Mac Mavericks / VM Fusion / W 8.1 / BYE 3.1.2

[fitzmier]

Have tried everything I can think of, consulted help files, and so forth.  No matter how I try, BYE will not recognize my T1i.  No USB hub, updated drivers and so forth.  Any ideas?

 

THanks

From the title, it appears that you are attempting to run this Windows App within a Virtual Machine on an OSX Machine.

 

You'll need to be very concerned about the Device Drivers being loaded and the USB Port being assigned to the Virtual Machine.  Beyond that, you are probably on your own...

 

Several users have reported to this Forum and Others, that they had some success with BYE in BootCamp (yes, acknowledged that alternative doesn't allow Native App Multitasking, but...)

 

OR...

The Smart-alec answer:  Buy yourself a decent Win7 or Win8.1 Laptop and com back from The Dark Side...

Does the Mac O/S recognize the camera?

Does the Windows Device Manager show the camera in its devices list? On my Win7 system it shows up under Portable Devices when it is connected and powered on.

 

If Windows does not see the camera, then BYE will not be able to connect.

Thanks, Rick.  Yes, OS sees the camera.  So does VM fusion in the USB connections.  But I can find it nowhere in Win 8.1

Problem solved.  The version of VMWare Fusion I was using did not fully support Win 8.1.  Upgraded VM and I am back in business.  Thanks to all -- and yes, I LIKE the Dark Side.  That's why in this hobby, after all.
