Lion image capture not finding canon 8800f

Hi
I am running Lion on my IMac. I connected a Cannon 8800F scanner. Image capture does not show the device. Went to the Cannon site and installed what they said was for 10.7 No luck.
This is a really good scanner and nothing wrong with it. Any ideas how to get it working? It worked under Snow Lep/
Thank you
Larry

Found the solution. For Lion, you need to install the Canon driver for Snow Lep 10.6 then reboot. Once that is complete, the scanner will show up as a valid device.

Image Capture not finding images taken under iOS 4

After updating to iOS4 I'm not able to download images from my phone via Image Capture. Image Capture simply doesn't show the images taken since the update, in the browse window of the application.
So my question, with a conditioned subquestion is:
-> is there a fix for this issue?
->->if not: does anyone know of another way to get images and videos from the iPhone without going trough iPhoto.

In Mountain Lion Image Capture only recognizes Canon SLR camera under root user

Being a school of fine arts we are using Canon 5D MKII cameras for use in Dragon Frame stopmotion.
In OS X 10.8.4 the camera shows up in System Information > USB but is not recognized in Image Capture (and Dragon Frame) when the user is logged in as a network- or standard user.
Using an local admin account the camera is sometimes recognized ('fuzzy logic') and is always recognized when logging in as a root user.
In Snow Leopard this problem does not exist but a rollback to Snow is not an option because Adobe CS 6 Premiere does not function well under 10.6.8.
The root user 'solution' suggests that it is permission related.
We found this problem on all our iMacs and we tried PRAM zapping and different cameras and cables.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

Image capture not working in lion

Well! After 10 years or so of OS X my Kodak DC 5000 no longer works in image capture after upgrading to OS X Lion. After connecting the camera and trying to import images, Image Capture says "no device connected".
Went to the loca shop and using the same camera and cable, successfully imported picts to the desktop under Snow lepard, so I know it's not the camera or cable. Been a mac user for decades! never had a problem with "plug and play" until this update!
Do I need to get a card reader now? New camera? Not happening as long as this one works(ed). Already lost Photoshop, but didn't mind as I bought Pixelmator. However, the Image Capture not working is a showstopper. Is this Apple's version of Vista? Help please!

Yes, I have iPhoto 9.1.5, I also used the prefs and this still is not working. The upgrade to OS X Lion broke my driver and I am not able to do transfer any pics from the camera.
I assume I will now need to buy a card reader.

After upgrading to Lion Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software. Gives error 9931. What gives?

Ouch, if it is indeed damaged, then sadly you need to restore the whole danged huge OS!
Didn't used to be this way before Lion/10.7.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

MacBook Air can not find canon f8500 series printer on network.

MacBook Air running OS X Yosemite can not find Canon MF8500 series printer on wireless network. AirPrint is turned on at printer. iPhone iOS 8.2 can not AirPrint to printer as well. Recently switched from Verizon to Comcast for internet service, no issues before switch. Tried to add printer via IP address, it was located but could not print to printer.

If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system also Yosemite
Try setting it up as something other than AirPrint. I have seen several posts where that was the problem.

Image Capture not working with Canon LiDE 500F

Image Capture version 6.0.424 and CanoScan LiDE 500F 11.2.5.0 does not work properly.
Regardless the resolution, the resulted file has a very small size.
As a test I scanned a 9x20cm document at different resolutions and for all resulted files 'Get Info' reported small dimensions: 69x147 pixels. It is interesting that the size of the file varies with resolution, but when opened in Preview or Acrobat Reader, the small size is used.
As for other reports, CanoScan Toolbox works properly.

Hello Liviu,
There has been a couple of posts regarding the same issue with Image Capture. Have a look at this one for example.
http://discussions.apple.com/watches!add.jspa?forumID=1344&threadID=2272250
As I stated in this thread, I do not have this problem with Image Capture and my LiDE 200 or my MP980 AIO. So there must be something with the drivers used by these older model of Canon scanners when using Image Capture.
I haven't seen anyone provide a solution as yet so you may need to escalate this to Canon if you have a need to use 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.

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:

Image Capture not working anymore

I use Image Capture to get photos off my Canon XSi. Lately, it hasn't been working. Image Capture shows 26 CR2 icons (without the camera even being plugged in), but won't show their thumbnail previews. It won't download them, and I can't delete them, either. It also won't recognize any new photos I've taken with the camera when it is plugged in. The only thing I've done recently that might have caused this is I installed a new scanner (Epson V300). I've tried deleting the Epson scanner driver, deleting Image Capture's preferences, and even deleting Image Capture and reinstalling it using Pacifist. The 26 ghost icons still haunt me. Furthermore, I still have device windows for the Epson scanner (two of them, for some reason) even though I uninstalled all the Epson stuff. Any other ideas?

Image Capture and/or Canon MF4350d -- How do I set up Auto Document Feeder?

I can't find a setting for it within Image Capture, and I was told by a Canon customer service agent that she had a similar customer with a similar problem who had to get some updated Image Capture software from Apple to fix the problem. If that's true, I looked for the Image Capture software but couldn't find it, and if not, I'd love to know how to make the ADF work for me. The printer says it can do it, but I can't get my computer to ask the right way...
thanks in advance for your help!

Hello there and welcome to Apple Discussions.
I am not aware of a new version of Image Capture, apart from the one that is included with 10.6 but this is not available for 10.5.
I don't have an MF4300 series to test (I have the MF4680 and 4270) so I cannot check the settings you should see with the Canon ScanGear application for your MF4350. However, I think the issue is that Image Capture does not open the Scan Gear viewer and therefore you do not get the option of where to scan from. So instead of using Image Capture to scan, try using Preview and selecting the MF4350 via the File > Import Image menu.

Preview and Image Capture Not Recognising Scanner

Preview and Image capture have stopped recognising my networked Canon MX350 scanner. It seemed to occur after I used PhotoScore to scan some sheet music but that could be coincidence. I deleted the scanner driver and reinstalled it from the Canon website together with the MP Navigator software, and I am now able to scan from MP Navigator but not Image Capture or Preview. I have run Software Update but no updates are available.

Apple's official documentation only provides an information about printing by using this device - scanner is not listed. I would suggest to look for specific drivers on Canon's official webpage.

IOS 10.8.2-image capture and my canon camera

Is there an update for image capture that will allow me to connect to my canon camera? I get a dialogue box saying this os can't use find the camera.

To see the contents of the iPhoto Library, in the Finder, right-click or control-click on the iPhoto Library and choose "Show Pacage Contents". That will open the iPhoto Library, which is a "bundle" (a folder that looks like a file unless you show contents, then you see the folder).
It's hidden because you can really mess iPhoto up if you add or delete something in there (by hand).
So don't change anything in there unless you are a techie.
I don't have a "Metadata Backup" folder in my iPhoto Library, so from there you may need more help but hopefully you'll see your file in there..
Then you could make a new alias.
But that is a very odd location for an alias, why would you want an alias of the *backup* of just the Metadata of a photo? How and why did you make the alias in the first place and what is it supposed to be? Your photos are probably somewhere else in the iPhoto Library 's folders, of course the easy way to get to the photos is by using iPhoto and save/export a copy somwhere if you need a copy outside of iPhoto. Is a photo what you want?

Image Capture not detecting Scanner over Network

I have an Epson Workforce 610 which is installed as a network printer (wired ethernet) in my Home Office. OSX Mavericks will find and load the ppropriate drivers for the printer, and printing is fine. However Image Capture does not show the scanner portion in its window. Devices read as (0).
If I connect via USB cable the Scanner shows up with no problem. Disconnect USB no scanner.
Has anyone got a workforce 610 successfully scanning over ethernet?
Thank,
Douglas McLean

On the network computer, does System Preferences save it as a Shared Printer?
The reason I ask is that I can't.
I can select and save as follows:

Image Capture not working with 10.6.6

I use a Canon MP780 printer/scanner with my Macs. I have no printing problems. However, when I upgraded to Snow Leopard the Canon MP Navigator scanning software stopped working and Canon's downloaded driver update didn't resolve the problem. Despite conversations with a helpful Canon engineer they seemed unable to offer a solution. However, I started using Image Capture as a satisfactory solution and this has worked fine until I upgraded to 10.6.6. Now this has stopped working too - I just get the message 'No camera or scanner selected'. I tried installing the recent Apple Canon download (Dec 14th 2010) but it hasn't resolved the problem. I see that the MP780 scan function does not seem to be supported by Apple on a list they publish on the site, however.
I can still scan by using the printer dialogue box but it is very long-winded and not very satisfactory. Is there any hope of me being able to use Image Capture again with my scanner?

The MP Navigator application requires the [Canon MP780 scanner driver|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0900205301.html] to be installed. The Canon driver update from Apple does not include this full scanner driver, only a mini driver that lets you use the scanner via Image Capture/Preview.

I see that the MP780 scan function does not seem to be supported by Apple on a list they publish on the site, however.
The mini driver mentioned above is known as an ICA driver. Canon provides this package to Apple for software download and also has it for various models on their web site. Checking the Canon Australia web site, the MP780 does not list the ICA driver. And checking the Canon IJSCanner1 package located in Library > Image Capture > Devices, which is where this information gets copied to, the MP780 is not in the devices list. So this confirms what Apple has listed on the web but makes no sense how you were able to scan on 10.6.5 or how you are still scanning now via the Print & Fax section, which uses the ICA driver. I would not think that the .6 update would remove the MP780 from the device plist. I need to check a previous build when I get back to the office.
But in the meantime if you can still use the MP780 in Print & Fax then this is the same as what you get in Image Capture. If you click the Show Details tab in the scanner preview window then this may be what you were used to with Image Capture.
And I believe that if you install the full scanner driver then you will be able to use [MP Navigator v2.0.8|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0900182001.html].
