Tried a different wall wart and issue was solved.
=======================================
Greetings!
I'm new here, looking for help in troubleshooting an error I'm receiving with SimpleIDE RC 1.0.1 for Mac OS X. I've searched the forums for this issue and, while I did find similar posts, they offered no definitive solution for my ecosystem, hence I apologize for yet another thread on this issue. My dev environment is a MacBook Air (mid 2013), running Mac OS X Yosemite, SimpleIDE RC 1.0.1, and a Propeller Demo board rev G. The installation was uneventful, however attempting to load and run the welcome.c test produced the following output:

In the port drop down menu, '/dev/cu.usbserial-A700acgi' is the only port option. Mac OS X System Information shows:
--- begin ---
FT232R USB UART:
Product ID: 0x6001
Vendor ID: 0x0403 (Future Technology Devices International Limited)
Version: 6.00
Serial Number: A700acgi
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: FTDI
Location ID: 0x14100000 / 10
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 90
--- end ---
When connecting the demo board via USB, it powers on, LEDs blink, and all looks well, but the welcome.c test fails to load. Resetting the board has no effect. Any thoughts?
Thank you!

error: no propeller chip on port '/dev/cu.usbserial-AH00ONZM'
The funniest part is that the last program that I loaded from Windows into this QuickStart Rev A board is correctly streaming diagnostic print statements to the Terminal app over that very port, spitting out information about how far my hand is from the HC SR04 sonar sensor.
ANYONE USING OSX?
I've seen your symptom in every development environment I've used. Press the reset button. Load & Run again.
Also the Rev. A Quickstart can be quirky because of a conceptual design flaw (the gift that keeps on giving Parallax
Add a 10K pull up resistor on P30.

The initial reaction was chaos, all the USB ports were going crazy,
but then after rebooting it all started working correctly.
Thanks again.
