Image Capture problem

My Image capture always opens in a tiny window , I have to manually resize it to use it.

When I reopen the software, its still the same.?

Sounds like permissions on a preferences file somewhere

Regards

Ian

Hello ianfromsidmouth,


We see that you need help with Image Capture on your Mac. You can figure out if unexpected behavior is related to a user file or setting by trying to reproduce the issue from another user account. This process includes creating a new user account, logging in to it, and testing for the issue.


Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac


Next, use safe mode to start up your Mac as it does the following things:


  • Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
  • Loads only required kernel extensions
  • Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
  • Disables user-installed fonts
  • Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files


Log in to your user account and test the issue while in safe mode and then restart normally and test the issue again.


How to use safe mode on your Mac

Graphics performance limited in macOS Recovery, safe mode, or Guest User mode
