EOS Utility for Mac - no "Live Mode" in Focus menu (70D)

I recently began using the EOS Utility (v. 2.1.4) application for remote shooting, and I'm having a difficult time following the instructions for manually focusing the lens. With the lens switched to AF, and after the EOS Utility has opened to show the Remote Live View window, I drag the selection rectangle to the portion of the image where I wish to focus, then click on the magnifying glass to zoom in. According to the instructions, the Focus popup menu should include several focusing options, one of which is supposed to be "Live Mode" which then allows you to use the arrow buttons to step focus the lens.
Unfortunately, "Live Mode" does not show up in this popup menu. I see "Quick Mode" and a variety of AF related choices, but "Live Mode" is no where to be found.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Thanks!

I have no actual knowledge of that procedure, so consider the source. But I'd think that for it to work as you intend, the lens would have to be of the type that allows itself to be manually focused while in AF mode. You don't say what lens you're using, but not all lenses fall into that category.

Iphone config utility for Mac OS 10.5

Is there an iphone config utility for Mac OS 10.5?

Problem: Just got a new IMAC with System 10.5.4, now my Cisco VPN doesn't work. I had my files professionally transferred, vpn worked on my other IMAC, now it doesn't (Error 51). I downloaded vpnclient-darwin-4.9.01.0100-universal-k9.dmg, this version didn't work either (Error 51).
I have tried everything from repairing permissions to entering code in my terminal and still get the error. Any solutions to this frustrating problem? I have spent hours looking for solutions and rely on my VPN for work, so I need help fast!
Thanks to anyone with advice.

How can i download eos utility for air mac

i have canon eos 40d and cant install EOS utility in my air mac .....please help me

The most recent version of AirPort Utility is AirPort Utility 5.5.3 for Windows
If you are having trouble downloading this, Apple has just introduced a number of new Mac updates, so it is possible that the servers may be temporarily overloaded.

Re: EOS Utility for the iPad?

There is an IOS app but from Nick or On One software but the last time I looked it was $24.95. Plus you need to connect the camera to a WiFi enabled computer. So it is like shooting tethered with the ability to control your camera remotely. Being that I am a street and landscape photog I never saw the value.

If you use one of the more recent generation of wireless file transmitters on your camera then it is possible to "effectively" use EOS Utility on the iPad or any other device with a web browser.
WFT units, usually the Mk II transmitters, support HTTP mode, configure this then browse to the camera's ip address then you can choose remote control, there's a simple version and an advanced version.
I wrote about this on my site in January.
http://www.p4pictures.com/2012/01/controlling-your-eos-camera-with-your-iphone/
Of course this means you need to get a WFT for your camera that supports the HTTP feature. So if you have the EOS 5D Mark II / III, EOS 7D or EOS 1D Mark III / EOS-1Ds Mark III, EOS-1D Mark IV or EOS-1D X then you are set...

I was wondering if there will ever be an iPad version of the EOS utility? I'd rather use my iPad than a laptop to setup a shot with.

Finally! An .abr / brushes file viewing utility for Mac OS X!!!

<a href="http://www.pixentral.cm/show.php?picture=16MaNQbwWoKYWxvx6jYd7zX0Nzxp" /></a>
<img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/16MaNQbwWoKYWxvx6jYd7zX0Nzxp_thumb.png" border="0" align="left" hspace="6" />For the longest time, Windows users have been able to grab and use the free and open source "ABRviewer" utility to preview their brush sets without loading them into Photoshop. It was always so frustrating that it wasn't available for Mac users.
 
 Well, pine no more, my fellow Maccers.
 
 ABRviewer is finally available for us, too.
 
 WHOO HOO!!!

 The UI is kind of sucky in part because it takes a strange advantage of the space available in the right-side preview window, and parts of the way it works are kind of unconventional, but at least it works. Also, it doesn't keep a list of previously viewed abr sets in memory, so every time you fire it up you have to navigate to the folder of brushes you want to view.

Welles....
Maybe the ABR viewer utility for Windows keeps the UI populated with a list (and the PNG proxy images) of brush sets the user has viewed previously, but the Mac .jar version doesn't. At least it doesn't for me.
I sent a note to the software's author with a link to this thread, along with my misgivings about the way it works. Near as I can tell, he's a young guy, going to University, and this is just a little hobby project for him that he won't be devoting a lot of extra time to. I'd love to open a dialogue with him about how it could be improved, but I really don't expect he'll show up here to do that.
Photoshop's Preset manager is good, but still, you have have PS running and you have to load the ABR files just to preview the set. That's a little cumbersome IMO. That's why the ABR viewer is a cool utility...it just needs a few tweaks.

Will the EOS utility for the Rebel SL1 work with the 40D?

We first bought the Rebel EOS 300D many years ago and then upgraded to a 40D at my wifes shagrine (heavier) and have now bought my wife a new Rebel SL1. I would like to be able to download all three camers on my computer Win7 and her's WinXP. I'd like to know if the new discs that came with the SL1 has an EOS Utility application that will handle all three or at least the 40D and SL1.
Thanks much,
Bob

Hi, RobTrek6500!
The version of EOS Utility on the CD that came with your Canon EOS Rebel SL1 will allow you to download photos from both the Rebel SL1 and the EOS 40D, on both Windows 7 and Windows XP.
Unfortunately, the "Original" EOS Digital Rebel, known internationally as the EOS 300D, is no longer supported by current versions of EOS Utility, and going to an earlier version will cut out support for the later-model cameras. EOS Utility's setup does not support having two separate versions on the same computer, so we recommend sticking with the newest version as it will be the most convenient for you.
The best workaround for this is to use a memory card reader for the original EOS Rebel. Many desktop computers have CF card slots already built in, and if you don't already have a CF card slot, a CF card reader can be purchased for a low price at almost any electronics store. This turns your CF card into the equivalent of a flash drive, and image files can be dragged and dropped onto your computer with ease. Meanwhile, you can continue to use the current version of EOS Utility to download images from the Rebel SL1 and the EOS 40D.
We hope this helps!

HP Printer Utility for Mac

Recently I downloaded printer drivers/software for Mac Maverick OS for my ENVY 120 and Officejet 4630 printers. On both of the installs of the software, it said after closing the install window, another wndow would open automatically to finish the intallation of the HP Printer Utility. Neither did this, even after multiple reinstall attempts. I can see the HP Printer Utility in my Applications file, however, when I try to open it, it says it is defective or incomplete. I like the funtionality of the HP Printer Utility and it is referenced a lot in trouble shooting documentation. What to do? Thanks, Dave

Hi MacBookDave, Thank you for the reply and the additional information! It's strange that you don't have the HP Uninstaller, but that is okay, we will just have to take a slightly different approach. I may ask you to repeat some a step or two that you've already done, but it's because of the other steps we're doing. I promise every step has a purpose First, I'd like you to drag and drop the Hewlett Packard folder from your Applications into the Trash Can. Once that is done I'd like you to follow steps 1-15 in this post from to get the operating system driver for HP removed as well. Then I'd suggest that you download and run the software for just the Officejet 4630 from this link here. Once that is done you should have an HP Uninstaller in your Hewlett Packard folder. When you run it, please hold down the Control, Option and Command keys (the three to the left of your space bar) on your keyboard while clicking the Continue option then let go and proceed as normal. This turns the Uninstaller into a Scrubber. Once that is done, please do a verify/repair of your disk permissions again to make sure everything is where it needs to be before installing the Officejet 4630 from the download again. Make sure everything installed properly with it before trying the Envy 120. Let me know how this goes!

What software is getting the best results ?

Antivirus software is not really necessary on a Mac, however if you receive many emails and forward them to PC users it may help them. I don't use any AV SW on my Macs. If you want to use one to detect a virus on emails, get the freeware antivirus application for Macs - ClamXav @ http://www.clamxav.com/ .
You can use the freeware CarbonCopy Cloner @ http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html , or the freeware SuperDuper @ http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html , or the freeware IBackup @ http://www.grapefruit.ch/iBackup/index.html to backup your hard drive.

EOS Utility on Mac with Original 5D

I am trying to tether my original 5d on a Mac running OS 10.8.x. I can tether a 5D mkIII, but not the 5D mkI(original).
Is there something I am missing, or has the original 5D been excluded from the newer software?

Hi whphoto!
Thank you for posting. The newer software that is required for your EOS 5D Mark III and OS 10.8.x no longer supports the original EOS 5D. In order to download the images from the camera, you will need to use a card reader.

What is the best utility for mac book pro 10.10.2

What is the best utility/ antivirus program for a mac book pro running 10.10.2.

Drewski66 wrote:

Nothing that is not already incorporated in OS X 10.10.2.
There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
"Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose:Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
The same precaution applies to Adobe Flash Player. Newly discovered Flash vulnerabilities appear almost weekly.
Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver "free" movies or other copyrighted content that is not normally "free".
The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

Is Drive Genius the best disk utility for Mac?

I just wanted to see if any one had an opinion on Drive Genius? I have one computer that is brand new (Imac) and a Powerbook that is a bit old. I want to keep them both running in tip-top shape.

I've not used Drive Genius and cannot comment on that program but I have used Disk Warrior and Tech Tools Pro and Data Rescue. All three have fixed me up but if I had to choose just one of these it would be Tech Tools Pro because DW is a one-trick pony for the price and I think that Tech Tools Pro can now do what Data Rescue can do. I just didn't have it when I used Data Rescue but the app seems to have caught up doing what the other two can do. More for your money!
BTW: I didn't buy Drive Genius because when I decided on buying Disk Warrior I read some negatives about it. Things like additional corruption caused by running it and inabilities to fix things that seemed like Disk Utility could easily resolve. That was a few years ago so hopefully they fixed some of the failures it had that seemed as valid issues at the time.

Apple Printer Utility for Mac OSX?

I have a wonderful Apple LaserWriter 12/640PS printer that works and works and works. But in order to get a lot of information and to print a start-up page with the number of total sheets printed, I need to use APPLE PRINTER UTILITY 2.2 in CLASSIC (OS 9.2.2)--
Does anyone know if there is a way to get the utility functions of APPLE PRINTER UTILITY 2.2 in Mac OS X-- I'm currently running 10.3.9 on my PBG4 and Tiger 10.4.3 on my G4-733. Thanks!
Regards, Stephen C. Schulte Sunday 8 January 2006 @ 16:05

Hi Stephen,
I don't have a 16/640 but have read help docs on Apple Support. You should be able to access the printer via the telnet command in the OS X Terminal (maybe not the elegant answer you wanted!). There will be help by typing ? or help (I'm guessing).
telnet {IP address of printer}
Let us know.
