Hi, I am new to Macs; I just bought an iMac a couple weeks ago, for Garageband, iMovie and all that fun stuff..
I was trying to set up a MIDI instrument last night, but wasn't having any luck. My keyboard is a Roland GW-7. I connected it to the computer via USB, and had an icon pop up on my desktop. When I opened that icon there was two folders for songs and styles..

Do I have to install some software for my specific instrument?
When I was using garageband, it could not detect the MIDI Device.

Any help is good help. Thanks!

Go to the Roland website, and download the latest drivers for your keyboard and install them. if it still isn't working, go into Audio MIDI setup and take screenshot so we can see how you are set up.
