Can't scan from Pixma to Mac

Hi,
I have an ongoing problem with scanning from my Canon Pixma to my Mac Airbook. The printer scans, but the image is not made available on the computer - Image Capture says that 'no device is connected'.
Having done some internet research, I see that this may be a driver problem. I've followed advice and installed various drivers, bypassing Apple's gatekeeping systems to do so, but it makes no difference.
I've consulted Apple several times on this but they are unable to help. The latest advice - to uninstall the printer and re-install has had no effect, although I did notice that there was an option to select a particular driver, which I didn't do, not knowing which one to select.
Any thoughts please? It seems daft to have two of the highest-spec bits of kit available, but not be able to do something so basic.

I believe Image Capture is for cameras.
If you go to System Preferences>Printers and Scanners there should be a button for scanner.
Which printer are you using?

HT3669 Can't scan from my HP Office Jet 6700 (Fax) to my MacBook Pro

Hi there, I can't scan from my HP Office Jet 6700 (Fax) to my MacBook Pro. I've tried all of the tips I've found online but when I try to 'Enable Scan to Computer' it says that there is a communication error. Anyone got any tips for me?

Hi,
Both printer and computer seem to be on same network.
Please download and run the following utility to troubleshoot on the issue.

I can't scan from my HP Photosmart C4440; not direct from the scanner to pc nor vice versa

I can't scan from my HP Photosmart C4440; not direct from the scanner to pc nor vice versa, Please help me ASAP, Thanks everyone, I'm stuck with a homework!

Hello @Roberto3 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are having issues scanning. I'd like to help!
Are you able to make a copy as opposed to a scan?
Do you have any errors come up when scanning?
I'd recommend starting with a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Can't scan from Office Jet Pro 8600

I can't scan from my Office Jet Pro 8600. I'm connected to my home Verizon Fios wireless network. I'm running Windows XP. The printer works fine, but I can't scan. When I use the display on the printer I get a "No Computer Found" message. When I go to find the scanner on the Control Panel/Scanners & Cameras - I can see the printer listed, but when I click on the printer, I get a message that reads: "The scanning software could not be found, or your scanner is not connected. Please make sure your scanner & your scanner software are properly installed." So then I use the HP Print & Scan Doctor to download to "Get Installer" presumably to download the software. After the software downloads, there is no difference. I still can scan, & the network is not seeing the scanner. What gives?

Hello,
I see that an issue has popped up that pertains to NOT being able to scan.
Please click on the following link that troubleshoots A 'Connection Error' or 'No Computer Detected' Error Message Displays during Scanning.
Please feel free to write back with any additional questions or concerns.
Thank you.

HT202879 I am switching to Apple macbook pro from Windows laptop. Is Apple compatible with Microsoft Office? How can I transport from Windows to Mac? What I have saved on external hardrives, will I be able to open it on Mac?

I am switching to Apple macbook pro from Windows laptop. Is Apple compatible with Microsoft Office? How can I transport from Windows to Mac? What I have saved on external hardrives, will I be able to open it on Mac?

Office for Mac, http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products, can open/edit/create Office documents.If your external drive is formatted NTFS then you can copy the Office documents to your computer and work on them. You won't be able to save the files back to your NTFS formatted drive. But you will be able to save the documents to your internal drive. You can move all the external files to your internal drive then format the external drive for Apple. Then you can copy the files back to your external drive for ongoing use.

Is Apple compatible with Microsoft Office?
Any computer is compatible as long as it can read and write Office files. But for perfect (or at least near perfect) compatibility, you would want to purchase Office 2011 for Mac.
How can I transport from Windows to Mac?
You can't directly transport any installation of Windows. All PC's come with a machine specific version of Windows intended for that PC. They don't have all of the hardware drivers the retail disks cover.
If you want Windows on your Mac, you would first purchase a full version copy (NOT an upgrade disk) of Windows 7 or 8. Those are the only supported versions on newer Macs. You install it through the supplied Boot Camp utility that comes with the Mac to create a new partition for Windows, and then install the retail copy of Windows you purchased.
The reason only these versions of Windows are supported is the same basic reason as a machine specific version of Windows for a PC. Apple only includes the necessary Mac hardware drivers for Win 7 or 8 on new Macs.
Once Windows is installed, you could then install the version of Office for Windows you already own. The nuisance of a Boot Camp partition is that you have to physically boot to either Windows or OS X, so you can only use the apps of the OS you're in at the time. To use both at once, you'd have to use virtual machine software (Parallels, VMware, VirtualBox) and then install Windows within that. Then you'd be able to run Windows inside of OS X and have access to both at the same time.

I have bought a new Mac Book Pro, and I need to know how I can move Aperture from my old Mac Book to the new one..

I have bought a new Mac Book Pro, and I need to know how I can move Aperture from my old Mac Book to the new one..

It begins with: F-285-NER-151-QBQ-and continues with 5 more 3 or 4 letters/numbers..
Yes, that is the number. And what version of Aperture have you installed? The same version as on your old Mac?
But it don´t work on my new Mac...
In what way does it not work? Does it require you to enter a licence number for Aperture 2 as well? That will be necessary, if your serial number is an upgrade serial number. Then you will have to enter all previous numbers as well.
Or does Aperture not accept the number as correct? Then check the spelling; some letters are easily confused like "I" and "1" and "O" and "0". Do not use the number pad to enter the numbers.

Can't scan from wireless networked Pixma MP640

I just hooked up a new Canon MP 640 via wireless network through my Airport Extreme. Printing works fine, but when I try to scan to my Macbook the printer can't find it over the network. It will only scan to the Macbook with a direct USB connection. I can't find any documentation that suggests that scanning doesn't work over a network connection. Any help?

First of all, even though you mention network scanning, I am not sure if you have the printer using the internal wireless support or if you have it connected to the USB port of the Airport Extreme. Some users interpretation of network connections vary. So if you do have it connected to the USB port of the Extreme, then scanning is not supported. This is a limitation of Airport devices.
If however you have configured the MP640 to connect to the Extreme via wireless and you are trying to initiate the scan from the MP640 to the Mac using the Scan button, then you need to have the [Canon IJ Network Tool v2.70|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0200080802.html] installed on the Mac.
Also, if you want MP Navigator to open when you use the MP640 Scan button, you need to install [MP Navigator Opener v3.0|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0200087801.html] on the Mac.
Note that for the network scanner, there should be a separate MP640 entry under the heading of Scanners within the list of devices in Print & Fax. With this MP640 selected, you will have the Open Scanner button visible in the right hand pane. If you click this button, the MP640 scanner window will appear and attempt to connect to the AIO. Does this occur for you?

Can't scan from printer control panel on Canon Pixma MG5270

I have just connected my Canon Pixma MG5270 to my iMac running OSX 10.7.3 via WiFi. Printing works great, and scanning from the desktop "Canon MP Navigator EX - MG 5200 series" V 4.0.3 application works like a dream. When I try to scan via the operations panel on the printer/scanner the following comes up - Set the PC to start scanning". This worked fine when connected directly via USB cable. I have searched the web and believe I have the correct settings, particuliarly in MP Navigator:
1. Main Menu -> One-click -> Start scanning by clicking the button (checked)
2. Main Menu -> One-click -> Preferences -> General -> Compress scanned images when transferring (checked) -> Change -> Network Device List (selected Canon MG 5200 series_xxxxxxxxx) -> Scan-from-Operation-Panel Settings -> Network Device List (selected Canon MG5200 series_xxxxxxx)
I have restarted the iMac and printer and always with the same result.
Any help appreciated!!

See here for full installation procedure (it's a very long article from the Canon Web Site)
http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/ InkJet/PIXMA_MG_series/PIXMA_MG5250.aspx?faqtcmuri=tcm:14-776467&page=1&type=faq
I haven't read through it fully, did I mention it's a very long article? There's something about registering the scanner during installation.
Hope this helps

Can NOT automatically scan from 8580Cdw to Mac OS 1.8

Hi,
My previous Canon, ImageClass 4370dn, I was able to scan directly on my Mac by clicking the Start button in MF tools. However, with the 8580Cdw, the Start button doesn't automatically start the scanning; I have to go to 8580Cdw and press the OK button twice because the 8580Cdw is asking two questions, Scan to and color. For the life of me, I have not been able to get rid of this manual step. I have the 8580 connected via USB to my MacOS 1.8 but once I figure out how to get rid of this manual step, I will start using the scanning via network, ie, allow folks in the office to scan via the network.
Please help !!!!!!!!
Thank you

Hi abunoor!
I will be glad to assist you.
The new imageCLASS machines are designed so that you will need to select a scanning option at the machine. There is no way to set a default scan option on this machine. You will need to select [Remote Scanner] or [Computer]. This is to ensure that your device handles the scan project properly. Due to this, the ability to program a specific mode is not available.
Although an extra step to perform, a benefit of selecting the desired mode for a respective scan can ensure that a scanner miscommunication does not occur if it were programmed to a different mode.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Should you need immediate assistance, please contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666).
