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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Setting Adobe Acrobat as a scan destination in Image Capture?

Is there a way of setting Adobe Acrobat as the default scan destination in Image Capture?

Yes, I can do that...but is there a way of setting it as a default?..so that it pops up in the main choices...(alongside Preview, Aperture, etc) so that I don't have to go and look for it every time.

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?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

Can I scan documents with Image Capture?

I can no longer scan documents with my HP printer now that I have Maverick. I can scan pics with Image Capture. Is there any way to scan documents with image capture or with some other software?

Don't feel bad you are not alone. I have a HP photosmart C4780. Since upgrading to Mavericks it has been difficult to use the scan feature except via image scan. I spent well over a month on the HP forums trying to discern whether or not new drivers were being developed and essentially got the run around. Very crappy service from HP. I'll not purchase one of their products again. It appears that my all in one (which I brought through the Apple Store) is obsolete. Anyone got any advice. I'm contemplating seeing how many pieces it will shatter into upon being launched from my window.

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.

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.

Problem: codebase, jar and image reloading problem please help!

Hi Java Gurus,
I have written an applet that extends JApplet for viewing webcam. In order to reduce the download time I put my classes into a doorcam.jar file. The following is my <applet> tag in my html file.
<applet code="CameraApplet.class"
archive="doorcam.jar"
codebase = "webcam/classes"
width="375" height="475">
<param name="imagePath" value="http://judge/webcam/images">
<param name="webCamImage" value="door.jpg">
<param name="COMPort" value="COM2">
<param name="frameRate" value="10"> 
<param name="host" value="judge">
</applet>
The fist problem is that my class file does not get loaded from the jar file if i provide the "codebase" attribute as above. Instead the browser load every single class file from the webserver. This has some problem too. Coz the browser sometimes just thorough NullPointerException or ClassNotFoundException. After much of debugging I found out that the problem is the IE browser which seldom fails to load classes or image file from the server. If i referesh the browser the applet and all its classes loaded successfully and runs smoothly. This behaviour never occurs when running with "appletviewer".
I wanted all my classes to be loaded from my jar file. After much of trial and error I found out that if i remove "codebase" attribute the browser loads the classes from my jar file and applet loads very fast. This is where the second problem comes in. The browser does not reload my webcam image file so that the webcam become alive with live images, like before.
If I run on "appletviewer" everything works fine my web cam is displayed properly. But in IE browser the image does not get reloaded when I refresh my image to give live to my webcam display. The refresh method is given below.
private void refresh(final URL url) {
Image webCamImage =getImage(url);
webCamImage.flush(); // flush out the previous image
webCamImage = getImage(url); // get a new image
webCamImageIcon.setImage(webCamImage); webCamImageIcon.paintIcon(webCamLabel, webCamLabel.getGraphics(), 15, 15);
When I add the "codebase" attribute back, the image gets reloaded for every refresh() and everything works fine. But the classes are also loaded from the server. And occasionally also suffers Class loading and image loading problem. As I presented earlier, when I do refreshing in the browser everything gets loaded and the applet function correctly with web cam displaying very well.
The problem is so strange that I could not find any way to solve it.
It would be a great help to me if somebody provide me some work around to the problem.
I tested on Windows 2000, Windows XP, IE 5.5, IE 6 with J2SDK 1.4.0.
Thank you all very much in advance.
best regards,
Judge

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I did tried the way u suggested. The problem still the same.
I think its the problem between IE browser and Java Plug-in.
I which SUN would find these incompatibilities and solve these problems.
I even tried using java SDK and plug-in 1.4.1 it even worst. It can't even load an applet. And it does not show any loading messages nor any error messages. It just show a cross sign on the upper left coner.
I would be so glad, if Sun would try to eliminate the inconsistancies such as caching, loading, initializing etc between browser and its Java plug-In. For example, applets behave well in appletviewer and behave unpredictably in browser environment.
I have seen so many people in the forums with all sorts of problems because of this.
Right now I m desperately looking for work around to my problem.
If somebody would provide me with the solution to my problem it would be a great help to me.
thank you all so much.
best regards,
Judge

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.

Scanning transparencies with image capture/preview

We have just bought an epson v600 scanner. We have Lion so we need to use image capture or preview to scan with the it; this is not a problem for twhat we hope to use it for.
When we first used it, we scanned some small pics to see what they looked like like. Then we scanned some negatives using an drop-down option called something like Transparencies (negative). Worked out okay. Then we scanned some more pics, again with no problem.
However, now we want to scan some more transparencies. However, we no longer have the drop-down that lists transparencies. How do we get that back? What did I do to make it disappear?

I've got the same problem w/my Epson perfection3490. Hope someone can help us both.

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.
