I was a happy user of Windows until i landed into the unknown(interesting) areas of OS X.
Was struck to realize that a MacBook Air running Mountain Lion 10.8 cannot detect my Canon XSi!
The Canon EOS Utility software (2.12 in my case) from the Canon site only allows the user to update their existing EOS Utility installation.
In my case, the EOS Utility came in a CD and MacBook Air doesn't have a CD drive.
While Canon and Apple fight it blaming each other and causing pain to users, here is how to get it working.
After a lot of googling, and a lot of unhappy posts about this, discovered that the EOS Utility 'Updater' still can be installed for the first time without an existing installation on MAC.
You need to open the Package Contents, Resources and remove the file Info.datx
But once you do this, the EU2.12.0X_updater will not start saying that the package has been corrupted.
Goto System Preferences>Security and Privacy and Enable option to allow applications downloaded from 'Anywhere'.
That will get you started!

Unbelievable. You are a freakin' genius. I don't know how you figured this out but it seems we were the only two people in the world with this issue. Thank you for making this information public!
