I had no problems installing it on two Macs running OS 10.6.5

What I discovered was that I had to remove the .gz from the uncompressed file. Then all worked fine.

Hi

This might be completely wrong but is this the software you are looking for? Found it today when I looked for manuals for the XF100/XF300 camcorder.

XF Utilities for WIN

Also a MAC version

Bo, that's just the User Manual PDF. Canon posts software updates (that require the original software to be already installed on the system) and documents such as the user manual and brochures, but typically does not make the original software available for download on their website. Same on the US site for every Canon camera that I have owned.

IMO, Canon ought to, at the very least, create a quick, simple, no-charge service for registered owners to download a copy of the original software that is part of the professional camera package they have purchased. For example, the online Canon Store already has the infrastructure to handle this.
