It is funny. My Mac is opposite of windows. It doesn't care what prolific chip it sees but ftdi has to be just right lol On Aug 13, 2015 19:25, "Tom Hayward" tom@tomh.us wrote:

Ok the procedure I followed tonight was:
Firstly … used windows to check the connection, downloaded from the
radio and saved file.
Uploaded to radio - worked 100%
Then ran Chirp on the Mac Downloaded from the radio … all good - all settings as per the radio. Uploaded back to the radio … all looked good - the progress bar moved to
100%, and the radio showed CL IN … then waited a while and the progress bar disappeared and gave a message:
An error has occurred. Failure to communicate with radio: did not get
clone result from radio.
Switched the radio off, removed the programming cable, switched on and
the radio screen showed "Clear" and everything is wiped from the radio and it is reset to factory default.
Went back to Windows and reloaded file to the radio.
Hope this helps.

Chirp uses the same source code on every operating system, so we can rule out Chirp code as the source of this issue. What differs between operating systems is the USB serial driver. My guess the driver you have installed in OS X is not 100% compatible with the chip in your cable and the software and your cable stopped communicating partway through the transfer. I don't know much about your cable, but you might look into installing a different driver.
If it only happened once, it's also possible this was a transient error that you'll never see again (maybe a dirty connection to the radio).
