YEM will not open

[PAFF]

I updated my MacBook Air to Big Sur. As a result YEM will not open.

[Toril S]

Turn the MacBook off and on. That may help!

[PAFF]

Thanks for the advise. Unfortunately it did not help. I guess I have to wait for a YEM update.

[valimaties]

I don't have Mac, but seems to be incompatible. Big Sur is a major upgrade of MacOS, is 11 version. YEM for Mac is created for version 10 (as Yamaha wrote on YEM's download page). Maybe you will have to wait for a YEM update, or to downgrade to lower version of MacOS, which YEM worked before!

But, you made a fresh install of YEM? Do you received any error? Some advice here

Regards,
Vali

I did reinstall YEM but it did not help. I am just going to waite far an update.

Yamaha are already aware and are looking into the problem.

YEM 2.6 works fine on my MAC with Big Sur

Hi

YEM (270) still not working under BigSur on my Mac, anything new?
can not pick up YEM (260) for Mac at Yamaha!

ah, yes... the "Big Spur" has caused lots of problems.

If you can down-grade or do a recover back to "before Big Sur" you should be good.

I have archived many older YEM versions on my computer, but unfortunately not V2.6.0 for MAC.

Could someone please upload this version (to a file hosting service) and post a download link for the user "Helmer dk" here?

Hi

I still have YEM 2.5.3.

It should be OK until Yamaha update YEM for Big Sur:

EDIT: It doesn't work so I've removed the link.

Cheers

Hi Teknoss,

just for my understanding: What means "X2" here?

Thank you for uploading YEM V2.5.3 for Mac, Chris! But "Helmer" obviously has a Genos, and due to the YEM Version History, the support for Genos Firmware V2.00 was only added with YEM V2.6.0.

If I remember correctly, there could be problems with YEM versions prior to V2.6.0 in connection with the new versions of the now free Yamaha Packs. Do YOU use such Packs (.cpf) with YEM V2.5.3?


Best regards,
Chris

[frozzers]

I've just tried to install YEM 2.5.3 on my Mac, Chris and found it doesn't even install, let alone run. For that reason, I've removed the file from my OneDrive to save anyone the trouble.

Actually, because of the Mac Big Sur OS issue, I'm running the Windows version of YEM 2.7.0 on my virtual PC within my Mac. Bit annoying because I basically had to rebuild everything from scratch. Also, the YEM interface on my virtual PC isn't very good (I've no idea why), but the main thing is, it works.

Tecknoss' X2 by the way means 'me too' ... 

Cheers

Hi

I got some of the free packs from Yamaha before BigSur and have been successfully installed on my Genos, so I'm not in a hurry to make YEM work. I was just wondering why it still didn't work. I expect Yamaha to come up with updated software soon.
Thank you for your interest and information.

Thanks to Costel Vatamanu, Yamaha's demonstrator for Romania, he gave me 2.6.0 for Mac.

Hi Vali,

thank you very much for providing YEM V2.6.0 for Mac!


@Helmer dk.
Some users have reported that YEM V2.6.0 works under macOS Big Sur (in contrast to the current version 2.7.0).

Maybe you could install the V2.6.0 on your Mac and then report here ...


Best regards,

Hi Chris

I'm not convinced that 260 will work! I can not upload the file from that site and I do not want to create an account! As I mentioned earlier here I'm not in a hurry and can wait to see what Yamaha comes up with, but thanks for your attention.

Helmer

[valimaties]

  you don't need to create an account to download that file.

Hmmm, strange decision, although...

Hi Helmer,

as already mentioned by Vali, you don't need to create a "Mediafire" account. If you get a pop-up message after clicking the link in Vali's first post, just click on the blue "Consent" button to close the message. Then click on the blue "Download" button and save the zip file on your computer.

Of course you have to decide for yourself whether you want to try the YEM version 2.6.0 or not. But if you are already on Big Sur and you want to work with the YEM, you only have the options of either using a virtual Windows with YEM V2.7.0, or just trying the Mac version of YEM V2.6.0.


Best regards,
Chris

[valimaties]

I have added a Google Drive Folder link, also. You can download it from there if you don't like mediafire links

Regards,
Vali

[frozzers]

I tried installing v2.6.0. Again, without success.

So we must wait for an update from Yamaha that works with Big Sur.

I know they've been busy with the CES 2021 launches but they'll have had plenty of advance notice of the new MacOS well before it launched.

Fortunately, I can use the Windows version on my virtual PC ...

Thanks guys for trying.

Cheers

Chris

I updated my MacBook Air to Big Sur. As a result YEM will not open.

I rang Yamaha  and they advised, that they are working on an Update for Big Sur operating system, which will be posted on the Yamaha site as and when it is available. Hope that helps

[alfaholic]

They just now released Catalina update, it was so buggy for over a year. Talking about Yamaha and how good they support their software, this update will come in 2022. Which is unfortunate as 2.6.0 works well on Big Sur already. The Windows version does not work well with high res displays and scaling, it is a mess.
