Image capture bug

I'm using Image Capture with a Canon S400. Image Capture was set to download all photos automatically and delete after.
I've never had much luck with this approach. Unfortunately I'm a slow learner and only now have vowed never to use the app again. Basically, it downloads the first couple photos okay and then speeds through the rest of the photos at light speed (clearly, something has went wrong.) Indeed, the rest of the photos cannot be read by any application- they are invalid JPEG files even though they are about the right size. And they've been removed from the card and are gone forever. I'm using the factory USB cable from the camera the the keyboard USB port. Hardware is either a MacBook or intel iMac. Both have the same problem.
What gives? One might be inclined to point to the camera or CF card but in fact both are fine. I can use a CF card reader fine with my iMac, and everything also works great with my Windows XP box.
At the absolute least, Image Capture should be updated to NOT delete photos from the camera unless the resulting JPEG passes some type of minimal validity check. OS X is instantly aware of the fact that the image files are corrupted (no thumbnail can be generated) so it shouldn't be that difficult.
Sigh. I'm really starting to long for the stability of my iBook. I defended Apple as long as I could but with the MacBook in for repairs right now and various stability issues running OS X on the Intel platform, I realize now that there really are some serious issues right now.

I'm having a similar bug on an eMac with the same camera (plus an Olympus E-300). Yes, dragging the jpegs off the card works, but you lose the thumbnails that Image Capture creates. I've researched previous questions here, and believe I've found all the preference files (that I have trashed several times over). No luck - I keep having this problem.
I really don't want to give up on Image Capture, since it retrieves camera information, too. But this is really an irritating bug!
Any suggestions..?

  • Extremely nasty Image Capture bug deletes video with import to Aperture

    Image Capture allows one to specify Aperture as a target.
    Nice feature, but Aperture can't handle video.
    So what happens when the images you choose to import contain a video, and you've set IC to delete after import?
    The videos are deleted, but not imported. If you were to import directly to Aperture they would be saved to the desktop by Aperture, but with this route they are deleted.
    Lethal bug.

    The moral of the story:
    Never let your computer delete data before you know that the transfer has worked. Ever.
    Don't let Image Capture, Aperture (oh, and btw, Aperture 3 does support video) or iPhoto delete pics. Ever.
    After you have transferred the material to your Mac you can simply reformat the card with your camera - once you've verified the transfer. Reformatting the card with your camera is much faster - takes seconds - and has the added advantage of refreshing the directory structure on the card and so helping to avoid problems in the future.
    And finally, given that both iPhoto and Aperture can import directly from your camera, why are you using Image Capture?

    After losing some images on my first attempts with iPhoto I quit using it. The whole program made no sense to me. I've been transferring images to the desktop with Image Capture, editing with Gimp, and storing in an image folder. I was hoping to give iPhoto another try and lost a couple of images... now trying to figure out where these things go. I'll try to import directly from the camera now that you've made me aware of the possibility. Any idea about this cache in the meantime? Maybe I'll find all the images I lost.

  • Yosemite 10.10.3 Bug in Image Capture - no automatic delete

    After updating Yosemite to 10.10.3, the "Delete After Import" feature in Image Capture no longer works.  The images import properly, but they do not automatically delete (even though the box is checked).  You are then able to manually delete the images, but one image is always permanently un-deletable (I was able to replicate this bug by importing images from my iPhone, iPad and Canon Digital Camera).

    Don't think it's a bug, just tried with my iPhone 4s and image capture imported pictures followed by deleting same from phone - same with manual delete, all removed if all selected. Think the clue to your issue might be the fact you can not manually delete a particular picture, is it protected or could it be corrupt?
    Try deleting the troublesome picture via the iDevice and then see what happens when you attempt importing others, if you have the same issue but on another picture you might try restoring the iDevice (but that will not resolve the problem if it also happens with the camera!).
    I might just be lucky, wait and see if others report similar problem after 10.10.3 upgrade.

  • Warning: iOS 8 Resized My Images When Exporting Via Image Capture

    I have an iPad Air and I take lots of pictures. I installed iOS 8 last night. I don't like the lack of a Photo Stream and a Camera Roll, but I am willing to try new things, so I decided to clear out all the images from my iPad and start from scratch. Unfortunately, I've run into a pretty bad reproducible bug.
    First I copied all the Moments (i.e. Camera Roll) Photos on the iPad to my Mac using the Image Capture app. I've been doing this for years. Everything came out fine with those photos.
    I also had several iCloud shared albums so I decided to start over with them as well. Hmm, how to copy them over to my Mac? I tapped one picture and tapped "Share -> Save Image". OK that worked! So to save some time I tapped "Select" and then tapped all the pictures in the folder. Once again I tapped "Share -> Save 20 Images". Worked fine. Deleted the shared album. Did this with five other albums. Now everything is clean and I can start figuring out how this works from scratch.
    OR SO I THOUGHT. Once the pictures were on my Mac, I realized the pictures I exported one at a time were fine, but the ones I exported in groups came out at odd low resolutions - 257 x 342, 256 x 384, 268 x 332, instead of the full resolution of the original pictures.
    Luckily I had copies of all these pictures backed up, but this is not appropriate behavior. There was no warning that the pictures would be saved at a lower resolution. I'm not even sure the Photos app "meant" to do this. Why weren't the full sized images exported? Has anyone else had this experience? Could someone check and see if this is happening on their iPad?

    The photos in this thread are the same exported files that are in the slideshow. As you advance through the slideshow(try looking at the shadows to right of the subject and his sunglasses), you'll see a change in tone/saturation that, however subtle, is quite alarming for a consistent workflow.
    I always work with calibrated display profiles, and was told by Aperture Pro support to try the export with a standard, device independent profile to rule out a display profile related issue. I told them on the phone that while I'd try it, that would not be a viable solution long term for me, or any other professional, as different screens need to have independent, calibrated profiles for a consistent working environment.
    That said, regardless of the display profile(I tried multiple scenarios - including calibrated profiles), the exported file is always the same on the same machines - and as I said before, distinctly unique to each machine. The display profile should have nothing to do with it anyways, as that is simple a translation of the the 'static' data onto a specific screen. I'm not saying the screens look different to me, I'm saying that the exported files are different when viewed together on any one screen.
    These are all fresh installs of the same download; no settings in the software have been changed, except for what I've detailed above. The processing of the color/export should be the same from the same file in the same library with the same adjustments and the same software settings, but it's not.
    Can anyone try this same test in another environment? Or does anyone know how Aperture might leverage hardware perhaps in it's processing of color?

  • 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.

  • How can I enable Lightroom as a destination in Image Capture?

    Having recently swapped my old iMac for a new Retina MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.1, I seem to be having some difficulty getting the new Mac to open Lightroom 5.3 when a memory card is inserted either into the SD card slot on the laptop itself or into the card reader of the monitor.  I have no problems importing pictures into Lightroom if I open Import myself but I find it odd that cannot enable the same function as I had on the old iMac.  Within the Lightroom preferences I have the option "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected" enabled.  However, what I find really odd is that my old stalwart application for sorting this sort of stuff out, Image Capture, does not seem to recognise Lightroom.  When I open this application with a memory card inserted I am unable to select Lightroom as an "Other" option from the "Import to" menu.  Please see the screenshot below.  This seems rather strange so I'm wondering if anyone might know what is causing Image Capture to dislike my fresh install of Lightroom (via Creative Cloud).  While this isn't a major problem, it is starting to bug me a bit.

    I'd guess it could be a while before for Adobe "addresses this issue" (if ever they do..), but I could be wrong. If you want to encourage them, here is where:
    Recently active topics in Photoshop Family about Photoshop Lightroom
    If you do make a feature request there, I recommend:
    * Make sure you demonstrate that you understand the current facilities that are in place to do what you want to do, and explain why it's not adequate (or optimal) as is.
    PS - Lr only registers lrcat file type - not an oversight..

  • Canon 400D RAW & Image Capture & raw image update - Fail

    I got my macbook pro about a month ago and of course was anxious to try out my camera ( Canon EOS 400D). I'm using RAW images. It worked fine. No problems.
    But then comes the update a week or two ago. Of course I download it, it's an update... What could go wrong . Then, today, I connect my camera again to download some photos I took. Image capture launches as usual, but what happens when I try to download (some/all, no difference) the photos from the camera? Nothing! The program hangs up and Force Quite Applications says (Not Responding).
    Well, I'd try with iPhoto, but no success, because the camera is no longer recognized. I reboot the computer and try again. Yippee! The camera is recognized again, but there is no success with downloading the images. Actually iPhoto doesn't even show the images in camera.
    What to do? Anyone's got the same problem? Can I 'downdate' the system to get rid of the latest RAW update?
    I do not own a memorycard reader because this method has been working always until today.
    Oh yes, the camera is ok, because it works flawlessly with Windows XP and Vista.

    I use Adobe Bridge + Photoshop to process RAW images. I really don't think the only answer to get by this problem is to buy more equipment, it's not the right way. There's a bug in OS and it should be fixed .
    Anyway, I'm going to get the card reader, but I'm still waiting for this problem to be fixed some time in the future. If not for me, but for the new Apple users that have got used to connecting the USB-cord between computer and camera and everything works fluenty after that.

  • Image Capture won't scan: Canon MP 610

    Hello,
    I experience a strange bug in Image Capture which I use together with my Canon MP610. When I put a document on the scanner Image Capture will show a preview and then scan the document. This works fine.
    Sometimes I need to make some manual corrections by using the button "show details" and then resize the scan area after the program has analyzed the picture. After I made the corrections I hit the "Scan" button but Image Capture will return with the message "Scanner has reported an error" and "An error occurred during scanning".
    I first thought it might be a driver related problem as I recently updated the drivers from the Canon site. Before I installed the Canon drivers and used the OSX drivers all worked fine.
    So I removed all drivers from Canon and hoped the Mac would use the old drivers again. That didn't work either as the system couldn't seem to find any usable driver anymore. I reinstalled the Canon drivers and all works well again except for the Image Capture program.
    As long as I don't use the "Show Details" button the scanner works just fine. But as soon as I make some manual corrections the scanner error message pops up and the scanner won't scan the adjusted preview.
    So I know for sure the Mac sees the scanner and can control it as the scanner does deliver the images to the folder I specify, but I can't do any manual corrections.
    I already deleted the file "com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist" but that didn't solve the problem. It appears to be a bug in the program itself or a conflict between the app and the drivers from Canon. How can I revert back to the drivers that my Mac used before I installed the Canon drivers?
    Thanks!

    Thanks PAHU that were a lot of drivers for sure in your link and I installed those. Unfortunately, nor the driver package nor the ICA driver did solve my problem. I'm beginning to think it might just be a bug within Image Capture, although Image Capture is stating the scanner is reporting an error. Strange thing is that Image Capture will work fine as long as I hide the details pane.
    It seems to be an isolated problem too as I can't find any other subject on this on the net. I see more people having trouble to scan images with Image Capture but that's mostly related to not selecting the right part of the preview. I will see if I can reinstall Image Capture from the OSX dvd.

  • Image capture no longer works? ios5/10.7.2

    Hi
    I can no longer see my photos in image capture. This is iOS5/Mac OS X 10.7.2. It just shows up blank.
    I really do not want to use iPhoto (dislike strongly, as it manages photos for me, which I do not want to do), and I also do not want to use iCloud, due to various bugs reported by me a few days ago with calendaring.
    I strictly want to use image capture to pull the photos off my phone.
    Please assist.

    I've managed to get it working after trying the following:
    1. Used Disk Utility to repair permissions on my main drive
    2. In Terminal used the comand "sudo mdutil -v -i on /"
    That tells spotlight to turn indexing on for that drive.
    3. Did a restart
    I'd recommend trying the permissions and a restart first and if that doesn't help then try the command line fix.
    The first time I ran it without -v so got no feedback on what it was doing. Stopping it and trying to do it again gave me the message "Error: Index is already changing state.  Please try again in a moment." After the restart it now says:
    Indexing enabled.
              Scan base time: 2011-10-19 07:40:10 +0100 (60 seconds ago), reasoning: 'scan not required - avoided catchup scan'
    Now mail is back to how it was before the 10.7.2 update, happy days.

  • After 3.1.3 iphoto & image capture don't detect iphone as camera device.

    I have installed the recent update 3.1.3 on my iphone 3GS.
    My iphoto (or image capture) no longer detects the iphone as a camera...
    and will not automatically bring up the import option.
    I can't get photos and video from the iphone to the computer...
    The iphone seems to sync with itunes without any problem... it's just the image capture.

I have restarted everything... I have swapped the connection cords...
    it has to be a bug in the update... everything was working fine before the update.

  • Image Capture won't capture (Canon 9950F)

    I have recently bought a Canon 9950F for a specific project. It replaced an Epson Perfection 2450 Photo which worked perfectly but was limited in the size (area) of its film scanning capabilities. I have used a range of software including VueScan and Silverfast v6.6 but the most direct scanning tool I have used is Image Capture. The feature that I really like with Image Capture is the ability to select multiple scan areas in the 'preview' and have Image Capture scan them as a batch. The project I am working on (family archive photos, documents and film negs of various formats) really makes the most of this feature.
    I have moved over to the Canon 9950F and immediately noticed that Image Capture does not see the film scanning feature of the 9950F. It scans documents exactly as the Epson 2450 did but does not offer the option of scanning film or transparency, only documents on the flatbed. I have updated the Canon Drivers and the scanner is visible under System Prefs > Printers. VueScan and SilverFast recognise the scanner (but neither have the selectable scanning feature that Image Capture offers) and Photoshop Elements 10 also sees the scanner under File > Import.
    Has anyone experienced this problem and, if so, is there a 'work around'.
    Many thanks.

  • Image Capture won't scan to Photoshop

    I just downloaded Lion (10.7.2) and everything works fine, except ...
    When scanning through Image Capture, it won't open the scanned images in Photoshop (CS4) when set to do so. It will open in any other program I try (Preview, Illustrator, etc ...) but not Photoshop.
    When I scan an image with PS set as the "scan to" app, Photoshop will open, but it doesn't open the image.  Instead, Image Capture opens a "scan results" dialog box with the name of the image and a magnifying glass icon that shows me that the image has been saved in my "pictures" folder.  I'm clearly choosing the PS app, and not the PS folder in Image Capture, but for some reason it doesn't know what to do with the image when it gets there. Again, the PS app OPENS, but the image doesn't. It just dumps it in the "pictures" folder.
    By all accounts, Photoshop seems to be working properly. I can click on a scanned image and open it with Photoshop manually. Scanned images just won't open in PS automatically through Image Capture like they used to before I upgraded to Lion.
    I tried rebooting and repairing permissions just for the heck of it, but those did nothing.  Image Capture has no problem recognizing my scanner (Brother MFC 6490CW) and I made sure to download the latest driver for it. 
    I'm really at a loss as to why this is occuring.  If anyone has a theory, I'd love to hear it.  Scanning stuff into Photoshop is my job basically, so this is driving me crazy.

    I can duplicate that behaviour, best file it as a Bug with Apple if you have a Developer ID ?
    http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/
    I will file it also and see what response I get.
    BR filed: I note that in testing this if I set the Import To selector to Preview, Mail and iPhoto it behaves as expected so it's possible this is an Adobe issue not an Apple one. Might be worth looking in their support forums to see if anyone elase has this and has found a work-around.

  • OS X LION Issues with Full-Screen; iPhoto, Image Capture & Mail

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing un-Apple-like issues (bugs) with Lion in Full-Screen mode.
    For example - iPhoto doesn't seem to like Full-Screen mode. If iPhoto is open and I connect a camera, for which I prefer Image Capture to retrieve my pics... Image Capture opens 'behind' the full-screen iPhoto, but I can't get to it. Image Capture shows as open on the menu bar in iPhoto's full-screen mode. If I go to the desktop (where it should be opening) Image Capture isn't 'on top' and clicking it takes me back to iPhoto full-screen
    Similarly, if I get mail and return to the desktop (the only way to see the dock) and I click on the 'Mail' app icon - I am catapulted into Image Capture... or iPhoto. Returning to the Desktop to click the Mail icon from the dock... takes me to Image Capture... or iPhoto. The 3rd try takes me to the Mail.app which is usually always open and in full-screen mode.
    While I'm complaining about bugs, I'd like to mention that I am fully dismayed by the loss of control in full-screen mode when using apps such as Mail or iPhoto. The Mail app opens an email to edit (such as a reply) but you can't access any other mail docs to 'cut and paste' info from. I can only click SEND or CANCEL.
    What if I don't want to CANCEL? I just want to go to another email and cut a piece to paste.. I have to exit full-screen mode which allows me to open two email documents at once, then cut and paste. Essentially Mail in Full-Screen is only a reader... not a work area. I can only access the document I have open, since it greys out the Message Viewer. You can't click on the message viewer nor access any of the features of Mail.app. You can only write your email and either Cancel or Send. Where is the 'hold on a second while I go cut and paste'? I don't want to cancel.
    Can't seem to use Safari since I'm constantly three-finger swiping it away. My cursor hovers over a text field and suddenly it's zooming in and locks text input. I have to iPhone-like swipe to expand to exit this inadvertent partial (very slight) zoom. Sometimes the zoom is so partial that I can't figure out what's going on until I just exit full-screen mode, close the window and start over.
    Seems like I'm starting over and over and over... just to do simple things. Inadvertent zooming, inadvertent 3-finger returning to Desktop, inadvertent changing apps... ugh.
    I'm willing to let go of the old and embrace the new future but so far it's been pretty uncomfortable for me to constantly monitor my overly sensitive trackpad gesturing combined with constant bugs and glitches. I'll save complaining about iPhoto's over-simplification (apparently for dummies) like the new Edit menu, Export menu, etc.. since it's more iLife than Lion related. Rate Lion: 2 out of 5 stars for ease of use & features complicated by unrefined software issues.

    I've tried follwoing these instructions but I have an issue with

  • Apple's Image Capture deleted all my iPhone Videos

    I found out that because I have been using Image Capture to import all my pictures and videos from my 3GS to Aperture 3, with the setting "delete after finishing import" I have actually LOST ALL THE VIDEOS I took in the last months. Including those of family I only get to see once a year.
    What happens is that it does NOT import the Video to Aperture 3, yet deletes it from my iPhone.
    Is there any way I can recover these lost pictures? And how can a bug this serious still be around? This is AWFUL!
    I have tried this: http://tech.kateva.org/2010/03/image-capture-import-to-aperture.html (the private/tmp folder). I also thought of restoring my iPhone to the date I still had the video's in my Camera roll, but sadly I did not connect my Time Machine drive to my Mac in those days so no iPhone backups are available.
    Please help if you can, it would make me so happy to find back these videos.

    I don't post alot on these forums but when I went searching for a solution to this problem and found this, I felt compelled.
    I, too, tried to use Image Capture to import into Aperture 3 after migrating from iPhoto. I used IC because it offers the very handing "Delete After Import" feature that Aperture does not. After my first import, and selecting that delete option, I closed Aperture without verifying the import. The second import session I did look to verify and discovered an empty project called Imported Project and Imported Project(1). I tried to search the entire Aperture Library, but all photos and videos of my child from those two import sessions are gone. Poof.
    Apple products have had some bugs in the past, but this is the first that causes loss of important data.

  • 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.
