are you remembering to put your mpc in usb mode? you gotta MOUNT it first...

or maybe you don't have a flash card in there?

Na man, this happens with a bunch of MPC's and macs. Shut down the Mac and start over.

With the MPC on make sure its already set to USB.
Then start the mac
Give it a few....itll find it. For some reason my 1k took FOREVER to connect to my mac mini when I first got it.

That is very common. I definitely know what you guys are talking about. Happens with my 2500 periodically also.
