Is there a true fix to Logic Remote connectivity?

I feel your pain 😠

First things first: are you having the problems when creating (using) a built-in ad-hoc network?

Follow JD's last post and try Ad Hoc....... to confirm its not an issue with your Router which is actually the most common reason for such problems..

The fact another app may work fine doesn't mean there isn't an issue with how your router handles ports etc..... as other apps might use different connection methods...

If you continue to have this issue then...

There may also be a conflict happening caused by other apps (maybe even the ipTouch app itself) or an external controller... which is why deleting the Control Surface file fixes the problem....

To troubleshoot...

Try quitting (Not just close but quit) all other apps on your iPad..... Unplug all external controllers.... Quit Logic.. delete the CS file on your Mac.. Launch LPX and then run just Logic Remote on your iPad.. Do not launch any other apps and do not plug in any external controllers.... Now see if the problem re-occurs.

No problem...

Please do let us know how it works out, either way......

Cheers...

Any Way we can pressure it to be fixed. I can't get a display on my extender. Really annoying

In almost every case I have helped with... where a user had this issue, it has either been a piece of conflicting hardware/software installed.. The incorrect use of a firewall or most commonly, the use of a router that didn't follow/implement normal protocols to the letter...

In particular several modem/router combos used by European ISPs like O2 seem to have this issue when used with LR. Replacing them with Apple Extremes or Expresses or in a few cases other pro level 3rd party routers... seems to always resolve the issue...

Note: I do not work for Apple so Im not promoting their products.. Simply a fact I have discovered over the years....

Or I use IpTouch, where connectivity is not an issue....

Again, just to clarify... That's likely because IPTouch uses a different connection/recognition method or means... to how LR works..

Maybe it uses a different port or PnP method to connect for example that your router isn't inadvertently blocking...

The fact it all worked prior to you updating to Yosemite might be related to the changes made in 10.10 and WiFi/networking.. that simply caused a 'knock on' incompatibility of some kind depending on the connection method and protocols, with your router.... If that is the case, it isn't the first time this has occurred and probably won't be the last unfortunately.

One last thing... As an example of how 'weird' all this stuff can get.... A client of mine has a Cisco router/modem combo... and like yourself, prior to 10.10 he had little issue with connecting LR to Logic. After the 10.10 update connectivity became a real issue.... I sent him one of my older Airport Expresses just to test and the problem vanished.

However, then a friend of his came over with his iPad 3 (The client has an iPad Air 1) and his friend couldn't connect at all... no matter what they and i tried.... My client also has an older iPad 3 and so for the heck of it.. he booted it up to see if he had the same issue as his friend and the result was no problems at all! Same iPad.. same iOS version same everything and yet, his friend could not get LR to connect and the client could without problem.... I can think of no reason why that would be so other than some defect or different hardware in the client's friends iPad that could cause this. Apple had no explanation either.... so the matter was never resolved though for my client, he has had no further issues at all.

Its Voodoo I swear! 🙂

Btw.. Have you simply tried reseting the Network settings on your iPad?

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

Note: You will need to reconnect to any prior WiFis after resetting the Network settings
