Solution :

1.Download Samsung Kies: http://j.mp/dlkiesz

2.Open the DMG

3.Right click on the "kies20mac_s9218.pkg", then open it with "The Unarchiver"

4.You should see a file named "kies20mac_s9218", open it.

5.Right click on the "contents.pkg", and click "Show Package Contents"

6.Double click "Payload", it will create a folder named "Payload 2 2", double click it.

7.Double click "Applications", then you will see Kies, drag it to the application folder, installation complete!

Get The Unarchiver here: http://itunes.apple.com/app/the-unarchiver/id425424353?mt=12

I have the same problem as you but I think I found a solution.

1) Open the Kies menu and select Preferences

2) Click on the Update tab at the end

3) Uncheck the 'Notify when updates are available'

4) Close and restart Kies.

5) Now try connecting your device.

It now works for me. I think when the notification of the new version appeared, Kies checked the OS and doesn't recognise Mt Lion. I guess at that point the sync service must have been disabled by Kies.

You are an absolute legend. Thank you.

And yourself too :)

Yeah, it works

Hi I cannot get the unarchiver to recognise the Kies App so therefore won't open it!!

10.8

2.7 GHz intel Core i7 4G Ram

Tofufah,

I have tried your method and Unarchiver says it can't open the .dmg file, what am I doing wrong? I cannot get to the rest of your instructions beacuse it gives that msg. So I can't proceed with instructions:

5.Right click on the "contents.pkg", and click "Show Package Contents"

6.Double click "Payload", it will create a folder named "Payload 2 2", double click it.

7.Double click "Applications", then you will see Kies, drag it to the application folder, installation complete!

Any ideas?

Thanks
