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.

Image capture won't recognize Canoscan lide 700f

Hello. I have OS X, v. 10.6.7 I have been using Image Capture to run the Canoscan lide 700f scanner. Then, it stopped recognizing the scanner. Image capture is opened and says "no camera or scanner attached." The scanner is operational. The MAC sees the printer in systems preferences > hardware > print and fax. Any ideas on what I can do to get this scanner recognized by Image Capture again? Thanks for your help.

I had the problem with the same scanner and Lion. When the Mac would go to sleep, Image Capture would not recognize the scanner after it woke up. Had to unplug and replug the USB connector to get it to start correctly. I was blaming it on the scanner driver, but I accidently discovered that if I opened Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, all of a sudden the scanner would respond to an attempt to import from the scanner (to Elements). After that, Image Capture could talk to it just fine. So it appears that it is an Image Capture problem and not an issue with the Cannon driver.

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.

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:

IPhoto won't recognize camera for new user

I recently set up a user account for my daughter with "Some Limits" selected. She has access to almost all apps, including iPhoto 4.03. When she connects our Canon PowerShot SD100 camera neither iPhoto nor Image Capture recognize it. When I'm logged in as an administrator the camera is recognized and works fine with both apps. The iPhoto Library is in the Hard Drive\Users\Shared folder. "Look for Shared Photos" and "Share Entire Library" preferences are selected in iPhoto in both my daughter's and my admin accounts. How can I get iPhoto to recognize the camera when my daughter is logged in?

The steps outlined in the article fixed the problem
for both Image Capture and iPhoto. Thanks - never
would have figured that out in a million
Neither would I. Remembered a problem with a limited account similar to this. Then looked it up in SUPPORT for iPhoto

IPhoto and Image Capture won't recognize jpegs

Ok, yes I know this has been discussed, but I feel the solutions in previous threads were work arounds, not solutions to the actual problem.
I have a Kodak digital camera, and a MacBook pro (with the software up to date). I'm using iPhoto '09. I've used this combination for 3+ years without a problem. In the past when I plugged in my camera, iPhoto recognized the camera, and recognized the photographs, and imported them without a problem. Today when I plugged in the camera, it iPhoto recognized the camera, however it cannot recognize the jpegs on the camera, it gives the error "format not recognized." I have not (intentionally) changed any settings on the camera or iPhoto. What could have changed to make this combination work once before, but now no more?
-Randy

In your first post you say:
Ok, yes I know this has been discussed, but I feel the solutions in previous threads were work arounds, not solutions to the actual problem.
Correct. They are workarounds. There is no current solution.

Mountain Lion Image Capture won't recognize my Canon MP800 Scanner

My MP800 is able to print from my new iMac but it is not even recognized for scanning. Is this something that will be corrected soon? It's a bummer to have this perfectly good all-in-one printer/scanner from Canon and now it won't scan. Anyone have any suggestions? I already downloaded all the Canon drivers that are available for Mountain Lion. Still nothing.
I also tried using Preview ... same story.
Another writer had this concern with his Canon MP600.

Assuming you downloaded and installed these from the Canon website:

Then I would recommend you perform the following:
Your Model apparently needs to use Apple's "Print & Scan" which is found in Applications>System Preferences>"Print & Scan". There you will follow the following instructions from the HP Support site to Scan, for instance:
Place the item that you want to scan on the scanner glass, or load it into the automatic document feeder (ADF) if your printer has one.
Click the Apple menu (# ), and then click System Preferences .
Click Print & Scan (# ).
Click your printer in the left pane.
Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to change scan settings.Figure 4: Example of the Show Details scanning screen#
Change any scan settings as necessary, and then click Scan .NOTE: Make sure to select either the Flatbed mode or the Document Feedermode, depending on your printer and how you plan to scan.
Hope this helps

Image Capture doesn't recognize SD card

In Tiger I would pop in my SD card into a reader in my pcmcia slot and image capture would read it as a device and I could then use it to embed color profiles etc. as it downloaded to the correct folder.
Leopard's Image Capture won't recognize the card as a device. It will mount and I can pull from it like a flash drive in the finder window, but I would love to use Image Capture again.
Anybody know what happened?

I have filed a bug report with Apple.
I spoke on the phone with an Apple Developer Connection representative and have communicated with Apple via e-mail on a couple occasions now about this issue. They have had me follow some troubleshooting procedures and send them the results.
The bug report is still considered open, so they must be working on fixing the problem. Otherwise I would think they would have close the bug report by now. Maybe we'll see a fix in 10.5.2?
Also, I noticed the following interesting phenomenon: I made a disk image of my SD card and then ejected SD card. Upon mounting the disk image of the SD card, iPhoto launched, just as it used to under Mac OS X Tiger when I inserted my SD card. Intriguing!

Image Capture doesn't recognize iPhone and Camera anymore

Image Capture doesn't recognize my iPhone or my Fujifilm camera. I am pretty sure this happened after updating to Safari 4.0.2 and having to restart which I did today. Yesterday I was able to to browse through my devices.

I'm adding that iTunes has no problem reading the iPhone.

Image Capture will not recognize my camera or iPhone4?

After recent updates the image capture now reads "no camera or scanner selected" when my iPhone 4 and/or digital camera are connected. Why? Help? Anyone else with this problem...please have a solution!

Rebecca have you had the chance to restart or do a SMC reset? If not then please do see if that helps.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.

IPhoto suddenly won't recognize camera

I've been importing from my camera all day because I'm making a claymation short but it has stopped recognizing it for no apparent reason. It's a jvc everio hd camera, it still shows up in the finder but iphoto doesn't say anything. I haven't changed any of my settings, so I don't understand why it stopped working. image capture doesn't recognize it either. could I imported have too many photos? I don't want to start deleting things until I've finished and the piece is safely on a dvd, just in case something goes awry with imovie.
Thanks

I am having the identical error. I have an iPhone 4 and 2 macs, the phone is managed from an old G5 PowerMac and images are saved from it to Aperture for photos and videos go to iPhoto 11. The Mac is running 10.5.8. I last appear to have downloaded movies from iPhone4 to mac in December , the oldest video being 10 Dec 2010.
This week I was going to back up a handful of images on the phone but after connecting it to the mac, something that happens several times a week to sync to itunes for app updates etc I found it did not list for import options in iPhoto nor in Aperture. I looked at Image Capture and that tells me no device is connected.
I have no problems taking images off the phone using a MBP which has 10.6 and Image Capture recognises the phone.
I have tried the following after reading through all the discussions on the topic of which there appear to be many with this problem.
Restore the iphone then update settings from archive. - did nothing
Closed apps reconnected iPhone started apps... - did nothing
Switched phone off then on then connected to mac then opened apps - nothing
This Mac seems happy to communicate t othe phone though iTunes but appears to have lost the way when it comes to getting images off the iPhone. Any help keenly appreciated.

Image capture doesn't recognize iphone

OS X 10.7.4, iphoto 11, iphone 4, ios 5.xx
-I have photos on iphone that are not in photo stream, and videos as well, that I want to download
-image capture does not recognize the iphone as a device when I launch it. It does not autostart even though I set the IMAGECAPTURE option in iPhoto preferences
-itunes does see the phone
-iphoto does not see the phone and does not have the missing images - I cannot manually import anything from any device
-Activity monitor shows a new copy of ptpcamera each time I plug in the iPhone to the USB cable
-restarting iPhone/iTUnes/iPhoto/Mac have no effect
Something changed with the latest iPhoto/iTunes combination

Found the resolution in another thread. Have to go to iPhoto preferences and set Image Capture to open when a camera is plugged in. Then it should auto start.

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 capture (Canon 9950F)

I have recently bought a Canon 9950F for a specific project. It replaced an Epson Perfection 2450 Photo which worked perfectly but was limited in the size (area) of its film scanning capabilities. I have used a range of software including VueScan and Silverfast v6.6 but the most direct scanning tool I have used is Image Capture. The feature that I really like with Image Capture is the ability to select multiple scan areas in the 'preview' and have Image Capture scan them as a batch. The project I am working on (family archive photos, documents and film negs of various formats) really makes the most of this feature.
I have moved over to the Canon 9950F and immediately noticed that Image Capture does not see the film scanning feature of the 9950F. It scans documents exactly as the Epson 2450 did but does not offer the option of scanning film or transparency, only documents on the flatbed. I have updated the Canon Drivers and the scanner is visible under System Prefs > Printers. VueScan and SilverFast recognise the scanner (but neither have the selectable scanning feature that Image Capture offers) and Photoshop Elements 10 also sees the scanner under File > Import.
Has anyone experienced this problem and, if so, is there a 'work around'.
Many thanks.
iMac 24", Intel Core 2 Duo, 3Gb RAM, OS10.6.8,
