Anyone else having issues? Mine wont start at all.

What version are you using?

[Dale]

The NXT software, even the latest 2.1 version, is notoriously problematic on Macs. You will need to install the patch from Lego.

For the educational version the patches are at http://www.legoeducation.us/eng/Support/NXTSoftwareUpdates.cfm?paID=5645. If you have the retail version of the software you'll need to do some searching.

Not a Mountain Lion issue, but are there any docs that explain the NXT terminal interfaces in labview 2011?

Reinstalled NXT image that I downloaded from Lego Website. THe program will now run. Only issue now is BT connection crashes program to desktop.

Wondering if using a BT dongle might be a workaround. Thoughts?

[Dale]

In my experience the NXT-G editor never gets far enough to download a program to the NXT. Usually it has problems on Macs loading in the first place. Bluetooth wouldn't matter in that case.

Dale, I haven't any issues with NXT-G on a Mac till this last upgrade. Been working great for years
