LOOK! I installed Lion but the firewire is NOT recognized on my Mac Pro!

64-bit mode? tried 32-bit mode. And new drivers or anything.

With production workstations, someone might want to TEST drive Lion but hold off deploying or using it until all the pieces from everyone are even TESTED with the shipping version (things did change as always). Give vendors a good 6 months (10.6.4 anyone?) and two point updates.

Yep I can't get Lion to see my FW1884, have all current updates and have tried to re-install drivers without success. Doesn't matter what mode Logic is in as the OS can't see my interface.

Any ideas?

Yup - I've just wasted a day & night with this....

Tascam site say 'Leopard or better' for the drivers but nothing.... Tried reinstalling Tascam drivers etc but nothing.

Had to get a new HD - re-install Snow Leopard then luckily, migrate the Lion install over to SL.

I'm here over 24 hours later thinking why do i both with the 'Apple' upgrade path they set for us? Let us believe everything works fine etc when it simply deosn't...

I couldn't fix the Tascam not being found by Lion so had to go back to SL... £20 back please Apple?

If anyone finds a way around this then please keep me posted.

I've contacted Tascam & await their reply but if it's down to the Mac Pro then I'm hoping it's just a software update they can release rather than the FW800 being at fault...

Fingers crossed

From the 1hour I spent in Lion it looked nice (apart from the upside down scrolling) and would like to move to it if i can.

Best of luck folks...

Yeah i saw it worked on your Macbook - which is a worry for me... My Mac Pro is March 2009 so maybe it was a problem with the early FW800 or something.

Can't blame you for not wanting to strip everything down & take it in.... They'll only scratch their heads anyway.
Wonder if this can be sorted with a software update or whether I've got a dud Mac Pro/Poo?

This is a communication problem.

Legendary.

A-B-C and you/me/us caught in the middle.

The number of times this happens makes it normal, so the right hand doesn't know what the left does.

There are huge labs, they don't need yours.

Adobe: well, Flash 10.3 wasn't working with the versions of Lion that we had to work with, so we publised "known issues" K.B. and now have a correction blog post.

Usually it is the reverse, something works, then breaks. Why? internal build changes.

Booting from Lion DVD will not work because of 3rd party hardware also.

F6 anyone? so I can load that SI 3132 driver for my PCIe SATA?

So (pardon my ignorance here) where do i go to let my problem known?

I was saying that the problem now is similar and a repeating problem.

Break support. Require new drivers and patches, even firmware to 3rd party devices.

Lack of testing until a product ships.

OS X shipping before ready and with bugs that were fixed in earlier builds.

Which is why I started with "wait six months" for vendors and for .2 releases.

not that that old problem was the same as now.

I have spent weeks testing to narrow a bug down only to find the finger pointing and having to bring in a middle man. And ready to dispute every claim. Then I had to test pre-released driver and firmware which took the next month. And 3 months later for production versions.

I was sure anyone would understand and that a concrete historical example would help, not confuse.
