ionathan_ore Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I have the same problem :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onsons Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I have the same problem. I am sure that Line 6 has not introduced a problem getting to sell new models. Are not line6 products an investment for the future? I will not buy Line6 products if it means they will start to malfunction when new models come out.

pstrietman Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I think it has to do with the user presets being created before a flash memory update. I had the same issue on my X3 Pro. It also made the X3 restart when I accidentally hit preset 32A on the FBV as I found out during a gig (yikes). Looking into it more at home the restarts happened when selecting ppreses over 8 which in Gearbox all gave the message to upgrade to 2.0. I fixed by reflashing. Fist to fhe latest version which didn't work. Then to the oldest version which did work then back to the latest. Select to not keep your old sounds during the process. Save your old sounds before the reflash process and after you are done load the bundle you saved and select only the presets you need and send to the X3. Worked cor me. Hope this helps.

avanveld Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Greetings - also having issues w/ my X3 Pro and GearBox. I hadn't connected to my Mac for a couple of months perhaps so not entirely certain what's the culprit but here's the info: MacBook Pro, OSX Mavericks 10.9.1 Monkey says i'm on 7.3.6 drivers (all latest as of today) - Device firmware 2.10 Line6 License manager - v1.07 - it sees my X3 and reports the S/N and says 'YES' to 'authorized' - also confirms that my MacBook is authorized GearBox is 3.72 - when i start GB it says it's "ignoring connection to POD X3 Pro. This device has an incompatible driver installed" Has something changed in Line6 land where GB is no longer the right software? I see Pod Farm2 is now installed but i don't have a license for it. Is that what we should use now? TKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Gearbox is still the correct and only editor available for the x3 series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avanveld Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 tks...but that's a bit discouraging for a product that's really not too old for Line6 to sunset it's software and not provide a forward path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 they had previously announced that support for the X3 would end January 1st 2014. the x3 is quite a few years old. (and the software has not been updated for quite a few years and probably never will be) they cannot predict what changes windows or mac will mac to their systems... mavericks changed something that seemingly doesn't want to work with the older software. mavericks is what changed... not line6. i'm confident it can be made to work... with the mac being a closed OS, things are not as easy to tinker with as they are on windows... you might try removing the current driver and reinstalling some older ones as an idea... but its all guess work... as i do not know the answer to your issue.

shreckenshredder Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 So I am having the same exact problem as avanveld, can you instruct me on how to reinstall an old driver (which would be the latest before all these changes). This is very frustrating because I have grown accustom to my x3 pro and have purchased every additional thing I can on it and use it in my recording studio and now have no easy way to tweak it per customer without using the unit front.

TheRealZap Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 this worked for another forum user... To remove driver 7.3.6 1- On a terminal run this command sudo pkgutil --forget com.line6.driver.xtaudio.package (enter) 2- Then this sudo pkgutil --forget com.line6.driver.xtmidi.package (enter) 3- Reboot To install driver 7.2.9 4- Downloaded driver version 7.2.9 http://line6.com/sof...a.html?rid=5675 5- Run the 7.2.9 driver package to install it and ended the process with a reboot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
