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.

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.

'Import All' is disable at Image Capture

Hi!!
I just upgrade to Yosemite, and when I insert an SD (only photos) to my MacBook Pro, the Image Capture program shows up. But when I want to import all media, the button 'Import All' is disable.
Does any one knows why is happening this?
This is the same SD that I was using with my Canon, and did not had this problem with Mavericks.
Thanks a lot in advanced.

Thanks Glenn Leblanc!
I think there is a problem with the software.
I tried this:
1. Hide the 'Devices' list.
2. Show the 'Devices' list.
3. Then selected the SD, and magically the 'Import All' button became available.
Even if you select 1 file from the list, the button is available.
Greetings!!

Encore button thumbnail image capture - then disable

Hi all
One of the good features of encore, that is most useful for inexperienced users
is the button thumbnail image/video extraction
however the facility to retain the image capture seems locked with the functional button presence on the dvd menu
have i overlooked a method of disabling of this within encore without loss of image capture, or is it a photoshop requirement
Any suggestions
Regards
Robert

Hi John
your solution seems like the most workable solution so far for video display in this button thumbnail, this does work quite effectively although the button is still present.
thanks for this, heres some further solutions/info we have
PHOTO ONLY DISPLAY after firstly setting the link of the button to the relevant imported image timeline to complete thumbnail capture choose - convert the button to an object
this effectively traps the image capture and resolves the issues of navigation and retains the auto button route.
VIDEO DISPLAY
The preview feature - render motion menus may be a good solution for the video thumbnail however it is exported in mpg and the quality may be reduced
the render motion menus facility will compile a video from the items visible at any time.
example
Hide from view all non required items in the motion background ie other buttons and text items
excluding the thumbnail button and background
then by setting the link of the button to the relevant chapter or video to complete video capture
choose - render motion menus
encore compiles a video background with the video thumb nail included and saves it in the respective project sources/menus folder named Video_Bpgc_Asf.mpg
by importing a copy of this into your project (must be a copy)
and using this as the motion background to the menu, all navigation issues and auto button routing are solved
after of course deleting or disabling the respective button from the menu and reactivating all hidden buttons and text etc.
or am i being lazy and trying to avoid a jump to another software to do this ?
Regards
Robert

I can print to a Lexmark X4550, but not scan (with Image Capture)

Following tips (by "Lexmark Listens" and others) I succeded in printing (via USB and wifi) to a Lexmark X4550.
But when scanning (via USB) using the Image Capture app (included in Mac OS), Image Capture sees the scanner a couple of seconds, then complains that no scanner is connected (although it still is).
This happens with a MacBook (Pro), but not with another MacBook (white).
I tried (not necessarily in this order):
- reboot
- repair disk permissions
- re-installing drivers (both printer driver and "Image Capture Application Scan Driver for for 10.6.8 and later Mac OS") from Lexmark support site.
- running Mac OS software update (which updated the printer driver to version 2.8]
- resetting the printing system: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
How can I completely remove all files related to Lexmark printers&scanners and try again installing from a clean state?
(I see in other posts that a Lexmark Uninstaller is sometimes located in HD/Library/Printers/Lexmark/YEAR/ ; I used to have one here, but it was removed during previous attempts at getting the scanner working ; and anyway when I run this Uninstaller at the time, it did not completely clean the /Printer/Lexmark)
My problem is very similar to this one described in this bug report in Lexmark knowledge base:
http://bit.ly/MOR9bd
But the patch proposed is "For Mac OS X 10.6 only" and titled "LexmarkPro800-Pro900SeriesQFE1.0.0.dmg" so I don't think it would work for a Lexmark X4550. (Indeed I installed this patch and the problem is still there).
As for the workaround suggested, "When using Apple's Image Capture application, do not use the "Show Details" option [...]", I can't get it to work: as soon as I launch Image Capture, it starts scanning (a preview) and the "Show Details" bouton is grayed out.
I've already spent many hours trying to get this printer-scanner to work with my Mac.
Any suggestion would be very helpful!

Same issue, sort of. After ML upgrade, Lexmark x264dn fails to register as a printer & scanner, there is no scan tab anymore. Also, image capture application is stuck in a crash loop until I disable mDNS (bonjour) on the printer. Still, it does not register as a scanner anywhere (protoshop, image capture, preview...)
I have installed all the package scripts from Lexmark's Mountain Lion support page. No dice.

Image Capture Overview vs. Scan

Hi! I am fairly new to Mac, so please bear with me. I have a 2012 iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. My printer/scanner is an Epson WP-4530. I am using Image Capture 6.6 (525). My question is this...why is the Overview image on my screen so incredibly different than what is actually scanned? I kept the settings that the software set out for text, and it's a hot mess. I've tried playing around with the settings, but I can't figure this out. Logic tells me there has to be a simple solution since the Overview is so good, but I'm at a loss. Please help!!

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 launches every time I connect my iPhone or iPad to my MacBook Pro.

Is there a way to disable this? There doesn't seem to be a Preferences pane for it.

Thanks for the reply. It was already set to No application. But since launching iPhoto and choosing the preferences, then closing iPhoto, Image Capture no longer launches.

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.

Pentax DSmobile 600 with Image Capture only sayd "No paper loaded..."

I was using Paperless to scan documents, but Paperless is not fully working on Snow Leopard yet. I re-installed the Pentax DSmobile 600 TWAIN driver tonight, but I still cannot scan documents into my Mac.
If I select "Flatbed" as the Scan Mode, I can get it to "Overview" a document quite nicely. But when I tried to scan it it doesn't go well. When I use "Document Feeder" as the Scan Mode, Image Capture just sits there saying "No paper loaded..."
A workaround is to "Hide Details" at which point it seems to start allowing me to scan again.
Is this a bug with Image Capture?
To reproduce:
* Open Image Capture
* Choose Show Details
* Select "Flatbed" as the scan mode
* Select "Document Feeder" as the scan mode
* "No paper loaded..." displays on the screen, Scan button disabled.
* Click "Hide Details" and you can Scan again.

I got in contact with Pentax/Brother about the DSmobile and they said:

Does anyone happen to know if there are other SW packages that enable calibration of this scanner? I've already tried (and let expire) Paperless and currently have a brand new but useless dsmobile 600 sitting on my desk - which I ironically chose over other models because of the recommendation by Mariner software for this:
from http://www.marinersoftware.com/sitepage.php?page=152:
{quote}"Nearly any scanner will work with Paperless through the Image Capture method, however we strongly recommend using a TWAIN compliant scanner or Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500M, Fujitsu ScanSnap S300M or Pentax DS mobile 600. We have found that Fujitsu and Pentax have the best drivers on the market at this time; your results may vary using any other scanner. "{quote}

Restore file " Image Capture"

I lost this file in "Applications" trying to resolve a problem with Canon scanner drivers.
How can I restore/download this file? I think I need this file to load photos from my camera
to hard drive. I can't find a stand alone file that isn't bundled with other applications.
Thank you for for your consideration!
Brian

Without IMAGE CAPTURE I don't get the question: "would you like to delete the files on your camera?"
Where do you get this question? There is an option in iPhoto to delete after import.
How do you normally import photos from camera to computer?
Next: A hot link to authorize downloading photos. Click on this and your photos are imported into the program iPhoto.
You can open iPhoto and import pix directly. And have iPhoto open when you plug in the camera.
What are your concerns about my using Pacifist?
No concerns at all. Go ahead and get *Image Capture* reinstalled but I don't believe it is required.
*Image Capture* is there if you do not have (or don't want to use) anything else.

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.

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.

Image Capture - Download Images

I am having a hard time finding info on scripting Image Capture. Basically I want to have my script create a new folder, and then have Image Capture download all the images from the attached camera to that folder.
I have no problem creating the folder or opening image capture I just cant figure out how to get Image Caputer to download the images... So if someone could give me some insight I would really appreciate it.

Oh I understand how to get images off the camera its just that I support people that don't.
The real problem here is that we are starting to move away from using Macs, it'll take years but its going to happen. I dislike the way iPhoto organizes the actual files, in fact is terrible as far as I am concerned. So I was hoping to have the script do the following:
-Make a folder that describes the event
-Move picture files to the folder
-import folder to iPhoto (with the setting to copy the files to the folder disabled)
So we could keep on using iPhoto on the Mac and when we want to let others access them from Mac/Windows/Whatever they are actually organized.

Hot to perminantly disable image capture?
