Re: [Elecraft] K3S Firmware Update for Mac

[David Fleming via Elecraft]

Yep, you're good. Sometimes the window position can get hosed. Not sure why. 
That's why I added that menu item.

Glad we figured it out!

I then sent all new files to the K3S.

So, I guess I am done?

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Firmware Update for Mac

[David Herring]

Right click on said icon in the icon bar and choose “Show all windows”  — the 
Utility’s main pane should appear alone in the middle of your screen and you 
should then be able to click on it and use it.

 John, I’ve had this happen to me before on other things…so launch the 
 utility, go up to the top and under Elecraft K3 Utility, and choose “About 
 K3 Utility”
 
 Does the “About" pane show up anywhere? And does it bring with it the 
 actual utility pane with it, by chance? 
 
 Like I say, this has happened before where opening something else in an 
 app makes the app show up.  Worth a shot.

 But moving it to Applications would be well advised.

 Initially I thought I had recreated your problem, in that when I 
 double-clicked seemingly nothing happened,  but I discovered that 
 there is a “click to accept license terms and conditions” pane that 
 appears under everything else on the desktop. Once I found that and 
 accepted their terms, the app popped right up. 
 

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Firmware Update for Mac

David,

Yes, the K3 icon appears on the icon bar with a dot beneath it.  Clicking it 
makes K3 Utility appear at the top of the screen.  Unfortunately, there’s 
nothing useful there.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Firmware Update for Mac

[David Herring]

It feels like the utility pane is just simply “hidden” (one can do that with 
command-h, why one would want to I don’t know ;-). ) Anyway, when the Utility 
is running, is there an icon with a dot under it in the icon bar (presumably) 
at the bottom of your screen? If there is, click on it and see if that would 
bring the Utility pane up.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Firmware Update for Mac

[John Stengrevics]

David,

The “About” pane does show up.  It offers the user to read the agreement, but 
NOT to agree.

The Utility pane does NOT show up.

Tried it from Applications but, same result.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Firmware Update for Mac

[David Herring]

OK, from these answers we can deduce that the app is actually running. The 
question is where the pane is...

John, I’ve had this happen to me before on other things…so launch the utility, 
go up to the top and under Elecraft K3 Utility, and choose “About K3 Utility”

Does the “About" pane show up anywhere? And does it bring with it the actual 
utility pane with it, by chance? 

Like I say, this has happened before where opening something else in an app 
makes the app show up.  Worth a shot.

Regarding location of the app, yes it absolutely should be in Applications, but 
I just launched mine from Downloads and it still works. But moving it to 
Applications would be well advised.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Firmware Update for Mac

[Jack Brindle via Elecraft]

What directory is the app located in? If on the desktop, move it to the 
Applications folder. In Catalina certain directories are restricted - you have 
to give permission to access files there. This sounds like the app is unable to 
access some of its resources.

By the way, you have two of us who are associated with Elecraft involved now. 
W4SMT is the application author. He knows the app inside and out.

Jack, W6FB

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Firmware Update for Mac

[John Stengrevics]

Thanks to all for taking the time to help.  Here are answers to your questions:

Jack W6FB 
Version 1.19.9.6
Several times it showed ”initiatializing” then nothing

David  N5DCH
Yes, warned about running something downloaded from the web.   I click Open, 
the app appears on the dock
Right click on the app:  Elecraft K3 Utility V1 19.9.6 -S/N 10755 on usb serial 
- A503xyao at 38400 bps

David  W4SMT
The K3 Utility menu appears but there is very little under it:  About K3 
Utility, Services, Hide, Quit
I’ve rebooted countless times

Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Firmware Update for Mac

[David Fleming via Elecraft]

Hi John,
Does the K3 Utility menu appear at the top of the screen when you double click 
the app? Are you sure you’re clicking on the actual app and not the .ZIP file?
Have you tried a reboot? The most current version (1.19.9.6) should run fine on 
Catalina. 
David, W4SMT

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Firmware Update for Mac

[David Herring]

John,

When you try to run the utility, has MacOS ever at any point popped up and 
warned you that you’re trying to run something downloaded from the Internet?

Also, will you right click on the app, choose “get info” and check that it is 
22,545,264 bytes in size, and that is says it’s “kind” is “application?”

73,
David - N5DCH

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Firmware Update for Mac

[Jack Brindle via Elecraft]

Just to make sure - you are trying the latest version of the utility, freshly 
downloaded from the web site, right? If not, then go to the website and 
download it. Only the latest version is Catalina compatible.

Now, exactly what happens when you install and try to run the Utility? 

73!

 The utility is 1.19.9.6, Sept 12, 2019, not the same version as the

 Just to let you know it will work great..

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Firmware Update for Mac

Hi David,

That box asking to accept terms doesn’t come up for me.

I’ve emailed tech support again (twice yesterday) - not holding my breath.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Firmware Update for Mac

[David Herring]

I just downloaded the K3 Utility version 1.19.9.6 from the Elecraft website. I 
installed it on my macOS Catalina machine, double clicked it and it ran just 
fine. 

Initially I thought I had recreated your problem, in that when I double-clicked 
seemingly nothing happened,  but I discovered that there is a “click to accept 
license terms and conditions” pane that appears under everything else on the 
desktop. Once I found that and accepted their terms, the app popped right up. 

If you just installed this app, maybe dig around under things to see if it’s 
waiting for input from you somewhere. 

Otherwise, a quick note to Elecraft support may be in order.  Also I think the 
author of the app may monitor this reflector and might respond at some point if 
we don’t get it going for you before long.

73,
David - N5DCH

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Firmware Update for Mac

Thanks Bill.  That’s really odd.  It won’t run on my MacBook Pro with Catalina 
same as yours.  

I assume you just double click it?

[Elecraft] K3S Firmware Update for Mac

[John Stengrevics]

I have downloaded the latest K3S Utility.  However, I don’t see an option for 
updating firmware on the Utility.  

I’m probably overlooking something simple.  Appreciate any suggestions.
