No problems now with 64 bit Windows 8.1 BYE and Canon 60Da compatibility

[deepsky]

I am unable to connect my Canon 60Da  to latest version of Backyard EOS. Any suggestions?

They are compatible.

 

Please install EOS Utility and confirm that it works with EOS Utility first.  This will ensure all drivers are also install,

 

Keep us posted.

Also, which Canon option are you choosing in BYE when connecting?  Canon, Canon215, or Canon210?

 

You should be using Canon 215 with the 60Da.

 

Keep us posted,

The title of your post is incorrect. There is nothing about BYE and 64-bit Windows that are incompatible with your 60Da.

 

What version of Windows? If Win 10, did you upgrade from a previous version? If so, I would suggest that you re-install the software that came with the 60Da. If I remember correctly there have been a few issues with the Win 10 upgrade doing something incorrect to the low-level Windows driver. Reinstalling the Canon software fixes it.

 

That will also install the EOS Utility. If that connects, then BYE will --- as long as the EOS Utility is not already connected to the camera.

Please post to the original thread that your problem was fixed.  That way someone reading the thread will not conclude that there may be an issue with BYE, 64-bit Windows and the 60Da.
