Apple will not let me update my HP Scanner 8300 and will not update it from it's own sources.

I updated my HP Scanjet 8300 a few weeks ago after I received a message on my computer that updates for printer & scanner were available.  I have had nothing but trouble since then with the scanner.  I also inherited the Trovi virus after that update.
I tried to update the scanner again today, making sure I went through the HP website for downloads.  I downloaded the update and followed the instructions for proper installation. This included deleting my present software.   When I tried to install the software update that I successfully downloaded, I got a popup with this message:
"HP Scanjet Update for OS X 10.7.mpkg" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. "
Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers.
“HP Scanjet Update for OS X 10.7.mpkg” is on the disk image “HP-Scanjet-Update-for-OS-X-10.7.dmg”. Safari downloaded this disk image today at 10:10 AM from h10025.www1.hp.com.
I went back to Apple updates and found information that HP no longer updated our HP appliances and that MAC OS X Mountain Lion automatically provided these updates for their Mac users.  I restarted my computer expecting to see improvement, but now my scanner is completely gone from my computer and no updates are available.   I am outraged that Apple would completely disable my scanner.  I use it all the time. 
I really need help.  Please!
I originally installed the scanner when I had Snow Leopard.   I now have Mountain Lion - not because I didn't like Snow Leopard, but because I had my computer repaired and they installed Mountain Lion.

I am sorry for the delay in answering.  TWC email sometimes takes several days to get to me.
I am embarrassed to say that I did not read closely the message that was provided when I clicked on Control Clicked / Open.  I did go back and continue the process and thought I had installed the update.  The end message stated that the installation was successful, but I could not find the scanner anywhere, even with intense searching.  I have reinstalled it twice again with no scanner installed.  I did find files in the Saved Application State but they take only a few KBs of space and the software should have taken 22.4 MBs.
I have messages now posted in two different HP Communities and will continue to try that route to help, but right now it looks dismal.  If you have any more explanations or advice I would love hearing from you.  Could the Trovi component cause this problem?  I thought I was rid of it but I don't really know what to look for other than not having it take over my home page - which it has not done recently.
I really appreciate your help, and I take your advice to heart about not using the older CD and I will not attempt to revert to Snow Leopard.  I am really afraid it would mess up iPhoto  and that would be devastating.

  • Apple mail not uploading messages from server

    i've got a weird problem - about a week ago, my apple mail program stopped uploading messages to one of my emails accounts. i've been getting messages to that account, and when i right click on the account, apple mail shows me that i have like 100 + unread messages on my pop server, but for some reason, it isn't uploading the messages so that i can access them.
    i've spent nearly 2 hours troubleshooting. i even deleted the whole account and made it again, and it did the same thing. this makes me think there is something with my email host or something.
    any ideas?

    When you say “uploading” you actually mean “downloading”, right?
    Sometimes messages left on the server clog up the account there, or Mail chokes on a message it cannot download and that prevents it from downloading the rest as well. Solving this problem will probably require deleting one or more messages from the server. What are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings for this account?
    You may tell Mail to remove from the server all the messages that have already been downloaded doing Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove now. Alternatively, you may use the Account Info window to remove specific messages from the server. And if the account allows web access, you may also remove messages from the server that way.
    Try first removing from the server messages that have already been downloaded. If that doesn’t work, you’ll probably have to delete the first message not downloaded yet. You may want to try to download those messages with another mail client such as Thunderbird first, to avoid losing them -- and use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to import them back into Mail afterwards if you wish.

  • Apple Configurator not deleting metadata from music and books?

    We set up an iPad cart for our pilot program using 30 iPads. We did a basic configuration on them all, then established a backup to restore from. We took a couple of the iPads and added photos, books from iBooks, books from iTunesU, and some music. After restoring the iPads from the backup 1 of them looks fine but the other still shows the music (althought it doesn't play), books (which you can read) and a course in iTunesU (which you can browse). We're using a single institutional ID on all the iPads and we're not sure why we can't get this iPad to delete these items.. The backups were done on an iPad that hadn't been used for anything after the initial configuration.
    any ideas?

    The Music that will be on the iCloud are only the ones you bought on iTunes and the ones you uploaded using Match service.
    Otherwise, you need to make sure that iCloud is Turn ON on both devices - settings/iCloud

  • Does Remote Desktop let you log into a work computer and allow you to work from home?

    I want to know if this is a program I shuld purchase where I can log into my computer at work from home & work from home?

    http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/
    But if all you need is to connect to and from your work computer, whether to take control of the other computer or to access files, ARD would be overkill. You can share files via the built-in file sharing and you can take control via one of the free solutions such as VNC or LogMeIn (assuming your work's network allows such access).

  • I have to login on my old Apple ID to make some update.

    Hi guys!
    I had some problem when I changed my email because it was infected with advertisment! After changing the email to all my accounts, I had a problem with the App Store.
    I have some updates to do but I always receive this message:

    Can you guys please help me?!

    Apps are forever part of the Apple ID used to buy them. Apple does not transfer apps from one ID to another and Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will need to sign into this Apple ID to update your apps or throw them away and buy them again with the new Apple ID that you have created.

  • Can't update apps from old apple id

    I updated my apple id e-mail and now I can't update an app associated with the old e-mail.  The old password won't work and when I have it send an e-mail to reset my password I never get the e-mail.

    Did you update the email used in the old Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? If you made a new Apple ID, that was not a good idea. Content is for ever tied to the ID that bought it. Only that I can be used to redownload content and to update the content. Apple does not tranfer content from one Apple ID to another nor does Apple merge Apple IDs. You will need to continue to use the old ID to update the content or abandon it all as is.

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID. Your only option is to delete the content and buy it again with the new Apple ID.

  • HT4484 I have changed my apple I'd but am having a problem with iCloud and the App Store accepting the changed I'd what do I do?

    I changed my apple I'd  but the App Store and iCloud are still using my old ID. What do I do to get them to use my new Id?

    An iCloud acount is tied to the Apple ID, if you have created a new Apple ID then you will need to create a new iCloud account.

    All content that you bought using the old Apple ID is forever tied to that ID can only be redownloaded, updated and access using that Apple ID. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another and Apple does not merge Apple IDs.

    Hey erinoneill24,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.

    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=de_DE_1
    If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    Have a nice day,

  • When i try to download an update the dropdown automatically inserts my apple id which is wrong. It's in gray and will not allow me to type in a correct id. How do I stop / delete the automatic insertion of the id?

    When i try to download an update from the appstore the dropdown  menju automatically inserts my apple id (which is wrong). It's in gray and will not allow me to type in the correct id. How do i stop the auto insert so that i can enter the correct id?

    the original apple id was entered incorrectly. Apple says it must be a email address.  My email address is correct but the letter ( t ) somehow got added to the (.com) so that when i try to enter my id it is automaticly loaded with the email address the ends ( .comt ) . According to Apple this is not a "legal" email id.  But it appears on my dropdown in gray and i cannot alter it or delete it, thus preventing me from downloading software updates.
