Unable to Load Samples to OT (MAC)

sendhelp · 2015-01-03T04:35:16.000Z

Hey,
I am new to the OT.
I get errors every time I try and load samples onto the CF card.
Error -36
I have read / write permission.
I have tried a second card and still no luck.
I am using a Mac OS 10.10.1
Suggestions?
Thanks

Have you done repair permissions?

Double check them: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18894

I have no issues with Yosemite and Octatrack.

Yes, I have read write access on all files on the card.
I have tried to repair the permissions same issue.
I also get this issue when its not the -36 error
Thanks.

have you tried reformating the card?
-36 could either be corrupt data or dodgy media…if the issue is still persistent report back

sendhelp · 2015-01-03T16:45:23.000Z

I’ve reformatted both cards multiple times.

Madchiller · 2015-01-03T19:03:10.000Z

Did you repair permissions on the card or the Mac harddrive?

Madchiller · 2015-01-03T19:03:53.000Z

Using yosemite here with no issues. Yosemite solve a lot of Mavericks problems for me so no complaints here.

sendhelp · 2015-01-03T22:57:16.000Z

Well that seemed to work. Will report back shortly.
Good times.

I had the same problems… usb-connection never runned. A lot of mac errors and OT freezes… ://
My workaround: I bought a card reader = everything is fine now…

sendhelp · 2015-01-04T02:32:07.000Z

still didn’t work.
the card reader was the answer.
somewhat annoying but now we can actually proceed.
thanks for the help / suggestions.

Just checking - I got this error 36 when I didn’t have usb disk mode enabled on the OT. Have you enabled USB disk mode? Since then I purchased AudioFinder which is an awesome tool to manage samples and load them to the OT…

Same problem here with Yosemite 10.10.1. Error -36

This might sound trivial but please try in this specific order:

Power up computer.
Plug USB cable into computer
Plug USB cable into Octatrack
Power up Octatrack
Start USB Disk mode on Octatrack.

If the above fails, connecting it to a mixer can help with the grounding if you suspect grounding issues.
