Image capture won't scan some of "detect separate image"

When put multiple photos on my scanner using "detect separate images, Image Capture recognizes each separate photo, but when it scans, some of the images come out black, and i have to rescan them.
Any ideas?

Thanks PAHU that were a lot of drivers for sure in your link and I installed those. Unfortunately, nor the driver package nor the ICA driver did solve my problem. I'm beginning to think it might just be a bug within Image Capture, although Image Capture is stating the scanner is reporting an error. Strange thing is that Image Capture will work fine as long as I hide the details pane.
It seems to be an isolated problem too as I can't find any other subject on this on the net. I see more people having trouble to scan images with Image Capture but that's mostly related to not selecting the right part of the preview. I will see if I can reinstall Image Capture from the OSX dvd.

  • Image Capture won't scan to Photoshop

    I just downloaded Lion (10.7.2) and everything works fine, except ...
    When scanning through Image Capture, it won't open the scanned images in Photoshop (CS4) when set to do so. It will open in any other program I try (Preview, Illustrator, etc ...) but not Photoshop.
    When I scan an image with PS set as the "scan to" app, Photoshop will open, but it doesn't open the image.  Instead, Image Capture opens a "scan results" dialog box with the name of the image and a magnifying glass icon that shows me that the image has been saved in my "pictures" folder.  I'm clearly choosing the PS app, and not the PS folder in Image Capture, but for some reason it doesn't know what to do with the image when it gets there. Again, the PS app OPENS, but the image doesn't. It just dumps it in the "pictures" folder.
    By all accounts, Photoshop seems to be working properly. I can click on a scanned image and open it with Photoshop manually. Scanned images just won't open in PS automatically through Image Capture like they used to before I upgraded to Lion.
    I tried rebooting and repairing permissions just for the heck of it, but those did nothing.  Image Capture has no problem recognizing my scanner (Brother MFC 6490CW) and I made sure to download the latest driver for it. 
    I'm really at a loss as to why this is occuring.  If anyone has a theory, I'd love to hear it.  Scanning stuff into Photoshop is my job basically, so this is driving me crazy.

    I can duplicate that behaviour, best file it as a Bug with Apple if you have a Developer ID ?
    http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/
    I will file it also and see what response I get.
    BR filed: I note that in testing this if I set the Import To selector to Preview, Mail and iPhoto it behaves as expected so it's possible this is an Adobe issue not an Apple one. Might be worth looking in their support forums to see if anyone elase has this and has found a work-around.

  • Image Capture won't scan: Canon MP 610

    Hello,
    I experience a strange bug in Image Capture which I use together with my Canon MP610. When I put a document on the scanner Image Capture will show a preview and then scan the document. This works fine.
    Sometimes I need to make some manual corrections by using the button "show details" and then resize the scan area after the program has analyzed the picture. After I made the corrections I hit the "Scan" button but Image Capture will return with the message "Scanner has reported an error" and "An error occurred during scanning".
    I first thought it might be a driver related problem as I recently updated the drivers from the Canon site. Before I installed the Canon drivers and used the OSX drivers all worked fine.
    So I removed all drivers from Canon and hoped the Mac would use the old drivers again. That didn't work either as the system couldn't seem to find any usable driver anymore. I reinstalled the Canon drivers and all works well again except for the Image Capture program.
    As long as I don't use the "Show Details" button the scanner works just fine. But as soon as I make some manual corrections the scanner error message pops up and the scanner won't scan the adjusted preview.
    So I know for sure the Mac sees the scanner and can control it as the scanner does deliver the images to the folder I specify, but I can't do any manual corrections.
    I already deleted the file "com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist" but that didn't solve the problem. It appears to be a bug in the program itself or a conflict between the app and the drivers from Canon. How can I revert back to the drivers that my Mac used before I installed the Canon drivers?
    Thanks!

  • My Image Capture won't scan

    Image Capture and software called Paperless were working well until last week when they both stopped scanning. The overview does, but the actual scanning button is grey on both programs. The manufacturer of Paperless says the problem is wth Image Scan. I am using a non-Twain scanner. Anyone know how to fix it?

    Sounds like you may not be selecting the area of the overviewed image that you want to scan. This will stop the scan button from being available. With the image previewed, move the mouse to one corner and then drag to the opposite corner to select the section of image you want. Now the Scan button will be available.
    Or if you only ever want to scan the entire page, uncheck the "Use Custom Size". This will make the Scan button available without having to select a portion of the overviewed image.

  • Image Capture won't recognize camera under other user log in

    Image Capture won't recognize cameras under another other users log in on the same computer even though it works perfectly under the main user log in. Can some body hep me pleeze? What am I doing wrong or how can I let my daughter use her digital camera under her log in?

    Hi G-Man,
    It's probably something in the Preferences folder; Users/herusername/Library/Preferences. Start by removing com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist and trying again. If that doesn't do it drag the entire Preference folder to the desktop, log out and back in. Launch it again and if it works you can either reset preferences for all System Preferences and apps or drag the preferences files a group at a time back to the new Preference folder in Library and test Image Capture each time. That way you can narrow it down to the one offending preference file.

  • Image capture no longer scanning in 600dpi :(

    Hi there,
    I've been trying to scan some images on my Epson XP-400 (which I usually have no issue with) but today the scanned image file is just all black. The overview scan picks up the image perfectly! But for some reason it's saving as a just a black box.
    Is there anyone that can help me with this? It's driving me insane!!
    I'll add that I did manage to scan in 400 and 720dpi. So I cannot figure out why the 600 would not be working when it was fine a couple of days ago!
    ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
    Thank you

    Since downloading Apple OS X 10.4 updates on Aug 4th I am unable to use the compact flash card reader in my HP PSC 2175 AiO printer. After this download I can no longer use the flash card slot on the printer but I can print and scan.
    Here are the updates that I ran on Aug 4th:
    2008-08-04 21:38:56 -0400: Installed "iPhoto Update" (7.1.4)
    2008-08-04 21:39:01 -0400: Installed "iLife Support" (8.3)
    2008-08-04 21:39:03 -0400: Installed "AirPort Extreme Update 2008-002" (1.0)
    2008-08-04 21:39:11 -0400: Installed "iWeb Update" (2.0.4)
    2008-08-04 21:39:20 -0400: Installed "iMovie Update" (7.1.4)
    2008-08-04 21:39:44 -0400: Installed "iTunes" (7.7.1)
    2008-08-04 21:41:15 -0400: Installed "Security Update 2008-005 (Intel)" (1.0)
    Image Capture says there is no device connected. Image Capture v 3.0.3 (333) modified Aug 4, 2008 21:40.
    I used the import capability to bring pictures from my flash card into iPhoto on Sunday August 3rd. It worked flawlessly as it has done since I purchased the printer with built-in card reader. But now I'm SOL.
    Filed a bug report but by the looks of this thread upgrading to 10.5 will not fix the problem either.

  • Image Capture: can it detect separate images for film / transparency?

    is there anyway to detect separate images while scanning film? this check box dissappears when selecting the dropdown SCAN MODE into anything but FLATBED.
    would be very useful when scanning film strips. thanks,

    I noticed after upgrading to Snow Leopard that images imported with Image Capture have "No Access" for Everyone.  I used Image Capture a lot under Leopard and Everyone had "Read Only" or "Read & Write" permissions.  Before and after the upgrade, I stored the images folders I created (with Image Capture) in a Shared/Pictures folder.
    I couldn't find any answers on why the permissions are set this way by Image Capture with Snow Leopard.  I found this article http://www.ehow.com/how_2314896_fix-permissions-mac-os-x.html which at least helped me change the permissions of all images in a given folder.
    Seems one should not have to change the permissions after importing images....

  • Scanning in Mavericks? I can no longer use the scanning function in my HP Officejet 4500. HP says to go through Preview, Image Capture, or Print/Scan in System Prefs. Still doesn't work. Any ideas/similar experiences?

    Scanning in Mavericks? I can no longer use the scanning function in my HP Officejet 4500.
    HP says to go through Preview, Image Capture, or Print/Scan in System Prefs.
    Still doesn't work. Any ideas/similar experiences?

    Sure it is, yet it's called HP LaserJet Professional M1210nf MFP Series *
    Today, I followed your other advice, and deleted the printer, deleted the /Library/Printer/hp folder, downloaded the entire set of driver, re-installed the printer twice, once with the driver, once with Bonjour.
    The Bonjour Printer has the scan option active, but it is doesn't work (refer to above.), it is called M1217nfw
    The Apple Driver Printer doesn't show the scan option at all, it is called M1217nf (as on the http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP list.) This model number doesn't exist, as far as I can tell. 
    Still, everything works perfectly in Snow Leopard, for a MF printer that has been manufactured years after Snow Leopard was released.
    Why going up in software version means going backwards in compatiblity for brand new product is really the question that puzzles me here.

  • Image capture won't recognize my ScanSnap iX500.  How do I make them work together?

    Image capture won't recognize my ScanSnap iX500.  How do I make them work together?

    To use Image Capture you need an ICA driver for your scanner. Checking the Fujitsu web site for drivers for the iX500 I only see a ScanSnap manager for OS X. No mention of an ICA driver. So you may need to contact your local Fujitsu support.

  • Image capture, can't scan

    I have an epson 2480 scanner that worked with image capture in tiger. After upgrading to Leopard, it seems that I can no longer scan. Image Capture speaks to the scanner (the scanner will scan a preview when I launch image capture), but the scan button is greyed out.
    This ***** because I would use image capture to share the scanner with other users in my group. Now, the only way to scan is to sit at the computer that is hooked up to the scanner and scan there using the epson scan software.
    If anyone has any ideas as to how to re-enable image capture scanning, I would love to hear it.
    On another note, image capture does not work on any local account on the machine, whether admin or standard.
    Thanks for any advice...

    As far as sharing the scanner using image capture, browse to the scanner (devices > browse devices), then click on the sharing button on the bottom left of the window...You can share the device from there, and add a password if necessary...
    Cool when it works!
    However, you cannot have more than 1 computer at a time using the scanner, so if another person has image capture open (but isn't using the scanner), you need to make them quit....
    Still, this works pretty well (well, at least it did work pretty well
    BTW-I thought I had installed the latest driver, but I will try again and see.....

  • Image capture won't connect to Brother  Twain scanning

    Hello
    Hope someone can help me. I have just connected a Brother MFC-7860DW all in one printer scanner to my Mac wirelessly. Everything works perfectly except the scanning. Image capture will show the Brother in the device browser window, I click on Twain uni but can see no Connect click button. Just opening Image Capture "no device connected" If I go in to Print and Scan box there is no "scan" button at the top right corner as decribed in the manual.  I have downloded Twain in case my software was not up to date. Nothing happens from the printer buttons end. Seems the Mac can talk to the printer but not Twain Scanner. It seems tantalisingly close. Is there a magic completion?

    You installed the Brother image driver package, which includes the Brother ControlCenter software to manage scanning? It's this: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us_ot/en/dlf/dlf/000000/00450 0/dlf004555.html?reg=us&c=us_ot&lang=en&prod=mfc7860dw_all&type2=1&os=81&flang=4 &dlid=dlf004555

  • Mountain Lion Image Capture won't recognize my Canon MP600 Scanner

    I'm not sure when it happened as I don't use my scanner all that much but at some point in the last month or so Image Capture can'is no longer able to see my scanner. It's a multi function Canon MP600 printer/scanner. I can still print but no go on scanning. I checked out the Canon site for drivers/updates but there are none. System Report sees the MP600 and like I said, I can print just not scan. I'm running 10.8.2.
    Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated.

    This might have been my fix, too. I did as this instructed; however, after installing v.2.11 from Apple's site and deleting the printer, then adding it back again (I also unplugged and replugged the printer), nothing changed.
    I then did as "noseyp" below suggested and at the Canon site added the scanner driver for Mac OS 10.7. That process (after I bypassed my security roadblock), required a computer restart.
    So was is it v.2.11 installation (plus the restart) that made the difference? Or was it the 10.7 scanner driver? I won't know.
    I'd suggest to anyone to do as "legendarybc" suggested, but then do restart your computer. If that doesn't work, then add the 10.7 scanner driver from:

  • Image Capture won't straighten crooked APS 25mm Prints.

    I'd like to scan in my old prints with Image Capture, but the
    edge-detect and straightening only happens when the image is a
    standard 35mm print (it works fine then).
    Remember the old APS 25mm film format? I've got a
    ton of prints from that format (which are wider than 35mm prints), but Image Capture refuses to detect
    the edge of these to correct any crookedness.
    Any idea how I can get it to automatically recognize the edges and
    straighten the capture window accordingly??

    I could always draw a box around each photo (using the Overview Scan) and then scan it, but I'm looking to use the feature of Image Capture to do that for me automatically (to speed up the process).
    Did you think that the edges of the actual prints weren't straight? That's not the case. I'd just like the ability to throw a few pics on the scanner, press a button and let Image Capture straighten out any pictures that weren't perfectly square with the sides of the scanner bed (I've got too many photo prints to scan to do otherwise). Image Capture can do that with 35mm prints, apparently, but it can't seem to handle the odd (rectangular) size of the old APS prints. I've tried it with an APS print and a 35mm print at the same time, and it located and straightened the 35mm print but not the APS size.

  • Image Capture won't recognise scanner

    Until recently (10.6.5?) I have used Image Capture very successfully to scan with a Canon MP610 multifunction printer, preferring its no nonsense simplicity to the Canon software (MP Navigator EX).  But opening Image Capture to initiate a scan now results in an interminable delay before the printer shows up in the Devices pane on the left of the window while the message "No camera or scanner connected" is displayed in the centre pane. The delay is usually several minutes, sometimes longer and then I give up and go back to MP Navigator.
    I have tried remedies suggested in other forums (deleting and re-adding the printer, resetting the printing system, changing the USB port and prayer) but to no avail. My research suggests that this issue also occurs with other brands of printer.   I thought that the 10.6.7 update might have sorted it but it didn't.  Does anyone have any other suggestions so that I can resume digitising 30 years worth of photos?

    I would look for apps that would use the USB port, such as other imaging applications for cameras. If you check Activity Monitor you can also see what background services are running - could be something here that sticks out, especially if it is from another printer/camera vendor or even another Canon application for that matter.
    Checked the USB port situation - only the printer is using one.  To my relatively untutored eye, nothing sticks out from Activity Monitor.  I plug in a Canon camera quite often but it's not connected right now.
    Another thing you can try is creating another account and then logging in with this account. If this other account works okay then you can look at some service starting just for your main account. This could be found in Accounts > Login Items or Home folder > Library > LaunchAgents.
    Created a Test account and logged into it (goodness me, how my normal admin account has changed!) but the problem still remains.  The LaunchAgents folder contained a file named com.macupdate.desktop5.scanner.plist and I immediately thought this is it but, no, trashing it made no difference.   Login items are
    iTunesHelper
    Butler
    AppTrap
    YouControlTunesEngine
    MagiCal
    iphoto buddy menu
    Rainlendar2-Lite

    SurplusMeterAgent
    FontExplorerXAutoload
    CornerClickBG
    finderpop-daemon

    which will give you some idea of how my mind works but probably little else.  Many thanks for your suggestions...

  • Image Capture won't allow us to save...

    When we go to Applications > Image Capture it automatically turns on our scanner and scans in the image or document, HOWEVER, the scan button in the program is always grayed out, so we can't save the image/document anywhere. What are we doing wrong?
    We tried to find some documentation on the 'Image Capture' program but we couldn't find any, not even from Apple Can anyone help us sort this issue out?

    It's waiting for you to tell it what it should scan. Sounds silly but it's true.
    Click and drag in the Preview window do drag out a box for it to scan inside of and the Scan button will un-grey.
