'Import All' is disable at Image Capture

Hi!!
I just upgrade to Yosemite, and when I insert an SD (only photos) to my MacBook Pro, the Image Capture program shows up. But when I want to import all media, the button 'Import All' is disable.
Does any one knows why is happening this?
This is the same SD that I was using with my Canon, and did not had this problem with Mavericks.
Thanks a lot in advanced.

Thanks Glenn Leblanc!
I think there is a problem with the software.
I tried this:
1. Hide the 'Devices' list.
2. Show the 'Devices' list.
3. Then selected the SD, and magically the 'Import All' button became available.
Even if you select 1 file from the list, the button is available.
Greetings!!

IPhoto Doesn't Import All of My Raw Images

I am using a Canon 10D (which is a supported device) to take pictures in RAW format (".crw" extension). I also have a relatively new MacBook with iPhoto 6 and have downloaded all the recent iPhoto updates. The problem is that when attempt to I import my RAW images, iPhoto only imports the first 3 or 4 images and then stops importing the rest. The screen looks as if it is continuing to import the images, but nothing is actually happening. Once I stop the import process, only the first few images that were imported show up in my library and the rest remain on my camera as if nothing ever happened.
Those first 3 or 4 images that I am able to import look great and I have no problems viewing and editing them in iPhoto. Does anyone have any advice on what I should try?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Are there movies shot with the camera on there as well? This can often cause this issue.
Two possible workarounds:
1. Use Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) to copy the files to the desktop, and then import them from there.
2. Use a USB card reader to mount the card on the desktop, then import them from there.

TS3195 My mac mini (Snow Leopard, v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone 4, iphone 4s or ipad2 in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview but it does in iTunes. I am at a loss for importing photos, short of emailing them. Glitch with OS X 10.6.8 ?

My Mac Mini (v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone as a device in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview although, iTunes does. I am at a loss for importing photos other than emailing them to myself. Same problem with my iphone 4, iphone 4s, ipad2 and New iPad. Is this a problem with OS X 10.6.8 as I read some posts claim? Please help.

I was able to import photos in iPhoto and Image capture when I was running SL 10.6.8 on my older MacBook.
Did you try quitting everything, restart the Mac and then try again?
Are there any updates at all for the Mac? I was helping one user not all that long ago and there were updates for her Mac software that had nothing to do with the OS and when she downloaded the updates - the iPad was then recognized in iTunes.

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,

I can't import my photos from my iPhone 4 by iPhoto or image capture

i can't import my photos from my iPhone 4 by iPhoto or image capture.
i tried to import but in iphoto or image capture, there is no iphone in device list (they can't reconize iphone)
but itunes reconize my iphone.
p.s. my iphoto, iOS, OS X are newest version.

Hi,
I had this problem.
I don't know the best way to resolve this but i tell you how i did it.
1 - I saved my iphone on the mac.
2 - I restaure it with 5.0.1
3 - Itunes have restaured the origin ios 5.0.1 and use the save to restaure the apps, datas, photos...
After the restaure, the iphone was seen on itunes and iphoto and others...
Best regards, Henry.

HT201269 ibook stopped transferring images via image capture. last month it worked. i hav an old ibook and i cannot update to newest itunes. which is fine. however, i need the image capture to take photos off my iphone 5. no, i dont want to use i cloud.

ibook stopped transferring images via image capture. last month it worked. i hav an old ibook and i cannot update to newest itunes. which is fine. however, i need the image capture to take photos off my iphone 5. no, i dont want to use i cloud. i would actually like to just plug it in to the usb drive the old fashioned way

I don't believe the iOS7 update was the cause for your issue. I have three devices all updated and they all show the Import To drop menu in Image Capture as shown below.

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.

Issue with Image Capture with Lion

I have a Lion. My camera is a Nikon D700
I have Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4
Recently downloaded Lightroom 4.1 connected my memory card reader to upload photos . Lightroom 3 opens and not Lightroom 4 to import the photos.
Checked Image capture application to change preferences - there is no preferences in image capture (Lion) My scanner is the only device that is shown.
Please advise how I change for image capture to open the correct Lightroom version.
thank you

Hi Frank
I have a Lexar card reader - being using it for years no problem -
I have again gone into image capture have notice the camera import process. I never had previously hat to worry about Image capture as my photo import ran smoothly with Lightroom 3 opening up automatically.
In Image capture there are options to where the photos need to be imported to. Only iPhoto option provided no Lightroom - Under "other" I typed in Lightroom 4.
However, the import process began without Lightroom 4 opening and the photos started to be imported in to the pictures folder ( this I do not want to happen) as I want Lightroom 4 to open .
However, there is no option to change from pictures folder - there is no option for Lightroom 4 , were it says "other: can I change to Lightroom 4?
As Lightroom option is not given , I chose "other" and inserted Lightroom 4 . When attaching my card reader , Lightroom 4 did not open to import only the pictures folder. Please confirm that I need to change to import to Lightroom 4 instead of the pictures folder. _
If this is so must I change the option from other to Lightroom 4 , even though I have already indicated " connecting this camera to....... see attachment.
Also I see there is an option to tick " delete after import" must this be checked?
See attachment
I have not attached the screen shot as in the reply window there is no option to do this

I accidentally erased image capture!!

I accidentally erased Image Capture while getting rid of some HP software, and now I can't upload pictures from my camera. Is there anyway of reinstalling this from my OS X disc??
Thanks,
Krista

OK, I re-installed Image Capture, but I am still unable to import my photos from my camera. Before, when I would connect the camera, iPhoto would open and it would ask me if I would like to import the contents of the camera. It still just opens iPhoto, but it doesn't ask if I would like to import. When I go to the "file" menu and choose "import photos", my camera isn't in Finder, therefore still can't import.
When I opened Image Capture, it just says "waiting for device", but nothing happens...
Can anybody help???
Thanks,
Krista
P.S. When I tried connecting to my iMac (where I didn't accidentally erase image capture), I am able to import, so the problem isn't the camera...

Image Capture Extension how to enable

Hi,
I recently disabled the Image capture extension because it was consuming so much of my computers resources. I did it on my work user profile thinking it would be exclusive to this. But now I realise it was global for my user profiles. I need to turn it back on please.
I turned it off using this command in terminal:
cd "/System/Library/Image Capture/Support"
sudo mv "Image Capture Extension.app" "Image Capture Extension.app.disabled"
I'm using

Hi zb,
Thanks for your reply,
do you mean: sudo mv "Image Capture Extension.app"
I've already tried this and it didn't work for me.

Encore button thumbnail image capture - then disable

Hi all
One of the good features of encore, that is most useful for inexperienced users
is the button thumbnail image/video extraction
however the facility to retain the image capture seems locked with the functional button presence on the dvd menu
have i overlooked a method of disabling of this within encore without loss of image capture, or is it a photoshop requirement
Any suggestions
Regards
Robert

Hi John
your solution seems like the most workable solution so far for video display in this button thumbnail, this does work quite effectively although the button is still present.
thanks for this, heres some further solutions/info we have
PHOTO ONLY DISPLAY after firstly setting the link of the button to the relevant imported image timeline to complete thumbnail capture choose - convert the button to an object
this effectively traps the image capture and resolves the issues of navigation and retains the auto button route.
VIDEO DISPLAY
The preview feature - render motion menus may be a good solution for the video thumbnail however it is exported in mpg and the quality may be reduced
the render motion menus facility will compile a video from the items visible at any time.
example
Hide from view all non required items in the motion background ie other buttons and text items
excluding the thumbnail button and background
then by setting the link of the button to the relevant chapter or video to complete video capture
choose - render motion menus
encore compiles a video background with the video thumb nail included and saves it in the respective project sources/menus folder named Video_Bpgc_Asf.mpg
by importing a copy of this into your project (must be a copy)
and using this as the motion background to the menu, all navigation issues and auto button routing are solved
after of course deleting or disabling the respective button from the menu and reactivating all hidden buttons and text etc.
or am i being lazy and trying to avoid a jump to another software to do this ?
Regards
Robert

Image capture deleted all my photos from iPhone without transferring them to the harddisk. So now I've lost 427 photos due to some data error it says. Please help me get my pictures back!?!

I just wanted to back up my photos since I haven't done so since October 5th. I plugged in my iPhone and let Image Capture transfer the selected photos to the designated folder. Accidently I hit 'Import All but that's not the biggest problem. Apparently I had "Delete all after transfer" on AND 427 photos apparently "failed to transfer" as it said. I didn't think it was such a big problem, but then I noticed : what the ****.The delete all option was ON and now ALL my photos are gone, from the iPhone and NOT on the computer. Except a list of some old pictures I already have three backups and from the new ones between Oct 5 and this day I have a random selection >><!!!
So please help me! How do I get my pictures back? iPhone Data recovery? Please please help. There are so many nice memories of this month and I'm so ****** that this just happened!

If you have iCloud backup turned on or if you have recently backed up via iTunes you could restore the phone from either of those sources. Camera Roll photos are included in those backups. Be aware that doing a restore will replace the contents of the phone with the contents of the backup so you would lose anything new on the phone since the last backup. Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

How do I import an image to a message I'm composing in messages for mac without having to use image capture?

When I try to do this, I right-click in the compose area and click on "import image" and all I get is the image capture window which doesn't show anything. How do I do it from iphoto or another location such as the pictures folder?

I think that command is for getting a picture directly from a scanner or camera.
Just drag the photo you want from iPhoto onto the messages window.

How can I control dpi when importing with Image Capture?

This is not really an iPhoto question, but there is no forum for Image Capture - and I am hoping some iPhoto user has discovered a solution.
I usually import my digital camera images into a folder using Image Capture, apply Photoshop corrections, THEN move the adjusted and re-named images to iPhoto for organization and storage.
When I open the images for the first time in Photoshop, the Image Size box always shows the resolution as 72 dpi. I can easily convert this to 300 dpi in Photoshop, but I would prefer to avoid the extra step for every photo.
So far, I have not been able to find any setting in either my camera menus or Image Capture to change the default from 72 dpi to 300 dpi - any suggestions?
I am using Image Capture v3.0.3, Mac OS v10.4.11 and iPhoto v7.1.5
thanks,

Old Toad said: "If these services printed your files at 72 dpi you would end up with very large prints."
Obviously - which is exactly what I want to avoid!
In fact Photoshop tries to do that, warning me: "The image is larger than the paper's area, some clipping will occur."
Terence Delvin said: "When you print the density of those pixels will determine the quality of the print. So, change the density and the dimensions change. Change the dimensions and the density changes. See the relationship?"
Yes, I understand all that perfectly.
I guess my real question should have been:
"Are there any print services or page-layout-type software applications that honor the exif data and try to print or re-size using a print resolution of 72 dpi without making the user re-define the density to something more print friendly?
For example:
I have a 3936x2624 pixel image for which Photoshop's Get Info shows the print resolution as 72 dpi. If I drag that image into a Microsoft Word document, then Word does some kind of magic resizing to fit the image on the width of my 8.5x11" document. With margins, the image is now about 4x6". Looks good on my screen (but then even a 72 dpi image would, wouldn't it).
Obviously, MS Word downsized the image, but I can't find any way to make Word show me what print resolution it is choosing to assign to the resized image. It looks fine when printed, so I'm pretty sure that, in this case, something higher than 72 dpi was used.
If ALL software of this type (word processing and page layout) automatically ignores the 72 dpi print resolution in the EXIF data when resizing, then it's a non-issue, as you suggest. Lacking, much real world experience with print-based projects, I wasn't sure if it was something to worry about - apparently not?

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.
