M-audio Firewire Solo W/ Logic 7 Options

[coverthis55]

Hello there,
I just hooked up the M-Audio Firewire Solo with my G5 iMac to use with Logic 7 but the program doesn't seem to be receiving any signal. The interface clearly receives signal because it indicates when sound has been clipped but the program does not read it. I have installed the driver and everything. Anyone have any pointers?

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough but, always remember I'm not a native English speaker and that's exactly the kind of directions I need to give about 20 times a week… It's basic OS X clean up. No you know

Apple should be more enforcing/talkative on these permissions issues, it's the number one cause of little to major problems and it can easily cured/get out of the way if you know what to do as explained in a more clear fashion (sorry for my geek talk by editbrain.

Now the problem of surfmagic…

One last thing you can try is to reset the ports:
(if it has not been done by your friend)

first try:
- unplug everything save mains, keyboard, mouse, sceen (unplug the pci cards too if you have some, save the graphic card of course)
- start up the mac
- once it's started up and running you can shut it down again.
- replug everything, try again with the camera.

second try:
- unplug everything this time and open the mac.
- touch the power unit to remove static electicity
- locate the lithium battery
- remove it carefully
- locate near the battery placement the rest button, it's a very small button.
- press it gently using non conductive material (like a plastic pen) for about 20 seconds
- replace the battery (check the orientation), replug everything, close the mac.
- restart. (it may need 2 tries, you've just been a bad boy)
- try with the camera.

If it doens't work, your ports may have been permanently damaged by the M-audio interface, only an Apple certified tech can tell you. If so, it's M-Audio problem!
