IMac 10.7.3 wont delete my pictures using image capture

Imac wont delete picture using Image capture

Yes...I had the same problem; nothing to do with the card or my iPod Touch 4G.
Below, a screenshot.
Delete after import is grayed out. Sometimes it is not even there!
If Image Capture had any Preferences perhaps that would help -- or if Aperature could delete
photos after import, but right now it is frustrating.
It's 'interesting,' that OS Lion is suspected.
I've been spending an hour or so every morning now on this. Today I discovered there is an Automator action for importing pictures from a folder and then deleting them.
So now if Image Capture would do it's thing...perhaps this could be a smooth workflow.
So, Why Does Delete After Import in Image Capture be grayed out? Or not even there? Even when importing to a folder?
Is it the Lion in the jungle? And/or some other reasons?

Taking pictures using image capture and Nikon d50

Hi, does any one know if it is possible to take pictures using image capture whilst my nikon d50 is connected to my MacBook so that the image is shown on the MacBook screen.

Yes! Indeed, I have that very same D50 (lovely isn't it?) and I just happenned to have taken already some pictures with it, from the computer.
Once it's pluggeg, go in Applications> Image Capture.
From there, you will either be able to download all the picture from the D50, or take new shots.
You can even share the camera (and it's pictures) online, so someone can even take picture with it (through a webpage). You could even try this yourself, play around in Image Capture and with it's share features, and somewhere it will give you the adress (internal ip adress) so suposely someone from your network (including your own computer) could go, check, and take pictures.
I've tried the web interface from my computer, but couldn't make it work with another one from my LAN. Have to work around this.
But in Image Capture, first make sure the D50 is selected (Devices>[pick it]) and then there is what you are looking for in the upper bar of the window.
Have fun!

Transferring Videos/Pictures Using Image Capture

I'm using Image Capture to transfer my iphone pics and vids to my desktop. Recently, the transfer has corrupted the files and caused some sort of flickering in the videos and a similar effect on the pics. I no longer have the originals. Is there a way to correct these files? I've attached some samples.

Can I use Image Capture to take a picture using a Canon EOS 10D?

Normally I use a card reader to download digital photos, but today I hooked my camera directly to my iMac. I then noticed the "Take Picture" button, so I tried to use it to take a picture with my Canon EOS 10D. Image Capture didn't refuse, it just showed the 'cogwheel' animated cursor and got stuck. What does this mean - is it that this particular camera won't work or that there is something wrong with the setup? I have other digital cameras, but I don't want to work all this out by experiment alone - how can I find out more about how this feature of IC works and what exactly is going on when I press "Take Picture"? There is absolutely no technical info in the Help files.

The Help on Image Capture has the following:
Many cameras let you take a picture using Image Capture when the camera is connected to your computer.
To take a picture:
Connect your camera and open Image Capture.
Click Download Some.
Click Take Picture.
The camera snaps a picture, which then appears in the window.
If you don’t see the Take Picture icon, choose View > Customize Toolbar, and drag the Take Picture icon to the toolbar.
If the Take Picture icon is dimmed, your camera doesn’t support this feature.
As the option is available to you, your camera supports +Tethered Shooting+. If it’s not working check your camera’s manual to see do you need this enabled on your camera.

Can't take pictures with Image Capture - Canon Camera

I can't take pictures using Image Capture using either my Canon Power Shot A710IS or my husband's SD600. I can download pictures with both cameras, but if I switch to shooting mode, Image Capture says "No Image Capture Device Connected." I know it worked with my PowerShot A75, but my *&%$ son broke it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would call (800) 828-4040 Canon Tech Support. I have found them very helpful, and its easier than typing here

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.

Using Image Capture to import to Aperture but pictures went disappeared

Dear All,
I used Image Capture to import my pictures from iPad to my Aperture. This is my first time doing so. Normally I would just use Aperture to do the direct import.
The Image Capture saying all imports were successful, however, I could not find one single picture in Aperture. So I did it again, and it said all images were imported.
I restarted my computer to see whether the update was delayed, but I still could not find any picture.
Then I tried to import again by watching out the disk size, to see whether the import was actually taken place. And the outcome is positive, the available size of the disk is dropping (nothing else was running at the mean time).
So now I have this annoying thought keeps coming, where are all the images? And if I did import them 3 times, I want to delete them......

Your Aperture library is showing a wrong icon - have you changed it manually? The Finder is showing it as a plug-in, not as a photo library.
The icon should look like a fan of pictures, at least in aperture 3 - what is your Aperture version btw.?
You said, that the available disk space is being reduced, when you are importing, but does the size of your Aperture library increase, or is it staying at 46.82 GB?
If you did not change the icon of the library intentionally, your aperture library may be corrupted, and is not recognizable as a library. Try, if repairing the Aperture library with the First Aid Tools will fix this:
Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
Make a backup of the library, before you try the First Aid options.
After repairing, look for a "recovered" project inside the library.
If your current Aperture library really does not import the photos, the images may be in a temporary folder or a different Aperture library.
To search for the image files outside Aperture, use the Finder's search panel.
Open a Finder window showing your HD and type "⌘F".
Add a search rule "Kind is Image"
And set "Arrange by" to "Date Added". This will show all newer imports at the end of the list.

Can't delete photos using Image Capture

I just upgraded from an iPhone4 to 5s....all of a sudden I can't delete photos using Image Capture like I used to. The "delete" menu item is grayed out. The "delete after import" checkbox in the lower right is available, but I don't need to download all of these photos videos. I poked around in the iPhone settings but didn't see anything which seems to control this.

Hey guys, I had the same problem on iOS 8.0.2, I couldn't delete any pictures from my Mac neither in Image Capture nor in iPhoto. I've just figured out how to resolve this. You have to disable iCloud Photo Library (Beta) under Settings > Photos & Camera. Since it seems to be an iOS 8 related issue, I'm not sure if I am referring to the same problem as in the original post but I thought I'll let you know anyway.

I'm trying to delete multiple pix in iPhoto that i stupidly made duplicates of without knowing, I've tried going into the applications folder and using image capture but i think I've missed a step , can anyone send the correct info / steps pls thanks

again image capture is not involved with deleting photos from iPhoto in any way ever
the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager is very good for finding duplicates as is Duplicate Annihilator
And I have no idea who told you this - or what it means - but re-read both of my opening statements
I was told I could delete multpiles thru image capture by transferring my iPhoto library etc

HT4505 I see my scanned picture in image capture but how do you get it to iPhoto?

I can see my scanned picture in image capture but how do you het it in iPhoto or on your desktop?

Hello:
It has options to "scan to..." If I scan using Image Capture, I scan it to the desktop (jpeg). If you want to get it into iPhoto, open iPhoto and import the picture.

IMac applications see my iPhone 5s but cannot display the photos. Last week I was using Image Capture with no problem.

I have an iMac 10.8.4 and an iPhone 5s. I recently downloaded 110 photos and 10 very short videos using Image Capture v.6.2. I plugged the phone into the iMac, all of the photos appeared in Image Capture, I selected all and sent them along to a folder on an external hd.
However, this week, attempting the same procedure, I get nothing. Image Capture sees my phone but does not display any photos, just a big blank window. Same response from iPhoto, Aperture, and Lightroom; they all recognize the phone but none of the photos appear. Insight would be appreciated! Thanks.

Hello WellShoot,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with importing photos from your Camera Roll using Image Capture. You have taken some really good steps already to troubleshoot this issue. The article below has a few additional troubleshooting steps you can take:

I'm using Image Capture over one year, between my Epson XP-800 and iMac, sometimes very fast and quiet often very, very slow. I've tried to use Epson Scan 3.7.9fO but not compatible with OS X 10.9.5x Why, please..

I'm using Image Capture over one year now, using wireless between my iMac and Epson XP-800 and sometimes very fast scans and quiet often very, very slow scans. I have tried to use Epson Scan Software 3.7.9f0 but not compatible with OS X 10.9.5x. There is very little other wireless traffic and I have a fast broadband connection. Thanks

Mike,
Thanks, but, I don't want more software as I have used both Epson and Image Capture. Is there not a solution with existing Epson and Image Capture..?

How can I keep my images from being deleted when using Image capture. Even when I do not check the box they still get deleted.

This happened after I updated my operating system.

Whats with the MBP lid? Dont close it ... if you're so concerned! Just go to System Preferences/Energy Saver and set it to how you like it.

How can I delete damaged picture files without opening iPhoto?

I was downloading a few pics from my roommates professional-quality camera (I'm assume the file sizes are huge) and, of course, I had to download all 150 or so, instead just the few I needed. Anyway, I got a message that some of the files were "damaged" and couldn't be downloaded. Now, when I open iPhoto it either just locks up or shows some of the files downloaded, doesn't show others, and then locks up. So, what I need to do is just delete all pictures from that date without opening iPhoto .... any ideas how to do this?

1 - In the future if you want only certain photos use image capture (in your applications folder) - with it you can selective load photos
2 - try rebuilding your library - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and use the first three rebuild options
Do not use the finder to modify the contents of the iPhoto library

HT4236 as per my earlier question about deleting duplicate pictures from my Ipad- You asked how they were imported- I imported my pictures from my camera to my MacBook and then synched. suggestions have not worked to remove pics. hopefully something will

In response to all of your responses. I imported my pictures from my camera- that worked fine. I tend to use Iphoto.
Then I synched my MacBook and Ipad 2, that worked fine except when I synched my Ipad for it's normal 2 week synching it copied the pictures again. Now I want to get rid of the duplicates/triplicates- my albums were also broken up and need to be reorganized. I have tried all of your suggestions - thank you-
have gone to the Apple store with no success.
highlighting the pictures and then hitting delete does not work.
Trying to delete them thru my Mac does not work
highlighting and then going to edit does not have a delete
Did not find Image Capture in apps.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
