You should follow these instructions for homebrew cgminer on osx.

if you really tried everything they could be simply defective, or your macbook usb port are the problem, can you change it with another pc/notebook to try it?

Unfortunately not. I have some U1 miners that i have tried and they work.. It is just the Rockminers... the two i purchased are brand new unopened upon arrival.

Did you try another OS such as linux or windows? I think those will be quite a bit more popular as far as running them.  And you will find more documentation.

You could always use bootcamp and install windows or linux to try them with.   I am just guessing, but I doubt mac was that popular of a OS for them.

Ruu \o/
using CGMiner 4.3,
That's ancient and the rockminer support didn't even exist back then. Why? Grab the latest cgminer.

Hey guys, I did my best to keep off forums and I have finally reached my wits end... I have purchased 2 Rockminer New R-BOX 100-110 Gh/s Miners. I am using a 08 Macbook Pro with OS x 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). I have tried everything under the sun for the rockminers to detect with no luck.. I have tried specifically probing the port, using MacMiner, using BFGMiner 5.1, using CGMiner 4.3, SiLabs USB Driver Disk, I even installed homebrew, Xcode 4.2, I have tried several different pools thinking that was the issue.. everything from BAN, bitsolo, to Bitminter. I am just at wits end on what I can do to fix this... any ideas? (Please forgive my typing/spelling ive been sitting in front of this computer for hours and it is 0230 am now...

I thank you again guys!

To add to this I've ran the search script with still nothing -S cd/cu.USBtoUART   I've also tried throwing manual flags such as -S rockminer:all -d?
