Does OS Catalina support connecting a Canon EOS 6D to a mac desktop? My Mac previously would recognize the camera so that I could download photos. Now the Mac does not see the canon camera. I am using the Canon provided USB cable. I am running Catalina 10.15.5. My desktop is Mac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014).
Current Pro Desktops
have you tried to install canons software?
No. I am importing directly into Photos. I use the same process for my Canon EOS20D and my Canon EOS6D. I connect the camera with a USB cable directly to the Mac. The Photos app automatically opens and I have the option to review, import or delete photos on the camera. If I select import the images are transferred from the camera memory card to the Mac. The EOS20D process works. The EOS6D does not. It used to work but stopped and I am getting no error message. The camera does not show up in the Photos app as an option for image importing.
Got it, my process is I insert the SD card from my camera (happens to be Nikon DSLR) and open the Photo's app, then I select import and navigate to the card to selected the pictures I want to import. Sometimes, I will use also do the following:
Insert the SD card into the iMac slot, open a Finder window to preview the photos and once I have identified the ones I want in Photos, I simply drag them to the Photos app.
All iMacs have SD card readers, please look on the back of the computer. They have had them for at least 14 years that I know of.
Are you using Image Capture?
Thank you for the suggestion. My Mac does not have a slot for an SD card reader. Based upon your idea I'll try to find an adapter that plugs into a USB port or Lightning port.
Thank you for the suggestion. Image Capture would not recognize the Canon EOS 6D either. Still searching for a solution.
Thanks. My mac does have an SD reader. I thought the card was a different size.
Your welcome.
My canon eos 6d is not recognized by my Mac.
