Hello, as you now, I have a problem with line6 hardware. My monkey v1.33 does not show Pod X3 Live, I have the latest drives version [4.7.1]. Monkey only shows Pod X3 Pro ; UX1 and UX2. What can I do about it?
Hello,
Are you running a 32 bit or 64 bit install of Snow Leopard?
Also, have you tried connecting the POD to other USB ports on your Mac?

Thanks for help me, but, Monkey does not show pod x3 live yet. I tried connect my pod x3 live over another USB hub or port, I tried all connections, but nothing. About my system: my Logic Studio 9.1.1 shows 32 bit in his splash screen, but, I dont know about 32bit or 64bit, excuse-me. I want use gearbox and activate pod farm plugin but my monkey dows not shows pod x3 live as device, what I gonna do?
Please remove all other USB devices from your computer (except a mouse, keyboard, and the POD) while troubleshooting this problem. Completely remove ANY USB hubs, even if not in use, and test the POD on all of the computer's USB ports.
You may even need to try a different USB cable. Make sure to download and install the latest drivers for the POD onto your computer as well.
Also, please make sure that your computer has USB 2.0 ports, as the POD only works with those type of USB ports.

Thanks for help me, but, Monkey does not show pod x3 live yet. I tried turn off all my USB devices an then connect my pod x3 live over another USB port, I tried all way, but nothing. About my USB: It is 2.0 - My macbook is the newest version unibody 2010. Excuse-me. My monkey dows not show in screen my pod x3 live, only shows pod x3 pro - UX1 and UX2! I want use gearbox and activate pod farm plugin but my monkey dows not shows pod x3 live as device, what I gonna do?
Check to see if you have Snow Leopard running in 64 bit mode.
Clcik ont eh Apple icon in the top left corner of your desktop. Then click on "About This Mac". Next, click on "More Info".
On the left hand side click on "Software". The main page should say something like 64 Bit Kernel Extensions and then a Yes or a no near that.
What does yours say?

Thanks for help me, I did qhat you say and I found that. It says "NO" - 64 bit Kernel Extensions.
OK thanks.
So you aren't running in 64 bit mode. At least we know for sure now.
The next thing you should try is a complete uninstall of your Line 6 Drivers.
Unplug your Line 6 device and go to HD>Applications>Line 6>Drivers
Run the driver uninstaller.
After that, go to our software downloads page and re-download and reinstall a fresh set of 4.7.1 drivers.
Install those drivers and relaunch Line 6 Monkey. You may even want to connect your Line 6 device to a different USB port on your Mac before you launch Monkey.
Let me know if that changes anything. Thanks.

Thanks for help me, but naohting, I tried everuthing but nothing appears. Uninstal line6 drivers and re-install but Monkey does not shows pod x3 line yet. I don't know what to do!
I'm running Snow Leopard on 32 bits and I have no problems with Monkey whatoever.
I´m guessing a reinstallment of your Mac Os could solve the problem.
At least it would eliminate the possibility of being a Mac problem, to being just a defective unit problem I guess...
Nontheless, good luck with that.
I´ve been on that road with the usb drop out on my old pc. Its a bugger...
Thanks for help me but, it isn't a Mac problem I think, it is a MONKEY's problem because when I turn on Monkey v1.33 the dialog box shows only POD X3 PRO - UX1 and UX2 only this devices.
what about gearbox? does that fail as well?
Thanks for help me, but... gearbox works well when STANDALONE but as plugin it don't work... I don't know why... I can record in Logic Studio 9.1.1 with my POD X3 Live with my own presets, but gearbox don't work... Gearbox as STANDALNOE plays no sound, but I can save my own presets... Line6.com should create an universal MONKEY installer with no ERROR... ; )
gearbox plugin isn't supported any more, it's been upgraded to pod farm. give it a try if it's the plugin thats giving you issues....
its the same tones just a different interface.
Thanks for help me, and then are you saing that I have to uninstall GEARBOX and then I will have no problem with MONKEY? I can't use POD Farmo because only MONKEY can authorize this use, and then I'm using gearbox, but I'll try uninstall gearbox and check if monkey work fine...
you'll need the gearbox application... thats different than the older and no longer supported gearbox plugin.....
so don't uninstall....
unless you opt to uninstall all of the line6 stuff and reinstall... worth a try...
you might try a different usb port... and for sure a different usb cable... sometimes these simple things make a huge difference!
Thanks for help me, but, I tried all ways, USB cable, USB port, all different way, but nothing, my problem is in MONKEY's DIALOG BOX, it does not shows X3 Live, only X3 PRO - UX1 and UX2...
it shouldn't show you anything... it should search and find the x3 automatically... the list is only for connecting to devices through midi... the x3 does not support connecting through midi...
the problem ***IS*** the drivers on your system... unplug device... uninstall drivers... reboot... reinstall drivers... reboot... plug it in...
it should find it...
sorry it seems like a few steps... some might not be needed... just trying to give you the best chance of success.
I`m happy... \o/ finally, line6.com has launched a newest version of drivers - 5.7.1, i`m not shure about it. But i`m happy and monkey finally can recognize my pod x3 live. Thanks line6.com!
