IPhone 4 not recognized by Image Capture

help! so i'm trying to transfer photos i've taken with my iphone to my mac. when i open image capture, the iphone doesn't pop up as a recognizable device. tried to google the issue and to no avail... any help is appreciated! thanks

I had the same issue and when I searched for a solution, all I found was your question. So I messed around a bit and got it working.
I'm no computer engineer, so I did about 3 things at once rather than 1 at a time. Thus, I don't know if it was one step or a series of steps that got things working again so I'll tell you what I did and you can take it from there.
I had the iphone 4 connected with the cable. I had image capture running. It listed the proper number of images but I couldn't see the thumbnails and when I downloaded all, the newest ones didn't download.
In image capture, I went to the devices menu and clicked "browse devices" and unchecked iphone. Then I did a hard reset of the iphone by pressing the home and power button at the same time until the apple logo appeared. Image capture said no devices were connected. After the reboot (while still plugged into the USB), image capture showed my phone and all the thumbnails correctly.
I'm guessing it was just the reboot that did the trick.
good luck.

    My imac with lion installed will not recognize my canoscan 4400f scanner. My white macbook is fine.
    I have tried using Cannon software and it tells me no driver is found.

  • Canon PIXMA 860 and 560 not recognized by Image Capture

    I can scan from the printers to my MacBook. And I go to System Prefernces / Printers and Faxes and both are shown as printers and as scanners. I can open from their and scan but when I open image capture it doesn't find any scanners.
    I down loaded and installed both the newest canon printer and scanner drivers as well as the newest ICA driver. Still they are not recognized.
    What am I missing?

    Just for testing purposes, I removed the canon printer, removed all canon software and updates from my system and then used the original CD that came with my 870 to reinstall the printer and lo and behold, Image Capture started working again for wireless scanning.
    Hello and thanks for the feedback.
    There are two scanner drivers available for many of the new models of Canon AIOs. There is the ICA driver and the Canon scanner driver.
    During my tests on clean builds of 10.6.x I found that my Canon AIOs were able to print and scan via wireless by simply installing the Canon update provided by Apple. This update consisted of the then latest printer driver for many models of Canon AIO and inkjet and the ICA driver. Canon's scanner driver was not included as part of this download from Apple.
    The ICA driver is installed in HD > Library > Image Capture > Devices and the package is called Canon IJScanner1. Later versions of the ICA driver also installed another package, Canon IJScanner2. These ICA drivers provide a minimal amount of scanning selections and only appear to work with Image Capture and Preview. Other applications like Canon's own MP Navigator and Adobe Acrobat Pro will not scan with just the ICA driver installed. The Canon scanner driver for the respective model is required.
    From what you have said and from my own testing I propose that the original CD did not contain the ICA driver but the Canon scanner driver for the MX870. And with only this driver installed you were able to scan using Image Capture via the wireless. I don't recall ever testing a 10.6 build where only the Canon scanner driver was installed and not the ICA driver (it is present by default on 10.6 but only has older models of Canon AIO's - your MX870 is not there). Had I tested this I believe that I would have been able to scan via wireless using Image Capture.
    I also propose that once you installed the Canon v2.4.1 update, which contains a version of the ICA driver package that is also available from Canon web sites, then Image Capture stopped using the Canon MX870 scanner driver and used the ICA driver instead, thus stopping you from wireless scanning.
    Right now I am using a new build of 10.6.6 on my MBPro. So that I could print to my MP990 at home and an MG6150 at work I simply installed the v2.4.1 update and have printer and scanner queues in Print & Fax for both. I have not installed scanner drivers for either device and at home with my MP990 Image Capture does not show any device being available, while Preview does show the MP990 once I select 'Import from Scanner > Include Networked Devices'. Also, Acrobat Pro 9 does not show my MP990 being available.
    And with regards to the v2.4.1 update, the drivers included are provided by Canon to Apple, just as the other vendor drivers are provided to Apple, to make life easier for us Mac users. The drivers are available individually and get downloaded and installed automatically when the respective model is connected to the Mac and no local driver is present. As for the package including all these individual vendor drivers, this would be created by Apple.

  • IPhone Camera not recognized by MacBook Pro

    My camera is neither being recognized by Image Capture, nor by iPhoto.
    This was working fine (iPhoto auto-launching to download the camera roll) before my vacation, and now I have 1000+ pictures on my iPhone that I want to download.
    During my vacation I changed timezones, used airplane mode, etc.
    Is there any way to get all of these photos off my iPhone without wiping the entire thing?
    The whole phone still works properly, it still takes photos (I'm up to 1094 now).
    Thus far I've tried rebooting everything, turning the iPhone off for a while, letting it be plugged into my laptop over night... Nothing works so far.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    When I plug in the iPhone, I get the following in the console.log:
    Jul 23 10:59:19 Crainte kernel[0]: USBF: 3331.256 AppleUSBEHCI[0x3839000]::Found a transaction which hasn't moved in 5 seconds on bus 253, timing out!

    Perhaps the camera device is timing out somehow...
    I'm going to drive out to an Apple store to see if they can download the photos for me... and then maybe try a restore...

  • Iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done all trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

    iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • IPhone 5 not recognized by iTunes 12

    Hello all,
    I have an iPhone 5, I'm running iTunes 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1). Over the last few days, I've noticed that my iPhone is not recognized by iTunes or even Yosemite itself. I have already tried everything in this doc: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X - Apple Support, to no avail. I've been combing the communities and Google to no avail. Does this mean I need to try a manual restore on the phone? Any other solutions?
    Thanks

  • HT201302 iphone is not recognized as an accessible device by your windows 7 or 8 pc?

    Despite the fact that itunes has no problems accessing the iphone nor does a 3rd party paid app like "iExplorer", the iphone is not recognized as a device by Windows (7 and 8). The support bulletin referenced is inadequate.

    Hi James,
       I'll give you steps so it'll be easy to read.
    I suggest having your phone plugged into a working USB during this process.
      1. Open up your Device Manager (run/use command line devmgmt.msc or look for it by sliding open your charm bar located on the right of your computer screen, selecting PC Info, and then on the left hand side of your PC Info window, click "Device Manager"
    2. Once you are in your device manager, look at the above tab (It should say File, Action, View, and Help) and Click View. Click "Show Hidden Devices"
    3. Look for "Portable Devices", and click it. There should be something similar or exact to "Apple iPhone".
    4. Right click it, and select "Update Driver Software..."
    5. Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
    6. Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
    7. Click "Show All Drivers", then click "Next"
    8. Click "Have Disk"
    9. Type in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    10. Click "Browse", there should be a file that says "usbaapl64" RIGHT click it and click "Install"
    11. From there it should install. Open iTunes to make sure.
    Please let me know if my directions are not clear enough, it took me some time to figure out what I was doing myself. I wish you the best!

    I have my photos in  iPhoto but my iPhoto library is empty.When clicked message reads could not be opened image capture cannot open files in the photo library format. How do I get my photos back into my library?

    When what is clicked?
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
