Thanks to all for taking the time to help.  Here are answers to your questions:

Jack W6FB 
Version 1.19.9.6
Several times it showed ”initiatializing” then nothing

David  N5DCH
Yes, warned about running something downloaded from the web.   I click Open, the app appears on the dock
Right click on the app:  Elecraft K3 Utility V1 19.9.6 -S/N 10755 on usb serial - A503xyao at 38400 bps

David  W4SMT
The K3 Utility menu appears but there is very little under it:  About K3 Utility, Services, Hide, Quit
I’ve rebooted countless times

Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

Once I found that and accepted their terms, the app popped right up.

I tested it just before this email , where I discovered there is a new load that requires a gain adjustment on the K3s for six meters.  I downloaded it and installed it and made the gain adjustment.
