New MacMini(i7), Mojave, PT 2018.12U, HD-Native

[littlesicily]

Hi All,

I know.... not supported yet, but a friend is successfully running the new Mac mini/Mojave/PT2018.12U ... with HDX.

I'm trying today w/ HD-Native Thunderbolt.... and I can't get Pro Tools to see my HD-Native and connected HD I/O's. I've unistalled/reinstalled, trashed prefs, restarted, etc. Btw, I'm using the Apple TB2-TB3 adaptor, which seems fine with all my other external TB HD's and such.

Anyone running this combo w/ HD-Native TB?

Do you have the digilink license on your ilok key?

Yes.

I still have my Trashcan Mac Pro and everything is fully functional on that rig.
On the Mac mini, I installed PT, HD Driver, rebooted, uninstalled, reinstalled, etc.
Still not recognizing the HD-N.

Just a quick question: why are you using a TB 2/3 adapter? The Native TB boxes are not TB3 and the trashcan connections are TB2 so try skipping the adapter and see if that does anything.

I'm using the TB2/3 adapter with the new Mac Mini, not the Trashcan. MacMini has TB3, HD-Native is TB2.

Are you sure the Thunderbolt box is TB2 as I have not seen that stated anywhere. It only say ”Thunderbolt” connection in all the articles and spec’s so maybe you need a TB3 to TB1 adapter if that exist.

You have done the PRAM reset and tested the TB cable so it works as it should? It is a weird issue but check on the TB1 to TB3 if the adapter you have is going to work with that connection.

HD Native Thunderbolt is a few years old and I am quite sure it is only TB1 on those boxes but as I said please double check that.
