I just downloaded the latest version of the app on both my HTC One and my MBP. Its working great on the HTC, I can now do everything I need too in the field on the little phone screen! Well done freefly. I can't however seem to install the latest version of my MBP, running 10.7.5. I double click the package and get a 'ALERT: can't be installed on this computer." Any ideas?
It’s likely that your Mac’s security settings are stopping it, as it’s an “unsigned” package. Just go to your System Preferences’ “Security and Privacy” section, click the lock and enter your Mac’s password, then click on the General tab and you should be able to allow the package to launch from there.
I forget how to do this with a normal mouse but if you 'right' click on the package and then run it will work fine. I use a Wacom tablet. It isn't a 'recognized' package. Might be an option-click or command-click to allow it to run.
I experienced this as well. It's not a security settings thing, as I've always had that feature turned off (it always seemed like it was built to protect your parents from doing something they're not supposed to). This is what pops up (attached) OSX 10.7.5 Mac Pro
Ahh...you probably need to update your OS X. 10.7.5 is quite old now. But I know that’s a rat’s nest of complications, and if you’re at 10.7 because of some software or hardware you’re using you may be hosed. In the past I’ve configured an external drive with the latest OS X to boot my machine if I had such an issue. But you’re probably better off moving up if you can. EDIT: I just checked the installer, and it says it’ll install on 10.7 or greater. So maybe the problem is the version of Java that you have installed? I’m totally guessing here, though.
Steve is correct, that very nebulous massage is related to an incompatibility between the app installer and the OS. Installer runs fine in 10.9 btw.
Sadly, in the case of my Mac Pro, 10.7.5 is as high as it will go. It is ancient classic. While I obviously don't take it on jobs, I use it at home when I have the M10 up on the bench for various things. I can live without having the latest configurator on that machine for the time being, but I thought it was worth bringing up.
I'm still having to run 10.6.8 on my video editing Mac Pro Classic (aka "Big Silver Box") because Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 apparently had some issues with Loin [sic], and Mountain Loin [sic]. However we've been testing and FCP 7.0.3 seems to run fine on a late 2013 Mac Pro (aka "Da Trashcan") with Mavericks. Also we were testing last week and it looks like FCp 7.0.3 will indeed now work on the Mac Pro Big Silver Box under Mavericks. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the issue was they way that the Loins handled the GPUs. Either way, Thank You Apple. But come back SteveJ. Your people need you. Andy.
Andy, be careful with updating an older Mac Pro's OS. In particular, certain video cards are no longer supported on newer OS's. I had to buy a whole new video board (very expensive!) when I made the mistake up upgrading my older Mac Pro. Do some research, and make sure you know for certain it'll work. Downgrading an OS is all but impossible.
Yeah....we've proceeded very cautiously using Carbon Copy Clones of the system disk and then doing upgrades on the clone and booting from the clone. Andy.
Right. OS.. pain in the butt.. time to go buy a new macbook pro with usb3.. this ones getting tired it seems
Don't know if this helps, but I've cracked screens on 2 Nexus 7's ( In Cases ) since owning the MoVI. Both broke on set. IOS would be nice, but in the meantime I'm now using the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, little more solid and cheaper. I always bring a laptop on set with the Configurator as well. I'd say look for something that can take a little beating more than something cheap when it comes to the Android stuff.
