Notes for Ventura
Mac OS creates a number of hidden folders on external media that is connected to the computer, including your FOXPRO game call. Examples of these hidden folders are: ".Spotlight-V100", ".fseventsd", and ".Trashes". These hidden directories can cause problems when trying to sync a sound list to game call. Please follow the steps below if your Mac OS is Ventura:
- Remove the old version of the programming utility from the Mac
- Install the Apple Disk Image by following the steps in the Installing the Mac App Bundle section above.
- You are now ready to follow the programming steps to add or remove sounds from your FOXPRO game call.
Note: If you previously tried to use an old version of the programming utility while your Mac was operating on the Ventura OS you will need to remove the hidden files it has created before programming can continue.
Notes for Catalina
Mac OS creates a number of hidden folders on external media that is connected to the computer, including your FOXPRO game call.

If you have a game call with a TX1000, the following steps will ensure that these hidden directories are removed from your game call by the utility.- Make sure the programming utility is closed.
