HT4167 why won't my firewire port recognise my PreSonus Firebox

Logic on my old macbook has decided to stop recognising my presonus firebox, even after all the latest drivers etc have been added. It just isn't showing up as an input or output option, yet is still lit up by the firewire cable....help!

The Shuffle doesn't offer audio output through USB. It only has the four conductors needed for either USB (charge and sync) *or* headphone audio+controls, and can't do both functions at the same time. You would need a Nano, Classic or Touch (with a lightning port or dock connector) to get that feature.
Or, if your stereo also offers an AUX audio input, you could connect your Shuffle using an audio cable with e "headphone" plug at both ends. Note that this will not charge the iPod at all,

  • Why won't my FireWire HD partitions stay mounted on my desktop?

    Why won't my FireWire HD partitions stay mounted on my desktop? I recenly purchased a quad interface 500GB external HD from OWC (which is connected via FW800). I then partitioned it for TIME MACHINE, some room for a backup of my primary HD, and partitions for boot disks for LION, SNOW LEOPARD, & TIGER. All partitions seem to be OK as well as the backup I made of my primary HD (using SuperDuper). My Energy Saver prefs are set to sleep the display in 3 minutes and the Hard Drive in 15 minutes. I fried one of my processors on the old Quicksilver by setting the Hard Drive sleep to NEVER. Don't want to make that mistake again on this Mac Mini, but I'm afraid that it is these prefs that are causing the primary internal HD to sleep, and at the same time lose my new external HD. Mysteriously, I have a SimpleTech 160GB HD with two partitions connected via USB2.0 and these NEVER dissappear.
    Anyone have some helpful advice? It would be greatly appreciated.

    Well, it's now Sunday, around 11:00am. What I have discovered has nothing at all to do with Energy Saver prefs as I had previously suspected. This morning, after having unchecked the box that would "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible," I woke the computer and discovered that once again all partitions of my new external hard drive were no longer mounted. So I thought of trying something new.
    Because I believed it to be insignificant, I failed to mention that this hard drive has two FireWire 800 ports. One is connected directly to the Mac Mini, the other I used to daisy chain a connection to my iSight camera (FireWire 400) using a bilingual cable. I wondered if the daisy chain might be causing a problem somehow. Incidentally, the iSight camera launches iChat whenever I turn the new HD off and then on again. An action which has always caused the missing partitions to mount. iChat launches even if the aperture cover is closed (turns camera off). Note: connected this way the iSight camera has been working fine.
    So this is what I tried next. I simply unplugged the bilingual cord connecting my iSight camera. The first time the computer went to sleep, when I woke it again all the partitions were right where they should be. So I took the next step by once again checking the box next to "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible.” Now the Energy Saver prefs are once again set exactly the way they were before I bought this new drive. I left for church at 7:45 and returned around 11:00am. Again, when I woke the computer all partitions of the new drive were exactly where they should be.
    So, problem gone. But now how do I connect my iSight camera? And why is it causing all the partitions for the external drive to drop from the desktop every time the computer sleeps?
    I have a son in the Navy and use the iSight to video chat when he is overseas. Is there something obviously wrong about the way I had the iSight camera connected? I would certainly welcome any help or suggestions.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Why are the two firewire ports on the back of my iMac diffferent?

    I currently have an external hard drive plugged in to one firewire port. But I noticed that I cannot fit my iPod connector into the other firewire port.
    Why?
    Intel-Based iMac 24" Mac OS X (10.4.10)

    Look at this article iMac (Late 2006): External Ports and Connectors and go down to:
    "Two FireWire Ports"
    The iMac (24-inch) has one FireWire 400 port, and one FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) port, which supports transfer rates of 100, 200, 400, and 800 Mbps as a theoretical maximum load; actual rates may vary.
    If your External HD has a second firewire port on it, connect the firewire iPod there. If not I would pick-up a firewire hub to prevent having to plug and unplug cords.

  • Why won't the Thunderbolt port (Mini Display) on a 2011 MacBook Pro drive a DVI Display?

    I'm trying to use a MonoPrice 5106 Mini Display to DVI adapter and a DVI cable to drive an Acer H233H 23" HD display.  I'm driving it from the Thunderbolt Port (Mini Display) on a 2011 MacBook Pro.  It doesn't work.  I use a similar MonoPrice adapter (5311) to drive the HDMI input on this monitor from the Thunderbolt port and it works fine.
    I can drive the DVI input on the Acer display from an older iMac using a MonoPrice 4851 Mini-DVI to DVI adapter and this same DVI cable and it works just fine.
    So, why won't it work from the MacBook Pro?  Do I need the much more expensive Monoprice 6904 dual link DVI adapter ($69)?  Why isn't this mentioned in the MacBook Pro manual or on the MacBook Pro support page?  MonoPrice says this 5106 adapter should work and if not to try the more expensive 6904 adapter.  Need a better reason to buy the more expensive adapter.
    Help please.
    Thanks,
    Vee

    Just saw your question.  Just like it's Apple counterpart, the 5106 is not capable of higher resolutions.  You should, in theory, be able to drive your Acer display at lower resolutions with the 5106.  And the 5106 may be sufficient for a 23" monitor . . . you'd need to check the maximum resolution for each.
    But you definitely do need the 6904 for higher resolutions.  That's what 30" monitors and other high-res displays require.

  • Why won't my FireWire Solo work with the Mavericks OS?

    I have recently upgraded to the Mavericks OS (10.9.2) and now my FireWire Solo is not even recognized when I plug it in. Are the M-Audio products no longer compatible with the Mavericks OS? Somebody please help me out! Thanks!

    I had the garageband from 2010 and after I upgraded to Mavericks OS is stopped working. I thought it might be because I hadn't upgraded to the newest Garageband, so I went ahead and upgraded and it still doesn't work.
    Just to be clear, I now have Garageband 10.0.2 and it's not working.
    I believe the M-Audio FireWire Solo is 24-bit/96kHz. So you're saying I need to purchase a new interface? If so, that's a shame.
    Thanks for your help, though!

  • Why won't Adobe Digital Editions recognise my ereader?

    I am trying to transfer an ebook to my Sony PRS-T2N reader using Adobe Digital Editions. However, the program does not seem to be recognising my ereader. Since it supports pretty much all the Sony readers, I assume it should be able to recognise mine too. Any ideas on how I can get it to recognise my e-reader?
    Thanks!

  • Why won't the upgrade version recognise my current version and install?

    I am using Mac OS 10.6.8 and have had trouble opening pdf documents from other websites with Adobe Reader. They suggested I upgrade my Adobe Reader, which I have tried to do; have gone to 9.4.6, but when I try to update further to either 1011 or 1001 it will not open or recognise my current version and just closes, saying the installation failed and to contact the software manufacturer.  So this is what I have been trying to do, and need help!
    Can somebody tell me:  1.   what is the upgrade after 9.4.6?
                                                2.   are the version 10...s for the new Apple Lion OS?

    I do have the same message when I try to update iPhoto : "to update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it"
    I remember having signed to the mac app store with my mobileme account, and as my computer is new, I was asked to make GarageBand-iMovie-Iphoto solely available to any future updates for this computer and this apple ID ( As a matter of fact the iLife suite was bundled with the computer).
    Well, I have no other ID to give to apple besides this mobile me id, I wonder what is missing.

  • Why won't my LG TV recognise .avi files from my iMac?

    I record TV on my iMac using Elgato tuner and software, then export as .avi files and watch on TV (via a USB/thumb drive). But I cannot get the TV (an LG)  to recognise any such files that have been on a device that has been attached to my Mac. The only way it works is if I transfer the files to the USB drive, transfer the files from the drive to a Windows machine, then transfer them from the Windows machine to another USB drive, and then it works fine. I've tried all sorts of ways to solve this, including reformatting drives etc, but nothing apart from the above tedious process works. It seems as if there is something about Mac files or file structures that really throws the TV. Anyone have any ideas?

    Yes, definitely formatted for Windows (which it needs to be to transfer files to the Windows machine). Think it may have something to do with ds files, so am going to try FrenchToast's suggestion.

  • Why won't the DVD Player recognise the burned HD DVD?

    Can't find the answer and don't know where to start looking. (My Software Update is up to date.)
    I spent a (24/7) week compressing, building and burning 60 minutes (3.8GB) of HD-DVD on a DVD-R. The latter plays perfectly in my Mac, (DVD Player) but when I load it into the (Toshiba HD-E1KE) DVD player, the 'green' window starts off by saying: HD DVD, but then switches to saying: M55G and the on-screen caption says: NOT IN DVD FORMAT.
    I have checked and rechecked the DVD-Studio-Pro Disc Properties were set to Red Laser, Single Layer, One Side and 12 cm and (for my case) PAL and HD DVD.
    What am I missing? As you will appreciate, having sweated blood to get this far and for it to fall at the final hurdle is driving me NUTS!
    Mac Pro 2 x 3 GHz Dual Core, 3GB 667 MHz   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Well, you all asked how I got on and here it is...
    I am now here in California where I collared a "Genius" in an Apple Store who also knows this stuff. (I love those guys!)
    The bottom line (according to him and he SEEMS to know exacty what he is talking about) Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Compressor and Macs are INCAPABLE of producing an HD DVD, notwithstanding the very strong suggestion to the contrary by Apple in their product information.
    He says that no Apple currently contains the required appraratus to even burn a DVD in HD, assuming you got that far in the editing, formatting and compression.
    I am extremely displeased, as you can imagine, as I have spent a great deal of money and time on a project which (according to the Genius) never had a chance of working - on ANY Mac equipment. All you can do in FCP and DVDSP is produce and burn an SD DVD, so what's the blooming point of all that "HD" suffixing unless to hoodwink people into handing over large sums of money to Apple?
    I suppose there is a slim chance I might find an outfit somewhere in London who will take it all as a data file and burn it onto an HD DVD for me, although I do not as yet know where to look.
    Even if I CAN, it will cost me more money I never anticipated when I started all this and means I cannot produce this (or other such) work independently.
    Forgive me for saying so, but I do find the whole thing close to dishonest, as such a major shortcoming ought to have been made crystal clear on the BOX, let alone within the verbose and often repetitive manuals weighty enough to half fill the Library of Congress!
    Is it me?
    I have to say that it appears there is nobody anywhere who has managed to burn an HD DVD using this gear, so it looks like the end of the road for the stated reason.
    If anybody knows of a way of getting it burned professionally somewhere in England without costing silly money, it might save my project.
    End of rant!!!

  • 10.4.9 and firewire port

    Can someone explain to me why you need a firewire port to run the 10.4.9?

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Actually you don't really. It was just an easy way for Apple to demarcate between Macs they felt were suitable for running Tiger and those only good for Panther. This fell at the iBook G3 366 which is the lowest Mac that can officially run Tiger. There are numerous features that make use of the Firewire port such as Migration Assistant.
    My experience is that Tiger on a 400MHz iMac / 466MHz iBook is that it's a little sluggish but you can fudge an older Mac to run Tiger with XPostFacto (link). I suppose it may be worth it is you wish to run the latest version of iTunes for a new iPod etc.

  • Firewire port on Macpro won't work with my Sony DV Cam

    I just got my Macpro and love it-but I do have a small problem that maybe somebody can help with.
    I have a Sony PD100A. I was using this camera on my PC just up until last week and grabbing video via firewire into Premier. It all worked fine.
    On my Mac, I plug into a firewire port, and neither iMovie or FCpro can capture from the camera. I seems to recognize the camera, but when you try to capure video, it just locks up.
    I also have a firewire hard drive that I'm using to tranfer data from my PC to the Mac-it works just fine. Which leads me to believe somehow the camera isn't working with the Mac.
    HOWEVER-I use a Digidesign Digi 002 rack attached to a firewire port on the back. The 002 has a passthrough firewire port on the back, so I hooked up the camera. Lo and behold, the Capture now works. But only by going through the 002.
    I'd really like to be able to capture video by just plugging my camera inot the fron Firewire posts after I shoot some tape.
    Does anybody have an idea why the front or rear firewire ports won't control or capture from my camera directly?
    Thanks in advance for any help with this.

    A couple of things to try…
    1) Open a new user account and see if it works there
    2) Reset PRAM and NVRAM…
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    3) Reset the System Management Controller…
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304123
    4) Try your other Firewire ports
    5) Boot off another drive and see if it's your software rather than possibly hardware

  • Why would the Firewire Port and/or External DVD-RW suddenly not work?

    Hi, it's me again. I swear, I must be destined to just use Windows machines...
    Anyways, I have a used/refurbished iBook G3 500MHz 320MB RAM Dual USB (1 Firewire)laptop running OS 10.2.8 that I bought a few months ago. I went and purchased an external Firewire/USB 2.0 DVD-RW drive as I only had a CD-ROM drive on my machine and I wanted the option to burn CD's or watch/read data from DVD's (I know that with my slow processor writing DVD's -other than data- would be a stretch and have other machines to do that with anyways so it wasn't a concern really). I received it and installed it, also installed the free version of Toast that came with it, and the drive worked fine. I have not needed to use the drive since then and have not used the laptop much at all since then really, but I do need to say that I did end up adding a new user account, though I can't remember if I changed the original Admin account and then still have the one I created myself when I first started the laptop after I bought it (had a fresh install of Jaguar on it, but I have no disk to re-install with if needed) or if I created a separate (new) account and ended up deleting the Original Admin accout (I know in Windows, you cannot delete the original Admin account but I do not know if that is the same for OSX or not). I did this as I wanted a master Admin account that I just wouldn't really use and then wanted the other as my main account (and use it to connect to my home windows network) and for some reason it would not let me put a check in the box to allow that account to do so (from either Apple or my user accounts) and so I know that my main user account now is set up to allow it (was it the old Apple user account or a new one, I can't remember- sorry).
    Ok, so that is the back story to my problem, which happens to be this:
    I just bought a new chip of RAM (512MB to make it a machine with 576MB RAM total) and as I had been looking at getting OSX Tiger (but didn't want to do it without the extra ram and had been considering Panther instead as well), I thought it was necessary if I wanted to not bog down my machine. I bought the Install Disks on DVD for Panther, as well as an upgrade disk (DVD again) for Tiger, therefore letting me use the External Firewire DVD-RW to install Panther, and if I liked I could go ahead and upgrade to Tiger (and if I didn't like it too much, or it slowed things down too much etc, then I could always go back to panther and have both available for future options). The extra RAM coming in handy here definitely.
    So I was going to install the RAM today, and decided to go ahead and test out the External DVD to make sure it could boot from it (before making any changes to my system) and then go and install the RAM, and after that, install Panther to start... But I plugged all the cords and cables in, used my laptop with AC power even, and I could not get the External to show up at all... (kinda like the very current post right below mine but for the G4- it worked before, but now the firewire External just does not show up).
    I only have USB 1.1 on this laptop obviously, and I don't even know if you could do a boot from an external with USB 2.0 if my laptop had it (the DVD player does). I was recommended to boot with an external firewire DVD or firewire to another machine with DVD capabilities to do the install. So my problem right now is getting slightly bigger, as of course, I can't seem to momentarily find the stuff that came with the External (spare USB cable to check and see if the laptop will recognize it at least with that and to show it is the firewire that is not working properly, or the disk that I used to install it -might have been only used to install Toast free version if it didn't need any drivers, but I don't know where that or the instructions for installation sheet currently is -- I am looking for it, but I have switched bedrooms just last week and I also seem to be missing a few other Windows laptop disks as well so there is a good chance that they are all together, I just need to figure out where, heh.)
    I am waiting currently before installing the memory, though if I don't get the External working tonight, I may go ahead and do it first as at least I will have more memory on my laptop then, until I can get other stuff functioning and be able to do the Panther install.
    But my main question is, is there something that would cause an installed external to suddenly not show up in OSX? Since I hadn't used it since that one day, and it was unplugged from the laptop itself, would that end up doing it, or more likely, the changing of the user accounts (though I have been trying to test it with different types of media and through both of my user account (which are both "admin" ones), though I do still have one of those being an account that was on there when the External DVD was first installed, so it really shouldn't have done this at all (one would think). So how big of a chance is it that the firewire has somehow gone dead and this is the main culprit to my wasting the past 4 hours on this???
    I am currently scavenging around for an extra USB cable to try and test the External that way and will post the results when I can... I love the look and idea of macs, now I have a mac and want to upgrade it even, but why is it that whenever I attempt to use it after having not used it for a bit (and try to make the iBook feel better by using it more as I am sure it feels sad and alone sitting on the shelf while my Windows Laptop gets more attention), or try to fix it when it can be made better (and therefore used more often), the mac (all macs really), just seem to get all pissy and cause problems and make me spend hours upon hours trying to get things to work again??? You have to admit it, I am "mac cursed"... sigh I can program in 4 or 5 computer languages and am very advanced at many tech things (the ones I am not as good at I am still usually Average or Medium skilled) so it makes me wonder why I have so many tech problems with Macs when they are supposed to be the "easy" OS to use...

    Actually, I think I have it all working now. After going back to the Plextor Website, I found out that the switch between the USB and 1394 ports only gets activated (switched over to the other) with you turn the device off first, move the switch and then turn it back on. I was sure that I had done this with the ibook, but maybe not as when I went back and did it with first the USB and then the Firewire cables, it did work. I definitely knew that I had not done this with the Windows laptop, the reason it would not have the USB work for me on it.
    but back to the iBook, I was confused as it was only showing up as a DVD-ROM (which I guess is what they do until you actually open up the burning software to then be able to burn to it), and it also had the wrong Model #, which after more research, showed that it was the Internal DVD drive model version (PX-708A) compared to the actual model version (PX-708UF) which is the USB/Firewire (External) model. The firmware was really out of date as well (from June 2004 I think, v1.06) and they had v1.12 from Spet/Oct 2006 available so I went to get that (which was a hassle). They had nice easy Windows self extractor/installer packs, and then the BIN files for use for all systems (Sun OS/ Mac OSX/ Mac OS/ Linux etc as well as usable for Windows), and those needed a special Firmware Updater Application which was OS specific. Only I had the hardest time trying to get the OSX one as it would send me to a FTP site and not give me any clues as to which file(s) I needed to get and the Mac OS version was just for older 9.2 or below versions and didn't want to install under the OS Classic mode.
    I ended up using my windows computer which made it easier to view with the FTP stuff as I have FireFTP in Firefox, and downloaded the files I thought I needed (to test out), and then realized my silliness, and just downloaded (as well) the Windows Auto Extractor/Installer as the Firmware is the same for all OS's, just the way to install/update it was different... So I hooked the DVD drive to my PC and updated the firmware, checked it out on here before moving it back to the ibook, where I checked that it still worked and had the new update version showing, which it did, and now I have my fully working and newly updated drive ready for the OSX installations... I had attempted to update my Jaguar system as well while online, but it had no new updates available (I guess those were all mostly Tiger updates that were just recently released).
    I am now off to install my additional RAM, and after checking that it all shows up correctly, I will go ahead and do the Panther Install (and test it out and see if I like it or not).
    For anyone that currently uses Panther on any mac, are there still any major problems I should know about before hand, or know about things that they have mostly fixed (like the issues with Firewire ports and External Drives that they had around the time Panther was first released for example)???
    Thanks to all that helped... I now know to attempt an "eject" of any external HD (which I do have one that I will setup to use after I get Panther on the ibook) or CD/DVD drive instead of just unplugging the USB/Firewire cable.
