I feel dumb, but I've been going round and round with my new 2pac for hours. Admitted noob. Received stick miner 2pac and powered USB hub with usb fan for cooling. I am on my MacBook pro and can't seem to get it to recognize the device. Having trouble with configuration as a result.

Tried running the code mentioned in the Q&A and it did not resolve. Getting varying messages when I run MacMiner. What am I overlooking here? My software is pointed at the correct mining pool address and when it connects it says No Devices Found. I have been digging through pages and pages on here trying to figure out what's wrong. Can anyone help with this specific issue?

The instructions in this thread cover different flavors of Unix and Windows. If you're looking for easy, you should run Bootcamp and install Windows in it, download the binaries on the first page, and go from there.

If you want it to run natively on your Mac, you need to build the version of cgminer from the source code linked on the first page. This requires some comfort with software development tools.

You could also install a linux variant (like Ubuntu) on Bootcamp and run that with the instructions. Most of the people in this thread run it on raspberry pi.
