EOS Utility just ain't working with Windows 7

I've been reading lots of posts on the EOS Utility. There is obviously a problem with this working with Windows 7. Many many  people are having the same issue. It worked great with Windows XP.
Canon, please take note and please fix this issue.
I've read the posts and tried ALL of the fixes. None have worked so far.
So what's my problem.
I connect my 7D to my PC and the EOS Utility opens. It starts to download my images then WIndows 7's utility for downloading also opens. I select 'Start to download images' in the EOS U. The EOS Utility then disconnects/Fails.
I've downloaded and installed the latest drivers, software etc etc.
There is a problem here with Canon's software, but unfortunately I don't see Canon doing anything to fix it.
Canon. Can I pleeeeeeese have a fix from you.
Solved!

Great!  But I will reveal in the fact you got things working.

  • EOS Utility not working with Windows 10

    Hi all,   I just upgraded to Windows 10, and immediatly ran into the problem that is described in this thread about Windows 8: http://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/Eos-Utility-problem/td-p/1189 After reading that thread I decided to unplug the other USB devices I had in the computer at the time (Garmin Watch, USB key, smart phone) and turn off the camera.  I then turned on the camera and ran the EOS utility and it found my camera and worked correctly. Clearly this problem is still not resolved, but that simple work-around gets me downloading my pictures again.  There are a lot of other things people tried in the above thread, but I just unplugged the USB devices and was good to go.

    Well......your option works... but i found another solution, bit of searching but it works.Through the startup folder of windows the eos utility will auto start when starting windows.but if you edit the shortcut in the startup folder to start "eos utility 2" (leave the rest of the shortcut in place) it will bring up the utility apparently in a different mode (or another version of it ) that will recognize the camera as soon as you conect it (and switch it on ) have not yey found out how to start it in the system tray but will keep looking

  • Recently upgraded from Windows 7 to 10. Now EOS Utility app does not work.

    Recently upgraded from Windows 7 to 10. Tried downloading photos from my 5D Mark II, but EOS Utility app does not work to Select Images to Download, unlike before. But when I disconnected my External Hard Drive, EOS Utility app main window works normally. I need the external hard drive connected all the time. How can I fix this problem, please? Thanks.

    This sounds like a hardware problem with your computer.  A USB port puts out a certain amount of power and can be used to power external devices... such as hard drives.  But the camera does not use any USB power -- it runs on the power from the internal battery.  It only uses the data pins to communicate. But you are describing a situation in which having one device connected a to a USB port prevents a different USB port from working.  That can happen if the device in one port is drawing too much power (it can prevent other ports from working correctly.)   Did you have this problem when using Windows 7?

  • Driver to have HP Laserjet C4120A (HP Laserjet 4000n) work with Windows 7

    We just put in 28 new Dell OptiPlex 3030 AIO with Windows 7 Professional in a school computer lab - but the tech guy did not install a printer for it to print to because he says our current printer - an HP Laserjet 4000n (C4120A) - is too old and will not work with Windows 7.  This is an EXCELLENT printer and has been working for us for a long time and I hate to give it up.
    Would someone please direct me to where a driver for this printer that will work with Windows 7 - or will Windows 7 automatically determine what driver is needed and retrieve it from its set of drivers it has with the operating system?
    Thank you so much for helping!

    Hello,
       I've seen this same issue with my printers (other HP printers) whereby the default setting to support the Duplexing hardware was set to 'off'.
      A quick method to check this is look at what the setting is for Duplex hardware in the Device Settings tab, and if it's not set, correct it.
      Printer Properties:
      From the 'Start' orb -> [Devices & Printers] -> right click on your Printer icon -> select 'Printer Properties' -> click on 'Device Settings' tab.
     You should see a dialog similar to the mine (attached): look for the 'Duplex unit (for 2-sided printing)' and see if it's set to "Not Installed":
        --> in either case, click on 'Not installed' and from the dropdown box, select 'Installed'... Click 'OK' to accept the changes and close the dialog.
    Printing Preferences:
     again, right click on your Printer icon -> select 'Printing Preferences' -> click on 'Advanced' tab.
     -->Check to see if there is a 'Duplex Hardware' or '2-sided printing' option in here: mine doesn't show one but thougth I'd mention it nonetheless.
      Click on the 'Finishing' tab and select 'Print on both sides'...or simply test print a multi-page document and set those preferences on-the-fly.
     Let me know if this helps...

  • How can I get my Canon A620 to work with Windows 7

    Just signed up here, ot the brightest with tech stuff. I'm trying to get my Powershot A620 to work with Windows 7. I'm guessing there's drivers I need to down load ? Will they be on the Canon website or on this help site ? 
    I'll keep looking around. 
    Steve

    If you need photo software and don't have any you can download Canon software here.
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/digital_cameras/powershot_a_series/powershot_a620#Dri...
    But if you already have software you use there is nothing special you need. Ether connect the camera using a USB cable or remove the SD card from the camera and use a card reader (either an external one or the computer may already have one built in.)
    If  you decide to connect the camera via USB you don't need a driver; its built into W7.

  • Should an iPod Nano 2nd Generation Work With Windows Vista?

    I understand that many people are having problems with their iPods and come here for support and solutions.
    I'm just wondering if the iPod Nano 2nd generation 4g I have that is working just fine SHOULD work with latest iTunes on Windows Vista laptop (which I haven't used yet)?

    Just to close this out I was able to connect the second generation 4g iPod Nano without issue. In a matter of minutes I had it loaded, recognized by iTunes with up-to-date software, sync with over 900 songs and almost 200 pictures and then ejected (I manually manage music)! Really sorry for those who can't get iTunes and/or iPod to work!

  • Does iTunes work with Windows 8?

    Does anyone know iTunes work with Windows 8? I know 10.7 was just realeased and I wondered if it added Windows 8 support or will I have to wait for iTunes 11?
    Windows 8 is not beta anymore, it is RTM although I know a public release isn't until October.
    I just want to know if people have it working or not.
    Many thanks

    I just installed iTunes 10.7 on windows 8.
    I can confirm the issues with iTunes on the windows 8 release preview still exist.
    Meaning that iTunes does work, but some devices cannot be connected nor synced. This seems to be a driver issue.
    For all I know what does work: iPad 1, iPad 2, New iPad, iPhone 4S.
    What does not work: iPhone 4.
    These I know for sure myself, other devices may or may not work, but I didn't try them myself.

  • Will Ipod Touch work with Windows 8

    Will IPod Touch work with Windows 8?  Why is that not even a listed option in the help feature?

    Apple has just not got around to revising the documentation to reflect Win 8. Just use instructions for Win 7

  • Does it work with windows xp

    does it work with windows xp

    Another consideration for you now is that MS has officially dropped support for XP.  You will get no more secirity patches or stability patches.
    I am not telling you that you must abandon XP, just reporting a fact.
    Good luck with your issue.

  • Does the iPod Mini Work with Windows?

    I am thinking of buying an iPod mini but I don't have an Apple computer. Does the iPod mini work with Windows efficiently? Thanks....

    Hello Ian,
    Can you be really specific about the necessary Windows XP updates needed? I run XP Pro on a rather new computer and just got an IPOD mini. I'm ready to tear my hair out because iTunes seems to crash my computer every time I change one CD for another. iTunes runs REALLY, REALLY slow for me. Also read on the board that iTunes 6.0 and the mini don't work well together. True or not true?
    Thanks - Genevieve

  • HP LaserJet 6L won't work with Windows 8

    Good afternoon all,
    Right I inherited this great little printer last year, it worked great with Windows 7 but now it wont work with Windows 8, it appears to be installed and the drivers are all up to date but when I use it to print a pile of random characters come out on the pages and doesn't stop. I've reinstalled it and installed it again and again every different way but it just doesn't work and HP says that it is compatible (there is a green tick beside it somewhere on your website). Could it be that I'm using a cable that is parallel at the printer end and USB at the computer end that is at fault?
    James.

    I had the same problem, and fixed it.
    Control Panel - Devices and Printers
    Click on "Add a Printer"
    Click on "The printer that I want isn't listed"
    For USB connection, choose "Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings"
    Pick an existing port.  I use a cable that has LPT port at one end, USB at the other end.  So my choice is USB001 (Virtual printer port for USB)
    Now you see the list of manufacturers and models.  Before doing anything, click on "Windows Update" and let it run (takes a few minutes)
    Once the update is complete and you're back to the list of manufacturers and models, select HP as the model, and select HP LaserJet 6L as the printer.  Without Windows Update, it will only show "HP LaserJet 6L PS Class Driver", which causes the problem.  Stick to "HP LaserJet 6L"
    The rest is straight forward.  Print a test page and check if it comes out right.  Good luck!!

  • Getting old Laserjet printers to work with Windows 7

    Hi Everyone,
    For those of you, like me, that may have an old Laserjet 4, 5, or 6 I figured out how to get it to work with Windows 7!
    First, new computers do not have LPTx ports. So, when you first set up your Laserjet you MUST select a USB port - this is the main problem with getting your old laserject to work on a new computer.  MY computer dispalyed USB001 and USB002. Since I have another HP printer installed using USB001, I selected USB002. You will also need a Pararellel to USB adapter cable - you can buy one on Amazon (I paid just $11.87).
    Next, when selecting a printer driver  you MUST select HP, NOT Hewlett Packard. Scroll down until you find Laserjet 4,5, or 6. NOTE, if you don't see these models, click on the Windows update button in the dialog box. NOTE: This may take a few minutes to display the updated list. Again, select HP and scroll down the list of drivers until you find your model Laserjet (Laserjet 4, 5, or 6).
    At this point you should be good. Just finish the install process and make sure to print out a test page.
    Good luck !

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/

  • Networked Officejet Pro K850 not working with WIndows 7

    At work, I have a networked Officejet Pro K850 and I can not get it to work with WIndows 7 Pro 32-bit OS. I have read several forums on this problem and tried some of the suggestions and nothing works. My print server is running WIndows 2000 Server. Not sure what else to do so I am writing this post hoping someone has a solution to this problem. After I installed the printer is has a green checkmark by the printer icon, but when i do a test print page I get the 'document failed to print' error. I have also tried the Windows update and used one of the printers on the listing to no avail.
    I downloaded the Universal PCL 6 driver and installed it on the WIndows 7 PC. I ran the utility and it recognized and successfully installed an HP Lasertjet 4350Dtn, I say successfully because I was able to print a test page. HELP! Thanks in advance

    Hello Betty7,
    Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome" to the HP Forums.
    I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see that you are having an issue with getting the printer reinstalled. 
    I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.  If the Doctor fails, please let me know where it fails as well as any error codes it may generate.
    Thank you for your time.
