Blitting not working for the osx backend is a long standing issue due to differences between what is allowed in the different gui frame works.
You have to change the backend via `use` before you import pyplot. If you are still getting the error it is likely you tried to change the backend _after_ pyplot was imported, in which case the `use` command does nothing.
