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.

      X-T4 accept external timecode?

      By Chas · Posted

      The Tentacle Sync Timecode tool is the one I tried. I couldn't get it to work. But that is probably my fault, not the software. I seemed to get a file, but I couldn't turn it into anything meaningful.

      GFX 100s not connecting to Mac via USB-C

      I am glad to read you are able to get this up and running. Pretty much as long as you connect the camera and turn it on and wait a few moments for the computer to register the connection, you can then use Image Capture (which actually is a very decent program with a lot of options for transferring images from cameras to the computer) or Lightroom or other programs to move the images to your library. There are some drawbacks; connecting to the computer while it is in sleep mode will waste your time, the connection will not get recognized— you will have to unplug the camera, wake the computer and start over. Trying to connect while the screen saver is running may work, it may not, often not. If the computer goes into screen saver mode while the camera is connected and sitting idle, it usually stays connected when coming back out of screen saver, but if the computer mputer goes into sleep mode, the connection gets dropped and you have to unplug it and start over. I suggested having the camera turned off while connecting, this is to lower the possibility of static electricity discharges frying either the camera or the computer or both. A lot of times you can connect while the camera is turned on, but not always, sometimes you have to unplug, turn it off, reconnect and turn it back on. A lot of this comes from Apple’s approaches towards keeping USB devices from hijacking your computer, some is just hubris and some is from the vagaries of chance. p.s. Your laptop should be able to connect to the camera.

      X-T4 accept external timecode?

      Hi Chas, I am just fallen into the rabbit hole of investigating how to upgrade my X-T4's video sound... Loving the idea of time code sync, I am now quite concerned that the X-T4 doesn't support it, although I have already seen different statements on the net, like here:  https://youtu.be/xja27RmvbhE?si=hIch3Tu_MH_pWSBH&t=571 I have to admit, this guy's "explanation" gets quite confusing in his further discourse ...:) BUT, as you wrote that you use Tentacle Sync for Windows!, did you also try with their windows-only software "Time Code Tool" which you find here?: https://tentaclesync.com/timecode-tool   Would love to here if you found a workaround with the XT4 Best, Simon
