it doesnt sound like its the mbox more maybe the protools install. But as far as the cable goes can you tell me if you can ping the mbox throught the 1394 connection. If you cant ping it then damage may have been caused to the unit and it may need to be serviced. I fix my own M-box's but in my store it only costs around $50usd to fix almost all problems with a mbox2

my Mbox isnt being found by my mac. when i try and install protools it tells me the mbox carnt be found. i have tried different usb cables ect but nothing seems to work.

same here but when i pull up protools the mbox does not power on !!I have the imac g5

For those hitting the -9073's, a couple of urgent needs:

1. Please explain what Editing functions you are performing that cause -9073's. BESIDES creating fades, Audiosuite, Consolidating, or TCE Trim (as these all fire off background disk-writing processes, which we've confirmed can indeed cause -9073s.)

2. Open up Task Manager and keep an eye on it to perhaps catch some unexpected background tasks during Editing.

3. Does DAE buffer 4 ease the occurrences? (It does for me on 2 rigs: MacPro quad, HD3 and Powermac G5 dual 2.7, HD3).

Note: Using the "Pause Tasks during playback" (in Task Manager menu) is one method of holding off the -9073's, but it no means to I suggest that as a total solution.

I have the same problem. Usually it will work when I reboot the computer. The trick is once you get the mbox working with the phantom power on, is to not turn off the phantom power during your session; the duration in which you use the mbox at that given time before shutting it down. You can switch the phantom off and it won't shut off, but if you press it back on, it may and for me more than half of the time it does shut off. I have a new problem with my mbox. I can't hear play back, even though I can hear sound from either input. Any suggestions?
