      For troubleshooting purposes, try rebooting and running it again.

            Unfortunately this isn't a problem that can best be handled here. You should really try communicating with the developer of ApplePi-Baker at:

            http://www.tweaking4all.com/forums/forum/software/macos-x-software/

            Also, you can use the dd command from the OSX terminal if you end up stuck for other solutions.

              The adjectives found in this topic title should refers to the topic title itself. Not to the problem.
              Please, describe your problem in the title.

                Agreed - I will change it but please use descriptive titles next time. If everyone posted for help with "I have a problem" the forum would be unusable.

                  Have the same problem with ApplePi-Baker 1.9.3. Tried two different Retropie images. Stops at "Waiting for recipe (idle)".

                  Has anyone found a solution?

                    Have you upgraded from a version that was previously working?

                      No upgrades, all new to this. Solved it by using a PC but would be nice to get it working for next time.

                        @magnil I had problems with ApplePi Baker when I formatted my card using the Mac version of SD Formatter. If you haven’t already, try formatting with Apple’s built-in Disk Utility and select the MS DOS (FAT) setting. Everything worked great for me after I did that. Also, I’m still using ApplePi Baker v1.81 — and as suggested earlier, something may have gotten broken with the newer versions.

                          Thanks. Used Apples formatting, will try earlier version next time!

                            Now it is next time :). Tried disk utility and FAT but it does not work. Anyone know where to download 1.81?

                            Edit: Just realized I have another Mac at home. . . Both Macbook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.5. The other one worked great, baking now. Same SD-card, same image file. Wonder why?

                              I had this same issue (2 years later!) with the latest Pi Baker, but after unzipping the (retropie) image manually first, everything worked fine.
