Hi, I just tried it, and there is a problem with the menus, if I clique "routes" the window with the routes appears... and disappears quite quickly, the same with the others.

Thanks for the work done to be able to use SD directly on a Mac ! If there is an explanation to the problem I found, I will try to use it.

Download now updated to 3.4.4 ..... updated link at the start of this thread.

I think I have resolved the issue with downloading charts ..... if you were having this problem, please move your existing install from Applications to the trash, then download the application again following the instructions at the start of this thread

France: http://data.skydemon.aero/countries/getdata.aspx?fileid=2859 
Benelux: http://data.skydemon.aero/countries/getdata.aspx?fileid=2853 
However, I'm not sure how reliable this approach is - for example these links might stop working or may not ensure that you have up to date charts. 
Still no idea why some people cannot download the charts unfortunately.

Charts won't download
1) what version of OS X are you using?
10.10.2
2) have you ever had skydemon working previously on your Mac?
Yes
3) In Finder, browse to the Documents folder,
does it contain a SkyDemon folder, Yes
does this folder contain license.skdl and a Charts folder? Yes
Does it contain a debug.log? No
4) Can you manually download the data from: http://data.skydemon.aero/countries/getdata.aspx?fileid=2883   ?                               
Yes the manual download of data works. Everthing works fine but the charts download.
Do you have a link for France & Benelux data?

Hi rikur,
thanks a lot.
But I tell you I have surrendered.
I tried it.
Now I use skydemon on ipad mini and windows 7 computer.
I am not the person to spend hours to make a program run.

Good luck

Hi Gernot,
(grasping at straws) this may possibly be due to remains of your previous install still being present....
open a Terminal window  ( cmd + [space] then type 'terminal' ) then type....

mv "$HOME/library/application support/Divelements Limited" "$HOME/library/application support/Divelements old"
mv "$HOME/documents/SkyDemon" "$HOME/documents/SkyDemon old"

This will move existing SkyDemon config out of the way - then start SkyDemon again and see if it is any better.
If this fails, you could manually move the uk-6.skydata file from Downloads to the Documents/SkyDemon/Charts folder.

Good evening,
thank you for the reply.
I have Macbook pro  bought in 2015 with elcapitan (10.11.1).
I have a Chart Folder in the skydemon Folder and a licence but no debug.
Skydemon worked before I upgraded to elcapitan.
I can download uk-6 skydata but cannot open it.
Yours Gernot

Hi,
not sure what's causing this issue....  can I ask a few things:
1) what version of OS X are you using?
2) have you ever had skydemon working previously on your Mac?
3) In Finder, browse to the Documents folder, does it contain a SkyDemon folder, does this folder contain license.skdl and a Charts folder? Does it contain a debug.log?
4) Can you manually download the data from: http://data.skydemon.aero/countries/getdata.aspx?fileid=2883   ?

Hello, thank you for the Mac Version. 
Alas the download of charts does not work. The markered charts cannot be downloaded, the not markered charts 
allthough not downloaded show a correct date of the new validity.
Is there a possibility to make the download work?

Yours
Gernot
