eos utility doesnt recognize t4i/600d

[rosyjazz1]

I have eos 2 and when I conneced the t4i and turned it on, the eos utility would start automatically. Now, for whatever reason, it doesnt even recognize the camera is even there! neither does my computer for that matter! I do hear the beep when I turn on the t4i. 

I have tried reinstalling. Nothing. 

I have Windows 10.

Perhaps I need the drivers?

That once happened to me. My USB cable went bad. I tried a different one, and it worked. Do not know what went wrong with the first one. It spent its' life sitting on my table next to my laptop.  ???

Hello rosyjazz1, 

This section describes how to download images from your camera to the computer using EOS Utility Ver. 3.2.

The same procedures can be used to download movies as well as still images. However, downloading movies requires a much longer time due to their large data size.

IMPORTANT

• Please install EOS Utility Ver. 3.2 from the CD included with your camera, or download it from the Canon homepage.
• When using computers installed with Windows operating systems, please log on to the computer as an administrator.
• EOS Utility 3.2 is exclusively for Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, and Mac OS X 10.9, and 10.8.

Downloading all images that have not been transferred to the computer

1. Connect the camera to the computer with the interface cable supplied with the camera.

• Set the camera's Auto Power Off settings to [Off] or [Disable] before making the connection.
• For more information on connecting the camera to a computer, please refer to the instruction manual included with the camera.

2. Set the camera's power to [ON].

3. EOS Utility Ver. 3.2 starts automatically.

If EOS Utility Ver. 3.2 does not start automatically, click the [Start] button, then select [All Programs], [Canon Utilities], [EOS Utility] and then [EOS Utility].

NOTE
