Hi Björn,
I have sent the information to the development crew, and I'll see what they say about it. It would have been easier if you got an error message inside Bridge for Mac though, but we'll hope for the best.
If you want help in Swedish, feel free to PM me.
Best Regards,

CS4 Bridge Crashes When Sony HDR-SR11 MPG Selected

Greetings all,
I'm brand new to CS4 moving from CS2 and have not used Bridge before. I use a Sony HDR-SR11 cam. If I try to access the cam hard drive through bridge or open a folder with MPG files from this cam, Bridge CRASHES. I get the "Adobe Bridge has encountered a problem and needs to close"--Send Error Report/Don't Send pop up window.
If I try to open an MPG file from this cam that has been processed by another program--burned to DV then ripped back to MPG using other software, the file works just fine.
I have tried opening the cam's MPG files...
Directly from the cam drive -- crash
From files copied from cam to computer hard drive with Windows Navigator--crash
From files on computer hard drive placed there by Sony cam software.
The MPG files work fine in Premiere.
I have installed all the Adobe Updates for CS4.
PLEASE HELP!
THANKS!

Unable to sync Z3 to Sony Bridge after update

Hi,
recently updated Sony Bridge for Mac to the latest version, and attempted to sync Z3 to computer. However while the software tries to retrive information from my phone, it abruptly stops and informs me of that "it is unable to form a connection and try reconnecting. if problem persist, restart device". I've tried both and still have the same error. I've reinstalled the Bridge software and am still getting the error. Is there anything i can do to fix this software issue?
The phone is perfectly working fine. am using usb cable that came with phone.

Hi TLeon!
Sorry to hear that you have problem with BFM.
It is very hard to know what your problem is.
But if you send me your error-logs I will forward them to the development crew.
Here’s how to get error logs from Sony Bridge for Mac:
1. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the "Phone" menu. Select "Clear logs" to remove all old logs and get a clean start
2. Reproduce the problem you're having, whether it's connecting the phone, importing photos, doing backup...
3. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the ”Xperia” menu. Select "Export logs"
4. On the computers desktop there should now be a file named "SonyBridgeForMacLogs_[date].zip
5. PM that file to me or post the contents here
Best regards

Sony bridge won't update xperia mobile on iMac

Hi I have been trying to update my sister's xperia u using Sony Bridge for Mac. Twice I have 'chatted' to Sony online who obviously know little or nothing about Mac. I have disbaled the firewall as the person suggested to no avail. I laso looked to make add Sony Bridge to the exceptions in firewall but can't find it (not an approved Apple App?). Any suggestions

If Sony can't support their own product, well, you know what to think about that. http://www.markspace.com/ offers Missing Sync software for Macs and non-Apple smart phones. They may offer one for your Sony. And they have done smart phone links to Macs for sometime.

Unable to perform update with Sony Bridge for Mac

I have not been able to update my Xperia Z1 (model C6906) through Sony Bridge for Mac.
While attempting this in SBM version 3.5 the following messages would appear:
There was an issue with the update engine. Please contact technical support. (reason:failed to start local server)
then:
There was an issue with the update engine. Please contact technical support. (reason:failed to parse installer XML(code 11))
SBM has now updated to version 3.6(3602) and still no luck. The software is able to download the update engine but then remains stuck in the initializing phase, talking to update engine.
My phone is at build# 14.1.G.2.257. The proposed update seems minor, as the build # doesn't change but it would be great to have this issue resolved in time for kitkat 4.4
There doesn't appear to be a problem with the phone as the staff at the Sony Store were able to perform my initial out of the box update with PC Companion.
My Mac is running OS10.9 and the java version is 1.6.0_65
Any advice would be much appreciated

In the mean time it would be worth updating the version of java you are running on your MAC:

Problem with Xperia P and Sony Bridge for Mac

hi there,
I'm trying to update my Xperia P to ICS and, since I've not received any notification, I'm using Sony Bridge for Mac (my phone is not firmware branded).
So, i plug my phone at the mac, starting Bridge and wait for the download... until my phone turn off itself and Bridge advice me that no phone is connected. How can i solve?
Thanks

Unfortunately it's not possible to get back to Android 2.3 if you have updated to Android 4.0 I'm afraid.
To be able to sort it out and get the phone back to the way it should be - now slow or "laggy" - I'd recommend you to try performing a repair of your phone's software first of all.
Just follow the instruction above given by my colleague Samuel and you'll hopefully easily solve the issue. Fingers crossed!

Sony Bridge for Mac doesn't work with my Sony Xperia J

I have installed Sony Bridge for Mac version 3.7.1, but it won't connect to my Sony Xperia J which I have only had for 3 months.
I get the error "Could not connect to your Xperia device. Please disconnect and reconnect it again. Restart the device if the problem persists". All the time.
I have tried all of the suggestions in the error message. I have also tried reinstalling Sony Bridge for Mac, to no avail.
I am running Mac OS X 10.9.2 on an iMac. I am also using the correct USB lead - the one supplied with the phone.
The Mac system log shows this error:
Apr 3 20:42:35 robins-imac.default Sony Ericsson Bridge for Mac[973]: BUG in libdispatch client: kevent[EVFILT_WRITE] delete: "No such file or directory" - 0x2
I suspect that whoever wrote Sony Bridge for Mac did not try it on OS X 10.9.2.
I am seriously thinking of getting rid of this phone and getting one that works properly with the Mac - ie, not a Sony phone. Sony always seem to have problems with supporting Macs, for some bizarre reason.

Hi Yorkshirecomposer,
I will ask the development crew about the system log error. Additionally, could you provide me with error logs to send them as well?
Here’s how to get error logs from Sony Bridge for Mac:
1. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the "Phone" menu. Select "Clear logs" to remove all old logs and get a clean start
2. Reproduce the problem you're having, whether it's connecting the phone, importing photos, doing backup...
3. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the ”Xperia” menu. Select "Export logs"
4. On the computers desktop there should now be a file named "SonyBridgeForMacLogs_[date].zip
5. PM that file to me or post the contents here

Sony bridge for mac RESTORE phone not working after exchange xperia from Sony

Hi everyone,I have been sent an exchange unit from Sony to replace my previous xperia zThis phone has an older imei number than mine and wont allow me to restore using the Sony Bridge for Mac softwareIs this because of the different imei number???i have lots of notes, messages stored in a previous backup using the Sony bridge for mac softwareWhich i need to retrieve onto the "second hand Marked and scratched exchange unit" which Sony have sent me DOES anyone have a sollution to this please Thanks in advance... Steve

Hi Echo_steve Unfortunately, as I expected, you're not able to restore to another phone. However, there is one possible solution, but there is no guarantee it will work and it might mess things upp so you'll have to do it on your own risk. I'm afraid that's the best I can do for now. Here's how to work around the restore block. Again, use this with caution as there's no guarantee it will work. Also make sure Bridge isn't running when you attempt this:- Do a backup of the new phone
- goto ~/Library/Application Support/Sony Ericsson Bridge for Mac/
- Go to the "Backups" folder and find the backup sets
- Try to locate the old backup folder and rename it to the name of the new backup.This can be quite tricky, as the folders are named things like "CB5A1JYXNQ". But basically, if the backup set of the old phone is named "ABCDEF01" and the backup set of the new phone is "ABCDEF02", it should be enough to remove (or rename) the new backup set and rename the old one to "ABCDEF02".
Again, I'm sorry there's no easy fix. Please let me know if it works for you. Best Regards, David

Browse files on Xperia device - Sony Bridge for Mac

is it just me, or is using the Sony bridge for mac's "Browse files on Xperia device" pretty useless?
Sure you can see what files are on the device, but if you right click there are no options... you can't hit space bar to view pics on the device and even double clicking on a file does NOTHING! Isn't there something else I could rather use other than Sony Bridge for Mac to view my devices files?

Not a Mac expert but with Windows based systems you can open the Computers connected devices page and then open the device to view files meaning Pc Companion is not needed

Sony Bridge for Mac wanted an update, and phone won't switch on now!

Hello
Today I was trying to transfer some files from my phone to my Mac. When I connected my phone the Sony Bridge for Mac has asked me if I would like to update so I clicked yes and it began updating, with my phone connected. Then out of sudden, my phone switched off and it won't switch back on. It will only vibrate and show the Sony logo but won't go any futher. I tried the combination of vol+ and on/off button and many others, but nothing works!! I need my phone very urgently at work, and I really don't want to loose any files!!!
Please help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It sounds more like you had a system firmware update and you may have disconnected your phone as this process was happening - All you can do I'm afraid to say is a system repair but this will erase all data on your phone

Sony Bridge Can't Connect To Internet After Updating To Mountain Lion

I've tried multiple times now, to get Sony Bridge to check for updates, but every time I try, I get the following error:
Cannot Check For Updates (no internet connection)
I'm on a 2008 iMac, connecting with a Live With Walkman.
My Mac is online and the problem only occurred after updating the OS to Mountain Lion (10.8).
Thus far I've tried going into the user library, and have deleted the two Sony folders present in the Application Support folder, but to no success, I still get the same error.
I'm firing this up regularly to see when ICS is going to drop in Belgium, so I'd be keen to hear of any possibile solutions. Thanks.

Hello OneManLaptop
ML came out 3 days ago...There is as of right now no tested version of Bridge for MAc available for it.
You will need to wait for the Update of the application but right now we can't provide a ETA for it.
Sorry for the inconvenience that this may cause you.

Any experience with iTunes syncing to Sony Xperia Active?

I'm considering getting a Sony Xperia Active only becasue it's more durable than an iPhone, but am curious if anyone has any experience with its syncing to Apple software like iTunes, iMovie, Address Book and iCal?
Thank you!

Not really any of that from reading the software information. It seems it just does it on a basic file transfer level, not interfacing with any of Apple's actual applications (not surprisingly). Playlists are actually part of the iTunes library, not the media files. While you could add a "playlist" to it by dragging the files to the device, it would just be adding a bunch of files and you would then have to figure out how to get them structured into a playlist format the device understands. There may be third party software packages that go beyond the basic one I linked but you would have to search.
On the calendars and addressbook, again, no interface with Apple's applications. You'd have to export the data into some format the device could then import. Maybe not impossible but certainly not seamless.

Bugs report for Sony Bridge for Mac

Hello,
I'd like to report two bugs on the Sony Bridge for Mac software, thanks to inform the development team about them:
- Conflict between Sony Bridge for Mac and the Image Capture (more precisely the PTPCamera process):
When the Xperia smartphone is connected to a Mac, after 30 to 40 seconds a process called PTPCamera start to analyze the pictures inside the device. This process is a subprocess used by the Image Capture software, which is included with Mac OS X and allows to retrieve pictures from an APN.
If Sony Bridge for Mac is launched too early, before the PTPCamera process finish its work, than Sony Bridge fails to recognize the phone and invite to try to unplug and replug it. In fact this is a pretty bad advice in that case, as unpluging and repluging will make the PTPCamera process to restart from the beginning.
If we wait patiently for a few minutes (between 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the amount of pictures in the phone) that the PTPCamera process finish its work (we can monitor its CPU usage using Activity Monitor to know if it's working or not), and than we laucnh Sony Bridge, the phone recognition works just fine.
Knowing that, it'd be great if the development team can work on that issue so that Sony Bridge works even if PTPCamera (and so Image Capture) is running, even if it implies a longer necesary time to recognize the phone.
- Other bug: If the amount of data transfered to the phone is important, Sony Bridge may freeze in the middle of the transfer
For example, I've a music library of about 2000 songs representing 12GB of data. If I try to transfer it all at once, Sony Bridge will freeze after some time.
This occurs either when using the iTunes synchronization option of Sony Bridge, or using the file explorer.
Also the transfer speed is very low.
A workaround to that issue is either to transfer small amount of data at a time, but it's not very practical.
Configuration used:
MacBook Pro Core i7 2.3GHz
8GB RAM
Sony Bridge for Mac 2.2
Xperia S with Android 2.3.7 and update 6.0.A.3.73 installed
To reproduce these issues I recommend to test with a phone containing a lot of data inside, both in music (I have 12GB of music) and pictures (I've about 100 pictures), this would greatly help fixing these bugs and testing the software stabiltity and performances.
Best Regards

Hi and thank you for posting. I have highlighted this thread to one of my colleagues working with Bridge for Mac. I hope he can get something useful out of it.
