Default Mbox Pro Pro Tools 10 Bundle to Mac Book Pro Connect

Hi. OK, I'm new to Apple and Avid, but wanted to move to computer based recording. Considering going back to hard disk.

Issue: Pro Tools does not seem to recognize Mbox

1. Bought new Mac BookPro with Thunderbolt inputs.
2. Bought bundled MboxPro and ProTools (10 apparently).
3. Loaded Pro Tools software via iLok.
4. No disk with Mbox, so eventually loaded four drivers at avid.com for Mbox.
5. I can see controller for Mbox on computer (although I thought control was supposed to be integrated into ProTools 10).
6. MboxPro comes with Firewire 800.
7. Can't connect directly to Macbook.
8. Bought a FW800 adapter to Thunderbolt.
9. The two male cable that came with Mbox wont fit into Apple FW800 female.
10. Used short thumb drive type adapter - inserted FW800 male into recepter and then smaller end does fit into Apple adapter. Plugged into TB port.
11. Mbox goes on fine, controller is fine, but no hardware found.

So, back to issue. Do I need to tell computer something more, or is this a hardware issue? Hope not, because otherwise the two brand new systems are incompatible...

Thanks.

Ugh. Take some serious time with the manual. Read all things Mbox and Protools and then read a bit more. Before doing anything else! You have good gear but too much operator error to list here. Good luck and don't give up; just get educated.

Default Mbox Pro Pro Tools 10 Bundle to Mac Book Pro Connect

hi,
I have an mbox pro and a mac book air.... but I can't seem to connect the firewire cable to the mac, since the port is no longer available.... what should I do about this?
Is there some sort of other cable I could get to solve this issue ?

You need to buy an Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter.

Next time you have a question it would be better if you started a new thread for your problem instead of posting to an existing thread that is really not directly related.
