10.15.2 has broken tethered capture

Indeed, it works with wifi and it is very very slow !

I hope nevertheless that Apple will repair the problem....

Apple has not cared about professionals for a long time.

I am not surprised at how slow it is to fix a problem like this.

They prefer to sell earpods !!!!!!!!!!

I’m not sure that’s quite right. You are basing in an older version version of the utility. It worked fine with 10.15.1 but the latest update broke tethering. Canons latest utility v3.11 works fine on my MacBook running 10.15.1 but broke on 10.15.2. Not only for the EOS utility but the tethering has broken for other applications with Adobe. See the latest utility.

I can also confirm that Catalina 10.15.3 fixes tethering in Lightroom Classic CC. My Canon 6D showed up right away like it did under Mojave. This is using the Apple USB-A to USB-C adapter with my MacBook Pro 16".

It confirms that the problem was not from Canon, Adobe, Sony... or a 32bit problem.

Tethering capture works now with the update, and zero word from Apple... 😕

With the high price that we pay for « the best computers in the world », it’s just unacceptable !

Agreed. I'm glad we finally have a fix , but as a professional photographer tethering is the main function for my 16in MacBook Pro so it was rendered useless for well over a month. Not good enough Apple.

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 !!

I can also confirm on my Canon EOS 100D it now works again. Amateur, compared to most of the professionals in this discussion.

I have to say, sadly, I did not expect any word from Apple: that would have been admitting how big they’re scr**ing things up lately.

Backing up now, making sure I have a time machine recovery point to go back to, should something similar happen again.

It looks like 10.15.3 was released today.

Does anyone know if it has fixed the tethered capture issue. It is not listed as a fix in the link above.

Thanks

With the Update out:

Create an Time Machine Backup:

Important: Create a Time Machine backup of your Mac, so that you can have something to recover your Mac from, should anything go wrong.

And here the Sony Remote App:

The camera are connected with usb3 (port on macbook) to usb-c (port on Camera).

Same here with my Sony A7rIII, impossible tethering in C1Pro 20, Lightroom Classic 9.1 and even Sony Remote app.

I've tried everything.

Same problem here in France with my Canon EOS 6D / 7D. Does not work anymore in Lightroom, EOS utility and others.

I cannot work anymore since 10.15.2 update ! 😡🤬

Hello, same problem for me since this update 10.15.2

I contacted Canon France and I wait for an answer !

Try to create another administrator account in macOS Preferences, reboot, login with the new user and try the tethering with your camera...does it work?
