OK - Since I last used QLC+ I have upgraded to OS X Mavericks
AND upgraded to QLC+ V. 4.5.0 (a)
Right now Im sitting with my normal fixtures and my normal Workspace-file that USED to work
ONE thing is "wrong" - I do not have the terminator connected but that is normally not a problem
"Everyting" seems fine inside QLC+ and the monitor shows values sent - and in my output my ENTTEC OPENDMX USB is shown as output with serial number and all..
I say "Everything" because SOMETIMES when QLC+ is running my mouse and keyboard freezes completely and I have to reboot my Mac the hard way.
BUT fixtures shows NO light whatsoever NOTHING
I have checked addresses 2000 times - changed cables and so on. I have even tried a new "empty" Workspace file - and even tried to install QLC (without +)... - NOTHING
So as I see it - either there is something in QLC+ 4.5.0(a) that is not working - OR something in Mavericks is blocking OR else my Opendmx Usb have stopped working
Any Ideas ??
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Installed QLC+ 4.5.0 on another Mac that are running Mountain Lion - worked fine
So it is not my cables, fixtures or OpenDmx Box - and it is not QLC+ except for maybe not being entirely compatible with OS X Mavericks.
ONE difference between the 2 Macs I see is that when I open Input/Output the working mac says. "GOOD" under "System Timer Accuracy" ... The Not working Mavericks system Says "Patch this widget to a Universe to find out" - although it IS patched (see enclosed pic)
My Enttec Open DMX clone device only works to QLC+ 4.6.1 or older on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). However it works perfectly on Win 7 on the same machine with the last version of QLC+. Tried many things listed above, I don't know what to do...

Hello All!
I'm new to QLC(+) and DMX in general, and I'm having some of the same issues.
I am using Mac OS X 10.6.8 and with QLC+ 4.6.1, the USB DMX device is listed and checked in the output tab, but no output to lights.
With QLC+ 4.8.1, the device is not listed.
I have uninstalled the drivers per the documentation, but with no success.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to uninstall the FTDI system drivers. Remove /System/Library/Extensions/FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext and reboot.
Thanks - but ... no such file in my extensions ... No such file at all
So ... worked some more with this issue

SO Problem solved
Problem was new USB driver from Apple :-(
Disable the new driver: (Apple Terminal)
cd /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns
sudo mv AppleUSBFTDI.kext AppleUSBFTDI.disabled
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions
Solution found here:
