Something hosed in Mac OSX 10.2.8 Rewire
Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
I just installed 3.0.4 and rewire is not working. I load Live! and I get the message that the rewire engine is installed, but when I start Reason, it has audio configured to the soundcard, and there is no Reason input to select.
Also, I can freely quit Live without quitting Reason.
I always start Live! first. I have rebooted.
Me thinks I need to fix a corrupted or missing file.
Anyone have suggestions?

There is no Reason input, before or after I start reason. It gives me a message that the Rewire master is running, but there does not appear to be one running once live is started.
I just installed 3.0.4, and it still is not working. I think this happened when I installed 3.0.2.

I too am having this problem: No Reason in the Rewire list
Same problem here too: no Reason in the pop-up list: Just "none" or "Master out". I have taken all the precaustions vis-a-vis this website and Propellerheads'. Not a mention of it, even in the documentation!
Is the problem in Reason? I don't have another "Slave" program to try Live with.
A couple of guys need help here!
Thanks!

I suspect some file got corrupted, I just don't know which one. I just don't have a clue which one.
Any ideas?

Are you guys running mac or windows?
On mac os x the first step is to repair privaleges (sp?). If that's done, and the problem still exists, setup a new user account and see if the problem still exits. If not, it means preferences are corrupt somewhere in the original user account and the solution is to trash preferences.
I'm not on windows - yet - so I can't help you out if its a windows related issue.

I think we're both mac.
Where is the preferences file? What do I delete. I'm assuming a new one will be created when I start Live, if I blow the old one away?

You are correct - a new one will be created when you hose the first one.
BUT
First - Repair priveleges using disc utility program
Then - setup a new user/test account to see if its the privelages in the first place
Finally - delete privelages if it seems to be the case
The privalges are in root/library/preferences
and in ~user/library/preferences
and are designated with preferencesname.plist
If you search under my name, you should find some posts where I detailed mac os debugging - it's been so long, I can't remember exactly all of them.

Rewire problem
OK, I tried the New User option (I am Mac OS X Panther - 10.2). Actually went into another User's account and attempted it. New set of Prefs must have been created because it asked to reinsert the Reason Discs and enter the Registration number.
But, alas, square 1 again: same situation.
I notice the dimmed green light in Reason for Rewire, so do I somehow set that? I can't seem to access it within Reason.
Oh, woe is me...

Trashed both prefs for Reason and Live
Thanks for the tips, but not working. I trashed the prefs for both Reason and Live, relaunched and....square 1 again.
Familiar with Reason? The audio out device sits on Audio card(CoreAudio Built-in...). How can I get the rewire to light up? Or, is that for the reversal of Master slave (Live being the slave)?.
Searched under "steve-o", but nothing ultra related.
Thanks

I too tried this.
Question. Is garageband a live master? I tried to start Live once when garageband was accidently started, and it said there is a rewire master running... That's the only app that I know could be the culprit.
Anyways, quit garageband and restated live and got no error message.
Still... reason does not show up as a rewire slave.

I'm going to assume that you guys repaired permissions....hmmmm....trashed the live .cfg file....it means that Live's rewire engine was not properly installed.
In the finder search for rewire. On my system, rewire is located in the following directory
root/library/application support/rewire
If the problem is with live, it means that Live cannot access this directory. If it is not with live, download the free plogue bidule - www.plogue.com, which can also function as a rewire slave, and see if live recognizes that. If it does, it means the problem is with the reason intall. If it doesn't it means the problem is with live. On a side note with plogue bidule you will be able to record VSTi's into live.
in the os x live 3.03 install there is an app supposed to fix any problems that live may have accessing the application support directory called 'Verify Permissions' which is what I recommended doing with the Disk Utility App. It couldn't hurt to run that app as well.
