eVic MVR 1.2 Released for Mac!

[pcrdude]

Maybe that will work. The permissions for "everyone" are set for read only. @phamito, it would not communicate with the evic at all, so upgrade to 1.2 was impossible (even with code.bin on the desktop).

I will post in this thread if the permissions trick works.

What model mac/OS are you using? I'm wondering if the USB port isn't putting out enough power. Is the evic charging ok on that port?

It's an early Macbook Pro (replacable battery) running Snow Leapord. I used Bootcamp to boot into XP, and performed the update from the same USB port. All show charging when in OSX. If it isn't the permissions setting, I am at a loss......

Its not working for me tried everything mentioned above i get the cant comunicate error.

I'm on my phone right now but I'll look into this when I get home so I can try to help y'all out. (Take notes people, that is the ONLY time you'll see me say "y'all")

You ARE the judge!!!

(At least you didn't write "All Y'All)

Wow, didn't know you could install XP on a Macbook. Gotta try that now.

I was a Bootcamp beta user.



You have to buy Windows (of your fovorite variety), and partition your hard drive, but it works well since Mac went to Intel processors.

OK, the permissions were all set to read and write in OSX. The MVR software gave the same error, and would not "see" the eVic.

On the XP side, it mostly still works, although it forgot who I was, and didn't have any puff, watts, volts data.

???

Here's a clue. Nothing mounts when the eVic is plugged into the OSX side, and Disk Utility doesn't see it. The only time I ever had this problem before was when an external hard drive wouldn't mount because the power supply was going bad.

Shouldn't a disk icon show up when I plug the eVic into the computer? I think it isn't mounting and therefore cannot be seen by the OS.

Thoughts?

Still waiting for mine, but I suspect it isn't a disk. In "System Information" (Apple-menu -> About this Mac -> More Info -> System Report) you can check the USB page to see if it is being recognized by the OS. If not, then there is no chance the software will see it. (If so, there are still lots of reasons it might not work, but that eliminates one problem..)

It shouldn't mount because it's not a disk. Haven't gotten a chance to play with it yet but will ASAP. Sorry for the delay.

Can you let us know which mac, and the OS version you are using?

Thanks

 

[Judge Dredd]

pcrdude, are you plugging it in via a local USB port or are you using a "tap?"

 

[matcas]

Im running 10.7.5 still cant comunicate macbook pro straight into the local usb. Im wondering if its the cable now. Ill have to go buy a new one at the computer store next.

 

[pcrdude]

I tried all three USB ports. It worked on the same laptop when booted into xp, so the port and cable are good.

You'll need to upgrade to at least 10.5. Also, is your processor PowerPC or Intel?
