image capture does not recognize ipad anymore

I used to use Image Capture a lot to view photos on my iPad Pro.

After downloading photos to the iPad from my camera, it was handy to select the ones from the camera [identified as Canon] or the ones I took with the iPad [Apple].


It was easier to remove the camera files via Image Capture leaving the Apple ones to move to a folder on the Mac afterwards.


Now, I cannot do that anymore.


Quite sure no upgrades since the last time I used it.


Still at El Capitan.



Thanks for your help.

iMac 21.5", OS X 10.11

You may need to upgrade your OS version to something newer.


Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.
