Recent'y I have wanted to get my mac working with mac logging software. It appears that Mac OS 10.10 has no drivers that I can seem to find that will recognizes Yosemite. One solution would be go bluetooth connection for the serial port verse a cable. But, I am hoping there is one person out there who has the latest MAC OS X working with a usb to serial cable. If you do what is the combo?

I'm using an US Interface Navigator with provides USB-Serial CAT control (and more). The Keyspan USA-19HS USB-Serial adapter (http://www.tripplite.com/high-speed-usb ... n~USA19HS/) also works just fine and has drivers for Yosemite.

If you had a driver that worked for Mavericks, odds are it will still work for Yosemite, but if it isn't signed then Yosemite won't load it. The easy way around that (until you can get signed drivers) is to put the KEXT security into developer mode:

Go to the terminal and enter the following:
sudo nvram boot-args=“kext-dev-mode=1”
<enter your password when requested>
sudo reboot

This will allow the unsigned drivers to load. In fact, it will allow any unsigned drivers to load, so use it with caution. There's a reason why Apple decided to lock down the drivers (security) and if you bypass it and something goes wrong, know that you've been warned. That being said, I've been running in developer mode since the day Yosemite came out (my Navigator does not yet have signed drivers) and I've had no issues.

Visit the Silicon Labs web site and download the CP210x package for Mac. Works great with my Yaesu 3000.
