Mac OS X Lion support
Just wondering does this app support the upcoming Lion OS from Apple? The OS is coming very soon if if there initial problems then Ill stick to Snow Leopard.

Re: Mac OS X Lion support
I am not aware of any problems just yet, but Lion is not out. If you're worried, wait until it is and I'll put up a post about it.

Re: Mac OS X Lion support
I'm testing right now.. As such there's no error in the app, but the drivers might be a problem. Currently MacDive cannot find a USB-port connection through the SmartInterface drivers.anthodiver wrote:Just wondering does this app support the upcoming Lion OS from Apple?

(don't know about the official Suunto cabel drivers though)
Perhaps because the latest drivers are optimized for Tiger and not Leopard/Snow Leopard.
Will have a chat with Olaf from SmartInterfaces about it.

Re: Mac OS X Lion support
I upgraded yesterday to OS X Lion and now I cant download any dives. I tried reinstalling both drivers (Smartinterface and Original Suunto) but neither of them work.
Please HELP!!!!

Re: Mac OS X Lion support
Just installed Lion as well. MacDive reports "Import Error: Could not detect a valid serial port" when I try importing from my Suunto Zoop. I tried reinstalling the driver from http://www.customidea.com/shop/support/ ... d.mpkg.zip, but that didn't help.g.cacchione wrote:I upgraded yesterday to OS X Lion and now I cant download any dives.

Re: Mac OS X Lion support
I'm not sure if the Custom Idea driver supports Lion - it may not.
Lion only came out yesterday - you would be best contacting them and asking if their driver supports Lion, and if not, when it will.

Horray! The following USB serial driver works with my Suunto Zoop and MacDive on Mac OSX 10.7 Lion: http://www.silabs.com/Support%20Documen ... Driver.zip. (It creates the serial device /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART)

Re: Mac OS X Lion support
I can also confirm that my Gekko is working on one (not both) of my USB ports with the CustomIdea cable. It only works with the front-most port, not the one closest to the power cord.
I have not tried the drivers mentioned in the post above as (to be honest) I really don't want to f*ck things up right now as its high season for diving for me.

Re: Mac OS X Lion support
The driver above is the same as the one Custom Idea links to, only it's a newer version with 64 bit support. When I installed the driver it presented itself as an upgrade to the already installed 32 bit driver, and a new install of the 64 bit driver. SI Labs are the manufacturer of the CP210x chipset within the Custom Idea cable, thus the driver should be perfectly safe.miraclemax wrote:I can also confirm that my Gekko is working on one (not both) of my USB ports with the CustomIdea cable.
