16.0.2, Macbook Pro (10.9) - iPad 1 Not Connecting

This message was edited 1 time. Last update was at 23/06/2014 23:57:37

Setup: 16.0.2 (latest firmware being used), iPad 1 (5.1.1), SLRemote (last version available for OS 5.1.1), Macbook Pro (2010 version), 10.9.x, Universal Control 1.7.x (latest version). Using adhoc via OSX AirPort.

Everything is connecting perfectly. Here's where things die...
After connecting the iPad's Wifi to the Macbook Pro's adhoc, the StudioLive software 'sees' that the iPad is connected (I can see this displayed in the "Remote" section). But after launching the iPad's SL Remote app, I have nothing showing under the "Devices Connected." ??

Does anyone have any idea why the iPad is not displaying/seeing the device?

Does anyone know if there is an issue with the older iPad (5.1.1), OS 10.9, SL Remote and the 16.0.2?

Any help is welcomed.

Thanks.

Anyone, anyone? Bueller?

I have heard a lot of issues lately referring to ad hoc networks. I personally never used them with my Gen 1 mixer, except as a test. I am not sure that it works at all with the Ai series... someone would have to chime in there and give their sage knowledge!

Whenever I see these type posts, though, I feel compelled to say ad hoc is a bad idea and I strongly encourage the user to spend the small amount of funds it takes to get a router. Anything less is like running a Ferrari on bicycle tires.

You've got a great mixer there. Let it breathe.

You will thank me later...

Someone told me that using a static IP might solve the problem. Ever heard of that solution?

Sometimes it can eliminate some connecting issues on a regular network, though I have never heard it needed on the SL. I don't have a 16.0.2 to check with, so I am hopeful someone with a similar mixer will drop in and help us out on this.

I remember reading that Mavericks has some issue with Ad-Hoc networks. Have you tried it with an external router?
