Jtrak is NOT the issue. Getting a program for the IR dongle to work on the mac IS the problem.!! Either way, you can never, ever erase the logged dives from the SOL. It's burned into the firmware so that if there is ever an issue with a diver getting bent, they will have a permanment record of ALL the logged dives.!!
A quick Google search turns up alot of results for hardware for the mac to add IR support:
IR Trans - Products and orders - USB Devices
or
Apple Remote & Mira USB IR Receivers - Manta Remote Hardware from Twisted Melon
The Mac needs an IR receiver. The JTrak software will use the IR hardware to do the communication.

Good luck, been there, done that it doesnt work
Not to sound rude but, why would JTrak be made if "it doesn't work"?
Either you're doing something wrong or you've got the wrong hardware. It works, people here on this forum have used it (do a search).
This is turning from a helpful discussion about the Sol to a trolling session.

Really? A Troll? Because I disagree with your assumptions and my experience is different then yours? 1.) UWATEC is in the process of taking Jtrak and the dongle software off their sites. 2.) A Call to their service dept. confirms that THEY DONT SUPPORT MAC's and are never going to again. Call them yourself if you don't believe me. 3.) and don't you think that as a 30 year MAC user that... A. I know what I'm doing and that... B. I would like it to work????

Misac, PM me if you have any questions. This thread is turning in to a debate when it doesn't need to be one.
@promocop - I never questioned what a long time Mac user you are. I'm simply observing that you have nothing but negative things to say in this thread.
JTrak is not made by Uwatec, of course they don't support it. JTrak is cross-OS port of the Uwatec software by a German company.
Manufacturers site:
JTrak
or perhaps you need information from Apple because you only trust them
Apple - Downloads - Home & Learning - JTrak
Regardless of where you get it don't expect Uwatec to officaly support it. It is not their software.

If they don't support it,then why do they offer it on their site??? That is tacid approval of their acceptance, and as I said and according to them, they are removing it. As for me 'having nothing but negative things say" sorry but as I understand it this board is for an exchange of ideas and thoughts. I own a SOL and love it that doesnt mean that I have to fall lock step with every positive experience that people have with this product. If you cant stand hearing contrarian views on issues..TOOOOOOBBBBAAAAAAAAAADDDD:mooner:
