Hi all, i am sitting here praying that someone can help, especially a complete computer moron!
Long story short, I lent my brand new Axe 2 to a friend who was laying down tracks for a upcoming album, and I got it back, turned it on, and every preset in bank A is completely GONE, every preset is totally blank
!
My problem is that I have only ever used these things live, never plugged one into a computer because I dont use it for that at all, and its fair to say my computer literacy skills at best are bloody terrible![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Anyway, I have plugged my axe 2 into my computer, tried to upload / install the latest ax firmware (I have no idea what I am talking about), on the ax i have gone into the utilities menu and tried to update, the axe screen says 'Awaiting File'.
My computer (mac) wont download Axe FX 2 usb driver, is there something I need to install to my computer first? The mac says it cannot install as there is no software found, what the hell does all this mean? Am i supposed to install something else? IM GOING BALD (ER!) And secondly is there a way I can retrieve the original factory presets, I am basically trying to get the unit back to 'day one' condition, my final problem being that I upgraded from the ultra to the axe 2, I have never used this unit once, today was my first time turning the damn thing on![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Any help or advice will be hugely appreciated, please dont hold my rubbish computer skills against me![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
