RaidR
Any plans to get a driver for Mac OS 10.15 Catalina for RaidR?
- Apr 10, 2020
Hi PWS442,
RAIDar 6.5.0 for Mac OS Catalina was already fixed so you should be able to install it now on that version. We just tested it before we were able to use RAIDar on Catalina.

Well, when I open the System Report showing the Applications installed on my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.14.6 Mojave, it does show up as a 32-bit App. Apple and others say that these will not run under Catalina. I realize that the Web page interface will Probably still work, but RAIDar will not, so it says. (BTW: My Canon Printer/Scanner is in the same boat, alas)

Are you running RAIDar 6.5 for MacOS? Or an older version?

That's not a driver issue.

Yes, 6.5. Not trying to argue, but the System Display says it is 32-bit. NetGear ReadyNAS 6.10.1 is probably going to be fine. The locator software in RAIDar says no good. Not implying it is a driver, just that the code that runs in the OS is not 64-bit. This is not a deal-breaker for Catalina, but the Canon and Logitech's Harmony One software give me cause for concern. I can always use my wife's older MacBook, as it cannot be upgraded to Mojave, much less Catalina.

Netgear will obviously need to rebuild it. JohnCM_S, is this on Netgear's to-do list?
FWIW, your initial post was confusing, since you did talk specifically about a driver update (which made no sense) with no context.

That doesn't run on the Mac at all, so that won't be a problem.

I will ask the appropriate team that handles this if it is already on their to-do list. I will provide an update once I get feedback.

Thank you very much. Not for RAIDar, but there are far too many reasons to hold off on Catalina for the time being. God, look at all the posts at MacRumors and OSX Daily!

Hi PWS442,
Just an update, we have already sent a request to the appropriate team to rebuild the RAIDar app for the MacOS Catalina.
