Disable Image Capture app

Since I can't delete the Image Capture App, how do I disable, break, maim or otherwise stop it from starting when I plug in a Compact Flash card?
Bill

Start Image capture and highlight the CF card. Click on the little triangle in the lower left. Select No application in the drop down box.

Image Capture.app is missing. How can I replace it

I cannot find Image Capture.app on my Mac (OS 10.5). I assume it should be in the Applications folder. Can I replace it and how?

Use Pacifist to extract it from your Mac OS X 10.5 DVD and then run the Mac OS X 10.5.8 combo updater.

Image Capture app not working since migrating to Lion.

Image Capture app isn't working so well since migrating to 10.7 Lion. Now when I try to scan, Image Capture hangs with a "Crop and Rotate" message. It doesn't import into iPhoto. Anyone else run into this type of problem?

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

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 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:

Hot to perminantly disable image capture?

Hey all,
I am using a bretford cart to manage 30 iPad's at once. We are having a problem with image capture poping up every time we plug in an iPad. I know people are going to be quick to point out that you can set image capture to do nothing with that device. But the problem is that every time we plug in an iPad it thinks it is the first time it's ever been connected. So no there is way to predifine a selected behavior pattern for it ahead of time. Is there a way to simply disable image capture that has been built in to the O.S. ? We will never need to export photos from a device on this machine so the image capture feature simply isn't needed.

Delete it from that machine. That's the only way I know. When you want to restore it, copy it from another machine running the same OS version.

Disable Image Capture Application COMPLETELY

Title says it all. I want to 100% disable Image Capture. I don't want to have it open under any circumstances. Yes, I know that you can disable it per device, but that pref never seems to stick on my personal machine.
For this workstation in particular, we have many different cards, phones, iPads, cameras, things of that nature being plugged into it (it's kind of a "dump your pictures to this workstation" kind of computer). I just don't want Image Capture from ever opening, ever, no matter what I plug into it the computer.
How is that accomplished? Plist file, some sort of terminal command, hidden preference files, something like that perhaps?

Delete it from that machine. That's the only way I know. When you want to restore it, copy it from another machine running the same OS version.

How do you disable Image Capture

When I insert a SD card in my iMac running OS 10.10, the program Image Capture starts. I find this an irritation. Does anyone know how to turn this off or disable the app?

Not sure but do you get a small triangular icon in the bottom left corner of Image Capture after selecting your SD card under Devices (top left), if so click and chose "No Application" - that's how you control on whether an iPad or iPhone opens Image Capture.

Image Capture App Not recognizing Iphone

Using a MBP with 10.5 with most recent updates. Running iphone 1.14
Iphoto does not import my pictures from my iphone. This is because image capture doesn't recognize it.
I have read many posts about this and will let you know what I have tried so far.
- Disabled auto syncing in itunes and image capture
- deleted the plist for iphoto, image capture, and preview.
- reinstalled image capture from original leopard cd using pacifist.
- reset and rebooted both devices many times.
I have an alternate install of OS X Leopard on an external USB drive which works well with my iphone and image capture, shows up right away.
Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be. I have given up, tried everything I could think of, but I know the problem lies with image capture not recognizing the iphone.

Already tried a connection without a hub, on both usb ports on the macbook.
As for secondary software that might interfere, none installed to my knowledge.
Well it looks like the mac quote of "it just works" doesnt work in my situation, I dont feel like booting to my second hard drive just to sync the photos. So I guess I will have to wait until my new macbook for a fresh install because I dont want to erase everything currently on my book.
might try and install and archive next time I have some serious software issues and hopefully that will solve my problems.

Image capture app

Hi guys
I have a bit of a problem. I have 1 CanoScan LiDE60 scanner
This is on my G4 mini Mac I can have access to it through my network from my iBook G4. But I do not seem to be able to see it with my Intel iMac.
Can it be done between a G4 and Intel? And if so how do I do it. I use the app Image Capture in applications across the network
iMac g3, iBook12", 'Minimac superdrive', intel iMac 17" Mac OS X (10.4.7) all have 1 gig ram

Hi, shaka.
Very strange. Unfortunately, I don't have an Intel-based Mac on hand at the moment to test this issue. You might want to search or post on one of the iMac (Intel Core Duo) Discussions to see if someone else with a mixed environment of PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs can reproduce the problem you are seeing with Image Capture. It may be a bug.
Another possibility would be to post to the Networking and the Web Discussion, though I'd try the Intel-based iMac Discussions first.
If you post on the Intel-based iMac Discussion, include a link to this topic so those responding can also see what you've already tried.
Good luck!

Image Capture App fails in Mavericks

I have just recently downloaded Mavericks, and the one app that does not function is Image Capture so no camera is functioning. I ahve looked very widely at the net and it seems to be a widespread problem. It is a perfectly functionning app in my previous setup. I can find it back in Time machnine, but I can not seem to get it to work in Maverick.
It is not available in the App Store. It is native to Apple and will not stand any interference.
Surely this is a glitch that Apple should fix with an update, and not expect amateur computer people to fiddle around with NVRAM etc etc.
Why would a perfectly good app (from Apple) stop working in a new installation. It does not make sense!!!!

What happens when you try to use it?

I deleted photos from my iPhone but still see them in Image Capture app

I am running iOS 8 and I have a problem with my photo library. I deleted all the photos form my phone, and went into "recently deleted" and made sure I permanently deleted them, however when I plug my phone into my Mac and look in image capture, I still see over 400 photos in there. Does anybody know if there's any way to figure out where these photos reside on my iPhone? They aren't viewable through the photos app and seem to be taking up space but are not usable.
I currently have all iCloud photo related functions turned off.

Hello J-a-x,
It sounds like you are seeing photos in Image Capture that you have removed from the Photos app by deleting them from the Recently Deleted album. It seems to me that the Photos app is going to be the linchpin here so thats where I would troubleshoot. Start by closing all the apps that are running on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Then see if the photos are showing anywhere in the Photos app. If so delete them once more, in the same way you had before, also removing them from Recently Deleted and see if Image Capture is detecting them or not.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

"Scan" button grayed out in Image Capture.app

Two days ago my scanner was working fine with Image Capture. Just now when I tried to scan again, Image Capture sees the scanner and does the "Overview" scan just fine, however when I go to do the actual scan, the SCAN button is grayed out and I can't scan my documents. Does anyone know what might be going on?
20" Intel Core 2 Duo iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2GB RAM, 256 Graphics card

I reselected the scanner and that seemed to do the trick.

Image Capture App quits before it even starts

I'm trying to download some video clips from my Fuji FinePix digital camera and need to use Image Capture... but the darn thing won't even open! How do I find out what's wrong and get it to work again??
Thanks

Hello AgnieszkaW, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Might try this...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Trash any all of these files & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.ImageCapture. anything.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ImageCapture?.plist
/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.ImageCapture?.anything.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ImageCapture?.plist

You cannot open "Image Capture.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete

Any ideas how to deal with this.
I figured I could download a version of it, but cannot find a Mac OS download site

I have the identical problem. I tried re-installing the bundled software from the OSX install discs, but that didn't help. I don't really want to re-install and then update the entire OS, and I'd rather not spend $20 for shareware. Is there any other way to fix this non-functioning application?
