Since only a few of us tend to be on IRC I'll repeat it here...

It does appear that I am hard on dive computers. Not only are all of my OSTC dead, apparently I somehow managed to break my Petrel 2 as well. Or at least the BT part of it. But since that was the dive computer that worked great for Android downloads on my last dive trip, I kept trying with it. 

Going back to my older Petrel I was able to successfully download on my iMac using the process you outlined above. So at least now I have a starting point on the Mac. Next up will be BLE. Fun.

Thanks, Jocke.
