Sync issue with my Focusrite Saffire Pro 24

I am having the craziest issue with my relatively new Focusrite Saffire Pro 24.
Audio is cutting in and out, in iTunes, Logic, Safari-anywhere audio can be played. In logic I get a sync error message, and the guys at Focusrite said there were a bunch of sync errors in my log. Focusrite had me ship the interface to their repair center. They couldn't find anything wrong with it and shipped it back. I have continued to trouble shoot with Focusrite to no avail.
I have even gone as far as an archive and install of a totally different OS and am still having the issue. The interface works fine on my roommates CPU. I have tried everything, different cable, different versions of the driver(they even sent me a beta to try), different user, different outputs, updating everything, repaired permissions several times, tried it without any other devices connected, etc etc.
My built-in output works fine, my USB M-audio works fine.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be up?
Macbook 2.4 core 2 duo
4gb ram
10.6.7 (and tried 10.5.2)
Logic 9
Ableton 8
Thanks

Hello Everyone,
My Saffire Pro 24 DSP connection keeps dropping out. The output is initially recognized in my sound preferences and then disappears. I'm using logic X and also listen to occasional music via Spotify or iTunes through the saffire sound output. I've already downloaded the latest version of Saffire MixControl and that doesn't help. This is Extremely frustrating.
- I'm running it on a macbook pro OSX 10.8.5
- I'm connecting with the 400/800 fire wire cable. Have not got the thunderbolt adapter. Not sure if that would make a difference.  I would think not.
What am I missing. Could it be a faulty firewire cable?  Would consider replacing but want to trouble shoot system before spending money on new cable.
I've also heard about DiceTool which solves firmware issues on OSX Mountain Lion. Could that be it?
Please help me.
Thanks
Brian

  • Quisiera saber si se puede utilizar Logic Pro con la interface Focusrite Saffire PRO 26

    Quiero comprar una interface Focusrite Saffire PRO 26. Quisiera saber si es compatible con Logic PRO X
    Gracias

    About a year ago I got a Mac pro with this reference, from an advertising agency. It was a series of computers that [they] were going to throw out, and a fellow already offered him one. From what I've read is the year 2006/2008.
    The issue is that I have tried switching connecting to a screen but I do not get anything out. The furthest I've gotten has been to see me for a password that I have not connecting to my Mac Book Pro with a FireWire cable (my partner is no longer in the company and do not know the password but I read that you can reset all that).
    I wonder if it's worth it to fix it or take it to look at it because if you could update it would be great to install Logic Pro to produce music.
    looking forward a reply.
    many Thanks
    That SMC number is for the original Mac Pro 1,1 from 2006. It is worth about US$600 in working condition. Its technical Specs are here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP30
    If you hear the chime, that means it passed its Power-On Self Test, and it is working, but it could need a new Hard Drive.
    It shipped with a 7300 graphics card, and many of those are dead by now. To use it, you would need to buy an Apple-firmware 5770 card, about US$250.
    That machine can run Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7, but not higher.

  • I have been having syncing issues with icloud notes, contacts, and now icloud email. Does anyone have suggestions?

    Just recently, I have been unable to receive icloud email on my iphone and new ipad3. Although, I am a loyal apple consumer, I feel a bit let down. I am a PhD student and used my ipad/icloud email for downloading  and reading PDF journal  articles. My goal is to eventally buy a MacBook Pro and eliminate some of the syncing issues with icloud by storing my documents on the hard drive. I hope this will give me some relief from all the trouble I have had with icloud. Please share your suggestions.

    Right now, there is an iCloud blackout.  Most people are having issues syncing Notes, Calenders, and Contacts between devices, emails aren't being sent, and Find My iPhone isn't working.

  • Sync issues with Thunderbolt drives

    I'm checking to see if there are any sync issues with Mac Book Pros pre-Retina screen.
    I have a (13-inch, Mid 2012)  2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 Mac Book Pro and I'm having some sync/latency issues with a number of audio interfaces, including a Symphony I/O and a MBox Mini 2.
    I'm editing with Final Cut Pro 7.  Mavericks OS 10.9.5.  It's also happening with QT 10.3.
    I'm using a Thunderbridge with the Symphony I/O and the USB port for the MBox Mini 2, but it has the same issue.  I'm trying to get the registration number for my Pro App version of QT 7 because QT 10 is having some issues with a few arcane video formats.  Is that possible?  I can't retrieve the email because the computer that might have it is long dead, and buried in storage.
    configuration:
    Mac Book Pro to
    G RAID Studio (via Thunderbolt) to
    (Apogee Symphony I/O Thunderbridge)
    1080P monitor (via Belkin Mini Display port to HDMI cable)
    or MBox mini via USB
    Both of these setups have sync issues.  I have rigged a 1/8" stereo plug out of the headphone output and except for the occasional deafening buzz when you touch the adapter, it works okay, with no seeming sync issues.
    Is this a thing?  I understand that there is an issue with Symphony I/Os and certain Haswell Mac USB 3.0 ports.

    Hi,
    Yes, I apologize. The video editor wasn't giving me any details. I did see the 44.1/48khz issue online. So will this happen only if both are mixed in the same timeline?
    Thanks

  • Focusrite saffire pro 26i/o?

    Hi. did anyone use a new focusrite saffire pro 26i/o? i am planing to buy a new audio hardware for my quad..does any 1 think it will be beeter sounding than the rme..or apogee(ensemble) if yes then y is it costing so low compare to apogee and even motu 896. i have focusrite twintrak and voice master pro and in both the anolog outs are much beeter than the digital outs..thats the worry..how will u guys rank thease interfaces for sound..apogee ensemble,focusrite saffire pro,rme,motus..and tascam 1804
    would like to hear from you guys...

    Hi Amar
    This is Rohit Pradhan , I am currently studing MA in Audio Production at University of Westminster , I used to work at Lakdawalas sound city and also use to freelance for small bands as a live soudn engineer in mumbai . good to see you on this forum and first of all Let me tell you one thing I showed Sarkar to my class as a Study subject on sound design and your work was very much appreciated than any thing else.
    I work here at discovery channel mastering division as i am studing . Amar. i have seen and used the ensemble and it rocks i would certainly suggest you go for the ensemble its just stands out of the options which you are lookign at. the Sound is awesomely tranparent and you dont hear that 'Tinny' Mid n high freq emphasised sound which u normally hear out of these boxes.
    the apogee convertors are really good as is the digital clock . ( we had it connected to the DM 2000 and it had a stable digital clock .
    Please dont go for motu 896 has a lota problems with osx. The focusrite is a good option coz i am usign the saffire and i am happy with it.
    Another good option if you r looking at good sound is a METRIC HALO 2882dsp
    www.mhlabs.com. Its a rocking but very underated product many mastering engieneers recommend this particular sound card.
    I guess i have anwered your queries if you need any further help do revert back . [email protected]
    Regards

  • Focusrite Saffire Pro 10 or Motu Ultralite firewire audio interface

    Hello one and all.
    Newbie here so please bear with me as I realise this topic has been covered in lots of various ways before.
    I work in a theatre and spend my time creating sound effects, soundscapes, editing pre recorded music and A/V work. I'm currently upgrading our pre, live & post production equipment.
    You can see I've gone for the iMac 2.8GHz & i'm about to receive Logic Studio 8. I'm looking for a firewire audio interface as I want to link up a midi controller to it (Edirol pcr 300) and also connect to our Allen & Heath GL3300 mixing desk. I'd like to try to, "future proof" our options (i.e differing i/o options) as we never know what recording/playback needs are around the corner. I've tried to research audio I/O's as much as I can and I've ended up with a choice of 2, Focusrite Saffire Pro 10 or Motu Ultralite.
    Any views, reviews or ideas greatfully received.
    Thanks
    P*

    I've done installation work for theatres/theatre groups. Reliability is a nr. 1 priority. I suggest you take a hard look at the Metric Halo 2882.
    I like my MOTU 828 mk2(it always works), but my experiences with the MOTU Traveler (will often go berserk if you inadvertently pull the FW plug) and the MOTU 896 HD haven't been very favorable. The 896HD will give you a full blast burst of noise whenever you switch it on. Not good in a theatre where the amps are normally left at full throttle. Also, I had a lot of failures/technical problems.
    The 2882 is a bit more expensive, but worth every cent. And the technical support is second to none.

  • How do I get rid of lip-sync issues with iTunes 10.2.2.12?

    Hi Everyone.
    Firstly, a very Happy Easter!
    I'm having lip-sync issues with iTunes playback on my PC. The video is largely smooth with the occaisional choppiness when the CPU is made to work hard. (Playback on my iPod Touch is fine).
    The system stats for my PC are at the bottom of the post.
    The sound is produced through a Creative Live Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 card.
    Video is through a NVIDIA Geforce 6200 with 512Mb of RAM. (All video and audio drivers are up to date).
    The physical set-up is that I have iTunes installed on the C drive and my media installed on an external USB hard-drive.This isn't just a problem with 10.2.2.12 - it's been there for the last few updates.
    I suppose my main questions are:
    Should iTunes and my media be on the same drive? (Which would mean the external drive as I'm short on space on the C drive).
    Is there some combination of settings in QuickTime that will solve this? (I've tried different combinations, but it doesn't really help).
    Is the spec (below) of my PC causing any issues.
    Here's an Easter Egg for anyone able to help!!
    All the best

  • ITunes sync issues with Windows 7 64k Bit

    I am beyond frustrated! I have attempted for the past 3 days straight to figure out why iTunes keeps having syncing issues with all my devices- Nano 8GB, Touch 8GB, iPhone 3G 8GB. When I first connected the devices for the first time iTunes froze up and I had to hard boot. I then had to "restore" the devices as they were messed up. Since then I have had syncing issues. It says it is syncing but then it stops and freezes before it is finished and is unresponsive requiring me to end the program. Then my computer does not recognize the iPod is connected so I have to reboot my computer and it all starts over again. I'm not trying to sync a million song, 600 songs less than 2Gig.
    Called Apple, they had me uninstall iTunes 9 and reload it. That did not fix the problem. Called back and they told me to go to the Apple store and have them check my devices (they did not as they said they were pretty sure it was not iTunes or my devices) that it was probably Windows 7. MS points the finger at iTunes 9, Apple points the finger at Windows 7... all the while me (the customer) has no resolution. I don't care what the issue is... I would just like to figure out how to fix it (if it's my computer fine...I'll take it in to have it fixed) but I just cant get anyone to help figure out what/where the issue is.
    I have tried many of the "tricks" that are posted when you google the issue.. ie reinstall drivers etc. The "Genius" at the Apple store searchd and found something that said it might be my motherboard needing an updated driver (I updated that and nothing changed).
    Would REALLY appreciate it if someone could help
    Thanks!

    Every time I try to sync my iPhone 6 Plus with iTunes, the sync process gets stuck on step 5 of 5 (waiting for changes to be applied).  The longest this has occurred for is 2hrs.  After this time I have stopped the sync and ejected my iPhone.
    I had another issue with my phone when playing music.  When going to play music, I was given the error message saying that the song could not be found.  I connected my iPhone to iTunes and went to the tab in summery page, 'on this iPhone'.  I found the song and could see that next to the song was a small what looked like dotted grey circle.  After Googling this, I found a video saying that if i was to remove all my music and then add it again, this should fix the problem with this song.  I did this and this was when the issue occurred again.
    I unticked the option to remove all music but the sync did not finish. So I cancelled the sync, ejected my iPhone and tried again.  This time, the summery page of my iPhone said there was no music on my iPhone and the 'on this iPhone'  tab, this all so said there was no music however, my music was still on my iPhone including the song that would not play.  All played ok.
    I have read lots in the Apple forums about lost of difference reason this may be happening.  Things like bugs in iOS 8, app updates being transferred during the sync process, the latest iTunes version has bugs and even a dodgy USB cable could cause it.  My iPod running iOS 5 syncs all ok but I get this problem as well on my iPad Air.
    I all so had this issue with my old iPhone 4S.  The problem occurred when running iOS 7 and 8 on the 4S.  When I had it on the 4S, I did a restore of the 4S 4 times and thought I had found the issue down too a dodgy app.  However, now that it has happened on my new iPhone and still not using that app, could this be an issue with my Mac/iTunes?
    I am in contact with Apple Care, but this is such a long process. 
    So if anybody could please offer any advice on this or steps to try to maybe solve the issue, it would be really helpful.   Or if anybody is experiencing the same problem, it would be good to know its not just my devices and Mac producing this sync problem.
    I will update my post with any information provided by Apple Care as and when I get it.
    Thanks for reading and thanks for your time.

    Hi,
    Just wanted to updated my original post and give some more information on this issue that I'm having with my iOS devices running iOS 8.0.2 and iTunes 11.4.
    Firstly I just want to updated my details about what version of Mavericks I'm running.  I'm running 10.9.5 - I put the wrong version down in my original post.
    So over the last week, I have had a few phone calls with Apple Care an am dealing with a senior technical advisor about this issue.
    I have been given some instructions that I am currently working through to see if it solves the sync issue with iTunes and my iOS devices. 
    The Apple Care advisor has pointed out that a iTunes version issue with music that I have ripped to iTunes and the current iTunes version could be what is causing the problem.  For example, every song that I have purchased from iTunes since having an account, I was told are all exactly the same the same when it comes down the to data/information about that track/album that iTunes stores with the music but when it comes to music that I have added to iTunes myself from a CD,  this was added and encoded with the version of iTunes that was running at the time of adding the music.  So going through all the music that I added to iTunes over the last 10 years, you can imaging that there was lots of mixed version of iTunes linked to lots of different music.
    At the moment, I'm having to go through all my music and find any that I have added and create a new ACC version of that music and delete the old version.  However, due to the amount of music that I have, this is going to take a long time.  When I was on the phone to the Apple Care advisor, we did several albums as a test and they all synced over to my iPhone.  This may just have been luck though at that time.
    Now, I'm not saying that this will solve the problem that I have with the sync issue but I am going to try it and see how I get on.  The only down side to this fix as far as I can see at the moment, is  that when it's all done, I think I will have to fully restore all my iOS devices to get music on to them.
    I will of course updated this topic when I have got through all my music and tried to sync my iOS devices.
    Thank you all for your comments.

  • Syncing issues with Apple TV

    Is anyone else having syncing issues with their Apple TV? I am trying to sync movies up that I just bought (StarTrek HD, IronMan HD) and the sync sits there with the progress bar moving all the way to the end but never actually finishes. Just sits there for hours! I don't know if it is because of the iTunes Extras or not, but it is getting very annoying.
    I have read a lot of bad reviews of the Apple TV 3.0.1 update and I have to say, the my Apple TV is very sluggish and hangs a lot with this new revision. I am sure that is part of my issues syncing. All of this is sad because the product has such potential. To me, it is like an iPod for your TV.
    I believe with this slow response times and issues Apply may be working on a hardware update to the device which is long overdue. Maybe the new software requires a faster processor and/or more memory which will be answered in the new hardware (one can only hope). We are just beta testing the new software. Apple: Listen to the people, we want bigger hard drive (500GB+) and reliability! We want it to run as smooth as an iPod. The moment you update the hardware, everyone with Apple TVs will buy a new one!

    Yes I have the same problem,, and it was with 2.4 version, I upgraded to 3.0.1 and still the status bar progresses all the way to end and just hangs there,,, BS is what it is,, If this is not fixed or goes unanswered I am just going to take my Apple TV back as I just purchased it yesterday. 12/17/09

  • Syncing issues with an external hard drive

    Hello, having a syncing issue with my iTunes right now. I have my library set up on an external hard drive because there isn't anymore space on my computer for my music, and the other day my roommate unplugged the external to ironically sync my ipod. There was a syncing issue of course but it's happened before so I wasn't worried, but now iTunes can't find a few hundred songs in my library still. I've restarted iTunes and replugged in my hard drive multiple times and restarted my computer and consolidated my library as well but nothing's working. All my music is still on my external but iTunes can't read some of the songs for some reason. Any suggestions at this point? I'm lost. Thanks.

    Welcome to AD!
    What drive letter did the exHD use before this happened? Do you know?
    Windows can change hard drive letters for USB devices without telling you.
    Use Windows Disk Management to change the drive letter back to what it was before your roomie created this havoc. Then start itunes, and tell your roomie it's their turn to I dunno, clean the toilet, or something useful.
