I run iTunes 8.0.2 and BM-Link 1.50.2, runs perfectly, every time.

I've been using BeoPort with iTunes 8, no issues.  Then again, I have two little settings I've discovered that give me an up and running system, always:

a. Mac Mini is set to not look for system updates automatically.  I found that the "you have system updates ready to install" system pop up made the Mac unresponsive to BeoPort.

b. Mac Mini is set to shut down automatically at 3:55 am and re-boot at 4:00 am, every day.  It also falls asleep after 15 mins of inactivity and wakes up the second any B&O Master Linked product is turned on around the house.

Strange... BM-link 1.50.2 is for Leopard, isn't it? Could that be the reason your working perfect and not mine?.

I cannot say for sure that it is the updated Itunes which have caused the problem. Think there was an update for "Mac's with intel processors" as well.

Frankly, I can't recall what BM-Link 1.50.2 is for... but the Mac Mini is running OS X 10.5.6.  The Mac Mini is of recent vintage and features an Intel processor.

By the way, the reason I decided to set a daily reboot in the Energy Saver preferences panel is because if not after a few days the Mac would become unresponsive or unsynchronized to Master Link commands, which is unacceptable.  Hence, easier to have the Mac restart while we sleep.

Hi all,

I have same problem with Mac Book Pro. After I updated iTunes, my BeoPort don't work. is there any possibility to go older version back in iTunes or have anybody solution to this problem. Argh... I bought RCA-cable today... and connected it to my BC2. That was only good idea to play mp3 songs right now. :(

Beo, please make own Mac software asap! 😭

Just for kicks, I just installed on my MacBook Pro to try out on my system.

MacBook Pro —15", 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (1.5 yrs old), OS X 10.5.6

BeoPort —Firmware 1.31

BM-Link —v. 1.50.2

iTunes —8.0.2 (20)

Works fine!  What versions of the above do you have?

Here is what I have:

MacBook Pro —15", 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (2.5 yrs old), OS X 10.4.7

BeoPort —Firmware 1.31

BM-Link —v. 1.50.1

iTunes —8.0.2 (20)

And BeoPort don't works anymore

Ahh!  I see.

Unfortunately, I no longer keep installations of OS X 10.4 around, so I would not be able to test the combination of OS X 10.4 with iTunes 8.0.2 with BM-Link v. 1.50.1

I wish I could be of additional assistance, but at this point your best bets might be to

(1) write Anders Ölund, or

(2) find another user still using OS X 10.4 and do some testing or

(3) upgrading to OS X 10.5 so you can use BM-Link 1.50.2

One activity I have found useful with OS X is to "repair privileges" once in a while.  Launch Disk Utility, select your main drive, verify disk and repair privileges.  Shot in the dark, useful to do anyway from time to time.

Keep us posted!

Well, still no luck for me. Seems as if BM-link creates a whole lot of information in "System messages", please see below. 

Mar  9 22:50:19 Macintosh crashdump[381]: BMLinkMLServer crashed

Mar  9 22:50:19 Macintosh crashdump[381]: crash report written to: /Users/emil/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/BMLinkMLServer.crash.log

etc...

Writing to Anders Ödlund could be a solution but I am not sure how active he is in this forum anymore. It would make me feel a bit more comfortable if there were someone else who could confirm the problem (or even propose a solution to it) before disturbing him. At least there seems to be two of us now but really thought there should be more of us if this is just not something with our Mac's. Or are we the only one's who still makes use of Mac OS X 10.4 and Beoport?

Anyway, many thanks for your input so far. It is highly appreciated. I will keep ypu posted should I find a solution to this problem.

Best regards,

Emil 

Emil,

I run OSX 10.4, BM-Link 1.50.1 and iTunes 7.6.2 on a rather old G4 Mac Mini.

I have been thinking of upgrading iTunes to play with the "Genius" feature, but have not because of fear of what you have run into.

I may have some time to mess with this tomorrow.  I will let you know if I run into this same error.

On the other hand, I do have iTune 7.6.2 as a .dmg file which you should be able to install if you just uninstall your current version.

Unfortunately, I can only send e-mail attachments up to 10MB, and this file is 46MB so I don't know how I can get it to you.  If you have any ideas (do you have an ftp server somewhere?), let me know.
