Garageband on Macbook not recognising Tascam US 122

I've downloaded the latest drivers from Tascam and connected the US122 to my intel macbook. The US122 is recognised as a USB device as all the lights are showing and phantom power ia available. In Garageband preferences however it doesn't show in the list of input devices.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Dick

I had a similiar issue and I don't totally remember how I solved it. I hate to say it (bc it's probably been done and they always start out this way on the phone), but:
make sure to restart
try another usb cable
if you are plugged into a hub, try a direct connection to the mac
there was also a note in the install to disconnect the US122 before you go through the install process. I didn't see that the first time through. I don't recall if that was the piece that fixed it. There seem to be a lot of people in forums all over the place that are having diff problems with this interface.
best of luck.
cheers

Garageband Not Recognizing Tascam US-122

I am trying to use my Tascam US-122 in Garageband. My computer is recognizing the interface and I have the input and output set as Tascam in Garageband and in system preferences. The interface is reading a signal from the microphone but there is no signal being detected in the Garageband track. Is there something that I am missing?
I am running Lion OSX

Disabled iPhone 5 (iOS7) / Not able to restore / Macbook not recognising it

Hi there,
I'm new to this website so please bear with me! This is my problem:
One night my hilarious friends were messing around with my iPhone 5, specifically the passcode. To cut a long story short, my iPhone was disabled.
I've spent the last two days trying to restore it.
Firstly, I followed instructions online to enter into Recovery mode. This seemed to work as there appeared an iTunes logo and a white cable image with an arrow above it onscreen. However, my macbook did not recognise the phone whatsoever - completely ignored it, on iTunes or Finder.
After trying multiple combinations based on several different forums of home button+sleep switch holding/letting go/putting in cable for an hour or two, I took it into my local iStore. The guy in there had it for 3 hours but said he couldn't do anything with it, and he suggested I send it off to Apple. His collegue then suggested I try plugging it into a non-mac computer, e.g. a Windows system.
When I got back I plugged it into my grandma's latptop running Vista. I updated iTunes and plugged in the phone. This time iTunes recognized the iPhone. It said "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode" and gave me the option to "Restore".
(this is good point to point out I backed up my iPhone a few weeks ago, so don't really care if everything is completely wiped... a new system is quite refreshing anyway.)
I clicked "restore" and it began... took 10 mins, then gave me an error message. I went online and realised I needed to download some up-to-date firmware (which I did).
I clicked "restore" + Shift and selected a firmware file... didn't work. Did it again with a different firmware file... didn't work. I looked into the kind of files I needed, whether I should sign out of my iTunes account while it was restoring..... nothing worked.
To cut a long story short, I feel like I'm at the end of my tether. I've tried a lot of things and this is where I'm at, simply put:
Macbook won't recognise the iPhone, but Windows does.
Windows has problems in the last 30 seconds restoring the phone.
The iPhone is stuck between the apple logo and the iTunes/cable screen, not even going back to the "iPhone has been disabled" home screen.
Throughout all of my tests, my software has all been up-to-date. It's the first thing I check.
Basically I'm between a rock and a hard place: I can't use my iPhone, but I can't restore it either.
I've already talked with my service provider and (see above) taken the phone into the iStore, neither of which could help.
Is there anyone out there who has experienced this and / or able to help?
Thanks,
George

When you say iStore, does that mean an Apple retail store?

Macbook not recognising ipod

I have a Macbook operating OS X and Windows Vista via Boot Camp.
When I connect my ipod via USB the OS X does not recognise the connection in either Finder or iTunes. However, when I am in Vista I can see the ipod as an external drive in Windows Explorer.
This is a problem as I have all my iTunes songs and podcasts in OS X and want to sync my ipod! I do not have iTunes loaded in Vista and only use my ipod in Windows as a hard drive to transfer files.
Can anyone give me some suggestions on what to try to solve the problem?

Try manually reinstalling the latest version of iTunes.

Macbook not recognising receiver

Hi folks,
I'm using a MiniDisplay to HDMI cable, to try to connect my MBP to my Denon Home Theatre Receiver.
I'm connecting the cable to the Thunderbolt connection on the MBP, and Blu-ray input on the HT receiver.
The Mac is not recognising the receiver as a display, nor an audio output.
When I use the same cord to connect the MBP to HDMI input on my plasma TV, it works fine. So that eliminates the cord as being the problem.
Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem. LaCie has been no help saying that they will give me a discount if I want to buy a new one.
The drive just doesn't appear in the Finder and the drive doesn't spin up like usual.

Bootcamp on Macbook Not Recognising 4GB RAM?

Am running Windows XP on my Macbook with 4GB RAM, and I don't think that Windows is recognising that there is 4GB available. I wouldn't have thought there should be a setting for this, but I could be wrong? When I check my properties in My Computer, it tells me that I have 2.72 GB of RAM; same when I open up my antivirus software.

Hi to you both and a warm welcome to Discussions,
sounds like you are both using the 32-bit editions of XP/Vista.
While theretically the 32bit Windows can use the full 4GB RAM, in practise only about 3GB are indeed useable. The rest is taken by Windows itself and the hardware reserves some adress ranges of the RAM as well.
Not to forget the 256MB RAM that are used by the 9400 graphics chip (called shared memory).
ETX: Don't get fooled by Microsoft and the Vista SP1. You can still only use the RAm amount Vista reported before applying the SP1.
Microsoft has simply changed what Vista reports from 'useable RAM' to 'Installed RAM'.
Just a marketing trick.
Hope it helps
Stefan

Macbook Not Recognising new Hard Drive.

Hello!
Macbook White 2006 Model. I replaced the original 60GB hard drive in 2008 for a 320GB HardDrive.
The 320GB failed two weeks ago and I have bought a replacement (Samsung HM641JI - 640GB).
When I install the new hard drive and boot using the Snow Leopard install DVD the macbook won't recongise the new hard drive as a location (I've tried new install and back up from time machine).
When I install the original 60GB hard drive the macbook boots no problem. I am using it to post this message.
Any ideas why it won't recognise the new drive?

Hi,
mots likely the new harddisk came preformated for use with Windows or even completely unformated.
In that case you cannot install OSX on it before 'preparing' the harddisk with Disk Utility.
After booting from the OSX install DVD Disk Utility can be found in the 'Utilities' in the Top Menu.
Run Disk Utility
In the left pane of it click on the internal harddisk (not any partitions on that harddisk)
In the right pane click on the Partition-Tab
Set it to one partition
Use 'MacOS Extended (Journaled)' as file system
click on the Options-button and set GPT (GUID Partition Table) as Partition scheme
Start the partitioning.
After that is done quit Disk Utility and you should be able to install OSX on the new harddisk.
Regards
Stefan

Help needed - Macbook not recognising built-in iSight

Hi,
I have had my Macbook for 4 years and had no problems with the built-in iSight until today. I tried a Skype call and realised the green light wasn't showing. I looked in all files to see if the computer recognised it was there and - nothing! It would appear it has 'disappeared'!
I have tried the KB article stuff 2090 but it doesn't make any difference....
I am by no means any kind of computer genius and am totally stuck. If anyone could help that would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Gemma.

Macbook not recognising optical drive

i thought it was something else but its just nt recognising it. i went into info about the mac and disc burning info, it says no burning device was found...

reset the SMC, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
reset nvram, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If that doesn't work. it is possible that it's just a software issue.
If the drive will inject media you can try inserting the disk, and then rebooting while holding down the "c" key. this will tell your computer to boot off of the disk drive. You would need to use the Mac OS X Install disk that came with the computer. If it dose boot to the disk, then you know it's just a software issue.
If you book an appointment for the genius bar at an apple store they would test every thing listed above for you. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
Just make sure to back up before the appointment.

Garageband not working with tascam us-122

hi,
i try to use my tascam us-122 on my macbook pro (intel) with the latest tascam driver 3.4.0 (universal binary released in april 2006) with garageband
but even a simple playback of a simple song only works for lets say five seconds, than its game over
neither apple or tascam responds to my e-mails en the support desk of apple in holland has not got a clue
anyone who can help me, what should i do next?

Hi Perry Winkel,
I just got the US-122L today and my imac a couple of weeks ago. Im trying to record my keyboard (Korg TR) into garageband. Im am extremely new to this but I have tried everything that the manuals are telling me but when I try to record a 'real instrument' and turn my moniter to 'on' - all I hear is this weird sound, similar to the screaching of a microphone.
1) I installed all the software from my keyboard and from the US-122L
2) I have a MIDI chord going from the 'out' on my keyboard to the 'in' on my US-122L.
3) My USB cable is connected to the back of my IMAC - not on the keyboard.
4) I went into applications/utilities/audio midi setup and I switched my 'default input' and my 'properties' to the US-122L. Im not sure if I was supposed to do that but I have been on this for over 5 hours now and I am trying anything.
Can you help me?!
Can ANYONE help me?!?!

Tascam US-122 on latest MacBook Pro and Garageband

While i know there are many threads out there on this topic, i have a new one...i think-
I have installed drivers for the Tascam US 122 preamp device on my new MacBook and set the hardware preferences and the audio preferences in GBand. Contrary to other threads, it IS being recognized...but...when attempting to record, I am not getting any sound to register in GBand.
I feel like i am close to making this US 122 work...but need help. otherwise i will put it up for sale and look for a new device more compatible with this later macbook.

set {...} the audio preferences in GBand.
what else have you done?

I've purchased the new i7 quad core macbook pro and the us-428 tascam is not recognised by logic. What can I do? Please advise

Hello there. I've purcahsed the new i7 macbook pro quad core and the us-428 tascam is not recognised by logic.
I try to open audio/midi setup but it doesn't give me the option to choose the us-428 tascam. Does anybody know if there is a new driver for this i7 quadcore machines for the us-428 tascams? Please advise

The hardware has been discontinued... the last driver is from 2007.
Go here.
http://tascam.com/product/us-428/downloads/
Get the 3.40 driver, unplug the 428 from the mac, reinstall the driver (over the top of the other one). Reboot the Mac, after it's settled give it a minute.... then plug the US-428 in.
I don't hold much hope of the driver being SL compatible but it's worth a shot.
Just be sure the unit is unplugged when you install the driver.

Tascam US-122 MK II not working with Mac Mini

This seems to be a common issue for many people for many years, but I have not found anyone with this exact problem...:
I am using the Tascam US-122 MK II audio interface with my Mac Mini (latest model). I have connected everything correctly, have installed the correct drive (first from the provided disk, then when that didnt work, from the web).
The device is powered and seems to be working. I can see in System Preferences that the mini picks up the signal coming from the US-122 ( a guitar ).
I have then attempted to use it with GarageBand. I have set the input to pick up the US-122. But there is no sound. Garageband registers no input at all, there is no sound at all, and there is also no out sound from the phones on the device. Having checked with Tascam, the problem doesnt seem to lie with the device.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Could it be that I have to reboot in 32 bit? I don't see why this should be the case.... Thanks!

Thanks. This doesnt seem to have helped, but has made me notice something.
In Audio MIDI Set Up under Audio Devices, I am not able to select the US-122 MKII for sound input: that field is not highlighted. I can only select for sound output, which is of no use...! I have absolutely no idea why, even though it recognises the device, it will not allow me to select it for sound input. Any ideas? Thanks again.
