Gonzbull Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Well here's hoping that the Inateck card works with my LaCie on USB 3. I was using FW800. It would mount but the folders would be empty. I think FL1100 cards should be sweet. Link to comment

I had my mind set on the Inateck anyway. Cheers for the info. I wasn't sure about the card before. Only started searching after the FW issue over the weekend. Link to comment

I wasn't sure about the card before. Only started searching after the FW issue over the weekend. The FL1100 (which is the chipset in the Inateck) is the chipset used in the trashcan-shaped mac pro (do not pour your coffee into the top opening!). So this chipset will be supported natively in mac os's.

aeo12 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Having problems with puddletag installed on mac OS X since updating to 10.11. Tagging seems to work OK including adding artwork, but the the auto-numbering and action pop-up windows won't close after use and if I minimize the main puddletag window, I can't re-open it. I'm getting these python related error messages: puddletag Version: 1.0.5 Locale: en_US 2015-10-06 12:12:47.160 Python[9616:3310907] Metadata.framework [Error]: couldn't get the client port 2015-10-06 12:12:50.944 Python[9616:3307871] modalSession has been exited prematurely - check for a reentrant call to endModalSession: 2015-10-06 12:12:50.945 Python[9616:3307871] -[NSApplication runModalSession:]: Use of freed session detected.

Fortunately the WineBottler version of MP3Tag is working fine on 10.11, but I do slightly prefer puddletag over MP3Tag so I'd like to get puddletag working smoothly again. Link to comment
macdaddysinfo Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 What is your issue exactly? I've used XLD on EC to transcode (DSD -> iTunes+) without issues but haven't ripped a CD yet. With cog, the program will not play 2496 wav files and 1644 flac files (only ones I have happened to try). The same files played fine through vlc. I brought up xld since I know it utilizes the accuraterip modes, and a previous post mentioned that using accuraterip through dbpoweramp was not working in El Capitan... Link to comment
macdaddysinfo Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Got a chance to rip a cd or two via xld/el capitan today, and it worked fine, though the status window did black out at the beginning and the program took a little longer to start, the accuraterip process worked fine... Fwiw, I use one of those Apple super drives with my MacBook Air... Don't know if this helps you mwheelerk, but I figured I would update the thread... Link to comment

If you were using XLD I had not had an issue with it. dbpoweramp for mac however had a broken link in El Capitan that didn't use Accuraterip. They had a fix posted today but there is still an issue with that now about being able to read the drive offset. "A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open."

miguelito Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 One word of caution: my USB drive (a backup) unmounts by itself at times now. However, it's doing this even on the mac native USB2 ports. This is what seems to be a widespread issue with USB on El Capitan. I don't think the USB3 card is to blame, but you never know... I did a NVRAM reset as suggested elsewhere and this seems to have fixed the disk unmounting issue, or so it seems.

miguelito Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 USB3 is working after NVRAM reset? I have a 2010 Mac Pro. USB3 with an old FL1009 PCIe card worked like a champ through Yosemite. USB3 stopped working with the FL1009-based card when I upgraded to El Capitan. I got a replacement card based on the FL1100 (which is the USB3 chipset in the latest Mac Pro). This works fine except some USB3 disks sporadically unmount and remount. This was quite reproducible as I have a backup routine and it happened every single time. I read about it and someone suggested resetting the NVRAM (don't they always?). Anyway, after doing this the disks are not unmounting anymore.

AnotherSpin Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I have mac mini late 2012. After upgrading to El Capitan there is no USB 3 in system report. And, Western Digital USB3 external HD drive is not visible any more. Corning USB optical doesn't work too. Returned back to Yosemite, everything work. Should we wait for Jobs second coming or they at Apple will work it out independently? Link to comment

Should we wait for Jobs second coming or they at Apple will work it out independently? I have an i7 2012 mini as well - dedicated to music - and I have had no such issues I'm afraid. Try resetting the NVRAM I guess. There are many reports of USB issues with El Capitan, Apple has rewritten the USB implementation, or so it seems. I would expect many of these issues to be addressed in an update.

There are many reports of USB issues with El Capitan, Apple has rewritten the USB implementation, or so it seems. I would expect many of these issues to be addressed in an update. Now I need to decide, will I wait for system update or go through clean installation process again and taking chance with NVRAM reset. Not sure there is any sound quality change from Yosemite to El Capitan, so waiting for an update seem to be a preferable option. Link to comment
mwheelerk Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I don't know if this is El Capitan or iOS 9 at issue. I use Notes to keep a list of music I'm looking for. Previously if I made a change on my iPhone or iPad it would update that note on my MacBook and vice versa. Now it seems they have a mind of there own. I've looked at settings for Notes on all devices and simply don't know what might be the issue. "A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open." Frank Zappa Link to comment
