Canon Lide 30 Trouble Fix

Wanted to share this solution as we COULD NOT scan to Image Capture or Canoscan Toolbox 5, on Leopard, with our old Canon Lide 30 scanner.
We did find an old version of Canoscan Toolbox X (4.1.3) and IT WORKED like a charm with Leopard. We scanned 100 photos into JPEGs using the toolbox alone.
Don't know where you can find a scan of toolbox x 4.1.3 online, but if I find it, I'll addend a link.

Thank you so much. Several topics that came up when I googled the scanner declared that Canon Lide 30 with MacOS 10x was a dead-end trip. Following are more explicit instructions for newer Mac users.
1) make sure that users have read/write permissions in Macintosh HD/Library/CFMSupport (find this folder and command-I it to change permissions) Found this tidbit on another website.
2) download the Canon scan toolbox http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16292&mode=feedback&vid=84900
3) unstuff it. You might need to download StuffitExpander to do this.
http://my.smithmicro.com/mac/stuffitexpander/download.html
4) Finish the Canon toolbox installation
5) Download the most recent driver for Lide 30 from Canon's website. (this might change so log on yourself.)
I did not try the latest version of toolbox after I corrected the read/write permissions so, perhaps, Canon has fixed this. Who knows?
I have been able to scan everything I have wanted so far. Thanks again.
BTW: I changed to the iMac from HP & Vista because I was unable to use much of my computer investments after my XP system was stolen. I have been able to use my Palm Zire 71, my Canon Lide 30 scanner, a plethora of software unsupported on Vista. So far everything has been either directly on the iMac or supported via VMFusion and XP on the iMac. Truly an awesome experience.

Problems with using Canon LiDE 210 and OSX 10.7.4

I am getting nowhere with installing the Canon LiDE 210 scanner software on my 2010 MBP. All I get when I try to scan is "insufficient memory". I can scan using Image Capture and with the trial VueScan software so the problem looks as if it is something to do with the Canon software or the way that it installs on the MBP. Has anyone else had a similar problem or can anyone suggest a fix? Many thanks

Hellooo, I realise this thread is a year old and yet I'm having some real difficulty, hopefully this will fall on someones ears...
Firstly I have a mac mini bought recently and running on Mountain Lion 10.8.3 I tried downloading what is apparently the most up to date drvier and mp navigator for use with the CanoScan LiDE 210 meaning, that both the driver and mp navigator are compatible with Mountain Lion. Here is the following link I used that was forwarded to me by Canon:
http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/0100434402.html
http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/0200153502.html
I install both of the downloads, plug in the scanner, and nothing... no noise, no beep nothing to say that it is on. I try and open the scanner through system preferences-printer/scanner-canoscan icon yet I am then presented with the message; "failed to open a session on this device"
Strange, I call canon back and they do not know what else to suggest apart from all the usual trouble shooting, the type that is very patronising and annoying... did you click the icon and press scan, did you click the install button after downloading the software... the sort of thing that might otherwise result in the beating, of ones own face with the phone
At the end of this call, and after forwarding me a couple more useless links to unworkable downloads they say that it must be the product, and that I should contact the seller for a replacement.
So I do, I contact Amazon, I get my replacement and voila, exactly the same problem.
I even try getting it going using my mbp which is on snow leopard, which means I can use the installation disc that it is packed with it, it makes a noise, it sounds like its turning on but then when I click "open scanner" ... nothing, no option to scan, no acknowledgement of the device other than the icon itself in system preferences.
Does anyone have any experience of this issue, does anyone know how I might resolve it?
Many thanks,
Jeff

Canon LiDE 100 does not respond after wake from sleep

I have a Canon LiDE 100 flatbed scanner. I constantly put my iMac to sleep and only ever shut it down once every few weeks.
When the computer wakes from sleep the scanner does not respond. Image Capture lists the scanner in the device list but reports the following error;
"An error occurred whilst communicating with the scanner"
I have to unplug the USB cable and plug it back in for it to work (or restart the computer, both always work).
Since I only moved to the Macintosh in July I have no idea how to uninstall drivers to give myself a fresh start and the scanner does not come with an uninstall utility.
Any suggestions on how to fix this little problem?
Thanks.

I am going to respond to my self and say I am nuts.
Canon does not seem to have any uninstaller for this scanner on their site:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDet ailTabAct&fcategoryid=351&modelid=17104
Which is rather odd since they have installers. this is different from most of their other older scanners. But if you just plugged in our scanner and things worked in OSX, which it should have, then you should be OK.
However I can confirm that others see this issue (like my dad) and here is the official Canon response to the issue:
+Dear XXXX:+
+In some cases, coming out of sleep mode may not properly reinitialize+
+the USB bus on Macintosh Operating Systems. Unfortunately, the only+
+work around when this happens is to restart the computer.+
Of course this in not exactly true as logging out and back in fixes it.

Canon Lide 35 No Longer works in Snow Leopard

Here some more specific results on what happens when you try to scan with the Lide 35 in Snow Leopard.
1) The ONLY choice is to use image capture. Canon software doesn't work
2) Detect Multiple images is completely broken
3) The image size is super small. )i e, the dimensions settings don't work right
4) You have to increase the resolution to 600 to 1200 in order to "fool" Image Capture into scanning at the proper size
5) As soon as you select Ovweview a second time, it stops working and gives you a blank scan. You have to log out and back in to get it working.
6) The only "workaround" I've found is to scan the same dimensions every time at 1200 dpi and edit and save the photo in another app.
I realize the Canon Lide 35 is an older scanner, but please Apple, none of us want to buy a new scanner just because we upgraded to Snow Leopard.
I've spend an hour on the phone with Canon who tried to be very helpful. This happens on all my Snow Leopard Macs (I have three) and it seems clear that this is an Apple issue.

Hi Tee,
I can confirm what you are saying. I am running MacOS 10.6.2 on MacBook Pro and when I was trying to use my Canon LiDE 35 after installing "lide35osx7721en.dmg" and also "cstbosx5013ej4.dmg" I am still getting the error message "driver not found". The same Canon LiDE 35 still works beautifully with my PowerPC G4 under 10.4.11. - I am not sure whether there is any other software? The only oddity when installing those files I noticed was that "CNQL1208_ClassicNotSeize.kext" would not load...
I have no solution to offer at this stage other than using the old Apple... Anybody any ideas??

Canon Lide 80 - not working after 10.5.8 update

Hi,
Wondered if anyone has a workaround for getting a Canon Lide 80 scanner to scan using Photoshop Elements 6, it worked in OS X v10.5.7 previously as I copied the latest ScanGear CS 7.2X plugin into the Photoshop Elements plug-in folder then ran Elements through Rosetta and it scanned with no problems however this now does not work.
The plug-in is still selectable when using PSE6 but I get the following message "The necessary file could be missing or damaged, or the settings are incorrect. Reinstall the scanner driver. Scanner driver will be closed"
I have made sure I have the latest plug-in but to no avail. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Andrew

Can't speak specifically to Photoshop Elements, but my LiDE 80 works fine on 10.5.8 using both Canon's CanoScan application as well as VueScan, both of which use the same plug-in architecture as Photoshop.
This is on a MacBook (Santa Rosa) after updating to Leopard 10.5.8 (it was previously running 10.5.4, where the scanner also worked).
I am using the latest ScanGear driver and CanoScan Toolbox installs from Canon's US support website, where the
filenames are LiDE80_7252MXEN.dmg and CSTb4130MXE.dmg respectively (the Canon site shows an update date of July '09, but in actuality none of the files have been updated since 2005).
I didn't do anything special -- the scanner continued working normally after the system update.
What I'd try is remove the driver (just to be safe, download & use Canon's driver removal utility from the same download page), search & nuke any files called Scangear on the machine (I'd also remove CanoScan if you have it installed), then reinstall from scratch.

Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize Canon Lide 200 Scanner

My recently installed Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize my Canon Lide 200 scanner even though Adobe Photoshop CS2 does. I don't know what the problem is and how to solve it.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 was recently installed on new Vista 64bit computer and functions with all programs and even prints to my Dell 1600n printer, but when I try to scan from the printer, it causes this error message and shuts Acrobat down:
"ADOBE ACROBAT HAS STOPED WORKING A Problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have lived with this since I bought the computer a month ago. Still no solution from Adobe and no response to an email that I sent to adobe support.

TWAIN Sane with Canon LiDE 50

Hello!
I'm trying to use a Canon LiDE 50 scanner under OS X Mavericks 10.9 with TWAIN Sane drivers.
It worked well with Mountain Lion OS X 10.8 and now with the newly complied Sane drivers for Mavericks, Sane doesn't recognize the scanner anymore :-(
Anyone else experiences the same problem and has solved it?

Hi, same here. I was really happy to find Sane for OS X. But actually it does not work with my Canon Lide 50 and Mavericks. Before I have used the original Canon Lide 35 drivers to work with every OS X until Mavericks… But now I found a solution, just download the VueScan for the Lide 35 (which is the same Genesys hardware as the Lide 50) and it will all work. Also VueScan will work with the Scanner in Mavericks properly

Can't get Canon Lide Scanner to work in PSE 10

I just belatedly upgraded to Snow Leopard... and got my PSE 6 to run without freezing by using a suggestion posted by Barbara B. ("Photoshop Elements for Snow Leopard") - deleting the Adobe Twain Driver. My Canon Lide 80 scanner always worked smoothly in PSE 6 in Snow Leopard, but PSE 6 was crashing prior to removing the Adobe Twain plug-in. Since I had not upgraded PSE in a while, I decided to download the trial of PSE 10 and put it through its paces before I purchased.
The first thing that I did was move the driver, ScanGear CS 7.2X into the import module as I had done in previous versions of PSE. The next thing that I did was make sure that Rosetta was loaded onto my operating system. I believe that with this new system Rosetta is automatically employed without having to put a check in the box as was with the case in Leopard, because there is no box to check, and the Apple care tech told me that it would run as needed. When I boot up PSE 10, I receive the message, "One or more plug-ins is currently not available on your system...", the system info states that it failed to load and the ScanGear CS 7.2X plug-in does not show up as a choice for inporting.
This is a great scanner, so I am unwilling to dump it, PSE 6 works if worse comes to worse, but I would like to upgrade to PSE 10. I am currently running on OS X 10.6.8.
Does anyone have a solution?

Barbara B. wrote:
You must go into Applications>PSE 10>optional plug-ins>ImportModules, and move the TWAIN plugin into Plug-ins>Import Modules before you can scan with any scanner. However, if you must have rosetta to scan, you will not be able to scan into PSE 8,9, or 10, no matter whether Rosetta is installed on your mac or not. There is no longer any support for Rosetta in PSE since PSE 8 came out. In that case, you can either use Scan Gear or get a newer scanner, if there's no intel-native plugin on canon's download page for your model.
Thank you for answering me so quickly, Barbara B.
It is interesting to note that there is no longer any support for Rosetta in PSE since PSE 8. That really explains the problem. The optics of my scanner are really good and the scanner really does work well in the "right' software.
I did as you instructed: moved the TWAIN plugin from Optional plug-in>ImportModules to Plug-ins>ImportModules, and restarted the computer. Then I rebooted PSE 10. The TWAIN import did not load... does not even show up in as there but unloaded.
Any ideas? Could this be because I am using a trial version?

Canon Lide 60 Scanner does not work on Mountain Lion

Hi! Is anybody out there who would know how my good old Canon Lide 60 would work with OSX 10.8? Canon says Mountain Lion ist not supported on this device. Anyone an idea what to do without buying a new one? Thank you!

I also was looking for a working driver for ML 10.8
i bought a new canon scanner Lide 110 it's working perfect.
I tried my old scanner( Canon Lide 60) or it should work with this installed canon driver
i'am surprised my old scanner, lide 60 is working min Ml 10.8.4
photoloader does not recognise it. But Vuescan does. i use Vuescan 9.2.21
so the Lide 110 software works on 10.8 en higher for the Lide 60

No driver for Canon Lide 80 scanner?

I recently bought a Mac Mini with Lion installed to replace my old Windows PC and upgraded my late 2009 Imac to Lion to be able to use iCloud between my UK base and my second home in France. Everything went well until I realised that neither my Canon Lide 80 scanner or my Canoscan 4400F wwould work with Lion. I am waiting for a responsse from Canon but, meanwhile, any ideas for a workaround? My trusty old HP 920C printer is recognised as a generic printer and works fine but, it seems, there are no generic scanner drivers.

Thank you John. Vuescan worked for my Canoscan 4400F but, in fact, led me back to Canon support where the driver and toolbox, formerly unavailable, had been updated to my scanner. A very satisfying solution.

Cannot run canon lide toolbox installer

My Canon Lide 60 needs to have the Canon Svanner Toolbox to be installed. When I try to open that file 'CnaoScanToolbox4.3.9.4' I get the message 'App can not be opened as it does not come from a verified developer' and 'Because of security measures only Apps from App-Store verified developers are allowed'
What the **** is this? Appel does not know official Canon SW-developers? Who can help.....

Erhart

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple menu) and select Security & Privacy. Select the General tab. Click on the lock in the lower left hand corner and authenticate. Under Allow applications downloaded from: select Anywhere.
This is a security feature. I strongly suggest that after you finish installing the software that you change this back to the way it was.
Best of luck.

Has 10.8.3 broken Canon Lide 100 driver?

My Canon Lide 100 scanner powered by MP Navigator EX software no longer works after installation of 10.8.3. The error message says that the relevant driver is not installed. Even after re-installation of the latest available software the same error appears. Any suggestions as to a workaround?

Just to be clear when you say you downloaded the latest software, you downloaded MP Navigator EX 2.0.6 and MP Navigator EX 2.0 Opener from the Canon website? If you did and it doesn't work then you will probably have to wait for Canon to update the software.

SCANNING ISSUES: Canon LiDE & HP 3020 - HELP!!

AIM: to be able to scan documents on my Mac!!! (the Mac i am using is a PPC G4, using OS X 10.4.11)
I am tried to install a Canon LiDE scanner onto my office Mac, as i have a Canon LiDE scanner working on my home Mac through both Image Capture and Photoshop Elements (originally installed on an iBook, i then used Migration Assistant to transfer all files onto my Intel iMac - and the Canon LiDE still works no problem - i seem to remember when i was trying to set up the scanner about 4 years ago on my iBook that i had to install something extra to the operating system before the Canon LiDE would work, but i can't remember what that was - does anyone know???
As i couldn't get the Canon LiDE scanner to talk to my mac i then decided to give the HP 3020 a whirl, which is a copier, scanner and printer, although we have never used the scanning function - just the copier and printer. I installed the HP printer software from the original printer discs but i was unable to get my mac to see/ detect the HP printer for scanning, again using the Mac software; Image Capture and Photoshop Elements.
It would be really great to get one of these devices working!!! in the end i scanned the document on my home Mac, but i would like to get the scanning function working the same on my office Mac!? it is frustrating that something so simple has turned out to be such an annoyance! - please help!.
Oh - The HP printer and the Canon LiDE are both connected via USB.

Thanks for replying...
i have tried both these the CD and the website downloads, but can't get it to work. i was posting here wondering
A) if anyone used the same line of scanners (either HP or Canon LiDE)???
B) if anyone has a clue what the 'extra' install was i did on my iBook from my Original install DVDs, so that i could try installing it on my office machine so hopefully it will work.

Canon Lide Scanner not shown as import option Elements 10

I'm using windows 7 and a trial version of Elements 10. On my version of Elements 9 my Canon Lide 100 shows as an import option but it is not available in Elements 10. In the Elements 10 organizer I see options in preferences for selecting a scanner but nothing in the editor about scanners.
I don't remember having to do anything special in Elements 7 or 9 to get the scanner to work.
I was going to purchase the upgrade to 10 tomorrow, but I'm not sure I want to if the scanner doesn't work.
Patt Ricketts

If your scanner requires the twain interface you may need to move the file from the optional plug-ins to the plug-ins folder.

Universal Scanning Program for canon lide 30 (older scanner

i have a canon canoscan lide 30 scanner. the drivers and toolbox are not supported with leopard. you can get it to work but theres alot of work arounds , turning off permissions on folders etc. so i was wondering does anyone know of either a free program or a inexpensive one, that i could use my canon lide 30 scanner with. i tried the program vuescan, cost 40 but wanted to see all my options cause i'm done with trying to make canon drivers and programs works
thanks

Elements 2 should work in 10.4.6. Install PE, then download an install the latest driver for your scanner. (Elements (any version) is not scanning software on its own--it's just that many scanner manufacturers include a PS/PE plug-in for convenience.)
