EOS R direct tethering

[Andy Winters]

Whenever I try to start a tethered capture in LRclassic, the computer freezes and will not respond.  I am shooting an EOS R with the most current firmware updates and running LR Classicc with the most current cloud updates. My camera is recognized by the laptop (MacBook pro, Catalina) and will shoot tethered using Capture One, Smart Shooter and EOS Utility 3, so the physical connections are solid. I have followed all the Adobe suggestions: oreder of connection, deletingthe lightroom preferences, with and without freshly formatted card etc.  The camera shows a computer icon on the screen when connected with LR running. Shortly after selecting "start tethered session" and no camera detected still being displayed, the application freezes. If any of the othered tethered software is connected, it shows live view. What am I missing. I woould really not have to drop more money on Capture  1 Or Smart Shooter.

Just to check, in LrC, in /Help/System Info/, or in About. What is the exact version? v9.4?

[Andy Winters]

LR classis, release 9.4, camera raw 12.4. My Creative Cloud listing says it is the most update and non updates available.

Also, what OS?

[Andy Winters]

MacOS, Cataliina, 10.15.6

The EOS R is listed as compatabile, the iOS is listed as compatable with my version. I tried all the things suggested in the trouble shooting articles.
