I just had my PC fail and I built a new one. It uses Win 7 Pro 64 bit. I have a Canon 1Dmk2N that will not longer communicate with the EOS utility. My 1dMk3 still works as does my 5DMk2. I use the EOS Utility to set the clocks in all three cameras to that of the PC before a shoot. It keeps things simpler. Now, I cannot use the EOS for the 1DMk2N. I have called CPS, but they haven't a clue. Do any of you have any advice, absent manually setting the time?

The OS will find it when connected to USB, but the EOS Utility will do nothing. I connect firewire and the OS does not find it. I have always had to use the firewire connection to get to the camera settings like owner name and time set. Apparently, Canon as seen fit not to update the EOS utility to property see the 1DMk2N on the firewire bus. I have other firewire devices that do not have problems being recognized and utilized by the OS, this is not one of them.

Yea, firewire connection will only work with Windows XP 32 bit. I'm having a similar issue with my 1Ds Mark II and I'm about at the point where I'm going to partition my laptop's hard drive just so that I can install XP to get things like that changed.

XP or Vista 32 bit will work.
My old HP 5300's hard drive finally died a couple months ago.
I was going dual boot of one of my old 64 bit HP Elitebooks the 8530w or the 8730w.
But, I recalled that any 32 bit OS would work....We have a couple older 6707's with Vista 32 bit that we keep for visitors to use
.
Uploaded one of the old DPP discs onto one of these 6707's,plugged in the firewire to the 1Ds2 and viola,everything worked fine in the Canon utility.

I got my 1D X and EOS Utility and the WFT program is working great in communication with the camera on both the Windows side of my macbook pro retina (running bootcamp (dual boot)). I'm using the ethernet to thunderbolt adapter and it got recognized by windows today and everything works great. Very happy!

resurrecting an old thread related to my new problem...
I updated EOS utility with my recent T4i purchase (thank's to Fred's notification of the B&H $599 kit deal).
Unfortunately, my 5D (classic) now triggers EOS utility to report "Failed to communicate with camera..."
Anyone else encounter problems with the 5Dc (or other old bodies) with the latest EOS utility? Any solutions?
