Image capture said not accessible selected folder writable

I am running 10.11.5. Have not used the Image Capture for some time and when used today, it scanned a look very well but gave me the message "the selected folder is not writable" when I went to the analysis and save it. I tried saving the file on the desktop. The first thing I did was to check the permissions, but to no avail.

I wasn't having a problem with preview none-the-less, I moved the folder ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Preview on the desktop, but that no longer works.

Someone has any idea of what could be wrong?

Create a new folder on the desktop and save in this folder as a Test.

  • image capture does not recognize my iPhone when I connect to my mac?

    I have the iPhone, when I connect it to my photos of mac does not open... How can I put on it to open it

    Hello rosrich,

    If I understand your message that you are eager to the Mac to open Image Capture when you connect your iPhone so that you can import the photos. I would like to have the possibility of having an auto app launch when I connect my iPhone as well. I'll be happy to help you with this.

    If you go ahead and open Capture of Image and then connect the iPhone, in the lower left corner, you will see the name of your iPhone and the "connection this iPhone opens:" you have the option to choose what app that you like. So if you want Image Capture to open when you connect your iPhone, you would select which. If you want pictures to open, you would select Photos instead. Information on the AutoImporter lies in the following article:

    Hey there, at0m87!

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I understand from the information you provided, when you connect your iPhone and open picture Capture, there are missing thumbnails. I manage my own photos on my Mac, so I can understand wanting and needing these thumbnails to display correctly. I have a few things you can try to help him.

    1. Eject your iPhone from the computer and stop Capture of Image. Press in and hold the SHIFT key on your keyboard while reopening of Capture of Image again. Connect your iPhone and the test of the miniatures.
    2. Restart your Mac. Stop the Image Capture, eject your iPhone from the computer, and then click the menu  Apple in the upper left corner of your screen. In the menu, choose "restart". When you start the computer, open picture Capture and connect your iPhone. Test the thumbnails.
    3. Look for updates on Mac and your iPhone.

      The following article will help to check and install updates for your Mac.

      Update the software on your Mac

      The following article will help you to check and install updates for your iPhone.

      Update the software on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch iOS

    4. Check Image Capture thumbnails in safe mode. Eject your iPhone from the computer, and then follow the steps outlined in the article below the link to start in safe mode

      Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

      Even if the title of the article is not specific to your question, safe mode is always a good step to take. It performs several checks of your system during the boot process, and disables some software that could cause a conflict.

    5. Try the Image Capture in a new user account. The article in the link below will give you instructions on the implementation of a new account, as well as some information as to why this may be useful.

  • Image capture does not recognize scanner

    I have three Macs. An old iMac (early 2008), MacBook Pro (early 2011) and a newly acquired iMac 4K retina. All are running 10.11.4. I have an Epson Perfection V370, who is about two years old attached to the new machine. She was attached to the old iMac Image Capture when he recognized without problems. On the new machine, which it is now fixed, picture Capture is no sign of him and nor does the component prefs printers and Scanners. He appears in the USB of the app information system section. It works very well with Epson Scan and also with VueScan. I downloaded the latest driver on the Epson web site with no change in this behavior.

    Someone at - it clues as to how I could do this job?

    I have now found the solution to this Epson buried on site. What I had to do was run Capture of Image, choose "Devices to TWAIN Reset" on the file menu and restart the Mac. The scanner then appeared in preferences, printers and Scanners and today works with the Image Capture. The page on the Epson site says I need to uninstall Epson Capture and reinstall. I found that I didn't have to do.

  • Image capture is no longer open JPEG files?

    I have a Canon Pixma 5320 printer who has worked with Image Capture under OS X Yosemite. El Capitan 10.11.4 waited upgrade came out before installing it. Now the printer seems to be able to scan, but Image Capture can not open files in any format. I downloaded the latest driver on the Canon Website, but no cigar. I did not remove my Canon in the Applications folder, however.

    I didn't know he can open files of any type. Image capture is to take pictures of a device and import them to your Mac. It is not an image viewer. I can't even remember there being a command open on the file menu.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910: Selected folder is not writable

    I got this message only when you try to scan in PDF format.  Select JPEG that works.  File is not protected, and I tried several locations.  PDF has worked in the past.

    Hi alhurley,

    Thanks for joining the forums of HP Support for a solution to your problem of scanning.

    I understand that you use a HP Officejet Pro 8500 has e-all-in-one printer with a computer Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan and wen you were trying to scan in PDF you received a message that says that the "selected folder is not writable. I would like to help with that.

    What you're probably dealing with is a permissions problem with the folder selected when you try to save the scan. I visited the communities of Apple Support and found a possible solution, click here to visit this page.

    Someone else found that they had to create a new folder to save the scans at because the older folder was left by an upgrade of Mac OS X.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

  • Unable to make an accessible folder writable in Windows Vista

    I'm working on an Aspire 3690 laptop with Windows Vista Home Basic Service Pack 2. I installed EasyPHP - 5.3.3 to operate as WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP). And extracted CakePHP 1.3.3 in the root of the document that is located in c:\program files\easyphp-5.3.3\www\cakeblog\. The app\tmp folder and its subfolders have an attribute 'read only' and I want to remove this so that I can make records in writing.

    The first thing I tried was to change the attribute of Windows Explorer. But whenever I make changes here changes don't stick.

    The second thing I tried was to change the attribute of the command line. C:\Program files\easyphp-5.3.3\www\cakephp\app I tried the following: attrib - r + s tmp. After which, I confirmed the changes as follows: attrib tmp. And it returns the path of the folder and S as an attribute. "I have reload the application on my browser and still get the ' folder not accessible error in writing". When I open Windows Explorer there always the 'read only' attribute, and the command-line, there of the ' attribute. I also tried the following variations (which seem to all work on the command line, but the changes reflect ever on the browser or Windows Explorer):

    1. > attrib - r + s tmp
    2. > attrib - r tmp
    3. > attrib - r s tmp
    4. and all the open air with the following options added at the end: / s and / d
    The result is always the same: app browser continues to consider not accessible files writable; Explorer Windows always considers not accessible files writable; and a control on the command line doesn't show any attribute of R.
    I tried everything above on an elevated command line. Did not work.
    I tried all the above after going in the Security tab of the folder properties and gave myself a total control over the records of said. I tried again to the user and the administrator. Did not work.
    The last thing I tried was to climb to the next level and try to change these attributes thinking it's maybe a legacy issue. Nothing works.

    Hello

    See the following article for a description of what you see on these files.

  • JPEG image is displayed in the selected image files folder

    When the discovery of the computer and selecting the image file folder - I use to get the small real individual images of each image in the folder without having to enter in the Windows Photo Gallery.  Now, I have only an icon, the same as that for each of the images and the only way I can see that the actual image is to select a specific icon and hope that is the image I'm looking for.  Can someone tell me how I can get all the individual photos in the folder of image file to display when I select that folder?

    Hi looking, advanced

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    I first suggest you to change the display of the photo icons folder type medium or large icons and check if that helps.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    Open the photo folder. Click view > select icons medium or large icons.

    Make sure that default programs > associate a file or protocol type with a program, file types .bmp, .ico, DIBs, .jfif, .jpeg, .jpe, .png, .png, .tiff, .tif, .wdp file names must have the default program like Windows Photo Gallery.

    Otherwise, select the type of file name, click on change program and browse to choose as default Windows Photo Gallery.

    Additionally, set the global folder options

    To specify the global settings that apply to all folders, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Folder Options.
    2. On the general tab, click the options you want.
    3. In the view tab, click the options you want.
    4. Click OK.

    Note To restore the default settings for all folders, click restore defaults on the general tab or on the view tab.

    Use the same display settings for all folders

    You can apply the same view settings to all folders on your computer. You cannot apply the same view settings for all folders, images icons, toolbar settings or tasks folder. To apply the same view settings to all folders, follow these steps:

    1. Locate and open the folder which includes the display setting you want to use for all folders.
    2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. On the view tab, click apply to all folders.
    4. Click Yes, and then click OK.

    Note To reset all folders to the default display settings, repeat these steps, but click reset all folders in step 3.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.
