Since upgrading to Mavericks, many of the applications that used to run are now incompatible. Now, the software required to recognise my camera (Fuji XP170) is now not supported: Error message "You can't open the application "FinePixViewer" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
What's the work-around here guys?
MacBook, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
As you have proven, Fuji's latest XP series software is not compatible beyond OS X 10.6. This is confirmed according tto Fuji's Compatibility of Application Software with Macintosh | Fujifilm Global Support page.
Mac OS versionsafter OS X 10.6.x do not support any Power PC apps. If you continue to use OS X 10.9.x, I suggest that you delete all PowerPC apps. They waste disk space and cannot work on your 10.9.x system.
The only three workaround suggestions I can offer are:
(1) Contact for United States | Fujifilm Global and ask if they have or are planning an iNtel version of their software.
(2) Restore your old compatible Mac OS X version and keep using your old software.
(3) Get a newer camera that is compatible with the Mac OS X version you want to use.
Simple. Don't use the fujifilm software. I never use camera softare - i juts pull teh SD card, plug it in, copy the files, and use whatever i want - iPhoto, Gra[phicConverter, Photoshop, ....anything.

That's a mighty fine suggestion. Only problem with that is: This Macbook has no MMC slot.
None of these suggestions are satisfactory. EZ Jim's suggestions were however, valid.
Instead of doing any of the above, I'm just going to buy an MMC to USB adapter as suggested by a work colleague.
Huh? Satisfactory?
