Thanks, i will look in to that. Another maybe silly question: I am trying to get my ableton link working again but i can't get it to work. Now i trie to read the manual but for some reason i can't click the hyperlinks in them. My mouse arrow changes in a text cursor when want to click on them. Do you know how to change that?
I want to know more about setting up midi over a network.
Thanks
Nils

Ableton link should work out of the box, if you have both machines connected to the same network.
You can find our support article here:

Hi,
It did work indeed but now it doesn't. Both mac's are on the same network, i enabled the AIC driver (bus 1) in MIDI set up on both machines. Selected MIDI input and CLock input in Resolume preferences. I suspect there is a problem with Resolume not being able to connect to the network at all. I have this strange problem that when i choose 'Check for updates' it freezes the menu and (i think) starts searching endlessly for a connection. The menu then is greyed out and i can't close the program and have to force quit it.
I know you have to permit resolume to make a connection but i can't find this is the menu's
I hope you can help me out on this.
Thanks!

You don't need midi for Link, it's a separate protocol entirely.
Try disabling the firewalls on the macs, in the OSX system preferences, Security.
(moved to a separate topic.)

I allowed resolume to make connections trough the firewall and the midi link is back. The ‘check for updates’ menu is still causing resolume to freeze though. I tried shutting down the firewall entirly but the problem remains. Any clues on what is causing this?

Are you on OSX Yosemite by any chance?

Does Link connect now?
