Hi there, Please help! I'm using a mac book 2.2 ghz 120gb osx 10.4.10 I've had for about 1.5 years, its been fine until recently. When I plug it in via firewire the green light comes on, so its getting power, but the yellow firewire light doesn't come on. And the interface isn't being picked up by the mac, so when i go to inputs and outputs to select the sound card it isn't there. So I'm assuming this could be a problem with my firewire port?

I've rebooted osx and the tried various different versions of alesis drivers but nothing has worked and its very frustrating! It seemed to be fine until i updated to osx 10. Boost Volume Windows 10. 4.10. Any suggestions please. I too am having similar problems. The Alesis io 26 works fine with my PC running Windows XP (with the original Alesis drivers). Up til recently it worked fine with my laptop too - using Vista and the latest Alesis drivers.

Now with the laptop connected the firewire light does not show and sometimes when I plug in the Firewire cable even the power light goes out. I was convinced that it was a Vista problem until I read your post. I have tried disabling the wireless network since that can create a conflict and initially that seemed to work. So the nest thing I might try is to get s different firewire cable.

But you're right, it could be the port itself, although in my device manager it says that it's working properly. I'm new to posting on here but not to coming here. I also have the same problem with. I've had mine since 2007 and it wasn't until yesterday that the FireWire connectivity light stopped working, which resulted in OS X not recognizing it.

Specs on my computer: Macbook Mid-2007 White OS X 10.6.3 2.16ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 120 GB HD 2 GB Ram Logic 8 for my DAW I've rarely used the AC adaptor with io 26 so I rely on bus power. The bus still powers the io 26 but no FireWire recognition. I've tried several different things troubleshoot the issue: Un/Re-install drivers, older drivers, verified and repaired disk permissions within OS X and even opened the io 26 up to check for loose connections. All yielded no solutions. Up until yesterday, I was a huge fan of the io 26. For the price, I was very impressed with all the features it had to offer and its portability.

Now that its not working, I've lost my options for recording, in-ear monitoring and a few other things Has anyone made any progress on this? Wow i'm having the same problem i have been using this Interface since 07 on windows XP SP3 i've tried reinstalling the drivers, System Restore,even tried to install it on another PC, bought a new firewire cord, etc. My Maudio firewire interface works, so this tells me that it's not the card or wire but i called Alesis Tech support and they told me that i need to have a firewire card with a TI (texas Instrument) chipset but why would i all of a sudden need this pacific type of FW card and i've been using my regular old one for 3 years?

They recommended these cards Belkin Model F5U503 and Adaptec AFW-4300A it's been hell trying to find these cards in Computer Stores i don't like to order stuff online and i still haven't gotten it will keep yall posted when i do. Strange that we all seem to be having this problem. Its been a while now since i originally posted and luckily was lent another interface by a friend. That needs to go back now so i'm back to firewire problem! I took the io26, my mac, my cables etc to a friends house on the weekend. I have ruled out any problem at all with my mac.

Infact as i say i tried another soundcard via firwire and my mac picks that up fine. But it still won't recognise the io26. I have no option but to send it back to alesis for repair. Obviously i'm annoyed about this especially as I'm not someone who records every day/ night.

I probably only got to use it 30 or so times in the year and half I had it before it broke down! Obviously its out of warranty. Not best please for the money! Although I loved it when it worked!

If anyone else has any updates on fixing these issues, please post. I have the same issue, brand new Alesis io26, brand new iMac with OS 10.6.3. Downloaded all the latest drivers from Alesis website. I find that when the firewire light is on, the Mac picks up the io26 fine, but as soon as I switch the Mac off, and back on the next day, the firewire light does not come on, and the Mac cannot see the Alesis. I have to physically unplug the firewire and plug it back in. Sometimes it takes a few tries, before the firewire light comes on again and the Mac picks it up. Then all is fine again, until I switch off the Mac again, or even put it to sleep.
