Installing Oscar on Mac Pro

[bigjeff218]

My son just gave me a Mac Pro from circa 2011.  When i try to download Oscar it notes that i cant download unless its from apple store or authorized accounts.

That's a security feature in your Mac!  If you downloaded OSCAR from the link at the top of this forum then it is safe.  
To get around the security warning, open a Finder window and go to your Downloads folder.  Find the OSCAR file you downloaded 
(should be OSCAR-v1.0.1-macOS.dmg) right click the file, press the Option key, then select Open.

A window should open that shows OSCAR.app.  Now open a second Finder window (from the top menu bar on your Mac choose File>New Finder Window).  You may have to rearrange the windows so you can see both.  Now click & drag OSCAR.app to your Applications folder in the second window.

You can now close the first window that has OSCAR.app.  In the Finder window look in the Applications folder for the OSCAR.app you just dragged there.  Right click again, press Option key, select Open.  It may ask you if you are sure you want to open it, click OK.

After this, Oscar will run without giving you that warning about not being from an identified developer.

eplantz: the feature "allow from anywhere" has been removed from current OSX versions, but the Option key still works.

G'day Bigjeff. Welcome to Apnea Board.

On a 2011 computer the operating system might be superseded. OSCAR requires MacOSX 10.12 or later.

Thanks to all for the help.  I got Oscar installed on my computer.  Now if i just knew how to interpret the data.

No need to interpret your self, post a daily graph following the instructions in my signature in the general forum and we will comment

Yes, we can help interpret your data but it's always best if you can do something for yourself. (Teach a man to fish...)

There is a wiki article on interpreting the data here: http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php...rpretation

There are also bits & pieces of interpretation scattered throughout the OSCAR help system here: http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php/OSCAR_Help
