Dannydawiz Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I've been trying to plug my PODHD500 into the computer but my Mac OS X V10.8.4 doesn't detect it. I've tried rebooting I've tried using a different USB I've tried completing uninstalling all Line 6 files and reinstalling.I've tried installing the drivers manually from the website and still. When I click the update button in Line 6 Monkey the installation process goes fine. It says that the drivers have been installed and that I need to restart my computer.Well I restart my computer and open up Line 6 Monkey and it still says that the drivers haven't been installed. Someone help me please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 have you tried getting the drivers outside of monkey? http://line6.com/software/readeula.html?rid=5578 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannydawiz Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Yes I've already tried installing them manually from the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannydawiz Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 This is the driver though isn't it? "Line 6 Audio-Midi Devices" It opens up and it always says the same thing. Same with Line 6 Monkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 the drivers are installed. are you using a usb hub? i've seen that happen with a hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannydawiz Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 It's currently plugged into the back of the Mac USB Port. Also if the drivers are installed why does the Line 6 Monkey continue to display a caution sign saying that updates are available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 you wouldn't have the icon in sys pref if the drivers weren't installed... the drivers just aren't working for some reason... i'd try a different usb cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannydawiz Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Damn I don't have another USB cable at the moment. I'll have to order one online and get back to you on this post. Does it matter what type of usb cable? EDIT: Would this suffice? http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Hi-Speed-USB-Cable-Feet/dp/B00004Z5M1/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1379015727&sr=1-1&keywords=USB+cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 that would work... but you might be able to just borrow one from your printer or other usb device to test with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannydawiz Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 I understand. Sadly however my printer connects via wifi instead of USB. :/ Ill get back to you on this thread in anywhere from a week to a few days. Thank you for your help Zap.

trnc Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I'm having the same problem :/ And Ive tried several leads. Any sugestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannydawiz Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 So the new USB came and I tried plugging it in but I still can't get a connection. I'm thinking there is something wrong with the hardware. Does the USB input look okay in this picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
still_fiddlin Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Seriously, looks like someone attacked it with a screwdriver or something. Very broken. Here's an unbroken type B port (mine is actually black in color on my HD, but you see the difference). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannydawiz Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Damn I had a feeling there was something wrong with it. Even when I first got the pod a year and a half ago I would always have to fiddle with the USB plug because it would never lock in. It was always loose and never secure so the POD that I ordered must've came badly built as it was and I probably just made it worse. Regardless the warranty already ran out so do you guys have any ideas where I can get this fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatogonzalez Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 that would work... but you might be able to just borrow one from your printer or other usb device to test with.
