Thank you all for the feedback and replies. Knowing that I’m not the only one with the issue is somewhat comforting in it’s own way. Fortunately, I can run Windows 7 or 8 via Parallels in my Mac, which might lend itself to another software that might be PC-only based. As for the upload/download terminology… I did upload/download from the radio to Chirp first, which gave me the initial and original .img file in Chirp. Then, upon modifying, I attempted to download/upload from Chirp back to the radio. That is where I discovered this issue. Also, Tom, thank you for explaining Yeasu’s antiquated or inferior method of data transfer. One thing I haven’t tried is to connect the cable to the radio first, then to the Mac. Maybe this doesn’t make a difference, maybe it will. I’ve always connected the cable to the Mac first, then to the radio.
In all, programming the VX-5R isn’t that important. I’m very thankful of the developers for the ability to successfully use Chirp on my FT-8900r. I use that as my base station FM radio, which has a lot of repeaters and simplex frequencies on it.

Dave,
You cannot load a CSV file into CHIRP and upload it to any radio. CHIRP doesn't know what radio it is for.
You have to download from the radio to create a "tab" that is compatible with the radio. An alternative would be to load a CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file that was saved from the radio. Only this way will you be able to upload the tab to the radio.
What you have to do is "import" the CSV file into this tab. Then upload it.
