Canon Tethering in OSX 10.5.2

May 27, 2008 | Tips & Tech Support, Tim, Doug

The Problem

The most recent release of the mac operating system broke the ability to tether a Canon dSLR to Capture One 3.7.8, but the fix is very easy. The reason for the problem is that Apple included a program associated with Apple’s photo program Aperture, which interferes with Capture One’s ability to connect to the camera.

The Short-Term Fix

1. Open [Hard Drive / Applications / Utilities / Activity Monitor]
2. Select the process Type8Camera and push “Quick Process”

This will allow the camera to tether to Capture One until the computer is restarted.

The Long-Term Fix

1. Open [Hard Drive / System / Library / Image Capture / Devices] and copy the file “Type8Camera.app” to a different folder (e.g. your desktop) as a backup.
2. Delete the file “Type8Camera.app from the Devices folder.

This will prevent the problematic program from launching and permanently* solve the problem. It will also prevent Aperture from tethering to your dSLR.

*It is unclear whether a major OS upgrade (such as the upcoming 10.5.3 release) or updating/installing Aperture will restore this file and require deleting it again.
