Image Capture Stopped Working on MacPro

Attempted to scan material with my Epson Perfection 2450 PHOTO with Image Capture on my MacPro and received error message that "No camera or scanner connected." I have used this scanner with Image Capture routinely in the past with no problem.
When I switched to "EPSON Scan as an option, it worked without changing anything. Also, I physically moved my scanner to my MacBook Pro, and it worked perfectly with Image Capture.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It all started with: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL900
The solution:
Delete - /Library/Image Capture/Devices/EPSON Scanner.app
Steps - quit image capture, unplug scanner, delete app, plug scanner in again
Reinstall old version of Epson scanner.app.
If you dont have the old version available, download from
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3429397/EPSON%20Scanner.app.zip
unzip, drag to /Library/Image Capture/Devices/
Restart Image capture.
And Voila, you can scan full page again...
Worked for me...

Why has Image Capture stopped working?

All of the sudden Image Capture it won't open. It used to open whenever I plugged my phone in. Now I can't even get the program up and running.
I tried this Pacifist thing, but it keeps telling me that the downloader or something isn't available in the iTunes store in Canada.
Can someone please help me please?
I even searched for iPhoto on my computer... nowhere to be found.

Something isn't making sense - you say you have a MacBook Pro Mid 2010 with 10.5 Leopard on it? But Snow Leopard is the version of Mac OS X that came with the Mid 2010 MacBook Pro. Perhaps you mean you have Snow Leopard installed which is 10.6, not 10.5?
In any event, sounds like there might be some serious disk issues going on - do you have a local Apple store nearby or an authorized Apple dealer?
If not, do you have an external disk that you might install a fresh copy of Mac OS X onto your system with the original DVD that it came on to do so? If so, I would recommend doing that and then copy as much of your personal stuff off the original disk as soon as possible before it gets any worse. Do you have a copy of DiskWarrior or some other disk repair/recover tool? If not, do you have a friend or mac user group who might be able to help?
Good luck.

Image Capture stopped working with Lexmark Pro915.

I use an imac (Late 2006) 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63). I use Image Capture to scan from a Lexmark Pro915 to my computer. I recently updated Image Capture to latest version and ever since when I try to scan to my printer I get the following dialogue box:
Choosing your scan profile
Follow the instructions to finish the scan job:
1. Load the original document into the ADF or on the scanner glass.
2. From the printer home screen, touch Scan > Scan Profile.
3. Select "your computer name" to begin your scan.
To cancel the scan job, click Abort.
I contacted Lexmark customer support (from whom I downloaded the latest Image Capture Update), and they want to charge $119 to fix the issue, which they say is due to a missing file.
Can anyone help please?

Image capture not working in lion

Well! After 10 years or so of OS X my Kodak DC 5000 no longer works in image capture after upgrading to OS X Lion. After connecting the camera and trying to import images, Image Capture says "no device connected".
Went to the loca shop and using the same camera and cable, successfully imported picts to the desktop under Snow lepard, so I know it's not the camera or cable. Been a mac user for decades! never had a problem with "plug and play" until this update!
Do I need to get a card reader now? New camera? Not happening as long as this one works(ed). Already lost Photoshop, but didn't mind as I bought Pixelmator. However, the Image Capture not working is a showstopper. Is this Apple's version of Vista? Help please!

Yes, I have iPhoto 9.1.5, I also used the prefs and this still is not working. The upgrade to OS X Lion broke my driver and I am not able to do transfer any pics from the camera.
I assume I will now need to buy a card reader.

Why does Image Capture stop recognizing Epson scanner after scanning several images? I have to stop and start the scanner in order for Image Capture to recognize it again.

Might be corrupted preferences (.plist)
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.image_Capture.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.image_Capture.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac and your scanner and try scanning an image.

Image Capture not working with 10.6.6

I use a Canon MP780 printer/scanner with my Macs. I have no printing problems. However, when I upgraded to Snow Leopard the Canon MP Navigator scanning software stopped working and Canon's downloaded driver update didn't resolve the problem. Despite conversations with a helpful Canon engineer they seemed unable to offer a solution. However, I started using Image Capture as a satisfactory solution and this has worked fine until I upgraded to 10.6.6. Now this has stopped working too - I just get the message 'No camera or scanner selected'. I tried installing the recent Apple Canon download (Dec 14th 2010) but it hasn't resolved the problem. I see that the MP780 scan function does not seem to be supported by Apple on a list they publish on the site, however.
I can still scan by using the printer dialogue box but it is very long-winded and not very satisfactory. Is there any hope of me being able to use Image Capture again with my scanner?

The MP Navigator application requires the [Canon MP780 scanner driver|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0900205301.html] to be installed. The Canon driver update from Apple does not include this full scanner driver, only a mini driver that lets you use the scanner via Image Capture/Preview.

I see that the MP780 scan function does not seem to be supported by Apple on a list they publish on the site, however.
The mini driver mentioned above is known as an ICA driver. Canon provides this package to Apple for software download and also has it for various models on their web site. Checking the Canon Australia web site, the MP780 does not list the ICA driver. And checking the Canon IJSCanner1 package located in Library > Image Capture > Devices, which is where this information gets copied to, the MP780 is not in the devices list. So this confirms what Apple has listed on the web but makes no sense how you were able to scan on 10.6.5 or how you are still scanning now via the Print & Fax section, which uses the ICA driver. I would not think that the .6 update would remove the MP780 from the device plist. I need to check a previous build when I get back to the office.
But in the meantime if you can still use the MP780 in Print & Fax then this is the same as what you get in Image Capture. If you click the Show Details tab in the scanner preview window then this may be what you were used to with Image Capture.
And I believe that if you install the full scanner driver then you will be able to use [MP Navigator v2.0.8|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0900182001.html].

Photoshop CS4 Image Processor Stopped Working

My workflow consists of tagging photos in Bridge then using Photoshop actions via the Image Processor from the Bridge tools>photoshop menu. All the sudden it stopped working, the image processor box doesn't pop up anymore. When choosing a folder manually through Photoshop, it says Sorry I Can't Complete The File...... (like it always says when it's successful) but nothing processes. I have reset all the factory settings.
OSX 10.5.8 w/ Adobe Suite CS4
I need to get this project finished today rather than wasting my whole weekend doing manual actions on nearly 2000 photos for the next week straight. This process has been successful for the past 3 years.
Thanks so much in advance for your time.
Mark

That must have been an ungodly degree of nesting.
The Image Processor is actually a plug-in script, written by Russell Brown. If you like it, you should try Dr. Brown's Services 2.0.2 (for CS4; for CS5 there's a later beta version available) by the same author and also free. It's like the Image Processor on steroids. I haven't used the latter for years, since installing Dr. Brown's Services.

Image Capture not working with Canon LiDE 500F

Image Capture version 6.0.424 and CanoScan LiDE 500F 11.2.5.0 does not work properly.
Regardless the resolution, the resulted file has a very small size.
As a test I scanned a 9x20cm document at different resolutions and for all resulted files 'Get Info' reported small dimensions: 69x147 pixels. It is interesting that the size of the file varies with resolution, but when opened in Preview or Acrobat Reader, the small size is used.
As for other reports, CanoScan Toolbox works properly.

Hello Liviu,
There has been a couple of posts regarding the same issue with Image Capture. Have a look at this one for example.
http://discussions.apple.com/watches!add.jspa?forumID=1344&threadID=2272250
As I stated in this thread, I do not have this problem with Image Capture and my LiDE 200 or my MP980 AIO. So there must be something with the drivers used by these older model of Canon scanners when using Image Capture.
I haven't seen anyone provide a solution as yet so you may need to escalate this to Canon if you have a need to use Image Capture.

Image Capture not working anymore

I use Image Capture to get photos off my Canon XSi. Lately, it hasn't been working. Image Capture shows 26 CR2 icons (without the camera even being plugged in), but won't show their thumbnail previews. It won't download them, and I can't delete them, either. It also won't recognize any new photos I've taken with the camera when it is plugged in. The only thing I've done recently that might have caused this is I installed a new scanner (Epson V300). I've tried deleting the Epson scanner driver, deleting Image Capture's preferences, and even deleting Image Capture and reinstalling it using Pacifist. The 26 ghost icons still haunt me. Furthermore, I still have device windows for the Epson scanner (two of them, for some reason) even though I uninstalled all the Epson stuff. Any other ideas?

Yes, I have iPhoto 9.1.5, I also used the prefs and this still is not working. The upgrade to OS X Lion broke my driver and I am not able to do transfer any pics from the camera.

Updating the camera's clock with "Image Capture" not working

In Mac OS X 10.4 I used the application "Image Capture" to synchronise the camera’s clock with the clock of my Mac.
Since updating to Mac OS X 10.5 this feature isn’t working anymore. I still get the option in the options panel for the camera, but the time isn’t updated.
The camera is correctly set up, as it still works with my Mac OS X 10.4 iBook.
Is this a problem with my Mac or is this a bug in Mac OS X 10.5?
Is there a way to fix this problem?

What camera? I have had the same problem with a Nikon D70. Nikon Transfer has the same feature, and I can't get it to work on Leopard either.

Image capture not work with ios5

Image capture/iphoto couldn't recognize my iphone4 after update it to ios5.

I WAS having the same problem. With the introduction of photo stream, Apple currently is not allowing you to use the photo stream option concurrently with the manual import option with Image Capture. You have to choose one. My situation was that I had old picture on my iphone which were not being streamed and I hate using iPhoto.
This is what you have to do to use Image Capture on Mac... again...
1. Disable photo stream on your iphone
2. Connect iphone to mac
3. Open image capture
4. Your iPhone will show up under devices and proceed normally
5. Voila!
Rationale: Like I said, since Apple does not give you the option to use both features (manual import via Image Capture or photo stream) you have to choose one, and by disabling photo stream on iphone, it lets you import images via Image Capture as you would normally.
You can use Keaggy's method, but I hate iPhoto. iPhoto does not let you choose your own directory which is annoying.
So those who want to go back to your regular ways, use the method above.

Why has my "similar" mouseover feature in GOOGLE image search stopped working?

When I clear cache and cookies it will work properly for awhile in Foxfire 4, but after resetting my GOOGLE preferences, it stops working properly once again. The earlier version of Foxfire did not have this problem. Also, the "similar" feature continues to work fine in Explorer.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Image loading stopped working

i've been using Photoshop CS3 on XP daily for two years now on my current laptop with no problems. Two weeks ago, someone asked to borrow my laptop to work on a Max model for half an hour. He said Photoshop wasn't working and sure enough, it's not and hasn't since. i have no idea what he did but i can't fix it
Symptom: Opening or creating a file (any size or format) takes ~5 minutes
Everything else works at the same speed as before. i can edit, save, resize, copy between open images, etc. as normal. It is only creating a new image or opening an existing one that is in trouble
What i've checked so far:
1. Resources: 4GB RAM, dual core, verified that there's ample CPU and memory free
2. PS prefs: Avail RAM > RAM ideal range. Scratch disk has 6GB free
3. Default printer is local
4. No other image program has a problem
5. Deleted the prefs file
6. i have no plug-ins
6. Scanned for viruses
7. Uninstalled PS
8. Uninstalled full Adobe suite, including acrobat
9. Uninstalled video driver
10. Ran registry cleaners to make sure reinstall is from scratch
11. Googled for several days
12. Screamed really loud
None of this has seemed to fix the problem. The only thing left is to reinstall the OS, which is the computer equivalent of murdering your children, burning down your house, salting the ground and then praying to elder gods for a miracle. i'm hoping for something slightly less drastic and irreversible
i don't get any error messages, there is no blue screen, no new software has been installed since the last time it worked propery, every single other program i have works just fine (ruling out new hardware failures) and i rarely hear scary music (which might indicate the prescence of ghosts and poltergeists)
This program has run on this machine with this configuration for a couple of years with no troubles. i suspect the Max model this person opened was in someway corrupt and somehow screwed something up but i have no idea what it might be
Any guesses?

Athough you say the default printer is local, did your "friend" install any other printer when he had it?
Did he run it on a network?
I would uninstall all printers and just install the one you use .
You could also try setting a generic printer as default.
If you don't have one, download it here:

Tethered Capture stopped working –"No Camera Detected"

Windows 7 (64bit)
Lightroom 3.3
Canon 7D – Latest firmware 1.2.3
Yesterday I had Tethered Capture working a treat. No problems at all.
Today I have attempted to use it – exactly the same set up as yesterday and Lightroom refuses to see the camera – it just says “No Camera Detected” in the Tethered Capture pop-up.
Windows can see the camera, and shows the CF card content in Windows Explorer. The Canon utility can see the camera. Even Lightroom can see the camera and can import from the CF card in the camera.
Whenever the USB cable is connected, if I look through the viewfinder and press the shutter a flashing busy light comes up, and no photo is taken. Makes me wonder what the camera is doing? Is it perhaps looking for an application on the PC to talk to?
Yesterday it was running fine with the USB cable plugged into a hub, I tried with it connected directly to the PC but it didn’t help.
I even tried removing power from the PC and restarting Windows – that usually fixes anything :-)
I have Googled and searched these forums but have found nothing that helps.
Is this an Adobe problem, a Canon problem – or am I doing something daft?
Anyone any thoughts?
Many thanks,
RzB

OK - so today I bring the camera and tripod back to the PC today, and hey presto - is all starts working again.
The PC had not even been restarted since it wasn't working yesterday.
Anyone got any ideas why it might not have been working yesterday?
Thanks,

Why did tethered capture stopped working on laptop with windows 8

It had been working great but something happened between December 2013 and March 2014 and now it does not work on my laptop which is running windows 8. If I plug into the desktop everything works fine. I suspect there was an update that is not working right. Any ideas?
