Garmin Express doesn't recognize Garmin S6 after upgrade MAC 10.11 El Capitan

Hello,

I am a Mac User. My Garmin S6 was working fine with Garmin Express while running 10.10 from Mac. Then decided to upgrade to 10.11. Now my Garmin Express doesn't recognize it anymore but the dock is still charging the watch..

I have uninstalled / reinstalled the application, no changes. Then changed USB port nothing occurs. Then deleted in my profile my watch in Garmin Express. My watch was found but for few seconds later pop up from mac stating can't read the watch as a disk..

Any clues?

  • Garmin version Version 4.1.9.0 doesn't solve the communication problem under MAC OSX

    I downloaded the latest version of Garmin Express (4.1.9.0) today and was very disappointed that this version still doesn't recognize my Approach S6! Apparently this problem does not have a very high priority :(

    I am sorry about the trouble. Unfortunately, this will not be resolved with a Garmin Express update as this is not an issue with Garmin Express. Something was changed in OS X 10.11 that prevents the device's storage from mounting so it will not even display as a drive on the computer. We have created a case and are currently investigating this issue.

    Same S6 problem

    Pls add me to the "to be informed once resolved" list
  • If you are experiencing issues connecting a device other than the Approach S5 or S6 to a Mac running the 10.11 El Capitan OS X, please check other threads in this forum. This thread should only be used for the Approach S5 and S6 devices.
