I am afraid I was not so lucky - reading the waring about using a Mac I reinstalled my VMware and ran windows 10...not fun to start with
Anyway did you usual firmware update procedure and got a "failed" message. Now my RS is dead as a doornail.
No LED at all - yes I tried recovery procedure but the Spirit Settings app just hangs
Don't use VMware or anything else ! It might work, but in most cases it won't.
Because the Guest OS in the VMware has to use the driver of the Hostsystem , in your case the one of the MAC.
So if you are lucky the Guest OS Driver "overwrites" the Host OS Driver and the Guest OS is able to use the Hardware directly.
In most cases it just works like .......
So get a real OS and do it from there. Using real Hardware over a VM is not a good idea and fails over and over again.
(expect for standard things like Hard disk, GPU and so on)
