If the CFM doesnt discover your devices (NextStar, CGX, CGX RA Switch, CGX Dec Switch), you need to check some settings in the CFM, as follows.

If not, click the Try Again button until you get the packages downloaded.

You should see the progress indicated below, such as (12 packages) and a percentage.

The number of packages and speed will depend on the status of your devices when you started.

I ran a bogus alignment sequence with the mount sitting on my office floor to be sure everything seemed operational, too.

If the CFM doesnt discover your devices (StarSense HC, CGX, CGX RA Switch, CGX Dec Switch, StarSense Accessory Camera), you need to check some settings in the CFM, as follows.

REPEAT UNTIL NO FURTHER UPDATES ARE NEEDED (I only needed to click Update one time, for a total of 8 packages.).

Otherwise, each of those steps has to be done for a full firmware update, even on Windows.

I was fortunate with my 10 year old Mac (10.6.2) to be able to daisy chain the HC, MC (6 year old 8SE) and camera to the computer using a usb cord from my 12 year old Nikon D40.

I tried to update wirelessly from my MacBook Pro but the StarSense HandControl would not show up, I tried all 4 Aux ports.

Everything showed up and this is without loading any drivers or pressing any buttons on the HC.

After that I ran the update and only the HC needed some updates.

I tried the wireless connection again for fun but the HC still didnt show up.

Kicking myself for not trying but at least it got updated with the tried and true cable connection.

Had success on the first try with my Evo 9.25 with Starsense.

Now just waiting for the skies to clear- maybe Monday night.

I have an evolution mount and star sense, am using a MacBook pro to do the updates.
