Luv2Scrap2 - I don't remember, actually. My MINI CUT from the first time I tried, though. Did you follow the instructions that came with your MINI? Perhaps it needs to be UPDATED? Or, the Drivers INSTALLED? While you have the MINI plugged into your computer and logged on to CCR, go to the HELP screen in CCR and click on INSTALL DRIVERS. There, click on MINI and see what it does for you. Char

I FIXED MINE!!!!! I would turn my machine on and the lights started blinking immediately. Everything on my Mac was up to day and all wires were good. All I could think to do was take my frustration out on that blinking light!!! I held down both buttons for about 10 seconds and they both shone solid green after that. I let it sit just like that for about 30 seconds and then I unplugged it. I unhooked ALL of the wires from both cricut and Mac, just to be safe. I then restarted my Mac. After it bootedi plugged the USB to my mac then to my cricut. I then plugged the electrical cord back into the cricut. I held my breath and turned it on.... To my utter surprise, IT WORKED!!!!! I did the happy dance in my kitchen afterwards. I hope this works for y'all. I actually did this twice and the first time it prompted me to update my firmware AGAIN. It started working after I did it the second time and was not prompted for an update. Best of luck. This thing is nifty!

Click the below as instructions to fix this issue is in that thread. Until a fix has been released, you have to down grade CCR to update your Mini. Post 5 http://main.cricut.com/c...ind=lastpost#post1461982Edited by user Sunday, July 15, 2012 9:06:55 AM(UTC)
