Title: Mac OSX won't recognize my Neuros Post by: footballer on September 29, 2006, 03:09:22 PM I tried to connect my Neuros to a Mac today (PowerPC G5 running OS X 10.4.7) but the Neuros was not recognized. I am able to connect it to Windows XP machines with no problem. I've searched the old NeurosAudio forums but I wasn't able to find a resolution. Here is some additional info:
- Neuros I with 20GB USB 2.0 backpack, Firmware v2.28 - I've run "Format NAND Disk" and "Revive Bad Blocks" and tried again, still no luck - On the Mac, it doesn't show up in Disk Utility, but it's present in System Profiler (data below) - I have an Iomega external USB 2.0 hard drive that works fine - I've tried multiple USB ports on the Mac with the same result - I tried connecting my Neuros to a friends Intel-based Mac laptop as well and it wasn't recognized on that machine either - If I use the USB 1.1 cable, the Mac recognizes and mounts the Neuros (read-only of course) Has anyone experienced this before and found a way to resolve it? Is there a way to mount it manually? Thanks.

Once you format a drive using MS (for MS purposes) it becomes "read only in Mac applications. I know that Mac is continually updating OS X, and that the latest versions (with boot camp) will *RUN* Windows apps. I think you can get boot camp as an add-on feature. Something to check into. HTH - HAND Title: Re: Mac OSX won't recognize my Neuros Post by: footballer on October 02, 2006, 11:05:24 AM Thanks, but I'm pretty sure others have been able to succesfully mount their Neuros and sync using NDBM.
Here are a couple of old threads discussing it: Neuros and Mac OSX (http://www.neurosaudio.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5838) read-only access under Mac OS X (http://www.neurosaudio.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5967) Title: Re: Mac OSX won't recognize my Neuros Post by: chad(at)gambit.net on October 05, 2006, 09:33:36 AM footballer, there are three things that I would try, though be careful with 2 & 3....
1) Try connecting just the backpack with the "brain" removed. I've noticed that firmware glitches in the brain can sometimes cause a lock-up. This removes the firmware from the equation entirely. 2) Make sure you've run the 10.4.8 update that was released last weekend. I don't think there were any USB updates, but it may not be a glitch in USB in particular. (I would also suggest running "Verify Disk" and "Verify Permissions" under Disk Utility. It seems to be the catch-all response to most OSX support requests, and if the mount-point has bad permission settings, that could very well be the cause.) 3) If you know UNIX at all, you can run mount from the terminal. I personally haven't played around with OSX's command line to feel comfortable giving you the steps, though. |
