Maverick OS X10.9.4 won't save scan from HP All in One

Have new iMac running OSX10.9.4 and am trying to scan from my old HP All in One Deskjet 3070A. I have managed to launch the scan function from System preferences, but it does not appear to be saving the scan anywhere. I have asked it to do the scan to the desktop and it is not there.
When I try and scan using the Old scan icon from along the bottom of my screen it comes up with an error message. Boo HIss HP, it is very complicated to have to go through system preferences. Please update the software!

Hi @pearl46
I can help you scan using your Deskjet 3070a despite there being no full feature software and drivers for 10.9.
I have seen the scan not save before in System Preferences, I believe I may have a quick solution for you. When you open the Scanner it does an overview, you might need to change the scan size. It seems that for some reason the Apple scan software is defaulting to custom and 0 x 0, thus it is not actually scanning and saving anything because the scan size is 0. I know it is strange ,but if you unselect custom, then change the scan size to the desired size, and click scan it should then save to the location you selected!
I hope this helps.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format
The scanner scans the document without a problem but when I select 'SAVE' and
specify a location and file name, a system error 'The HP scan application was
unable to save the file to the specified location'. It will save a regular PDF file
or a JPG file with no problem, but trying to save an searchable PDF or .rtf file
results in the above mentioned system error.
This problem occurs either from HP SCAN or from the 8600 scan panel.
The computer is running Windows XP and the I.R.I.S. OCR software is
loaded.

Hello TrailsEnd,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're receiving an error message "The HP scan application was unable to save the file to the specified location". I will do my best to assist you!
First, I would recommend downloading this tool called the Print and Scan Doctor. This tool diagnoses and helps resolve common printing, scanning, and connectivity problems, including: (This information is stated here.)

TS3147 Lion - Canon all in one won't save scans

I recently upgrded to Lion but my Can MP600 all-in-one cannot now save a scan.
I have downloaded the latest drivers, deleted and reinstalled the device but it won't save a scan.
Any suggestions?
Richard

I normally click a desk top icon called MP Navigator 3 and then click 'One Click' and 'Save as PDF File'. The software then shows calibration, follwed by Screening and finally 1 document copied.
But when I press Exit (which used to comple the process allowing me to save the scan to my iMac) I get the following - Unable to save file. The system cannot find the path selected.
Not sure what to do now - any further thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks, Richard

Epson scanner software, won't save scan

Thanks for the earlier responses to my question about using the Epson software within PS. So now I am doing a scan, stand alone, but once the popup comes up to save the scan someplace, there isn't a 'save' button to save it! I have to close the popup and the scan isn't saved. CS4, and epson perfection 4490 Photo. What???? What am I not seeing?? Or doing?? I don't understand... I'll look at Epson forum sites also.
Thanks.

You make a Preview scan and then, when you click on Scan, a dialog like the one below shows up.
When you click OK, the scan starts and the file is saved to the location you specified in the dialog.

Won't save photos from e-mail or texts?

I have an iPhone 4 that I purchased in March. Last month while trying to save a photo from a text, I went into the camera roll and in its place was a gray box with "JPG" in the middle where the photo should have been. Also, when I first clicked on the Photos app there was a very quick "Sorry, we're experiencing technical difficulties" screen that was so fast that I can't really remember if that's what it said exactly.
I called Apple tech support twice and they had me Reset All Settings, set up the phone as new on iTunes, restore it, then sync with the last backup I had had. This worked just fine until last night it happened again. I redid all of those steps but it will not work.
If I take a picture or save it from safari/google images it works just fine and shows up. However, it still will not let me save an image from a MMS text or from an e-mail.
Anybody else experience this or know what to do to be able to do this again?
(I was able to successfully do it that whole month in between when I called Apple in April until last night. I saved one from a text just last week)

Acrobat X won't save scans

I'm using Acrobat X 10.1.4 (with Windows 7 64-bit). Recently my computer was reimaged (the hard drive was wiped) and I had to reinstall all my applications, including Acrobat. Since then, when I try to scan directly into Acrobat using my HP ScanJet G4010, Acrobat "dies" after scanning my page--it just grays out and stops working. I never get the opportunity to save my scan. None of my equipment is any different, and everything was working fine prior to having to reinstall all my applications. My scanner driver is the same one as before the reimaging. I can do everything else I need to in Acrobat (i.e., open previously-created PDFs, create portfolios, print, etc.) Any idea why suddenly I can't save my scans?

The software has been fully activated including getting my serial number through registration of an academic account, activating my online account, and activating the account. There are, as far as I can tell, no further things that I need to do. By reinstalling the software I was able to get Acrobat to work again, but I am afraid now that I won't be able to run any updates.

IPad (4th gen) won't save photos from any source

This is a NEW iPad using iOS 6.1.2. I restored it from a backup of my previous iPad that was replaced under warranty last week. Here's what I've tried so far...
Reset (3X)
Privacy settings for Photos set to allow Facebook access
Taking pics and video with the iPad
It won't even save the photos I take with the iPad.
Suggestions appreciated.

I'm not sure this is related, but it sounds like it's worth checking to me:
You say you have set your privacy settings to allow Facebook access.
Are you signed on to Facebook (at Settings > Facebook)?
I would think you should be (but don't know this first hand).
Maybe toggling your Facebook login status would help. (If you're logged out, then log in. If you're logged in, then log out.)

Acrobat 9.4.1 won't save scanned document - occasionally

After scanning a document into Acrobat 9.4.1, I can not save the document. Pressing Save or Save As does not bring up a save diaglog box. Some times this works just fine, other time it does not work at all. This is on a Win 7 64 bit machine.

When I open PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.2, the "Save" option is grayed out.
Did you change the document?

Hi Panos_vz,
When you scan other resolutions does it work, is this the only setting that does not work?
If you can save other resolutions, please choose one of those resolution shortcuts and modify the resolution settings.
of course you would change the 75 to 2400. Then try scanning using this newly created shortcut.

Photoshop won't save Metadata from opened file!?

I have a somewhat strange workflow when it comes to using Lightroom so I'll try to explain it in order to make this as easy to understand.
I use Image Ingester to import my images on to a computer and then I rate them and tag them in Bridge. I then use ACR to convert them to DNG files and place them in a new folder (buckets from the DAM book). After that they get imported in to the proper catalog in Lightroom. I then find the images that I want and export them as originals to a derivatives hard drive. I work on the images in Photoshop, save them as a PSD in a derivative 'bucket' and then re-import them to Lightroom so they can be exported in a batch. When I export them from Lightroom to the derivative hard drive as a DNG or Original (same thing in this case) it retains its metadata that has been added. But as soon as I save it in Photoshop as a PSD it loses its metadata. I don't understand why this is happening.
I hope there is an easy fix for this.
Cheers,
Matthew

Hi,
Did you solve your save problem? I am having the exact problem suddenly. Never happened before and now can't solve it. Did a repair permissions after upgrade to iphoto 06; but can't save anything to desktop after bringing any photo from iphoto to photoshop. The same error is coming up
"Could not complete your request because of a program error"
Folks at Photoshop said it is definately an iphoto permissions problem, not photoshop.
If you figured it out, I'd sure appreciate your solution.

Windows 8.1 Metro Scan and MG6220 won't save scan

Got a new Dell Inspiron laptop. I am able to preview and scan a document in the Windows 8.1 Metro scan app, but I get an error message saying scan can't be saved. I downloaded the latest Canon Mimi Master software. Also, the regular Windows Fax & Scan app works fine. Anyone have a solution to get the Metro Scan App to work properly?

Hello CarolinaAsh,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to scan a document using the Officejet 4500 G510N. I will do my best to assist you! Did the Print and Scan Doctor detect a scanning problem?
How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB?
Did you install the full feature software on your computer successfully? I realize the scan capture or the Windows scan doesn't detect your printer, but could you try scanning a document using the HP software to see what happens. Please follow this HP document on How to Scan: Windows 8.
If you receive an error message, please let me know. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

Save as from Acrobat , all filenames read "PDF File"

Acrobat Pro 9.4.4 has developed a new to me bug. If I "save as" to a folder containing PDF files all the file names in the window read the file type "PDF FILE" (see the attachment) however, when I move the cursor on to any file the file name field will show the correct file name. This also happens when I try to import pages from an exsiting file and is highly inconvenient. This does not happen with any other application. I am running MS Windows 7 home premium. Can anyone suggest a solution please

Hi Chaitanya G,
the pdf retrieved from ftp server should be stored in data type xstring.
Then
pdf_content = cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix( pdf_xstring ).
document->add_attachment( i_attachment_type = 'PDF'
i_attachment_subject = lv_pdf_subject
i_attachment_size = pdf_size
i_att_content_hex = pdf_content ).

Clemens

Why won't my hp photosmart premium all-in-one printer - c309g print in color from my macbook air?

It prints from a Dell laptop and a Tobshiba laptop but not from my Mac

Hello,
Thanks for the post. We may have a couple of issues here, were you able to sucessfully download and install the drivers on your system? Are you using the correct printer in your print and fax? Since you can print color sucessfully from two other PC's, I would suspect a setting on your MAC. I've included a link below where you can download the drivers for this product. Good Luck!

New MBP won't print with Wifi HP All-in-one that it cam with from Apple

Hey, all just got a new MBP and the free HP all in one wireless printer.
After installing all the software and drivers I managed to bonjour it through our router or direct through USB.
Same on my iMAc
However, Wifi will hang for a few minutes , then start to print and then finish on the print queue but the page will be half printer etc.. With USB it prints straight away and complete pages.
Is this a bug in the drivers or what?
Thanks all,

iTunes, iPhoto, and Safari all use the same protocol for wireless device finding for shared items as the printer. Bonjour may be holding things up, if other items are attempting to share data over the network.
