there are evidently major problems on the mac. i have basically the same setup and with both the uv5r and the uv6d and two different cables i can only get the mac to recognize the radio perhaps once out of two dozen attempts--download or upload.
using windows7 64-bit via vmware on the same mac same usb port same cable succeeds every single time, so obviously there is no fault with the radio(s) or cable(s) or usb port conflict.
also, i noticed the mac version of chirp does not have all the functions of the windows version and requires yet more python modules to support radio reference db. i consider myself lucky to have the windows workaround because i think if you had a mac only and had to depend on the chirp port you would be very frustrated.

Mac OS X 10.8.1 driver to program Wouxun KG-UV3D using Chirp
I am trying to program a Wouxun UV3D HT using Chirp software and my iMac, running on Mountain Lion (10.8.1). I've found a driver that loads fine on the iMac and is recognized by Chirp (/dev/cu.usbserial). This is the driver
- md_PL2303_MacOSX10.6_dmg_v1.4.0. The problem is that when I attempt to
download the Wouxun I get an error that a radio is not "responding." I'm using Wouxun's USB to radio cable.
What am I missing? Is there a secret Wouxun cloning mode? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
