Presonus interfaces - do they work with the latest Macs?

A few months ago there was much discussion as to the causes of some F/W 400 interfaces not working with the latest F/W 800 only Maca. Something to do with a particular chipset, I believe. There's a firmware update on Presonus' website: can anyone tell me if this resolves the issue, and if so, should it be OK to run a firewire hard drive off the same port?
Many Thanks,
Richard Vernon.

I have the Inspire, and there doesn't seem to be a firmware update. The issue with the Firewire chipset exists, it doesn't send enough power to the Inspire so it won't sync with the computer. I can only get around it by daisy-chaining the Inspire through an externally powered FW harddisk (which I unmount as soon as the Inspire is synced).

  • Will a external Apple iSight work with the latest Mac Mini?

    with a firewire 400-800 if it will what software do i need to take pictures and videos.
    Many Thanks

    Will a external apple isight work with the latest mac mini.
    Yes (if the external iSight works.)
    External iSights are great webcams, but they are getting old (as consumer electronics go) and some have had pretty rough treatment. You can test yours using the suggestions from this page:
      http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
    I suggest you disconnect other Firewire devices until you get your external iSight working with your mini.
    If you do not already have an external iSight and are considering buying one now,
    a new webcam (with warranty) may be a better choice.
    Many available alternatives are listed here: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/

    Use one of the following ways to connect your FW400 external iSight to a FW800 Mac port:
    • To use the FW400 6pin-6pin cable that comes with iSight, you can use a 6pin-9pin adapter
      like one of these:
      http://tinyurl.com/ydsbb6m  (I use this one.)
      http://tinyurl.com/cgll7o
      http://www.sonnettech.com/product/fw_adapter.html
    • This Firewire 400-800 cable can work:
      http://store.apple.com/us/product/TP320LL/A (I use this one.)
    • Some report that this low-priced alternative cable works:
      http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812189097
    I suggest you disconnect other Firewire devices until you get external iSight working with your mini. Once iSight works when it is the only FW connected device, you can try connecting other Firewire devices to determine whehter you can use any of them without conflict.
    ... if it will what software do i need to take pictures and videos.
    With your 10.6.3 mini, you can use QuickTime X, iChat, Photo Booth, iMovie, and some of the other apps that are installed with OS X. Your Mac's Help for each of these apps can tell you how to use them with iSight (or other connected cameras.)
    Some more apps you can use are shown in this list:
      http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html
    The web links for each app gives details on what functions is offers with your webcam.

  • HT4587 I downloaded Airport Express Utility 5.6 to get my Airport Express to work with the latest Mac OSX 10.7.4, but when I install and run it, it still says my Airport Express is out-of-date and needs the 5.6 utility.

    I downloaded and installed Airport Express Utility 5.6 to get my old Airport Express to work with the latest Mac OSX 10.7.4, but when I install and run it, it still says my Airport Express is out-of-date and needs the 5.6 utility. What's up?

    It is likely that you downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1.  If you checked the requirements, this only runs on Leopard or Snow Leopard Macs.
    You have Lion, so you need AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion

  • Does the Wireless feature of HP LaserJet P1102w works with the latest Mac OS Yosemite?

    Hi everyone,
    I have just updated the new OS for Mac as well as the firmware and software for my HP LaserJet Professional P1102w. I looked at the video instructing on how to set up the wireless network for the printer and my Laptop. However, upon reaching the step that requires HTML configuration, instead going to the actual page, the link took me to an error page stating that it could not find its host. So, I would like to ask if this is due to HP not yet updated all Printer drivers to the latest OS or would  it be another cause? Thank you!
    Best regards,
    Jason Vu

  • Has anyone had problems with the latest driver update for the Lexmark printers? My Lexmark printers won't work with the latest driver update.

    Has anyone had problems with the latest Lexmark printer driver update? My Lexmark printers won't work with the latest driver update. If I reinstall an older version of the drivers, they work.

    Mine crashed once with new update, but working fine.
    I had to delete old printer, restart iMac, and then reinstall
    new drivers to get it to work. Would not complete without
    the restart after deleting non-working printer. No problems
    since and all features working.

  • GoPod - Does it work with the latest Ipod firmware?

    I have a 5th Gen 60gb iPod and have used goPod in the past to remove the volume cap. But ever since updating my iPod with the latest firmware the volume limit seems to be very quiet compared to what it used to be. Is this because goPod 1.4 doesn't work with the latest firmwire?
    Has anyone else had this problem or is it just me going deaf?
    Cheers

    I disagree with that rudolfraith.
    When I plug my iPod in, launch goPod and then press uncap, it does say that it is now uncapped, but the volume limit is no difference at all. I even tested this by hooking my Ipod up to my PC and recording it capped and uncapped, the levels were exactly the same.
    So I feel that goPod v1.4 doesn't work with the latest firmware.

  • Does anyone have drivers that will enable a Tascam US-144 (old model) to work with the latest version of Lion?

    Hi, does anyone have drivers that will enable a Tascam US-144 (old model) to work with the latest version of Lion? The drivers available on the manufacturer's download site are for a newer model and were not designed specifically to work with Lion. Does anyone have a tried and tested fix for this? Thank you.
    Message was edited by: john.rm

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

    Hello Kerrigaj,
    After a re-install of OS X 10.5.8 uninstalled the E71 in iSync and moved it out of the bluetooth-device list first and completely re-installed it using the bluetooth manager (SystemPreferences/Hardware).
    No extra thirdparty-software involved and ever since no problems.
    Goodluck - hope it works for you.

  • Will InDesign4 work with the newest MAC operating system -- OS10.9 I think.

    Will InDesign4 work with the newest MAC operating system -- OS10.9 I think.  My OS crashed and they have to wipe the computer to put on a new system. I don't want the latest system if it won't run CS4. I bought Creative Suite Cloud version and had nothing but problems with it and the system I was running. In fact all the problems with my computer started just after I put CS Cloud version on it.

    Thanks for answering. I'll try to be more specific in my question.

    Sarah,
    Check this link:

    It contains some issues that people have encountered with Lion and Office 2008. It appears it can work, but you may have to go through some of the steps a few of the posters there have listed.
    That website also contains a pretty large list of applications and if they will work with Lion.
    Hope this helps! (I am not affiliated in any way with the site linked).

  • Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

    Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

    My experience with upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion is that the OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless will print just fine, although it seems to take a little longer to find the printer on the network. My scan function however locks up and will not work. This really is an annoyance, though, since I have VueScan, which works fine with Lion.
    Hopefully, Apple and HP will not orphan the OS native scanning feature for HP multifunction printers.
