how to disable the auto launch in canon EOS utility on my mac?

Can someone let me know if you can disable this from auto launching. I would like to use capture one and have the eos utliity on my computer as a backup plan. With the eos utility auto launching it will not allow capture to mount the camera. I tested it on my tower where I don't have the utility and capture works perfectly. So I am thinking it's the auto launch feature or it could just be that eos is installed and that takes priority.

 

I'm using eos utility 2 - 2.14.20.2 with a mark II

my os is Yosemite 10.10.5

 

Thanks in advance for any help

Cheers,

Brad

In the Canon Utilities folder in Applications there would be an EOS Utility folder. In that folder would be an app EOS Utility and a folder EOS Utility 3. If you run the app it gives you the icon on the top menu bar.

If you right click on the EOS Utility icon in the top border of the screen you should be able to select don't start EOS Utility when camera is detected.

I've tried that and I get no pop up or dilioag box for that option. I am 99% sure I truned this feature on a long time ago too. It's crazy I've searched everywhere. prefs, system prefs, image capture, os backend. Thanks for you help! I got capture one to work with it now but it's anoying to have to quit it and reconect to capture everytime. I'll keep on looking for it today.

If you are in Image Capture I believe you need to have your device connected. Then at very bottom of left hand side there will be a triangle. Click that and you should be able to select software to be used when IC detects that device.

I did look at image capture and that was set to none. Strange there has got to be a fix

Go into Image Capture and change the preference to whatever software you want to auto-start.

Did you also disable the auto start of EOSU in the icon on the top border?

can you send me a screen shot of this disable button? I don't see it anywhere. I've clicked on every inch of the start screen. I'm getting a mark III today. so I'll be using the utility 3 now. but I still don't see the icon your speaking about.

thanks for all your help BTW. This is driving me crazy.

Start up EOS Utility. In the little square window in (usually) the lower right corner of the screen, right-click the EOS Utility icon. Click "Do not launch ...".
