Hi Bill,

Thanks for your input.

Have tried your sugggestion but the USB doesn’t show up as in your pic. Selecting “Locations” just sends me to the iMac hard drive.

It’s driving me mad lol

Hello Trevor

Hoping you can solve this and have a happy new year soon

By chance, what model and what OS are you running?

Is it new to you in the recent past?

If you will, try a reboot . That can be a quick remedy, sometimes!

I googled your problem in the google box and came up with some interesting solutions. perhaps that will lead you to the answer you are looking for

best regards

Ron

Hi Jim

Happy New Year.

Thanks for your way to find the USB sticks. Brilliant.

Yes I did find them using your method. They are both showing as empty of data but can’t see a way to add the v213 firmware to them.

Thank you so much for your knowledge and patience.

Hi RONBO

Thank you for your excellent suggestions.

Model is Apple iMac

OS is 11.6.8 (20G730)

Tried a reboot but that hasn’t fixed anything.

I’ll try googling the problem as you did.

Thanks for your help.

Presumably you have the file in your downloads folder. Make sure it is Unzipped.  Within the folder you will see a file with a PRG extension. Right click on this file and select copy.
Go to your USB drive and do a right click again, then select paste.

All done.

Now put the USB stick in your KB and install by holding the Style Stop/Start button whilst powering ON the KB.

Hi Bill,

Happy New Year.

Thanks for your method of copying the file to the USB.

I’ll give it a try when I get back from the cemetery this afternoon.

Another thing to try ... first, be in the Finder (main screen of your Mac).  See the two screenshots I'll attach here.  Go up to "File" (upper left), click, then select 'Preferences...".   When a small window opens, make sure you check the boxes for the various kinds of drives, so that all drives show up on the desktop.  Sometimes one or several are not checked; put a checkbox in them.  This should make the USB drive(s) show up on your desktop.

Hi jimlaing,

Thanks for all your hard work on this problem.

I seem to be going backwards again now. I think I have managed to get the USB sticks to show upon the desktop. Then I get stuck because I can’t get to the .PRG bit.

Might be easier if I just purchase a USB with the update already on it. £19.99 from Whitley Bay organs. Might be worth it.

Your thoughts will be valued as always.

For something that is free you should not have to pay anyone for it. I would say any member would be willing to put it on a USB stick for you if you sent them one. Do you not have anyone close to you that can do it.

Here is another step you will want to do on your Mac computer.  These things I'm describing are things I do on any new Mac computer, right at the start - then I leave 'em set this way.  Go to that same place as I described in a previous note, about "Finder Preferences".  This time, click "Advanced" in the top row of choices.  Then on the page that shows up in the little window, put a check-box (by clicking) in the "Show all filename extensions".  This will make the Mac show the file extensions such as .PRG on the files for Genos.

Hope this helps,
Jim

Hi Eileen,

Thank you for your input regarding the v213 firmware update. Unfortunately, I do not have anyone near who can do that for me.

The reason I thought about purchasing the USB stick I mentioned was that I didn’t really want to bother anyone any further but your suggestion is a good one for which I am extremely grateful.

Kindest regards

Hi jimlaing,

Thank you for that idea about the .PRG files.

I will certainly have a go at that.
