PROBLEM w/ 896HD

Hi,

I just bought a used 896 HD.
I made sure it was working before I bought it.
The previous owner used it with an older macbook and Logic.
I want to use it with my MacBook Pro (2011) - Yosemite OS 10.10.1 on Logic.
However, the problem is not with Logic:

My Macbook DOESN'T recognize the MOTU 896 HD.

Things I already did:

1- Downloaded the most recent update of the driver.
2- Tried to use another computer.
3- Tried to use another firewire cable.

I know it works because I can plug a microphone and I'll be able to hear something if I plug headphones.



Is my Macbook too recent?
I use a Firewire cable 800to400 (800 in my Macbook; 400 in the 896HD)

Is there anyone here who can help me out?

Thanks,

There are two applications. One is Apple's Audio MIDI Setup.app in the Utilities folder; the other is MOTU Audio Setup in the Applications folder.

Does the 896 show up in both applications when the unit is on?
However, the problem is not with Logic:
If it shows up in both apps above, it is likely in the setup. See the manual:
