10.15.2 has broken tethered capture

16-inch Macbook Pro


10.15.1 tethered capture with Canon 5DMK4 bodies worked fine with C1Pro 20 and 12 as well as Canon EOS Utility.


After 10.15.2 update EOS utility just hangs and crashes and C1Pro cannot access cameras for tethered shooting. Tested and confirmed broke with Canon and Fuji bodies.


uninstalled/reinstalled C1pro and EOS utility.


MacBook Pro 16", macOS 10.15

After about 2 hours at phone with Apple Support Italy here the results:


We have created a new Administator Account on my MacBook Pro and magically everything returns to life, tether my A7rIII works with every app installed (Sony Remote, C1Pro 20, Lightroom 9.1, Darktable). So Apple Support tell me that maybe there's something wrong with permission in my account.


So we turn back to my account and tried to reset permission with this procedure:

then I restarted my Macbook. 

C1Pro 20 and Darktable finally see my Sony and now I can work again  


The only one app that doesn't work yet is Sony Remote, but this is another mistery.

10.15.2 has also broken the Fujifilm Tether Plugin Pro for MacOS in Lightroom Classic 9.1.


It was tethering fine by USB 2 days ago on 10.15.1, but since 10.15.2 none of my macs have been able to detect either my X-H1or X-pro3 (latest firmware). And I've got a tethered studio shoot lined up for tomorrow... or not, now. Lightroom just hangs on "detecting camera" before giving up.


Adobe blame Apple, Fuji blames Apple, I guess Capture One blame Apple too.


Please can we have a fix asap?

Same problem here. Initially thought was a software issue and removed all settings, reinstalled all software, no solution. Then found this post as well as the announcements on software support pages. I’m using a Canon EOS 100D.

Hey Apple, this is my hobby but what’s the damage to everyone who works with photography?

Please, do fix this quickly in next update!

I also work with tethering capture, and was really disappointed before Christmas. I take photos on Christmas events and people buy direct printed pictures. I take RAW photos with Canon EOS Utility + Lightroom, and had to use Wireless to transfer pictures. That was very slow, I had to modify my workflow and say to people "please come back in 10 minutes to take your picture". That's just inacceptable !!
