Problems to install FUJIFILM X Acquire on Macbook PRO "Cannot start FUJIFILM X Acquire. Another camera control application software is running."

[Gilson]

Greetings from Brazil!

  I have 2 questions:

   1) I get the following error when I try to install FUJIFILM X Acquire on Macbook PRO running macOs Big Sur 11.4: "Cannot start FUJIFILM X Acquire. Another camera control application software is running."

   What can I do to be able to install?

   2) Am I going to be able to use my X-T30 to recording in 4K using "Streamlabs OBS Recording Software" after I install "FUJIFILM X Acquire"?

Since you are using a MacBook, applications that use the on-board camera like FaceTime does while running in the background, may be getting in the way.

This may help:

I do not use the program you listed in your second question, so I do not have an answer for that one.

Thanks for your help. I tried everything on that page, even to run the command 

sudo killall VDCAssistant;sudo killall AppleCameraAssistant

and nothing worked. 

How could you guys, Mac Owners running the latest mac OS Big Sur in Intel based architecture install the "FUJIFILM X Acquire" software? Thanks.

Not an expert on MacBook Pro but I own and use one. Just a guess that the apple photo app may be in the way…

I hope it’s that easy…
