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 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.

Stop default photo app opening when iPhone 3GS plugged in

I'm new to iPhone, but not to Macs. When I plug my 3GS into my MacBook, it auto-opens both iTunes and Canon Image Browser (which years ago I set as my default image capture app, because I prefer it to iPhoto). I don't want Image Browser to open every time I plug the phone in - how can I stop it doing this?

Your default app for importing photos from a digital camera will launch automatically when any digital camera is connected to your Mac. Your iPhone is detected as a digital camera when connected if there are any photos in the camera roll, which should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
I use iPhoto for photo storage and after the import process is complete, I delete all photos from the camera roll. If I want any of the recently imported photos available on my iPhone for viewing, I add the photos to an existing iPhoto album that I've selected to be transferred to my iPhone under the Photos tab for my iPhone sync preferences, or create a new iPhoto album followed by a sync.
To prevent your chosen photo importing app from launching automatically when any digital camera is connected to your Mac including when connecting your iPhone when there are photos in the camera roll, launch the Image Capture application located in your Applications folder. Go to Image Capture preferences and select none or no application for automatically launch when a digital camera is connected.

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.

How do I transfer apps FROM my iPhone 3gs TO my itunes library

I want to sync the apps from my iphone to my itunes library.
When I check the 'sync apps' box in the apps tab in itunes I get a warning that all of the apps on my iphone (3GS, just updated to iOS4)- about 50 apps - are going to be replaced by the apps in the library - 2 apps.
Is there a way for me to transfer the apps from my iphone to the itunes library so when I sync them I wont lose all my apps?

connect your device and right-click or control-click your iPod in the iTunes Source list, then choose +transfer purchases+ from the shortcut menu that appears.

HT1947 Does anyone else have my problem with atv3? Plays films in iTunes without any problems but on music every time I use the remote app on my iPhone 3GS it stops playing after around 5 tracks in. Anyone having this problem?

Does anyone share my problem with atv3 I can play films through iTunes without any problems. When I start playing music using the remote app on my iPhone 3GS after around 5 tracks in it just stops playing and seems to lose my connection. Hoping this is human error on my part?

I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

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.

Would this matter then? can you not update the 3g to the lastest software?

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:

Apps work for the ios that you are on. Not the phone unless it is specific to the hardware/software capabilities of a specific iphone.

Iphoto & Image Capture doesn't see Iphone, Itunes Does?

Iphoto & Image Capture doesn't see Iphone, Itunes Does.

It's generally recommended not to use a USB hub with the iPhone. I've used one with no problems but many have reported solving sync problems just by eliminating the hub and plugging directly into a USB2.0 port.
I'm sure.
The trouble is that there are too many bits of hardware that are recommended not to use a hub with. I have a PhoneValet (which won't work at all with a hub) and a set of first generation Harman-Kardon speakers (ditto). Then I need a USB port to plug the hub itself into, and that's my three USB ports used up.

How do i move apps from my iPhone 3GS to my new 4S?

how do i move apps from my iPhone 3GS to my new 4S?

To backup your phone (3GS), plug it to your PC, when Itunes opens up, you will see your phone on the left hand side, right click on it and do a back up.
When you set up your 4S it will ask if you want to restore as new/ from a backup from Itunes or icloud. Select restore from back up then plug your phone to your PC and then let Itunes back up your phone.

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?

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.
