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 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 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 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 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 my MacBookPro not see the WiFi signal?

When I open up my MacBookPro in the room where the WiFi transmitter is located it will not connect with it. When inspecting the networks list I notice that my own network is not listed. When the name of the home network does appear trying to connect with it will lead to a timeout error.
When I take the computer upstairs (3rd level, 20 meters away from the WiFi box and have two solid concrete floors between it) the network will be recognized and connected to right away.
Windows 7 computers, the iPad, an IPodtouch, and 4 smartphones of diverse brands do not have this problem. My other Macbook with osx 10.6 has the same problem.
Anybody solved this?

Try the following on your MBP, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

Why does Photoshop Elements not see my CD/DVD drives?

I have a CD/DVD drive and a Blu-Ray drive. Windows sees both and has no issues, but Elements does not show them for catalog backups nor even in the system information.

Hi Matthew,
I'm not familiar with the Daemon tools programme but the loss of the CD/DVD drive is a known problem when removing certain software from you notebook.
The Microsoft Knowledge Base has several artocles about the problem and how to resolve it.

Why does iTunes 11 not see my second generation iPod touch?

I have a 2nd gen iPod touch which is supposed to work with iTunes 11 (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12242) and was a few months ago. I only sync it occasionally since I use it as a jukebox in my vehicle. The iPod is model PB528LL with IOS version 4.2.1 (8C148). iTunes is version 11.1 on OS X 10.8.5. The iPod is recognized by iPhoto, but not iTunes. I've tried resetting it but it didn't help.

I tried all those steps with no luck, but when I restarted my keyboard stopped working too. I powered completely off, then back on and that fixed it.

Why does my pc not see my new HP 6520 unless I reconnect the printer each time I need to use it?

New HP 6520 is driving me mad. It remains connected to my wi-fi solidly all the time, but my HP notebook (Windows 7) cannot see it unless and until I go through the wireless setup on the printer using the same IP etc.
I have added the HP printer software to the firewall (Norton) traffic rules and added its IP address to my router, to no avail. Otherwise it remains invisible to the rest of the network, which is a huge, huge pain.
Bottom line - I cannot print or scan or use the printer, despite the fact that it remains solidly connected to my network unless I reconnect it from the printer control panel. Seldom have I come across a more user unfiendly piece of kit and would much appreciate someone giving me a steer as to making the darned thing work as it should.

And that, dear cns518, is exactly what I am going to do and never again think of HP when it comes to buying a printer. My son, very experienced, runs his own internet business and he had a go and got it working for a while and then, without reason it stopped again and has reverted to 'you want to print matey?, ,Then best you turn off Wi-FI and then back on again and I might think about it'.
The printer mechanics seem good, but what is the point of such a useless software setup that none seem able to get right. Am off to the store from whence it came tomorrow, so bye-bye HP 6520 and over to something that will work out of the box.

Why does my iMac not 'see' a hard drive now?

Hello
Having had all sorts of problems with my iMac 24" (2008) - mostly spinning beach balls - I decided to format and reinstall from scratch.
I used disk utility and erased my hard disk (probably incorrectly!) and now I'm stuck.
I've used my original Leopard install disk and can get as far as 'Select a destination' - but no disk appears on which to install.
When I go back to Disk Utility - - no hard drive is showing at all. (just shows Pioneer DVD-RW DVR- and the install disc).
Before I take to a professional repairer, can anyone make any suggestions of action I could try?
Any help welcomed! TIA
David

Hi BDAqua
Thanks for responding.
After my post, I went for a walk by a local river, giving my iMac (and me!) time to cool down. When I returned, I switched on my computer ....... and this time the disk DID show up! Duh! <shakes head>
Long story short, I installed Leopard, then Snow Leopard - updated - and then successfully installed Mountain Lion, which I am using now.
However, having read here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2433700?start=0&tstart=0
I supect that it is just a matter of time before my hard disk 'gives up the ghost'!
All data I value is stored elsewhere - I'm hopefully ready for anything!
Cheers
David

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.

How do i get mavericks image capture to see a networked scanner?

we have a networked scanner, an imac & a mac mini. prior to upgrading the imac to mavericks from snow leopard [mini is still on snow leopard], neither had any issues using image capture with the scanner. since upgrading the imac to maverics, when i start up image capture, it does not see the scanner as a shared device, even though it is seen in the system pref/printer-scanner app. i have to reboot the imac to get the image capture to see the scanner. i am in the middle of scanning hundreds, if not a thousand, of old photos & this is a PITA.

Assuming the iTunes and AppleTV are set for Home Sharing, navigate to the iTunes library listing under Computers on AppleTV - there should be a new Rentals row along with Music, TV Shows etc.
The movie must download fully to iTunes before becoming available. Also check it's still in iTunes and hasn't expired due to playing it inadvertently too soon.
