Image Capture doesn't recognize SD card

In Tiger I would pop in my SD card into a reader in my pcmcia slot and image capture would read it as a device and I could then use it to embed color profiles etc. as it downloaded to the correct folder.
Leopard's Image Capture won't recognize the card as a device. It will mount and I can pull from it like a flash drive in the finder window, but I would love to use Image Capture again.
Anybody know what happened?

I have filed a bug report with Apple.
I spoke on the phone with an Apple Developer Connection representative and have communicated with Apple via e-mail on a couple occasions now about this issue. They have had me follow some troubleshooting procedures and send them the results.
The bug report is still considered open, so they must be working on fixing the problem. Otherwise I would think they would have close the bug report by now. Maybe we'll see a fix in 10.5.2?
Also, I noticed the following interesting phenomenon: I made a disk image of my SD card and then ejected SD card. Upon mounting the disk image of the SD card, iPhoto launched, just as it used to under Mac OS X Tiger when I inserted my SD card. Intriguing!

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.

Image capture doesn't recognize iphone

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
-iphoto does not see the phone and does not have the missing images - I cannot manually import anything from any device
-Activity monitor shows a new copy of ptpcamera each time I plug in the iPhone to the USB cable
-restarting iPhone/iTUnes/iPhoto/Mac have no effect
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.

Image Capture doesn't recognize my Built-in iSight Camera

I'm trying to use Image Capture but when I open the application is shows the following message:
"No scanner or camera connected".
It's supposed the camera is connected because I'm also using Skype video call (not at the same time I'm trying to use Image Capture) and there's no problem with it.
Image Capture was working perfectly couple months ago, now it isn't.
Does somebody know what the problem might be?
Thanks for your comments and opinions.
Sebastian.

image capture doesn't use the isight, it's for other digital cameras & scanners. use the screen capture ability. hold, command shift, press 4 & tap spacebar to see a camera icon. click on an open / active window when it's lighted in blue, click the mouse. saves the pic as a png on your desktop.

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:

Image Capture won't recognize camera under other user log in

Image Capture won't recognize cameras under another other users log in on the same computer even though it works perfectly under the main user log in. Can some body hep me pleeze? What am I doing wrong or how can I let my daughter use her digital camera under her log in?

Hi G-Man,
It's probably something in the Preferences folder; Users/herusername/Library/Preferences. Start by removing com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist and trying again. If that doesn't do it drag the entire Preference folder to the desktop, log out and back in. Launch it again and if it works you can either reset preferences for all System Preferences and apps or drag the preferences files a group at a time back to the new Preference folder in Library and test Image Capture each time. That way you can narrow it down to the one offending preference file.

Image capture won't recognize Canoscan lide 700f

Hello. I have OS X, v. 10.6.7 I have been using Image Capture to run the Canoscan lide 700f scanner. Then, it stopped recognizing the scanner. Image capture is opened and says "no camera or scanner attached." The scanner is operational. The MAC sees the printer in systems preferences > hardware > print and fax. Any ideas on what I can do to get this scanner recognized by Image Capture again? Thanks for your help.

I had the problem with the same scanner and Lion. When the Mac would go to sleep, Image Capture would not recognize the scanner after it woke up. Had to unplug and replug the USB connector to get it to start correctly. I was blaming it on the scanner driver, but I accidently discovered that if I opened Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, all of a sudden the scanner would respond to an attempt to import from the scanner (to Elements). After that, Image Capture could talk to it just fine. So it appears that it is an Image Capture problem and not an issue with the Cannon driver.

Image Capture will not recognize my Epson Workforce 615

Image Capture will not recognize my Epson Workforce 615. It would not recognize my HP 4280 either.
I can print but I cannot scan using Image Capture. Scanning through Epson scan or HPScan Pro works.
What am I doing wrong? I have searched all over the net for an answer and there does not seem to be a solution. Only other people searching for the same answer.
And no I do not want to use VueScan.
Thanks!

Thank you for your quick reply. I ran all of the updates and the software is current.
Image Capture recognizes the printer/scanner via USB but not WIFI.

Image capture won't recognize my ScanSnap iX500. How do I make them work together?

Image capture won't recognize my ScanSnap iX500. How do I make them work together?

To use Image Capture you need an ICA driver for your scanner. Checking the Fujitsu web site for drivers for the iX500 I only see a ScanSnap manager for OS X. No mention of an ICA driver. So you may need to contact your local Fujitsu support.

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
Adrian

Image capture does not recognize Canon Scanner

I have two Canon Scanners, a Canoscan 8800F and a Canoscan LiDE 60. Image Capture does not recognize either of these. Both worked with Mountain Lion.

This user found some success acutally using *older* drivers. While that sounds odd, it might be worth a try: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23759017#23759017
I used to have a LIDE 60 - it is a great little machine. Good luck!

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

Iphoto & Image Capture doesn't see Iphone, Itunes Does.
I am able to do everything as normal in itunes but cannot import photos using Image Capture(my prefered way to get my images) as it does not see my devise. Same for iphoto it doesn't see my iphone, please help.
Thank you

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.

Image Capture does not recognize my Canon Pixma MP150 printer

Image Capture does not recognize my Canon Pixma MP150 printer since I upgraded to Mavericks.

To scan with Image Capture you need an ICA driver. Looking through the CanonDevices list in the /Library/Image Capture folder I cannot see an entry for the MP150. And I checked Canon Australia's web site and there is no ICA driver for the MP150. There is a scanner driver and MP Navigator for OS X 10.7. You may be able to install and use the driver and application on 10.9, although you will have to get past Gatekeeper to install both items as they are not digitally signed. To do this, you can hold down the Control key and click on the installer. A pop-up menu will appear and you can select Open. You will then be able to install the driver and then the application. If they do install then see if you can open MP Navigator and scan from the MP150.

Image capture no longer recognizes .jpg files

I have HV40 Canon and mini SD. I've been importing jpeg images for years. Now, all of a sudden, iPhoto (image capture) cannot read those file. This may have something to do with the latest updates which I installed last night. Now, even photos successfully imported just before the update, do not import. I get import error "Import error (-9937)" from Image Capture. One of these updates is screwing up my capture. OS X Yosemite, 10.10.3, MacBook Pro mid 2012. Thanks!

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Connect the camera and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
Also, use a card reader to manually upload the files from the memory card to a folder on the Desktop. Once you have the files safely on the hard drive use the camera to reformat the memory card. Take some test shots and see if iPhoto will recognize the card.

Image Capture doesn't recogonize camera

Up until today, iPhoto 2.01 would automatically see and import photos from my Nikon CoolPix 4800. After trying all the iPhoto fixes, rebuild library, removing preferences, etc. I even used a new interface cable, and different USB ports, but nothing. I then tried Image Capture 2.1.0 (v183) and it doesn't see the camera. This leads me to believe it's the camera, however I can connect the camera to a TV with an audio/video cable and see the photos.

Thomas:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Some cameras have two selectable protocols for conntecting to other devices. I don't remember what they are called but check the menu's in the camera or, heaven forbid the manual-but don't let anyone see you reading it, to see if your camera has that option. If so then change to the the other one and see if that won't fix it.
Also, with the camera connected open the System Profiler (select About this Mac in the Apple menu and click the More Info button) and see it it can recognize the camera in the USB section.
