IPhone won't import pictures to Image Capture

Hi Everyone!
I'm having an issue - everytime I connect my iPhone to iMac I want to transfer the pictures to Image Capture and it always keeps giving me the same error message no matter what pictures I select to import.
It always says the following:
"An error occured while importing. 24 items were not imported:
    IMG_1329.JPG
    IMG_1330.JPG
    IMG_1331.JPG
    IMG_1332.JPG
    IMG_1333.JPG..."
Please help!
Thanks!

I have had the same problem all of a sudden, therefore I am replying to this thread. Strange thing was that imports from my iPad worked fine. I tried many solutions like restarting Image Capture, restarting my computer, changing the cable, deleting the contents of the DCIM folder on my iPhone. Nothing worked. What worked for me was:
1. Change the "Import to:" from "Pictures" to "Desktop" (a menu located in the center bottom window in image Capture v. 6.01.)
2. Change the "Import to:" back to "Pictures"
3. Import
Maybe this will help someone.

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.

Hey lozza567,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
Issues with sending and receiving MMS
You will need these to send and receive MMS:
- An iPhone 3G or later.
- iOS 3.1 or later.
- A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
- A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
- A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
9. Restart your iPhone.
10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
11. Reseat your SIM card.
If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
Thanks,
Matt M.

HT4505 I see my scanned picture in image capture but how do you get it to iPhoto?

I can see my scanned picture in image capture but how do you het it in iPhoto or on your desktop?

Hello:
It has options to "scan to..." If I scan using Image Capture, I scan it to the desktop (jpeg). If you want to get it into iPhoto, open iPhoto and import the picture.

Lightroom 4.4 crashed on Windows 7 Laptop, lost catalog info, won't import half my images.

Lightroom 4.4 crashed on Windows 7 Laptop today, lost catalog info, won't import half my images.
Not only is LR messed up, it deleted my day's shooting. Can't believe that.
Now it won't import (i.e. re-import) half my files.
Imported half, but had errors importing rest.
Corrupt catalog?
When I try to import the folders, it recognizes that they are in the catalog (I have "don't import duplicates" turned on).
After running through all the folders, it says, "Nothing to Import."
Any help?
Best,
Peter

Thanks dj_paige.
I installed a plugin, coincidence makes me thinks this might have cause a LR4.4 crash.
After rebooting my windows 7 laptop, LR had lost record of half my directories on the external drive, as seen in Library Module.
In Windows Explorer, the folders and images are still there.
I tried recovering the lost folder references in LR by doing an import on the external hard drive again.
It took about a half hour to run.
There was a report screen at the end of the process that said that LR was unable to import something like 1500 images.
I did not save the report screen. Maybe it is part of a log file somewhere to give you what it exactly said?
I do not profess to understand how catalogues work under the covers.
I only use one catalog at this point.
My guess is at this point I should de-commission the catalog (whatever it takes to do that - delete it, etc.) and just do a new, fresh import on my images.
I don't feel I lose anthing this way - I can't see where I would lose anything important. About 5-10% of the RAW images were processed and exported to jpg, just for web use for casual viewing. The jpg's are all still on the external hard drive.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Cheers,
Peter

Taking pictures using image capture and Nikon d50

Hi, does any one know if it is possible to take pictures using image capture whilst my nikon d50 is connected to my MacBook so that the image is shown on the MacBook screen.

Yes! Indeed, I have that very same D50 (lovely isn't it?) and I just happenned to have taken already some pictures with it, from the computer.
Once it's pluggeg, go in Applications> Image Capture.
From there, you will either be able to download all the picture from the D50, or take new shots.
You can even share the camera (and it's pictures) online, so someone can even take picture with it (through a webpage). You could even try this yourself, play around in Image Capture and with it's share features, and somewhere it will give you the adress (internal ip adress) so suposely someone from your network (including your own computer) could go, check, and take pictures.
I've tried the web interface from my computer, but couldn't make it work with another one from my LAN. Have to work around this.
But in Image Capture, first make sure the D50 is selected (Devices>[pick it]) and then there is what you are looking for in the upper bar of the window.
Have fun!

Can't take pictures with Image Capture - Canon Camera

I can't take pictures using Image Capture using either my Canon Power Shot A710IS or my husband's SD600. I can download pictures with both cameras, but if I switch to shooting mode, Image Capture says "No Image Capture Device Connected." I know it worked with my PowerShot A75, but my *&%$ son broke it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Karen

I would call (800) 828-4040 Canon Tech Support. I have found them very helpful, and its easier than typing here

Iphoto doesn't recognize jpg's and won't import pictures

Recently updated from iPhoto 09 to 11 and iPhoto won't import pictures from Kodak camera. Says it doesn't recognize file type "jpg". Imported pic last week from same camera just fine. Also upgraded to OSX 10.6.8– this is when the problem started. I don't want a work around solution, as I know there is a fix for this. Just can't find it.

There isn't a fix. Workaround: use a USB Card Reader.

Suddenly today, my iPhone won't send pictures to certain people...has worked fine until today.

Suddenly today, my iPhone won't send pictures to certain people...has worked fine until today. Sends fine to some but not to others. What's up?

Like any electronic item, it sometimes gets inexplicably balled up. The reset is no different than rebooting a computer that is acting hinky. If you don't have to do it often, then it is not anythign to worry about. (I know - not the kind of tech talk you were probably expecting, but the words selected are about as scientific as you can get concerning this type of weirdness....)

Can't import photos using image capture or iphoto

When I plug in the iphone to my mac, I cannot get the photos off the phone. I did it once before, while leaving the original photos on the phone, but now I photo says there was an error importing 38 items, which happen to be the 38 photos I've taken since my initial import. Image capture "imports" them onto my desktop, but the files are unreadable?
Is this something with the phone or the computer, or simply a software issue.
Please help....

i deleted HD cache and user cache as well as image capture prefs and IC performed better right away but then had same issue where iphone stops importing photos. pretty crappy...it seems image capture has never worked right (not in 10.3, not in 10.4, and still not in 10.5, don't remember if 10.2 or 10.1 had image capture) atleast before it would import the photos; progress indicator would get stuck but upon opening user picture folder, photos imported fine. We might be SOL, thanks Steve's Dev Team!

IPhone won't import

I have an iPhone 4s, latest software, etc. The iPhone shows up as a device in Aperture, iPhoto and Image Capture, but each of the applications shows the phone as empty. It's definitely not. Any ideas??
I'm on a MBP, 2.4Ghz i5 w/ 8G ram, running OSX 10.6.8. iPhoto '09, Aperture 3.2.4
Thanks!
Jeremy

Larry-
You're probably right about moving it to the iPhone forum, but thought people might be more helpful here!
The photos are simply shot with the camera app and are in the camera roll. No processing. I swear I used to be able to import directly to iPhoto and Aperture, and the Apple website says I can. But, alas, no dice.
Do you know any pref that might be bad somewhere?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Transferring Videos/Pictures Using Image Capture

I'm using Image Capture to transfer my iphone pics and vids to my desktop. Recently, the transfer has corrupted the files and caused some sort of flickering in the videos and a similar effect on the pics. I no longer have the originals. Is there a way to correct these files? I've attached some samples.

Yes! Indeed, I have that very same D50 (lovely isn't it?) and I just happenned to have taken already some pictures with it, from the computer.

IMac 10.7.3 wont delete my pictures using image capture

Imac wont delete picture using Image capture

Yes...I had the same problem; nothing to do with the card or my iPod Touch 4G.
Below, a screenshot.
Delete after import is grayed out. Sometimes it is not even there!
If Image Capture had any Preferences perhaps that would help -- or if Aperature could delete
photos after import, but right now it is frustrating.
It's 'interesting,' that OS Lion is suspected.
I've been spending an hour or so every morning now on this. Today I discovered there is an Automator action for importing pictures from a folder and then deleting them.
So now if Image Capture would do it's thing...perhaps this could be a smooth workflow.
So, Why Does Delete After Import in Image Capture be grayed out? Or not even there? Even when importing to a folder?
Is it the Lion in the jungle? And/or some other reasons?

Iphone and iPad not appearing in Image Capture

Hi
Since upgrading my iPhones and iPads to 8.1.1 I no longer see them in the Image Capture program.
I liked this program for mass deleting bad photos.

I deleted photos from my iPhone but still see them in Image Capture app

I am running iOS 8 and I have a problem with my photo library. I deleted all the photos form my phone, and went into "recently deleted" and made sure I permanently deleted them, however when I plug my phone into my Mac and look in image capture, I still see over 400 photos in there. Does anybody know if there's any way to figure out where these photos reside on my iPhone? They aren't viewable through the photos app and seem to be taking up space but are not usable.
I currently have all iCloud photo related functions turned off.

Hello J-a-x,
It sounds like you are seeing photos in Image Capture that you have removed from the Photos app by deleting them from the Recently Deleted album. It seems to me that the Photos app is going to be the linchpin here so thats where I would troubleshoot. Start by closing all the apps that are running on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Then see if the photos are showing anywhere in the Photos app. If so delete them once more, in the same way you had before, also removing them from Recently Deleted and see if Image Capture is detecting them or not.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling
