If this does not solve the problem, your computer is probably experiencing a driver conflict with the eMagic MIDI driver that ships with Mac OS X. Unless you are using an eMagic MIDI interface, remove the eMagic driver by deleting it from Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > MIDI Drivers. If this does not work, try removing all of the MIDI drivers from that folder to see if that solves the problem. (Back them up to a thumbdrive and delete them from the computer.)
