Atto UL5D won't see my scanner

Hello everyone,
I have installed my new Atto UL5D card into my MacPro (Early 2008). The Atto utility sees the card fine.
However, I cannot get my scanner to appear within the 'system profiler'.
I have tried various combinations of SCSI port, terminator and SCSI id.
I am running OSX 10.6 and the latest versions of the Atto software.
Any idea?
Thanks!!!!
George

SCSI Busses use a Driver circuit similar to "Open Collector". It is pulled low (toward Zero Volts direction) when a device uses it, and left alone when unused, so that another device can pull it low to activate it. It requires a Terminator to coax it into the High Inactive state (near 5Volts). To make this work, some device somewhere on the Bus must supply 5 Volts onto a common wire called Termination Power. The Terminator picks that up to run its active circuits.
The most common setup would be to turn on the Termination switch. It is worth a try. I am not sure that would be adequate, and it does not assure that there is Termination Power.
A better setup would be to place an Active terminator on the second SCSI port, but a DB50 Active terminator may be hard to find. It still does not assure that there is Termination Power.
The reason I am skeptical about Termination Power is that the scanner has a really tight power budget, and the designers may not have wanted to provide the extra power needed to run the Terminator.
Another device that is not power-constrained, like a hard drive enclosure, was what I was thinking of to provide Termination Power.

MacBook Pro Late 2008 won't see my scanner

I have a new MacBook Pro. I noticed that I could not find my scanner anywhere in the system. I installed Adobe Acrobat and went to create a pdf from a scanner and the software could not find my device.
Any tips on how to get the system to see my scanner? I have an HP Photosmart 2710.
Thanks.

Did you load the scanner software?
I have an epson scanner that required that I installed specific drivers before being able to use the scanner.

Mtn Lion won't see CanoScan LiDE 90

10.8.2 won't see my CanoScan LiDE 90 scanner, which worked just fine via Preview until very recently (must be a recent sw update caused this?) I've installed new driver from Canon, but system doesn't recognize it's there -- not even in Apps. Any ideas? Thanks.

ThinkPad Bluetooth Sees Other BT Objects, but Won't See My BT Mouse

My ThinkPad T420S Bluetooth is happily paired with my BT Printer and with a ThinkPad Bluetooth Mouse. It will also "see" my BlueTooth phone when I make the phone's BT discoverable. When I tried to pair it with a new Lenovo BT Mouse or with a new Targus Bluetooth Comfort Laser Mouse by using Bluetooth's "Add Device" Box, however, neither mouse would appear in the "Add Device" box.
I have a ThinkPad 420S, Windows 7, 64 bit, Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator (driver version 6.1.7601.17889) and ThinkPad Bluetooth 3.0 (driver version 6.5.1.4500). The Device Manager says that my Bluetooth is working properly.
When my ThinkPad failed to "see" a new Lenovo ThinkPad Laser Mouse, I assumed that the new mouse must be faulty and returned it. But now that it won't see a new Targus BT Comfort Laser Mouse, either, I'm puzzled. In both cases, the mice had new batteries.
What baffles me is that my ThinkPad's bluetooth can see other discoverable BT devices -- including my old Lenovo BT Laser Mouse, which I was trying to replace because the left button has started to get temperamental.
Puzzling, no? Any suggestions?

Upon further research I have learned that A2DP is not supported with any OSX 10.4.11. I think using Jack might be as close as I can get.

Extension Manager won't See My products?

Hello,
I am running windows 7 64bit and have the CS5 Master suite. Due to low disk space I installed the suite on an external drive which the computer saw as (I) Later I installed a Card reader and it changed all my drive letters, so now the hard drive is seen as (L). For awhile a was able to use Photoshop or any of the programs until I figured out how to change the path in properties to go to the (L) Drive instead of looking for a non existant (I).
Now I can open the products, but the Extension manager won't see them at all and when I try to install a new purchase or download I get this: http://prntscr.com/spmmq and this is the version I am using http://prntscr.com/spn0a, I do have CS6 as well, but it crashes 2-3 times a day from random things and I have a lot of stuff my photoshop has to load, so it takes almost 1.5 hours to get back up after a crash.. grrr!!!
I tried downloading CS5 Extension manager to reinstall it, but when I did that it was forcing the installation the the non existant drive (I) I couldn't change the path and when I went to unistall the Extension Manager, there was no option for it to be removed??
So the question is... is there a way to have my extension manager find the products on the (L) drive???
Thank you for any help,
J

PSE 12 for Mac doesn't see my scanner

PSE12 for Mac refused to work with my scanner. In preferences I checked "Additional Plug-Ins Folder" and selected the Optional Plug-Ins Folder which contains the TWAIN.plugin. I restarted the PSE and the File> Import... command remains dimmed out. Tried resstarting the iMac and PSE still doesn't see the scanner. PSE 11 used to recognize the scanner right away. I hope this isn't a permanent change in PSE 12!
Thanks for any help!
OS X 10.8.5
Canon 8800F Scanner
TWAIN.plugin v12.0.4x001

Hi Barbara - I reinstalled PSE 11 on my iMac and verified that it still works with the Canon 8800F scanner. I also installed PSE 12 on my Macbook Air, moved the Twain plug into the right spot, and found that it doesn't see the scanner either. Preview on the Macbook does see the scanner OK so it's not a connection problem there either.
I noticed that the Twain plugins in PSE 11 and 12 are the same version but different sizes. The get info windows for the two versions of PSE on the iMac (Kahawalu) and the PSE 12 on the Airbook (Niumalu) are below. Would you be able to let me know the PSE 12 Twain file version and file size that is working with your Canon scanner? It might help narrow this thing down.
Thanks again for your assistance! William

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

Mac Mini - Core Solo - Won't See Any Wireless network

I have a Mac Mini, first gen Intel, Core Solo, that won't see any wireless networks. However, it will see my extreme basestation, and my two airport express devices over bonjour, which makes me think that the wireless device is working.
I've reset the PMU, with no luck.
Any suggestions?

Does an Airport card show in the system profiler?
Is Airport switched on in your mini - the Airport icon in the menu bar should show at least grey bars rather than an empty white 'fan' shape?
With Airport on, when you click on the Airport icon, does it show any network?
If you click on 'Join Other Network' and type the name of the wifi network you run, what error message does the system give?
How far away from the wifi base station is the mini? What kind of structures and environment is it in?
If you move the mini to be in close proximity to the wifi base station, does it show any signal?
When you download a copy of AP Grapher (http://www.chimoosoft.com/apgrapher.html) and run it, what does it show for signals, noise etc?
How is the mini seeing any wifi devices via Bonjour - do you have it wired into your network? If so, the fact that the devices appear via bonjour doesn't mean they are transmitting wifi, nor that they are in range.
By the way, the Core Solo mini doesn't have a PMU to reset. If you used the PMU reset procedure it won't have helped, and may actually have caused problems. The correct procedure for an Intel-based mini is an SMC reset, as follows:
-From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
-Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
-Wait at least 15 seconds.
-Plug the power cord back in, *making sure the power button is not being pressed* at the time.
-Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
-Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.

Mac Book Pro won't see my iTunes Library on an external drive

I have a brand new Mac Book Pro and my iTunes Library is on an external drive. My computer won't see this Library even if I change the location under Preferences. All I can see are my purchases from the iTunes Store on my iCloud. I don't want to clutter up my MBP with my iTunes Library so what should I do?
I'm running Yosemite and latest iTunes
Thanks for any help
Les

Really a library, or just media? A library is a complete collection of files an folders including the critical iTunes Library.itl file, generally all enclosed in an "iTunes" folder. You do not direct iTunes to open a library with preferences, you do it by holding down the option/alt key while starting iTunes and guiding it to the .itl file you wish it to use.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install. How to force it to see new scanner install.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install. How to force it to see new scanner install? Scanner is recognized by and works fine in Windows. Acrobat however still sees Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3. I need it to see Fujitsu fi-6130dj which is what is listed in Device Manager. (Windows XP SP3).
Thank you for any suggestions.

To provide more detail and list what was done to resolve the issue but there may be a better way.
Background. When you install a USB device to a PC it is listed in Windows Device Manager as installed hardware. If you take the USB plug for any device and plug it into a different USB port on the PC the PC will install drivers again for that device. In Device Manager, if you set a system environment variable for device manager to show non-present devices you can see all of the times this may have occurred. In this specific instance there were five installations in Device Manager for one piece of hardware, a Fujitsu fi-6130 scanner. The first listing was Fujitsu fi-6130dj, then Fujitsu fi-6130dj #2, Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3 and so on. Adobe Acrobat only saw the third instance of these drivers being installed. Once I cleaned Device Manager of all Fujitsu scanner installs I was able to have a single set of drivers installed for this Fujitsu but Adobe still recognized the third instance of the driver install and I could not figure out how to force it to see what Device Manager was seeing, a single instance of the scanner being installed (with no #3 behind it).
Steps performed to try to resolve.
Repair install of Adobe - no luck - still sees the #3 instance of the scanner
Deactivation, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reactivation of Adobe - no luck, same behavior as above
Complete removal of all scanner related software. This included the ISIS drivers in Add/Remove Programs and all other related software. This also included deleting the contents of the TWAIN_32 directory found within the root of the Windows directory and also included deleting the scanner from Device Manager.
Rebooted.
Reinstalled complete packages of both TWAIN and ISIS scanners - with the scanner disconnected. Powered the scanner back on and let Windows install the drivers for the hardware. Only at this point did Adobe see the new install of the Fujitsu scanner and no longer looked for the #3 instance of that scanner install.

IMac won't see HDD, no matter what I do - Please help!!!!

Hi,
I have a 2009 iMac 24in (4GB RAM, 500GB 7200rpm) and ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I have one problem after another. I have erased the HDD on numerous occasions, 7 and 35pass, due to it not seeing the HDD, have tested (iDisk) the HDD and all seems fine, reset PRAM & SMC, tried safe mode etc, but nothing seems to work.
It will boot from CD, but every time I try to install, it won't see the HDD. I have tried connect via Firewire to another Mac, but only on one occasion was the HDD seen; that said, I was able to retrieve data, so at least that's one saving grace.
It's still under warranty, so I'll be taking it to Apple and dumping it on them, but given that I cannot afford to buy another Mac to replace this one, I was hoping that someone could give me a few pointers to getting this going, whilst my MacBook Pro is being sorted out.
Yes, I have two Macs in trouble (MBP has black screen), but I need one working for business use, whilst the other is being sorted out.
I really hope that someone can help me with this one, as I'm pulling my hair out!!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
There's no doubting the cost per GB, particularly from Apple, but would I be wrong to assume that my overall user experience would not be better with SSD, than with HDD; taking cost to one side of course.
I use my Macs for business and quite honestly, the downtime I have experienced is more costly than the extra cost per GB of an SSD.
Appreciate that SSD technology is fairly new, but I work in the Film and TV industry and nearly every new camera with on-board recording is using SSD technology and I don't hear of many complaints or issues, as far as reliability and stability of the technology is concerned.
I do accept that an SSD in a computer is going to be doing a helluva lot more work, but the technology has to be better right?
Ultimately, am I making a good move or another making another howler by opting for SSD over HDD?? I acknowledge that's very broad question and open to a lot of opinions/personal preferences etc, etc.
Thanks.

Macbook Pro won't see CD as boot option

I have tried using two different OS install disks but the computer won't see the disks as a startup option. I have tried booting by pressing the option key after the tone and the C key. I have gone in through system prefs to choose the CD to boot from but it doen'st show up there. The disks do show up on my desktop and I can open the folder etc... Also, I can use the drive for watching movies and stuff. I have no idea why this won't work and it's honestly driving me up the wall.
The OS is 10.6.8 and I have tried the install disk for OSX Tiger and OSX Mountain Lion (I think). One is black and one is gray if that helps.
The orginal problem is resetting my admin password because I cannot figure out what I put in originally. Please be clear, I did not steal this Mac. I just don't remember what I put in and my hint makes no sense.
I have called Apple support but they want 50 bucks to talk to me and I can't see paying that. Honestly the request itself ****** me off.
I don't know what else to include but there you go....help?

I don't have that disk and all online forums including ones on this site say to use the disk closest to your OS and you'll be fine. There has got to be a way to fix my issue without paying a bunch of money.
Why not?
Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html

I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro. Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File Import menu?

I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro. Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File>Import menu?

There was no driver update available (it said my driver was up to date), so I just deleted the scanner and restarted the computer. when it came up, the scanner had already been added again. With great anticipation I tried to import from Photoshop...but no luck (scanner was not visible). I finally ended up calling Epson (had great difficulty in locating a number for support) and they finally told me there is no driver update for OS X 10.10 and I should as a work around use "Image Capture" application. I tried it, and it works quite well.

Why doesn't Photoshop see my scanner or the plugin? (Mac OS)

Just loaded CS4 on Mac 10.5.7. I downloaded and installed the latest OSX Epson 1240U scanner software, and also copied the Twain plugin from the Adobe Goodies CD to the Photoshop > Plugins > Import/Export folder. Rebooted the computer, power off and unplugged my USB scanner, fired it back up, restarted Photoshop, etc. The scanner software works fine in stand-alone mode.
But Photoshop doesn't see my scanner at all. In fact, the TWAIN plugin doesn't even show up in the plugins folder list.
Whaz goin' on? How do I fix this?
Thanks, Lou

PHOTOSHP IS RELATED TO SCANNING...
NO! PS is about retouching, color-correcting, compositing, converting, etc...
How you get the image into your computer as a digital file is irrelevant to Photoshop...
Yeah, back in the day of SCSI scanners, it was a great convenience to scan into PS, do some preliminary adjustments, and save the file, to be worked on later...
You don't need to scan into PS to "Please/Win" the client. They couldn't care less about your workflow. You agree that the end result is what matters, right?
Using the TWAIN plugin to bring an image into PS, or scanning outside of PS, then bringing it in for final adjustment, makes no difference...
Except, as Chris points out, you're less apt to lose a lot of work if you do it OUTSIDE of PS.

IDVD won't see movie folder

Working on imovie project. Went to create idvd for the project. Wanted to rename the project and did so in finder. Now idvd won't see movies in the movie folder. Have tried resaving the project out of imovie as a different name, created a new folder for movies etc... any thoughts.

Hi LBuchman !
I am suprised you haven't had a good answer by now.
I am new to iDVD 06 and have not used iMovie much.
I have been working on an iDVD project,
and had a similar problem, as I had moved my Movie files
out of Movies folder to make room.
I believe your problem may have occurred
when you changed your title in FINDER.
I would try going back to your last working iDVD project file
BEFORE you changed it's title in FINDER;
and in iDVD > File > Save As
change your title AGAIN there.
I believe it was the changing the title OUTSIDE of iDVD,
the iDVD lost track of IT"S PARTS.
As far as your Movies folder--
iDVD looks for your movies
in WHATEVER FOLDER you specify in
iDVD PREFERENCES > Movies Pane.
I hope you have already worked yourself an answer,
or I hope this helps.
Best Regards, Ken
