[GoogleCodeExporter]

Whats the problem?
1. My Casio CTK-720 isn't recognized
2. Yes, I restarted my Mac
3. Yes, I preformed a SMC reset
4. Yes, I preformed a PRAM reset
5. Even reinstalled the midi driver package

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I see Nothing! Zippo! Zielch! No recognized Keyboard :(

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OSX 10.8.2 
Casio CTK-720
GarageBand

Please provide any additional information below.

ANY CHANCE THERES AN UPDATED DRIVER VERSION FOR MY CTK-720, CAUSE I DONT KNOW 
HOW THE MIDI_PACKAGE CAN SAY ITS MOUNTAIN LION COMPATIBLE WHEN THE TIMESTAMP ON 
THE PACKAGE IS 2011! MOUNTIAN LION CAME OUT IN 2012!! LMAO!!

You didn't have to reset your PRAM or SMC. Now, when you say you see nothing, 
could you be more specific ? Is the driver showing in Audio/MIDI Utility ?

Did you install more than one version of this driver ? If so, make sure you 
only have one by deleting anything you have manually copied in your Library 
folders. 

You can also check the Console in Applications/Utilities for any MIDI-related 
messages. 

The driver is Mountain Lion compatible because they did not change anything 
about the MIDI drivers framework, and so I did not have to rewrite a new 
driver. I tested it with my own keyboard and laptop and it works. Many others 
commented the same.

Keep in mind that I do not work for Casio, am not paid for this work and thus 
do not plan to spend any money on buyIng multiple devices to test every 
possible combination. I do know that the CTK-720 should work, unless you're 
doing something very wrong with it.

I do understand third party sites like yours are not paid, I didn't expect a 
response this soon. But am very appreciative. 

Anyway, for better understanding. I have my keyboard using USB obviously 1) I 
installed the latest package installer on the site. 
2)There are no files in library/audio/midi folder. It's empty.
3) also in system preferences/sound/input 
Nothing's shows up when keyboard is plugged in. (Even re-plugged in)
4) the console shows nothing happening?

**I mean everything should be self-explanatory. So why mine won't work is 
beyond me.

where does the package install the files? Maybe I should delete them and 
reinstall?

Thanks much

The installer package installs in your system's library folder, so 
/Library/..., and not ~/Library/...

It will not show up as an audio input device, this driver only transmit MIDI 
info, and should show up in the MIDI window of the Audio/MIDI Setup app found 
in /Applications/Utilities. If it shows up there, you will be able to use your 
keyboard to drive virtual instruments in Garage Band or any other 
MIDI-compatible app. 

I am not familiar with the CTK-720, but check in your manual if you need to put 
the keyboard in a special mode to output MIDI notes. I know mine doesn't output 
MIDI in some modes other than "Normal". 

Hope this helps,
