I bought a Late 2012 iMac and MBox 3 Pro assuming the Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter would connect the two. The MBox came with what I will describe as an 'old style' not-mini Firewire cable and an Adapter labeled 'IEEE1394', which converted the male Firewire connector to a 'new-style' not-mini male Firewire connector, which fits into the Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter.

The MBox application, nor Pro Tools on OSX does not recognize the hardware as connected.

I have double checked the connections and tried both Firewire ports on the back of the MBox 3 Pro and tried both of the Thunderbolt ports on the back of the iMac.

I have tried booting with the wires connected and MBox on and with MBox off and turned on after boot and with wire disconnected until after boot.

Has anyone gotten this configuration to work?
If not, are there any suggestions other than replacing my iMac with one containing a native Firewire port or replacing the MBox 3 Pro with a audio interface that supports Thunderbolt or USB 3?
