yarg! A mac !
I don't know about EITHER of the main flasher's abilities with Mac's.
You may have probs with it.

Hmm ...the nokia software update wizard works fab on windows and the flasher 3.5 is great and works on linux fine...windows ok....but mac??? ...I must admit I have avoided macs the last few decades...it's enough for me to mess with windows and linux let alone adding Apple to the pile. You have far more expertise on the o.s. than I.

Unless the wiki can illuminate you concerning flashing on a Mac
http://wiki.maemo.org/Main_Page...
Only suggestion I have for you is say....running say ubuntu live on a usb drive on your computer..and THEN use the 3.5 flasher...OR fire up a vmware or virtualbox of windows or ubuntu and likewise then flash with the 3.5

Frankly.... someone else who understands "mac-eese" should weigh in to give you a hand on this one.
