DJI Assistant 2 for Mac / OSX

PaoloOne · May 10, 2017

Hi,
I have noticed that on my El Capitan MacBook Pro I am able to connect to the DJI Assistant only if I connect to the RC via USB cable before turning on the aircraft itself.
So the sequence is:

Connect the USB cable to the RC
Turn on the RC
Establish connection to Assistant 2 by seeing the icon on the app
Turn on the aircraft
Use Assistant 2

I don't know if for others works this way but was the only way for me to upgrade the FW.

Cheers

i only used it once when i did update to 0.6 as i could not use phone for some reason.

just plugged drone into mac directly and using assistant did update. (no remote)

PaoloOne · May 10, 2017

yes, you can update by plugging the drone directly, the way that I'm saying is to update the aircraft AND the controller at the same time.

Robin · May 10, 2017

yes that would make sense.

PaoloOne · May 10, 2017

In any case since this time (.700) updating was much faster and flawless than previously (.600) from now on I will only upgrade using the assistant. The previous update gave some chills because it hanged in the middle of the process and I had to repeat it. I would suggest to anybody to use the computer based procedure if possible.

Hi Guys,

I have a slightly similar problem. I have downloaded the DJI Assistance app but can not open it. I have checked the system requirements and for some reason when i attempt to open the app, it just does nothing.

Anyone know why

You in Mac? Or PC?

Mac updates are for free. Why use El Capitan?

I have an early 2011 MBPro that is a dog on any OS above 10.8.5. With 16GB RAM and a SSDrive, it's running fine. I don't care to lose performance for looks and features I do not want. Those are my reasons. Besides, it "ain't broke, so not fixing it!" Apple since Jobs loss hasn't been the best, though my stock keeps doing well...

Oyibo VFX · Aug 19, 2017

Correct. Don't replace something that is working well. I have a MBPro late 2013. So the current release with Retina but I run into its limitations when running FCPX. Specially if I update effects in Motion 5. So, in September a new MBPro. Directly the top model (15" with 16GB etc). But I keep my "old" Mac beside. Maybe as a server or something like that.

You did download the DMG file and not the ZIP or EXE right?

Can anyone help? I have a MacBook Pro running 10.13.4. I downloaded DJI Assistant 2 and installed it (followed by HoRNDIS) and got confirmations that both had installed correctly. I restarted the Mac but cannot find either app on the computer.

Where has the app gone to? I thought it might start up if I attached the Mavic but it did not.

This is the third time I have tried to install it.
