Hello,

I’ve been using SparkFun XBee Explorer USB and it doesn’t get recognized

by MAC OSX 10.13.6

I tried reinstalling the driver and several other methods online but it

didn’t help.

Any solution regarding this issue?

Hi Jun,

If following the instructions in our [How to Install FTDI Drivers tutorials is not resolving the issue, I would recommend following the appropriate guide for your operating system from FTDI found [here. Also, make sure you are logged in as an admin user to modify the driver files.](https://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/InstallGuides.htm)](How to Install FTDI Drivers - SparkFun Learn)

On OSX10.11 or later, another possibility is that VCP has been blocked by installation of D2xxHelper, bundled with an application.VCP and such an application are mutually exclusive. To force using VCP, disable D2xxHelper:

cd /Library/Extensionssudo

mv D2xxHelper.kext D2xxHelper.disabled

Then reboot. To force using D2xx again, rename D2xxHelper.disabled back to D2xxHelper.kext and reboot.
