I have an interactive installation that uses MaxMSP, Java, MySql, Flash and PHP. It runs on 3 computers: a PC that controls a fingerprint reader, an input computer (currently an older iMac) and an output (G5) computer. The iMac and G5 are both running MaxMSP. The 3 computers are connected using a Linksys router and exchange database and I/O information. Everything has been working fine with this configuration.

I need to replace the older iMac with a new intel processor iMac. When I copied all the files from the old iMac to the new iMac, the configuration stopped working. On the old iMac, when I launched MaxMSP, I got a netsend message saying that it was connecting to the ports and a mysql message saying the ip addresses of the other 2 computers were connected and then everything was working.

On the new iMac, I did not get any of these messages, only error messages (sfplay~). So - it was not seeing the other 2 computers on the network.

Does anyone know how to remedy this? I'm using runtime on both iMacs and I tried it with 4.5 and 4.6 and neither worked. I own a full copy of Max and can install it on the new iMac if necessary.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

It's hard to make suggestions without further information, but it 

does sound as if the Max installation on the new machine isn't set up 

properly. (Also, 4.5 Runtime on the Intel Mac will be running under

Rosetta, which isn't what you want.)

Nick - thanks for your reply. would you be willing to help me trouble shoot if I send more info? If so - let me know what info would be most useful. thanks, Carol

I'm also in correspondance with tech folks at the Banff New Media Institute (they did the co-production on the piece), so hopefully will get an answer on this, but if you are still able to chat with me when you have more time, I would really appreciate it. thanks!
