Resing MAX will not connect no matter what - AI Engine Unreachable

Hey everyone, If theres anyone that can help me I would greatly appreciate it. I have been going back and forth through email with support for almost a month now and my issue still has not been resolved so if anyone has any other ideas I would be glad to hear them.

When I open up Resing on my Mac Studio it will attempt to connect and then eventually give the message that it cannot connect and that the AI Engine is unreachable. I do have an internet filter to block explicit internet content but my filter has the domains for ikmultimedia.com etc. completely whitelisted so that shouldnt be an issue.

Interestingly enough on my laptop (Macbook Pro) which is running the same OS as my desktop computer, when I open up Resing it connects almost immediately so I thought that it might be a filter related issue still.

I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, installing older versions, newer versions, all with the same result. After paying for Resing MAX I’m pretty distressed that I haven’t been able to use it in over a month and I would be extremely grateful to anyone (Especially the support team) who can get this working properly for me

I bought Resing MAX

ReSing works locally, the engine is running on your computer not on our servers. Nothing is processed externally / in the cloud for ReSing. Please send your ticket information to @DC_IK and me via private message and we’ll have someone take a look at it. The support team does not use this forum, this is for the community to communicate together and for announcements, requests, etc that you can see with the subforum titles. We’ll have someone look into your ticket for you once you send the information via PM, thank you.

Have you tried any of these suggestions?

Please try closing the ReSing application and opening Activity Monitor (macOS) or Task Manager (Windows). Once open, use the search to check for any applications open with the name ā€œresingā€. If any are found, please force quit these items.

After this is done, you should be able to re-launch ReSing and get back to making music.

If that didn’t help your issues, the team would normally request logs:

macOS*
/Users//Library/Application Support/IK Multimedia/ReSing/ReSingEngine/logs

WIndows/PC
C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\IK Multimedia\ReSing\ReSingEngine\logs

*On macOS, using Finder’s Go drop-down you can find the User Hidden Library where these files are contained.

Unfortunately I have already done all of those things and sent logs as well almost a month ago

How do I PM @DC_IK ?

Click on the name in my message or yours and use the ā€œMessageā€ button that is in the popup.

Unless I’m missing something, I’m not seeing a Message Button

I’ll look into that, and in the mean time I’ve noted your ticket. Thank you.

Thank you VERY MUCH! I greatly appreciate it

@DC_IK Is there any sort of update? I can appreciate these things take time, but this has been over a month since it hasn’t worked and it takes many days to even get a reply that doesn’t get us any closer to resolving this

Thanks

For anyone who might be following this thread. It has been almost half a month since I last heard anything from support. I’m starting to think that after pre-ordering the highest version of this program, IK Multimedia is leaving me high and dry without even the courtesy of messaging back or trying to do a remote session (or the equivalent) to get this working. I’m pretty disappointed and it definitely gives the feeling of being taken advantage of

We are now at about 7 weeks since I first posted this issue. I have heard very little from the support team and as someone who bought in when it was first announced I’m pretty upset

Hi, I bought Resing MAX on 24 May. Then caught same problem, AI Engine Unreachable error!

My case, I am using both Mac and Win version. Windows ver. doesn’t have problem, but Mac (Macbook Air M4) ver shows me above error and Resing app has never launched at all!

Same point as you will be, Mac version and bought Resing MAX. I hope IK multimedia guys find and provide GOOD solution for us ASAP.

Did you try the suggestions above and/or from the IK FAQ?

Regarding log file, it seems to try connecting tcp://127.0.0.1:50000 but cannot connect.
In the log, there are hundreds of following phrases.

Reading port.txt file
Using port: 50000
Connecting to tcp://127.0.0.1:50000
Server not found
Server still not connected

Log ends with ā€œStopping connection after 1 minute, Server still not aliveā€.
… and now I understand why error message from Resing is ā€œAI engine UNREACHABLEā€.

One more to be reported, Resing Modeler is available in the same PC.

Hi, problem seems to be resolved. TCP port (127.0.0.1:50000) was used by another app.
As TCP port is released with terminal, Resing has started up.
In my environment, it looks like I’ll have to manually release the port from time to time, but for now, I’m glad the application is up and running.
There are plenty of areas for improvement, like displaying an error message to indicate that the port is blocked, or having the application automatically switch to a different port if it’s blocked. I’m hoping a version that fixes the issue will be released soon.

Hey, thanks for the update! I’m having this exact same issue on one of my Macs as well.
Could you post here the instructions and Terminal commands to release TCP port 50000? That way we can have a temporary fix while waiting for IK Multimedia to solve this issue in a future update.

paZā˜…

What other software is using that port for you? The only thing I see is old IBM dB2. On my Mac nothing uses that port.

Support will take this information and share with the devs if you let them know in your ticket, have you reported your issue to them? This forum is not used for direct technical support though I can relay some information it is best through the support team so they can do a few more tests and actually open bugs where necessary. None of the forum moderators are able to do that.

I’m surprised by the sheer volume of responses—it’s been far greater than I expected.
For now, I’ll post a report on this thread detailing the method that worked for me, and I’ll get in touch with technical support. (I haven’t contacted them yet.)
I’ll probably need to write quite a long explanation, so could you give me half a day or a day or so?
By the way, I’m in Japan, so you might want to factor in the time difference.

If you feel confident trying this yourself, first check the logs to see which port number Resing is trying to use on the localhost, then use the lsof command to find the application using that port and force it to close with the kill command.
If you start Resing straight after that, I think it should work.

Log file means log created in ReSingEngine/logs.
