Success with FW 410

[rmacgregor]

Hey there I had been beating my head against the keyboard all summer with my computer freezing on me. I narrowed it down to a problem with my FW 410 and quicktime. Last week I did a crazy thing, I contacted m-audio and tho' it took a few days, the problem got sorted out.

I had to do an archive and reinstall OX 10.4 then force an install of quicktime 7.1.6 Then do a combo update to 10.4.10 and finally install the latest FW 410 driver. There was a bit of moving files around after that, but in the end the problem got solved. I would recommend to anyone else who is having problems with their 410 to contact m-audio's tech support.

So let me get this straight.. Macs aren't perfect?

EDIT: Please disregard my completely jackassed statement. I actually wasn't trying to be a troll for an argument so dead they should stuff the horse and use it to help train noobies. I think I was just feeling the sting of an elitism I think is a complete crock. A complete bonehead at a supermarket thought that I would absolutely bust a nut after getting my new mac and basically insulted my wide knowledge of PC's. "Oh, my new mac is the shiz! whatever was I thinking in actually trying to learn how to use computers!?" Honestly I don't think that either is better than the other. And I've been learning to like where apple has been going in general lately. *nix/Intel. Macs are Far from perfect. But so are PC's.

They are!!


Its M-Audio, they're shit. the FW1814 I bought never worked, after 20 hours fucking around with drivers and re-installs I sent it back and got a MOTU ULTRALITE and what do you know it worked straight away and without the drivers!!

Mac, PC or Atari you should contact m-audio's tech support if you are having problems with your FW 410.

Any chance of the details for the process you went through?? I'm having similar problem but not using m-audio stuff. I'm using a fireface 800... but maybe this fix will help me anyway. Thanks alot! Would be great if you could copy and paste those instructions you got from m-audio.

Cheers!
