Hi,
Could you provide a bit more information about the issue. What OS are you running Etcher on? What image are you trying to flash? What kind of drive are you using ?
Of course, please excuse me. I am using a MacStudio with OSX version 13.0.1 .
I wanted to install the latest image from Hypriot (Downloads · Docker Pirates ARMed with explosive stuff) on my SANDISC Ultra 32 GB.
The “drive” is built into the Mac. It is an SD card slot .
Is this information enough for you or do you need more to analyze the problem?
similar error logs were sent from other macOS users. The disable-screensaver part is totally unrelated, on the other hand
the gui.js:37 POST ... part is really interesting.
In version 1.14.0 the component responsible for that is completely removed.
Can you try a fresh release https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/releases/download/v1.14.1/balenaEtcher-1.14.1.dmg t see if it works better ?
Did etcher display the “password” prompt window, and did you write down your Mac user’s password?
Because I have a Mac M1 with Ventura 13.1 and it works perfectly. The only way I can reproduce your log is if I don’t put my password to allow Etcher to have root access to the disk (which is needed to write an image to it).
This might also happen if your user is not allowed to administer the computer (or in the “Admin” group).
Hi,
nearly same here. Running mac mini m1 13.1 tried 1.13.3,1.14.1 and now 1.14.2. Full disk access granted. With GUI it starts and switches back withn 1-2 sec to flash input.
Tried it 1.14.2 via shell and sudo, GUI starts up, choose file (different tried) and target, denn flashing and it aborts:
user@host~ % sudo /Applications/balenaEtcher.app/Contents/MacOS/balenaEtcher

Update for version 1.14.2 is not available (latest version: 1.13.3, downgrade is disallowed).

In GUI failed target shows: EPERM: operation not permitted, open ‘/dev/rdisk6’.
But I granted full access to balena etcher (I cant do more than activate the switch in full access menu, then restart balena). That also doesnt works while sudoeing.
@wolvi-lataniere Thank you for answer. Just updated to 13.1.0 and still nothing. I have only one account and it’s admin (I think that is, it’s my first MacBook after switching from windows), but if not I opened app from terminal with sudo prompt, typed password and still had the same error. Next I added app to full disc access in Settings → Privacy → Full disc Access and still nothing. Maybe I’m doing something wrong ? It’s possible that different program generates problems ? I have “NTFS for Mac” installed.
EDIT: also tried formatting pendrive from NTFS to Apple format and it not help
My experience with M1 MacBookPro, macOS 13.2.1 (22D68) and balenaEtcher Version 1.14.3 (full disk access granted), and running as the admin (and only) user is:
regular GUI launch stops immediately (the experience others have had) … password NOT requested.
terminal launch of . . /balenaEtcher.app/Contents/MacOS/balenaEtcher … stops immediately … password NOT requested
terminal launch of sudo . . /balenaEtcher.app/Contents/MacOS/balenaEtcher … completes successfully
Just to add to this, M2 running Ventura, I had all the issues listed above running the latest 1.18.4 build - i had to go back and grab the 1.14.3 build mentioned here to get Steam Deck SteamOS image to write.
I created an account to add I had the same experience as @realdannys. Trying to flash the Steam Deck image, 1.18 didn’t work, switched to 1.14 and it did.
