    At last, a use-case which has nudged me into wanting a wider (or more) display(s)

    I’ve no idea whether this was running on a 10.5.8 or 10.6.8 setup (I’m leaning toward 10.6.8 for no better reason than when this clip was posted and how Dropbox is still showing as working), but it looks like Pro Tools 8.

    Mbox 'drawing too much USB power'

    My Mbox works perfectly well but I lost the USB cable. It does not have another power source. I've tried two different USB cables, including a brand new one, on two different Macbooks (Macbook Pro early 2015, and Macbook White 4,1 Intel Core 2 Duo) and always get the below error message. I'm not...
