Why does image capture not recognise mac camera

When i go onto image capture, it says there are no camera's or scanners. How do I find the original camera that came with the mac (there is definitely a camera on the mac)? Is this possible?

Image capture is for importing/copying images off a camera memory card or from a scanner. It doesn't activate the built in camera. For that open Photo Booth.

Why does Image Capture not see my scanners?

I have two multi-function printers - a Canon MF4350d and a HP Officejet J4550 - both connected to my iMac and both printing properly. But when
I open Image Capture it does not see either device. How do I get my scanners functional?

Check this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5540452?start=0&tstart=0
It would seem there are updated drivers for (some) HP scanners. Doesn't appear to be the case for Canon.

Why does Image Capture stop recognizing Epson scanner after scanning several images? I have to stop and start the scanner in order for Image Capture to recognize it again.

Might be corrupted preferences (.plist)
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.image_Capture.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.image_Capture.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac and your scanner and try scanning an image.

Why does GarageBand '11 not recognise my MIDI Controller?

My Evolution MK-249 MIDI controller keyboard is recognised as being on the USB 3.0 Hi-Speed Bus in the System Information window, but is not recognised by GarageBand '11 nor does it appear as a device in Audio MIDI Setup. As a test, I plugged in a USB microphone + headset and GarageBand immediately detected the device and it appeared in Audio MIDI Setup.
Evolution are no longer in business, but support has been picked up by M-AUDIO. According to their website the MK-249 is amongst many MIDI devices for which "the class-compliant drivers built into Mac OS X provide full support for all features.".

I have just realised I have put this on the wrong forum - it is not relevant to iOS. I will now post it in the correct forum, please pardon my ignorance!

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.

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.

Why does image capture keep shutting down when trying to download pictures from iphone

when I connect my iphone to upload some pictues it stops does the rainbow circle then says "the application Image Capture quit unexpectedly". what do i do?

Hi, open Console in Utilities, watch for clues/errors as you try it.

I have a Iphone 42 and want to transfer my photos to my PC why does my computer not recognise the Iphone when I connect it to the pc?

Can any help. I want to transfer photos on my Iphone 4s to my PC, my computer will not recognise the phone when I connect via the USB port to the PC. Any Ideas would be appreciated.

Do you get any response from the computer when you plug the phone in? I'm guessing that you are going into Computer to see if you find the phone? If you go into Device Manager, do you see any errors in the USB area?
See this support document and pay particular attention to step 5 regarding drivers. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

Why does my iPod not recognise my passcode on restrictions passcode page

The passcode for my iPod is no longer recognised when I try to open the restrictions page in the Settings app. How can one device have 2 passcodes ? Do I have to wipe the device and start again ? How do I know it will not happen again /

There is the normal Lock Screen passcode and there is a Restrictions passcode. They are each different. We don't know your passcode nor does Apple. If you forget the passcode:
Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
A
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
7. iOS - Unable to update or restore

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

Why does Batch Capture not work?

I have FCP 5+ installed on my new MacBook 15" Pro. Sony GVD 1000 deck. Fire wire.
It works fine except that I can not batch capture. When I execute the capture the tape rewinds to the IN point and then just plays. It does not seem to recognize the OUT point of the clip.
Capture NOW works fine but anythng else does not.
I have re-installed the program with negative improvement.
This system worked fune forever.
Thoughts anyone?
Ed

Sorry,
5.1, NTSC DV format.
This is a new install on a new machine. I also re-installed only FCP thinking that perhaps something went wrong with the original installl
I have just downloaded the last update 5.1.4 but have not tested it yet.
Also, although it will capture "NOW" the program will not recognize "play in point to out piont" button.
Thanks.

Why does image animation not display in project preview or published?

Most of my slides involve 4 images. I've staggered their appearance at .3, .5, .7 and .9 seconds. All works well when I preview the individual slide. But previewing the project, or publishing it, results in them all appearing simultaneously at .0 seconds. How do I correct this?
Thanks,
bberg1

Thanks for your reply. I checked the timelines and they look correct. Of course, I can see the timelines only in the preview of the individual slides, when the animation works fine. Capturing the slide preview timelines would therefore not help with the problem. Once I preview the entire project, the timelines are not accessible, and the images 4 images appear all at once at .0 seconds rather than sequentially at .3. .5 .7 and .9 as in the slide preview. What is most puzzling is that some of my projects, with the same settings as far as I can determine, work just fine in both the slide only and project preview.

Why does image trace not align with the image?

I'm using a fully updated version of Illustrator CC 2014 to trace images that have had the background removed by the client. No matter what settings I choose, it appears the tracing result is offset slightly in both X and Y axis. See my screenshot below. I found someone who reported this problem early last year in CS6 but received no useful suggestions. I do laser cutting and want to cut around the image so this is problematic. I originally thought perhaps the image had anti-aliasing or not fully white pixels in the background, but I'm using a threshold of 254 which means anything greater than (0,0,0) should become black. So while there could be off-white pixels to the right of his head that pushes the line past where I want it, the outline should include the hair and shirt on the left which it is not.

I cannot answer the specifics, but I would guess it is a software issue because Griffin iTalk app will cooperate with the Apogee JAM on an iPod Touch 4g running iOS5. If this app can do it, then one would presume the other apps could be updated to do it also.
From last week up until yesterday, Apogee actually listed the 4G Touch as a compatible device with the JAM.
Apparently there was some confusion about Garageband now supporting iPod Touch and its functionality with JAM.

Why does image capture show my phone twice

Its almost as if an older version of the phone with less number of pictures on the camera roll, appears under the correct one. The itunes shows the one with the 14 items.
I've never seen this before until the newest update a few days ago.

Look it shows this in iphoto too!

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. I am trying to import photos from my older Canon EOS-1D for the first time since my OS upgrade. iPhoto does not see the camera nor does Image Capture. IC says there is not a camera connected. Cable is known good.

If neither iPhoto not IC can seethe card it might suggest an issue with the card or the ports on the camera/mac.
Try reformat the card, change the ports and/or use a USB Card Reader.
