Latest MacOS update (10.15.2) broke USB tethering?

Hi Folks,

I have been shooting tethered for the last few days but this morning I failed to connect my camera (X-H1) to Capture One (v20). Tried rebooting, removed the battery from the camera, checked for latest firmware and software. Nothing. Then, on the same MacBook, I tried to run Fujifilm X Aquire, nothing. Updated it to the latest version, still nothing. I then tried to connect the same camera to an older MacBook with another cable. It is also running macOS Catalina, but it does not have the latest patch that was released this week. I was able to use X Aquire instantly.

Would someone be so kind to help me to narrow down the problem? Do you experience issues too whilst shooting tethered via USB on MacOS with the latest update (10.15.2) installed? Otherwise there might be an issue with the Macbook itself or the Tethertools USB-C cable I am using. Perhaps X-T3 users too?

Thanks a lot!

Sander.

Hi Olaf,

I am aware of the official release and support, but in my case the Fuji X Aquire software never stopped working when I upgraded to MacOS Catalina. Also, on my other laptop which is also running Catalina but on 10.15.1, so one patch level down, the Fuji software still works. My problem is actually broader than just the Fuji software. I normally use Capture One for USB tethering (v20 as we speak), and have been doing so since V20 was released last week. It only stopped working after I updated MacOS this week hence the question if other users also experience the same behaviour.

Thanks,

Sander.

I did some more digging and found a confirmation of the behaviour on the Phase One forum:

So basically all USB tethering for (AFAIK) all camera's is broken in Lightroom, Capture One and X Aquire on MacOS 10.15.2. Perhaps it is worth mentioning this on the website @Olaf W.

      Hello, If you look in the top right-hand corner of each posting, there should be three dots in a row, like this —>  …  <—, click on them and after a moment or twelve, a small menu should drop down from the dots, the last entry in the menu is ‘Edit’. Choose that and after a moment or three you should be in edit mode for that entry. Note: Only you can edit your entries.

      Jerry I found out it's a Cherry Blossom but I can't figure out how to edit it.

      What is most ironic about this is that there must be many of us here that would be interested in significant ads about the products we're discussing. I would be. I normally hate ads, but relevant ones here would actually be somewhat welcome. What are the recent new Fuji product announcements? Is anybody offering a sale? How about 3rd party products? I mean, I actually want to spend money, more or less.

      CANNOT BACKUP OR RESTORE X-T4 SETTINGS WITH FUJI X ACQUIRE

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      I don't think I have your answer, but it's worth trying. It's been a few days, are you still struggling with this? I've used Acquire (on an iMac) and an X-T4 (also an X-T5 and an X-T30 ii) and it worked, at least as far as backing up. No error messages, and a computer file with stuff in it. I understand you get an error message when you attempt to restore the camera from a backup, but, does it look to you like the backup phase is working? I mean, do you get a saved file and no error messages? Do you have any other Fuji cameras, and does it work for them? I have had problems getting Acquire to detect the camera. I did all manner of playing around with starting the software, plugging in the camera, and powering the camera on, in various orders (including what the instructions say). I always got it to work eventually, but it took lots of playing some times. Lately it fires right up. Somebody here commented on this difficulty and the security obstacles in the computer. Are you getting a connection easily, or after trying things, or not at all? Does Acquire show your camera model and the few settings it displays correctly?
