Body: <p>I just got an Mindstorms EV3 for Christmas, and learned that you can have the NXT communicate with the EV3 in the NXT software. I tried to install the NXT software on my Mac, but all that happens is a gray box pops up and stays there. I have macOS 10.13.2 High Sierra, and I'm wondering if that might be the problem because they don't update the NXT software anymore. Is there anything I can do to fix it?</p>
