Either Safari says it's not installed or Firefox doesn't accept any keyboard inputs once the first log-in page has loaded (which goes to prove that Silverlight is indeed installed but something isn't working as advertised). I also re-installed the entire OS in an attempt to have a fresh Safari, I've uninstalled and re-installed Silverlight many times (including deep cleanses), all to no avail. I have the latest versions of Mac OS 10.9.3, Safari 7.0.4 and Silverlight 5.1.30317 and simply cannot get onto the web-based flight-planning page of Skydemon. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. David (PS Developers: Any chance of writing a native version of Skydemon for Mac, without having use a program like Parallel? Or what about at least using a non-Windows-based plug-in for browser web-based planning?) Tags Mac OS Silverlight

It works on safari but it won't print anything. Pulls up the print option so you can tick what boxes you like but after you 'ok' it nothing happens, not even a screen view of it.

It has been fixed now but I rolled back to Yosemite anyway. It is easy to do. You basically reinstall from the backup you made before upgrading. Google it and there are a few sites that give instructions on how to do it. It takes ages.
