Topic: Mac JB3 users: WARNING

[John Kelly]

It appears the latest iTunes update has broken my jb3 connectivity.  It will still show up fine in iTunes, but I can't play any of the tracks or transfer the tracks to my computer.  I'm currently in search of the previous version and I can let you know if I find anything.

So yeah, don't update!

Well I found 4.7.0, and it's working again.  If anyone downloaded 4.7.1 and wants to go back, let me know and I can send you the old one.

Thanks for the warning, I already fucked up my ipod because I updated it and it was formatted for windows, doh.  So i dont wanna fuck up my jb3

Well it wont actually mess up your JB3, you just wont be able to transfer files.

So give me the details on the past transfer process with 4.70 could you build a file in the library and burn to AIFF ? please give me the details. I'm ready to jump to jb3 as long as I can work with mac cause I don't plan on changing that part of my life. I just checked my version and it updated so I may be looking to step back.  I've done quit a few seaches on the whole jb3>mac thing and it just seems like it's a kharma thing    No real definate answers.

I don't really understand your question.  Build a file in the library?

The iTunes plugin for the JB3 allows you to drag the recordings from the JB3 to your Mac using iTunes.  I'm not sure exactly how it's a karma thing, it works for me (and everyone else I know with the mac/jb3 combo) every time.

Only downside is that it wont work with firewire, only USB.  So transfers are kind of slow, but they're still 100% reliable.
