Update the S1 Pro firmware: My mac doesn't see the product

Portable PA

Hi,

I am trying to update my S1 Pro from my Mac (macOS High Sierra)

On the btu.bose.com website, form the S1 pro page i have the message: "Turn the device power switch on and leave it on until the update is finished."

Here is what i did

1) I fully charged my S1 pro, i turned it on, and i have it pugged into the AC.

2) I plugged it to my mac with a micro USB cable.

3) I downloaded/installed to Bose app (from btu.bose.com), and run it (i can see it from my toolbar and the btu.bose.com recognizes it since it doesn't ask me to install it).

4) I unpaired my S1 pro from my phone (i know it's not a required step but i have seen that solves the same issue with peoples who try to update their Quietcomfort 35 ii)

So now i really don't have idea what i miss or could try, any idea ?

Of course i tried to restart my mac, restart the S1 pro, always the same error message...

Thanks for your help !

Hi Ludo,

Thank you for joining the Bose Portable PA Community. 

I'm sorry you're having a problem connecting to http://btu.bose.com

Have you tried using the Bose Connect App? Does it recognize your S1 Pro system.

If it does, you don't need to do the update through http://btu.bose.com

If Bose Connect does recognize the S1 Pro system:

  • Please try a different USB cable.
  • If that doesn't work, do you have access to another computer running Windows or a different version of macOS?

Hi ST,

Thanks for your quick reply.

My bose connect app doesn't recognize my S1 pro, that's actually what leaded me to this forum, where i discovered there is a way to update the firmware (i also may be interested to buy another one and use the stereo mode).

Tomorrow i will have access to a computer with Windows installed on it and another micro USB cable, i'll see how it goes, i'll keep you updated.

I forgot to mention but i am using Chrome, and i also tried with Safari (same issue).

Yo los actualice con Window y lo hizo en 5 min. La aplicación bose connec funciona muy bien en stereo y lo podes seguir usando asi en todas las demás aplicaciones, siempre mantiene conectado los dos S1 Pro. Lo único que recomendaría a la aplicación es agregar un EQ professional para usuarios de S1 Pro.

Saludos...

That's great news. Thanks for coming back to tell us you're okay.

Enjoy your S1 Pro system.

I have the same issue. My mac does not see the older S1 Pro.
I know its not a cable issue cause the mac sees the newer S1 Pro immediately it is connected with the same cable. What am I doing wrong? I am quite frustrated.
