Can't find device

Can't find device when trying to use acrobat to scan to pdf.  I get the screen, saying select device, and when clicking on field, only get a check mark, and it still says select device.  I have a brother MFC-7345N all purpose printer/scanner/fax.  The printer is fine, and the scanner works fine too if you go thru preferences, and select printer, and then scanner.  You can scan documents and save them, and then be able to manipulate them later in Acrobat.  But no direct scanning into a PDF from scanner thru Acrobat.  I do have Snow Leopard.  I emailed Brother, and they said it was the Adobe software.  Any help is making my scanner work thru Acrobat would be much appreciated. 

Scanner support is very lacking at Adobe for Mac. One thing is they refuse (the software) refuse acknowledge universal Binary is simply not supported. If there is a Phoyoshop Plug for yor printer that work.
And If your download software from the S.A.N.E/TWAIN Project. (Google for it read the info on first page and about 2/3s down the page you will a hotlink refering to ettore and Macintosh.
Switch to that page then first look for list of devices supported. If your Device is supported  go to page  for software download all components, Backend , Frontend, GetText, Prefrence(about 5 parts) for your System none are compatible with previous system, or systems after (They are all unique ). STAY AWAY FROM SDK ITEMS! UNLESS YOU ARE INTO SOFTWARE DESIGN! Install all the parts. restart computer. Then run Disk Utility repait permissions. Now open Acobat and now see if the SANE/TWAIN shows up as a printer.
Another Option is to by SilverFast for your scanner it allows creating  in tiff, jpeg, or PDF. If you intend to scan anything that will be used for OCR scan at no lower than 600dpi.

    Can't find devices on iTunes libraries, after turning on home sharing ?

    Perhaps the type of file on the camera card is not supported by elements 9 (I have elements 12 and all of my pictures are jpegs so I wouldn't know).  You might have to save the pictures you want to your computer as jpegs.

  • VISTA - can;t find device driver for your IPOD - read the solution here!

    It would appear that VISTA is rather stupid when it comes to the Ipod - it can't find the driver for itself. Do the normal autmatic way of trying to find the driver (that doesn't find the device) then look in the hardware device list (control panel) you should see you Ipod listed under other devices with a yellow triangle next to it. Right click this line and select "properties". then click "update device driver". Then, DON'T do the automatic find, instead click "I will choose the device from a list". Click on "storage device" and voila! VISTA now finds a USB mass storage device and installs it - JOB DONE! HOORAY!
    good luck!

    When you are prompted to look for a driver input
    C:\WINDOWS\System32 and browse it will find a generic
    volume that fixes it.
    I tried this as well. I can find a Generic Volume (I think it lists SD, MMC- neither of which seem correct), but neither of those helps. iPod still isn't recognized as a drive even in disc mode. I started another thread after not finding this one. I'm not sure why USB Mass Storage device isn't one of the options.

  • Windows Can't find Device Driver Softw

    I just got a Zen 6GB media player, and I installed the Media Explorer software from the cd that came with it, charged the player via the computer, but I can't load anything on to the player because everything says it is still not connected. The reason for this seems to be that when I plug it in, windows cannot install the device's driver software. It starts searching for the drivers, but can't find them. In window's device manager it lists under Portable Devices a MTP Device, but it has the yellow exclamation point on it. And when you look at the devices details it says "This Device cannot start. (Code 0)"
    Does anyone have any idea if there is some way I can get the drivers elsewhere and point windows to them? I'm not sure what to do. All the related software says there is no device connected, since the computer won't recognize it without any driver information I guess. Any help would be very much appreciated.
    I have Windows Vista and everything is up to date as far as I am aware.
    Thanks?

  • Program can't find device

    Help! I just got my Pre today and I am trying to download apps for it.  but for some reason the Webosquickinstall  can't find my device. I am hooked up to my computer and the phone is charging. What am I doing wrong?
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    Hello Shanmitch and welcome to the Palm forums.
    To install applications over the air (OTA) from Palm, use the App Catalog application on your Pre.  If you are attempting to load "homebrew" applications, in otherwords, applications that are not installed from Palm's App Catalog, you should read this thred over on PreCentral.net.

    If the store menu is not there, enable the menu bar via CTRL+B, and then you will see it.

  • Where can i find device drivers for windows vista please for my iphone4

    where can i find bluetooth device drivers for my  iphone 4 and windows vista please

    If you've installed the correct version of iTunes, you have all the drivers there are. The iPhone does not support bluetooth file transfer or sync. The only thing for which you can use Bluetooth with a PC is tethering.

  • IPhoto can't find device to burn

    I wanted to burn pictures to DVD to free up space, but I am getting a message saying that no device can be found. I checked the system profiler, and it shows the drive as working. I can even burn from different locations (Toast 7). How can I get iPhoto to recognize the DVD burner?
    Thanks

    Robin:
    Since you're able to use the disk for other apps and the Finder it's just a iPhoto problem. First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and see if that helps.
    You might also apply the newly released Mac OS X 10.5.2 Combo Update along with the iLife Support 8.2 and Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 updaters followed by a repair of disk permissions.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Windows Media player can't find device/ error number C00D1179 - F

    This is a fix for the error where windows recognizes and installs the Creative Zen Micro running the version 2.X firmware (or any other MTP device) but neither windows media or creative's software can see it.
    How I got this error to begin with...
    I had to replace my zen micro because of a headphone jack problem that seems to be very common. It still amazes me that a company that obviously invested tons of money into developing a device like this would let something as stupid as a poorly designed headphone jack ruin it... When I tried to sync my new zen micro I exchanged for at the store, it recognized the initial device firmware. I upgraded to the 2.X firmware and it worked until the device rebooted with the new firmare. At this point, the firmware program couldn't see it even though windows had given me the whole "New Hardware Found" thing and asked me if i wanted to sync with WMP. No other programs could find it either. I tried numerous things to get it to work, but here is what finally worked. This may not fix all the issues of this type but I suspect it will fix most of them.
    As this problem is Microsoft's and not Creatives, any device running PlaysForSure (I think "plays if your really lucky" is a better name) I looked at other device forums. I found this post that got me looking in the right place.
    http://www.misticri'ver.net/boards/archi've/index.php/t-3598.html
    Step six said to look at the following registry entry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum
    This made me look more carefully and realize that I had four Creative Zen Micro entries, confusing my computer into not syncing. The solution is below:
    ***WARNING- EDITING THE REGISTRY CAN REALLY SCREW UP YOUR COMPUTER!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
    . Unplug the device
    2. Open Regedit by Start -> run, regedit
    3. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\U SB
    4. You will see a bunch of folders with incoherent letters and numbers. Expand these once to see another unreadable folder. When you click on this, you'll see a FriendlyName field on the right side. If it says Creative Zen Micro or whatever your device is, delete the higher level incoherent folder, it should start with VID.
    5. Plug your device back in and let it reinstall
    6. Hopefully it will say docked when you open windows media player
    This may not fix all problems of this nature. If it doesn't, look at the link in the earlier part of this post.
    BTW, Creative support, we aren't all idiots who don't realize that we don't have WMP0 installed. If we tell you it worked before and stopped working now, and also included a microsoft debug file clearly showing that there is something very strange going on, don't send us a stupid thing to check like whether WMP0 is installed and make us wait 24 hours for the next useless response.

    Interesting. Thanks for the information!
