EOS Utility availability for Apple Silicon?

joelberman — Tue, 26 May 2026 17:58:20 GMT

With the update to Tahoe 26.5 Apple says they will no longer support Intel binaries. Do you have plans to release EOS Utility for Apple Silicon? If not, what is your solution to transfer images from my EOS R5 to my Macbook? I know I can use a card reader, but that is not the solution I want to hear.

Just use ImageCapture. I have never used canon software to transfer images. And I have been doing this since the last century. If you are using a usb cable make sure WiFi is off.

Thanks for the link, Joel. I asked for a link because I was hoping that you could share one from Apple. This news : rumor isn’t new. It’s been floating around for at least a year .

Rosetta

Deprecations

As announced at WWDC in 2025, macOS Tahoe 26 is the last release to support Intel based Macs. Additionally, Rosetta support for apps will end after macOS 27. Starting in macOS Tahoe 26.4, users will be notified when they launch apps that use Rosetta of the upcoming incompatibility.

During the beta period, the cadence of notifications will be accelerated, enabling Apple and developers to address any issues that might occur.

There will continue to be support for older, unmaintained gaming titles leveraging Rosetta along with software running Intel binaries in Linux VMs.

Organizations using a device management service can control the notification experience with the allowRosettaUsageAwareness key. (169228455)

https://support.apple.com/en-us/102527

Rosetta is currently available for any Mac with Apple silicon, and it will remain available through the forthcoming macOS 27 — the next major macOS release. Starting with computers using macOS 28, Rosetta functionality will be available only for certain older, unmaintained games that rely on Intel-based frameworks.

When I updated to Tahoe 26.5 the other day it was a notice that popped up, but I did not know how to get to that notice again. You can find Apple's notes here. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple-silicon/about-the-rosetta-translation-environment
