Existing users, 
I tried to update my installation of Maple, which was already at 10.04 (running relatively well on a 1.33GHz PPC G4 PowerBook w. 1GB memory). The result: The 10.06 updater ran OK, but afterwards, Maple wouldn't run "Kernel connection failure" or something to that effect.
The re-installed Maple 10.0, and ran the 10.06 update - and everything seems to be working fine..
I'm not quite sure, what the morale is here... It seems that if you keep up with the updates from Maplesoft, they stop looking out for you when they test the upgrades?

To avoid the Waiting for kernel connection problem with Maple 12 on Mac, before to follow the instructions in the How to install file do:Finder: Go -> Utilities -> Terminal and type:
cd YOUR PATH TO THE MAPLE 1212 FOLDER
chmod -R u+x *
Now follow the instructions in the How to instal file.
Maple should work.

Yeah, I had the same problem. (Curiously, on a machine with basically the same specs.) The same fix seems to have worked.Reply to This
