Mac Not Finding Audio Interface

Totally new to digital recording here. I've connected my audio interface (Presonus Firebox) to my iMac via firewire. The lights on the interface indicate they are in sync, but the iMac is not seeing the interface. It doesn't show up in GarageBand or elsewhere. Anyone have any suggestions of what I may be missing?

I change all the input/output/system preferences

My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface

2010 Imac 21.5 running 10.8.5. My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface. The local authorized Apple tech said that I need a new motherboard, but my firewire ext drive works perfectly. I don't understand. Thanks.

You must go to the website of the audio interface manufacturer and look for, download and install updated drivers for the audio device you are using.
This is not, neccessarily, an Apple issue.

Mac not picking up interface audio

Ok i've had this problem before and I'm not sure why it came back. I have tried plugging in my synth to the interface from the two outputs on the synth to the line ins on the interface and then USB to the Mac. I've also tried a bass and a mic (at separate times of course). The problem is that I can hear the audio from whatever instrument i'm playing by monitoring through the interface and GB recognizes the interface when it plugs in (Tascam US-122L) but the sound is not getting from the interface to GB for some reason. Input and Ouput settings on GB are set to US-122L. For the Mic and bass I set it to mono and turned monitor on and for the synth i turned it to stereo. No input signal whatsoever found on GB. What am I doing wrong?

It's set as a real instrument track. Both line outs from the synth are plugged in the line ins on the interface. Line levels are turned up. Switch is set to Mic/Line. Mon Mix knob is all the way to the right for computer (all the way to the left being Input). Plugging phones in to the interface allows me to hear the synth that way. USB light is on. GB recognizes the US-122L when I plug it in but no signal is coming through it all. Changed Output to built-in output and plugged phones in to the mac to see if I could hear anything. Nothing at all. US-122L is set to Input. The Sig/OL lights on the Tascam flash when I hit the keys on the synth. It should be noted that when I try to plug in a bass or a mic, the same thing happens.
So bottom line: audio is traveling from synth to interface, mac is picking up USB connection from interface, but audio is not going from interface to mac for some reason. Note that it's not just a matter of hearing the sound being played on GB, there's not even a signal showing up on the mixer for that selected real instrument track.

Bought two audition cs6 licenses one for pcs and one for mac, not finding any way to install on mac

I bought two audition cs6 licenses, one for our pcs and one for our macs...not finding any way to install on our macs...when I run the cd it only has programs for windows...nothing for mac...I have my mac serial number, but no install app...

If you don't have the Mac files with the disc you can probably still download the installation files and use your serial number from the purchase to activate. Here is a link to CS6 downloads:
Download CS6 products
You should check with Adobe support regarding getting the disc copy of the files if that is what you purchased, unless they know something that would result in the files already being in your possession thru that disc somehow.

I can not find audio books on itunes.

Can anyone help me please, I have purchased several Audio Books from itunes and now I want to sync them onto my iphone but i can not find them on itunes.

Sorry, but unless you're willing to pay for them again, you're out of luck unless the iTunes Store is willing to grant you an exception. As RG said, Apple has not been granted a license to allow redownloading of audiobooks. You can contact the iTunes Store here and ask:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
but don't be surprised if they say "no", and it may take a couple of days before you get a response at all other than the automated acknowledgement of your submission.
Good luck.

Can not find audio video file

I created a dvd proj. burned it to a disc. all worked very well. I copied the dvd. proj file to an external drive. Now when i access file i get an error message that it can not find two files. C audio and C video files.
Any suggestions?

It created the DVD proj file ok and I could play it through dvd player and burned it to a disc. The problem occurred when I copied and pasted it to an external drive. When I open the dvd proj file on the external drive I get an error message that it can not find the audio and video file. It is looking for the file on the hard drive and not the external drive. i deleted the original dvd proj file on the hard drive.

Since yesterday my Mac Book Air can not find audio output device anymore

My MBA is now 13 months old. Apple wants to charge me $170 to fix a defect that has over 50,000 users asking Why?
I have read the cable is the problem and have ordered a $29.00 cable to repair the issue. But why would Apple want users to suffer and risk the integrity of the MBA? Why not offer to fix the defect and keep customers happy? Or is this planned obsolescence? I for one am not a happy apple customer.

I could not worry about how long it would take the 5th Ave apple store to fix the defective cable. I spend $29.99 and $19.99 for shipping and replaced the cable. It WORKS. Changing the flex cable was medium hard and I was not sure I got it right until the sound came back.
WHat a shame Apple would not fix this issue. next machine I buy I am getting the apple care extension.

Media Encoder not finding "audio capture device"

Hi,
Im using Adobe Flash Media Encoder with Dxtory for Twitch streaming, and at first it worked fine. Recorded both my mic and game audio perfectly. Then seemingly suddenly, I fired it up and it wouldn't stream the game audio. It would my Mic, but thats it. I then unplugged the mic and it started saying I had no Audio Capture Device. I checked in Dxtory and its set up the same as it was when it was working. It picks up both the mic and speakers like it should. I have uninstalled this program multiple times, both 3.1 and 3.2 versions, and each time when I re-download it, it loads up the same profile I had before. So when I am uninstalling it, its not uninstalling everything for some reason. Even though the program is no where to be found after its uninstalled. I have downloaded xsplit, and it picks up the game audio and my mic. So its just this program. Anyone have any ideas? I cant seem to find anything online about this issue.
Thanks!

From where? PP sequence? PP bin? PP Source Monitor? Watch folder?

Mac not finding Itouch via Bluetooth

Hello:
Just received a new Itouch 3G. Itunes opened up when I plugged it into my Mac Mini. Synced, downloaded tunes.
I went into System Preferences, turned on Bluetooth. On and discoverable.
Went into settings on the Itouch, WiFi on, my network is found.
Went to add the device to the computer, and all I get is that no devices are found. Turned on and off the computer, turned on and off the Itouch. My computer has airport and bluetooth pan turned on. It can't find my Itouch. Any help?

The only BT profiles that the Touch supports are for BT stereo headphones (not the headsets you'd use for a cell phone), BT stereo speakers and peer to peer gaming.
The Touch doesn't support any type of file sharing or syncing over BT.
Best of luck.

"Can not find Audio or Video"

So I finished a movie on iMovie, and started a new iDVD project with it. After setting up the drop zones and finishing everything up, I previewed the movie and it seemed fine. So I saved the file on my external harddrive and closed it out (because I don't have a DVD burner on my iBook so I have to do it all on my friends Powerbook). When I tried to open it up again, it told me that it was missing the audio link and video link for the movie. I searched my original iMovie project and it found them, but everything now shows up as plain white. There is no sound or video at all.
I am also having a problem where I can't even watch the preview of my movie on iMovie. Everything is still there, but on preview it's all blank. Anybody know what's up with that?

Hi, I encountered the same problem of missing files when I tried to open an archived iDVD project. I do not remember now but I must have changed the name of the file.
Is there anyway I can open and view the project again! I do not have the orginal video clips. I am left only with this project which seemed to contain about 300 mb footage. Guide me on the possibility of opening and playing this project!!!

Lync 2013 client not finding audio device

I've got a problem with the Lync 2013 client on Windows 7 x64 Ent that's giving me a real headache, please help!
It's the 32-bit version (15.0.4535.1002) downloaded with Office 365 Pro Plus and it's refusing to pick up my USB headset/microphone - a Plantronics Blackwire C320-M. The message I get in Lync Tools|Audio Device is "We didn't find an audio device,
which you need for calling"
First and foremost, the device is working with the Lync 2010 64-bit client without issue
(I've not yet de-installed it) and is showing as working correctly in my Device Manager.
I'm aware of a few similar threads here and elsewhere where this has been seen, so I've tried the following advice:
1. Tried a different Headset (Plantronics C310-M)
2. Installed all MS Office 2013 updates
3. Reset all Generic USB and USB Root Hubs listed in Device Manager USB Controllers
4. Disabled "Allow the computer to turn of this device to save power" for each of the above USB Controllers
5. Uninstalled and reinstalled USB controllers above
6. Removed old/stale USB drivers using 3rd party tool (USBDView)
7. Multiple restarts of my HP Compaq Pro 6300 Micro Tower PC!
None of the above has made any difference. Any helpful suggestions very gratefully received!
Thanks
Paul

Update:
Whilst browsing through the Windows App Event Log, I found these two entries:

The following information was included with the event:

You need to set your CLASSPATH correctly.
Check Oracle demos and use runit.bat as an example.

Skype does not find audio card

Ok. I am stumped. Microphone tests perfectly with Windows. Speakers work perfectly. Yet, Skpe reports that it cannot find my audio card (yet sometimes, it does). Obviously there is some kind of fight between the software drivers that come with the X220 and Skpe.
Any solutions out there?.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Run System Update, and make sure all of your drivers are up to date (especially the Conexant audio driver). There was a fix in one of the versions.

Mac Mini and Audio Interface Hum

Hie Guys,
Whenever my mac mini connect to line 6 pod xt live via USB, it gives annoying hum that never goes away unless I touch the handlebar of the line 6 pod xt live or certain parts of my guitar. It is proven , when I unplug the usb the hum dissappears.
I suspect it is more to mac mini grounding issue but i cannot be certain. Tried some possible solution and yet to try using ground lift isolator and isolator transformer.
Appreciate is anyone can suggest some help here.
Thanks,

I am using:
the Apple wireless keyboard, which uses bluetooth
Microsoft Mouse 4000, which uses some 2.4GHz wireless transmission to a USB dongle
an iPhone USB sync cable
I will switch to a wired mouse and see if it subsides.
Thanks for that suggestion!
