Problems copying .hex to NRF51-dongle

I am running 10.10.2 Yosemite and using the nordic bluetooth dongle for the NRF51 microcontroller.

At first, once I upgraded to the latest segger drivers for mac (4.96e), everything worked fine. I would drag and drop the .hex file into the jlink drive, it would then disconnect from the mac while writing the new program and once it reconnected it would be running the code as intended.

After a few times doing this, unexpected behavior began. Now, when i drag and drop my .hex file into the jlink drive, it will disconnect and reconnect as normal but it will not be running my code once it reconnects.

I dont know if my code is not being transferred to the jlink correctly or if there is some other problem. Does anyone have any debugging tips or have any suggestions having dealt with something like this before?

Thanks in advanced!

(sidenote: when i use the same process on my windows7 pc, everything works perfectly, even with the same .hex and bluetooth dongle)
