Hi I just bought a used MPC 1000 and I am having trouble connecting it to my Mac with USB. The MPC icon does not come up on the screen. I’ve tried a different USB, different ports, turning everything on and off. I tried the Audio MIDI set up and nothing pops up. I tried it on a friends Mac and the MPC icon showed up on the screen. It must be some setting on my computer right? Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Have you you the MPC into USB mode so that you can mount the CF, or are you just connect the USB and expecting the CF to mount?

I forget off hand, but I think you need to do this under MODE -> LOAD

Running JJOS 3 here, with the latest Mac OS and it works fine for me. I know this doesn't help you, but it might be worth checking the cable or trying a new one?

I did check with a few different USBs and still nothing. And all my USBs work with all of my other MIDI controllers.
