How to restart Image Capture

My old printer/scanner works fine with Image Capture and the Apple-supplied drivers, as long as I wait a bit between pages. Otherwise I have to restart the Mac (unplugging the printer or restarting Image Capture doesn't help) to get anything but various errors. There must be some backend process that I can restart separately to avoid this. Which?

Mikkel,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Pacifist 2.0.1 is a shareware application that opens Mac OS X .pkg package files, .dmg disk images, and .tar, .tgz, and .tar.gz file archives and allows you to extract individual files and folders out of them. This is useful, for instance, if an application which is installed by the operating system becomes damaged and needs to be reinstalled without the hassle of reinstalling all of Mac OS X.

How to use Image Capture to transfer images and video from Iphone

I was wondering if I can use the program Image Capture to transfer image and video files from my Iphone? I set up my iphone to be synced with my laptop and tried opening up Image Capture and the program does not read any device attatched. However once I tried connecting my iphone to my imac and Image Capture opened up automatically. Would it be because my iphone is synced with my laptop that prevents it from reading in Image Capture? Any input would be appreciated!

On your laptop, open iPhoto and check it's preferences > General, "Connecting camera opens ..." The available choices are iPhoto, Image Capture, or no application. Make sure it's set correctly.

Macbook pro doesn't recognize camera on image capture

My MacBook Pro doesn't recognize the built-in camera for a lot of my applications, including Image Capture. It doesn't show up anywhere in my system preferences. Any idea why this is so?

(1) Mac's built-in camera does not work with Image Capture.
Image Capture works with external devices like scanners, some iOS devices, some cameras and RAM cards, etc. Click this link for more info about Image capture and some of the apps that can work with your inbuilt camera.
Click here for info about how to use Image Capture to transfer images from a connected external camera.
For more info about Image Capture functions, see Image Capture > Help on your Mac or the Apple pages in this link.
(2) To test for application-specific problems mentioned in the "How to Troubleshoot iSight " article, use apps like Photo Booth, QuickTime Player, iChat, FaceTime, or others intended to work with your Mac's inbuilt camera.
(3) To test for user-specific problems mentioned in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 the "How to Troubleshoot iSight " article, you must have more than one user account. Do NOT use the "Guest" account. Click this link if you need help creating new accounts for testing.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs. The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue? I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
Thanks.

I had the same problem.
Got a 90% fix. Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
1. Quit Image Capture
2. Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
3. Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
4. Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
5. Quit and restart "Image Capture". Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder. It insists on saving to "Pictures".
That's as far as I was successful. I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
This is what I tried:
6. Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
7. Quit "Image Capture". Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
8. Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
9. Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer. I like "~/Desktop"
10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter. Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
I consider this a bug.

IPhone won't import pictures to Image Capture

Hi Everyone!
I'm having an issue - everytime I connect my iPhone to iMac I want to transfer the pictures to Image Capture and it always keeps giving me the same error message no matter what pictures I select to import.
It always says the following:
"An error occured while importing. 24 items were not imported:
    IMG_1329.JPG
    IMG_1330.JPG
    IMG_1331.JPG
    IMG_1332.JPG
    IMG_1333.JPG..."
Please help!
Thanks!

I have had the same problem all of a sudden, therefore I am replying to this thread. Strange thing was that imports from my iPad worked fine. I tried many solutions like restarting Image Capture, restarting my computer, changing the cable, deleting the contents of the DCIM folder on my iPhone. Nothing worked. What worked for me was:
1. Change the "Import to:" from "Pictures" to "Desktop" (a menu located in the center bottom window in image Capture v. 6.01.)
2. Change the "Import to:" back to "Pictures"
3. Import
Maybe this will help someone.

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...

Sharing scanner via image capture.

I am sharing a scanner via image capture thru my machine, but am running into the issue that it is not maintaining the "shared" setting. I am having to go under browse and recheck the share button virtually everytime i start image capture (or restart my machine)
Anyway ideas to get around this annoyance?
on a side note: from time to time image capture does not even recognize the scanner and i have to unplug, restart the scanner, restart image capture in order for it recognize it.
Thanks.

PAHU,
I feel like a complete idiot. It was exactly the lock button. The last time I finished using it, I locked it. I totally forgot about it and I never thought of that being the problem to check.
I really appreciate your help and thanks to you, I'm back and scanning!

Image Capture - Automatic Task

I wanted to put an applescript to post process images downloaded from my digital camera. I tried putting the applescript file in the following directories:
/Library/Scripts/Applications/Image Capture/
/Library/Workflows/Applications/Image Capture/
/System/Library/Image Capture/Automatic Tasks/
And restarting Image Capture and restarting computer and nothing shows up in the Automatic Task list. I tried selecting Other... but Automater or Applescripts are unselectable.
Any ideas?
Thanks

That's helpful, but doesn't provide a way to get the automatic task that Image Capture offered in 10.5. A folder action is not nearly as good, because typically one downloads multiple items off a camera, and you want the automatic task to run after this completes. I believe a folder action is triggered when the first item is added.
(You can add a kluge to the folder action script to wait for some amount of time, but that is a poor way of doing things, since you don't know the right amount of time; too short and you miss items; too long and the items aren't adjusted before you want to play with them.)
I'm puzzled why Apple would take away such a handy feature.

Hello apple guys, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

hello apple guys, after installing OS X Mavericks, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac". I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

How do I import an image to a message I'm composing in messages for mac without having to use image capture?

When I try to do this, I right-click in the compose area and click on "import image" and all I get is the image capture window which doesn't show anything. How do I do it from iphoto or another location such as the pictures folder?

I think that command is for getting a picture directly from a scanner or camera.
Just drag the photo you want from iPhoto onto the messages window.

How do I get Image Capture to recognize my iPhone so I can transfer videos to my MacBook ?

I cannot delete my old email from my Apple Discussions Profile.
I have an iPhone that is not letting me transfer videos I take with the Camera App onto my MacBook Air.
My photos transfer fine but the videos don't transfer at all.
I have tried Image Capture too and this does not even recognize my iPhone.
I have tried different USB cables and still no luck.
Even though one workaround is emailing videos to myself from my iPhone
this is not ideal because it compresses the files - thus losing video quality - and
it is super time-consuming because I have long videos that I need to break up into smaller clips
in my emails and I have almost 200 videos in all.
I think I have iPhone 5 but I don't know how to confirm.
Please advise.
Many thanks

In Image Capture, a network printer / scanner will appear under "Shared". If it is hidden, a number will appear adjacent to it, representing the number of hidden devices.
If it still does not appear, try resetting the printing system: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
After you do that you will need to add the device again according to the instructions here:
OS X Mavericks: Set up a printer
Follow the instructions below Add a network printer

Using what I believe is image capture, how do I go about pulling up a scanned document and attaching it to send it via email?

Using what I believe is the app Image Capture, exactly how do I go about scanning and attaching a PDF document in order to email it? After scanning it I'm having trouble locating it while attempting to attach it to an email. Thanks.

At the bottom left of the Image Capture window is a drop down menu called Scan To which will let you choose where your scan will be sent. Create a folder on your desktop named Scans and send your scans to it. Then rename the scan to whatever will help you remember what it is.
Then when in Mail you can click on Attach and find the Scans folder and attach your scan.

How do I find lost photos after Image Capture failed to import them to iPhoto?

im having this problem exactly .... http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20101215095521610
i chose to delete after import, like a wise guy, thinking nothing was going to happen and now my photos are not in my iPhoto libary... ive gone through all my images and i cant find them...
i used image capture to put all my photos into iphoto from my iphone 4 before i bought my 4S and i didnt back anything up, thinking i was fine...
when i went to iphoto they werent there, so i tried to quit iphoto and, as i did, it said my library was updating about 300+ photos, so i was like 'oh all i needed to do was restart iphoto'... but it was still a no-go, they still werent there...
i restarted my computer, looked at other peoples answers, and i just cant find them in any folder or anywhere....... and i cant find the folder from the link i posted... very tired and fustrated. i need help please : (

I don't think it can be done from within iPhoto but there's a way you can do it from outside. First download and launch QPict. Then do the following;
1 - open your iPhoto Library folder and type Command-F.
2 - in the search window create these two search criteria:
a - Kind is Folder
b - Name contains Original
3 - In the search results window click on the size column to separate the empty folders from those with files in them.
4 - select all of the folder that are not empty and drag into the open window of QPict.
That will open the original files in QPict so you can view them there and compare to those in iPhoto. Just remember do not move any of those folders out of the iPhoto Library folder. Just move them into the open window of QPict.

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.

How can I determine wasted HD file useage, HD full, Image Capture Manual?

I am a switcher. I have started using an SLR camera. I tried using imovie and iDVD and failed but now have more file room tied up. I deleted all but an DVD movie from stills and digital cam quicktime movies. I do not have a Handycam typecamera yet, but that is why I bought Iphoto 6. Have young grandchildren.
Big problem. Error came up that my hd was dangerously full . I began deleting unused programs I can add later.
I have a G5 with 160HD internal and an external LaCie which I have been using for .Backup. Having trouble reseting the timing on how frequently .Backup does its thing. So basically end up turning it off every few minutes.
Now...I am trying to learn more detailed use of Image Capture and the Apple bundled Graphic Converter. I do not see any pdf manual anywhere for these.
1. Can anyone direct me to manuals on these so I can stop duplicating all my files.
2. How can I see where my big file hogs are , especially duplicate files or even applications. I have PHotoshop CS2 in my computer (highest order of files) and in Applications in Rheta( my Home folder). If I delete it from the RhetaComputer level will it also disappear from my Applications?
I have recently upgraded to Tiger using the method where it leaves a copy of the previous system to find internet settings etc. I still had to delete and reinstall most applications, printer, scanner, Photoshop etc. afte Apple tech told me insisted I didn't need a clean install. Is this hogging space?
3. I found a book in the Missing Manual series on Apple Scripts. Which finds duplicate files, etc. It looked like a great way to keep organized. But it will have a learning curve. Would you recommend I get it.
4. I would like any suggestions on how to set up my computer (add a bigger internal drive), add a similar sized external hard drive for all old IPHOTO and Photoshop files, add a 300 gigabyte or so external hard drive for image storeage. and keep using .Mac Backup, or switch to a third party like ? easy to use for someone who doesn't know Unix or Apple script yet.
5.Take computer in to CompUSA or a local Apple consultant and sales store, in San Diego, it is Cry Wolf Consulting, buy the hard drives, have them set up the backup and routine maintenance.
6. I had a tech offer to spend 4-5 hours at $100 an hour to help me. I cannot afford. Want to get this fixed before crashes.
Please refer me to any Apple articles on full hard drives, using Image Capture to burn VCDs for non Apple users.
I have books, but when sitting here, overwhelmed. Any help or refer to other postings appreciated. thanks. Drowning in full desktoppp clutter, dulicate files, no way to separate my originals from my edits. I have CD and DVD burned originals, but how do you keep them in IPHOTO or Photoshop file name system. A good reference here . I have struggled with iphoto vs Photoshop since switching.

How can I see where my big file hogs are , especially duplicate files or even applications. I have PHotoshop CS2 in my computer (highest order of files) and in Applications in Rheta( my Home folder). If I delete it from the RhetaComputer level will it also disappear from my Applications?
You can use WhatSize to find where the space on your hard disk is being used. If an item is present in both the Applications folder on your hard disk and the folder in your home folder, you can delete one of the copies without deleting the other one.
