MBOX 2 Pro working on PC but not Mac?

[LMBAK]

Hello! back again needing help.

i have a Mac tower:
Mac tower A1186 with dual Xeon processors running on Mac OSX Lion

I got my Digi 003 to work on my pc with davinci resolve, so i can use my studio monitors while mixing and editing (not on protools because i have protools LE 7.4 and that version is for windows XP).

However, i cannot get my Mbox 2 pro to be recognized in my mac which should be working. i then bought a digi 003 to see if something was wrong with my mbox but its the same issue (blinks but no solid connection).

Both mbox 2 pro and digi 003 are recognized on my Pc (windows 11) as audio interfaces but my mac doesnt have a clue theyre connected. i thought i had bad firewire ports but both units blink when connected to the mac.

Any ideas would be awesome. just trying to open up my old projects i made on my mac. Also, if anyone knows for sure that the new protools can open up old projects, then ill get it as a last resort. im on a mission to open up those old projects and nothing will stop me lol.

P.s- i installed latest drivers for mbox and digi 003 on my mac.
