Image Capture Error Message Import Error -9912

Hi
I was backing up the photos and videos from my iPhone 5s to an external hard drive that I have. I have done this many times before without a problem. Today, I encountered an error. It said "Import Error (-9912)" and 1,025 items were not imported.
Please could someone explain what this error message means and if possible give me some tips to solve it.
Thanks
Nick

Image Capture gives message "Import Error (-9912)" using Mavericks on Mac. What does this mean?

Downloading pictures from my Panasonic DMC-TZ10 camera has never been a problem using Image Capture. Lately, I started to receive the message "Import Error (-9912) and then a list of pictures it claimed had not been downloaded. In fact, all chosen pictures had been downloaded. Upgrading to Mavericks did not solve the proble. has anyone any ideas please? Thanks! Vin Richley

A google search for error 9912 yields many hits. Peruse them. That's all I have to offer.

Image Capture Error Message Pain in the B*** after installing 10.4.10

I installed the 10.4.10 upgrade, and ever since then when I switch on my Brother DCP 115 printer, I get an error message linked to Image Capture that the connection to the machine has failed, that I should check the cables, switch it off and on an try again.
But there is no connection failure, the machine works just fine. But I'm stuck with this error message that won't disappear unless I reboot the Mac.
I tried everything already. Resetting the printer system, setting up a new connection, shutting of Image Capture from accessing the scanner, reinstalling the drivers and software, repairing permissions, nothing works.
Strange phenomenon: after a reboot, everything works fine. After my Mac has been switched of for a couple of hours, the problem returns.
Mac support in Holland doesn't know of anything. They suggested to archive and repair, promised to mail me a how-to article, which never arrived, and I don't have a clue.
Any ideas, anyone???

I have the identical problem except my printer is a Brother MFC440CN, so the problem is not printer model specific, perhaps not even unique to Brother.
The really annoying thing is that I cannot get rid of the message without using Restart or Shutdown. The OK button doesn't close it. The error message is [MTW005]
I think Apple needs to get on this and other issues associated with 10.4.10.

SCCM 2012 - Image capture error

Hi All,
Need an help, I created a capture .iso image file in SCCM and ran the same on the reference machine. But i got an error message stating "Task sequence image capture wizard has failed with the error code (0x800704CF)".
But the problem is i tried to restart the reference machine but it doesn't login at all. I tried recovery CD as well but still i am unable to recover the reference machine. Please advice is there a way i can recover the reference image since it has some
important applications please
Regards, Pratap

I would work with that vendor to get a unattended install pre-configured. Building a reference image puts you in positions like this where you have to start from scratch again and duplicate all your work.
If you cannot get help from the vendor, the best you can do is a build and capture that pauses at some point to let the vendor install happen, then continues when you are ready. Then atleast your part of the build is automated.

How do I find lost photos after Image Capture failed to import them to iPhoto?

im having this problem exactly .... http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20101215095521610
i chose to delete after import, like a wise guy, thinking nothing was going to happen and now my photos are not in my iPhoto libary... ive gone through all my images and i cant find them...
i used image capture to put all my photos into iphoto from my iphone 4 before i bought my 4S and i didnt back anything up, thinking i was fine...
when i went to iphoto they werent there, so i tried to quit iphoto and, as i did, it said my library was updating about 300+ photos, so i was like 'oh all i needed to do was restart iphoto'... but it was still a no-go, they still werent there...
i restarted my computer, looked at other peoples answers, and i just cant find them in any folder or anywhere....... and i cant find the folder from the link i posted... very tired and fustrated. i need help please : (

I don't think it can be done from within iPhoto but there's a way you can do it from outside. First download and launch QPict. Then do the following;
1 - open your iPhoto Library folder and type Command-F.
2 - in the search window create these two search criteria:
a - Kind is Folder
b - Name contains Original
3 - In the search results window click on the size column to separate the empty folders from those with files in them.
4 - select all of the folder that are not empty and drag into the open window of QPict.
That will open the original files in QPict so you can view them there and compare to those in iPhoto. Just remember do not move any of those folders out of the iPhoto Library folder. Just move them into the open window of QPict.

Image Capture Won't Import to Selected Directory

OK, this is really annoying. I use Image Capture to import images from my CF cards via a Sandisk USB reader. I open image capture, select the path and then IC copies the images wherever it darn well pleases. I can do a search and find the images and move them where I want them but I shouldn't have to. I have repaired permissions as well as run Disk Warrior on all drives. I have a PowerMac G5, 10.4.10, 6GB RAM, and a total of 8 drives mounted (SATA). Any thoughts?
Mike

When Image Capture launches there should be a location showing in the drop down menu at the top of its window. You change the location by opening the drop down menu, selecting Other, and then navigating to a new location, which then becomes the new default location for saving the things Image Capture downloads. Image Caputre saves this information in its preference file:
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist"
If changing the location doesn't work you could try removing the plist, then launch Image Capture and see if the location returns the default (I believe that is the home Pictures folder). There are also two cache files:
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.ImageCapture2.xxxx.plist"
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.ImageCaptureExtension2.xxx x.plist"
You might also remove them as well if deleting the plist didn't return Image Capture to the default state.

IPhoto 9.6 and Image Capture can't import from iPhoto, don't recognize devices or SD cards

I'm running the latest version of Yosemite on a recent MacBook Pro, with iPhoto 9.6. I recently noted when trying to import photos from an SD card that iPhoto didn't recognize the SD card automatically, and ask whether I wanted to import my photos. I was able to manually tell iPhoto to import, and find the photos by navigating to the SD card on the desktop and finding the right directories on it, so I figured it was just a hiccup and went on with my life. But now I've hooked up my iPhone 5S via USB to my Mac, and iPhoto neither recognizes that it's connected nor imports photos from it. Image Capture doesn't recognize it, either.
A few further notes:
- I'm running iOS 8.1 on the phone.
- My phone is unlocked when I'm trying to import photos.
- iTunes 12 can recognize and connect with the phone just fine.
Anyone having similar problems? Is there any help for this issue? Thanks much!

Hello Nathan,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your iPhone is not being recognized as a camera on your computer, please follow the directions in the article linked to below.

Image Capture didn't import photos to iPhoto and now pictures are deleted

I went to import photos from my camera like I normally do. Image Capture opens up and I hit "import all" and always have "delete after import" checked. The pictures imported and then it's supposed to open up iPhoto (which it did) and then import the photos into there, but it didn't. iPhoto opened and then sat there with a blank page, nothing happened, my photos weren't uploaded and now my camera is empty and the photos are gone. How did this happen? And how do I get my pictures back?? Please help!!

-This is iphoto '09 version 8.1.2
And what is your MacOS X version?
BUT! I used "Find Any File" demo software and it helped me find the "photos" but they weren't in iphoto, but on my mac(still not too sure where it was found.)
Do you have "Find Any File" still open?
If you click one of the found images, it will show you the path to the image files.Could you post what you are seeing then?
Does the path start with your Home folder or outside? Desrcibe exactly the the names of the nested folders.
Now my new problem is that the photos that were uploaded(or found) are tiny and pixelated. What i'm hoping is that I found a cheap version of the photos that were uploaded or something,
Perhaps you found the thumbnails folder - if you can give us the path there, we may be able to find the matching Masters or Originals folder.

Image Capture won't import iPhone pics

Is anyone else experiencing an issue where Image Capture sees the iPhone photos, but when you click "download all" it cycles through the photos really fast and doesn't download anything? The only "fix" I've been able to figure out is a computer restart, but it's annoying to have to restart when you just want to download a few pictures. My phone is an iPhone 3GS running the 4.2.1. I've had the problem since buying this phone last year.

Bizarrely that has just happened to me today for the first time! For me comes after installing a Canon scanner driver which Image Capture keeps thinking is there even when it is disconnected.

Custom Image Capture that Auto Imports the OS WIM and Creates a New Task Sequence

We just finished a consulting project where our customer requested an easy solution to capture thick images. After hearing their reasoning it made sense for their circumstances. The people that
will be managing the system will be non-technical and all they wanted was a very, very simple method of capturing and deploying images with no learning curve. They wanted the ability to Deploy the images via PXE.
This quickly became both our easiest scope project but making MDT simple for non-technical users can be challenging.   The MDT capture and staging steps are pretty easy for tech savvy person but for non-technical people it presented a learning
curve that the customer wanted simplified. They didn’t want to understand sysprep, capture, importing an OS and then creating a Task Sequence to reference that new image.
So we changed the scope of our project to automate MDT to perform additional steps following the capture that would:
Automatically Import the Captured OS into the MDT Deployment Share
Automatically Create a new Task Sequence that references the newly imported image
Auto Name the Task Sequence with the Model Name, Date and Time of Capture
The Final Solution:
Customer will setup a Windows PC Thick Image (All software and drivers)
The customer will Kick-off the Sysprep and Capture Task Sequence
The customized Task Sequence will capture, import the new image, and create a new TS with the new image
Customer can then PXE boot a new computer and Deploy the image or stage to media and deploy the image
We were able to remove the import OS and create new task sequence steps and this simplified it for our customer considerably. If anyone is interested in this functionality
let me know and I can send you instructions. We used Vbscript, Powershell and PSExec.exe from PowerShell. It seems to being working pretty good so far

I would love to get the instructions to this process, as I have a simular client.

Image Capture sends error message when importing photos from my camera

I tried to import photos from my Fuji FinePix JX600 using Iphoto. Received an error notice and was unable to import. Tried Image Capture and it imported 220 of 407 pictures and then sent an error notice. Very frustrated. It's a new camera and I never had any problem with my old camera. Can anyone tell me what the issue may be and how to resolve it?
Thanks

Good afternoon
There seem to be a number of possibilities.
Here is a thread that conatins a number of solutions. The most common one is to load 50 pics at a time.

Using Image Capture to import to Aperture but pictures went disappeared

Dear All,
I used Image Capture to import my pictures from iPad to my Aperture. This is my first time doing so. Normally I would just use Aperture to do the direct import.
The Image Capture saying all imports were successful, however, I could not find one single picture in Aperture. So I did it again, and it said all images were imported.
I restarted my computer to see whether the update was delayed, but I still could not find any picture.
Then I tried to import again by watching out the disk size, to see whether the import was actually taken place. And the outcome is positive, the available size of the disk is dropping (nothing else was running at the mean time).
So now I have this annoying thought keeps coming, where are all the images? And if I did import them 3 times, I want to delete them......

Your Aperture library is showing a wrong icon - have you changed it manually? The Finder is showing it as a plug-in, not as a photo library.
The icon should look like a fan of pictures, at least in aperture 3 - what is your Aperture version btw.?
You said, that the available disk space is being reduced, when you are importing, but does the size of your Aperture library increase, or is it staying at 46.82 GB?
If you did not change the icon of the library intentionally, your aperture library may be corrupted, and is not recognizable as a library. Try, if repairing the Aperture library with the First Aid Tools will fix this:
Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
Make a backup of the library, before you try the First Aid options.
After repairing, look for a "recovered" project inside the library.
If your current Aperture library really does not import the photos, the images may be in a temporary folder or a different Aperture library.
To search for the image files outside Aperture, use the Finder's search panel.
Open a Finder window showing your HD and type "⌘F".
Add a search rule "Kind is Image"
And set "Arrange by" to "Date Added". This will show all newer imports at the end of the list.

Another Epson scanning problem with Image Capture

I've been having problems scanning with an Epson CX5600 for the previous month. I can print just fine, just can't scan with Image Capture or Vuescan (not so good free software). I always get "An error occurred during scan". I've tried repairing permissions, installing Gutenprint/cups drivers, all epson drivers on the site, and deleting ALL drivers in /Library/Printers/, which later it proceeded to download the Epson drivers automatically and still fail. Any idea? My dad's unibody MacBook works just fine with Photoimpression 5 and Image Capture.

I've got the same problem w/my Epson perfection3490. Hope someone can help us both.

Batch delete disappeared from image capture!

Hi,
I was regularly using image capture to batch import photos and then delete them from my iPhone, but very recently the little red delete button has disappeared and been replaced with a rotate button, which is no use to me at all!
I can't work out if this is an update to image capture or if I have pressed something I shouldn't have! Much googling has not produced any answers.

Open finder and from the top panel go to "GO", hold ALT button on your keyboard and while you are holding this button select Library option. Other way to do this is to open Finder window and use shortcut SHIFT+CMD+G and go to location "~/Library".
Then find folder called Preferences and inside this folder you should have files called:
com.apple.Image_Capture.plist
com.apple.ImageCaptureService.plist
Make sure that Image Capture app is not open and move this two above files to your desktop. Reopen app and check if delete button is back. If everything is ok, then you can delete this 2 files from the desktop.

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.
