Canon MP 780 scanner no longer working w/ Mountain Lion

Okay, I've put in my time (four flippin' hours) to try and figure out what to do about my scanner no longer being supported in Mountain Lion. Canon is incredibly unhelpful (tried to get a number for support, but they don't give me an option of what number to call for my printer . . . not listed on the website). Tried finding MP Navigator 3.0, but it's only avaiable overseas (?! Not to be too ugly of an american, but what's THAT all about?!).
Am I just SOL? I *hate* the idea of throwing a perfectly good printer away!
I will never, ever upgrade again until I absolutely have to. I've spent about 10 hours recovering from this "upgrade" to ML (including seven hours on the phone with support, plus two trips to the apple store where they erased and reinstalled, check hardware, etc.) . . . and then I run into hassles like this. First world problem, I know, but still . . .
Sigh,
Dave

I was hoping to avoid paying $40 for VueScan (rather pricey), which is pretty much what the printer is worth. I find it annoying that Brother is unwilling to upgrade their software, thereby encouraging yet another printer to be added to the enormous pile of e-waste that we're generating.
Next time I'll just avoid upgrading the OS. It wasn't broke, and this sure didn't fix it. But thank you for trying to help.
Are there any other software scanning packages that are available besides VueScan?

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

Apple remote no longer works with mountain lion

The apple remote that was quite happily working with Lion no longer seems to be working with mountain lion.
I've checked with at least 3 other apple remotes I have and none of them seem to want to pair.
I've been able to pair them with another mac running Lion, but when going to the pair option under;
Preferences--> Security& Privacy --> General --> Advanced -> Pair
Pressing the menu and next for more than a minute gives me nothing on any of the remotes.
Anyone else having issues pairing with mountain lion?
*Note, each of the remotes quite happily will

I thought I had a problem pairing my aluminium Apple remote with EyeTV, but all turned out fine.
When I clicked Preferences --> Security & Privacy --> General --> Advanced --> Pair a message told to press the "Menu and Next" buttons until the remote paired with the computer. At first, I assumed this meant that I should press the two black buttons underneath the main, circular control, but nothing happened.
Then it struck me that the "Next" button might mean the right arrow on the main, circular control, so I held down this while holding the Menu button (the smaller button, below and to the left of the main, circular control), and the remote paired within a few seconds!
I don't have one of the older, white Apple remote controls to test this idea with, but something similar may also work with that remote.

Back to my mac screen sharing no longer works since Mountain Lion release, even on Lion

I've used screen sharing via iCloud and back to my mac between a 2007 macbook and a 2010 imac. Both computers are still on Lion but screen sharing stopped working when Mountain Lion was released. I've read a number of comments on this forum that people were having trouble since upgrading to Mountain Lion, but I don't think that's the problem b/c I haven't upgraded either machine. I think the problem is something Apple did in preparation for the Mountain Lion release date and it seems to have damaged screen sharing functionality. Anybody else experiencing this or have a fix for it.
As for the specifics, I can still see my "other" machine under shared and can click "share screen," it usually searches for a couple minutes, then pops up the password dialogue box, but then searches for a while and eventually the password box closes, "screen sharing" stays open, but there are no windows associated with it.

I have the same problem, just today (although I'm still running 10.6.8). Every morning I turn on my main Logic mac then fire up my 2 slave macs, connect to them, activate Screen Sharing, and get going.
This morning I tried it, connected to the other macs as usual (I can see/access/alter their hard drives from my main mac) but when I click "Share Screen" I just get the "connecting" dialog box & it just keeps going.
The weird thing is, when I put my laptop into the network via wifi, I can screenshare my main mac's screen (all 3 of them, actually!) but not my 2 slave macs that are ethernet'd to the main mac.
I've tried every solution I could find via google, and nothing is working.

Speak Sender Name Only AppleScript in Mail No Longer Working In Mountain Lion

Hi all, the title pretty much says it all.
I have a very simple AppleScript that I use as a rule in Apple Mail everytime new email comes in.
This AppleScript will speak only the sender's name. That's all I want it to say.
I there are two emails, it will say, "Mail From John Smith" followed closely by "Mail From Johnny Appletree", etc.
This works great in Lion as a Mail rule.
I have properly placed this AppleScript in the correct path for Mail scripts.
It's located in:
(user name)/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail
I've popped in the sample script provided by Apple into this same path that speaks the total number of selected emails, the name and the subject, etc. That works fine, so I'm positive the path is correct. But that script says a bunch of items I don't need. I just need a simple script and I'm guessing somehow the conversion from Lion to Mountain Lion doesn't work for some reason with this script.
Anyone know how to modify this supposedly simple script to make it work in Mountain Lion?
Any help is most appreciated, thanks!
Here is the script I had been using in Lion as a Mail rule without any issues before Mountain Lion:
on perform_mail_action(info)
-- see if iTunes is playing
          set itunes_playing to false
          tell application "System Events"
                    if (get name of every process) does not contain "iTunes" then
                              set itunes_playing to false
                    else
                              tell application "iTunes"

HP Scan utility no longer works with Mountain Lion

Updated from 10.6.8 to 10.8. HP Scan software utility no longer boots, yielding an error message warning of incompatibility. I run Software Update over and over again, but HP Scan still did not boot.
I ran HP Uninstaller, but it did not remove the HP folder within Applications. So I deleted HP Scan and other utilities manually.
I ran Software Update again, and it re-downloaded and re-installed HP Printer Software Update 2.11. However, it did not install the HP Scan utility. Now I can only scan using the Printer/Fax System Preference or Image Capture, whereas the HP Scan utilility had much more functionality.
Apparently HP Scan is only part of HP's Full Software Install. However, Mountain Lion ONLY allows the use of Software Update for printers, and there is nowhere on the HP website to download the HP Scan utility or Full Software for Mountain Lion -- they only instruct one to use Apple's Software Update which doesn't provide any HP utilities.
Where can I find the HP Scan utility (for PSC 1610) that is compatible with 10.8? It certainly is not available from HP -- see:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=219&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw _lang=&product=390315
Thanks.

Please be so kind to help me. HP wanted 30 USD to help me. Why should I pay 30 USD to HP when their new integrated software update does not work?
Had my HP Photosmart Premium C410b for a bit over a year. Worked like a charm in 10.6 and 10.7. I am a frequent user of the HP scan software. I am fully aware that I can use the system pref - > print&scan -> open scanner, BUT that is like going back in time to windows 3.1 days. Try scanning 20 pdf's a day, especially when 2 or more pages in one pdf, add to the equation that My Acrobat X is no longer accepting the scanner either, I can print, but I can't scan, and then I guess we'll agree that the integrated apple scan solution is nothing sort of a emergency solution. I need my HP software!
I downloaded the Lion software file
HP_Lion_Ink_SW_v12.13.14.dmg [1/1, 194.96M]
But to no use. Only get the message that it is for 10.7 or older.
HP claim that all I need to do is to go to Apple -> Software update and gte the software for my HP printer. I just get the message "No updates available". Can't find the software if I search for it.
I don't know how I found it but from apple's pages I found a 460MB file called HewlettPackardPrint2.12.dmg as one forum suggested it to another persons with same problems. When installing I think it said to take 1GB of space. I still don't know what I installed since I see no software anywhere and nothing changed. Maybe a bunch of drivers for all HP printers ever made? Don't have a clue...
All I want is just that HP scan software so I can go back to my normal workday but it seems so impossible. I really hope someone can help me. Anyone have anything to help me one step closer I sure would appreciate it. I need my HP scan software and Acrobat to work.
Second option is buying a new printer. That's just sad if it comes to that...

HP 3052 scanner doesn't work with Mountain Lion

So I upgraded MacBook Air to Mountain Lion and everything seems fine except I can't use scanner function on my HP 3052 AiO. The printer still prints OK but I can't see scanner anymore.
Can anybody help me?

Hi,
I affraid scanning is no longer supported for your product while using Mountain Lion, actually the same applies for any Mac OS X version starting from 10.6.
You may find this information stated in here:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03411613 #A2
You may try using an earlier software version (The latest version intended for 10.5), however it is not assured to work and you may try it at your own risk.
In order to install the previous software you may try following the workaround below:
Enter System Preferences > Print & Scan, select the LaserJet 3052 printer and click the Minus sign to remove it.
Download the Mac OS 10.5 software below by clicking the download button:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en &cc=us&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=1140784&swItem=ma-58935-1&prodNameId=114077 9&swEnvOID=219&swLang=8&taskId=135&mode=4&idx=0
Follow the installation by skipping the Setup Assistant till the installation will finish.
Perform the following steps in order to provide the Setup Assistant the right permissions to complete on Mountain Lion:
Open Terminal from the Utilities folder
Type “sudo “ (with space) in the Terminal.
Locate the HP Setup Assistant in folder Applications/HP LaserJet Software
Right-click (or CTRL+Left click) the HP Setup Assistant and choose “Show Package Contents”.
Open the “Contents” folder and then click “MacOS” folder. It should contain the Unix Executable File of HP Setup Assistant.
Drag the HP Setup Assistant (Unix Executable File) into the Terminal and press enter.
Terminal will ask for the password of the user.
After writing the password press Enter Button.
Now follow the Setup Assistant Steps to complete the installation.
Good luck,
Shlomi

Speakers no longer work after Mountain Lion update.

After my update of Mountain Lion my speakers in my macbook pro no longer work. The speaker symbol is grey and the volume can't be moved. Anyone else have this issue?

Seems there is no real solution to this problem. If you have a time machine backup you can go back to 10.7.2.
Since I did the clean install of 10.7.2, I don't have any audio problems. My MacBook Pro now runs smoothly. I guess I stick with 10.7.2 until 10.7.4 is released.
You can also try some of these suggstions: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3705456?start=15&tstart=0
Hope you get your audio working.

CalDAV Calendars No Longer Work in Mountain Lion?!

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, CalDAV no longer works for me - it fails to log in to the server (which I know is working because the same credentials and address still work on my iPhone and iPad).
I've tried deleting and re-adding the calendar and making sure alerts are not defaulted to none, but now, if I try to re-add it using the Wizard, it fails because it can't log in (it says it found a calendar but that my login failed), and if I edit the parameters for one that I know works to those now, it keeps telling me the server gave an error when I try to connect and asking for my password. This is not the problem with creating and modifying events in Zimbra - I never even get there, I cannot log in to my CalDAV server anymore using credentials that I know work using other CalDAV clients.
Any help would be appeciated, this is a disabling, showstopper problem, I don't want to have to back out the OS install for this or g-d forbid, pave my machine, but I must have a functional calendar.

I unfortunately am still getting a serious problem with connecting to a non-Zimbra caldav server. From looking in the logs, here is what I am seeing:
8/13/12 8:25:48.977 PM Calendar[6228]: *** WARNING: -[NSImage compositeToPoint:fromRect:operation:] is deprecated in MacOSX 10.8 and later. Please use -[NSImage drawAtPoint:fromRect:operation:fraction:] instead.
8/13/12 8:37:54.494 PM Calendar[6658]: [com.apple.calendar.store.log.caldav.queue] [Not creating a POST schedule change-request, because the server doesn't have a schedule-outbox]
8/13/12 8:40:57.204 PM Calendar[6658]: [com.apple.calendar.ui.log.updatetext] [There was an error trying to get the status from CalendarAgent: 5]
(I tried the keychain fix and we're still getting this.)

Apple USB modem no longer works with Mountain Lion

Now that I've upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion my Apple USB modem no longer works. Does anyone know of a software fix or have I just lost my faxing ability with this item and have to buy something else?

That's a very sad situation as the Official statement link above (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3152) states that the modem cannot be used with any Windows. So Apple thinks that people investing in the ability to Fax and relying in Apple's good product only deserves to throw out their modems (because now it is useless on any platform)...

My scanner does not work since mountain lion

Since I installed Mountain Lion my scanner does not work anymore.
I have a Konica Minolta Magicolor 1690MF and the printing works.
There doesn't seem to be other drivers available at Konica Minolta.

Your apparently older Model needs to use Apple's "Print & Scan" which is found in Applications>System Prefernces>Print & Scan:
Place the item that you want to scan on the scanner glass, or load it into the automatic document feeder (ADF) if your printer has one.
Click the Apple menu (# ), and then click System Preferences .
Click Print & Scan (# ).
Click your printer in the left pane.
Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to change scan settings.Figure 4: Example of the Show Details scanning screen#
Change any scan settings as necessary, and then click Scan .NOTE: Make sure to select either the Flatbed mode or the Document Feedermode, depending on your printer and how you plan to scan.
Hope this helps

Automatic brightness no longer works with mountain lion

I have a mid-2010 13" MBP that I upgraded to Mountain Lion via a clean install. Since the upgrade, the automatic brightness feature has stopped working and the laptop's screen brightness no longer responds to changes in ambient light level.
I've also noticed that I cannot deselect "automatically adjust brightness" in System Preferences – although I can clear the checkbox, as soon as I leave Display Preferences and go back, the box is rechecked. Adjusting the brightness using the slider or F1/F2 works as expected.
So far, I've tried resetting the SMC and PRAM, and using several combinations of energy and display settings, but no luck.
Is anyone else having this issue? Any ideas how I might solve it? Thanks.

Apparently I have the same issue! Also I am unable to change the brightness settings for the keyboard backlight. (see my post about that here) Unfortunately I have yet to find a solution to the problem. I'm currently re-downloading the Mountain Lion install, hopefully a re-install will correct the issue. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Primera LX 400 Label Printer No Longer Working with Mountain Lion

Hi-
I upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion and most everything works OK except my Primera LX400 label printer. The error message I get when trying to install the driver is "Software for this printer isn't available from Apple. Contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software."
I contacted Primera but I haven't received an answer yet. Anyone else solve this problem with Mountain Lion and Primera Printers?
For those that depend on the Primera printers, you might want to wait before upgrading.

For those with the same problem, Primera says they will have new drivers up 7/31/12:
http://www.primera.com/primera_printer_drivers.html
I decided to check a day early (7/30/12) and the driver for my LX400 is up and I was able to install and use it successfully.

Why are my Location Services no longer working in Mountain Lion?

I don't remember when it started but I can no longer use the location services in Mountain Lion. Everytime I try to locate a Tweet or Facebook post from either Notification Center or Share Sheets, the arrow turns blue, then turns greay again with "Add Location."I also cannot use Find My Mac using iCloud. iCloud tells me that it cannot locate my device.
I can confirm that I do have Location turned on under Privacy.
I don't know what to do or if anyone else if suffering from a similar problem.
Any help would be welcomed.
