Title: Mac JB3 users: WARNING
Post by: John Kelly on January 14, 2005, 10:49:00 AM

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.

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.
