[Mac] Cannot update on camera PMB software DSC-HX9V

iangraham2 — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 15:56:58 GMT

Whenver I attach my camera to my Mac and launch the on-camera PMB software, the program tells me there is a software update for the on-camera software - the download is PMBPMAC15_Upgrade1110a.zip. But when I try and run the updater, I get the message: insuffucient space to install the software.

So what's the solution? Sould I just ignore PMB entirely and go with iPhoto (which is what I've been doing)?

Hi iangraham2, welcome to the Sony Forums

PMB Portable software is intended for online image publishing (Flickr, blogs etc) while you're away from your computer. You don't need to launch it when you connect to your Mac, just go straight to iPhoto.

If you've been using PMB Portable and want to update it, let me know and we can troubleshoot the installation. But PMB (desktop) isn't published for the Mac, so ignoring it's probably not a bad idea

Cheers

Mick
