Hello all,
I’ve just recently got an OT and I’ve having problems importing existing samples into the Audio Pool for the first time.
I’ve connected the OT via USB to my MacBook Pro (OS X v.10.5.8).
In the Project menu, I selected USB Disk Mode, got the ‘Syncing Project’ message and then the USB Disk Mode window with the message saying it is now enabled.
The OT appeared on my Mac desktop and I dragged & dropped several audio files into the Audio folder of my Project. As this was happening, I got a warning on the Mac saying that one particular sample couldn’t be transferred for some reason. This seemed to eject the OT as I got a message saying the device had been removed and it disappeared from the desktop.
Now when I try to reconnect the OT to the Mac via USB Disk Mode, it’s not connecting (not showing up on the Mac desktop and it’s not visible via Disk Utility). The messages on the OT look normal (it seems to think it’s connecting). I’ve tried a new USB cable and powering up both machines etc. Nothing.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
There is something in the OT boot sequence that preps a Mac. Make sure to have the USB cable attached to the OT and the computer booted up before powering up the OT.
Hi,
had the same Problem. My Flahcard was bad. I changed it and then it works.

Hi StinkyBeat,
Thanks - no joy there unfortunately. I’ve tried all combinations of booting up and it doesn’t seem to have any effect.
The strange thing is that the Mac recognised the OT with no problem when I first connected them; the OT icon appeared on the Mac desktop as it should. After drag & dropping a few audio files into the OT Audio folder, the Mac either ejected the OT or the OT ejected itself and they have not spoken since.
I’ll have access to other Macs tomorrow so will test it on them.
Frustrating to say the least!
Hi Nightgrap,
Ah, I was thinking about the flashcard… thank you - that’s very interesting to hear. I will get a new card tomorrow and try that.
For the record, I’m currently using the flashcard shipped with the OT.
Thanks for your help.
Out of interest… did you have exactly the same problem as mine, with your computer initially recognising the OT and then losing it? Or did your computer never recognise in the first place?
Thanks.
Hi Stockwell,
yes i have the same Problem. I connect the Card and then i loose the contact after 30 seconds work. After i had a new card it works fine.
And when i transfer Samples i get warning messages from my Mac Mini.
