D7000 Tethered Capture Not Working

I've used tethered capture for years. Just upgraded to a new IMac running High Sierra, 10.13.6, and subscribe to LR Classic CC. I am unable to tether my D7000 for image download into LR. I've reset LR preferences and updated my Nikon firmware. So far, I've had to remove the SD card after every photo shoot - lucky the computer has a SD slot.

Tethering is what's needed!

I started reading in the forums and the most recent post I saw ( 2016) said that I have two choices, downgrade my OS or do a LR pay-for upgrade. REALLY Adobe???

Please tell me Adobe isn't this user unfriendly. Is there a workaround? Or should I get out of LR all together and use something else.

Thank for your help!!!

Ok, did not notice that the original discussion is so old. Has the OP, perhaps moved on, has the issue been resolved. Was my previous post if no value.

Stop stop stop!!!

one issue of contention is extremely not clear. Version.

So, please, please, with sugar on top, accomplish the following

In Lightroom, click on Help, click on System Information, click on Copy. Paste that in your next reply.

This will provide several provable important bits of info, LR version, OS version and build, display size, GPU make and model, GPU driver version, if LR is using Metal (good) or OpenGL(bad) (DirectX in Windows OS). Your enabled plug-ins., info after that rarely if use in this forum.

Oh, one additional bit of info, that the above might not supply, tether plug-in version.

Same problem with my EOS 6D. So frustrating! Updated my OS and no more tethered capture. For me, that eliminates the major feature I found useful with LR. Any help on this???

What "Same problem"? The OP was apparently asking about Importing by downloading photos to the computer (not tethering)

The EOS 6D has been supported for tethering since Lightroom Version 5.2 https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/tethered-camera-support.html

A list of cameras that can be tethered to Lightroom Classic CC and Lightroom 6

You do not state your version of Lightroom, or the OS you updated- so there may be an incompatibility there with the OS.
