Image Capture and iPhoto recognize my camera as a device but won't display photos

Everything worked fine under Mavericks.  Might have to revert to that again if this problem isn't fixed.  I'm downloading the Mavericks installer as I write this.

As has been noted in other posts about this problem, reformatting the card is not a solution.  I format the card after I download pics in Mavericks on a regular basis.  The problem lies with Yosemite's remake of Image Capture (and iPhoto), not with my old Canon camera.

  • Image Capture and iPhoto have extra copies of my devices

    Every time I open up iPhoto or Image Capture, a previous copy of my iPhone appears as if it is a separate device that is already connected to the app. This happens even if I open the app and have not attached my actual iPhone. (I only attach my iPhone to the Mac, and nothing else.)
    In iPhoto, the device WILL "unmount", but appears again on every startup. There are 1734 images on this imaginary device, and my actual iPhone is under 800 images at the moment. My iPhoto will SOMETIMES let me import my photos (so I can save them to the laptop and clear up space on the iPhone).
    In Image Capture, the device will not "unmount" (or remove or whatever the proper term is). The images on that device will not delete, will not download, and will not import or "delete after import". I'm not sure what else to do other than delete the app and reinstall it, but this makes me mildly nervous sinec I'm not terribly savvy with Macs yet. (I was a PC "go-to" guy in every office I ever worked in for about a decade, so I'm not a total n00b.)
    And help, tips, or advice would be appreciated!

  • IPhone 3G's camera roll empty on Image Capture (and iPhoto)

    I have 11 photos on the iPhone. I have loaded them to MobileMe, but they are scaled down with no EXIF data. The iPhone loads fine in iTunes, and the device can be seen by Image Capture and iPhoto. These apps just can't see the Camera Roll with the 11 photos. I have tried resetting everything but nothing works.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    The sync DOES NOT copy off pictures for you (yes it is part of backup file though, but not image files you can touch).
    iTunes CAN sync pictures TO the phone but not to Camera Roll.
    The Camera Roll is a special partition on the phone that when connected to a computer acts like *any other* digital camera. Thus to take pictures off the camera roll, you use what ever software you use to take off pictures of any of your digital cameras (as for Windows, it has the default Camera/Scanner wizard that it will normally offer up unless you told it to stop suggesting it).
    So once connected, no sync is needed. But your PC (unless you changed default settings in Windows as it has nothing to do with iTunes) will prompt you about a camera being attached and what do you want it to do.
    Even if it doesn't ask, it should show up under My Computer and you can just browse to it and copy the images off.

  • Deleted Image Capture and iPhoto...oops...Now What?

    Hi, all. Like the title suggests, I removed Image Capture and iPhoto from my computer several months ago, thinking, "when will I ever need to hook up a digital camera?" Heh. The installer disks are with my parents several hundred miles away, and so getting them re-installed that way would be at best a hassle, plus it appears that iPhoto can't be re-installed once deleted without the original version installed to upgrade from. So, now what? Is there some place I can download Image Capture, in particular? I'm not a big user of iPhoto (hence the deletion), but getting Image Capture back would be...good. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Greg Turnipseed

    Hi, Allan. The versions of iPhoto I tried to install came off the OS installer disks. I'd tried installing the version that came with 10.3 with the intent of running Software Update and pulling it up to the latest version (I still have the 10.3 disks here), but it didn't work. I also tried installing the version that came with 10.5 the last time I was at my parents', but it claimed that it couldn't find a copy of iPhoto to upgrade. I'm sure with iLife, that wouldn't be a problem, but I haven't purchased iLife.
    I was afraid the only place to find Image Capture would be on the installer disk. I'll pester my parents for it the next time I'm down there.
    Thanks for your help,
    Greg

  • Image capture and iphoto show no photos from iPod Touch

    I am running OS 10.6.8 on my iMac and using iPhoto 7 and image capture. When I connect my iPod Touch (3rd generation) to my computer, both applications show my ipod as being connected, as does iTunes, but neither of the applications show the photos that are on my iPod. Normally I would be able to download them from my iPod, but they are not showing them, though they are clearly on my iPod.
    What has changed? This has been working fine until now. Was it because of the iOS update?

    You said " my iPod Touch (3rd generation) ". The 3G does not have a camera and thus does not have a Camera Roll album. It does have an album titled "
    Try:
    iOS: Unable to import photos to computerSaved Photos".

  • HELP! I lost my photos between image capture and iPhoto

    I move photos from my iPhone to iPhoto with image capture. image capture is set to delete the photos after importing them. I just imported some important photos and after image capture deleted them from my phone I saw a message from iPhoto that there was a problem writing to my library and that the images were not imported. Now they are not in iPhoto and not on my iPhone! Where are they? can I get them back? are they gone for good?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That's the one primary reason iPhoto should never be setup to delete the photos after import. Too many incomplete or bad imports and complete deletions. Always have the phone do the deletions.
    You would have to ask in the iPhone forum for any way to recover deleted photos. If the iPhone can be viewed on the Desktop as an external HD like some cameras you might be able to use a file recovery application designed for memory cards like MediaRECOVER. They probably will have a better idea in the iPhone forum.

  • Image Capture and iPhoto automatically launch...

    Hi:
    I am using OS X Yosemite. Whenever I connect a camera to my computer, iPhoto automatically launches. Since I don't use iPhoto, I have to close it before I can download my photos to Adobe Lightroom. in iPhoto—> Preferences—> General I have it set to "Connecting Camera opens: No application"  But iPhoto launches anyway. How can I make it stop?
    Whenever I connect an iOS device to my computer, the app Image Capture launches. I don't need this to happen either. How can I make it stop?
    Thanks!
    Janet

    Open image caputre. Plug in the device. Select the device in the list. Open the icon at the bottom of the window and set the device to open no application or choose the application you want it to open.
    Repeat for all devices you plug in to that computer.

  • Image Capture and iphoto

    I set image capture to download photos from my iphone. The setting in icapture said to delete photos after capturing. The download started as ususl deleting photos and videos but when the iphoto screen came on the message sais no photos were captured because there is no room in the iphoto library. Now the images are deleted from my camera and they have not been captured to iphoto. Is there a way to retrieve these images, and why is there no warning that the library is too full before deleting the images?

    1 - it is strongly recommended that you never have a computer automatically delete photos - things do go wrong and as you just found out when they do you lose things unless you have a backup (in this case the photos remaining on your iPhone)
    2 - Is your drive really too full? How much free space do you have on your disk? You need to have a minimum of 10GB at all times for the system to operate properly  --  if you have less than that then your first priority is to fix that - either delete un-needed files, get an external hard drive for large files like the iPhoto library or install a larger hard drive in your computer

  • Image Capture will not recognize my camera or iPhone4?

    After recent updates the image capture now reads "no camera or scanner selected" when my iPhone 4 and/or digital camera are connected. Why? Help? Anyone else with this problem...please have a solution!

    Rebecca have you had the chance to restart or do a SMC reset? If not then please do see if that helps.
    SMC RESET

  • Whenever I'm trying to import videos into Image Capture and iPhoto, it doesn't allow me to?

    I've been trying to do this for about an hour now. And it keeps on bailing on me!! I'm super stressed right now and I'm about to rip out my hair.
    It keeps on importing my images sure fine, but whenever I try to import a video (all of my images are about a minute, three to four minutes and one close to ten minutes) it says there something wrong with it and it can't import! Grrrr!
    Please write ASAP, I realy need someones help!! xxx

    Unfortunately, I don't have an iPod, so I'm not familiar with how it works. However, have you tried syncing it - does it wind up in iTunes?
    As for iPhoto, you should be able to copy or export the files to whatever location you want: your Documents folder or your desktop for instance. If you have them in iMovie, you will need to work on your project there (iMovie is a video editor, not a filing system or player) and then export/share it. If you export it, you can save it to any location you want as well.

  • 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:

    OS X 10.7.4, iphoto 11, iphone 4, ios 5.xx
    -I have photos on iphone that are not in photo stream, and videos as well, that I want to download
    -image capture does not recognize the iphone as a device when I launch it. It does not autostart even though I set the IMAGECAPTURE option in iPhoto preferences
    -itunes does see the phone

    Something changed with the latest iPhoto/iTunes combination

    Found the resolution in another thread. Have to go to iPhoto preferences and set Image Capture to open when a camera is plugged in. Then it should auto start.

    I am having the identical error. I have an iPhone 4 and 2 macs, the phone is managed from an old G5 PowerMac and images are saved from it to Aperture for photos and videos go to iPhoto 11. The Mac is running 10.5.8. I last appear to have downloaded movies from iPhone4 to mac in December , the oldest video being 10 Dec 2010.
    This week I was going to back up a handful of images on the phone but after connecting it to the mac, something that happens several times a week to sync to itunes for app updates etc I found it did not list for import options in iPhoto nor in Aperture. I looked at Image Capture and that tells me no device is connected.
    I have no problems taking images off the phone using a MBP which has 10.6 and Image Capture recognises the phone.
    I have tried the following after reading through all the discussions on the topic of which there appear to be many with this problem.
    Restore the iphone then update settings from archive. - did nothing
    Closed apps reconnected iPhone started apps...  - did nothing
    Switched phone off then on then connected to mac then opened apps - nothing
    This Mac seems happy to communicate t othe phone though iTunes but appears to have lost the way when it comes to getting images off the iPhone. Any help keenly appreciated.
    regards

  • Image Capture doesn't recognize iPhone and Camera anymore

    Image Capture doesn't recognize my iPhone or my Fujifilm camera. I am pretty sure this happened after updating to Safari 4.0.2 and having to restart which I did today. Yesterday I was able to to browse through my devices.

    I'm adding that iTunes has no problem reading the iPhone.
