Add a device to image capture

My Image capture has no device listed, neither the laptop. How do I add the laptop as a device?

A camera or SD card plugged in is a device.

How do you add a device to Image Capture?

Does anyone know how to add a device to IMAGE CAPTURE?

You don't need to add a device just connect your camera and it will find it, if the camera is comparable.

TS1501 I am not able to enable my apple devices with Image Capture

I am trying to enable my iphone, ipad, and ipod to connect with iphoto and it won't connect. I have turned this feature off in the past, but can't figure out how to turn it back on again.

Im also experiencing this issue.
I have at some point disabled my phone from being recognized in osX presumably by choosing "no application" when it is connected from the options in the device list (whether it was in iPhoto or Aperture or Preview who knows i dont recal).
Now the problem is is that despite having turned on all the "iPhoto>Preferences>General>When connecting a Camera opens...(iPhoto etc)" the phone it self isnt bringing up any notification or even showing up in the device list.
Without it showing up there how am i supposed to re-enable any application from launching when i connect my phone?
iTunes has no problem seeing my iPhone 4 (iOS 6.01) however the Finder/iPhoto/Apperture/Preview et al all cannot see it despite having them set to launch when a "camera" is connected.
HELP!

Image Capture app: wont recog iPhone 3Gs

my iPhone 3gs has been working fine with Snow Leopard's Image Capture app
today when I connected it - SL wont recognize the iPhone at all
tried:
restarting Macbook Pro
restarting iPhone
all I get is from Image Capture is "no camera or scanner connected".
When I launch ITunes I can sync the phone normally.
What gives ?

Recently had the exact same problem. All of a sudden neither my MacBook nor my PC would recognize the iPhone as a camera device. Image Capture wouldn't work for me either. I used iDrive Lite to back up some photos online from my phone, and then followed the directions posted in this forum.
I deleted all the photos from my Camera Roll. Rebooted iPhone.
After rebooting, I took a picture, hooked my iPhone up to the Mac, and iPhoto opened up again.
I tried it on the PC, and the PC also now recognizes the iPhone as well.
I had screenshots and saved photos from emails, as well as shots taken with the iPhone itself, and I didn't progressively delete them, so I cannot attest as to which photos were the culprit. I just mass deleted them all.
They should fix this problem ... it's a pain. But iDrive Lite is free and you can at least back up your pics.

Image Capture can't save to Network Server

I have a Canon MX860 connected via wireless to my network. I'm running 10.6.6 on the mac. When I scan an image, Image Capture only allows to save to the local hard drive. It shows my Network Server (in the Scan To | Other ... dialog box), but it's grayed out, so I can't select it to save to. Is there a way to save to a network drive?

I am having this same problem when I try to upload photos from my camera. To add to the mystery, Image Capture will allow me to import from a camera and save to my NAS using my MacBook Pro, but not with my iMac - even though both are running the latest OS X. Has anyone figured out why this happens? I spent an hour on the phone with Apple tech support and they couldn't figure it out.

Image Capture Stopped Working on MacPro

Attempted to scan material with my Epson Perfection 2450 PHOTO with Image Capture on my MacPro and received error message that "No camera or scanner connected." I have used this scanner with Image Capture routinely in the past with no problem.
When I switched to "EPSON Scan as an option, it worked without changing anything. Also, I physically moved my scanner to my MacBook Pro, and it worked perfectly with Image Capture.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It all started with: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL900
The solution:
Delete - /Library/Image Capture/Devices/EPSON Scanner.app
Steps - quit image capture, unplug scanner, delete app, plug scanner in again
Reinstall old version of Epson scanner.app.
If you dont have the old version available, download from
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3429397/EPSON%20Scanner.app.zip
unzip, drag to /Library/Image Capture/Devices/
Restart Image capture.
And Voila, you can scan full page again...
Worked for me...

Image Capture, twain sane interface, and Snow Leopard compatibility?

I have downloaded and installed Mattius Ellert's twain sane interface in order to be able to use an old scanner. In order to use it with Image Capture, Ellert's FAQ page describes a procedure for selecting the twain sane interface GUI over the native GUI. However this procedure fails in Snow Leopard; I seem to have no choice but to run the native GUI, with extremely limited functionality. The twain sane interface GUI is still there and still works; it is what comes up if I scan from Microsoft Word or Graphic Convertor. But I would like it to work with Image Capture and related Apple software (preview and the print/fax control panel). Does anyone know of a procedure to do so?
Also does anyone know where this GUI actually lives on the computer? I examined the installed file locations specified in twain-sane interface's bom file, and just found a bunch of .strings and plist files in Image Capture/TWAIN Data Source/Sane.ds/Contents/Resources, plus one file under ....Sne.ds/Contents/MacOS called SANE.

Ronald,
The reason you are not seeing this device in Image Capture after installing the TWAIN/SANE stuff is because Apple removed the TWAIN interfaces from Image Capture in Snow Leopard. TWAIN is being deprecated on the Mac. What someone needs to do is develop an ICA/SANE bridge and then Image Capture would work again.
Just trying to help.

Image Capture doesn't recognize my Canon device camera (it has before). I made a copy of the Image Capture app by mistake. What do I do?

My Macbook doesn't have iPhoto installed. ?? I don't know why, because it used to be installed.
I have been able to download photos from my camera using Image Capture, but now Image Capture doesn't show my camera in the Devices window. It did yesterday.
Ideally, I would like to install iPhoto again, but how do I do it without having to purchase the app again?
This might also be relevant:
I wanted to add an Image Capture icon to my dock, but I inadvertently made a copy of the app (called Image Capture copy). When I tried to erase the copy, I couldn't. Image Capture copy is in my Trash and the Image Capture app is in my Applications folder. I tried opening the app from both the Trash version and the app version, but it doesn't help.
Please help!

Use the disks that came with your Mac to do a custom install of the software you need, i.e. iPhoto. The disk should look like #4 in this screenshot:

Image Capture does not have a 'Devices' option

I have a new scanner and I installed the drivers. It's showing fine in Photoshop CS3 but the window for it is awkward and small and barely has any features to it (there is no selection to for Advanced either). I figured I should try to use Image Capture instead, hoping to have better luck and more features. However Image Capture is not allowing me to go to 'Devices > Browse Devices' because there is no 'Devices' menu listed at all. I've restarted, unplugged things, plugged devices back in. It just says 'No Camera or Scanner Selected' ... the Command B is not even working either.
Has anyone ever had this happen, should I try reinstalling Image Capture?

As for the scanner - so is this new one wireless? When I hooked up my Epson All-in-One, I had to install it via USB first before I could install the wireless (per their instructions). With Snow Leopard, I simply installed the driver and it covered and recognized both the print and scan function - not so in Lion; I had to go through hoops with the scanner part and it finally showed up as a separate unit. I thought that is silly, but - as long as it works..... I'm trying to think of possibilities since I'm about out of ideas, so you might want to consider that (if it applies). The other troubleshooting suggestions usually include redoing the "add" function after a reboot.
As for Image Capture, I am out of ideas. FWIW, I never use it - in my workflow, there is no need for it. Not sure if this would have an impact, but make sure that you choose Image Capture in the CDs&DVDs Preference Pane (mine is set to ignore or ask purposely):
If that does not work, I'd suggest reinstalling the OS over the top of what you have.

Image capture from avi vfw device can't find video modes

Hello
Here my issu, i have implemented image capture from a video device using jmf 2.1.1e performancepack, using a webcam everything is fine but when i use the video capture source i want to use i can only work with format 720x480 pal and i require 720x576 pal.
jmf seem not to reconize video format from this source, but the video is correcty displayed and image correctly captured. I'm surprised it is half working:decoding&render is ok to but not format choice.
I have check it is not because i'm in ntsc mode (ntsc is 720x480) because my analogic source is pal and color are correct (if with device software i change to ntsc mode i have a black&with but using jmf i'm in color so i'm in pal mode)
Difference bettween the webcam and my device is that my device is an avi encoder so in jmf webcam is javax.media.format.YUVFormat and my device com.sun.media.format.AviVideoFormat
i have tried many thing:
install codec pack (divx6, another codec pack)
try to use Fobs4JMF
register in JMStudio IBMdecoder, jffmpeg
Tanks for any help
the device support many configuration UYVY 235x288 352x576 .... 720x576 but JMF offer only 1 video mode for this device.
here in jmf my capture device info:

No devices listed in image capture (os10.7, ic 6.1-440)

I am very happy with a new MacBook Air. My loving and dear husband is configuring the network, printer, etc. on the machine. He is having problems with the networked scanner. The OS is Lion 10.7, the Image Capture version is 6.1-440, and the scanner device is a Xerox 6505 WorkCentre. No devices are listed and this version is different enough that he does see how to add a new device. How do you add a networked twain scanner? He had the unit working with my older MacBook Pro running snow leopard, so he is pretty good with my Mac's. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

For Image Capture to 'see' a networked scanner an ICA driver would need to be installed on the Mac. I suggest you check the Xerox web site for an ICA scanner driver and if one is available and it is installed then the scanner should appear under the Shared section of Image Capture.
Note that Xerox may also offer a TWAIN driver for OS X. This can also make the device appear under the Shared section of Image Capture as well as provide a means for applications like Adobe Acrobat to scan.

TS3195 since installing ios7 on my ipad I can no longer import photos to my Mac using Image Capture or even Preview. The device appears in the device list, but no photos appear. Anyone have a solution for this? Is it another glitch in ios7?

Hi - I just dowloaded io7 to to my mini ipad and now cannot upload the photos on it to my Mac - which I was able to do with the old system, and still can do with my old first generation Ipad. Very annoying. The device appears in the list in Image Capture and Preview, but no photos appear. Is there a way around this? It is the quickest and best way of transferring photos from a mobile device to the computer - but has iOS 7 messed this up???

Hi I have figured it out on my own just today coz what apple suggested didn't help much so I just have to do it by myself.
This is what you need to do:
open your computer and search for autoplay, it will open rightaway and then scroll down look for your device then change "ask everything" to "import photos and videos in windows" connect your ipad again then tthe import box will open.. and your good!
i hope this will help you. Good luck! :-)

Image Capture shows no devices (again)

Hi,
I have a MacBook Air (2012) running Mac OS X 10.9.1, 1.8GHz Intel Core i5, with 4GB ram.
I have a Cannon MP510, it shows up on the list of printers in the System Preferences.
I had a similar problem with the previous operating system (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5419672)
I now have a Time Capsule and I have tried connecting the printer to my laptop with USB and also via the Airport Time Capsule (both by USB).
The MP510 show up in Printers & Scanners but no Scan, and Image Capture shows no devices as being found.
I have looked at:
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_s eries/pixma_mp510#DriversAndSoftware
But they have no drivers for 10.9.1 but I did try the driver for 10.8 again.
I have made sure that the printer is in Scan mode, I have tried Scan to PC, and Scan to PDF. (There isnt a Scan to Mac)
Any ideas on how I can get my MacBook to detect that the MP510 is also a scanner so that I can use image capture (or any other free software) to get scanned images on to my Mac?
Thanks,
Mulder

I have downloaded Cannon's MP Navigator and it says that it cannot communicate with the scanner, Scanner driver will be closed, and number 155.0.0

IPhone only shows up as a device in iTunes. Not in iPhoto, Image Capture, or anything else.

Right now, only iTunes sees my iPhone connnected to it. iPhoto doesn't see it, and neither does Image Capture or Xcode. I can sync with iTunes just fine, but I can't get transfer photos from my phone to my MacMini.
I have an iPhone 4 (not 4S) that I recently upgraded to IOS 5. My MacMini is running Lion (10.7.2) & was just purchased last month.

Just checked it. The settings in iPhoto are for "Connecting camera opens: iPhoto"
When I connect the phone, iPhoto will launch, but the iPhone will not show up under devices.
Where's the 2012 version of SCSI Probe when I need it?

Want to refresh Image Capture without disconnecting device

I'm using Image Capture to import iPad Screen captures to my iMac. The problem is that it "sees" only those images that were on the iPad when Image Capture started up.
In order to see subsequent images, I have to physically disconnect ("pull the plug") my iPad from my Mac. After I reconnect, Image Capture mounts the iPad anew and the the new images are visible.
Quiting Image Capture and relaunching it does not have the same effect, so it is obviously some OS function that is mounting/unmounting the iPad device.
Is there any OSX command that will do what I want (I'm comfortable using Terminal). I guess it would be something like mounting/ejecting a disk, but for a USB device instead.
I'd welcome info on any alternative ways of getting those new images over to my Mac for processing.
Thanks for any help.
Frank

I'm having the same problem with my iphone 4 and was sure that it was possible before updating to iOS 5. I've just checked this theory using my ipod touch which is still running iOS 4 and can confirm that it's something that used to be possible - new photos taken show up immediately in Image Capture as they are taken on the iPod. I'm wondering if this change has anything to do with iCloud.
Bit annoying so I'll be very interested to see if you come up with a work around...
