Apogee mic does not record

Can anyone help me with the following problem?
I connected my ‘‘mic’’ and tried over and over to make it work.
First problem was that i even didn’t see the activation light on the mic working, but i solved that via: “tab”>device setup >vst audio system and choose soundcard ASio and buffer size.
Allthough the mic seems to be activated (flashing light goes) it still doesn’t record. (selected track for recording is mono off course).
Cubase version: 7.5.

Thanks in advance.

You are on Mac I take it??

The light is supposed to turn blue when active/green when recording…no mention of flashing…what colour are you seeing.

Hi Grim and thanks for the post. Yes, i am on (i)mac.
it was blue indeed yes. But i am still stuck at this moment. No activation light and off course still not recording.
