Laurie Parsons ! Ok, couple of things here. First off I hate Mac's, If you can you use a PC for downloading the Bin files to you aircraft and the RC that would be helpful. ( Or at the very least for formatting, they do not wipe the SD, thumb drives clean )
At the very least format the SD card on the Aircraft Or PC ( If you dont know how to do ( ON the AC ) this let me know ) and then load the Bin file only to the Aircraft.
I have this problem all the times with Mac, If you want to stop pulling your hair out follow my avvice and use a PC, If you follow my directions , I will get you out of this Jam. In the future I will give some advice on how to Use the Mac but for NOW just get to a PC, beg, or borrow a friends, but dont steal, I have a Policy of not helping Thieves .
When you loaded 1.8 to the Aircraft are you sure it was a success ? Also , you did load the file for the Correct aircraft? Always double check because the file names ( Numbers ) are the same and you must be mindful of this.
Let us assume you have the correct file of 1.8 on the aircraft. If you have a blue light on the RC then I want you to load my file of 1.6 at the beginning of this thread, MAKE SURE YOU FORMAT THE THE THUMB DRIVE, I WOULD PREFER YOU BORROW A FRIENDS PC FOR THIS. Mac's do not format the SD cards or thumb drives correctly. Once you have the Thumb drive formatted , load my 1.6 file to the thumb drive and follow my directions to the letter.
When you load the Thumb drive to the RC make sure it is off, then plug in the drive and then turn the RC on, lit may take a couple of minutes but it will begin.
Once you get that file on the RC, it should be able to communicate with The Aircraft.
After the file is loaded I want you to turn everything on and take a screen shot of the "About Page " so that we can see what versions you have loaded on the Phantom 3.
We can then figure out where you stand.
Also what are you using for the Go app ? Android or I pad ? I prefer the I pad but just let me know so I can have all the Information.
Please try my suggestion, I will check back later today or sooner to help you further.
***All of the symptoms indicate to me that you updated the RC to 1.58 and you need to be at 1.6 on the RC, this is because if you load the wrong RC update it will show video but not be able to start the aircraft.
The 1.6 file is only for the RC- do not load any other file to the RC other than the one I am advising . This 1.6 file would not work on the aircraft , only the RC.
****Also the Go App is going to list the wrong aircraft until you make a proper connection with the RC and aircraft, once you do that , it will know what Aircraft you are using, dont worry about that for now. You also did ther Hard re-set, so the RC has no idea what it is supposed to be working with.
In the future,not now , read my tips page.
