The name and exact location of the Apple driver on pre-Sierra OS versions is different though. I see that the instructions on the Parallax web site page for PropellerIDE specifically recommend downloading the FTDI version of the driver. If you are on a Mac and not able to see the FTDI in your Arduino IDE's listed COM ports, you need to install the FTDI drivers for your computer. When opening the iOS's device manager located in the /Applications/Utilities under the USB tree, the computer was able to see the FTDI. Since the drivers were not installed, the FTDI did not enumerate properly. Double click the FTDI driver icon to start the installation process. On MacOS (10.13) Sierra High and older versions the device driver should be installed to support Analog Discovery 1 & 2 and Digital Discovery devices. On MacOS (10.14) Mojave, the device driver is not required. Sierra Wireless. AirCard 250u works with wvdial/network manager; AirCard 320u (0f3d:68aa) works in WWAN mode, driver provided by the kernel. Kernel version 3.10 has a bug that causes the WWAN interface to never be in RUNNING state (no carrier). Use 3.6 kernel instead. AT command guide can be found here; for GPS to work you have.

This is normally pre-installed but if not you will need to download and run a driver installer from the official FTDI download page.

Microsoft Ftdi Drivers
Attention: Due to problems with the way macOS interoperates with FTDI USB<->Serial converter chips, you must install the D2xxHelper program from FTDI, even if you don't need to install the D2XX USB driver. You can download this from the official FTDI download page. Run this to install the D2xxHelper program. This is needed for USB Firmware Updater to detect devices connected to the USB port.
