Firewire soundcard doesn't get recognized anymore

Hi all,
I have a weird problem.
I've been using a Behringer FCA202 firewire audio interface.
This has always worked perfectly on both my mac mini(G4) & my macbook(intel C2D).
yesterday I installed an update for my intel & my G4.
The problem I now have is that my firewire card is still functional on my mini but no longer on my macbook...
If I look by means of system profiler I can still see it being connected to my firewire controller, but it no longer shows up in my Audio/midi setup...
Does anybody have an idea on how I could fix this?
Many thanks in advance,
Miguel

Hi MigCla,
Unplug everything except your magsafe from your macbook.
Try to boot into safe mode by booting and press shift key, repair your permission by opening application folder > utilities > disk utility > repair disk.
And reconnect that firewire card afterward, and re-set up if it shows back up in audio/midi set up.
If your Firewire card have any driver that comes with, re-install it or check their sites for newer driver if available.
Good Luck.

  • As long as I´m in Germany I get connection between my Ipad touch and Mac. As soon as I´m abroad with my Ipad it doesn´t get connected anymore. Whats going on?

    Dear all,
    I bought a Ipod touch because I´m interested in video calls and would like to get conneced to my MacBook Pro at home (or better with my familiy, of course). As long as I have an wifi connection in Germany everything works perfect.. No problem at all. But whether from France, UK or USA I get a connection. From both end the call can be recognized (ringing) but it finally doesn´t get to the connection....
    What can I do to solve this issue?

    I should also point out that when I connect my iPhone, it DOESN'T appear as a connected drive on the desktop. Not sure how this can be so, since the iPhone also has a drive and also functions as an iPod if I want it to. I must have changed some setting to achieve this non-appearance, but don't remember what I must have done.
    What's the secret?

  • My iPod Touch wont charge and doesn't get recognized by my pc, also it doesn't start up

    So, i went on a trip with friends, so i kept my iPod Touch ( 4th gen) at home. When i came back, it just didn't start up, even the screen which says i have to charge my iPod didn't showed up. So i put my iPod in the charger, but no reaction. I also tried different chargers, same results. Furthermore, have i tried connecting my iPod with my PC, but the iPod Touch doesn't charge / get recognized by my pc. I re-installed everything which has to do with Apple and i also tried resetting my iPod manually.

  • USB external HD suddenly doesn't get recognized ... same with memory sticks

    I used an old Trekstor HD for TimeMachine. Worked just fine. Then, from one month to another (I kinda neglected making backups :P) the HD doesn't register when I plug it in. No sign that the MacBook even noticed that I stuck something inside it's USB port.
    But:
    * The HD works. It gets recognized just fine under windows (although windows can't read the drive).
    * The USB port works. iPod syncs just fine, USB printer prints, USB mouse mouses ...
    * other USB memory sticks are not recognized either. They work in the PC, but not in the MacBook.
    I can just assume that there's some setting that prevents OS X from hooking up external harddrives.
    I have absolutely no idea what I can do about it. Help please?
    Running OS X 10.5.8

    +old Trekstor HD+ may be clue.
    Possible HDD died, but your Win still sees something becuase USB port functions.
    Next time you plug the HDD into your MB, use System Profiler to check it.
    That may be best clue to see health of the HDD.
    And consider getting a new external HDD, at least as backup for your backup.
    Cheers!

  • After 10.5.6 Firewire Soundcard doesn't work anymore !!!

    Hi Guys,
    I work with Motu "896" and Presonus "Firebox" Soundcards and after the new update 10.5.6 nothing is working ....
    I tried Many tricks like :
    Reinstalling 10,5,6 combo version, nothing happen
    - Cycling power on Sound card... drive doesn't appear,
    - Different FireWire ports... drive doesn't appear,
    - Disk Utility... drive doesn't appear,
    - System Profiler... reports FIREWIRE BUS--> UNKNOWN DEVICE
    Usualy, my Presonus sound card didn't need any drivers to work with osx,
    i have contacted Motu online support, to check with them if it s a driver problem, they told me that they didn't know why Apple released this update, because they have so many problems with it, they notice that many firewire devices don't work or make problems with this update...
    Is this a test from them to check how many people are using firewire ??? a test about their new policy about firewire ?
    If anybody knows something to do, let me know please...

    Hello
    After the 10.5.6 update I am only able to get my Motu Ultralite MK3 to work after a reboot
    At first I thought I was loosing it when the system went into sleep mode
    But, I have turned sleep mode off on the system
    if I come back to the computer say after 8+ hrs, the system will not see the motu when it's turned on
    if I reboot the system it works fine
    I've ran extended diags on the system 2 times and it comes back clean
    Motu has yet to respond to my trouble ticket

  • My iPod Touch 4g doesn't get recognized with iTunes anymore after updating it to IOS 6 on a diffrent computer but it still charges

    Help me, how can I fix this?

    AFAIK, downloading directly to the device is typically smaller as it only gets the stuff it needs for your specific device as oposed to the  full download  when downloading from iTunes.
    Correct, no Siri for iTouch 4th gen.
    The Maps app is there, but I moved it around, so I'm not sure where it is on your device, but its in there.
    Safari is updated in iOS 6, your other apps should update in the App Store when their developers release updates, I've launched only a few apps so far, no problems with compatibility!

  • Ipod doesn't get recognized by my computer

    Tried everything what was on the troubleshooting.
    When I plug in my ipod(mini), i hear the sound you should hear. That confirms that a devices is plugged in.
    But after that nothing. In Itunes there is no ipod icon, no new drive at "This Computer" and the ipod updater doesn't recognize him so i can't format the ipod.
    Probably a lot of these threads but im too lazy to check them all out, so do you know what to do ?
    Ipod mini   Windows XP

    3. click restart...
    4. this does NOT erase your songs...it just refreshes the computers memory...

  • AirPort Express (first Generation) doesn't get recognized with latest Itunes. (everything has the latest updates). This is on WIndows 7. Just started today after getting latest Itunes Version.

    I am sure this has been addressed, but I will ask again, and then start sifting through prior posts.
    I have Windows 7, AirPort Express (First Generation), and the latest Itunes (11, I believe). All updates are current on the both the Itunes and AirPort Express. All of a sudden today, when wanting to play music off of Itunes (it does show that I have both outlets checked and in blue [my computer & airport]) after about a minute it displays a statement saying "The Network Connection Timed Out". And then finally plays on my computer. This just started today. It has always worked, and now, not sure what to do. I have unplugged and plugged back both the airport express and my router.
    Any help would be so much appreciated. This is truly why I hesitate to get the newest version of Itunes.  There always seems to be an issue. Anyway...HELP!
    David

    A bizarre update.
    Decided to use the XP VM to handle the iPhone and it was downloading the latest update when it failed.
    At that point Windows 7 iTunes popped up to say it had found an iPhone in recovery mode.  I let it try a restore which also failed (VM couldn't complete the restore either).
    Plugged the iPhone back in to my old PC to complete recovery and restore and then plugged it back in to the Windows 7 PC - which now can't see the iPhone!!
    So it detected it when in recovery mode but not when it was functioning normally.
    Are older versions of iTunes available to allow the backout of 10.4 which just seems so flaky on 64 bit Windows 7?

  • My ipod doesn't get recognized by my pc

    hi, for a longer time now, i've got several problems with my ipod nano, the first is, the ipod doesnt really start, it shows the apple logo and after that it turns off and restarts... and thats what it does all the time, until the battery is empty...
    and the second problem is, that, if i connect my ipod to my pc, it only charges the battery, but the pc doesnt really recognizes the ipod, because its still restarting all the time. i already tried to reset the ipod by switching the hold button and pressing menu and use.
    thank you already!

    Hi Chris.
    It's asking you for my apple id password. not going to give that out, sorry.
    However I did try this projector on my mother in laws iphone 4 and on my old iphone 3. ipico software isn't needed. plug and play any video through standard movie player or camera saved video.
    I tried on my girls iphone 5 with the adapter. The ipico software and projector doesn't work on this phone.
    Hope this helped you. Better to buy a used iphone 3 or 4 and use it for video storage.
    I also found that the battery on these projectors are a joke (30-60mins max). I rigged a longer lasting battery on the outside and keep it plugged in while using. This doesn't charge the phone though so I replaced the battery in the old iphone 3 and now get at least a full length movie from it. Great in bed projected onto the ceiling.

  • The search engine used to open selections in a new tab. Doesn't do that anymore. How do I get it back?

    I prefer Yahoo search. In previous versions of Firefox, the search engine would pull up the list of possible websites. Clicking on the link would open that website in a new page. It doesn't do that anymore. It simply opens the link forcing me to continually go back and forth instead of just being able to close the new tab if it's not what I'm looking for. How do I get the old way to work again?

    Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause

    My CD drive on my macbook doesn't read CDs anymore.  It only reads DVDs.  How can I get it to read CDs again?

    Is it readable in a Windows computer?  If not then you can try Disk Utility to repair the drive-- although that may be dangerous too.
    I haven't had this problem so I out of safe ideas.  There are ustilies out there.   I used the seach term "repair flash drive Mac OS X" to locate some of these.
    If the data is essential there are pay-for services to recover data looked the price was in the range $50 - $1000

    Not true. Select "Kind" as a sort category by right clicking the headings
    Then click to sort by Kind
    If your Import Settings are for Apple Lossless, AIFF, AAC or whatever the majority of your files are, convert MP3s to that file type.
    I've presently got 17,000+ files in my library, and they're ALL MP3 or M4B(Audiobooks). If they weren't when I got them, I converted them.  Saves a LOT of hassels with just this type of situation. Besides I have two non Apple MP3 players that WON'T work with other file types besides MP3 so, EVERYTHING I have has to be MP3.
