Thanks for joining the conversation, Juris77!

So that the Community can help you better, we need to know exactly which version of macOS is running on your computer. That, and any other details you'd like to give will help the Community better understand your issue!

Thanks and have a great day!

I use EOS utility  3.18.41.0 on a 2019 iMac running Sequoia 15.3.1

I use a USB cable to tether the camera and tell EOS Utility where to save the files.

If Google Drive has access to USB storage media, I have seen Google Drive prevent EOS Utility from running. Solution was to deny access to external storage by Google Drive.

Other programs claiming ownership of the USB port might also keep EOS Utility from running.

macOS Sequoia 15.3.1

is anyone using the old versions? 

yes, but the problem is that I don't want to use the cable when taking pictures. on older versions the utility works, files are transferred to jpg. - wifi. but with the latest version, eost utility can't even run on macos, it hangs

 ok,  but I don't want use the cable (during photoshoot) older macOS or macbook versions works with eosutility,  and send jpg files, but lastest version macos sequoia not

Has there been any update on this? I'm running MacOS 15.3.2 on an M2 Max Studio. with EOS version 3.18.5 and it will not connect to the camera. I tried over wifi and via cable, new cables and nothing. Is the Utility going to be updated at some point?

Apple keeps moving the goalposts every 4 weeks or so.  Your MacOS was just released three days ago.  Apple has already announced 15.4 to be released very soon.

You can see a revision history at the above link.  What is the point of creating a version for v15.3 when it will be obsolete in less than a month?

This has been an issue since I've updated to MacOS 15. On the downloads page you can see that the releases are broken up by major releases not the incremental updates, and MacOS 15 is missing. Incremental updates are not pushing any goalposts for an app like this.

This has been an issue for many years with Apple. It’s not just a Canon issue, either.  It happens to all the major manufacturers.
