You cannot open "Image Capture.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete

Any ideas how to deal with this.
I figured I could download a version of it, but cannot find a Mac OS download site

I have the identical problem. I tried re-installing the bundled software from the OSX install discs, but that didn't help. I don't really want to re-install and then update the entire OS, and I'd rather not spend $20 for shareware. Is there any other way to fix this non-functioning application?

  • My IPhoto broke it says you cant open the application "iPhoto" because it may be damaged or incomplete

    it says this you can't open the application "iPhoto" because it may be damaged or incomplete please help me

    reinstall from the original source
    Could be
    1 - the restore disks that came with the computer
    or
    2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
    or (most likely for the limited information you provided)
    3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

    You need a more technically saavy cat, for a start.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

    Here’s some updates.
    I can not uninstall Flash (CS4) using "Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium". It looks like Flash is not installed.
    If I try to install it using the disk, it looks like Flash is not installed at all. So I go thrue the installation process, and follow the instructions, until it’s complete.
    But if I go in my App folder, and look in the Adobe Flash CS4 folder the Flash.app icon has a circle with a bar in it. This is when I get the message.

  • After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  It gives me the following error "You can't open the application "QuickTime Player.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete."  What can I do?

    After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  I receive the following error message:
    You can’t open the application “QuickTime Player.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete.  So I tried to unistall QT and I get an error that says, You can not delete this application as it is a requirement for the OSX.
    Well I did find a way to delete it, by going into the various components and one by one deleting it.  Now I reinstall it and  the message is that this Quick Time is for an earlier version before Maverick 7.  SMH....Now what.?

  • You can't open the application "iAd Producer.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete.

    After installing Itunes Producer when I try to open I get this message: “iAd Producer.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete.
    Whats the problem?
    Thanks
    Josef

    Hi,
    Just for clarification.  Did you have iAd Producer already installed on your system?  If so, which version? Then you installed iTunes Producer?  And when you launch iTunes Producer, you get a message saying that iAd Producer is damaged/incomplete?
    Thanks,

  • You can't open the application "Photos" because it may be damaged or incomplete

    Hi All,
    When trying to open photos after a restore I receive the error message "You can’t open the application “Photos” because it may be damaged or incomplete.
    I have had a look under the application and the it is empty, the problem is I cannot seem to find it in the App store to do a re download and reinstall, any one have any ideas?.

    Photos is included in the system install now so you'll need to boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and reinstall the system and, with it, Photos.  Repair disk permissions with Disk Utility after the installation.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
    Important:
    As you're on 10.9.3 you'll need to update iPhoto to v9.5 before opening it. Use Software update.

  • HT1338 Why am I getting a message "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete" - v11, purchased and installed before Lion upgrade

    I get the message "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." This is a currently support iPhoto'11. Purchased and installed prior to OS X Lion upgrade. Was working, and now it is not. What might have happened? I saw  that Apple updated iPhoto in the App Store, but that is not where I purchased this. I tried Software Update, but it said all the software was up to date.
    Suggestions?

    What is your iPhoto version and how did you install it originally?
    If it came with a new mac and Lion or Mt. Lion installed, you can delete iPhoto from the Applications folder (don't empty the Trash) and download it again from the "Purchased" tab of the App Store.
    If you have bought the iLife CD, reinstall iPhoto from the installation media, after deleting it from the Application folder.
    Or if your Mac came with an older MacOS X, but iLIfe preinstalled, use the system Install CDs,  see Terence Devlin's post here:  Re: My iPhoto isn't working. Error message says "you can't open the app "iPhoto" because it may be damaged or incomplete.
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S: This may not only be a problem of a broken iPhoto. What did you do, directly before this happened? Did you run a program, that will clean the Mac to save space, like "Clean My Mac" or "Mac Keeper"? These little helpers can be risky and overdo it and remove too much. Then it might be safer to reinstall your system, because other essential files might be missing now.
