SkySafari 6 (mac) wont connect to Celestron Nexstar Evolution

I purchased SkySafari 6 for both my iphone/ipad and mac. I have a Celestron Nexstar Evolution. I have no issues connecting and controlling my mount using my iphone or ipad, but I cannot connect with my mac. I receive the error message below each time I try to connect with my mac. Additional info below.

-I was able to connect to my mount with my mac once when I first got the app. It disconnected and I haven't been able to connect again.

-The settings for my scope are the same in the mobile and computer app. 

     -Scope Type: Celestron Wi-Fi

     -Mount Type: Alt-Az. GoTo

     -Direct connect

-I have deleted and reinstalled the app on my mac. This didn't help.

-I do connect to the SkyQlink wifi when attempting to connect to the scope.

-I do not try to connect to the scope with multiple devices at once.

 

ERROR MESSAGE

SkySafari 6 Pro can make a TCP/IP network connection to the telescope's IP address, but the scope is not responding.  Make sure it is connected and powered on.  Also check that your scope type is correct.

    Hi Mark,

    Are you sure you have ScopeType "Celestron WiFi" selected?  Please confirm.

    Thanks!
