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.

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 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.

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 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 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

How to set image size for importing photos from a digital camera

I'm using Iphoto 6 and am a novice user of my new digital camera. The camera is set to HQ image quality. Initially when I imported photos from the camera into IPhoto, the images were very large (over 1 meg) and produced good quality 4X6 prints. Now when I import photos from the same camera still set to HQ image quality, the photos are very small (less than 100 kb) after being imported into IPhoto. I think I must have changed some kind of setting in IPhoto that affects the size of an imported image, but I can't find where that is or how to change it back so that the size is not changed when imported. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks!

Dave, thanks for clarifying Toad's response for me - I was just too ignorant to connect the dots from his responses. As you said, there were 2 versions - 1 in the original folder and 1 in data; the original folder had the photos that were 1 mb. We must have pulled from that folder previously to print photos not realizing they existed in 2 places. So when we found these thumbnail photos, we just thought they were the real thing. Where can you go to learn about the struction and hierarchy of the photos in terms of what Iphoto does to an image when you import it? Is it in Iphoto help somewhere? Thanks so much for your help with this, and you too Toad for leading me down the path.
If you're getting the size from Finder, I think Old
Toad's question makes a lot of sense. Is the file
you're looking at, somewhere in a folder called
"Data" in iPhoto Library? That 56k sounds about the
right size for a thumbnail.
If you do a search for the image name, both the
actual photo and the small thumbnail are stored with
the same image, e.g. abc.jpg

Setting time critical digital output based on axis position (PCI-7358)

HI,
I need to set a time critical digital output based on encoder position (this will switch fast acting valves). I was planning to try the general purpose DIO but I can't find any examples, I have been through the manuals, searched the site etc. Where can I find help with this, all the examples only seem to deal with digital input triggering or RTSI? I'm thinking of an onboard program that just monitors encoder positions and sets digital outputs.
Some time back I seem to remember reading that general purpose DIO should not be used for time critical operations, is that correct? And if so what are the other options - RTSI going to another DIO board? The DIO really needs to be deterministic, is RTSI the only option?
Any advice appreciated / Martin

Even with an onboard program you will always get a delay of several milliseconds between your axis has crossed the position and until the digital outputs are set. If this is ok for you then you could choose this approach.
For the case that you only want to toggle one digital line the Breakpoint feature should be the best solution as it toggles the breakpoint output almost immediately when the breakpoint positions are reached.
If you need to change a whole pattern instead of only a single line then the approach you mentioned would be the best solution (RTSI and high-speed DIO like the 653x boards). Combine this approach with the breakpoint feature by routing the breakpoint output to RTSI and using this as a update clock signal for the DIO board.

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 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 detect scanner

The scanner of my Epson Stylus Photo RX500 is not detected when Image Capture is launched. Is there a workaround or pref that needs to be changed?
I would like to use Image Capture instead of Epson Scan. Epson Scan doesn't work well in my experience.
Thanks for your help,
Eaglepeak

I installed Epson Scan again.

Image Capture doesn't work over WiFi

I've got an HP Printer connected via USB to an AirPort Express. I can print to it without any problems. However, if I open the Image Capture app native to OS X it doesn't show the printer, so I can't scan documents. Is there any way to get Image Capture (or any other app which from which I can scan) to recognize the printer when it's connected via the AirPort Express?
Thanks

Is there any way to get Image Capture (or any other app which from which I can scan) to recognize the printer when it's connected via the AirPort Express?
Sorry, but no. Printers connected to the AirPort's USB port are supported only for printing. Advanced printer functions like copying, faxing, or scanning (as in this case) are not supported.

Image Capture - Can't set output size or jpeg options

I upgraded to SL and found out that I now have to use Image Capture instead of HP ScanPro on my OfficeJet 5510. In ScanPro, after the preview scan, I could select an area to be scanned, specify a width for the output size in pixels and let ScanPro calculate the height, and scan to a jpeg file specifying the jpeg quality as medium. Image Capture does not allow these settings. Are there any Image Capture options that are hidden somewhere or is there any other way to scan in SL?

I am having the same issue with Image Capture as well. It's not just with my JPG settings, it's with all scanned document using the document feeder. I use a canon MF4370dn. I'm attempting to scan a 20 page document to PDF and it will not allow me to set the output size, there's an option there, just will not allow me to set it (it stays blank). So when I scan I get a very small pixel on the page (about 1/2" by 1/2" on each page, nothing else is scanned in. Weird, any help?
