intel yea guess time to upgrade my mac- i think i have to donate a kidney, re finance the house and sell the cat so i can upgrade my mac!!!!!! lol
Might be cheaper to find an old XP license and use Virtualbox. It can be told to 'capture' certain USB devices so that they appear in the virtual machine.
(ARGH. Stupid USPS.. my eVIC has been stalled in NC for 2 days! It was supposed to arrive yesterday...)
Macs have been notorious for years with getting weird settings wedged in the pram - it is nothing to do with the eVic. (Most recently I had to do that to get it to reliably see a usb ethernet; otherwise I had to reboot every time I plugged it in..) It doesn't impact anything to reset it and it might help.
Back in my OS9 days, I had to zap the PRAM a lot. With my Macbook Pro, I have never needed to do it....
You don't need a new Mac! Just a newer version of OS X! Get Leopard if you want!
I posted earlier in this thread and still no Mac/Evic recognition. I've tried uninstalling 3 times so far. I run osx 10.6 (snow Leopard) on. MacBook Pro with Intel chip. Finally ran boot camp to get the firmware updated. No problems updating on the windows side. Like many Mac users, I'm frustrated that the Mac version simply doesn't seem to work. It would help if joy etech would give out specifics on what systems and hardware this works on. I've written to them and have not gotten any response. If they are away for the holiday, an auto response would at least let customers know this. It's just frustrating as hell.
I downloaded and updated last night on a Late 2011 MacBook Pro. It was easy as pie. I was quite happy that I didn't have to turn on my PC.
Which OS version are you using?
Maybe the software only works with post 10.6 (10.7 (Lion) and 10.8 (Mountain Lion)) versions?
If you have an eVic and a MAC, please chime in and let's see if it is OS specific.
BTW, I'm not alone in sticking with SL:
OS X Snow Leopard shows signs of becoming Apple's XP - Computerworld

I'm still on Lion.
Maybe that is my problem
I bought the original Macbook Pro (Intel Core Duo) in 2006, and upgraded to Snow Leopard a few years back. I am not able to upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion due to harware limitations, and I am certainly not going to buy a new Mac for my eVic.
Oh well, it looks like bootcamp into XP for me
Has ANYONE successfully used MVR on Snow Leopard?

I have a feeling they're only testing this on Lion or M. Lion. May be some new code they rely on.
FWIW I couldn't get it to work on my older 2006 MBP but that had nothing to do with the app. Turns out the battery is totally swollen... 8-o Works fine on my (work's) retina MBP..
Mine works, I'm using a mac mini 2012/Mountain lion, I'll check my 2009 MBP which is running lion soon too.
Ok. I upgraded my MacBook Pro from snow leopard to Mountain Lion. MVP now works. So I guess snow leopard people are out of luck with this software.
Yeah I think it has to do with MVR running in 64 bit, the older macs run I think before 2007 run in 32 bit. Snow Leopard was the las OS to run both 32 and 64 bit.
Good news (potentially).
I got an email from Joyetech, and attached is a copy of MVR that is supposed to work (with Snow Leopard). I will try and load it up this weekend and report back.
It's nice when a manufacturer cares about customer satisfaction after a sale. Panasonic doesn't (google ten blinks of death), and Cardo (makers of the Cardo Scala Rider, G4, and G9) doesn't either. Both said ..... you when their products failed due to design problems.
