Image capture cannot detect Epson 10000XL over network.

I have an Epson Expression 10000XL scanner with an ethernet card, connected to an Airport Express, and then wirelessly to my iMac. The Epson Scan application detects the scanner and allows scanning to take place, but Image Capture does not detect the scanner. How do I also get Image Capture to detect my scanner wirelessly? Thank you.

As promised, I called Apple this morning, and they said that Epson (not Apple) was responsible for providing the drivers for their scanners. Since I can connect my iMac and Epson scanner to all of my scanning applications through a USB connection, and can only connect wirelessly to Epson Scan, it follows that Epson provides only a driver to connect with their proprietary Epson Scan and no drivers for connecting to other scanning software, including Image Capture.
This looks like the end of my efforts to connect wirelessly to Image Capture. Thanks for your help, PAHU.

Help! Image Capture scanning detected images solid black! Screen cap inside.

I know this is not a forum for Image Capture, but there is no dedicated forum for it, and I figure there are smarter people here with regards to images.
Image Capture is scanning ~some~ detected images solid black. It presents an overview scan just fine, but than the final files are black.
Here is a screen capture:

iPhoto earlier than iPhoto 9 (11) does not support Grayscale because it adds a color profile name Dot Gain 20%. This profile is not compatible with iPhoto. You can either rescan those photos as color photos or change the profile to sRGB or RGB.
I've created an Automator workflow application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile, that will convert B/W files to a jpg file with the sRGB profile. However, is doing so it adds an additional jpeg compression level to the file resulting is a smaller file size but not a smaller image size. You can download it from Toad's Cellar.
The conversion will have to be done on the photos outside of iPhoto before they are imported. So you will have to export the original files to a folder on the Desktop, run the application on them and then reimport the new files.

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 and detect separate items

I have a Lexmark Genesis S816 multifunction printer and am using Mac OSx 10.7.5. I am trying to scan multiple photos and have an issue with "Detect Separate Items". This feature works, but with odd quirks.
With the details panel open, the initial scan works well. On the second scan, I have multiple boxes on the screen and each picture is scanned multiple times. The Use custom size check box is checked and I am saving the images as .jpeg with a resolution of 300 dpi.
If I close the details panel, the images are scanned a single time, but I have no control over the size or position of the images. If a picture has a light background, the automatic feature cuts off part of the picture, believing the image stopped at that point.
Any suggestions

John,
Can you take a look and delete any of these files that exist:
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.Image_Capture.<some long number>.plist
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.ImageCapture2.<some long number>.plist
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.ImageCaptureExtension2.<some long number>.plist
~/Library/Preferences/Image_Capture.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist
Yes I know a couple of them were already on your list. If they are back, delete them again. Hopefully this will get you to a clean starting point.
Just trying to help.

Iphoto/image capture problems

I have a MacBook pro with lion (all updates installed) and an iPhone 4S with the latest OS (all updates installed)
When I plug the phone into the macbook, I can see the phone in itunes (latest version) but I do not see the phone in iPhoto or Image Capture app - No camera or scanner connected.
Please let, I want to import my photos!
Thanks in advance
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1

If iphoto is selected, the iphone does not show in iphone (or in image capture)
if image capture is selected, the iphone does not show in image capture (or iphoto)
The iphone does not appear in any application anytime no matter what the preferences are in iphoto
(for that matter, the iphone does not show in picasa import either!!!!)

Image Capture App fails in Mavericks

I have just recently downloaded Mavericks, and the one app that does not function is Image Capture so no camera is functioning. I ahve looked very widely at the net and it seems to be a widespread problem. It is a perfectly functionning app in my previous setup. I can find it back in Time machnine, but I can not seem to get it to work in Maverick.
It is not available in the App Store. It is native to Apple and will not stand any interference.
Surely this is a glitch that Apple should fix with an update, and not expect amateur computer people to fiddle around with NVRAM etc etc.
Why would a perfectly good app (from Apple) stop working in a new installation. It does not make sense!!!!

What happens when you try to use it?

I deleted photos from my iPhone but still see them in Image Capture app

I am running iOS 8 and I have a problem with my photo library. I deleted all the photos form my phone, and went into "recently deleted" and made sure I permanently deleted them, however when I plug my phone into my Mac and look in image capture, I still see over 400 photos in there. Does anybody know if there's any way to figure out where these photos reside on my iPhone? They aren't viewable through the photos app and seem to be taking up space but are not usable.
I currently have all iCloud photo related functions turned off.

Hello J-a-x,
It sounds like you are seeing photos in Image Capture that you have removed from the Photos app by deleting them from the Recently Deleted album. It seems to me that the Photos app is going to be the linchpin here so thats where I would troubleshoot. Start by closing all the apps that are running on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Then see if the photos are showing anywhere in the Photos app. If so delete them once more, in the same way you had before, also removing them from Recently Deleted and see if Image Capture is detecting them or not.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Can I use Image Capture to take a picture using a Canon EOS 10D?

Normally I use a card reader to download digital photos, but today I hooked my camera directly to my iMac. I then noticed the "Take Picture" button, so I tried to use it to take a picture with my Canon EOS 10D. Image Capture didn't refuse, it just showed the 'cogwheel' animated cursor and got stuck. What does this mean - is it that this particular camera won't work or that there is something wrong with the setup? I have other digital cameras, but I don't want to work all this out by experiment alone - how can I find out more about how this feature of IC works and what exactly is going on when I press "Take Picture"? There is absolutely no technical info in the Help files.

The Help on Image Capture has the following:
Many cameras let you take a picture using Image Capture when the camera is connected to your computer.
To take a picture:
Connect your camera and open Image Capture.
Click Download Some.
Click Take Picture.
The camera snaps a picture, which then appears in the window.
If you don’t see the Take Picture icon, choose View > Customize Toolbar, and drag the Take Picture icon to the toolbar.
If the Take Picture icon is dimmed, your camera doesn’t support this feature.
As the option is available to you, your camera supports +Tethered Shooting+. If it’s not working check your camera’s manual to see do you need this enabled on your camera.
Regards

Image Capture app: wont recog iPhone 3Gs

my iPhone 3gs has been working fine with Snow Leopard's Image Capture app
today when I connected it - SL wont recognize the iPhone at all
tried:
restarting Macbook Pro
restarting iPhone
all I get is from Image Capture is "no camera or scanner connected".
When I launch ITunes I can sync the phone normally.
What gives ?

Recently had the exact same problem. All of a sudden neither my MacBook nor my PC would recognize the iPhone as a camera device. Image Capture wouldn't work for me either. I used iDrive Lite to back up some photos online from my phone, and then followed the directions posted in this forum.
I deleted all the photos from my Camera Roll. Rebooted iPhone.
After rebooting, I took a picture, hooked my iPhone up to the Mac, and iPhoto opened up again.
I tried it on the PC, and the PC also now recognizes the iPhone as well.
I had screenshots and saved photos from emails, as well as shots taken with the iPhone itself, and I didn't progressively delete them, so I cannot attest as to which photos were the culprit. I just mass deleted them all.
They should fix this problem ... it's a pain. But iDrive Lite is free and you can at least back up your pics.

After 3.1.3 iphoto & image capture don't detect iphone as camera device.

I have installed the recent update 3.1.3 on my iphone 3GS.
My iphoto (or image capture) no longer detects the iphone as a camera...
and will not automatically bring up the import option.
I can't get photos and video from the iphone to the computer...
The iphone seems to sync with itunes without any problem... it's just the image capture.
I have a laptop (running OS X 10.5.8) and a imac desktop... neither of them detact the iphone when it is connected for image capture... iphoto is set to open automatically when a camera is detected (i tried my other dedicated digital camera and it works fine)... even if I manually open iphoto - it simply won't import... I have restarted everything... I have swapped the connection cords...
it has to be a bug in the update... everything was working fine before the update.
please help...

I found another thread which solved the problem for me...
should have looked harder before posting:

HT201302 Old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I plug into my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up photos in the camera roll. There were more photos on albums and photo library on the iphone that arent showing up in iphoto and icapture.

My old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I try to get the photos off and onto my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up the camera roll. I have more pictures that arent on the camera roll there are albums and a photo library full of pictures that I want off of this dang phone. I have tried everything and I cant email them to myself because the service has been cut off of the phone. They are stuck on the phone there is there any way to get them off? Am I missing something.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
Again, the photo sync is one way.
Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your old computer?
Not good. You can e-mail the photos from your iphone. You do not need to have phoe service for this. The iphone uses wi-fi. The photos will never be of the original quality, as they are reduced when synced to iphone.

Image Capture, upon opening, always reads "No camera or scanner selected" (and the scanner doesn't scan. Why?).

"Image Capture" application, upon opening, always reads "No camera or scanner selected." Scanner does not scan (HP C4680, All-in-one type). Mine is a Mac OS X (Snow Leopard 10.6.7). All connections seem fine. What's wrong? Am decidedly NOT a "techie" and this is first computer ever owned by enquirer. Thank you.

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.
