Question

I’ve been seeing mixed messages. What do you all do with your outdated interfaces? Mine is a nice piece and still in good condition. Definitely don’t want to throw it out but I’m not sure what I can do. Thank you much!!

Catalina, FP10, iMac

Answer 1

I'm still having trouble getting mine to connect. Here is the trouble ticket I just sent to Presonus support: 

My iMac with Catalina 10.15.7 isn't connecting with my Firepod interface. I have used them together before, but they don't work now. I have downloaded the Catalina-compatible Universal Control and Firewire Driver, both v.3.6.0 and 3.6.4.. I used the uninstaller, restarted, and reinstalled the new drivers. Still doesn't connect. The Firepod does not show up on the "Sound" tab in System Preferences. I have tried different cables, adapters and plugs.

Answer 2

My MacOS 10.15.7 MacBookPro Catalina works well with Firepod bought in 2005. It was just plug and use with the Firewire 800 into MacBook. Used with Cubase 12 and no issues. I wish that were the same with MacOS 14 Sonoma.
