<div dir="ltr">One word of caution before updating to Mavericks. Uninstall the FTDI driver <i>before</i> you upgrade. This will allow OS X to default to its own Apple driver for FTDI. Refer to the installation guide, section 4:<div>

<div>The first action I suggest is that you update to Mac OS X 10.9.2 Mavericks. Mavericks is a free operating system update from Apple, so don’t hold back on updating.</div><div><br></div><div>Once you have Mac OS X 10.9.2 Mavericks installed, </div>

<br></div><div>You cannot read the full connection Port name in</div><div>the above screen shot. It is: /dev/cu.usbserial-A702RBLF</div><div><br></div><div>This is the USB / FTDI chip driver from Apple but only available with Mac OS X 10.9.2 Mavericks.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Second, what USB to Serial cable are you using?

I was able to download the image, made some changes and now cannot upload it back. The only thing different from what was identified in Issue 1433 is I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and the new Apple FTDI drive is not utilized. I'm running the FTDI 2.2.18 driver downloaded from their site. Is there any update regarding 10.8.5 and the FTDI driver? I have not been able to locate any issues regarding FTDI and 10.8.5. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</span><br style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px">
