PMB portable / iPhoto in OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion)

I upgraded my System last week to Mountain Lion. The problem now is that I can not download videos/pictures from my camcorder to iMovie or iPhoto any more due to breakdown of iPhoto and PMB Portable programs during start up after connecting the camcorder.


Anyone has any experience with this problem? Would appreciate getting any support.

Hi,


Yes, I can access the file system via the finder, and for the photos I can do copy and paste without problems. For the AVCHD files the Mountain Lion aloud the view with Quick Time, but saves all the clips together and not one by one. The IMovie imports directly from the camera clip by clip. What annoys me is when I connect the camera via USB the PMB comes on automatically and crashes after a couple of seconds. Lets hope Sony comes with an update. Thanks for the replies.

Same issue here. Anyone have an updated solution other than running a VM in Parallels?


It's so typical of Sony to not provide a compatible companion software package & actually maintain it via updates. Not to mention the proprietary format we all struggle with converting to a compatible format & actually edit the video footage.


Ok this isn't helping the thread here, so next steps is I am diving into a workaround in the meantime & will post back any success.

I suspect that the issues is that Sony has not updated their software to use 64Bit - with Mt Lion you can not update camera firmware either because Sony software requires 32bit operations and Mt Lion no longer supports that - complain to Sony - they need to get their act together and update their software


You should be able to get the videos off the card using a card reader and the finder or iMage capture (or probably iMovie)
