macbook does not recognise my canon digital camera

When I connect my Camera Canon 700D to my macbook it does not recognise it. I cannot download any photos to my macbook. Can anyone give me a solution?

If your macbook has Yosemite, 10.10.x, there may be a drivers issue with Canon and other makers.

You could check to see if there's some general condition similar between your situation and those

of persons in the past few years whose experiences are found in this search result:

If you are using the new Photos or a previous version of iPhoto, (OS X version depending) these

will sometimes ignore a camera; or you can set the computer's OS X to ignore a camera so it will

Not load automatically all the images into an application. I have mine set to not auto-download;

since I do not want the Mac to use iPhoto or any image editor by default.


There is an EOS image utility that may be required (to be installed) that may have been included

with the camera, or perhaps available at Canon support, before some cameras can share images

with the computer. In Windows and in OS X. In several instances, without this, you cannot even

hope to see the camera's recorded image files or the camera, as an external disk; so that could

make retrieval of them almost impossible.

Canon has launched Digital Photo Professional (DPP) 4.0, the first sweeping overhaul of Canon’s RAW processing software since its launch

You could look into Image Capture, the included application that can be used to get image files from

devices, cameras and sometimes from scanners, etc. This may or may not be helpful to your situation.

Depending on the OS X build version & step your MacBook has running in it, the options may vary.


Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
