I have the most current Mac OS 10.13.2 but still unable to update Firmware for Sony A9. Every time I try to use it after plugging in cable it just freezes up MacBook Pro (Late 2015). Since installing High Sierra I have not been able to update any of my Sony cameras. Never had this issue until High Sierra.
“Please Note: Mac OS 10.13 High Sierra users must first install Mac OS X Driver Loader before running this firmware update.”
Thanks Brain. That did the trick. Do you have to use this DriverLoader each time you update a firmware or just once? Thanks again for your speedy reply. Cheers!
Should be just once.
