Torsten; when you try to stop the BM-Link and it starts to "wait" - disconnect the powercord or the USB to the beoport - this should stop BM link.

Uninstall BM-Link, reboot and re-install BM link...make sure that you have iTunes 7.42 loaded......connect everything again - check that the BM link logo at the top right is on ON as well - i had a simillar problem and i had to start/stop multiple times in the preference menu before i got it working....Good luck -- Klas
 

Hi Klas,

thanks for that hint. I tried it - but to no avail. Uninstalled BMLink, reinstalled it, stopped it ("waiting...") unplugged BeoPC - nothing. You write you had to do start/stop multiple times. Did you always unplug the BeoPC?

 cheers

Good point. Will try and see what happens ...

cheers

Ok, I played a little w/ installing/re-installing BM-Link while plugging Beolink PC in and out. I am at a point now, where the box switches on, when I press N.Music. But I have to manually start iTunes (7.4.2) to listen to music. So clearly something's broken. But what. Anyone have any clue?

Also, it seems that Parallels is confusing BMLink. Even though I did not map BeoLink PC to be a USB device visible to Parallels, BMLink was at some point complaining, that it was in use by some other program. Quitting Parallels cured this.

Any thoughts anyone?

Anders, where are you :-)?

cheers

Here's to prove that IT does not follow any logical paths. I deinstalled 1.5 and reinstalled 1.0!

And it works.

Deinstalled 1.0 and reinstalled 1.5

And it doesn't work.

Reinstalled 1.0 again

And it works.

I mean, I work in IT myself and I know there's a small program in every large program trying to break out - but that BMLink stuff is really weird. So, all you folks out there having trouble on an Intel Box - go back to 1.0 and it might work.

Anders: what's happening here?

cheers

Hi Torsten

Which version of iTunes are you using? I de-installed BM-Link 1.5 and installed 1.0, but there was the same problem with iTunes 7.4.2.

Regards,

Christoph

I think it is really a shame now that the guy behing BM-Link has not yet updated the software for leopard and the latest version of itunes. it has been several months now.

it is a shame as well that B&O are not supporting the mac themselves, but rely on the goodwill of independent developers.

p. 

I am using 7.4.2 and 1.0. I also noted, that BM Link will stop working as soon as Parallels runs - regardless whether or not BeoPC's USB Port gets mapped to Parallels. So even though a USB Port is not mapped to Parallels it seems Parallels is doing something to these ports that BM-Link doesn't like. When I kill BM Link manually (under 1.0 it's just one process, 3 with 1.5), quit Parallels and then restart BM Link from preferences it works fine.

Anders, if you read this, please try to understand what happens there. B&O if you read this: you guys are a disgrace - you should be supporting the Mac.

regards

Okay, I'd like to confirm this.  I have iTunes 7.4.2 and beoport firmware 1.2.1.  I downloaded BM-Link package 1.0, RAN THE UNINSTALLER, then loaded 1.0.  Now it works almost exactly like it should.  The colored buttons and everything do their thing.  The only weird thing is the << and >> buttons fast forward and fast reverse, which may be how the old version worked.

It's pimp... it even skips the N.Radio playlist when you're changing the playlists. 

No idea about with iTunes 7.5.
