Firewire help please

k guys i nee some serious help....im getting a little nervous here.
I recently purchased a mackie mixer the onyx 1620, and the other day i purchased the firewire adapter
let me just say the mixer is great, i couldnt be happier. However, the firewire card isnt picking up all the channels when i use garage band. i know garage band only allows for 8 tracks at a time. But when i go into the applications folder and click on the input and choose onyx firewire, it doesnt show the 8 channels. Im getting annoyed at why this wont work, any advice and or help would be greatly appreciated

K so here is the thing...when i use to record to my mac before i had the firewire i would record through the tape in and out. So all of my instruments recorded into one track, that creates an issue when you want to edit your instruments. And at that time the volume was good the waves were visable and the lights would get to the sweet spot, right be for it clips.
I purchased the firewire so that i could record every instrument on separate tracks. This is possible, and the recording works, but usually when you record you see a big audio wave going up and down...not the case for me. When i do record it looks as though nothing is getting recorded my volumes are as high as the can go, and the lights arent even in the green. This issue makes it hard to edit my recordings
please help

Firewire Port not working, URGENT help please¡¡¡

Hello People, i´ve just got a new Mac Mini last week, and i´ve been trying to get my Alesis MasterControl audio interface, and is just a complete mess.
This happened right after i´ve upgraded to 10.8.3 so i don´t know, the weird thing is that if i connect my old iBook to the Mac Mini the FW800 port works, but everytime i connect the audio interface, nothing happens, also the drivers from alesis, are up to date. i first thought about the port of the Mixer went bad, but it has 2 and non of them works, also thought about the cable but the same cable works when i connect my iBook, and the mixer is not bus powered, it has it´s own power supply.
Needless to say i´ve already done the usual reset PRAM, turn of the Mac unplugged for 30 hour to reset the bus. etc.
This is the usual firewire only system log that i get:

My Apple desktop computer, 2.4 GHz Intel duo core, OS 10.6.8, stopped recognizing the WD My Book connected via firewire. It works fine with the USB port so it's not the drive. Help please.

My Apple desktop computer, 2.4 GHz Intel duo core, OS 10.6.8, stopped recognizing the WD My Book connected via firewire. It works fine with the USB port so it's not the drive. Help please?

It can be the bridge. It could need firmware update. or the FW ports may be an issue. LaCie seemed to invent the phrase/tip 'resetting firewire ports' due to the issues with their drive cases.
You can try an SMC Reset.
So far I have avoided name-brand and tend to see them mentioned. Often with a new OS (though you are on 10.6.8, but when 10.6 came out there was a common complaint and thread of users: FW or USB worked but not the other interface).

Hello, I have a Sony GV D300E mini DV editing deck.MY imac latest I7 model does not see it when I plug it in via firewire to usb, any help please.

My iMAC i7 will not see the device, it is from firewire to usb.
Any help please.

The connection on the player is firewire
You need the following:
Apple Thunderbolt - Firewire adapter
4-pin to 9-pin Firewire cable like this one
No software drivers are needed.
No icon will appear on your Mac desktop when the deck is connected. You need to use video capture software such as iMovie, Final Cut, etc. in order to "see" and use your Firewire deck. (I believe QuickTime Player will also "see" your deck and allow playback.) You will probably have to use the manual controls on the deck to control actual playback start & stop.
I have recently bought a cable,firewire one end and USB on the other
Hard to believe there is such a cable. If there is such a cable, it's a scam. Firewire and USB are totally different, electrically and protocol-wise. Even if there is such a cable, it will not work for connecting your miniDV player to a Mac. miniDV (video) has always been a Firewire-based connection. Sony calls Firewire "i.Link"

On external monitor: GOOD. after render & dvd: BAAAAD. help, please!

Hi, I edited a 60i NTSC video from a canon XL2, and it looks fine on the external monitor (TV), the FCP preview and everything. It even looks good when I export a QT mov with no compression.
But as soon as I burn it on iDVD and play it on a DVD player, the whole interlacing business goes terribly, terribly wrong.
I've tried all possible exporting settings, but it doesn't work. Should I de-interlace the clips? I've gathered from reading the forums that it might help, but it sounds like a desperate solution, since the text should be interlaced but not the video?
I mean... what did I do wrong? Isn't ot supposed to just work straight-through with the NTSC DV Easy Setup and changing only to "None" on the compressing settings at export?
Any help, please? Anybody?

oh, OK.
For exporting, I used the Export>Quicktime movie, just like you said, using the current setting (i.e. Compression:None)
The DVD player was connected to a PAL TV, but it's OK because the DVD player can read anything. I know because I've watched NTSC as well as PAL dvd movies before.
The Canon XL2 the Mac is connected to, via Firewire, is NTSC, connected via RCA to the PAL TV. Which means the signal I'm watching is Black & White... (I know this sounds WEIRD)... but it's O.K. because what I'm really checking as I edit is the interlacing problem that I got when playing the DVD on the dvd player.... : the BAD problem.
How bad? Really bad. Any sudden movement, or panning of objects with vertical lines, like a painting or a building looks all wobbly and curvey and blurry and wrong, which is unnacceptable for the project I'm doing, as it is a professional work (Meaning that I'm charging money for it, despite the crazy assemble of different products and formats I'm using).
I've gotten things that look good before, but never on Final Cut Pro.. I'm new to the program, and to Mac, and this is the first video I'm exporting to a DVD on this platform.

Former pc user converted to mac..ipod not recognised? help please

I have just changed my operating system from windows to mac osx. I plugged in my ipod and it only recharges,it doesn't recognise ipod. I assume this is becauseI need to reformat the ipod.Can anyone inform the the process involved,I have looked through endless pages of mac support and can not find a definitive answer. I have downloaded the latest ipod updater and still nothing. Help please.

Adrian
Here's a few suggestions to try.
1. Restart your Mac then plug in the iPod. Open "Disk utility" and see if your iPod shows up. Sometimes the "spinning beachball" icon may show up, give at least 15 mins before you conclude that the Mac is locked up. You can also try hitting the Mount button. This may cause the iPod to show up.
2. If that does not work, go to the Apple menu and select "About this Mac", click "more info" and go to FireWire. See if the iPod shows up there.
3. If #1 and # 2 does not work then download the latest PC version of the iPod updater. Instal on your PC, restore using this which would wipe the iPod. When this is done, connect to your Mac. If it shows up in Disk Utility then your can Erase and format "Mac OS extended". If this step is not successful, hit the "security options" button and select "zero all data" and try again. You may then need the Mac version of the latest iPod updater to update firmware.
Hope one of this works for you.

Have 60 gig ipod classic will power up will go to songs but will not play any songs just sits there on 0 I can fast foreword but it still will not do a thing just sits at new spot in song and will not play , help please.

Update!
This is what I did to fix both the skipping songs problem and the iPod verifying forever & not able to restore problem (because of iTunes 9):
a) I used Disk Utility to reformat my iPod while in Disk Mode using the instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363?viewlocale=en_US
and here:
http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/erase/index.shtml#backup
b) Do not unplug your iPod after reformatting (mine showed up as a firewire disk) - simply launch iTunes ( I went back to 8.2) and follow the Restore instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
iPod is recognized, syncs and doesn't skip songs anymore after that miserable experience with iTunes 9!!!

After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD. Simply boot from the Recovery HD to perform the above.

2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I keep being asked to update my Safari but when I do a Software update it scans but never gives me a list and just says no new updates. Help please!

There are no updates to either OS 10.5.8 or Safari 5.0.6.
If you need a later version of Safari you must first upgrade your operating system to a later version of OS X.

At the end of my IMovie I want to write some text: as in" Happy Birthday Mandy we had a great time with you. etc.. How do I go about this? Which icon in IMovie lets me have a place to write text?? help please

Please see my ? above: Im making an IMovie and need the last frame to just be text (can be on a color). I don't know how to go about doing this. Ive already done all my photos and captions. Need to have it ready for TOMORROW: Friday May 23rd. Help please!

You can choose a background for the text from Maps and Backgrounds. Just drag a background to the end of the timeline, adjust to desired duration then drag title above it.

I have just updated my PC with version11.14. I can no longer connect to my Bose 30 soundtouch via media player Can anyone help please

I have a Bose soundtouch system .Until today I could play my iTunes music through it via air player . .I have just uploaded the latest upgrade from iTunes and now I am unable to connect to the Bose system . Can anyone help please? I can connect via my iPad and by using the Bose app so it is not the Bose at fault

@puebloryan, I realize this thread is a bit old, but I have encountered a similr problem and wondered if you had found a solution. I've been using home sharing from itines on my PCs for years, but two days ago, it suddenly stopped. I can share from my Macs, but not from the ONE PC library where I keep all my tunes. I tried all the usual trouble-shooting measures.
After turning home sharing off on the PC's iTunes, turning it back on and turning some other settings off and on, my Macs and Apple TV could briefly "see" the PC library, but as soon as I try to connect -- the wheel spins for a bit and then the connection vanishes. It's as if they try and then give up.
Since this sounds so similar to your problem, I was hoping you finally found a solution. I am also starting a new thread. Thanks!

My iMac 24 can no longer be paired with the keyboard; it doesn't recognise any keyboard at boot up, even the one it is paired with. Can anyone help, please?

Thank. Simon

Brian - The batteries are fine and there has only every been one keyboard paired with it. We have tried my MacPro keyboard as well, and it will not even recognise that there is a discoverable keyboard nearby.
Thanks, Simon

Photoshop Elements 6 on Mac help please !!!!!

Hi there,
I need help please !!!!!
I have PSE 6 for my imac and bought myself a NIKON D60 so far so good. I have installed PSE 6 which comes with ADOBE Bridge CS3
I have bought a book as well as I am new to photoshop and in fact DSLR cameras.
I have got my photos into Bridge OK by the way they are JPEG format. According to the book I can open the JPEG in camera RAW by either selecting the JPEG and then pressing cmd+R or by selecting the JPEG and select open with and camera RAW should be available to selct.
I cannot get of the options to work any ideas please
Secondly I have taken some photos in RAW format and put then into Bridge again I cannot get the camera RAW interface to open with these neff images.
If I try to open the image PSE 6 opens and gives me an error that the file format is not supported by PSE 6
Am I missing something here as I have been trying for a week now !!!!!
Sorry if this comes across a stupid question but it is new to me
Chris UK

There's no "theory" about it. You should be able to open a raw file from bridge by double-clicking it, but it will open in ACR in PSE. You can't just use ACR within bridge in PSE, if that's what you're trying to do. To open a JPEG in ACR, go to file>Open in PSE and choose Camera raw as the format after you select the file but before you click Open.
If you've correctly updated ACR, bridge should show you thumbnails of your raw files. If it doesn't try emptying the Bridge cache.

Photoshop CS2. Help please.

Approx 8 years ago I purchased Photoshop CS2 online from Adobe. This past weekend I had to buy a new computer (Windows 8.1), and when I logged into my Adobe account just now to obtain my serial number and enter it after I attempted to download CS2, it said invalid serial number. Help please.
Both tech support and the online chat person were not able to help me.

The Activation Servers for CS2 and prior have been taken down. See the link below for an explanation and solution. Be sure to follow all directions, including using the new download serial number supplied on the page.
