How do you mean that the things it said to try didn't work?

Do you mean that you managed to do them, but it did not make a difference, or, do you mean that you were unable to do them?

Here are some general Mac tips that are also in the manual:

1. If you unzip the file on a Windows machine and transfer the file to your mac with a USB stick it should work.

2. Better solution for anybody else who has this problem. OS X is picky about which programs can be run (the first time) by double-clicking. To run a program that says "this can't be opened", right-click the icon and choose "Open". You'll be given an option to open the program, and from then on it won't bug you.

3. For Mac's having trouble installing FPV Freerider try going to the Mac's System Preferences>Security and Privacy> General Tab and check the box "Anywhere" to see if this allows your Mac to install FPV Freerider.

4. So i have banging my head with frustration about not being able to even open the program in OSX 10.10. I have finally solved the problem for anybody who is still having the same issue i was, you have to open up terminal and type chmode +x (fpvfreerider.app) and that should do it. Hope this helps anybody.

Dear Support, I just bought your „Recharged“ Simulator for my mac and every time I click „open“ it just tells me „You are not allowed to open this program. Please contact you Admin“ but I it is my mac and I already tried everything the Apple Support told me to do. Do you have any Idea what else I can do?

Yes, you need to set the permission to open the app.

Usually the chmod +x method in the install instructions works for most people.

That is:

Open up terminal and type sudo chmode +x (fpvfreerider.app) and that should do it.

It should look something like:

chmod +x /Applications/FPVFreerider_Recharged/Contents/MacOS/FPVFreerider_Recharged

(adding sudo at the start if needed).

Make sure you enter the correct folder path and app name (where the app is located on your computer).

After that you might need to go to your Mac menu System Preferences>Security & Privacy

If it says something like "Freerider was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer" you need to select "Open Anyway".

Dear Support, it worked! Thank you very much! For me the Final Solution was using Chrome and a different unzippingprogram. Now it works just fine.
