Alrighty,so a couple weeks ago I purchased a 410 for my powermac g5 1.8 SP right out the box it did not work computer would not reconize it. I tried reinstalling the drivers numerous times and bought a new cable still nothing. Tech support suggested upgrading from 10.3.7 to 10.3.9. Before I did this I sent the 410 back and got a new one in the meantime I did the software upgrades.
I have never had anything else plugged into the computer that is firewire. The device does power I get the flashing blue light. When I go to the system profile I get no information for the device tree but only if the 410 is plugged in without it it's normal. The only thing I can think of is the firewire port on the computer is bad but I'm having a hard time comprehending that since it's new and I never used it before and it does power the device. Anyone got any advice before I lug the computer out to have the firewire tested? Similiar problem? Thanks. |

QUOTE (terrywil @ Aug 26 2005, 23:00) I have a 410 on one of my Mac G5 dual 2.0, using 10.4.2. I've had problems off and on with it not being recognized when I would upgrade the OS X from various versions (10.3.x) to 10.4.x for example. You have to make sure you have the right M-Audio 410 drivers for the OS X. Have you gone to the M-Audio site and downloaded the appropriate drivers for your OS? They have a bunch of them. And then there's always the repair permissions thing. Here's the M-Audio drivers site: http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support.drivers Good luck! I've tried reinstalling and the repair permissions numerous times. Did it take a few times of uninstalling and reinstalling to get it to work for you? I also used the most current driver for the os 10.3.9. I plan on upgrading to Tiger in the next month or two. When your computer wouldn't reconize the 410 did it do the same thing I described? |
