Image Capture can't save to Network Server

I have a Canon MX860 connected via wireless to my network. I'm running 10.6.6 on the mac. When I scan an image, Image Capture only allows to save to the local hard drive. It shows my Network Server (in the Scan To | Other ... dialog box), but it's grayed out, so I can't select it to save to. Is there a way to save to a network drive?

I am having this same problem when I try to upload photos from my camera. To add to the mystery, Image Capture will allow me to import from a camera and save to my NAS using my MacBook Pro, but not with my iMac - even though both are running the latest OS X. Has anyone figured out why this happens? I spent an hour on the phone with Apple tech support and they couldn't figure it out.

Image Capture can't see Epson v700 scanner in Lion:

Never Mind. Fixed It. I re-installed the scanner software (dated July 2009) and everything is fine now. I don't know how Drivers from before Lion, and the same version # as I was already using, could fix this... but it did. Maybe someone in the same boat will find it useful. The drivers are here : http://www.epson.co.uk/Store/Scanners/Epson-Perfection-V700-Photo/Drivers-Suppor t?supportLandingPage=true
Hello
I've recently upgraded my OS X 10.6.8 to Lion... currently at 10.7.4. I have an Epson v700 scanner, connected via USB, that works with the Epson Scan application and with VueScan. But Image Capture can't see it. I installed the ICA driver update from Epson. I've done the OS X Software Update. No help so far.
I can't install the Epson v700 in the Print & Scan preferences pane as well because it just seem to "see" any scanners. I had earlier deleted the scanner because an Epson KB article had said to delete the scanner, then do the OS X Software Update, then to re-add the scanner. But the scanner is not being seen by OS X directly so I can't add it back... though Epson Scan and VueScan seem to be able to scan. Very odd.
Any other suggestions?
Yes, I've restarted the system... though I may try it again.
Thanks...

Canon Australia is hosting a scanner driver for 10.8 and MP Navigator v3.0.5 for your MP180. Install the scanner driver first and then MP Navigator.
Note that Canon is not hosting an ICA driver for this model, which is used by Image Capture and Preview. So this would explain the lack of the scanner entry in the KB article that Clinton has mentioned (the vendors make the drivers - Apple just hosts them).

Can't save if network connection is dropped by server

Lab is running 9.2.2 on Imacs and using a 10.4.3 server setup with MacManger. My problem is that occasionally the imacs will loose their connection to the server which in turn the user is unable to save their work anywhere. Is there something I can do so that if in the middle of what they are working on they lose their connection to the server they can still save.
I have them set to regular finder in mac manager, I have all the offline settings turned on. I have even gone so far as to turn the finder to restricted so that I can designate a folder on the startup disk for their use yet still no luck. Any help would be great.

Several things you should investigate: 1. Network switches that have spanning tree set ON, it seems Appletalk prefers this OFF. 2. Check TCP/IP settings in server and workstations for MTU setting. On my network I set it lower than the default 1500. 3. Check on server to make sure you do not have an auto disconnect set for idle users that might be so short they get disconnected if they take a long time before a save. 4. Hardware! It might not be a server software issue at all, as mentioned in first 3 items.

Image Capture not detecting Scanner over Network

I have an Epson Workforce 610 which is installed as a network printer (wired ethernet) in my Home Office. OSX Mavericks will find and load the ppropriate drivers for the printer, and printing is fine. However Image Capture does not show the scanner portion in its window. Devices read as (0).
If I connect via USB cable the Scanner shows up with no problem. Disconnect USB no scanner.
Has anyone got a workforce 610 successfully scanning over ethernet?
Thank,

On the network computer, does System Preferences save it as a Shared Printer?
The reason I ask is that I can't.
I can select and save as follows:
But when I re-open System Preferences, the system has de-selected it:

Image Capture can no longer download from iPhone

For some time - I think since Yosemite upgrade, I can no longer download photos from my iPhone 5. (I do not use iCloud, and there are some other issues with iPhoto so I haven't tried. iTunes can still perform backup.)
Back when, I was using Google Picasa as main tool to download from iOS to MacOS. For some time, maybe since a certain iOS (8?) update, Picasa would simply begin a download, and spill out an error upon the simplest job - like a single picture. As such, I went back to Apple's Image Capture and found it still worked. Until recently, that is. Now, Image Capture simply starts an "Import", shows a progress bar, but makes no progress whatsoever. When I retried Picasa, Picasa does the same, i.e., the error message is no more, replaced by a no-progress progress bar.
I usually only perform import when iPhone is filling up. So this is a devastating problem. Please help.

Hello sillyvalley,
Sorry to hear that you are having issues with importing photos to your Mac. Now I am not sure what the communication problem is with Picasa, I can say that there are other alternatives to import your photos in, like using iPhoto or Image Capture. Take a look at the article below for more information.

3ds max can't save to lion server, 3ds max can't save to lion server

I know there have been many discussions in the past few weeks.
Please if any one can help me with a sollution or work around I will appreciate it.
We have a mac mini server and both mac's and windows in the office.
All work perfect except 3ds max can't save or open files from the lion server. All other programs work perfect from the windows machines to the lion server.
Anybody found a solution yet?

No I'm still going around in circles. It's infuriating, everything else is working fine, I just have this one issue with the .max files.
I phoned Apple yesteday, hoping that they may help as we have an AppleCare Protection Plan that supposedly has software support. They have not managed to help in anyway, and have suggested that I take out some kind of cross platform support at extra cost, although they may not be able to help either.
They are saying it is third party software vendors responsibility to sort out a fix, which annoys me, as we haven't changed the third party software, we've upgraded the server and now our workflow is broken. I have read of other people that have contacted Autodesk about the issue and they have said that the problem is down to Apple using their own SMB in Lion Server, but haven't mentioned any kind of fix/workaround.
I don't know whether switching the servers SMB off and running SMBup may help. It's not something I really want to do, but I'm really running out of ideas.

What jpeg compression does image capture use to save an image

I am about to scan colour positive slides from many years ago, using image capture and a scanner (Epson 2450 photo). Can anyone tell me what jpeg compression is used when the scan is saved to disk? Further, is there any way to alter the quality of suh compression, from say, medium, to highest?

You might be able to find it when you export it from Image Capture.

IPhoto 9.6 and Image Capture can't import from iPhoto, don't recognize devices or SD cards

I'm running the latest version of Yosemite on a recent MacBook Pro, with iPhoto 9.6. I recently noted when trying to import photos from an SD card that iPhoto didn't recognize the SD card automatically, and ask whether I wanted to import my photos. I was able to manually tell iPhoto to import, and find the photos by navigating to the SD card on the desktop and finding the right directories on it, so I figured it was just a hiccup and went on with my life. But now I've hooked up my iPhone 5S via USB to my Mac, and iPhoto neither recognizes that it's connected nor imports photos from it. Image Capture doesn't recognize it, either.
A few further notes:
- I'm running iOS 8.1 on the phone.
- My phone is unlocked when I'm trying to import photos.
- iTunes 12 can recognize and connect with the phone just fine.
Anyone having similar problems? Is there any help for this issue? Thanks much!

Hello Nathan,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Image Capture does not save a scanned file

Image Capture using an HP Photosmart C3180 to scan a document does so but does not save the file to the Desktop.
A pop-up windows displays Scan Results but still not file
O/S Lion, Image Capture Version 6.1 (440).
Used to work, what is the deal?

As for the scanner - so is this new one wireless? When I hooked up my Epson All-in-One, I had to install it via USB first before I could install the wireless (per their instructions). With Snow Leopard, I simply installed the driver and it covered and recognized both the print and scan function - not so in Lion; I had to go through hoops with the scanner part and it finally showed up as a separate unit. I thought that is silly, but - as long as it works..... I'm trying to think of possibilities since I'm about out of ideas, so you might want to consider that (if it applies). The other troubleshooting suggestions usually include redoing the "add" function after a reboot.
As for Image Capture, I am out of ideas. FWIW, I never use it - in my workflow, there is no need for it. Not sure if this would have an impact, but make sure that you choose Image Capture in the CDs&DVDs Preference Pane (mine is set to ignore or ask purposely):
If that does not work, I'd suggest reinstalling the OS over the top of what you have.

Image capture, can't scan

I have an epson 2480 scanner that worked with image capture in tiger. After upgrading to Leopard, it seems that I can no longer scan. Image Capture speaks to the scanner (the scanner will scan a preview when I launch image capture), but the scan button is greyed out.
This ***** because I would use image capture to share the scanner with other users in my group. Now, the only way to scan is to sit at the computer that is hooked up to the scanner and scan there using the epson scan software.
If anyone has any ideas as to how to re-enable image capture scanning, I would love to hear it.
On another note, image capture does not work on any local account on the machine, whether admin or standard.
Thanks for any advice...

As far as sharing the scanner using image capture, browse to the scanner (devices > browse devices), then click on the sharing button on the bottom left of the window...You can share the device from there, and add a password if necessary...
Cool when it works!
However, you cannot have more than 1 computer at a time using the scanner, so if another person has image capture open (but isn't using the scanner), you need to make them quit....
Still, this works pretty well (well, at least it did work pretty well
BTW-I thought I had installed the latest driver, but I will try again and see.....

Image Capture can't delete items on iPhone, shows 'locked' graphic

I can't seem to press the 'delete' button or use the delete key in Image Capture. When selecting the images, it remains greyed-out. There is also a 'lock' image next to all the files. How can I delete these?

I had this problem, too. What worked for me was going into Settings > iCloud > Photos on my iPhone, and turning off iCloud Photo Library.

Image Capture can't see scanner

I upgraded to Mountain Lion and while the printer function of my Canon MP 180 is working, the scanner is not working now. Image Capture doesn't see the scanner. Following advice on this forum, I deleted the printer in system preferences > print&scan and the reinstalled it a few times. I also downloaded the 2 available (but old) drivers from Canon. Still nothing works. Can anyone help?

I cloud calendar says can't save due to server error?

How do I fix this. I am trying to update I-cloud calendar on my windows vista computer and it says can't save server error.
I also have a co-worker that updates the calendar on her phone but no one can see her changes?

Hi,
The issue is related to the temporary files when we using the Word 2013.
Look for anything ending with a TMP file extension or anything that starts with a dollar sign ($). Anything with the TMP extension can be deleted outright; anything that starts with a dollar sign can be deleted if it appears that the file is simply a Word
document with the dollar sign added as a prefix. You can find more information about Word's use of temporary files at this page in the Knowledge Base:

How can I save/backup my server configuration ?

Hi,
I'm new to OS X Server.
I have my server configured and running as planed.
But how can I save the server configurations?
So in case I have to reinstall, I can just reload the configuration.
Thanks,
JO

You can also run the the Server Assistant (/Applications/Server/Server Assistant.app) and save the resulting configuration to a file or as a directory record.
If that file is present at the root level of any local drive, or present on a directory server, when a new copy of Mac OS X Server boots up for the first time (Think USB pen drive) it will automatically configure itself and reboot.
This can be very useful if you need to setup many servers at once. However, you are only storing the serial number and a few basic settings (time zone, which services to turn on by default, etc) so this feature isn't really all that great for disaster recovery purposes. It can, however, save you a few minutes dealing with serial numbers when you need to rebuild a server NOW.
Also, since none of your services will be configured yet, it's usually best practice to setup a server without any services turned on (except maybe remote desktop) and then turn them on after you get things setup. This is where those "tear" sheet .plist backup files from Server Admin come in handy.
