Help! Trouble with M-Audio Firewire 410 MIDI Compatability

I am currently working on an iMac running OSX 10.4.11. I have been unsuccessful in trying to use a Yamaha P-70 keyboard, running through my M-Audio Firewire 410 using the MIDI input to record MIDI sounds in Garageband. I have had great success with this in the past before this version of iLife with the Garageband updates. My computer recognizes I have a MIDI device, and I have changed the proper settings both on the control panel and within Garageband to reading the M-Audio Firewire 410, yet I am not getting any signal from the keyboard as a MIDI instrument and therefore cannot record any sounds. Does anyone have any suggestions, or is this something perhaps someone else has dealt with already? I appreciate your help!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

sorry that I can't offer any help, other than I noticed my 410 fell out of favor w/GB after the updates

very disappointing

Very interesting. Couple of questions for you:

1. Did it only affect MIDI instruments or real instruments as well?

2. If it stopped working with GB, what did you to fix the problem? Would it possibly work with Logic? I have contemplated purchasing that software.

3. Do you know of any fixes for the 410?

One other question: I used to have a PC, and you could do a system restore to revert back to an older time and place. Is there a similar function for a Mac?

I only record real instrument tracks, so i noticed it w/ a mic'd guitar cab

I have not fixed the problem

I think Logic would be fine, as I was thinking the same thing, because it seems now that any interface you buy could be a slave to GB updates

Don't know of any fixes for the 410

is the MIDI thru button engaged? That would route the MIDI directly to the output and not into the computer.

Do you get any response if you use the test setup feature in Audio MIDI Setup?
