Firewire input interface not recognized by GB

The external interface I am using for my microphone input appears in System Preferences.  The microphone works with ichat.  In GB, however, the only input that appears in the GB preferences is built-in mic. Suggestions?

Thank You.
Completely escaped my attention thanks to some devilishly clever packaging by MOTU.
Cheers

  • Interface not recognized

    Hello!I have an iMac (Version10.6.8) and i've been using it with a M-audio fast track ultra interface,since i updated the iMac,the interface was not recognized by the iMac,i've tried all the drivers for this version i found, but it's still the same,any help?Thanks!

    Hey bro -- I am probably a minority here in my complete dislike and distrust of MOTU products, but the same thing happened to me when I bought an 8pre -- it just stopped functioning and no one, at MOTU or anywhere, could figure out why. (And even when it did work it was sort of klugey). Luckily I was able to return it. Recently had a similar crap situation with a MOTU fastlane MIDI/USB interface: downloaded the most current drivers from MOTUs site and it stubbornly refused to appear. Returned it an bought and Edirol, which I had up and running, and connected a MCU to, in minutes.
    All I could recommend is check their web site and see if there are new drivers. Or leave a message with their rech support via the site -- they do respond, eventually (within 48 hours in my experience).
    Good luck.

  • MIDI interface not recognized after Mavericks install

    Hi,
    I was using a Midisport UNO with OSX 10.6, connecting my keyboard with the Mac Pro and using programs such as Live and Garageband. After the Mavericks install, I have a bunch of obsoleted hardware. I understand that Midisport have not come up with a driver to support Mavericks just yet. But that is not my issue.
    Today, I purchased a new MIDI interface, one that is class compliant and so requires no driver software. According to everything that I have read, from external literature to the interface's literature, the device should work just fine. But my Mac Pro doesn't recognize the device in the Audio and MIDI Setup utility. In fact, it recognizes the Midisport UNO just fine but that device is greyed out and I guess this means there is no correct driver.
    I have noticed that the Mac Pro seems to turn off ports when supplying power to USB devices. Sometimes, the front USB ports will not connect my iPhone to iTunes, for example. When I restart, the power sometimes returns. So is this a power issue or does my connectivity problem lie with the MIDI interface?
    Thank you

    I just purchased a new iMac running Mavericks. I have an M-Audio Keystation 49e, I have the same issue. It won't work or be recognized in adui/midi setup. It is there, just greyed out. I have searched everywhere for a fix. All you find is delete this, delete that. It worked fine on Mountain Lion, now it is useless to me. I have tried running it through a hub, doesn't fix the issue. I use power as opposed to just the USB, doesn't fix the issue. Can someone please point us in the right direction so we don't have to go spend more money on a midi keyboard because of Mavericks?

    Again, please post the version of OS your iMac is running and what version of iTunes you have. It's going to be really difficult for anyone to offer advice without having basic information about your setup.

  • Firewire 800 device not recognized after a power cycle

    I picked up a Seagate FreeAgent Desk | Mac edition (1 Terabyte) a few weeks ago and the first thing I did was format it on my iMac (it came formatted, but I figured it wouldn't hurt). I also wanted to make sure it was done right. So I know the FS works great with this iMac.
    As you may see, I have a 3.06 24" iMac to give you an idea of what machine this is being plugged into. The one FW 800 port in the back.
    I picked 1394b (FW800) because the speeds are so impressive - and so far this drive is working great! With one exception ..
    When I power the machine down & bring it back online, the drive does not automatically come back - and I have to disconnect either the power, or Firewire 800 cable (which I've tried two of - the stock one with the Seagate product and another high quality cable). After that it's smooth sailing.
    I just want to get this device working between boots so I can rely on it to take my time machine backups without worrying about fiddling with it to get it working.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated, and unfortunately this is my only FW 800 device (not much troubleshooting possibilities). I'm looking to buying a WD MyBook Studio 1TB Fw800 drive - but I won't be doing that (yet) if the port is my issue and not the Seagate drive.
    This link is to an image in which you can see my Fw settings in System Profiler.
    http://i39.tinypic.com/105dz4y.png
    I've been reading the Seagate forums looking for some help, and there seems to be issues with the drivers powering themselves off and confusing the OS, but this doesn't look to be the case. Unfortunately I've got 700GB of data on this drive and will need to move the contents to my on-board drive so I can format the unit with Fat32, plug it into an XP PC (gogo upstairs) and run the Seagate Manager.exe and see if I can modify the power settings (all on a whim, awesome).
    I'm just curious what I should do - I don't live in a city where there's an Apple store but there is an Apple authorised reseller/service centre. It looks as though I'll be heading there to see what's up.
    Has anyone else seen a problem like this?
    Thanks in advance,
    hENN

    not enough specific information about what caused the problem but I'll give you some pointers to ALWAYS follow with firewire drives. I've been using them for many years without issues through all the OSX versions.
    If Mac is powered on: power on seagate and wait a few for the hard drive to spin up, connect firewire cable to Mac first then Seagate. When done : a) unmount the seagate listen for the hard drive to complete its cycle then power seagate down, remove firewire from Mac first then seagate. b) or just power down Mac then power off seagate when the Mac is done.
    If Mac is not powered on: connect firewire cable to mac and seagate, power on seagate and listen for hard drive spin up to complete then power on Mac.
    The problem with firewire is, if user makes just one mistake with the above then firewire recognition comes into play, such as device will not mount to desktop, etc. Sometimes user gets lucky and nothing happens but consider that rare.
    So if user does have firewire troubles , what to do? Not fool proof but many times successful, disconnect external power and all cables and power cycle the external on/off a few times but listen for hard drive spin up and spin down. On the Mac either one or both zap the pram and or power manager reset. This works many times but does not save an external if user highly abuses the procedure. You can also apply this to USB troubles.

  • Firewire Target Function Not Recognizing Partitioned Drive

    My hard drive is partitioned and one partition contains my iTunes, iPhoto and other applications. When I upgraded to my new iMac, I used the Firewire Target function but the partition I needed wasn't recognized. Should I give up and get myself to a Genius Bar or is there something else I could try?

    Hello! Why don't you consider buying a firewire external case and put the old drive in the case. You can access your data and after you've got it all on the new machine you can use the old drive as a clone for emergency startup and repairs if it's large enough to clone your new system onto. Starting with a new machine you're probably better off starting from scratch and adding your data to the new virgin system. Tom

  • GPIB ENET Interface not recognized

    Bonjour.
    Je désire savoir si votre contrôleur GPIB-ENET est compatible avec les nouveaux réseaux dont le taux de transfert est au moins de 100 Mbytes/s avec une connectique RJ45. En effet, la led READY du notre ne cesse de clignoter quelque soit la position des switches DIN sauf lorsque le 6 est à ON et tous les autres sont à OFF. Le test du contrôleur échoue à la phase "GPIB Interfaces Sequentially" et m'informe que l'adresse IP est manquante. Or il lui est bien attribué une telle adresse. Enfin, si je décide de lui assigner une nouvelle adresse et que j'allume le switch 5 et éteinds tous les autres, la led READY ne cesse de clignoter.
    Je vous remercie de votre réponse.

  • Firewire port not recognized after 10.7.5 update??

    I updated yesterday to OS X Lion 10.7.5 and now my MacBook Pro says my firewire port is not recognized…any ideas??

    Wow, no help at all. Thanks, Apple!! Another stellar performance. That's the last time I ever install an update as it comes up.

  • Equium A100-299: Firewire (IEEE 1394) port is not recognized

    I have a new A100299.
    It seems that the firewire port is not recognized. Is there any software or driver that is not installed? Or what can I do?
    Regards
    U Molin

    Hi
    What do you mean with not recognized? Did you check the device manager and there is a yellow exclamation mark or what?
    In my knowledge the Windows XP uses the own firewire drivers and you dont need to use any 3rd party drivers to enable the IEEE1394 port.
    As I said above, please check the device manager if the port is listed properly. If there are no yellow exclamation marks everything was installed properly.
    By the way: Did you reinstall the OS?
    If yes how did you install it? Did you install the chipset utility.

  • Canon Gl2 Video Camera Not Recognized with Firewire 800 Connection

    I have a late 2010 mac with 2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7 Processor with 12GB DDR3 running 10.8.2 OSX.  I have a Canon GL2 video camcorder with a MiniDV tape I am trying to download to my computer.  I am using a new 4pin to 9pin Rocketfish Firewire 800 cable. My computer is not recognizing the firewire input from the GL2.  As suggested with other support threads, I have tried to turn the mac and computer off and on, as well as check to see if the cable is working.  I have also tried both a trial version of Final Cut, and Imovie 09 which is loaded on my Mac, neither of which will recognize the camera.  I clicked on the System Information icon and looked at the Firewire 800 status which was:
    FireWire Bus:
    Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices.
    Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec
    At least I know it recognized something.  I have also checked to make sure the Canon is set to DV-Out on the Menu.  Since I am unable to use a USB connector with MiniDV, would there be any other way to either A) Download the video to the computer, or B) get the Mac to recognize the source plugged into the Firewire?   Any help with this would be excellent.

    I believe that in order to be recognized, you have to start the process from within iMovie of Final Cut; as for your FW port, you can try these two different troubleshooting steps (may or may not work, but won't hurt):
    Reset SMC:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    PRAM:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    It may that your FW port is defective; it that turns out to be the problem, I hope you purchased Applecare because those ports are an integral part of the logic board, so that would have to be replaced ($$$).
    Since your footage is on DV tapes, you do need the FW to transfer it or it will not work. One other (involved) way would be to transfer your footage to a DVD if you have a DVD recorder and then get it on the Mac from there.

  • Yamaha p200+motu fastlane midi interface=GB not recognizing midi device =0(

    tried hooking up my motu fastlane midi interface to my yamaha p200 and to my mac mini for use in garageband. GB is not recognizing a midi interface. i read elsewhere that i may need a driver, but would it be for the yamaha p200 (keyboard) or the motu fastlane midi interface? or is it a driver for garageband??
    please help!!

    You need Motu's midi driver...Go to their site for the current version...in the Downloads section.
    You will need to log-in or register if you haven't already.
    Once installed and restarted you need to set up your midi connection in Apple's: Audio Midi Setup utility and connect the Fastlane to the Yamaha...
    Link here if helpful:
    http://www.showmeprotools.com/apple-ams-audio-midi-setup-for-pro-tools/
    Just imagine the Pro-Tools interface is the Fastlane...
    Typically the manufacturer model and names are no longer supplied in the Properties window. You can enter whatever names you want in that section. It doesn't matter. So don't worry if it's blank or not as shown in the link.
    If you want to use the internal sounds of the P200 then you will need to use the analog output connections from the P200 into the analog inputs of an audio interface...using a real instrument track.

  • 3rd gen iPod not recognized when using Firewire

    The 3rd gen iPod only charges via FireWire. Given the lousy battery life provided by the device, I need to be able to sync using the Firewire port of my Macbook (Home) or my Macbook Pro (work). The device is not recognized by iTunes (or in general, no notices are given that would indicate that the device is connected). I have:
    - Restored the device via USB
    - Restored it to be Apple format (it was previously Windows format)
    - Confirmed that it DOES work with USB - but that's not what I want
    - Tried this on 2 laptops
    - Confirmed that charging via Firewire DOES work - so I'm assuming that the cable works as well
    Is there a diagnostic application that will tell me the status of the on-board firewire port?

    I luckily still had a PC around. I was able to reset it on the PC, then reformat on the Mac.

  • My older iPod is not recognized by cars with a newer iPod interface

    And my new iPod Classic is not recognized by cars with the older interface. 
    I purchased a new iPod when I realized my new car wouldn't wouldn't recognize my older iPod.  Now I find my two older cars won't recognize the new device.  Is there an interface cable adapter out there anywhere?

    The Jaguar there is nothing you can do, and the new interface from the dealer are not compatible
    For the BMW, you have to find out what brand interface was installed in the vehicle
    can be dension or original BMW  in the x5, if dension you can get something call
    Scosche passPORT if  BMW brand you can get a new cable from Bmw with the usb and dual power supply,
    In the Mini if DIce brand you will need a new cable or new iPod interface, now they have a usb plug to do updates in case iPhone 5 is release in the future or any other updates from iTunes

  • Firewire ports, USB ports, and CD/DVD drive not recognized.

    I have a G3 PB with 2 FW and 2USB ports. I am running 10.2.8 with 256MB RAM. Upon starting this AM, I noticed the CD that was in my CD drive was not recognized. Nothing on the desktop. I have a 120 GB LaCie external firewire drive which was not recognized either. I tried a Lexar 2 GB thumb drive in the USB port but again nothing on the desktop. Here's what I have tried without success:
    1.) Several Restarts.Drives removed during start. Hooked to different ports after restart with no sign of drive on the desktop.
    2,) Resart With extensions off
    3.) Zapped the PRAM
    4.) Started from Systems disk and noted both external drives seen by the startup disk but thumb drive stated that it
    wasn't mounted.
    5.) Ran and fixed permissions on internal hard drive. Ran disk first aid. Restart again from internal drive would not recognize ports.
    6.) Created a new user account hoping a fresh account would recognize the peripherals but no luck.
    7.) Now wondering, if drives are seen by System install disk but not internal drive, is the OS askew in some way and if there are any tricks anyone knows to bring "sight to the blind"?
    G3 PB   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    How about running TechTool Deluxe (Comes on your Apple Care CD)
    Also, run Repair Disk from your Install Disc one (1).
    TechTool might show some things, and Repair Disk, from Disk Utilities on the install disk (1) might help repair some unknown issue.
    Another also, (Try after the afore mentioned, and/or before run Disk utility to see if the thumb drives mount in the Drives column) from your App./utilities/disk utilities.
    Hope these steps help.

  • External Firewire Hard Drive is not recognized

    Hello
    I have a LaCie External Firewire Hard Drive (like this one (http://www.lacie.com/us/support/support_manifest.htm?id=10105). Since it uses a fireware 400 cable, I bought a FireWire 800-400 adapter, the one from moshi that is sold in the mac store.
    I have tried connecting it to both ports in the external harddrive, connecting and disconnecting and still is not recognized. Any idea and suggestions?
    I already tried in another computer, with windows xp, and the hard drive works.
    Thanks.

    Hi, oops, I have more than 1 mac & I apologize for assuming you are a multiple mac owner..
    You could visit your local Apple Store or Local Apple Approved Service Agent.
    You could try connecting via USB if your external HD has the capability, it could also be a bad cable.
    You can check the Finder -> Preferences & the Show These Items..
    You can reboot with the Ext HD connected & see if it shows up on your d/top...L
