Image Capture isn't working

I've a MacBook Pro.  This program used to work, but now it doesn't and I don't know when it stopped working. Possibly after I upgraded to Lion?
It says "no scanner or camera connected", yet when I use the new facetime program, the camera works!
Any ideas why Image Capture doesn't recognize the onboard camera?
Thanks, Vince.

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.

    Ouch, if it is indeed damaged, then sadly you need to restore the whole danged huge OS!
    Didn't used to be this way before Lion/10.7.
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • Image Capture app not working since migrating to Lion.

    Image Capture app isn't working so well since migrating to 10.7 Lion. Now when I try to scan, Image Capture hangs with a "Crop and Rotate" message. It doesn't import into iPhoto. Anyone else run into this type of problem?

    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Image capture no longer works? ios5/10.7.2

    Hi
    I can no longer see my photos in image capture. This is iOS5/Mac OS X 10.7.2. It just shows up blank.
    I really do not want to use iPhoto (dislike strongly, as it manages photos for me, which I do not want to do), and I also do not want to use iCloud, due to various bugs reported by me a few days ago with calendaring.
    I strictly want to use image capture to pull the photos off my phone.
    Please assist.

    I've managed to get it working after trying the following:
    1. Used Disk Utility to repair permissions on my main drive
    2. In Terminal used the comand "sudo mdutil -v -i on /"
    That tells spotlight to turn indexing on for that drive.
    3. Did a restart
    I'd recommend trying the permissions and a restart first and if that doesn't help then try the command line fix.
    The first time I ran it without -v so got no feedback on what it was doing. Stopping it and trying to do it again gave me the message "Error: Index is already changing state.  Please try again in a moment." After the restart it now says:
    Indexing enabled.
              Scan base time: 2011-10-19 07:40:10 +0100 (60 seconds ago), reasoning: 'scan not required - avoided catchup scan'
    Now mail is back to how it was before the 10.7.2 update, happy days.

  • Image Capture no longer working with Canon MG3250

    I’m getting an error message when trying to scan from my Canon MG3250 using Image Capture this is over wifi but plugging in the USB cable doesn’t make any difference. Printing is working as normal.
    I’ve used Image Capture to scan previously without any problem and have the drivers installed from Apple.
    Open Image Capture, selected the scanner, which now has a generic icon. I get the following error message:
    "Software for this device is not installed.  
    Scanning software for this printer is currently unavailable
    Please contact the printer’s manufacturer for the latest software." 
    I tried Preferences>Printers & Scanners. Selected the Scan Tab and Open Scanner. This launched the printer utility Canon MG3200 series. I clicked on the Scanner icon. Where I get the same error as above.
    Normally the software would auto download from Apple, but clearly looking at the Console log there seems to be a problem at Apple’s end:
    Console log:
    20/05/2014 19:28:36.141 PrintUITool[411]: There are 2 drivers posted for Canon MG3200 series. Software Update server configuration must be wrong.
    I've worked around the problem by going to Canon’s website and downloaded the scanning software:
    http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/ InkJet/PIXMA_MG_series/PIXMA_MG3250.aspx?type=download&page=1
    I used IJ Network Scanner Selector EX to select the scanner and Canon IJ Scan Utility to scan, which worked after I made sure Image Capture was closed.
    This doesn't fix the issue with scanning in Image Capture however.

    Issue resolved by Paul Huntley on another discussion board.
    "To scan with Image Capture you need to install the ICA v3.1.0 driver for selected Canon devices. This is a different driver package to the MG3200 Scanner driver that includes the Canon IJ Scan utility and does not work with Image Capture."
    Installing the ICA driver resolved the issue and I can now scan again with Image Capture. I still don't know why it stopped working in Mavericks, or why Apple didn't auto install the driver when required.

  • Image Capture no longer working with Samsung SCX-4500W

    Out of the blue, Image Capture is no longer working with my scanner (Samsung SCX-4500W). Until today, I have had no problems, but now Image Capture will only complete the "overview" but not the "scan" itself. I get the message that the "scanner reported an error." I have tried restarting, unplugging cables, etc. but nothing works. I don't think there is a problem with the scanner itself -- it is able to scan using the built-in "scan to PC" function, but not Image Capture. I am using OS X 10.6.1. Any suggestions?

    Try running a repair disk permissions. This is done via the Disk Utility application. Reply if you need help to do this.
    Also, do you have another application you can scan with? Note that Preview will use Image Capture, so you need some other application. As a test, you could download Picasa from Google which works well with TWAIN scanners.

    Hello,
    I am using a Toshiba LX830 with Windows 8.1.

  • 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 switch isn't working

    http://wendysawesomeart.com/
    Hi,
    The gallery button in the menu isn't switching out when I hover over it. The other buttons work. When I look at the code, it seems to be the same but with different images referenced. I've doublechecked to be sure the images are different and they are.
    I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but can't figure out what it is.
    Thanks for your help.

    Change this -
    onMouseOver=MM_swapImage('gallery-button','','images/hover-gallery.jpg',1)">
    to this -
    onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('gallery-button','','images/hover-gallery.jpg',1)">

  • Does Wireless Image Capture work???

    Hi,
    I today tried around to get Image Capture in Tiger working with my Sony Ericsson S700i over bluetooth. However Image Capture does not recognize any picture on there. I also tried the same with the Sony Ericsson K700i of my girlfriend.
    Is there anybody out here who uses Image Capture to download photos/videos/sounds from his/her mobile over bluetooth?
    Apple doesn't even provide a list of supported phones - if you ask them, they can't give you any further information. However it seems to be one of the 200+ new features in Tiger, well on of the less working...
    (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/imagecapture/)
    Please tell me your experience with this tool using it for connecting to wireless cameras and camera-phones. I would love to get it work here!

  • OS X LION Issues with Full-Screen; iPhoto, Image Capture & Mail

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing un-Apple-like issues (bugs) with Lion in Full-Screen mode.
    For example - iPhoto doesn't seem to like Full-Screen mode. If iPhoto is open and I connect a camera, for which I prefer Image Capture to retrieve my pics... Image Capture opens 'behind' the full-screen iPhoto, but I can't get to it. Image Capture shows as open on the menu bar in iPhoto's full-screen mode. If I go to the desktop (where it should be opening) Image Capture isn't 'on top' and clicking it takes me back to iPhoto full-screen
    Similarly, if I get mail and return to the desktop (the only way to see the dock) and I click on the 'Mail' app icon - I am catapulted into Image Capture... or iPhoto. Returning to the Desktop to click the Mail icon from the dock... takes me to Image Capture... or iPhoto. The 3rd try takes me to the Mail.app which is usually always open and in full-screen mode.
    While I'm complaining about bugs, I'd like to mention that I am fully dismayed by the loss of control in full-screen mode when using apps such as Mail or iPhoto. The Mail app opens an email to edit (such as a reply) but you can't access any other mail docs to 'cut and paste' info from. I can only click SEND or CANCEL.
    What if I don't want to CANCEL? I just want to go to another email and cut a piece to paste.. I have to exit full-screen mode which allows me to open two email documents at once, then cut and paste. Essentially Mail in Full-Screen is only a reader... not a work area. I can only access the document I have open, since it greys out the Message Viewer. You can't click on the message viewer nor access any of the features of Mail.app. You can only write your email and either Cancel or Send. Where is the 'hold on a second while I go cut and paste'? I don't want to cancel.
    Can't seem to use Safari since I'm constantly three-finger swiping it away. My cursor hovers over a text field and suddenly it's zooming in and locks text input. I have to iPhone-like swipe to expand to exit this inadvertent partial (very slight) zoom. Sometimes the zoom is so partial that I can't figure out what's going on until I just exit full-screen mode, close the window and start over.
    Seems like I'm starting over and over and over... just to do simple things. Inadvertent zooming, inadvertent 3-finger returning to Desktop, inadvertent changing apps... ugh.
    I'm willing to let go of the old and embrace the new future but so far it's been pretty uncomfortable for me to constantly monitor my overly sensitive trackpad gesturing combined with constant bugs and glitches. I'll save complaining about iPhoto's over-simplification (apparently for dummies) like the new Edit menu, Export menu, etc.. since it's more iLife than Lion related. Rate Lion: 2 out of 5 stars for ease of use & features complicated by unrefined software issues.

    I've tried follwoing these instructions but I have an issue with
    # Create snort user. The intention is to let user snort have access only to the snort database.
    $ sudo createuser -U _postgres -P snort
    Password:
    Enter password for new role:
    Enter it again:
    Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n
    Shall the new role be allowed to create databases? (y/n) n
    Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) n
    It keeps telling me "could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to server: No such file or directory"
    I'm running OSX Mountain Lion, and have verified using serveradmin status postgres that it is up and running.

  • Image capture, can't scan

    I have an epson 2480 scanner that worked with image capture in tiger. After upgrading to Leopard, it seems that I can no longer scan. Image Capture speaks to the scanner (the scanner will scan a preview when I launch image capture), but the scan button is greyed out.
    This ***** because I would use image capture to share the scanner with other users in my group. Now, the only way to scan is to sit at the computer that is hooked up to the scanner and scan there using the epson scan software.
    If anyone has any ideas as to how to re-enable image capture scanning, I would love to hear it.
    On another note, image capture does not work on any local account on the machine, whether admin or standard.
    Thanks for any advice...

    As far as sharing the scanner using image capture, browse to the scanner (devices > browse devices), then click on the sharing button on the bottom left of the window...You can share the device from there, and add a password if necessary...
    Cool when it works!
    However, you cannot have more than 1 computer at a time using the scanner, so if another person has image capture open (but isn't using the scanner), you need to make them quit....
    Still, this works pretty well (well, at least it did work pretty well
    BTW-I thought I had installed the latest driver, but I will try again and see.....
