002R not connecting to mac
002R not connecting to mac
my 002R is not connecting to my macbooks; I have one running PT7.3.1 on mac osx 10.4, the other PT10.3.9 on mac osx 10.7, both cannot detect my 002R. however, the one running PT7.3.1 can detect a mbox mini, so the PT7 can launch. Yet to try mbox mini on PT10. I installed the 002R firewire drivers and still not working ? is it the 002R died ?

Re: 002R not connecting to mac
***REALLY IMPORTANT*** never(as in NEVER EVER) hot-patch either 002 or 003(plug or unplug the FW cable with things powered ON). This can(and usually will) fry the FW circuit in the 002/003. If you have done that, it may well be fried. Given the price of used 002r's buying another is likely to be cheaper than the repair(cost me $327 to fix my 003).
Then there is this; Almost all 002 units have, or will have, the dreaded power harness issue. Since you have the rack version, this is the easiest model to work on. Remove the top cover. With the unit facing you, the power supply is on the right side(bolted to the side of the case). There is a 2-wire connection on one side and the power harness connects to the other side(has several wires). The harness connects to 2 circuit boards. For each of these connections, unplug and re-plug each connector at least 5-6 times. If you have some good contact cleaner, go ahead and use it. IF the power harness is to blame, this action usually scrapes thru the oxidation buildup on the metal contacts and will bring the unit back to life.

Re: 002R not connecting to mac
I guess this is the reason Avid discontinued 002/003 product line and replaced with 11R

Re: 002R not connecting to mac
My 2 cents only, the ElevenRack is a unique product with a niche market(guitar players), 002 was replaced by 003, which was a product "refresh" that added improved preamps and converters(technology marches on) and also added wordclock connections(tremendous help for clocking when using ALL the possible IO paths). I think the 003 was dropped as it was not very competitive with all the 3rd party hardware that we are now allowed to use(back before PT9, we HAD to use Avid/Digi hardware). These days, a second-hand 003rack is cheaper(in the US anyway) than the repair cost of a non-working 002rack(a product that is at least 7-8 years old).
