Mush/Audio Errors with MacMini (2012) connected via Firewire with Motu 828mk3

Hi,
just bought a Mac Mini (actual model) and wanted to connect my Motu 828 mk3 via Firewire for audio recording. BUT, via FW there are audio errors/mush (sounds like electrical mush) in all the audio outputs. Via USB its all o.k. ! The Motu works fine with an 2008 MacBook Pro on Firewire!
Has anyone the same problem with audio interfaces on macs using firewire, especially on the actual Mac mini? Is it a problem of the Mac (Mini) Firewire port?
The Mac Mini has installed the latest Motu drivers and the latest version of OS X Lion. The problem exists in all audio applications (Cubase, AudioDesk, Wavelab, even iTunes).
Thanks for your help/answers and best regards.

The problem stems from the Mac (in my case Mac Mini Server 2011).
Apparently, as I read in various forums looking for Mac and Logic, the new models of Mac Mini (2011) have lowered the voltage Firewire.
I have the same problem with my new Track-16.
I can only work fine with USB connection.
Either we change the computer model, or users of Mac Mini (2011) we can forget a Firewire connection powerful and efficient.
Only remains for me try to connect to an external HD Motu firewire 800 which is connected to the Mac Mini previously. I guess the external HD, to be powered via AC, will have enough voltage to the Motu.
Best regards.

Unfortunately apple has removed firewire support from current iPod models to save a few pennies. (firewire licensing is a pain)
There's no way to update your iPod over firewire, only charging is available.

not if you want to use your interface

does the iO 26 require a driver? check the Alesis web site to make sure you have the latest, if it does.
if not, the first suspect would be the cable, try another FW cable.
less likely is one of the FW ports, if you have another FW device you might see if it works on the Mac, for the interface you might need to visit a music store to test it

My Apple desktop computer, 2.4 GHz Intel duo core, OS 10.6.8, stopped recognizing the WD My Book connected via firewire. It works fine with the USB port so it's not the drive. Help please.

It can be the bridge. It could need firmware update. or the FW ports may be an issue. LaCie seemed to invent the phrase/tip 'resetting firewire ports' due to the issues with their drive cases.
You can try an SMC Reset.
So far I have avoided name-brand and tend to see them mentioned. Often with a new OS (though you are on 10.6.8, but when 10.6 came out there was a common complaint and thread of users: FW or USB worked but not the other interface).

How can i use my iPhone 4 and connect via bluetooth with my macpro

how can i use my iPhone 4 and connect via bluetooth with my macpro

The only way that you can connect your iPhone to the mac is to use it for a "Wi-fi hotspot" meaning that you can use the celluar connectivity of your phone to connect your computer to the interent.
Do you mean a MacBook Pro of the desktop MacPro?

Can't "find" other computer (running 10.4.11) connected via Firewire

I have a new MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.3 and tried to connect it via Firewire to our Mac Mini running OS 10.4.11, but it isn't working. I used to make a firewire network between the Mini and our PB G4 (both were running OS 10.4.11) all the time to transfer files back and forth. Now with the MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, I cannot get the MB Pro to "recognize" or "find" the Mini. The Mini is able to "mount" chosen volumes from the MacBook Pro, so it seems to work in that direction. (Although I have an issue with the Mini's permissions but that's a different issue.)
What I did:
Two computers connected via FireWire cord.
On the MB Pro (10.6.3), I went to System Preferences -> Network, clicked the padlock icon, entered my password, clicked the + button, from the pop-up menu, chose "FireWire" then clicked "Create."
Then I'm supposed to repeat those steps on the Mini, but OS 10.4.11 doesn't have the same set up. As I remember it, though, I went to the Mini's System Preferences, Network, Network Port Configurations FireWire is check marked "on" and at the top of the list. I go to a finder window sidebar, look at "network" area and find the MacBook Pro and click connect, and follow the instructions.
Mini connects and "sees" the MB Pro.
MB Pro is set up, but doesn't "see" the Mini.
What do I do?
Please note, the MB Pro has only Firewire 800, not 400, so I have an Adapter which plugs into the Firewire 800 port on the MB Pro, then plugs into the Firewire 400 cord, which is connected to the Mini. Could this be an issue or factor? Seems it wouldn't be since the Mini is able to "find" the MB Pro.

What am I missing?
As far as I know, the installing software still checks the "Library > Receipts" folder to read a history of which package updates have been installed rather than searching to see if the actual app is installed. Have you deleted the receipt ".pkg" files equal to or newer than the one you currently wish to install. However, remember this approach assumes that any "patches" applied in the ordinary upgrade process will not create a conflict within the embedded QT structure when reinstalling an older version--which may or may not be true here. (I.e., QT is no longer an independent application or software package but rather an integrated part of the operating system.) The safest approach is to re-install an older version of the entire OS and upgrade the system as it was meant to be updated to the level at which you wish to operate.

I saw this -http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashmediaencoder/FME_DeviceMatrix.pdf

I'm in the process of trying to get this information for a client. Even with a paid AppleCare agreement, the only answer I'm getting is "look in the forums" and "look on the developer site" (although I have to give credit to the Tier-1 rep who's trying to help me.) The impression I'm getting is that they consider an exact list of header names to be proprietary information for some reason, and are going to great pains to try not to give out the information, but also to not create ill will amongst their customers by explicitly saying "that's proprietary".

Ipod won't connect via firewire, only usb

My clickwheel ipod decided to stop connecting via firewire. I reset it, and the restored it, and reinstalled itunes. Nothing worked. I then took out the USB cable from the box (for the first time in almost 3 years) and it works perfectly.
While trying to connect via firewire, it either doesn't show up in itunes or updates about halfway through and then stops and says error -124.
Any ideas? thanks

When online via WiFi, Firefox repetedly attempts to connect via dialup, with error dialog box returning every 15 sec. or so.

At home, I use dial-up. When I'm visiting, or at certain stores, I use a Wi-Fi connection. When I'm on Wi-Fi, Firefox does not fully recognise it. It will, eventually, use the Wi-Fi connection, load pages, etc. But it keeps trying to dial in, even while connected via Wi-Fi! Closing the dialog boxes only works for a few seconds, then it tries again, and again, and again, and again... Arrgh!
N.B. Could this be Weatherfox connecting to update weather info using its own connection, rather than piggybacking on whatever Firefox is doing?

You can try to swap the order of the connections and place the Wi-Fi connection at the top to see how that works.

Printing problems with HP 1012 connected via Airport Extreme - resolved?

I originally posted on this issue in a long-running discussion on HP printer issues.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10109788#10109788
Problem: Upgraded iMac 10.4.11 to 10.6 Following upgrade everything seemed fine except that the HP 1012 connected via Airport Extreme was not responsive. The system knew the printer was there, had installed the proper driver for it.
Intermediate troubleshooting: I tried to use Airport Utility to check the AE. It timed-out when trying to retrieve the AE setup specifications. I tried to update the firmware (7.4.1 to 7.4.2); system timed-out after a very long several minute "search for new version of the firmware."
Apparent solution: (any of the following may have made the difference - sorry not to have been more systematic)
a. I turned off AP on the iMac.
b. I unplugged the AE base station for one minute+, then re-powered it.
c. I opened my MBP with 10.5.7. Started up Airport Utility.
d. I renamed the base station. Left all other settings alone.
e. I installed the 7.4.2 firmware upgrade.
f. I ran Preference Repairs on the iMac (though I had done this right after installation of 10.6)
g. I turned on AP on the iMac.
Result: Almost immediate connection to AP, printer quickly began printing several of the test documents that must have been waiting in queue.
Too early to tell if I will have any further problems if if it permanently fixed.
Thanks to the several messages in both Printer and Network categories that suggested one or more of the above steps.

I hooked up my wife's Deskjet 5150 to my mac via USB. Since the 5150 does not have a driver from HP to work in SL. I decided to us the generic Gutenprint v5.2.3. For the heck-of-it, I picked, HP Deskjet 5550-Gutenprint v5.2.3. It prints. and the utility works, BTW, I am low on black ink.
I also tried the other printer drivers labeled "any printer name"-Gutenprint v5.2.3. and they all worked with the 5150.
So now that I know that the 5150's will work via USB with SL, I will now upgrade the other two laptops in my house to SL.
How to:
Turn printer on.
open System pref/ printer-fax/ add printer
Select hp desktop 5100
(name: -- Change name if you want - I kept " hp deskjet 5100"
Location: Your computer
Print Using: open dropdown box, select printer software. Type in: " Gutenprint" or "deskjet". I picked the HP Deskjet 5550-gutenprint v5.2.3. but I do not think it matters as long as it is a -gutenprint v5.2.3 driver.
Select OK

IPhone 5S 8.0.2 doesn't connect via BT with MacBook Pro Retina

Hi,
I'm trying to connect my iPhone with my MBP Retina because I want to try Hand-off and Continuity. I connect them via BT, they exchange the code but after 2-3 sec both the devices lose the connection. It seems like they are unable to recognize each other.
Moreover, on my iPhone there is a list with old devices they I had connected. I want to delete one of them because I'm not using it anymore, but when I tap on the , the option "disconnect this device" is grey and not blue as usual.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

I solved both problems.
1) in order to use Handoff, you don't need to connect directly the devices. Just open the BT and connect them on the same Wifi
2) after the update to iOS 8.1 every useless things are gone.

Time Capsule not work with appletalk printers connected via ethernet?

I have seen no definitive answers to this problem posted here or on support forum. Some have suggested (but Apple refuses to confirm) that Time Capsule does not support AppleTalk devices (particularly printers) connected via Ethernet to Time Capsule. Even the "Genius Bar" guys can't tell you for sure, but this is what they suspect also.
I am a 25 year Macintosh user. I have conducted numerous experiments on this problem. What follows is my analysis and work around.
I have found no way to connect AppleTalk printers to Time Capsule by an Ethernet network connected to the back of the Time Capsule. It just doesn't work. Forget all the posts about what to try. Especially forget about resetting your printer settings. Waste of time. This leads me to conclude that those who suspect that Time Capsule does not support AppleTalk printers connected on an Ethernet network are absolutely correct. It is a hardware or software deficiency. I do not know why Apple won't just publish this in their technical specs. It would save us users a lot of time and frustration.
Now the work around. The only thing that I have found that will work is to set up an Airport Extreme to extend the wireless network created with the Time Capsule. Plug your ethernet network into the Airport Extreme, NOT into the Time Capsule. I presume (but have not tested) that this works with an Airport Express as well. I did this with my old Airport Extreme that I had left over after buying my new Time Capsule. Now the printers show up again and print fine.
Please let me know what your results are if you try this.

The problem is caused by an interaction between the Airport Extreme Update 2008-004 and the TC 7.3 firmware. I swapped out my TC for my AirPort Extreme (which sat on a shelf unused since I bought the TC). It has version 6.xx of the firmware. Immediately I could see my printer when I wirelessly connect with my MBPro and can print from it. I put the TC back and then did an Archive and Install of 7.5 on my MBPro. I did every software update except the Airport Extreme Update 2008-004. I could see my printer and print to it! After cloning my HD, I then applied the 2008-004 update to 7.5.5. That broke the wireless printing again! I tried TC firmware 7.3, 7.3.1, and 7.3.2 but not go. It is clear that my computer is trying to communicate with the printer (lots of flashing lights on my LAN switch) but no successful handshaking. I restored my hard drive from the clone and I now I can print again. Final word: if you want to print from a wireless computer connection to an AppleTalk printer connected to TC's LAN do not apply the 2008-004 update to your computer. Apple: please fix this problem.
