Tell Image Capture to forget my iPhone

Is there any way to make Image Capture forget a device?  It must have a cache since it remebers the folder where I save the photos.
I want to make it forget my iPhone (4) because it keeps deleting everything I import regardless if I uncheck the box or not. What's weird is it works fine with all our other iDevices (4S, 3, iPad, all latest iOS) and card readers, so it must be something it remebers about my phone.
It do not see anything like this in the menu. Here is the Image Capture stuff in ~/Library just in case someone can point me to the culprit.
Thanks in advance

    I am having the identical error. I have an iPhone 4 and 2 macs, the phone is managed from an old G5 PowerMac and images are saved from it to Aperture for photos and videos go to iPhoto 11. The Mac is running 10.5.8. I last appear to have downloaded movies from iPhone4 to mac in December , the oldest video being 10 Dec 2010.
    This week I was going to back up a handful of images on the phone but after connecting it to the mac, something that happens several times a week to sync to itunes for app updates etc I found it did not list for import options in iPhoto nor in Aperture. I looked at Image Capture and that tells me no device is connected.
    I have no problems taking images off the phone using a MBP which has 10.6 and Image Capture recognises the phone.
    I have tried the following after reading through all the discussions on the topic of which there appear to be many with this problem.
    Restore the iphone then update settings from archive. - did nothing
    Closed apps reconnected iPhone started apps...  - did nothing
    Switched phone off then on then connected to mac then opened apps - nothing
    This Mac seems happy to communicate t othe phone though iTunes but appears to have lost the way when it comes to getting images off the iPhone. Any help keenly appreciated.

  • Image Capture App Not recognizing Iphone

    Using a MBP with 10.5 with most recent updates. Running iphone 1.14
    Iphoto does not import my pictures from my iphone. This is because image capture doesn't recognize it.
    I have read many posts about this and will let you know what I have tried so far.
    - Disabled auto syncing in itunes and image capture
    - deleted the plist for iphoto, image capture, and preview.
    - reinstalled image capture from original leopard cd using pacifist.
    - reset and rebooted both devices many times.
    I have an alternate install of OS X Leopard on an external USB drive which works well with my iphone and image capture, shows up right away.
    Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be. I have given up, tried everything I could think of, but I know the problem lies with image capture not recognizing the iphone.

    Already tried a connection without a hub, on both usb ports on the macbook.
    As for secondary software that might interfere, none installed to my knowledge.
    Well it looks like the mac quote of "it just works" doesnt work in my situation, I dont feel like booting to my second hard drive just to sync the photos. So I guess I will have to wait until my new macbook for a fresh install because I dont want to erase everything currently on my book.
    might try and install and archive next time I have some serious software issues and hopefully that will solve my problems.

  • Iphoto & Image Capture doesn't see Iphone, Itunes Does?

    Iphoto & Image Capture doesn't see Iphone, Itunes Does.
    I am able to do everything as normal in itunes but cannot import photos using Image Capture(my prefered way to get my images) as it does not see my devise. Same for iphoto it doesn't see my iphone, please help.
    Thank you

    It's generally recommended not to use a USB hub with the iPhone. I've used one with no problems but many have reported solving sync problems just by eliminating the hub and plugging directly into a USB2.0 port.
    I'm sure.
    The trouble is that there are too many bits of hardware that are recommended not to use a hub with. I have a PhoneValet (which won't work at all with a hub) and a set of first generation Harman-Kardon speakers (ditto). Then I need a USB port to plug the hub itself into, and that's my three USB ports used up.

  • How do I get Image Capture to recognize my iPhone so I can transfer videos to my MacBook ?

    I cannot delete my old email from my Apple Discussions Profile.
    I have an iPhone that is not letting me transfer videos I take with the Camera App onto my MacBook Air.
    My photos transfer fine but the videos don't transfer at all.
    I have tried Image Capture too and this does not even recognize my iPhone.
    I have tried different USB cables and still no luck.
    Even though one workaround is emailing videos to myself from my iPhone
    this is not ideal because it compresses the files - thus losing video quality - and
    it is super time-consuming because I have long videos that I need to break up into smaller clips
    in my emails and I have almost 200 videos in all.
    I think I have iPhone 5 but I don't know how to confirm.
    Please advise.
    Many thanks
    <Email Edited By Host>

    In Image Capture, a network printer / scanner will appear under "Shared". If it is hidden, a number will appear adjacent to it, representing the number of hidden devices.
    If it still does not appear, try resetting the printing system: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
    After you do that you will need to add the device again according to the instructions here:
    OS X Mavericks: Set up a printer
    Follow the instructions below Add a network printer

  • After 3.1.3 iphoto & image capture don't detect iphone as camera device.

    I have installed the recent update 3.1.3 on my iphone 3GS.
    My iphoto (or image capture) no longer detects the iphone as a camera...
    and will not automatically bring up the import option.
    I can't get photos and video from the iphone to the computer...
    The iphone seems to sync with itunes without any problem... it's just the image capture.
    I have a laptop (running OS X 10.5.8) and a imac desktop... neither of them detact the iphone when it is connected for image capture... iphoto is set to open automatically when a camera is detected (i tried my other dedicated digital camera and it works fine)... even if I manually open iphoto - it simply won't import... I have restarted everything... I have swapped the connection cords...
    it has to be a bug in the update... everything was working fine before the update.
    please help...

    I found another thread which solved the problem for me...

  • Apple's Image Capture deleted all my iPhone Videos

    I found out that because I have been using Image Capture to import all my pictures and videos from my 3GS to Aperture 3, with the setting "delete after finishing import" I have actually LOST ALL THE VIDEOS I took in the last months. Including those of family I only get to see once a year.
    What happens is that it does NOT import the Video to Aperture 3, yet deletes it from my iPhone.
    Is there any way I can recover these lost pictures? And how can a bug this serious still be around? This is AWFUL!
    I have tried this: http://tech.kateva.org/2010/03/image-capture-import-to-aperture.html (the private/tmp folder). I also thought of restoring my iPhone to the date I still had the video's in my Camera roll, but sadly I did not connect my Time Machine drive to my Mac in those days so no iPhone backups are available.
    Please help if you can, it would make me so happy to find back these videos.

    I don't post alot on these forums but when I went searching for a solution to this problem and found this, I felt compelled.
    I, too, tried to use Image Capture to import into Aperture 3 after migrating from iPhoto. I used IC because it offers the very handing "Delete After Import" feature that Aperture does not. After my first import, and selecting that delete option, I closed Aperture without verifying the import. The second import session I did look to verify and discovered an empty project called Imported Project and Imported Project(1). I tried to search the entire Aperture Library, but all photos and videos of my child from those two import sessions are gone. Poof.
    Apple products have had some bugs in the past, but this is the first that causes loss of important data.

  • Image Capture doesn't recognize iPhone and Camera anymore

    Image Capture doesn't recognize my iPhone or my Fujifilm camera. I am pretty sure this happened after updating to Safari 4.0.2 and having to restart which I did today. Yesterday I was able to to browse through my devices.

    I'm adding that iTunes has no problem reading the iPhone.

  • Image Capture app: wont recog iPhone 3Gs

    my iPhone 3gs has been working fine with Snow Leopard's Image Capture app
    today when I connected it - SL wont recognize the iPhone at all
    tried:
    restarting Macbook Pro
    restarting iPhone
    all I get is from Image Capture is "no camera or scanner connected".
    When I launch ITunes I can sync the phone normally.
    What gives ?

    Recently had the exact same problem. All of a sudden neither my MacBook nor my PC would recognize the iPhone as a camera device. Image Capture wouldn't work for me either. I used iDrive Lite to back up some photos online from my phone, and then followed the directions posted in this forum.
    I deleted all the photos from my Camera Roll. Rebooted iPhone.
    After rebooting, I took a picture, hooked my iPhone up to the Mac, and iPhoto opened up again.
    I tried it on the PC, and the PC also now recognizes the iPhone as well.
    I had screenshots and saved photos from emails, as well as shots taken with the iPhone itself, and I didn't progressively delete them, so I cannot attest as to which photos were the culprit. I just mass deleted them all.
    They should fix this problem ... it's a pain. But iDrive Lite is free and you can at least back up your pics.

  • Image Capture won't import iPhone pics

    Is anyone else experiencing an issue where Image Capture sees the iPhone photos, but when you click "download all" it cycles through the photos really fast and doesn't download anything? The only "fix" I've been able to figure out is a computer restart, but it's annoying to have to restart when you just want to download a few pictures. My phone is an iPhone 3GS running the 4.2.1. I've had the problem since buying this phone last year.

    Bizarrely that has just happened to me today for the first time! For me comes after installing a Canon scanner driver which Image Capture keeps thinking is there even when it is disconnected.

  • Image capture doesn't recognize iphone

    OS X 10.7.4, iphoto 11, iphone 4, ios 5.xx
    -I have photos on iphone that are not in photo stream, and videos as well, that I want to download
    -image capture does not recognize the iphone as a device when I launch it. It does not autostart even though I set the IMAGECAPTURE option in iPhoto preferences
    -itunes does see the phone
    -iphoto does not see the phone and does not have the missing images - I cannot manually import anything from any device
    -Activity monitor shows a new copy of ptpcamera each time I plug in the iPhone to the USB cable
    -restarting iPhone/iTUnes/iPhoto/Mac have no effect
    Something changed with the latest iPhoto/iTunes combination

    Found the resolution in another thread. Have to go to iPhoto preferences and set Image Capture to open when a camera is plugged in. Then it should auto start.

  • Stop image capture from opening when iphone is connected ?

    how do i get "image capture" to stop auto opening when i connect my iphone ?
    i have set image capture to open when i connect a camera, but i don't want it to open when i connect the iphone.
    is this possible ?

    Chenks,
    The way you have it set, Image Capture will open whenever it detects photos that have been taken with the iPhone. To prevent it, you can just import the photos you've taken with the iPhone to your computer and then erase them off the phone (you can then sync them back to the phone if you want them), or you can set Image Capture to not open when any camera is connected. That will apply to other digital cameras as well as the iPhone.
    Hope this helps,
    Jennifer B.

  • I can't import my photos from my iPhone 4 by iPhoto or image capture

    i can't import my photos from my iPhone 4 by iPhoto or image capture.
    i tried to import but in iphoto or image capture, there is no iphone in device list (they can't reconize iphone)
    but itunes reconize my iphone.
    p.s. my iphoto, iOS, OS X are newest version.

    Hi,
    I had this problem.
    I don't know the best way to resolve this but i tell you how i did it.
    1 - I saved my iphone on the mac.
    2 - I restaure it with 5.0.1
    3 - Itunes have restaured the origin ios 5.0.1 and use the save to restaure the apps, datas, photos...
    After the restaure, the iphone was seen on itunes and iphoto and others...
    Best regards, Henry.

  • Image Capture & Automator to simululate USB reconnect

    Greetings:
    I'm trying to force a camera without dedicated tethering software (and that is not supported via Lightroom Tethering) to actually "tether."
    I get about 90% of the way there, save for one problem: How can I make Image Capture automatically download a photo each time I take one, without unplugging and replugging the USB cable?
    Obviously, I can tell Image Capture to open AutoImporter each time I connect the camera, which automatically downloads new photos in my camera into my Mac (where Lightroom then takes over and "auto imports" these into my Library).
    BUT... if I take a new photo, then the only way I've been able to "import" that new photos is to unplug and replug the USB cable. Surely this can be solved by Automator?
    I found one Automator action called "Take Picture" that works well with my camera and *almost* does what I want. That is, I can take a picture and it automatically downloads to my Mac. BUT, the problem with this action is it must be initiated from the Mac. That is, the Mac is used to trigger the camera's shutter. I don't want this. I want to trigger the shutter ON THE CAMERA, and have the file automatically download into a specified folder on the Macintosh.
    Is there any automator action that will do this?
    All I want is to take a picture (using my camera's shutter release) and have it automatically download to the Mac. The closest I've been able to come is to set up Image Capture and unplug/plug the USB cable each time to "trigger" the download. Seems like some bit of software could do this for me?
    Thanks!
