HELP!!! MOTU 896HD suddenly not recognized!!!

I use Logic 8 with a MOTU 896HD. Set up and had a session last week, everything was smooth sailing. The next day, my computer wouldn't see the 896 at all. I have reinstalled the MOTU drivers and updated. I have even gone so far as to erase and reinstall my Mac OS and everything.
I've been on the phone with Mac, MOTU, and anyone else I can think of. I HAVE EVEN REPLACED THE MOTU, AND STILL NO RESULTS!!!
I am absolutely lost, and each day that goes by is a day that I'm losing income.
Can anyone help?!?!?

I have tried everything I can think of and no luck.
I've done the P-Ram reset as instructed by Apple as well. If you could share the method for resetting the Firewire bus, that would be great. I've already done a P-Ram reset with Apple on the phone and no results there either.
Maybe I'm missing a step, so any info, no matter how random will be greatly appreciated.

Would you read that and see if it sounds like something you're experiencing? If so maybe we can both scream for help on here at the same time, and get some answers!

Windows PC suddenly not recognizing iPhone. Recognizes another iPhone just fine. USB works until operating system in PC (XP) loads. Any clues out there?

Windows suddenly not recognizing iPhone, yet recognizes another iPhone fine (sees in iTunes, etc.) USB appears to be fine - passes electrical to iPhone until operating system (XP) boots, and then "disconnects". I've gone through all of Apples suggestions for troubleshooting - including msconfig. Same result - quick double "bong" tone and no connectivity to iTunes. Versions are all up-to-date.
Any suggestions out there?

How did you get the VMWare sync to work? I hate Apple at this point.

try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. The servers may still be having a hard time keeping up, so you may just need to wait a little while and try again.

Repeat request 4 help - iTunes 6.0 not recognizing purchased

I'm re-posting this question, hoping for help... thanks!
iTunes 6.0 software not recognizing purchased songs
( msg # 1.: Posted Oct 15, 05 9:14 pm )
Good Evening,
I had written for help before, but couldn't get the 5.0.1 problem resolved. There was great advice (bnoir, et al), but lack of time and frustration played a factor.
So I hear Itunes 6.0 is out and I figure it's a fix to the problems people had with the previous version. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
I run iTunes on a Windows XP platform on an IBM computer (from the Dell people). I have a 3rd generation iPod, which has 20 gigs.
My iTunes shows that I have 5239 songs (some of which are short comedy bits) that I've never had a problem uploading to my iPod before the upgrades (5 and above). Here's what I've done to resolve this problem so far:
1) Uninstalled Quicktime
2) Turned off my spyware and virus programs
3) Downloaded the newest version of Quicktime (standalone application file)
4) Uninstalled iTunes 5.0.1 version
5) Restarted the computer
6) With spyware and virus off, installed quicktime, then iTunes 6.0 version
Everything seemed to be working well. I suddenly could play music on the newest version with my computer. It didn't freeze, I was thrilled.
HERE COMES THE PROBLEM:
Plugged in my iPod to do an update... haven't been able to do so since late August 2005. Got an error message that read
"Some of the songs in the iTunes music library were not copied to the iPod "Josette's iPod" because your iPod software is too old. Got to www.apple.com/ipod to get the latest iPod software update."
So now, instead of 5239 songs, my iPod only has 4858. It doesn't look like it downloaded any songs that I had purchased from the iTunes music store. That's 370 songs, none of which are showing. But theres a few more than that (do the math), but not many.
I did a screenshot of the error message, which I typed out above. I'd send you the shot, but I couldn't figure out how to attach it to this forum.
Any assistance would be appreciated. I'd love to hear these songs in my car! :-D
Thanks,
~ Josette ~

Don't know if it makes any difference, but the iTunes software won't let me get into change info in the MY ACCOUNTS area. Says I need to change the computer date to sync up automatically with the internet. I checked the setting, and it does, so that can't be the problem.
It also says to check the computer's ability to accept cookies. From the internet tools menu, I can see that I'm on Medium security level, and that's not changed since I had iTunes originally.
I emailed this question to APPLE earlier this evening, but the reply said it would take around 72 hours to answer.
Don't know if that's related or not... but it's worth adding to the pot.
Is it worth going back and uploading an OLD version of iTunes? Maybe the 4.? version? (Not that I'd know where to find that, but it's worth asking).
Bnoir, anyone?
THanks a bunch!

USB suddenly not recognizing devices

Hello,
I have a problem.
My MacBook Pro suddenly stopped recognizing usb devices. This morning everything was working fine, but for some reason a couple of hours later it's not working anymore.
I can connect my phone via usb and it's reloading the battery. I can't get into my files though, while I was able to do that this morning.
My MaKey MaKey also gets power and the lights flash. I can use it to play an online game. It isn't being recognized as an usb device though, and I can't upload new code to it.
I haven't changed anything between the point it was working and the point it is not working anymore.
The only change is that I've tried to connect my MaKey MaKey and upload code to it. But that didn't work, because it said there was nothing connected to my usb port. That's how I found out that it was broken.
I have tried resetting my PRAM and SMC but it both didn't help.

Thanks for your answer.
I already tried the things listed in the link you sent, but unfortunately they didn't work.
However, a few hours after I posted my question things started working again. I can connect my phone again, and the MaKey MaKey shows up in the USB list if you go to About this Mac. Still can't upload anything to it though.
But I guess my problem is solved.

External Hard Drive suddenly not recognized

I have a WD 500GB external hard drive that I use to back up my data. I only have one hard drive as I'm currently living abroad and couldn't bring a 2nd with me.
I plugged in my external last night to back up my MacBook Pro and it backed everything up. I even went into Time Machine to go back and restore a file or two and that worked without problem. I have been using this drive for about a year to back up everything on my Mac and, although sensitive, it seems to work okay.
I plugged it in this morning and nothing. My Mac will not recognize that the drive is not plugged in in Time Machine or in Finder. If I go to Apple Logo > About This Mac > More Info... > Storage tab, it just shows my internal hard drive and my CD/DVD drive. If I click on Disk Utility with the drive plugged in, it shows my Hard Drive (Macintosh HD) with two icons, one inset below the other and both in black font, and then my external hard drive has two underneath, but only the top one is black font - the one underneath is greyed out.
It goes like this:
250.06 GB Hitachi...
     Macintosh HD
500.08 GB WD My Passport
     Time Machine Backups (greyed out)
Superdrive (greyed out)
When I clicked on the 500GB one and told it to repair/verify it said the disk was working fine. I tried unplugging and replugging in the drive (it is not recognized in Finder so I could not properly eject the disk). I restarted my Mac with it unplugged and plugged it in afterward and nothing.
The HD itself is working, the light is blinking (not solid) and I can feel the hard drive spinning, but I'm at a loss as to what to do to get my Mac to recognize it again.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you!

I also wanted to add, when I click on the greyed out Time Machine hard drive that's listed and then click "Info", this is what it says:

HELP!! Device not recognized on an ACER TABLET

?alright, im running windows xp tablet edition in an acer tablet. i have a nomad jukebox zen xtra 40 gb. my mp3 player works at my home computer?(im in college right now, so the computer at home isnt helping much). i installed the drivers from the cd, then?updated the drivers, and software, and my mp3 player is not being?recognized by the computer. its not the software i dont think because the actual pc itself is not recognizing the device. i dont know what to do, im at a loss here. no matter what i've done, the computer just will not recognize the mp3 player. reading through the posts it sounds like creative and acers/tablets don't get along too well. great.. if anyone has any thoughts please please post so i can get to the bottom of this and start using my mp3 player again!!

What's the current firmware version that's in the player? To check this, go to the player settings, information. Also, when the player is connected to the computer, open up device manager and see if there's any error and whether the player is properly registered.

Computer suddenly not recognizing device

My computer is not recognizing my iPhone 5 when I plug it in to transfer purchases and update. I have had the phone for awhile and it was working just fine.

Great! It's not the first thing you think of, but my philosophy is "when in doubt, reboot." What probably happened is the AppleMobileDeviceService crashed. This is the easiest way to restart it.

Z2 suddenly Not recognizing the SIM and no signal.

When I'm using data for straight for like 2 or 3 hours, the phone suddenly stops recognizing the SIM and it shows no coverage. I have to restart the phone all the time :/

For hardware issues you think you may have you are best to either return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care and have it inspected http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

MuVo TX suddenly not recogni

Hello All I'm hoping someone here has an idea. I just tried by MuVo Tx Fm on my WindowsXP computer for the first time after loading the latest drivers. XP deli'vers a message saying the USB device has failed and is nto recognized. When I click on the message, it says no drivers are installed (when I insert my old MuVo CD, . I get a message saying a newer version of the driver is installed,and it terminates) I then plugged it into my Win98 comptuer (the one I've been using with it), and the players does not show up in device manager. The player IS working. I can listen to anything that's already loaded. When I plug it into either computer, I see the connection image on the player LCD screen , although the screen is NOT lit up. Since the player is not recognized by either computer, I cannot upload files (music or otherwise).Any ideas Thanks. Anthony Giorgianni

I got mine woking. This what I did.
First I did not followed the recovery instructions.
If you installed the Device Recovery Mode drivers uninstal and reboot pc.
I did downloaded the MStorage_PCDRV_LB__07_00_250.exe (link is in recovery sticky) just to have the latest drivers.
Plug the MuVo TX FM to your pc usb.
When the install wizards appears do nothing.
Unplug MuVo.
Close wizard.
Plug MuVo again to your pc usb.
Run the firmware update (Go to download section to get it). Gi've it a minute (more or less).
The upgrade process will do something, I don't know what it is that recognizes the Muvo (The Muvo turns on).
Follow instruction on screen.
BTW your Muvo will be formated, keep this in mind if you have important info in it.
I hope this hel
ps.
I went thru a lot of trial and error so I may have missed a step.Message Edited by jibaro009 on 0-09-2006 06:22 PM

Windows suddenly not recognizing iPod Shuffle - drive letter conflict

If you're having troubles with your PC not recognizing your Shuffle even though it used to recognize it in the past, this is just something else to consider (sorry if it's already been covered):
When I originally connected my Shuffle to my laptop on my home network, it was recognized immediately, and my WinXP OS assigned it the drive letter "I". Later, with the Shuffle no longer connected to the laptop, I was setting up my home network, and I mapped one of my shared network locations to the "I" drive letter on my laptop. The next time I plugged my Shuffle in, Windows would not recognize it. I proceeded to plug it into both of the other computers on my home network, and it was recognized immediately on both of them. So I then went back to the original laptop, disconnected the network drive mapping I had set up for "I". Once I did that, when I plugged my Shuffle back in, the Shuffle was again being recognized immediately (not surprisingly, still as drive letter "I"). In short, Windows has a memory of drive mappings made in the past, and sometimes this can produce unexpected or unwanted behavior (I would have expected my Shuffle to automatically be assigned the next open drive letter, but alas, that was not the case in my experience).
To minimize the possibility of running into this problem again (in case I do more network drive mapping in the future), I used the Disk Management utility in WinXP to change/force the Shuffle's drive letter on my laptop to be "Z" (right click on My Computer and choose Manage, then look for the Disk Management module - you probably will need Admin rights to do this, but I haven't confirmed that).
PC Windows XP Pro

Had this happening too, had a very old cable, tried a new cable and it worked great. My ipod was showing up in itunes, but not in windows (or in device manager). When I tried to use the utility to copy files from my ipod to my hard drive I couldn't do it (wonderful utility getsharepod.com). The new cable solved the problem!
