Can't Select File Format in Image Capture

I just installed SANE software to support my old HP 5470c scanner on my new Mac Mini running Lion. If I select Color or Black and White, I can't select a file format. If I select Text, I can choose TIFF, PNG, or PDF. Also the Scan button only works in Text mode, presumably because a file format is not selected. Is this an issue with Image Capture or did I need to set up some file formats some where?
Thanks,
Curt
P.S. I can get a color scan in basic mode although the scan itself is corrupt.

I had a similar issue where only a few file formats were available when color was selected (png, tiff and something else, which i knew was weird because i've always scanned to jpeg and that was not an option). The menu went back to normal, fully populated with all of the file formats once again when i toggled the DPI menu. I had been at 300 DPI, I simply switched it to 100 and then back to 300, and suddenly I had twice as many formats to choose from. Hope that helps.

  • How can I print File Format definitions?

    We have multiple text and spreadsheet input files we use to load data to our DW.  Is there a way I can print the format definitions for the the text and spreadsheet files?
    I've used the Auto documentation feature for work flows and data flows, but don't see an option for the print the File Formats (very well could be user error!).
    Thanks for any insight...

    You can view the file format in the Auto Documentation page but don't see a button to print it out.  Is this what you are looking for? ...

  • Where are temporary files created for "image capture"?

    Hi all
    I have been using image capture with no problem whatsoever, until recently. I was scanning a big file and while it was saving it or something I closed the lid of the computer and interrupted the scan. Now the scanner can do a preview but is no longer able to "scan" the file that i see perfectly through preview. I think that the problem is that there is a corrupt temporary file somewhere that needs to be manually deleted. If you know where such files are stored or if you have a better idea, please let me know.

    You may be on to the correct solution. I've seen this problem with a big printing job that a user had to cancel and then had to "go in" and delete the print job before they could print again. On the Mac, there is something called CUPS (something Unix Printing System) and it has a role in printing and I believe faxing. It "might" play a role in scanning through Image Capture but I'm not sure. Anyway give it a look and see if there is an incomplete scan job in there that you can delete.
    Note: this looks like a website URL but it leads to CUPS on your Mac.
    http://127.0.0.1:631/jobs/
    This may not be applicable to scanners but it's worth a look.

  • Can't select files to import

    I have some DVDs from an event that we held. They were recorded directly to the disk, but are regular disks, not mini ones. I got the video off with Handbreak and now have an .m4v file that I'm trying to import into iMovie to edit. I didn't change any of the default settings on Handbreak (other than the destination and name of the file) and I've tried getting the file again, restarting the computer, etc. I can never select the file I need, it's always gray. I'm going through Import Movies, there is enough space for the file, it's nothing fancy (like HD). Any ideas? (And this is all fairly new to me, so don't assume I know much! It may be a stupid error and/or it would be really easy to talk over my head.)

    iMovie '08 will only allow you to to import files containing compression formats that can be edited, but MPEG-4 is one of those formats, so I don't know what the original poster's problem turned out to be. Generally, (I found this info from another thread) to import formats like WMV, etc., you have to first convert it to any of the acceptable compression formats: DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264. For audio this may include DV, AIFF, AAC, Unsigned Integer, Uncompressed, etc. Files with adaptive PCM (ADPCM) -- a common AVI audio compression format for digital cameras -- will not import.
    The simple method of converting is using Quicktime Pro. Opening the file and choosing to export it. When dealing with wmv files, it's necessary to have the upgraded version of Flip4Mac. A cheaper, but less featured app is called Visual Hub.

  • Can't choose download folder with Image Capture

    Hi,
    I am using Image Capture and am not able to choose the location where I would like to save my images. When I click on the "Download To:" pulldown menu, it is grayed out and blank, with a single checkmark.
    Additionally, when I click on "Preferences" in the File menu, nothing happens.
    I've tried removing the preferences file and have made sure I have the most updated version of Tiger. Any other suggestions as to how to fix this problem? I have used Image Capture in the past and really like it; I'm not sure what caused this to happen.

    Francine, thank you so much for the tips. It took me over two months but I finally got around to trying to take care of this.
    I tried your suggestions in order. Steps 1-3 did not fix the problem, but reinstalling from Pacifist did (thank goodness!). Wish I had tried that from the get-go.
    Thanks again to everyone for all the suggestions.
    There are a couple of things to try:
    1. If you haven't done so lately, try Disk Utility
    and Repair Permissions. Won't hurt, it's quick and
    easy, and there is a remote possibility that it will
    help. It actually does occasionally fix something
    strange like this.
    2. Go to http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ and
    download the COMBO 10.4.8 updater (it is huge, like
    148MBs) and run it, then Repair Permissions again.
    3. Restart and hold down the Shift key when you hear
    the startup chime. This will force the computer to do
    a Safe boot. When you see the splash screen saying
    "Safe Mode" release the Shift key. The boot will take
    longer than normal as the system repairs the disk,
    empties font caches, and disables startup items. Not
    sure if Image Capture will run correctly with some
    Apple startup items disabled, but you can try it.
    Restart normally afterwards.
    4. You can download Pacifist here:
    http://www.charlessoft.com/
    It will extract things from your Install disk so you
    can install only what you need, in your case Image
    Capture.
    My Image Capture has never had a problem, so I'm
    afraid all I can recommend is these general
    approaches. Hope one of them helps.

  • Can't Extract Files from System Image DVD

    I recently created a Windows 7 system image onto DVD-RWs as my HDD was suspect.  The HDD was replaced under warranty. When I came to restore the system image I got up to the fourth DVD and the process would not go any further (could not read the DVD).
    I then tried to extract some of the more important files from the first three disks that the restore process had read successfully.  I used the AttachVHD option under Computer management however for every .vhd file which I tried to attach I received a "The file or directory is corrupted anf unreadable" error message from the Virtual Disk Manager.
    I also tried 7-Zip to extract files but received the message "Can not open file as archive" each time.
    Can any one throw any light on why I can't read these .vfd files?

    Only last night a user went through the same situation as you are going through. Details are important. For now I am assuming that your computer is Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit. If other post immediately to let me know.
    1. You need two files from Adobe, one .exe and the other .7z. If you have a 64 bit computer operating system
    make sure the you see 64 in the name of the file.
    2. Assure that you have antivirus and firewall disabled.
    3. Right click the .exe file and select Run As Administrator. The double click the .exe to Run it. This will lead
    you into the 7z which is the program.
    If the desktop is not working as the destination for the Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Folder which will be present after the 7z has completed, then set it to Documents.
    In the Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Folder, double click the PRE12 Folder to find the Setup.exe from which you will
    install the program.
    I will be back in a moment to add the link to last night's thread where we went through what you are going through now.
    Make sure at the onset that you have the right files to be used with your specific operating system.

  • HT4505 can you scan 4x6 photos using Image Capture that will actually scan as a 4x6 photo. I have to crop the photo once it is scanned

    Can you scan multiple 4x6 photos using image Capture that will actually scan as a 4x6 photo? I seem to have to crop each photo once it is scanned.

    How long is a string?
    The answer depends on a large number of variables
    Cropping removes the area cropped off so the pixel size of a cropped photos is smaller than an upcropped one
    With iPhoto you can always revert ot the original so if the new quality is not enough for your use you can go back to the uncropped original
    size - many meanings
    DPI - simple - Dots Per Inch - the number of dots (pixels) in a dimension divided by the number of inches of the display(print) - very simple math
    Pixels and dots are the same for this discussion
    so if a photo is shot in a 3:2 ratio (6x4 is also a 3:2 ratio) then the photo is the shape of a 4x6 photo with no cropping - is a photo shot in a 4:3 ratio is cropped to a 4:6 ratio (which is also a 3:2 ratio) then some information is going to be removed - assuming that you set the cropping frame as large as possible in one direction and only crop two sides then you lose the minimum amount of information
    Most iPhoto uses of photos are designed aroung 4:3 photos so in general I would only recommend cropping 4:3 photos if you want to print them in standard print sizes
    iPhoto slide shows will work best with 4:3 photos so cropping to 4:6 would be a mistake

  • Can't select files for uploading through Flash Player

    I can only say that this seems to be related to Flash Player, but I'm not 100% sure exactly what the cause of the problem is.
    On most sites that uses a Flash uploader it won't allow me to select files for uploading. When I get to the Select A File dialogue box
    all files are greyed out. This happens in Chrome, Firefox and Safari. I'm using the latest version of Mac OSX. I can't seem to find
    any information about this anywhere on the web.

    Make sure Java and Javascript are both turned on in Safari Preferences/Security.

  • Date format in Image capture

    When I connect a camera, Image Capture opens and displays all the images in American date format.  Both my camera and my computer are set to Australian date format.
    What gives?

    OK, here is my new strategy:
    A new feature of Snow Leopard OSX 10.6 is that Image Capture (and iPhoto) will put a green check mark next to any photos already downloaded. Therefore, it makes it much much easier to figure out the new from the old.
    In addition to that, I went into my iPhone using PhoneView and reset the images back to IMG_00001. This required me to get rid of my thousands of photos on the iPhone, but oh well.
    So starting over seemed to be the best way to manage this mess.

  • Can I create File Formats for Bank Transfers?

    Hello Everyone!
    I need to know if Sap B1 2007A allow me to create File Formats for bank transfers in outgoing payments. I¨m in Colombia, South America, and working as Chile does.
    It is available documentation related to this issue?
    Thanks very much

    Kerstin,
    Thanks for the information.
    I might be wrong, but I understood that SAP did allow you to create dll files for this purpose. In the Document Resource Center in the Add-ons section, click on Payment Engine. There is a document called
    'Payment Engine Plug-in Development Guide in Release 6.5'.
    Claudia - you might want to see if this document is any use for you.
    Although the name shows release 6.5, this document still appears for both 2005 and 2007.
    I also checked 2007A and it still has the prompt for File Format.
    As I said, I might be wrong, because I do not know anyone who has tried to create a plug-in, but if this is not for creating your own dll files, do you know what it is for?
    Let me know what you think.
    Regards,
    Douglas

  • Can't select file names in list view

    System: Mac Pro 2.93 Quad-Core, 6GB RAM, 10.6.2
    I updated from 10.6.1 to 10.6.2 using software update AND from 10.6 to 10.6.2 doing a clean install. Both times I had problems with the finder: first, the icons in the sidebar turned into "page" icons (a white rectangle similar to the Documents icon, but one sheet instead of "two"), then I couldn't select the file names (to change the name of a file) in list view. Strangely I could do so in icon view or using Get Info. I trashed the com.apple.finder.plist file, and now every window has it's own set of values (different icon sizes and sorting prefs.) and I can't seem to make all windows default to a set of view/sort values (every time I open a window they change even after I selected "use values as defaults").
    I'm stumped any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Also, if the finder is "acting-up," does that mean that copying files, doing backups and the like, are all compromised? (This would be really upsetting).
    Thanks

    Hi all... Simple Simon here...
    I'm wondering if we are suggesting using a 500 Megaton Nuclear Warhead to get rid of the fly on the wall.
    Don't get me wrong here, Scripting is great and it's amazing with what it can do and I always appreciate seeing posts from Praful that address issues. I think that's wonderful. I really do.
    But why isn't this as simple as using the Multi-file find and replace tool to locate .BMP inside the files and replace it with .PNG?
    Am I missing something? I must be.
