Eye-fi X2 Utility Mac Download

In August 2016, in response to complaints, Eye-Fi announced the "one-time release" of a new, Mac-only software utility "to allow more time for customers seeking an alternative WiFi SD card solution." No updates or support were offered.[5]

I think the browse feature of the transend card is a great advantage relative to the eye-fi card which lacks such a feature.

Assume I have been shooting the whole day and I want to view some images on a bigger, brighter srceen or want to upload them or send them by email. With the eye-fi this is just impossible as I have to wait for all of my files to be transferred to my device. I'm shooting raw, so this is just not an option. I would have to wait for hours and I would probably run out of space and or battery on my phone or tablet. With the eye-fi one does have to option of selective upload, but that means that I have to go through the painstaking process of browsing all my photos on the camera and flagging the ones that I want to upload on my device.

Auto-upload could be interesting, but why would i want to upload every one of my photos on my tablet or smartphone?Moreover,the wifi upload speed is just not fast enough to keep up with the shooting speed of say a typical portrait shoot.

I bought the eye-fi only a week ago and for me it's plain useless. When I'm next to my computer, I just plug the card into the card reader, I don't waste time waiting for my files to transfer through slow and unreliable wifi.

I've tried the EyeFi X2 pro Class 6 on at Nikon D7000.

I set up the Nikon to save *lowest* quality JPGs on the eye-fi slot.

I dunno about the class 10 but it takes 20-30 seconds to transfer the JPGs to my mac.

Also, how exactly can this technology be combined with Nikon tools, if it even can be? Do you use control pro software to get files or do those eye-fi or similar cards come with its own software for file transfer? How fast are they? Are they fast enough for transfer of raw files? What are best ones?

b) there is no known network, then the card deploys its own network, and you connect your PC/mac/tablet to it (which may require a non-automatic action your side), and you have some Eye-Fi utility running on the PC/mac/tablet (on PC and mac the utility once installed is transparent, on tablets you need to actually run an app).

good information. The concern I have with eye-fi is that its pro X2 model is listed as class 10, but that means only that its maximum read/write rates are guaranteed to be at least 10MB/sec. This may be a real problem with a high resolution camera like a D7100, where RAW files can reach 30MB and a 95MB/sec card is required for maximum effective buffer depth in burst mode. For bursts of a a few shots, this isn't much of a problem, but a base-level class 10 card was sometimes a problem with the D90 era cameras. The other problem with these sorts of cards is that they don't have a large storage capacity. 8GB yields something like 150-200 RAW shots, which is easy to blow through during a day's travel away from your tablet. If you're shooting mostly JPG, these issues largely go away; but be forewarned that unless you've got gobs of memory on your tablet, you'll be sitting at that coffee shop hotspot for a BIG cuppa waiting for the cloud transfer to complete. As Herve notes, this isn't a tethering or a heavy user's daily backup panacea.

Thanks Terry. What are the advantages to the eye-fi cards? The price difference is pretty huge for something that (to me) seems to do the same. Did I miss something?

I dont think it can possibly be true that the eye-fi sdhc 8gb needs a current all the time when the camera is switched on, and actually I certainly did not notice any battery drain from using it -with a d90 - I was quite surprised. It seemed to me that the eye-fi card only needed current when it understood there were photos to transfer or when it would be searching for a signal for gps coordinates.

I felt it didnt search for a signal unless the shutter was half pressed. Even out and about, there was absolutely no noticeable extra battery drain and even more surprising when I might be in an area where a gps lock-on would be very difficult - which you might think would use more power? (similar to a phone when a signal is weak?).

Yes, it can be VERY slow (depending on the cards proximity to a router), but that often does'nt bother me.

I just put my camera next to the router and it will upload all the pictures. No fuss. If I needed the photos quickly then eye-fi wouldnt be practical, but Im not a professional photographer on urgent assignments.

Another reason why the eye-fi card is useful and why I like to use it is for its gps function. its not always perfect but it save me having to remember where on earth I took that picture exactly

Hi cjb22 :-)

All SD cards have a standby mode and stay on normally with a reduced current flow when an appliance is switched on .

As for the eye-fi card in particular I've not used one but how does it transfer files unless it is switched on ?

On the other hand CF cards are switched on as and when needed so if the card slot powers down when not in use how will the eye-fi transfer files ?

I did say these were doubts because as as far as I know the two types of card slots behave differently .

if the camera is on and files have not been transferred to the device to which you have chosen the files to be transferred to and that device is on, the eye-fi card will be in operation.

When all files have been transferred, the eye-fi card will I guess go into stand-by mode and the camera (d90) will turn itself off.

Lord Nikon 12:

if the functionality of an eye-fi card was only to be able to transfer files wirelessly to my computer then I would not have purchased one, although one more thing that does'nt require a wired connection is always useful.

With an eye-fi card I can choose to upload directly to a website / cloud (jpegs only I think) or to different devices - i.e. phone, which could be useful in any number of ways.

In addition the card gives GPS functionality.

I couldn't get the Eye-fi app to work on my iPad (I have an older one, but it's probably just the operator). I then tried my laptop and finally got it to load on my laptop, but then it took FOR-EV-ER and kept locking up. I was about to give up, but being the stubborn gal that I am, decided to try on my phone. The eye-fi app loaded perfectly and I was able to take the photo with my camera, see it almost immediately on my phone, and then push it to the Selphy printer (all wirelessly).

What you are looking for is called tethered shooting. With a laptop or a USB OTG enabled Android device, you need nothing more than a USB cable and some (free) software. E.g. Canon's EOS utility, or Lightroom, on the computer.
