Hi er-minio , my setup is ; MBP i5 2020 running macOS Monterey 12.4 . Basecamp 4.8.12 ( the latest version ) USBc ports x4 . No special software loaded . Everything is AppStore . No parallels on this current machine . ‘Bog standard’
Good. And it is not an M1/M2 machine. Better.
XT communicates with Garmin Express , but following instructions here , I have disabled automatic opening if express . Fresh reboot of MBP and nothing unusual running , and MBP refuses to recognise that an xt is connected . Weird . I’ve tried using the different usbc inputs.
But you had Android File Transfer (AFT for friends).
My guess is that AFT's daemon is still running despite you deleting the app.
but bonkers. I love Basecamp
I love Basecamp too
We'll sort it out.
By the way: CommanderOne, that Wapping is suggesting is clean software. It won't mess up your Mac. And you can use to connect to the XT or at least
verify if the XT connects to the Mac.
Before doing that, I'd verify if Android File Transfer is messing things up.
Can you reboot your Mac and then do:
Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor.
You'll see a list of processes running on your computer.
Top right corner is a search field. Try searching for "daemon" first and after that try a few extra searches using the keywords "and", "android", "transfer" (one at a time) and let us know what comes up in the list.
Apologies as I don't remember the exact process name...
Just to explain what is happening here... this is from my experience (at the time - not sure if things changed in the meantime) with Android File Transfer:
- Zumo connects only to one software at a time
- Android file transfer automatically starts when you boot your computer and it hijacks the connection to the zumo all the times
- even if you delete the Android transfer app, its daemon (that is the bit of software that keeps running in the background and checks when you connect an Android device) is left behind and keeps running, and keeps hijacking the xt when connected
I want to double check if that is what is happening on your computer.
