sleepyhead and MacBook Pro
I tried to download Sleepyhead but got a warning/not allowed to download since not from Mac app store.  Anyone else experience this? Is there a workaround?  thanks!

I've not had a problem downloading a file because it isn't in the app store. I have had problems opening unknown files, however. Be sure to select save in the download popup instead of the option to open it. Save it somewhere you can find it, like the desktop.

Once the SleepyHead.dmg file is downloaded, right click on it, then select "Open." You'll see a new popup asking if you're sure you want to run the app on your Mac. Just hit "Open" again and you're set.

RE: sleepyhead and MacBook Pro
I have a MacBook Pro Retina and Sleepyhead runs fine.  There is a setting in Preferences which you (or someone else) has set which disallows internet programs.  The idea is that everything from the App store has been checked.  You can ignore it with Sleepyhead.  If this were a really good answer I'd tell you what to change, but I had a stroke and can't.  I can just tell you that Sleepyhead is fine on a Mac.

Launch your System Preferences app and head to the Security & Privacy preference pane. You have three choices here. You can set Gatekeeper to Allow applications downloaded from the Mac App Store, the Mac App Store and identified developers, or Anywhere. You probably need to set the setting to anywhere to allow sleepyhead to install

The Resmed Airsense and the Aircurve, other than the ASV,  are supported,

I hope this may help.

EDIT: Thanks to LarryRapp's post below, all Resmeds are supported.  It's the Dreamstation ASV that isn't supported.  Sorry for the misinformation.

RE: sleepyhead and MacBook Pro
Actually I have an Aircurve ASV and it is supported.  At least it works for me.

Thanks Larry! I guess i'm having a senior moment. That should have been a Dreamstation ASV.

I'm using SleepyHead with a ResMed Airsense 10 Auto. Did you get SleepyHead installed?
