Tethering to Lightroom from my Canon 1DX mark1

[KristynaHess]

I have tethered from my Canon 1Dx onto my laptop for years. Until last week it worked fine on set up and then it stopped.

Now the camera will show up, but the settings won't and the photos don't upload. My back up older Canon 5D mark2 tethers fine, my big baby Canon 1DX just doesn't.

I've updated Lightroom, updated firmware on camera. got new cable, checked the usb on notebook, got wobbly mini usb on camera fixed, still only reading the camera, not the setting, not uploading the images.

HEEEEEEEEEEELP!

Did you update Canon utilities perhaps? Make sure that attaching your camera does not automatically start EOS Utility in the background, because that prevents Lightroom from tethering.

Lightroom is actually reading the camera, but not showing setting and not uploading the images.

I am not seeing the Canon 1DX mark1 on the list of supported cameras for the latest version of Lightroom, see the link above

It's there, but it's a little further down the list for some reason. It's supported from Lightroom 4.2 already. Please also note this: For the 60D, 5D Mark III, and 1D X, a card must be in the camera for tethering to work properly.

wuaw, I haven't even though about that. Seriously? Can I donwgrade my lightroom? am I supposed to chuck my camera? There is nothing wrong with my camera, am I supposed to chuck in the bin? I cannot believe it!
