I have a Canon 70D about a year old. I am struggling to connect to my Mac using Wifi.
I follow the steps up to the point where it says "start pairing" - I click OK. My computer tells me "EOS Camera detected, on network, click here." - I click connect. Then nothing happens.
The camea LCD message just hangs, saying "XXXXX - XXXXX pairing in progress. Start pairing software on computer if it's not already running"
Can anyone offer me advice on how to resolute this issue?
Thank you,
Phil
PS - I'm using the latest version of Mac OS Sierra. I have EOS Utility 2 installed.

Have you tried using EOSU 3 instead?

Just checking online, according to my researches, the latest EOS for Canon 70D for Mac OS is EOS 2.14.31 - Is there an EOS 3 available?
Could you send me a download link please?

Any version of EOSU 3 is probalby not compatible with your camera. Find the Canon support page for your camera.

There is a link to a few videos about wireless help.

Canon is not known for their WiFi connectivity. Yes, it can be done, but it is slow, cranky, and not totally reliable. While I am sure that there are those that are very happy with Canon's WiFi, I have yet to meet any of them.
I use Windows Explorer to network my cameras. I gave up trying to pair them with my Android or wife's Apple phones. (Besides, our phones already have decent cameras on them if I'm desperate enough.) D/L through WiFi is very slow when the file is a few mb. Using the USB cable to the computer is 10X faster.
Good luck.

I have had no problems whatsoever with Canon's Wifi connectivity. As Waddizzle noted above, the user should reference the appropriate support pages online and follow the instructions. That's what I did and I have had no issues.
