    Nope. My old MacBook Air 2012 had USB 3.0 as well and worked just fine.

    Oh ok, i had heard USB3 can be a problem. I’ll shut up now then, and let a more knowledgable person take over.

    It is USB 3. I had the same issues with 3 laptops (MacBook Air 2013, Dell XPS 12 Convertible, HP EliteBook 6950p).
    Funny enough works in Serato, but Traktor gives me the problem with the S4. Only solution is to connect a POWERED (aka with a power cord) USB 2.0 Hub to the port and run your controller from there.

    It can’t be because of USB 3.0 since it worked fine on my MacBook Air 2012 which has USB 3.0. It must be something else within the USB controller of the new MBA.

    Again some USB 3 ports work others do not. It is a USB 3 problem. For example the XPS 12 did not work, the XPS 13 did… and the workaround I suggested did work.

    Probably has to do with the actual USB port hardware. Chipset manufacturers vary which may lead to different behaviour.

    Just out of curiosity which version of OS X 10.8 are you running? 10.8.5 being the latest… also, have you yet tried the Traktor Kontrol S4 Driver 2.5.3 for Mac? There’s so many threads on this subject at the NI Forums it’s difficult to tell what’s working for whom – some people imply the problem was ‘fixed’ in 10.8.5 and others not.

    I have the latest Traktor Pro and drivers installed.
    For Macs I have still 10.8.4 on it, but I do not think that matters, will upgrade to 10.8.5 prolly today.

    This is really annoying, especially the silence from NI.

    I have the latest OSX and I have tried both drivers for the S4. I have tried without power adapter as well. Nothing 🙁 I dont really want to buy a usb 2.0 hub, NI should just fix this.
