Installing Samsung Kies on your Mac is not a big deal. Simply download the DMG file, run the installer and you have the Kies up and running on your computer in a few minutes. In between all this, there is a problem: the application just doesn’t work on every operating system.
For instance, when Apple released Mountain Lion 10.8 operating system, Kies media player stopped working. In this article, we will provide you with links on how to run Kies on every Mac OS, irrespective of the machine you are using — be it iMac, MacBook Pro, or any Mac device.
