Yosemite Can't Auto Delete In Image Capture

I have always used Image Capture instead of something like iPhoto or Aperture to transfer my iOS device pictures to my Mac. Since Yosemite, something has changed. There used to be a "Delete after importing" button in Image Capture, but now there is no such button:
Everything is the same otherwise. The button is also listed in Help, but it doesn't exist in the app:
Is anyone else having this issue? I am using an iPad Air and a Mac Pro.

I noticed this immediately after "upgrading" to Yosemite and it's very annoying. I have a 16GB iPhone and capture many photos/videos of my kids then download them to my MacBook every week or two. The removal of the delete button in Image Capture makes copying photos/videos off the iPhone a clunky process where I have to download them and then go to the phone and manually delete everything I just copied (then go empty the new 30 day deleted items folder to actually free up that space). In theory the iCloud shared photos will be an alternate to this but that's in beta right now and is not an instantaneous way to download a video recently captured directly to the computer. I realize Apple just wants me to buy a larger storage capacity phone but it's really annoying to lose features that were quick and simple and replace them with clunky multi step processes.

Can't take pictures with Image Capture - Canon Camera

I can't take pictures using Image Capture using either my Canon Power Shot A710IS or my husband's SD600. I can download pictures with both cameras, but if I switch to shooting mode, Image Capture says "No Image Capture Device Connected." I know it worked with my PowerShot A75, but my *&%$ son broke it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Karen

I would call (800) 828-4040 Canon Tech Support. I have found them very helpful, and its easier than typing here

Can you change the default image capture program in RH8?

Can you change the default image capture program in RH8? I have used Snagit for sooo many years and I would like to use it by clicking the Caputre button. I know how to change it to edit pictures with Snagit (Tools > Options > Associations), but not to capture.

Looks like a feature request.

Yosemite 10.10.3 Bug in Image Capture - no automatic delete

After updating Yosemite to 10.10.3, the "Delete After Import" feature in Image Capture no longer works. The images import properly, but they do not automatically delete (even though the box is checked). You are then able to manually delete the images, but one image is always permanently un-deletable (I was able to replicate this bug by importing images from my iPhone, iPad and Canon Digital Camera).

Don't think it's a bug, just tried with my iPhone 4s and image capture imported pictures followed by deleting same from phone - same with manual delete, all removed if all selected. Think the clue to your issue might be the fact you can not manually delete a particular picture, is it protected or could it be corrupt?
Try deleting the troublesome picture via the iDevice and then see what happens when you attempt importing others, if you have the same issue but on another picture you might try restoring the iDevice (but that will not resolve the problem if it also happens with the camera!).
I might just be lucky, wait and see if others report similar problem after 10.10.3 upgrade.

How can I replace a damaged Image Capture in locked Lion Application folder?

I am running a MacBook Air on 10.7.2. Image Capture is "damaged or incomplete" and cannot be opened. I have a copy of IC from my other mac running Lion, but cannot copy it into the Apps folder on my MacBook Air because IC cannot be modified or deleted since it is "needed by Mac OS X." Is there an easy way to unlock the Apps folder? Thanks.

I finally figured out a way to do this. I right-clicked to show the package contents for the corrupted application. Then copied in the contents from a functioning version. Gave administrator permission to make the change. Relaunched the finder and the damaged application was back up and running and no longer greyed out.

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.

Can't import photos using image capture or iphoto

When I plug in the iphone to my mac, I cannot get the photos off the phone. I did it once before, while leaving the original photos on the phone, but now I photo says there was an error importing 38 items, which happen to be the 38 photos I've taken since my initial import. Image capture "imports" them onto my desktop, but the files are unreadable?
Is this something with the phone or the computer, or simply a software issue.
Please help....
Gavin

i deleted HD cache and user cache as well as image capture prefs and IC performed better right away but then had same issue where iphone stops importing photos. pretty crappy...it seems image capture has never worked right (not in 10.3, not in 10.4, and still not in 10.5, don't remember if 10.2 or 10.1 had image capture) atleast before it would import the photos; progress indicator would get stuck but upon opening user picture folder, photos imported fine. We might be SOL, thanks Steve's Dev Team!

Can I auto-delete Album photos from Library once Album itself is deleted ? (iPhoto)

Tell me I've missed something really simple, please !
I've just spent 3 hours carefully selecting 250 single photos dotted around my entire iPhoto Library (8,000 pics)
I've put them in an Album ready to export.
After exporting this Album, I will want to delete the Album - and, crucially, all the originals from my Library - surely I don't have to spend another 3 hours sifting through the 8,000-strong Library again to relocate each of the 250 ? Isn't there some one-click option, having exported the Album, and now ready to delete the Album, like, e.g. Delete Originals from Library After Deleting this Album ?? (I understand I can't only delete the Album to get rid of these pics completely, cos the originals will stay hidden and dispersed about the Library)
Thank you for any help

Why can't I delete an Image in lightroom 5, but can remove it from a collection?

Just recently I have been experiencing difficulties in deleting images in Lightroom 5. In the develop module, I select the image I would like to delete, I choose delete from disk, and choose permanently delete them, and nothing happens. I try flagging it with an X, and under photo menu delete all rejected photos, but that does not work either. What may I be doing wrong? Thanks for all your help.

I came on here wondering the same thing after trying all the things you just mentioned! Can anyone tell us how to delete photos? Thanks

How can I auto delete certain pages

I need to delete some pages in a large PDF file. The headings are unique. For example, If each page of the file contained the name of a country as the heading and a description of that country in the body; I would need to identify certain countries and delete those pages. Thanks, in advance.

That is not a simple task. You would need to loop over the pages, checking their contents word-by-word using the getPageNthWord method until you find what you're after. Then you would delete the page using the deletePages method. Just keep in mind that removing items in an array that you're iterating over can cause problems, so it's better to iterate from the end of it to the start.

Can you auto save an image with webcam?

Is there a way to automatically save an image from the webcam to a folder without having to click a button, or can you make the button take the image and save it to a folder as well, without a pop up saying "choose the folder to save to"?

Can mail auto-delete old mail from specific folders?

I would like to have mail automatically delete mail older than one month in specific folders where I store email from mailing lists. Is there a way to get mail to do this without my having to select the messages in the folder and "apply rules"?
It seems that rules are only applied to new messages or ones you select.
Automator does not have an option to "find messages" which are "older than..." It does allow you to select messages recieved "before..." but you have to set a specific date.

Thanks for your help Mulder, I'll try to clarify.
The effort is indeed made here to clean up messages I've received - typical mailing list folders can grow out of control quickly without a little maintenance.
I did make some Rules, ones anchored on both the sender name and date received, with the action being to send the matched messages to the Trash, or to simply change the highlighting as a test.
It was never, and still is not, clear to me whether I must manually initiate these rules. I would hope not, however I was never able to see them work, even with the most basic of criteria, whether left to their own devices or manually selecting apply rules from the menu.
Anyways, I guess my point here is to validate my suspicion that Rules are indeed the one and only way one would accomplish this?

IPhone can't AUTO DELETE old email and messages?

Darn what a pain in the butt. This is definately one area where the BlackBerry beats the iPhone. There are not many, but here and there do I discover them. Or is there a way?

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs. The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue? I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
Thanks.

I had the same problem.
Got a 90% fix. Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
1. Quit Image Capture
2. Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
3. Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
4. Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
5. Quit and restart "Image Capture". Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder. It insists on saving to "Pictures".
That's as far as I was successful. I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
This is what I tried:
6. Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
7. Quit "Image Capture". Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
8. Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
9. Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer. I like "~/Desktop"
10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter. Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
I consider this a bug.
