And if it does, then you could import your data. If you did a clean installation of Lion without importing your data and then tested the operation of Image Capture, the theory is that it will work fine. I say that because the offending file/s may still be present in the system after you upgrade. There is no guarantee that upgrading to Lion will fix this issue.

If this also fails to scan then it would suggest a scanner driver (ICA) issue.Īs an aside, I have an iMac 8.1, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 duo with 4 GB 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM.ĭo you think it would be worth upgrading to Lion or newer-might this correct the problem So as a test, you could connect the MX to the Mac via USB cable and then see if you can scan with Image Capture - note that you would have to use the Devices entry in Image Capture.

I do see the Devices and Shared on the left when opening Image Capture but neither is highlighted and clicking on either one does nothing.Īt this stage it is still not clear what could be the cause.
