Preview and Image Capture

These two questions pertain to the same two documents:
*How do I, in Preview, select to save two specific pages out of an incoming fax attachment containing 17 pages? What I get saved is the first page no matter what page I choose to save-as.
*In the alternative I screen-shot saved the two pages, and faxed them. But, instead of being sent as the normal sized pages (as they appear before transmission), the are sent one-third-sized and not readable. My cover sheet went out regular sized. I am faxing using Fax.com.

Use "Print" from Preview's "File" menu, set the page range, then click "PDF" at the bottom left to save as a PDF file. If they are not adjacent pages, use Combine PDFs

to remove the intervening pages.

Preview and image capture don't save imported scanned image

Hi. Both preview and image capture aquire the scanner and displays the image overview. But when proceeding
to scan, the application simply hangs and no image is saved.
Maybe some prefs file is corrupted. Tried removing the com.apple.Preview from ~/Library/Containers, but didn't help....
What to do???

Not sure if this is relevant:
1) TWAIN-BRIDGE is installed otherwise mavericks won't talk to the scanner.
2) recently added an HP printer (no scanner). Shouldn't conflict with the scanner driver, but then again.....

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.

Scanning, Preview and Image Capture Problems

I've now attempted to do this, using three different, new printer/scanner machines. I've been attempting to scan a document (Epson 7400 and Epson XP-400 and HP Photosmart 310c) using Lion and a MacBook Pro. The scanners hum and haw and do "their thing," but then only a scanned image appears in the Image Capture window. Preview never opens. If I force Preview to open, then I get only partial scans, of the very bottom or the very top of the page that was scanned.
I've re-installed software multiple times for the scanners, but have run out of ideas and patience.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay

Preview, QuickTime, Image Capture crash?

I have a strange problem since the upgrade to Mavericks.
Preview, QuickTime, Image Capture apps simply don't work. Their icons appear in the dock for a brief second and disappear. No error message...
Any idea what's happening? Is there any way to reinstall only these apps?

Epson scanner and image capture: blank white image

I've been trying to make an epson perfection 1670 scanner work on an iMac running 10.6.4
Since epson no longer specifically supports this model I am going to Image Capture and the epson drivers supplied by Apple. I have downloaded/installed the updated drivers twice (once via software update and once manually from apple support).
I can get image capture to recognize the scanner and perform preview and full scans.
The frustrating thing is that the image generated is completely blank; a white page. I have tried using the scanner and image capture on two other mac's (macBook pro, macBook) both running 10.6.4 and both of these produce the same white page (although they do recognize the scanner).
I thought the scanner may have finally broken so i tested it on another (old) iMac G3 running os x 10.4.11 and epson's scanning utility; it worked fine and made a nice scan.
I have tried to get epson's scanning utility to work under 10.6.4 by reinstalling it; I can get it to startup and run the scanner but it too produces a blank white image!
I conclude there is some basic software incompatibility between the drivers and os x 10.6.4. Its odd that the drivers and image capture can run the scanner but cannot send an image to the computer.
The epson driver in the latest apple update is version 5.2.5 (Copyright 2003 ???) while the latest driver on the epson site (for image capture) is 5.3. Tried to download the epson driver and got file not found (*!%#?&).
done what I can; any suggestions?

I had the same problem with my Epson 1260 scanner. The "updated" drivers provided by both Apple and Epson produced the exact same result - blank white pages, or if anything showed up at all, it would be all chopped up and skewed, like it had gone through a shredder. Trying to adjust the brightness and other slider settings made no difference.
After wrestling with it for a week, I finally found a solution. First make sure Rosetta is installed. Use the old PowerPC Epson TWAIN driver from 2003; with the filename EPSON TWAIN 5.ds. Put it in the folder /Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources/.
Then, don't use Image Capture. Download Graphic Converter. Set it to open in Rosetta mode. Then you can use Graphic Converter's File -> Acquire -> TWAIN Acquire... menu command to scan using the old EPSON TWAIN driver.

HT201302 Old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I plug into my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up photos in the camera roll. There were more photos on albums and photo library on the iphone that arent showing up in iphoto and icapture.

My old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I try to get the photos off and onto my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up the camera roll. I have more pictures that arent on the camera roll there are albums and a photo library full of pictures that I want off of this dang phone. I have tried everything and I cant email them to myself because the service has been cut off of the phone. They are stuck on the phone there is there any way to get them off? Am I missing something.

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
Again, the photo sync is one way.
Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your old computer?
Not good. You can e-mail the photos from your iphone. You do not need to have phoe service for this. The iphone uses wi-fi. The photos will never be of the original quality, as they are reduced when synced to iphone.

Scanner And Image Capture Problem

Hello All,
I thought I would start a new thread since my first one was answered. The old thread is at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17757734#17757734
Well, I went a couple weeks ok with the Scanner and Image Capture. And then kaput, it doesn't work. I thought about it some and it seemed to stop working after I did Software Update on March 17th, 2012. In that update was a "Digital Camera Raw 3.1.0" update. Which makes me very suspicious.
Here is the error I get when I open Image Capture:
So, it recognizes the scanner but can't do anything in Image Capture or the with the scanner buttons.
I ran Software Update again, just to see if there was a new updated scanner driver but nothing came up.
Any ideas? I really want to avoid using the manufacturer's SW drivers etc.
Thanks in advance for the help!

PAHU,
I feel like a complete idiot. It was exactly the lock button. The last time I finished using it, I locked it. I totally forgot about it and I never thought of that being the problem to check.
I really appreciate your help and thanks to you, I'm back and scanning!

How to By-Pass Preview in Image Capture and Scan whole document right away

Does anyone know how to by-pass the Preview mode in Image Capture? And ideally have it scan and save to desktop automatically??
What happens is I scan a document from the printer. It performs a preview. The rectangles it chooses are often wrong, I have to delete them, then do a select box around the whole document, then click Scan.
What I would like is for it to just scan the whole document from first button press, not have to go through this process which includes a double scanning.
Thanks!

If you hide the details pane Image Capture will scan immediately to a specified folder. Other way is to open printers and faxing from the system preferences , select the scanning tab of your printer and click Open scanner. It will start scanning immediately without opening Image Capture. To set other software as default you should open Image Capture, select your printer/scanner and click the scanner buttons. It will then let you chose which program should be launched when you scan a document.

Dark green previews and images

i've seen alot of comments about this, but can't get any of the previously mentioned fixes to work
i import RAW and JPG files from the card placed in the card slot of my iMac. images captured on Lumix GX1.
all images prior to 10.7.4 update have normal preview and full view image. images since update have dark green preview and full view in aperture. in other applications, images display normally.
have tried the terminal script idea and no luck (yes, removed the space). any ideas?
dan

dan,
what is your Aperture version? Have you upgraded to the latest version?
Maybe your raw decode presets file is corrupted.
Try to move the presets from your user library to the desktop, after quitting Aperture and logging off and on again. The presets file is located here:
Your home folder > Library > Application Support > Aperture > Raw Decode Presets.plist
To reveal your user library in the Finder use the Finder's "Go" menu from the main menu bar: select "Go" and hold down the alt/options key, until the library appears in the drop down menu, then select and open it.
Then navigate to the subfolder "Application Support > Aperture" and drag the Raw Decode Presets.plist to the Desktop; launch Aperture and try again.
Regards
Léonie

Lexmark printer/scanner and Image capture to PDF

I am trying to use a x5250 Lexmark printer/scanner to scan with image capture.
The printer installs fine and gets recognized. And I have the latest drivers from lexmark
so when I use the scanner with Image Capture, it scans fine, I can save it as jpg, png, etc.
The only one that gives me problems is when I try to save it as a PDF. It makes the PDF, but when I try to open it with Preview, it says unrecognized file format or corrupt.
I then tried to open it on a linux machine (ubuntu) and it opens fine.
Any ideas?

Update on this: Image Capture still creates corrupt PDF, but it is a problem with Image Capture. VueScan scans to PDF just fine.

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,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your iPhone is not being recognized as a camera on your computer, please follow the directions in the article linked to below.

CanoScan LiDE 700F and Image Capture

I just purchased and received the my Canon Scanner and followed the discussions on the product page not to install the Installation CD from Canon but rather use the Image Capture feature already on my iMac. My issue is that I can't seem to get the scanner to "copy, scan, email or pdf" using the buttons on the actual device. Learning to use Image Capture is all new to me and so is this tiny scanner. The 'scan' button on the computer screen works fine, but I don't know what I am doing incorrectly that the buttons on the scanner do not respond. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Mildred (Moms90)

You can only use the scanners buttons with the Canon driver installed. The ICA driver included with OS X 10.6 that lets you use the scanner with Image Capture does not support the button operation.
You can get the scanner driver for OS X 10.6 from any Canon web site rather than using the included CD, although this model is very new so I believe the driver that is on the web will be the same as is supplied with the CD.

Iphoto and image capture not recognizing kodak camera

Hello!
I am having trouble uploading photos from my Kodak easyshare dx4530 to iphoto 6.0.5. This is a new thing as I have uploaded many times before. The camera is not recognized by iphoto or by image capture when the usb is connected. The camera and usb work fine when connected to my husband's ibook G4.
I tried moving the preferences to the trash (com.apple.iphoto.plist and com.apple.imagecaptureapp.plist) and this did not work. There is only 1 account on the computer and it is the admin account.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

pb35:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is the camera recognized by System Profiler? Did you run any updates before this problem began? A first cut would be a reinstall of the 10.4.9 COMBO updater followed by a permissions repair.
I'd create a second, non-admin, very vanilla account and see if the camera is recognized there by iPhoto or IC. A second plain account is a very good troubleshooting tool to see if the problem is with what's been added to the primary account.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

IPhoto and Image Capture does not see the iPhone as a camera

Whether I launch iPhoto or Image Capture, in both cases the iPhone is not recognized as a camera. I am running firmware 1.1.1. I am afraid up upgrade to 1.1.3 because I do not want to lose my pictures. This was working at one point, but now it is not. I have no problems syncing music and video content within iTunes. I recently used migration assistant to move my home folder to my new Mac Pro running leopard. I am not sure if this is when it stopped working. I also tried using the Tiger machine at work, but the same thing happens there as well in both apps. Is there anything anyone can suggest?

This helped me. It is advice I found from a user named Carlosmara. First make sure iPhoto is closed and your iPhone is not connected. Then, as Carlosmara stated in his post,
"Go to your Library/preferences and delete the file com.apple.iPhoto.plist
IPhoto should recognized the iPhone again."
The file in question is under your user folder.
I then restarted my mac and plugged in the iPhone so that it would sync. After the sync, when I opened iPhoto, my iPhone was recognized and I could download the photos perfectly.
Hopefully this will help you as it helped me
