help with initial installation

Hello,
I'm new to CHDK. I have an A590 and am working on an iMAC, OSX.
I downloaded the indicated (full) version of CHDK  (1.00e) and it shows on my SD card.With the card locked, the camera doesn't power up. I have to unlock the card to get it to power up. But now the menu doesn't show the new firmware update option.
Please help!

Welcome to the forum !

Please read this wiki page carefully http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ/Mac

pay special attention to the "Still having trouble ?" section near the end of the page

HTH,

a) pls. check whether your fw version is really 1.00e --> CHDK wikia - FAQ

b) with the CHDK files on the SD card, power on the camera in playback mode (mode switch to the blue [>] sign),
press MENU, scroll down...the "Firmware update" menu item is not available in record mode / when the lens is extended.

c) Read the Mac FAQ, especially Still having trouble

*edit: lol, whim was fast this time  :)
