MacBook Pro 1,1. OS X 10.6.8 Trying to connect an Edirol FA-101 via FireWire, Macbook not recognizing device.

Hello,
I'm trying to connect an Edirol FA-101 to my MacBook Pro. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Other fireWire devices and drives work on the port, but the Edirol is not showing up in Audio MIDI setup or anywhere. I've tried both DC power and Bus power on the Edirol. Did the SMC reset, flashed the PRAM. Reset Permissions in safe mode. Still nothing. The lights on the device show that it is on and connected, but in system profiler I get "Warning: Unable to list firewire devices."
Any ideas?
Josh

Hate to say it, but it sounds like the device has gone kaputt.

Macbook not recognizing USB ports from external monitor.

I have a Dell Monitor hooked up to the VGA port and have several items (printer, external hard drive) hooked into the ports on the Dell monitor. My Macbook is not recognizing the things that are plugged into the monitor.
These ports were working at one point but when I moved my setup and had to plug everything back in I can't get the USB ports on the monitor to work.
Along the same lines...I tried connecting the monitor to my laptop with a USB cable (female port from back of monitor to male port on Macbook) along with the VGA port. This did not fix the problem but I just wanted to know (had my laptop been recognizing the ports) if this was even necessary.
Since this setup has worked before I'm thinking it is something small that I am missing but any help would be appreciated.

MacBook not recognizing external hard drive

After months with no problem, my MacBook Pro is not recognizing my external hard drive (USB3.0) as my time machine backup. Yet, when I enter time machine, the backups appear.

Thank u! it worked

Really frustrating - Macbook not recognizing built-in ethernet cable

I am a college student who purchased the macbook one year ago
My macbook is not recognizing the ethernet cable plugged into it.
I thought it was the ethernet cable itself but I tested my roommate's cable and it wasn't also recognized (his computer's internet works fine)
This is frustrating because I am relying on the college wireless and the signal is flaky at best from my dorm
I am guessing that either some harddrive or software is messed up
Anyone can help me?
Do I have to go to the apple store? My warranty is expired and a very busy semester is about to start so I don't want to send it in for a long time

Have you used the MacBook in multiple locations in the dorm (on the same subnet)? If you connect through a mini-hub or -switch (rather than plugging directly into the Ethernet port provided by the school), the hub or switch may be holding on to the MacBook's MAC address even when the MacBook is disconnected. When you then plug in in another room, the school's networking equipment may think that the same MAC address (the same computer) is connected on two ports at once -- which just doesn't work. You may get an IP address, but be unable to do anything; or you may get a 169.x.x.x IP address. The school's networking folks can look at the network infrastructure equipment -- the big switches in the wiring closets -- to see if the MAC address is registered on multiple ports.
The best solution is to replace those bad min-hubs or mini-switches -- they shouldn't hang onto MAC addresses for computer that are no longer connected. But if that's not an option (or just to test the theory), unplug (power off) every hub or switch you have plugged into, and see if you can get online after powering them up again. You would have to power cycle the hub or switch every time you use one.
Another test is to try to connect somewhere else on campus, on a different subnet. If it also doesn't work on another subnet, the solution described above does not apply. There are other potential culprits, such as the subnet running out of IP addresses, rogue routers installed by other students, and needing to register for the school's network, misconfigured network settings, and of course, defective hardware. You might try starting up from the MacOS Installer disc and running the Network Utility to rule out misconfigured network settings.

Question re: MacBook not recognizing hard drive...

Question: When a MacBook is not recognizing it's hard drive, what are the basic steps one can take to fix?
Have been reading through the posts the past few hours, and do see information on this, but am wondering/hoping someone can simplify a bit for me? Am not very computer savvy...
Would so greatly appreciate any help

Boot from your Install DVD and go to Disk Utility and find the hard drive from there and repair it.
If DU can't find the HD then it's probably defective.

This is not necessarily 100% correct at the current time.
As Dropbox is encouraging people to set it up for automatic uploading of photos they gradually increment your space as you load more pictures for free at the current time.
You do start with a fixed 2 GB but if you upload photos you will be awarded more free space.
You can also open a free account with Flickr - you may have some upload limits per day but you can upload pictures there.

Firewire port not recognized on new MacBook Pro

I've been using time machine to backup my computer to a LaCie external drive and noticed that it hasn't done it for over two weeks. I can hear the drive when it's connected but it doesn't show up on my desktop. I plugged it into my old macbook and it worked fine. I'm using a new adapter made for this model of macbook pro — a firewire 800.
I need to use this computer for work and am hoping there is an upgrade that might fix it. I can't afford the time it will take at a mac store to fix this. Any advice?
thanks so much

dose the hard drive show up in system profiler or disk utility?
(apple menu, about this mac, more info button, USB from the left hand list.)
(dock, finder, menu bar, go menu, utilities, disk utilities)

Macbook not recognizing mini dvi to dvi adapter

Hi,
I have a 2011 macbook pro, i have been using the mini dvi to dvi adapter to connect to a dvi to hdmi cable into my tv. It has worked for the past 6 months since i have owned my mac but just recently nothing happens when i plug the adapter into my mac. My friend has the same setup and nothing happened either when i plugged his into my mac so im thinking it is something to do with the computer thunderbolt port? any suggestions? thanks.

Here is an Apple article on the subject of having no video on an external monitor. It's written about the Mac mini, but it applies equally to any other Mac.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301345
And here is another Apple article that is more generalized and with fewer suggestions, though it might be a good place to start from. Good luck.

Why is my macbook not recognizing iPhone 4s?

Hello. For some reason my Macbook has stopped recognizing my iPhone 4s. It doesn't appear in Finder when connected, nor does it appear in iTunes or iPhoto. This happened at pretty much the same time as I updated to the latest iTunes, so I'm thinking that may be the culprit somehow.
I have Macbook 4.1 running Snow Leopard. Software version 10.6.8.
I've tried using my connector cable with my iPhone on my flatmates Macbook Pro and everything was fine on that. I've tried my external HD in both USB ports, so they seem fine. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and that hasn't helped. I've tried resetting the phone whilst it's been plugged in (I haven't tried a factory reset - but I want to avoid this, especially as the phone is recognised on my flatmates Mac).
I've already tried everything on this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591 and this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747
Any more suggestions?

Ok, I've also tried something else now too: My flatmate let me check her iPod with my Macbook (and my cable) and it was recognized straight away. This just keeps getting stranger....

LOOK! I installed Lion but the firewire is NOT recognized on my Mac Pro!

I installed LION on my Mac Pro, 2009, 2x 2.26 8 core and BOOM! I could no longer use my studio which is run by a Tascam FW1884 DAW control. When I hooked it up to my macbook ALSO running 10.7, it worked fine! UGH! Then I called tech support and they said I have to go to Genius Bar, I aint got the time to drag my studio down there so I went back to Snow Leopard. Anyone else have this issue?

This is a communication problem.
Legendary.
Tascam FW 1884 users? - Gearslutz.com
A-B-C and you/me/us caught in the middle.
The number of times this happens makes it normal, so the right hand doesn't know what the left does.
There are huge labs, they don't need yours.
Adobe: well, Flash 10.3 wasn't working with the versions of Lion that we had to work with, so we publised "known issues" K.B. and now have a correction blog post.
Usually it is the reverse, something works, then breaks. Why? internal build changes.
Booting from Lion DVD will not work because of 3rd party hardware also.
F6 anyone? so I can load that SI 3132 driver for my PCIe SATA?

My built-in webcam is not working. Macbook not recognizing it?

Ive had no problems with my built in webcam before but for some reason today and yesterday my Built in Macbook camera is not showing.. No Green light and no camera? Skype, photobooth, Imovie, online sites, Ichat, Nothing Works with my camera, it says No camera Connected? Please help. Macbook 10.5.8 Version.

HI,
Go to the Apple icon menu and hold the ALT key down whilst doing so.
Select System Profiler (it changes when and if you hold the ALT key down)
IN the System Profiler open up the Hardware > USB option
Does this list the camera ?
If not then do a SMC/PMU reset (the model Specific bits are at the bottom)
If it does appear then Log in a different Mac User Account (You may need to create one in System Preferences > Accounts)
Do those same Apps "see" the camera now ?
