I simply can't believe Apogee nor Apple does not have the brainpower to solve this problem. Like apparently many other buyers, I have an iPad2, updated to latest iOS version 5.1, brand new JAM with Firmware revision listed as 1.5.0 and Hardware Revision listed as 2.0.0. GarageBand on iPad2 is version 1.2.
Same problem as many others...green light is on the Jam device but no light from GarageBand monitor on my iPad2 showing connectivity.
HOW CAN NEITHER SIDE STEP UP TO THE PLATE? arrrrrgggghhhhh.
This is a problem that should have been fixed months ago. Where's the software upgrade that will let us use the darn device properly?
Apogee jam with ipad 2 os5.0.1 does not work, even after the jam's firmware was upgraded as suggested by apogee site. Nothing to do. All tentatives to perform a different start or restart sequence and any other workaround failed. I am disappointed
If you bought this to play with Garage Band warning !! Connectivity issues galore! The app won't recognize the Jam input devise and the latest ios updates and firm ware haven't solved the issue! Wasted 100 dollars! Sooo frustrating!
