The current version of Samsung’s popular program Kies has been through an update recently. Although Samsung Kies is said to work on any latest version of Mac OS X, for some unknown reason this multimedia management tool fails to keep up with its promise when it comes to Mac OS X Lion.

Thanks to this hero, updating Kies on Mac OS X Lion was a breeze. All we had to do was to install the older version of Samsung Kies and then update to the latest version, Kies 2.0.
