Unable to locate hardware on pro tools 8 le - Digidesign Mbox 2 (MBOXII)

The Same is happening with me its might be Windows 7 issue, try to update the driver automatically through device manager, if it will not work ask to your tech support...

I had this problem as well... If this is a 2011 macbook pro you have os 10.6.7 which is not supported by avid at this time. We actually need to down grade to 10.6.6. You installation cd with your macbook pro is 10.6.6, so you'll need to install that, then go to the avid website and download pro tool le 8.0.5. Everything should work fine just don't upgrade to 10.6.7 until it has been approved by avid. If you need detailed steps look at the avid forum for pro tools. Step to uninstalling and installing the os can be found on youtube.com... Do not have your mbox plugged in when you install pro tools. I hope this helps!!!

More than likely you need reinstall the correct drivers and make sure that they are up to date.

You haven't stated your problem, aside from the error code. Please include the hardware setup, computer and Pro Tools version and plugins you are using. Also include your experience with the setup; was it working at some point? etc.

I run PC and Mac versions of this system, and I have had to go as far as to enter the computer CMOS setup to sort out problems. Pro Tools issues can be caused by many aspects of your hardware and software setup.

I know it can be tedious and time consuming, but have you tried to access the Avid (Digidesign) site's Q & A locations? You may have to do this if the solution to your problem is not immediately apparent.

Most of all, if you are not running properly registered software, with a user account on Avid, you are asking for problems here. Cracked versions of the program and plugins can cause unresolve-able problems.

Try these Pro Tools related sites to see if they offer some help.

Try the other port on the 002. If that doesnt work, I recommend trying the 002 on a computer that does have 400 to see if it will connect then.

If it doesnt, then you may have a couple blown firewire chips inside your 002. It happens, and can be fixed.

unable to locate hardware is what my mac says.all lights are on

SOMETIMES these systems require the software to be installed BEFORE the unit is connected to the PC.

Sometimes you have to install the software in "safe mode" to get it to work.

how do i install sound drivers and power dvd to my laptop?

sound driver problems

If this was already solved, well, this will help someone else. My guess is your new G5 came with 10.4 or 10.5 and you possibly tried to install LE 6.7 or earlier. This will not work on these OSs. If you have 6.7 you can upgrade to LE 6.9.1 for free and this will solve you problem. If you have LE 6.4 you are screwed and will have fork over $75 to Digidesign to upgrade to 6.9.1...or upgrade to 7.4, which is actually kind of worth it.
