MacBook Pro Retina 2013 connecting to Presonus mixer

I bought new MacBook Pro 13" late 2013 to use it with my mixer Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2
http://www.presonus.com/products/StudioLive-16.0.2
To connect computer Presonus has firewire S400 400mb/s connection.
MacBook has no firewire connection, but has Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter.
Before buying MacBook I checked if there is any issues connecting MacBook and Presonus and found none.
http://www.presonus.com/news/press_releases/PreSonus-FireWire-Interfaces-Compati ble-with-Apple-Thunderbolt-Adapter
Also I checked Presonus forum and everyone said that there is no problems.
To connect adapter and mixer I have used cable that came with mixer and I also bought Belkin firewire 800/400 cable.
Prsonus has program called Virtual StudioLive wich duplicates all mixers settings to computer.
Now to my problem. Everything seemed to work at first.
But then channel names just got lost in Virtual StudioLive time after time.
Then I send some music from my MacBook through the mixer and I found that there is two pauses to the connection before the channel names get erased from computer.
I also turned Virtual StudioLive off and these pauses still occured.
Have anyone smarter than me any ideas how to sort this problem?
Maybe the thunderbolt firewire adapter is not working propperly?
Maybe it is a hardware problem in MacBook?
Maybe it is a problem that my MacBook pro has Thunderbolt 2.0?

  • My MacBook Pro retina 2013 won't charge. I've checked all connections which are all ok. Little red light shows on magnetic plug, instead of usual green.

    My MacBook Pro retina 2013 won't charge. I've checked all connections which are all ok. Little red light shows on magnetic plug, instead of usual green.

    If you are seeing a Red LED, you may have a faulty MagSafe Adapter.
    I remember reading that the orange light is produced by a combination of a Red and Green LED. If that's the case, It seems that the adapter isn't lighting the green LED properly at that time.
    I would suggest you seek service with your nearest Genius Bar (Apple Retail Store) or Apple Authorised Service Provider as they have access to diagnostics which may assist in isolating any hardware issues you may be experiencing.
    Cheers.

  • MacBook Pro Retina 2013 stuck on boot every time after iPhone 5S is connected to it.

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina 2013 and I've noticed that every single time I connect the iPhone 5S to it at the next boot the Mac hangs.
    Booting in Safe Mode will eventually work (after about 20 minutes).
    I can reproduce this every single time with this combination. Any advice?

    You can try resetting the PRAM and SMC, but both of your devices are new. You can just make a Genius Bar appointment and let them figure it out.

  • Hello, I have a Macbook pro retina-2013.  About Mavericks I could set my 4K monitor via HDMI on 2560x1440.  This I can not get through at Yosemite. Can someone help me there?

    Hello, I have a macbook pro retina-2013.
    About Mavericks I could set my 4K monitor via HDMI on 2560x1440.
    This I can not get through at Yosemite. Can someone help me there?

    They really pushed that it would all work great! Has anyone had the same struggle? Are there any step-by-step instructions to get linked up?
    Call Verizon's wireless tech support & explain your problem to them.  They will provide "step-by-step" instructions over the phone. 
    Take notes too!
    TIP:  If you do call & don't want to go through all those darn promps, when you initially call, just don't say anything.  The automatic voice will then say,  "will connect you to a service rep."

  • MacBook Pro retina 2013 do not start and no light on the magsafe

    Hello
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina 2013 13' core i5 2.5 8gb ram
    My mac was open, connect to the sector with full power. I left it the time to lunch and when i came back maybe 2 hours after my mac was off, and no light on the magsafe.
    Impossible to start it.
    I tried the key sequence, nothing worked.
    I used the magsafe of a friend who have the same model, i had i green light for 10s before it turn slowly off. and nothing worked too.
    One of my neighbor on the same building, had the same problem at the same time, computer open (not a mac) and it turn off impossible to start it, he had to disconnect/reconnect the battery to solve the problem.
    May it be a power surge?
    Did i need to open it and disconnect the battery on the motherboard?
    Thank you for your help.

    A Few things to try if you haven't already:
    1. Try unplugging the charger from both the wall and from your MacBook Pro. Now, make sure the powerpoint the MacBook was connected to works by plugging it in any electrical appliance you have. After unplugging the test electrical appliance and verifying that everything is OK with the electrical source, wait a minute or two and just plug the charger back into your MacBook and the powerpoint.
    2. A possible problem could be a MagSafe port not working correctly. Look for any kind of debris inside the port that might prevent it from connecting the power adapter correctly to your MacBook. On the adapter, take a quick look at the DC connector for any type of debris and carefully check if any of the pins are missing, are bent, or stuck down.
    3. Try a quick restart. Just press CMD CTRL ALT EJECT For about 5 seconds.
    4. Try CMD, CTRL and POWER for about 5 seconds.
    5. If none of this works, my last suggestion is removing the battery connecters and power supplies ect and holding the power button for a few seconds and reconnecting everything.

  • Canopus ADVC110 to 15" macbook pro retina 2013 Model

    Hai All,
    How can i connect Canopus ADVC110 to 15" macbook pro retina 2013 Model

    Same doubt here,
    Theoretically you could use a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter from Apple.
    The remaining question is: will it provide enougth energy to power the ADVC110 unit?

  • I cannot get my Macbook Pro retina to connect to my BT Home hub.

    Hi,
    I cannot get my Macbook Pro Retina to connect to my BT homehub either wirelessly or through ethernet using the thunderbolt adaptor.  I know that this is a problem with my IP address as in Network Settings it tells me that
    'Thunderbolt Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet.'
    I know that my internet connection is fine as I can plug the ethernet cable back into my PC and it works fine.  Also, my phone and ipad connect wirelessly just fine.
    Bt have told me to contact Apple, but I can't get hold of Apple till tomorrow.
    Amyone know how to overcome this?
    I did also find my IP address and enter it manually, at which point netwrok settings showed my ethernet connection as green and connected, but it still wasn't working.
    Thanks

    Same for wifi.  I have put in my IP address manually for the wifi network and it has gone green and connects to the hub, but gives me an exclamation mark on the wifi bar and still doesnt connect to the internet.
    I am writing this whilst connected to the internet on the same laptop but connected to BTFON which is a really slow public network I have access to as a BT customer.

  • MacBook Pro Retina (2013) and Photoshop Elements 12 or Lightroom 5?

    I have moved to a new MacBook Pro Retina (2013) from my old Windows 7 PC. As an amateur photographer which is better - Photoshop Elements 12 or Lightroom 5?

    Lightroom is already optimized for the retina display and PSE12 looks superb on the Macbook pro R. You are never going to get a retina display much larger than 15 inches but once tried you would never wish to go back to other monitors. It’s not just photos; all Apple apps on the MBPr including web browsing are optimized.
    Large monitors can be great if you are soft proofing images for print enlargements or for editing and rendering video where the extra real estate is useful. So it comes down to need. In general, images appear sharper on smaller displays.  I upload most of my photos to my own website and Google Analytics tells me that a high proportion of my visitors are increasingly viewing on iPads, tablets and smartphones. For me that makes the MBPr ideal for my photo editing. It has far superior clarity compared with the excellent 27 inch Dell Ultra Sharp monitor on my desktop machine.
    The only caveat is that nobody really knows the life of flash storage. Some say four years when writing continuously to the SSD drive and less once you start moving from unused space to overwriting. For that reason I always try to write to an external hard drive or SDXC card; reserving the SSD, as far as possible for running the applications.
    I think we are getting a bit off-topic as the OP already has the MBPr and only needs to decide between PSE & LR or both.

  • 13" macbook pro retina 2013 problem: blank screen when waking up from standby

    I bought a 13" macbook pro retina 2013 about 3 months ago and it is for about a week or two that I encountered a problem: when I close the lid and open it after a while(or it goes to standby by not using it for some time and then I wake it up by pressing a button), sometimes it shows a blank dark screen(with mouse cursor) for about 15 seconds and then either the screen is turned off(and by pressing a key it shows the login screen) or it shows the normal login screen.

    I also have this problem, and now the
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M is not working at all
    I use gfxCardStatus for work on integrated card and i can't use other displays obviously, because all video outputs (HDMI & Thunderbolt) are taking their ways from discrete card (but working on other displays is my profession of audiovisual artist). My world guarranty is over now, new motherboard costs near 1500 $ and now i don't want what to do.Maybe reballing of videochip will help me, but i'm afraid that not autorised service in my country will kill my motherboard at all. This is my first mac & i have lost many time for take the money for buyng it. I have so much frustration.

  • MacBook Pro Retina Wont Connect back to Monitor

    Hey Everyone,
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina Early 2013 15in that is running OS X Yosemite - 10.10.2 - Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
    At Work for the past 1.5 years i have been connecting to a Dell Monitor via a DVI to HDMI Cable to use as my primary screen and have never had any issues. During the day I often present on the projector in the BoardRoom a Dell 4610X using a direct HDMI cable.
    The issue: Ever since I have updated my laptop to Yosemite, every time i connect my macbook to my monitor after its been connected to the projector it will no longer connect. The monitor will recognize that there is something connected but it wont show anything. Even if i try another display in the office the same thing happens. The issue will always resolve if i restart the computer.
    Recently I had an issue with the Logic Board and it was replaced by an Apple Certified repair shop. This issue was happening even before the logic board was replaced and it is still having the same issues now, so I don't believe its an hardware issue.
    Although this issue is not critical, its a nuisance to re-start my laptop each time i get back to my desk after a meeting in the boardroom...
    I would high appreciate some help on this!!
    Thanks in Advance

    Something else to check ..
    Open System Preferences > Network then select the Wi-Fi tab.
    Drag the school wi fi network name to the top of the list.
    You can open System Preferrences by clicking the System Preferences icon in your Dock
    Or click System Preferences from your Apple menu icon top left in your screen.
    Or, from your Applications folder.

  • MacBook Pro Retina Wireless Connection problem

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro Retina (late 2013) w AC wireless capability, and I have not been able to connect to my wireless network at work. Other computers, including my previous MacBook Pro (mid 2008) and my iPad 3 are able to connect to the work network without problems and I have no problems connecting my new MBP to my home or other networks. I have Windows 8 on a Boot Camp partition, and when my MBP is booted under windows, it still does not connect. My MBP is running OS X 10.9.4. My work wireless network uses a Linksys Wireless G Access Point model WAP54G v.2. Rebooting the router does not help. When my MBP tries to connect to the work wireless network, the status in Network Preferences says "Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.216.147 and will not be able to connect to the Internet."  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Jackso,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    For troubleshooting a self-assigned IP address, I would suggest reading over and using the following article as a reference and resource.
    Internet connection does not work with an IP address space of 169.254.xxx.xxx from ISP, router, or manual configuration

  • Can The MacBook Pro Retina (2013) daisy chain display?

    I have a 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 15" and a Dell U2713H, I would like to use the video-out via Display Port on my monitor to run another monitor. I know that Display port 1.2 supports daisy chain, as does my monitor, but I do not know what versions the MacBook Pro is using or fi this would work. I'm aware of all of my current options of connecting displays via HDMI & TB I'm getting by with those options now, but would really like to save a TB for a hub and or Drive.
    TNX in advance.
