EOS Utility availability for macOS Sequoia

[khevere1]

Does any of you tried to download EOS Utility for the last updated software in MAC? Still not available for me.

[StephenNowlin]

Thanks, but didn't work for my 90D connecting to MacBook Pro with Sequoia 15.0.1.

[StephenNowlin]

Thanks for the reply, Stephen -- I use bluetooth EOS Utility to transfer photos from my 90D to my MacBook Pro for further processing in Photoshop. I recently upgraded the Mac to OS Sequoia 15.0.1 and now the EOS Utility no longer works. Like everyone else here, I'm frustrated and trying various solutions mentioned, but none work. I guess I'll just have to wait until Canon has an upgrade for the 90D/Mac-Sequoia. Hoping that's soon.

Thanks. I downloaded 3.18.41. When I initiate bluetooth on the 90D, the EOS Utility window on the Mac opens but will not let me proceed (options are not highlited -- see image). 90D camera says "Connection target not found."

[Stephen]

Have you set up the connection in the camera?

Well, I hate to say this BUT the EOS Utility software just quit working on my Mac using OS Sequoia. I made some changes on the camera and for some reason the EOS Utility no longer works. I’m getting the same error message. It says to turn off all software communicating with the camera. I’m guessing that I’ll need to uninstall the software and reinstall it. This is really BAD! Obviously Canon hasn’t truly updated their software and need to provide better service to those of us using their cameras. This is convincing me that in the future I’ll be staying away from purchasing additional Canon cameras.

I’m sorry this was tagged as a “solution” because it seems it was only temporary. 

[StephenNowlin]

Yes, I have been able to establish a connection -- the camera sees the Mac via bluetooth, and the EOS Utility on the Mac opens automatically when the camera connects -- as in the photo of the Utility page I attached above. But the EOS options are not highlighted and I am unable to proceed further.

EOS Utility 3.18.41 on a MacBook Pro lalptop running Sequoia 15.1.1 definitely DOES NOT WORK! My 90D connects to the laptop and opens EOS Utility 3 -- but the options on the EOS window to download images are not highlighted -- dead links.  WHEN IS CANON GOING TO FIX THIS?

Hello Rick,

Apple has been sending out Beta versions of Mac OS Sequoia for months, ever since their WWDC event on June 10, 2024. This happens every year so they certainly weren’t taken by surprise. We’re now into December and still no update that seems to work consistently. In my case, for example, what I did last week and reported on here has been marked as the “Solution” when I’ve clearly stated that when I subsequently made some adjustments in my camera (I changed the frame rate and maybe something else) it suddenly stopped working again. Fortunately for now I have another app that will download the files on the card to my Mac but to be able to see my camera in an external monitor attached to it I have to unplug the connection to the computer. Having a fully functional app would certainly be much better.

You state we Canon owners need to be patient. It’s now been seven months for Canon to fix the bugs in their app and make it available to us. At this rate by the time the update is made Apple will have released a new version of Mac OS.

Ok, apologies for the frustration and all-caps earlier. It seems now to work! -- EOS Utility 3.18.41 on a MacBook Pro laptop running Sequoia 15.1.1. I downloaded that EOS version a few times, then scrubbed it from the system and tried other versions. My final try with 3.18.41 worked and the only thing I did different before attempting to launch the EOS was set my Mac screen resolution to its highest at 2048x1280. Normally I have it set lower, to alleviate eye strain. Otherwise I have no idea why the EOS suddenly woke up and worked . . .
