Getting "connection refused" when setting up wireless midi connection to ipad 2 via AudioMidi

This was working beautifully up until I finally upgraded to iOS 5.0.1 (directly from 4.something) this past week. Now when I open the AudioMidi Network setup window and attempt to connect to the iPad from the Directory list it tries to connect but immediately errors with "<IP>:5004 refused the connection request." (where <IP> is my iPad's local network address. The only change that I've made to any of this setup is upgrading the tablet's OS. I've tried doing a full reset/restart of both the computer and the iPad as well as completely resetting the networking on the iPad. The iPad can see the network and shows up in the AudioMidi -> Network dialogue in the Directory list, it's simply not accepting the midi connection from my computer now. I don't know what's up? Anybody?

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1

You will need to contact the authors of the AudioMidi Network App to find the answer. They may be working on an update that is compatible with iOS 5.

Fred,

Are you saying that Apple does not develop and maintain the Audio Midid Setup app contained in the Utilities folder? There's nothing in the program's Help or About info that would indicate that.

Mage2k-

I suppose you got me on that one. I found an Audio MIDI Setup.app that I did not know was there. I thought you were referring to an iPad App.

But what App are you using on the iPad that can communicate with Audio Midi? If it worked with an Apple-supplied App under iOS 4, you should provide feedback to <iPad Feedback> so Apple can correct the problem.
