Image Capture won't allow us to save...

When we go to Applications > Image Capture it automatically turns on our scanner and scans in the image or document, HOWEVER, the scan button in the program is always grayed out, so we can't save the image/document anywhere. What are we doing wrong?
We tried to find some documentation on the 'Image Capture' program but we couldn't find any, not even from Apple Can anyone help us sort this issue out?

It's waiting for you to tell it what it should scan. Sounds silly but it's true.
Click and drag in the Preview window do drag out a box for it to scan inside of and the Scan button will un-grey.

Image Capture won't recognize camera under other user log in

Image Capture won't recognize cameras under another other users log in on the same computer even though it works perfectly under the main user log in. Can some body hep me pleeze? What am I doing wrong or how can I let my daughter use her digital camera under her log in?

Hi G-Man,
It's probably something in the Preferences folder; Users/herusername/Library/Preferences. Start by removing com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist and trying again. If that doesn't do it drag the entire Preference folder to the desktop, log out and back in. Launch it again and if it works you can either reset preferences for all System Preferences and apps or drag the preferences files a group at a time back to the new Preference folder in Library and test Image Capture each time. That way you can narrow it down to the one offending preference file.

Image capture won't recognize my ScanSnap iX500. How do I make them work together?

Image capture won't recognize my ScanSnap iX500. How do I make them work together?

To use Image Capture you need an ICA driver for your scanner. Checking the Fujitsu web site for drivers for the iX500 I only see a ScanSnap manager for OS X. No mention of an ICA driver. So you may need to contact your local Fujitsu support.

Mountain Lion won't allow me to save photos from Mail directly to iPhoto (as you could in all other recent OSX). Tried opening iPhoto and then click/drag each photo onto iPhoto icon on dock (as Help instructed) but the photo will not drag. Suggestions?

I have real a lot of posts that say to click Command+Option while opening iPhoto and this will open the Photo Library Repair window, but... this is not happening.
Be sure you're holding the correct keys and that you're holding them long enough. Depress them before clicking on iPhoto and don't let go until the menu shows up.
If you don't want to lose those photos, make a back up now. Hopefully it's not too late.

Pages won't allow me to save document, can't gain permission to documetns

Pages won't allow me to save documents, as it claims I don't have permission to access Documents or any other folder I try save anything in. I have gone to file info, made sure documents and all other folders are unlocked, and on the file I have permissions to read and write. Yet despite this, Pages keeps insisting I don't have permission. What can I do?

I have also tried the Disk utility repair function but that did nothing.

"Could not save as 'filename' because of a program error." Won't allow me to save in ANY format!

I have a large file (3500x8300px) that i have been working on in Photoshop CS4 and i tried to save it after working on it for about 30 minutes and got the following message: "Could not save as 'filename' because of a program error." I tried saving it as .psd, .pdf, .tif, even .jpg and received the same message each time. I closed down all other software to ensure that there was enough memory available but to no avail. I then just closed my MBP and waited until the next day hoping it was just a glitch and might work later on. I opened it up the next day (forgetting about the save issue) and worked on the file for a few more hours and then tried saving it again. (that's when i remembered the issue...too late...the work was already done). Nope...still won't let me save it. I'm afraid i'll have to restart the program but cannot afford to lose this work. Any thoughts on how to fix it?
*note: i tried 'save for web' and it allowed me to save it as a flattened image (although rather slow due to filesize) but i need it in a layered format.
ANY HELP would be much appreciated!
Thanks.
**(I'm running PS CS4 v. 11.0.2 on a MBP 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 and have Lion OS X 10.7.2.)

There's a long-standing issue in which Windows 7 Explorer sometimes gloms onto image files in the process of caching thumbnails in Thumbs.db files. Thing is, Windows 7 itself no longer uses these files, because a new thumbnail caching subsystem has been implemented that uses a central database, but the Thumbs.db creation has been maintained by default for compatibility. The good news is that you can turn it off via the Local System Policy editor, to get some relief from file access conflicts.
Do you have Windows 7?
If ao, and you have no legacy apps that need Thumbs.db files, you can do this:
Click Start, type gpedit.msc into the search box, and hit Enter.
When the Local Group Policy Editor comes up, navigate into:
> User Configuration
> Administrative Templates
> Windows Components
> Windows Explorer
Right-click the entry Turn off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files and choose Edit.
Enable the setting.
Log off Windows and back on.

Image Capture won't scan: Canon MP 610

Hello,
I experience a strange bug in Image Capture which I use together with my Canon MP610. When I put a document on the scanner Image Capture will show a preview and then scan the document. This works fine.
Sometimes I need to make some manual corrections by using the button "show details" and then resize the scan area after the program has analyzed the picture. After I made the corrections I hit the "Scan" button but Image Capture will return with the message "Scanner has reported an error" and "An error occurred during scanning".
I first thought it might be a driver related problem as I recently updated the drivers from the Canon site. Before I installed the Canon drivers and used the OSX drivers all worked fine.
So I removed all drivers from Canon and hoped the Mac would use the old drivers again. That didn't work either as the system couldn't seem to find any usable driver anymore. I reinstalled the Canon drivers and all works well again except for the Image Capture program.
As long as I don't use the "Show Details" button the scanner works just fine. But as soon as I make some manual corrections the scanner error message pops up and the scanner won't scan the adjusted preview.
So I know for sure the Mac sees the scanner and can control it as the scanner does deliver the images to the folder I specify, but I can't do any manual corrections.
I already deleted the file "com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist" but that didn't solve the problem. It appears to be a bug in the program itself or a conflict between the app and the drivers from Canon. How can I revert back to the drivers that my Mac used before I installed the Canon drivers?
Thanks!

Thanks PAHU that were a lot of drivers for sure in your link and I installed those. Unfortunately, nor the driver package nor the ICA driver did solve my problem. I'm beginning to think it might just be a bug within Image Capture, although Image Capture is stating the scanner is reporting an error. Strange thing is that Image Capture will work fine as long as I hide the details pane.
It seems to be an isolated problem too as I can't find any other subject on this on the net. I see more people having trouble to scan images with Image Capture but that's mostly related to not selecting the right part of the preview. I will see if I can reinstall Image Capture from the OSX dvd.

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.

Image Capture won't scan to Photoshop

I just downloaded Lion (10.7.2) and everything works fine, except ...
When scanning through Image Capture, it won't open the scanned images in Photoshop (CS4) when set to do so. It will open in any other program I try (Preview, Illustrator, etc ...) but not Photoshop.
When I scan an image with PS set as the "scan to" app, Photoshop will open, but it doesn't open the image. Instead, Image Capture opens a "scan results" dialog box with the name of the image and a magnifying glass icon that shows me that the image has been saved in my "pictures" folder. I'm clearly choosing the PS app, and not the PS folder in Image Capture, but for some reason it doesn't know what to do with the image when it gets there. Again, the PS app OPENS, but the image doesn't. It just dumps it in the "pictures" folder.
By all accounts, Photoshop seems to be working properly. I can click on a scanned image and open it with Photoshop manually. Scanned images just won't open in PS automatically through Image Capture like they used to before I upgraded to Lion.
I tried rebooting and repairing permissions just for the heck of it, but those did nothing. Image Capture has no problem recognizing my scanner (Brother MFC 6490CW) and I made sure to download the latest driver for it.
I'm really at a loss as to why this is occuring. If anyone has a theory, I'd love to hear it. Scanning stuff into Photoshop is my job basically, so this is driving me crazy.

I can duplicate that behaviour, best file it as a Bug with Apple if you have a Developer ID ?
http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/
I will file it also and see what response I get.
BR filed: I note that in testing this if I set the Import To selector to Preview, Mail and iPhoto it behaves as expected so it's possible this is an Adobe issue not an Apple one. Might be worth looking in their support forums to see if anyone elase has this and has found a work-around.

Image Capture won't launch

I went to try to turn OFF the iPhoto auto launching feature today and Image Capture will not launch.
The 184k app is right there in my Apps folder, but nothing.
Any clues other than a system restore?
I've never looked, but is there a custom incremental restore that allow me to grab just that app off the original system disks? (if needed)

Did you read this part of the article
If you’d like to reinstall applications that aren’t offered in the Custom Install screen—applications in the Utilities folder, for example—you can use Charles Srstka’s $20 Pacifist. It works this way:
Insert your Mac OS X Installer disc. Download Pacifist and launch it. In the window that appears click the Open Apple Install Discs button. A window will appear offering you the single choice to look at the OSInstall package. Click OK.
Pacifist will churn away for a bit and then you’ll see a window titled OSInstall.mpkg. In this window you can dig down through the hierarchy of folders to find what you seek or you can enter the name of what you’re after in the Find field and press Return. A drawer appears that lists the names of matching files.
To install an item click the Install button in the upper-left corner of the window. You’ll be prompted for your administrator’s password. Enter it, click OK, and the item will be installed into its proper location on your Mac’s hard drive.
There is no preference for Image Capture in iPhoto v5.
Sorry - my error - in iPhoto 5 that preference is in image capture to select image capture, iPhoto or no application - so you can't deal with that until you restore image capture

Mountain Lion Image Capture won't recognize my Canon MP600 Scanner

I'm not sure when it happened as I don't use my scanner all that much but at some point in the last month or so Image Capture can'is no longer able to see my scanner. It's a multi function Canon MP600 printer/scanner. I can still print but no go on scanning. I checked out the Canon site for drivers/updates but there are none. System Report sees the MP600 and like I said, I can print just not scan. I'm running 10.8.2.
Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated.
Joe

This might have been my fix, too. I did as this instructed; however, after installing v.2.11 from Apple's site and deleting the printer, then adding it back again (I also unplugged and replugged the printer), nothing changed.
I then did as "noseyp" below suggested and at the Canon site added the scanner driver for Mac OS 10.7. That process (after I bypassed my security roadblock), required a computer restart.
So was is it v.2.11 installation (plus the restart) that made the difference? Or was it the 10.7 scanner driver? I won't know.
I'd suggest to anyone to do as "legendarybc" suggested, but then do restart your computer. If that doesn't work, then add the 10.7 scanner driver from:

Mac won't allow me to save anything to external HD.

I have an early 2011 MacBooc Pro and I have a brand new never used 500GB HP portable Hard drive, whenever I attempt to save anything or transfer anything from the HD it will not allow me?
Something about permissions...
I know its vague I'm completely idiotic when it comes to computers.
Any help would be appreciated.

maybe it's because your Hard drive format. is it NTFS? If it is in NTFS format, then your macbook pro won't allow you to write data on your HDD, it's only allow you to copy data from your HDD into your macbook pro's drive.
I suggest that you buy software Paragon NTFS for your mac, or you can simply re-format your HDD into exFAT, because mac osx is now fully support exFAT format. To do this, you can simply format it using windows based PC or using Disk utility in your macbook. hope it helps!
