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.

  • 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 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.

    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 doesn't set time on digital camera

    Older versions of Mac OS X's Image Capture app had an option to synchronize the time on my camera with the computer's clock. Now I don't see this option anywhere any more. Was the feature dropped? I'm using a Canon PowerShot SD400.

    Well, I'm running OS X 10.5.1 on both a Mac Pro and a 15" Powerbook and the option appears in both so the option wasn't intentionally removed by Apple. All I can think of at the moment is to run Disk Utility and do a Repair Disk or try a program like Pacifist (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12743) to re-install Image Capture from the install disk.

  • IPhoto / Image Capture doesn't find Canon Powershot Camera

    Since I upgraded to Lion, my Macbook no longer sees my Canon Powershot SD 1200IS camera. Tried using iPhoto and Image Capture (following someone else's suggestion). No SD slot on my Macbook. Is there another solution?

  • Iphoto and image capture not recognizing kodak camera

    Hello!
    I am having trouble uploading photos from my Kodak easyshare dx4530 to iphoto 6.0.5. This is a new thing as I have uploaded many times before. The camera is not recognized by iphoto or by image capture when the usb is connected. The camera and usb work fine when connected to my husband's ibook G4.
    I tried moving the preferences to the trash (com.apple.iphoto.plist and com.apple.imagecaptureapp.plist) and this did not work. There is only 1 account on the computer and it is the admin account.
    Thanks in advance for any help offered.

    pb35:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is the camera recognized by System Profiler? Did you run any updates before this problem began? A first cut would be a reinstall of the 10.4.9 COMBO updater followed by a permissions repair.
    I'd create a second, non-admin, very vanilla account and see if the camera is recognized there by iPhoto or IC. A second plain account is a very good troubleshooting tool to see if the problem is with what's been added to the primary account.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Why does image capture not recognise mac camera

    When i go onto image capture, it says there are no camera's or scanners. How do I find the original camera that came with the mac (there is definitely a camera on the mac)? Is this possible?

    Image capture is for importing/copying images off a camera memory card or from a scanner. It doesn't activate the built in camera. For that open Photo Booth.

  • IOS 10.8.2-image capture and my canon camera

    Is there an update for image capture that will allow me to connect to my canon camera? I get a dialogue box saying this os can't use find the camera.
    Thanks,

    To see the contents of the iPhoto Library, in the Finder, right-click or control-click on the iPhoto Library and choose "Show Pacage Contents". That will open the iPhoto Library, which is a "bundle" (a folder that looks like a file unless you show contents, then you see the folder). 
    It's hidden because you can really mess iPhoto up if you add or delete something in there (by hand).
    So don't change anything in there unless you are a techie.
    I don't have a "Metadata Backup" folder in my iPhoto Library, so from there you may need more help but hopefully you'll see your file in there..
    Then you could make a new alias.
    But that is a very odd location for an alias, why would you want an alias of  the *backup* of just the Metadata of a photo? How and why did you make the alias in the first place and what is it supposed to be? Your photos are probably somewhere else in the iPhoto Library 's folders, of course the easy way to get to the photos is by using iPhoto and save/export a copy somwhere if you need a copy outside of iPhoto. Is a photo what you want?

  • 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 Always Scan

    I have an Epson 810 printer/scanner.  I use Image Capture on my MacBook to scan documents from it.  It's weird but most of the time it scans just fine but once in a blue moon, it will recognize the scanner in "Devices" but it will not scan the document.  If I wait a couple of days, it will be alright magically.  What could possible be causing this?  Here is what I get when it's not working:

    Some additional thoughts.
    Does the Preferences have the option to open the Scanner window ticked ?
    Does the Scanner appear in the Browse Menu when you Browse for Devices ?
    My Epson CX6400 which is of some age now does not show Scanner Ablities in th System Profiler for OS X 10.5.8
    The Printer part uses the OS X installed Cups + Gutenprint driver.
    I have also installed the Epson stuff that came on the CD which I am sure installed a Twain Driver for the scanner part.
    It seems this is what the Browse info tells me is being used.
    In Hard Drive/Library/Image Capture/Devices the Epson Scanner.app has been added.
    In the same Image Capture folder a Twain Data Source folder is also present and the Scanner .ds file is in there.

  • Image Capture doesn't see or download my photos taken since update to iOS4

    Hi!
    I updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS4 a couple of days ago. Since then, Image Capture stopped seeing (and therefore can't download either!) the photos I've been taking, which are stored in my camera roll. It can still see those taken before the update.
    Any idea...?
    Help would be much appreciated!

    @august1851 -- I had the same issue: took 84 photos on the iPod Touch but couldn't get ImageCapture.app or iPhoto.app to recognize that there were images on the device.
    My solution was to (a) install Dropbox on the iPod, (b) log in to Dropbox using my existing account, and (c) telling Dropbox to sync photos from my iPod to my Dropbox account.
    The entire upload process took about an hour, but now I have access to my photos!

  • Image Capture doesn't see my printer/scanner

    iMac 27 / OSX 10.9 (Tried updating and there aren't any available) / HP 6500 e709a printer all-in-one 9USB connected)
    I went to scan something this evening, clicked Image Capture and it open but didn't show any devices or option to add one. System preferences sees the device pius an additional printer I have connected. They both print or at least did. It was suggested that I delete the 6500 and re-add it. When I do that it says there isn't any software available at this time. Ugh!
    Any thoughts? Thank you, CJOB

    Install drivers from this link:
    HP_Lion_Ink_SW_v12.13.2.dmg
    Then one labelled HP from Apple:
    HP
    If that doesn't work, look at Image Capture's preferences and enable TWAIN.
    If that doesn't work, try
    Vuescan
    Silverfast
    these scanners available to the Mac using SANE drivers from open source SANE developers
