    Default presonus firebox + macbook 13" problem

    I run:
    firebox
    vci100 (firmware 1.4)
    MacBook 2.16GHz
    traktor 1.1

    I did sum firmware updates on both firebox and vci100 the other day.
    At first traktor started to crash randomly.
    now my mac doesn't recognize the firebox.

    any ideas?

    Theres a firmware update for the Firebox ??????

    Ive never updated anything in 2 years. It just powers on so ive never even thought of looking for an update.

    You updated yours Bento? (seem to remem you having one???)

    i updated mine.

    i have an issue with recognition sometimes, it's usually fixed in a couple ways:

    1. connect ac power adapter to firebox, then connect to mac. if not recognized, restart mac (with everything still connected).

    2. completely "shut down" firebox (take out firewire connection, take out power adapter), then "power up" again (reverse order of shut down)
