Image Capture

When I try to launch Image Capture I get the following message -

You can’t open the application “Image Capture” because it is being updated.

But I have nothing waiting to be updated, i've updated everything and quit the computer and relaunched but still I get this message.



iMac 21.5", macOS 10.13

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.


To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...

Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.

Does it work in the new account?
