USB question/problem - 01/04/10 11:21 PM
I bought myself a Garmin Nuvi GPS unit for after Xmas. It has a USB cable for hookup to Macs and PCs. Supposed to be compatible with G3s forward running OSX 10.4.11 or later. It doesn't show up on my desktop, which then won't allow it to communicate with Garmin's software, or website for upgrades. It shows up fine on my Acer PC. All my other USB devices work/show up fine. Anyone have any experience with Garmin units and Macs?
I've plugged it directly into the computer with nothing else but the keyboard & mouse connected. Done a restart. Shut down, unplugged for 1/2 hr or so and restarted. The unit knows it's connected, as it shows the connection icon on the screen. The computer doesn't recognize it. I'm out of ideas, any suggestions?
System is a G4 running 10.4.11, 1.5 GB memory.
