I resolved the problem. Had to go into Audio MIDI setup, unplug the midi fighter, then select the grayed out midi fighter MIDI device and then click “Remove Device”. After that, I plugged it back in, new midi fighter device appeared, and the utility recognized it. ---

What is the model of your macbook and what version of OSX are you running? ---

What is the model of your macbook and what version of OSX are you running? I’m with Tyrone on this one. My mf3d doesn’t appear in Audio MIDI setup. I’m running mf utility 2.63, my mf Twister shows up, my mf 3d does not. Need help. ---

So I sent a support ticket and the support guys suggested that I use the Audio Midi setup method to resolve my issue. There was a step missing from what punkbot mentioned. The steps are: 1. Go to audio midi setup 2. click window in the top menu 3. click “show midi studio” 4. plug in then unplug your mf3d From there you can remove your greyed out device. After I did that, the mf utility was able to recognize my device. Hope that helps!
