First, I don't own a Mac or use a Mac, so weigh my advice accordingly...

The chip in most programming cables that report having a Prolific type
chip is an unauthorized copy. The latest Prolific device driver is
(intentionally) not compatible with unauthorized copies. You most
likely have to replace your installed driver with one of the generic
drivers listed on the "documentation" pages.

Others have recommended purchasing this compatible 3rd party driver.
