Image Capture not working with 10.6.6

I use a Canon MP780 printer/scanner with my Macs. I have no printing problems. However, when I upgraded to Snow Leopard the Canon MP Navigator scanning software stopped working and Canon's downloaded driver update didn't resolve the problem. Despite conversations with a helpful Canon engineer they seemed unable to offer a solution. However, I started using Image Capture as a satisfactory solution and this has worked fine until I upgraded to 10.6.6. Now this has stopped working too - I just get the message 'No camera or scanner selected'. I tried installing the recent Apple Canon download (Dec 14th 2010) but it hasn't resolved the problem. I see that the MP780 scan function does not seem to be supported by Apple on a list they publish on the site, however.
I can still scan by using the printer dialogue box but it is very long-winded and not very satisfactory. Is there any hope of me being able to use Image Capture again with my scanner?

The MP Navigator application requires the [Canon MP780 scanner driver|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0900205301.html] to be installed. The Canon driver update from Apple does not include this full scanner driver, only a mini driver that lets you use the scanner via Image Capture/Preview.

I see that the MP780 scan function does not seem to be supported by Apple on a list they publish on the site, however.
The mini driver mentioned above is known as an ICA driver. Canon provides this package to Apple for software download and also has it for various models on their web site. Checking the Canon Australia web site, the MP780 does not list the ICA driver. And checking the Canon IJSCanner1 package located in Library > Image Capture > Devices, which is where this information gets copied to, the MP780 is not in the devices list. So this confirms what Apple has listed on the web but makes no sense how you were able to scan on 10.6.5 or how you are still scanning now via the Print & Fax section, which uses the ICA driver. I would not think that the .6 update would remove the MP780 from the device plist. I need to check a previous build when I get back to the office.
But in the meantime if you can still use the MP780 in Print & Fax then this is the same as what you get in Image Capture. If you click the Show Details tab in the scanner preview window then this may be what you were used to with Image Capture.
And I believe that if you install the full scanner driver then you will be able to use [MP Navigator v2.0.8|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0900182001.html].

Image Capture not working with Canon LiDE 500F

Image Capture version 6.0.424 and CanoScan LiDE 500F 11.2.5.0 does not work properly.
Regardless the resolution, the resulted file has a very small size.
As a test I scanned a 9x20cm document at different resolutions and for all resulted files 'Get Info' reported small dimensions: 69x147 pixels. It is interesting that the size of the file varies with resolution, but when opened in Preview or Acrobat Reader, the small size is used.
As for other reports, CanoScan Toolbox works properly.

Hello Liviu,
There has been a couple of posts regarding the same issue with Image Capture. Have a look at this one for example.
http://discussions.apple.com/watches!add.jspa?forumID=1344&threadID=2272250
As I stated in this thread, I do not have this problem with Image Capture and my LiDE 200 or my MP980 AIO. So there must be something with the drivers used by these older model of Canon scanners when using Image Capture.
I haven't seen anyone provide a solution as yet so you may need to escalate this to Canon if you have a need to use Image Capture.

Image capture not work with ios5

Image capture/iphoto couldn't recognize my iphone4 after update it to ios5.

I WAS having the same problem. With the introduction of photo stream, Apple currently is not allowing you to use the photo stream option concurrently with the manual import option with Image Capture. You have to choose one. My situation was that I had old picture on my iphone which were not being streamed and I hate using iPhoto.
This is what you have to do to use Image Capture on Mac... again...
1. Disable photo stream on your iphone
2. Connect iphone to mac
3. Open image capture
4. Your iPhone will show up under devices and proceed normally
5. Voila!
Rationale: Like I said, since Apple does not give you the option to use both features (manual import via Image Capture or photo stream) you have to choose one, and by disabling photo stream on iphone, it lets you import images via Image Capture as you would normally.
You can use Keaggy's method, but I hate iPhoto. iPhoto does not let you choose your own directory which is annoying.
So those who want to go back to your regular ways, use the method above.

Image capture not working in lion

Well! After 10 years or so of OS X my Kodak DC 5000 no longer works in image capture after upgrading to OS X Lion. After connecting the camera and trying to import images, Image Capture says "no device connected".
Went to the loca shop and using the same camera and cable, successfully imported picts to the desktop under Snow lepard, so I know it's not the camera or cable. Been a mac user for decades! never had a problem with "plug and play" until this update!
Do I need to get a card reader now? New camera? Not happening as long as this one works(ed). Already lost Photoshop, but didn't mind as I bought Pixelmator. However, the Image Capture not working is a showstopper. Is this Apple's version of Vista? Help please!

Yes, I have iPhoto 9.1.5, I also used the prefs and this still is not working. The upgrade to OS X Lion broke my driver and I am not able to do transfer any pics from the camera.
I assume I will now need to buy a card reader.

HP AiO on iOS7 document capture not working with iPad2?

Has anyone else found that the Document Capture does not work with the latest version of HP AiO Remote on iOS7? The app grumbles about "The document capture feature is only available if the camera on your iPad is over 5 megapixels" - any solutions to this problem as we have about 95 iPads out in the business that need to use this function regularly

Hi VijayJois,
I understand that you are getting an error message when trying to use the capture feature in HP's AiO Remote app.
The capture feature in the most recent version of the app will give the error message that you are seeing. A work around to this is to take a photo instead of using capture. The photo is now available in the AiO app in your camera roll to send to the printer, or send via email.

Image preview not working with 3rd party photo apps in iPhoto/Image Capture

I haven't had a problem until recently with the iPhone 4. Pictures taken with third party photo apps such as Shake It Photo or Hipstamatic no longer generate a thumbnail preview in either iPhoto or Image Capture. It's just a generic jpg icon. All pictures taken with Apple's camera app appear just fine. I also had a problem where I couldn't import any of the photos, but I restarted the phone a couple times and that seemed to fix the importing issue, but not the thumbnail preview issue. This is particularly weird because i've been importing pictures since the first day this phone came out, and it's only been doing this since yesterday.
I know a lot of people are having problems getting their iPhoto to recognize the phone at all or that there are photos on the phone, but is anyone else having the same problem as me? Any solutions? I have iPhoto 8.1.2.
Thanks!

Updating the camera's clock with "Image Capture" not working

In Mac OS X 10.4 I used the application "Image Capture" to synchronise the camera’s clock with the clock of my Mac.
Since updating to Mac OS X 10.5 this feature isn’t working anymore. I still get the option in the options panel for the camera, but the time isn’t updated.
The camera is correctly set up, as it still works with my Mac OS X 10.4 iBook.
Is this a problem with my Mac or is this a bug in Mac OS X 10.5?
Is there a way to fix this problem?

What camera? I have had the same problem with a Nikon D70. Nikon Transfer has the same feature, and I can't get it to work on Leopard either.

Image Capture not working anymore

I use Image Capture to get photos off my Canon XSi. Lately, it hasn't been working. Image Capture shows 26 CR2 icons (without the camera even being plugged in), but won't show their thumbnail previews. It won't download them, and I can't delete them, either. It also won't recognize any new photos I've taken with the camera when it is plugged in. The only thing I've done recently that might have caused this is I installed a new scanner (Epson V300). I've tried deleting the Epson scanner driver, deleting Image Capture's preferences, and even deleting Image Capture and reinstalling it using Pacifist. The 26 ghost icons still haunt me. Furthermore, I still have device windows for the Epson scanner (two of them, for some reason) even though I uninstalled all the Epson stuff. Any other ideas?

MDT - Custom Reference Image does not work with Task Sequence, normal Windows 7 Enterprise Iso media works fine.

Hi,
Our MDT server is acting strange!
I have previously had this system running without problem - i could both capture and deploy computers as is and no changes have been made to mdt.
But my latest capture does not work. When i capture my reference maching in my VM environment it completes without errors and i can import the latest wim file.
When i deploy the tast sequence, it install the custom Wim image, but it ends up with "login" screen as the administrator i have entered for the capture/deploy sequence, but it goes to stop at this point and applications is not installed.
If i change the ISO in the task sequence under Install OS step, to a clean Win7 install media then the capture completes and install applications.
I have also tried to:

Image cache not working with Firefox and apex

Hi,
I'd like to cache all my images to save page rendering time and bandwidth because my images are all static and never change.
I use the John Scott's caching technique Link: [http://jes.blogs.shellprompt.net/2007/05/18/apex-delivering-pages-in-3-seconds-or-less/], in a few words this technique consists of adding a header line "Expires: date in the future" in the http response.
It works very well in IE, the images are cached and the same image can be accessed several times (within the same session or in different sessions) without issuing an http request to the server each time.
with Firefox it does not work, the same image is asked again and again to the server (i'm using FF 3.5 and APEX 3.2).
- Is it a date format problem? no, because when i type about:cache in FF, i can find my image in the cache with an expire date in the future.
The weird thing here is that the counter is incremented each time u request the image, so FF knows it is in the cache and even if the expire date is in the future, FF asks it again to the server.
- Is it a FF bug? If u read the http specs or if u google a little, u can come to the conclusion that FF does not follow the standards,
but... images.google.com for example manages to get its images cached with FF.
They use an http response header "cache-control: public, max-age=604800".
I tried the same and all kinds of combinations but without success.
When i compare my image with the one from google in the FF cache, they both have the same attributes.
- It's not an apex issue neither because it works with IE, most probably an incompatibility between apex and FF?
Maybe the use of cookie? or the http request (not the response) containing "cache-control: max-age=0"?
I've found so far 2 half solutions:
1) use ETag and modified date, see the Tyler Muth's note Link: [http://tylermuth.wordpress.com/2008/02/04/image-caching-in-plsql-applications/].
with this technique FF continues to send request each time but the answer is shorter because it's just a "304 not modified" instead of "200 OK" (200 response is bigger as it contains the image).
it's better than nothing but you still have 1 request + 1 response for nothing.
Another problem is that you need SYS access to implement this, which is not possible on an hosted server. (note that for images from the file system it is already foreseen by apex 3.1, Tyler's note is for images from the db)
2) if you preload the image (using myimage=new Image();myimage.src='...';), then there is max 1 request per browser session.
There are 2 minor issues here:
- no caching across sessions
- if u don't want to preload all the images (example a page with lots of thumbnails, when user clicks it show a bigger image, in that case the thumbnails can be preloaded but overkill for the big images), then you need to load the image, wait until the image has loaded before displaying it, it does not slow down the execution, but requires some extra JS.
I'm not asking anyone to investigate it, i can live with the 2 workarounds,
but just in case someone encountered the same problem and already fixed it.
Let me know if u managed to use the John Scott's technique with Firefox. (U can use Firebug to see the http traffic)
Thx
Tim

"Merge to HDR" & "Align Images" will not work with 5000+ pixels

Merge to hdr will work almost instantly for any size image as long as you dont use the "align Image" function. When used, it drastically slows down at about 4000 + pixel images then craps out completely at 5000 + pixels.
I dont get it, worked just fine in CS2, now it doesnt work in CS4?
merge to hdr is useless without the "align" function

Hi,
The Ps CS6 public beta version contains the same camera support as found in Ps CS5/5.5 compatible CR 6.6. There will be future updates to CR 7 for Ps CS6 to pick up more camera support. The Nikon D800 NEF files are not supported, yet.
If you like to work with your D800 files in the public beta build now, you'll have to get the DNG Converter 6.7 from here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw6-7/
and convert your files to DNG.

Image Capture stopped working with Lexmark Pro915.

I use an imac (Late 2006) 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63). I use Image Capture to scan from a Lexmark Pro915 to my computer. I recently updated Image Capture to latest version and ever since when I try to scan to my printer I get the following dialogue box:
Choosing your scan profile
Follow the instructions to finish the scan job:
1. Load the original document into the ADF or on the scanner glass.
2. From the printer home screen, touch Scan > Scan Profile.
3. Select "your computer name" to begin your scan.
To cancel the scan job, click Abort.
I contacted Lexmark customer support (from whom I downloaded the latest Image Capture Update), and they want to charge $119 to fix the issue, which they say is due to a missing file.
Can anyone help please?

Log and capture not working with Apple intermediate Codec

Hi,
I just got my copy of Final Cut Pro 6.
I'm trying to capture HDV footage using the apple intermediate codec, but when I try to open the log and capture window, it just comes up with a window saying 'HDV capture', but with no logging options at all. It just captures from that point onwards from the tape.
Tom

You need a video IO card to transcode the signal to another format on capture - you're just connecting the camera via Firewire, yes?
(Incidentally, even if you could get this work, AIC is almost certainly the 'wrong' codec for whatever you're doing. What's your worklow reason for choosing that format? And finally - are you really running OSX 10.3.9? You need to be on 10.4.9 to run FCS2)

Image capture not working after upgrading to lion. New MacBook pro 13".

Anybody else? Any suggestions?

I was brave and did what you said. (Thanks for being patient - I am an old lady).
I erased the external drive (called Time Machine Backups) in the diskutility.app.
Now - when I restarted Time Machine I am still told that there are no disks available to be backed up, and that this can happen if all disks are in the “Do not back up” list.
So maybe I really did mess up the list of items to be excluded from backups?
How do I restore the list now to what it should be?

Epson scanner not work with Mountain Lion?

I have an Epson Expressio 1600Pro scanner with transparency adaptor. It has worked perfectly with previous Macs using OSX 10.4. I have recently bought a MacBook pro and upgraded it to OSX 10.8. I went to Epson's website to get a new driver etc. That tells you it can only be downloaded via Mac Software Update. That was duly done and installed. System prefs lists it under printer and scanners. OK
I have also installed Photoshop Elements 11 and expected to be able to scan direct to there but nothing seems possible. Going to Help says use Image capture or Preview. Yes! there is a small very rudimentary scanning window appears in both apps. Now the problem! Nothing happens. I have tried ALL the various meagre settings on offer, changing size, resolution, custom etc and all that happens is a small rectangle of a scan occurs but no resulting file.
I have been on to Epson who say ONLY image capture will work with 10.8 but as it is a 3rd party software they can offer no assistance. Well image capture does NOT work. I have spent all afternoon trying various things like restarting, unplugging, reconnecting etc etc nothing.
10.8 does seem very buggy. I have even had to stop using Mail and Safari simply because it doesn't work whereas Thunderbird and Firefox work very well.
But I digress, does anyone have any thoughts please?

The following comments are based on installing an Epson RX700 All-in-one printer/copier/scanner so they may not be applicable to you but, for what it's worth here they are. The RX700 scanner worked perfectly with Snow Leopard and then Lion but, when I changed to Mountain Lion, and used the app store to download and install the drivers, I lost the Epson scanner utility (ie. the user interface that gives you all the scanner options).
However, if I used System Preferences and then the Print and Scan option, it brought up a small window where I could select either Print or Scan. Selecting Scan or Open Scanner from this window then opens up a window with all the scanner options in it, including an overview scan. This window has the option to either Hide Details (all the detailed scanner options - resolution, size, output file name etc) or Show them. As far as I can see, this window is actually the Image Capture app, although it doesn't say so.
It might be a long shot but try changing the Auto Selection box in this window to one of the other options (eg. "Detect Separate Items") or setting the "Scan to" to a file.
