OS: OSX Monterey 12.3.1

H/W: Mac Studio - M1 Max 32GB

Software: LRC 11.3.1

Camera: Nikon D850

Issue

====

Start Teathered Capture, which creates a popup to relaunch LRC under Rosetta.

When LRC is running under Rosetta and you select start tether,

On the first attempt LRC crashes.

LRC needs to be restarted and the launched under Rosetta again.

On the second and subsequent "Start tethered capture", LRC fails to detect the attached Nikon D850 camera.

The camera is connected by a known working usb-C port via known working PRPteather usb cable, This same camera, cable setup works when conected to a windows 11 laptop running LRC 11.3.1

Upgraded to firmware 1.30 for D850. Now it works for me again.

Has anybody found a solution? I am facing this same problem with my D750 on my brand new Mac Studio. I can import directly from my camera through the same tether cable, but the computer/LR cannot detect the camera for tethered capture. I just get a spinning wheel. I have tried my cable through various ports, adapted and unadapted. I pulled out my old computer, and it connects fine (this is not an acceptable workaround). I went out and bought a new USB-A to USB-C adapter. All my firmware and software is up-to-date. 

 

Firmware is Ventura 13.0.1

Apple M1 Max chip

32G memory

LRC 12.1

 

This is incredibly frustrating, as part of what I purchased this computer for DSLR scanning, and am now SOL with a huge backlog. I already spent a few hours with Adobe support with the only suggestion to go buy a new cable, which makes no sense as a solution.

I just found out there is a known issue with Ventura and LR tethering for Nikon cameras.  All we can do is sit and wait for a fix.  In the meantime, I've been using a Capture One free trial to tether.  Considering permanently switching over.

    Has anyone had any luck with this.  My D850 all of a sudden will not tether.  It worked a few months ago with no issues.  Ligthroom has been updated a few times since I last tehtered and I have also update to the latest Mac OS.  The issue is not the cable.  When I start LR and connect my camera I can import photos from the memory cards.  It's only when I try to tether that the camera is not recognized.  I would hate to switch to Capture One, but not being able to tether is a show stopper.  Please help!!!  Thanks!

      Hi Rod,

       

      Thanks for reaching out. We are sorry for the trouble with Lightroom Classic's tethering. We are here to help.

      Could you please confirm if this has worked in the past and has stopped working since a recent update to the macOS or Lightroom Classic? Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?

       

      Please try that if you have any other cable to test the tethering function.

      There are a series of steps to help you potentially troubleshoot and fix the issues related to tether capture in Lightroom Classic in this article, and please give a detailed read through: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/troubleshoot-tethered-capture-lightroom.html

       

      Let us know if this helps,
      Thanks!

      Hi Sameer,

      This is my first attempt tethered shooting with OSX monterey (12.3.1) and the Mac studio as it is a brand new machine. The cable and camera can be unpluged and pluged directly into a windows 11 laptop runing LRC 11.3.1 next to it and it tether captures fine.

      I suspect that the issue is related LRC crash when you first start teathered capture under rosetta. I assume the crash details were uploaded to Apple/Adobe automatically.

      The crash only ocurrs on the first attempt after a system boot/reboot. Any subsequent attempt there is no crash, but the camerea is not recognised. So there is either an OS structure that is left corupted of there is some state information that is maintained across LRC restarts. I have attached the crash report.

      I have some interesting results from todays testing:

      I only had the crash once, where yesterday it seemed crash on the first attempt after each reboot.

      I tested the camera with 3 different USB cables, all atempts failed except one, were the camara was recognised. Repeating the test with the same cable did not work.

      I am starting to think we have a race condition. Maybe the crash dump will shed some light.

       

      Do you know when teathering be available nativeley for M1 architecture?

       

      Regards

      Rodney
