Downloaded R5 firmware 1.9 but doesn't open on Mac

Walkershots

I downloaded the R5 firmware update v1.9.0 (in hopes of fixing an Auto Focus issue). The download put a standard DMG file in my downloads folder (eosr5-c190-mac.dmg). But when I double click the downloaded file, it does a quick animation indicating that it is opening, but, it doesn't. In effect, nothing happens when I click on the dmg file. (BTW, my OS is Ventura 13.6.1) Am I doing anything wrong? Anyone else encountered this issue?

Thanks

In Finder, bring up Settings... and then select the General panel.  Ensure that the following items are checked:

  • Hard disks
  • External disks
  • CDs, DVDs, and iPod

Finder SettingsFinder Settings

After double-clicking the .dmg file, this should show an icon on your desktop.  Double-click on its icon to open its window which will reveal the firmware and instructions.

Thank you, but I seem to have a different OS. Under General, I get different options, but not the one's your post shows. But those items you have checked do already show up on my desktop.  😞

Thanks. I found the .fir file and am updating as we speak.

Hi Walkershots,

You'll be making changes to the settings in Finder, not in System Preferences from the Apple Menu.  

Open Finder and select its settings.
