How is it possible I'm required to use DJI Assistant 2 to update my DJI Controller, but there's no way to install the DJI Assistant 2 software on my Mac with Mac OS Catalina?  And now I can't fly because it says the firmware upgrade is required. Seriously?

Since so may customers have the same problem with the Mac OS Catalina, I will post the workaround in public.
Please click Quit when the Mac pops up HoRNDIS is not compatible, exit the installation of the driver, then download the driver installation package below separately, and then double-click the PKG file to install it after decompression. After the installation is successful, it should be used normally.

Would you mind sending me the answer too if you actually have one??  And what's the point of a forum if we're not sharing the answers??

i am also having problems connecting my mavic mini to my mac on catalina, is there a fix?

I just downloaded the DJI Assistant 2 Mavic version, it installed without issue on my 2009 MacPro running OS Catalina (high spec machine, 64Gb RAM, dual 3.3Ghz CPU's, 8Gb Radeon RX560 GPU, 512Gb SSD). However, the Mavic Mini wont connect. Even Unplugging the device, reboot it and reconnecting within 20s. I know it is connected as the drive comes up in Finder. I have turned off, Google Sync backup, so it no longer opens when I connect a USB device. I have also renamed the Mini in Disk Manager as there was no name. Tried rebooting it all, after all these setting changes, still nothing. What else can we do to get this working, please? FYI, the drone will not turn on with the USB cabled connected..

i am also having problems connecting my mavic pro to my mac on catalina, please send work around!

Thanks!

I am unable to install the assistant also.  Please PM me the details of how to install!

I had to cheat-install it. And I ignored the driver-thingy. Then it worked.

I really can't believe DJI expects people to ignore every Catalina security warning!  HEY - large companies will not allow people to do this!!  To say this is unacceptable is rather an understatement, and unless it's resolved in the immediate future we'll be removing all our DJI drones.

Here's my very sad chat with DJI Support:

                DJI Care Refresh offers up to two replacement units for a small additional charge. Water damage is also covered! To learn more click HERE

Mavic 2 and Macintosh running Catalina. Attempting to install DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic, downloaded directly from your website, is prevented from opening: "DJI+Assistant+2+For+Mavic+2.0.20.pkg cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. MacOS can not verify that this app is free from malware." Clearly this is not working@! 


                

Hello there, thanks for reaching out. May I know your name to address you properly? 


                

Jeff 


                

Hi Jeff, can you do the following: 


                15:42
                

On your Mac PC, Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy, click on “Open Anyway”. Then choose “Open” to start installation. 


                


 


                15:43
                


 


                


 


                

IN this way you are giving permission to install the DJI Assistant 2 for Mavic. 


                15:45
                

*In 


                

After DJI Assistant 2 is installed, a system prompt will pop up indicating that the HoRNDIS driver needs to be installed. 


                15:47
                

NO, I can not disable every security check the Mac requires. You have to provide software that follows their rules. And I have two correct the forward vision issue4. How can I proceed? 


                

I understand, but to proceed with the installation we need to have to disable the security check for it. 


                15:48
                

After the installation, you can revert it back to normal. 


                15:49
                

Let me count the ways this is unacceptable. Company policy forbids taking the steps you suggest because of corporate security concerns. If I can not resolve this problem with our Mavics we will have to look at other manufactures. WHY can't you provide software that doesn't cause this issue? 


                

We feel bad about this unfortunate situation, and I know this is certainly not the experience we want for you. We are committed in getting our service improved. We greatly appreciate your insight and sincerely apologize on this. Hoping for your outmost patience and understanding.
               
                


                15:51
                

Sorry, but those nice words don't address this real world problem. Do you REALLY want this position published on all the drone forums? 


                15:53
                

I understand your point and we are giving you the solution to fix the installation issue you are having with. 


                15:54
                

Currently it is the only option to install the DJI Assistant 2 on your MAC PC. 


                15:55
                

That is NOT a solution that any large company can accept. I'll be sure to let others know about this astonishingly unacceptable position. 


                15:56
                

Again, we sincerely apologize on this matter. We are committed in getting our service improved.

Please send download for MacOS Catalina for my Mavic Air

I cannot download DJI Assistant 2 on my Mac with Catalina and my Windows 10 Laptop. Can you provide the the fix for both Mac Catalina & Windows 10 operating systems?

Hello to all. I have a new Mac with the Catalina OS. I could not download the DJI Assistant 2 on it to use with the Start Controller I just purchased for my Mavic 2. HAs anyone, or DJI come up with a computer safe download of the DJI Assistant 2 for Mac Catalina OS or even a Windows 10 OS? I am currently "down" from flying until I can get this load on one of my computers. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Same problem here! Need to calibrate my sensors and I couldn't get it done on a PC and now I cannot install Assistant 2 on my Mac running Catalina. This SUCKS DJI!! My next drone will be the Autel Evo II.

Do you know how well DJI ASST 2 works on High Serria?

I can't get DJI Assistant 2 working on High Serria either. Tried on Windows 10. Ive tried differnt cable to plug in, what is the right cable to use for the bird?

This is very frustrating. Does any one answer these questions?  What is the right cable type to plug into? I cant get the software to work so that's the only thing left

These people are fuckiing assholes.  The ... doesn’t work with a Mac, and I’d ask for every fucking dollar back I’ve spent with them on 3+ fucking drones.  This is such a. Fucking sham.

Same I can’t download load it on to my Mac pm me please the solution

So, help me understand... If I am interrupting the instructions properly, I have to use an Android phone in order to update the firmware on my Ronin S? I Don't have an Android, I have an iPhone. When I plug my MacBook Pro (running Catalina) in to the Ronin, my Mac shuts down my USB driver due to the Ronin needing too much power. Help?

Since so may customers have the same problem with the Mac OS Catalina, I will post the workaround in public.
Please click Quit when the Mac pops up HoRNDIS is not compatible, exit the installation of the driver, then download the driver installation package below separately, and then double-click the PKG file to install it after decompression. After the installation is successful, it should be used normally.
https://github.com/jwise/HoRNDIS/files/3719733/HoRNDIS-9.2-catalina_install.pkg.zip

so, i did this .. istalled the HoRNDIS 9.2, restarted, then tried to re-run the dji assistant .pkg file . . and at the end it says i need to install the HoRNDIS file . . . which I had already done! So I'm not sure how to proceed. Does ANYONE have a good, CLEAR step--by-step guide to do this? I have both .pkg files -- DJI Assistant and HoRNDIS 9.2 -- sitting in my downloads folder.

I have the same problem and installed everything + the workaround.
(Mostly because of the aggressive comments from the United States , calm down guys, you're the best of the best of the best of the best and nobody will steal your guns, or give you healthcare, just relax dudes)

...anyway, I still can't connect my MavicPro to my new Mac Mini - could it be because I'm connecting through a USB-C hub?)

I just ran into the same issue yesterday, has DJI fixed the issue? what are the options? I'm unable to fly my MP2

I have tried every possible angle to get this to work and still nothing. Very frustrating. Also the reason I tried to go down the assistant route is because my compass keeps needing calibration, follow the app directions and horizontal works every time but vertical never works. Result is no flying.
