What computer software is needed for the powertap software? Is it mac compatible?
Yes it’s Mac compatible.
What about the WKO+ ? what does the powertap software consist of?
I just have the PowerAgent software that came with the PowerTap. I also downloaded the trial version of RaceDay, but haven’t been using it long enough to recommend it yet. PowerAgent seems pretty basic, but that makes it easy to use.
Yes. Mac compatible. Never had a problem.
But if you use Training Peaks you have to choose between PowerAgent or TP - can’t use both as there is a driver incompatibility.
I use Microsoft Windows not a Mac. Based on what I’ve read on the various forums (especially the Wattage group), I skipped even loading the PT software and just went ahead and started with WKO+. There is a lot to it. I am pleased by the parts of it that I have figured out so far. It provides lots of insight into my bike training and also loads my running files from my Garmin 305. You need to learn all about CTL, ATL, TSS, and TSB for it to be worth your while.

What incompatibility? Is that why my PowerAgent downloads only partially download and then hang?
If:
You have a Mac
And have installed PowerAgent
AND you have used Training Peaks Device Agent on that Mac
THEN the PowerAgent app will no longer work.
PowerAgent has its own driver.
TP has its own driver.
And you can’t have them both installed on the same Mac.
I went through a lot of trouble shooting on this a year or so ago and assume nothing has changed. I opted to stay with PowerAgent as opposed to TP.
If you have done the foregoing you need to delete BOTH drivers and programs, restart the Mac, and then install whichever one of the two you want to use.
