Image Capture- Canon Scanner no longer appears

I had been using my old Canon Canoscan LiDE 60 with Snow Leopard's "Image Capture" app.
I then got "creative" and installed the driver and scan app from the Canon web site which I discovered will not work with Snow Leopard. When I went back to "Image Capture" it now would not see the scanner either.  So I ran the Canon "Uninstall Driver" (from their site) and downloaded and installed that latest Printer/Scanner Canon drivers from Apple. Image Capture still will not "see" the scanner.
Any suggestions?
OSX 10.6.7

Solved my own problem... the CanoScan Toolbox software needs to be installed PRIOR TO the CanoScan driver install, just the opposite of what I would expect.

  • I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detect

    I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detected.

    Looks like all Epson scanners will fail under Mvrx. And who knows when an updated driver will be available. It's not as if they have had a while to do it already.
    After I noticed mine wouldn't work, I deleted my Workforce 610 and re-added it by pressing the + and instead of going for the IP versions that may pop up, that they say to do under normal conditions, select the Bonjour version. When you select the new printer/scanner in the Printers & Scanners Control Panel, then open the control window and then look in the dock and see if your printer is there. Right click on it and go to "Keep in Dock" for easy Access. In the printer panel there should be a little picture of a scanner on the right side. Click on it or type Commmand-3 and the built-in scanner software/utility will come up. After playing with it I think it's better than and there are some cool features that are not in the stock Epson software.
    Hope this helps.

  • Image capture loses scanner connection

    My problem is one that apparently shared with a great many others but I have yet to find the answer to the problem.  When I boot Image Capture I find my Canon MX722 scanner listed in the "shared" section.  I click on it to scan.  The scanner produces a preview of what's on the platen and, depending on the settings, will try to identify the separate pictures I've placed here.  Once I've defined what I want scanned, it will scan or or two images and then it just shuts down, giving me the message that it can't find a camera or a scanner.  I have to then click "hide" and then "show" again for the scanner to reappear, and then it goes through the whole scenario all over again.  I just scanned over 30 images and it took forever because of the the software would repeatedly shut down and I'd have to manually start it back up.  If this software will let me, here's a video illustrating the problem.
    Anyone know what the solution is?

    I don't like the "quality" of my current printer and I'm about to abandon Epson for a Canon AIO: any pros/cons on the MG7520? (Looking for superb photo/scan quality).
    Hi babowa. I don't have much experience with the MG7520 (MG7560 down here). I have only printed on this model and that was just on plain paper - no photo printing. So I cannot advise on the scan quality. But I have used the previous model, the MG7160, and thought the photo printing and scanning were good. Since the new model is using the same engine then I don't think you will be disappointed.
    One thing I will mention is you may notice a slight magenta hue on prints from the Canon when compared to the Epson, which have more of a cyan hue. The rumour mill says this is due to the desire to print the respective logo correctly - Canon red & Epson blue - but this has never been officially documented.

  • 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

  • Image capture and scanner

    I have a Brother MFC5440-CN all in one machine that I use as a scanner. It works great with my G4 Powerbook using Image Capture. However, with my iMac, Image Capture knows that the MFC-5440-CN is there, but thinks that it is not connected. I have downloaded the latest firmware and drivers for the MFC5440-CN. Is there a fix for this and why will it work with my G4, but not my Intel based iMac?

    Hi L,
    Thanks for all your help, but still not joy. When I try to scan with Image Capture I get the following message:
    Failed to connect to device
    -Check the I/F cable connection between the device and your computer.
    -Please turn OFF the device once, and then turn ON the device again.
    Then try again.
    [MTW005]
    Not sure what the I/F cable connection is, but the all in one machine is connected to the system with an ethernet cable to a router. Apparently this is not a problem for the PowerBook G4 (which is a wireless connection), but is one for the iMac.
    In any case I followed the above instructions and your suggestions and keep getting the above alert. Do you have any other suggestions?
    Thanks

  • Mountain Lion Image Capture won't recognize my Canon MP600 Scanner

    I'm not sure when it happened as I don't use my scanner all that much but at some point in the last month or so Image Capture can'is no longer able to see my scanner. It's a multi function Canon MP600 printer/scanner. I can still print but no go on scanning. I checked out the Canon site for drivers/updates but there are none. System Report sees the MP600 and like I said, I can print just not scan. I'm running 10.8.2.
    Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated.
    Joe

    This might have been my fix, too. I did as this instructed; however, after installing v.2.11 from Apple's site and deleting the printer, then adding it back again (I also unplugged and replugged the printer), nothing changed.
    I then did as "noseyp" below suggested and at the Canon site added the scanner driver for Mac OS 10.7. That process (after I bypassed my security roadblock), required a computer restart.
    So was is it v.2.11 installation (plus the restart) that made the difference? Or was it the 10.7 scanner driver? I won't know.
    I'd suggest to anyone to do as "legendarybc" suggested, but then do restart your computer. If that doesn't work, then add the 10.7 scanner driver from:

  • 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.

  • External/Remote Images no longer appear in Design View!

    Hi,
    First post here.
    Suddenly external/remote images in Dreamweaver CS3 no longer appear when viewed in Design View.
    All I get now is grey boxes!
    I have tried toggling 'Display External Files' on and off, made sure Cache is off (tried it with on too) and nothing seems to make a difference.
    If anyone could help please, it's so annoying
    Thanks,
    James

    Windows XP.
    I'm an experienced web designer, 10+ years so you will have to trust me my code is fine.
    It just shows the grey boxes in place of where the images should be.

  • Image Capture application keeps "losing" my device

    Image Capture was telling me that there wasn't a scanner or camera connected. I use an HP Photosmart C4680. The printer aspect has been fine since upgrading to SL. I inserted my SL disk. Opened Optional Installs. Went through the prompts etc. and selected to install the Printer Support. Ejected the disk. Restarted computer. Opened Image Capture and device was listed on left side margin and test worked perfectly.
    The problem now is that every 12-24 hours the device disappears again from Image Capture.
    Anyone else have this problem or have any ideas how to permanently correct it?

    Similar problem with Lexmark X4550.
    Printing fine whether or not Image capture recognises the scanner.
    Open image capture no scanner listed (ipod and phone are listed).
    Unplug USB and pug in - scanner appears and works (there is a bug where the rotation correction is not supported and the scan fails)
    Quit image capture and re-launch image Image capture scanner is "lost" (ipod and phone appear as before). Unplug and plug in USB cable and scanner re-appears.
    Anyone have any suggestions as how I can make Image capture "remember" I have a scanner attached.
    I'm using the bundled Lexmark driver with SL.
    Cheers

  • Canon scanner not listed under scanners since installing Yosemite

    Hi
    Have just upgraded my iMac 21.5" to Yosemite. Since doing that my Canon 9000F Mark II scanner no longer appears in the Printers and Scanners section of System Preferences, where it could be found when running Mavericks. It also doesn't appear when clicking the + option to add another device. Am relatively new to Macs so no idea where to start to solve the problem. Help appreciated!

    First check with Canon to see if they have an up-to-date driver for  your scanner. If Canon no longer supports it then you will be forced to buy a third party driver. VueScan is very  popular and supports  hundreds of different scanners. They have a free demo to use to see if your scanner is compatible so you can test it before buying.
    Good luck.

  • Image Capture Stopped Working on MacPro

    Attempted to scan material with my Epson Perfection 2450 PHOTO with Image Capture on my MacPro and received error message that "No camera or scanner connected." I have used this scanner with Image Capture routinely in the past with no problem.
    When I switched to "EPSON Scan as an option, it worked without changing anything. Also, I physically moved my scanner to my MacBook Pro, and it worked perfectly with Image Capture.
    Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    It all started with: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL900
    The solution:
    Delete - /Library/Image Capture/Devices/EPSON Scanner.app
    Steps - quit image capture, unplug scanner, delete app, plug scanner in again
    Reinstall old version of Epson scanner.app.
    If you dont have the old version available, download from
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3429397/EPSON%20Scanner.app.zip
    unzip, drag to /Library/Image Capture/Devices/
    Restart Image capture.
    And Voila, you can scan full page again...
    Worked for me...

  • Canon MP560 no longer recognized by Image Capture/Preview

    I have a Canon MP560 wireless printer/scanner and for some reason the scanner can no longer be seen by either Image Capture, Preview, or the Canon mp560 scanner toolbox under the Print menu. This happened either after installing 10.6.5 or after installing the latest Canon Printer Driver updates (I am not sure which caused it, as I did both updates recently...)
    It can, however, be seen by MP Navigator 3.0.
    Anyone found a fix for this yet?
    thanks

    Okay, have done some testing and found some interesting things.
    With a new install of 10.6.5 (selecting not to add any printers) I was not able to locate any Canon AIO via wireless. The Default Add Printer pane was empty so it looks like the printer and scanner driver needs to be present on the Mac. For the printer this is understood, as the Canon protocol 'canonijnetwork' is not present in the BJPrinters folder located in Library > Printers > Canon (due to the customized installation the Canon folder was not even present). In checking the Image Capture folder (HD > Library) I also found that the Devices folder was missing. Inside of here you would normally find the Canon IJScanner package/s for a standard installation of 10.6. But with the customized install this package was not present and appears to influence the Mac's ability to 'see' the networked scanner component. To confirm this, I installed the Canon v2.4.1 driver update, which in turn created the Devices folder in Image Capture and consequently made the scanner component appear in the Default Add Printer view.
    Another observation was that prior to installing the Canon v2.4.1 update, Image Capture would still display the MP on the network, but under the Shared menu - not the Devices menu. So even without the ICA driver installed nor the MP scanner driver installed, I was still able to use Image Capture to scan a document from the wireless MP. The same was true for Preview in as far as the Networked Scanner selection showed all the MP's present on the wireless network.
    At this stage I believe that the Canon driver update you mentioned may have contributed to part, if not all, of your current symptom. The install.log does have a record of what this update installs. If you checked it there may be record of the installer not completing correctly. In any case I assume that for your Mac this update did not complete correctly and is causing the problem. So one suggestion would be to run the [Canon Driver v2.4.1 update|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL899] again (or for the first time if you simply used Software Update previously) to see if this repairs the CanonIJScanner packages.

  • Since upgrade to Mountain Lion my scanner and Image Capture program will not work ( have a Canon MP980 printer/scanner). How do I correct?

    I recently installed Mountain Lionn on my iMac. After installing the Image Capture program no longer allowed me to  scan - I immediately received an error message. Even when I tried to scan directly from the printer/scanner (Canon MP980) I received the same message. Scanner worked fine with 'Lion' How do I correct this problem now?

  • Image capture and Canon Scanner

    Why won't my Canon D660U scanner work with Image Capture? I've downloaded SANE (whatever that is) and Image Capture will now recognise the printer, but still won't scan my slides. The only application that will work is Vuescan, but it's US$49.95! Surely the application built in to Tiger can do the job, why is it so hard to get it to work?

    Image Capture works with scanners that have driver software for Mac OS X. It also works with some TWAIN-compatible scanners.
    To find out if your scanner is compatible with Mac OS X, check with the scanner's manufacturer, or go to the peripheral compatibility webpage at www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/devices.html.
    If Image Capture doesn't recognize your scanner, be sure to install the software that came with the scanner.
    If that doesn't work, chooses Devices > Browse Devices. Under TWAIN devices, select your scanner, and select "Use TWAIN Interface." Then Click Connect. To learn how to perform scans with the dialog that appears, see the documentation that came with your scanner.
    Check with the scanner's manufacturer to make sure you have the latest software.
    [Source - Apple Help Menu]
    Be sure to also go to Canon's site and download any updates to your printer / scanner in the 'Support' section.
    Hope this helps.
