Hello, i´ve been using your experience the last months (thank you) and i´ve learned very useful tips to work with ML...
I´ve got a 5Dmiii bought a year ago or so... last week i saw the 1.3.3 update in Canon and i still don´t know why, i did it... i´ve made the upgrade without even checking the ML  availability in the first place... yeah, i know...
Of course, no more ML... desperately i started reading the (every) posts about this in order to know if a downgrade is possible... with no results, some vague information, but with broken links, errors, etc...
I started thinking that the problem should be the EOS utility version, since i´ve got the newest on my laptop...
Where is my original Canon CD´s?? A couple of hours later i found the disk... CD version 27.2, EOS utility 2.12...
I´ve installed it on my wife computer since is Canon software free :), turn the wifi antenna off (just in case this thing came alive and upgrade automatically)... and then i perform the downgrade... and here´s the trick...

In the camera screen, i saw, it was just a blink, a legend that says hit the set button for blablablabla, the first time i didn´t realize that, so i just leave the camera alone working (for nothing, several minutes, red light blinking), since downgrade didn´t work at all... (battery out, reset and 1.3.3 is still there) in the new round, minutes later, i hit the set button as quick as i can (about two seconds window opportunity) and this time the downgrade starts... after the usual time the result is GREAT... I´m back on 1.2.3 again and happy to install ML again...

I don´t know if the version, or the lack of internet or the set button hitting competition help me on this... but this combination works great for me... I honestly don´t know how can i make a copy of the cd  for you guys... but i´m completely sure about the versions, since i´ve tried later the same (got time to play uh?), and didn´t work with the last version of EOS utility... so i did exactly as i write, to come back, once more, to 1.2.3 version again... just to be sure...

I hope this works for you, the ones who wants a new 5dmiii but since many come with 1.3.3 version are hesitating...

Excuse my english (i´m from Argentina), it´s late and i´m tired, but i register for the first time just to give back something good in exchange for so many useful information i´ve read here...

Thank you again, best regards.

I´ll configure the profile tomorrow... gone to sleep.
