Canon mx-360 scanner freezes

We have an iMac running OSX 10.6.8. We have an attached multi-function Canon MX-360 which up until last week was working fine. We had to cancel a scan and the scan program froze. We executed a Force Quit and tried to re-scan but the ScanGear window freezes ... says “Scanning. Do not open the document cover” but nothing happens. The Cancel button is unavailable and we must Force Quit MP Navigator EX (not responding) again. We did send a report to Apple as the Force Quit program requested.
We then removed the program (using MacKeeper) and re-installed but the same problem arose on the first attempt to scan. The printer function works fine. We installed the Canon software on two other computers ... a MacBook Pro as well as a Windows 7 machine ... the scan function works fine on both of these machines and thus it seems the problem is with the iMac. We suspect there is a file somewhere on the iMac that is preventing the Canon from completing the scan.
Can you offer some assistance please to get the iMac to stop freezing on the MX-360 scan function?
Thank you!

You may also need to update MP Navigator to v2.1.3. If you are using an older version then trash that version before installing the latest version.

  • Just upgraded to Mavericks. How do I get my Epson Workforce 360 scanner to work again?

    Just upgraded to Mavericks. How do I get my Epson Workforce 360 scanner to work again?

    Try Image Capture, which comes with your Mac. It should be in the Applications folder, or if not, try the Applications/Utilities folder. It should automatically find the right Epson driver for your scanner.
    Also, I'm guessing you have Epson 630 rather than 360. If so, see this from Epson Website.
    The latest printer and scanner drivers for this product are available from Apple's Software Update. Here's how to get them:
    Do one of the following:
    USB
    Connect your product to your Mac using a USB cable and make sure the product is turned on.
    Wireless
    Connect your product to your router wirelessly and make sure the product is turned on.
    Note: You'll need to use the product's control panel to establish the connection to your router.
    Ethernet
    Connect your product to your Mac using an Ethernet cable and make sure the product is turned on.
    Select the menu on your Mac, then Software Update.
    Do one of the following:
    If you see an update from Epson, select UPDATE to install it.
    Note: Apple Software Update may find multiple updates for your system. You may choose to install all or some of the updates.If an update is not available, you're done. You already have the latest drivers from Apple.
    Note: You can also use EPSON Scan if it's available for your product. To get it, go to the Epson main support page, select your product, then select Drivers & Downloads. Select Drivers, then Scanner Driver and EPSON Scan Utility.
    For more information on scanning in OS X, see our Image Capture FAQ.

  • I am trying to setup my Canon DR-4010C scanner to my office Mac's and cannot find driver software any ideas?

    I have multiple i Macs and MacBooks using Lion OX.  I.T. tells me that the Cannon DR-4010C is not compatible with Mac's, I find that hard to believe it can't be done.
    Help!

    Your IT department is correct. Canon never released scanner drivers for Mac OS X for this model. And before someone chips in and says to use Vuescan or SANE, these will not work either.
    So, if you must use the Mac's, then your only option would be to install Windows XP, Vista or 7 in a VM or Bootcamp on the Mac.

  • 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.

  • Canon MP640 - "No scanner selected" bug in Snow Leopard

    Hi!
    I use a Canon MP640 printer/scanner combo unit WITHOUT installing any software from Canon. I like to stick with the built-in functionality of Mac OS X. Which means scanning via Preview.app or ImageCapture.app.
    Until recently everything worked flawlessly. Have not used the scanner in a while though and now with 10.6.4 installed I found out, that the scanner does not appear anymore in the Preview.app menu FILE > IMPORT FROM SCANNER > ...
    Opening up SystemPreferences.app in order to delete and add the printer again only helped for one scan when the scan was invoked with the printer button. Turning the printer off/on and the link between the computer to the scanner was broken again
    In SystemPreferences.app Snow Leopard says "No scanner selected" when I choose the printer and click the SCAN tab in the printer/scanner section.
    Anybody found out how to fix this issue without installing all the Canon printing/scanning software? I would like to stick with the built-in Preview.app.
    Thanks

    Sorry to read that nothing has helped to date.
    Checking the operation of my MP980 connected via USB and using Image Capture or Preview to scan, the process 'Canon IJScanner1' is the only process that starts when the scan is initiated from either application. And long after the scanning has completed and the relevant applications have been closed the process remains in the process list.
    If I force quit the 'Canon IJScanner1' process I then find that the MP980 is not listed in the 'Import from Scanner' menu within Preview. And with this process still closed, if I go to Print & Fax and click on Open Scanner under the Scan button of the MP980, the Canon MP980 scanner queue will appear but with 'No scanner selected' inside the pane.
    So I can recreate what you are seeing. But the question is why is your 'Canon IJScanner1' process stopping. If you check your Console log messages, is there any reference to this process stopping or failing?
    Checking my log it showed as follows when I force quit the process.
    13/09/10 4:34:00 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501 (183) ({0x0-0x577577}.jp.co.canon.ijscanner1.scanner.ica{66850}) Exited: Killed
    Also, FYI, trying to start the process again manually is proving difficult. Double-clicking on the 'Canon IJScanner1' icon in /Library/Image Capture/Devices starts the service temporarily but then stops soon after. This is shown in Console as follows;
    13/09/10 4:42:51 PM {0x0-0x61d61d}.com.twainds.mp980.scangear140800.canon{67810} /Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources/Canon MP980 series.ds/Contents/MacOS/Canon MP980 series: /Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources/Canon MP980 series.ds/Contents/MacOS/Canon MP980 series: cannot execute binary file

    The only solution I could find was to restart the Mac but this made the process re-appear in the process list and consequently I was able to scan from Preview again.

  • I have an iMac running Mavericks would like to  connect/use my Canon CanonScan 8600F scanner or purchase another scanner

    I just recently upgraded my Intel iMac to Mavericks and can no longer use my Canon CanonScan 8600F scanner.  What can I do to enable this device with my iMac?  Or, should I consider purchasing another compatible scanner?

    I went to the site and at the bottom of the screen that shows my scanner there is nothing listed for any software as their system "sensed" that I had Mavericks installed.  I'll plan on calling their support line on Monday but, I'm not all that positive that there will be a good answer.  Thanks anyway . .

  • I cannot get Adobe Acrobat 7 to recognize my Canon MG5420  printer/scanner.

    Adobe recognized my Canon MG5420 printer/scanner until I had to install new printer drivers. Now it indicates "None" when I try to find the connected scanner. How do I connect the printer to Adobe Acrobat 7? The printer works with all other programs. Thank you.

    Having to install new printer drivers tends to imply going to a new OS.
    The Acrobat 7 product family is not compatible with any contemporary OS.
    For that you'd need the current release of Acrobat.
    Be well...

    Hello parvenza,
    It sounds like you are experiencing issues with your Canon scanner, I'm sure that is frustrating. I have found an article with some resources that may help get your device back up and running:

  • 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.

  • Can i use a canon like 30 scanner with yosemite ?

    can i use a canon lide 30 scanner with yosemite ? i cannot load any drivers

    MissBea,
    You can probably use your Canon printer with your HP notebook.
    When connecting an HP printer to the computer, the printer works best when the printer software for that printer is downloaded and installed on the computer.
    I would suggest that you need to do the same for the cannon printer, that is, you should download and install the driver (software) onto the computer.   After you install the driver, and connect the printer using whatever means you have (wireless, USB, Ethernet), you should be able to control the printer from the computer.
    Instead of installing HP printer software, you will need to install the printer software for your cannon printer.

  • HT204135 Since I upgraded to OS X 10.8 my Canon MP480 printer scanner prints OK but the Solutions Menu icon for scanning is crashing every time I try to scan. Any solutions? Thanx

    Since I upgraded to OS X 10.8 my Canon MP480 printer scanner prints OK but the Solutions Menu icon for scanning is crashing every time I try to scan. Any solutions?

    I had to contact Canon Tech Support and had to re load the driver softwear using the OS X 10.7 choice, since the 10.8 choice is not there yet. Also had to download the opener and after 45 minutes I had solved the problem. The steps are too many to go into all the details but that is the genral idea. It should work for others.

  • My Canon MP Navigator scanner software no longer detects multiple photos on the platen - help!

    My Canon MP Navigator scanner software no longer detects multiple photos on the platen - help! I have scanned thousands of old photos over the last few months without problem. I scanned several full pages from photo albums right before this problem began. I wonder if there is some sort of memory which is not being cleared.  I have researched everything I can findto no avail. Any ideas?

    I'm not familiar with this software, but if your scanner is supported, you can achieve this task via Preview.app.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#gestetner
    I believe your model would fall under the MX880 series, and if that's correct, you'll be all set once you learn Preview's way of scanning.
    Best of luck!

  • HT3669 iEPP, Easy Photo Print, App not 'detecting' my Canon MX870 printer/scanner.

    Downloaded the iPod Touch iEPP Airprint app for printing wirelessly to my approved, Canon MX870 printer/scanner and the app can't detect it.
    Thanks

    I have been having the same issue with the Canon iEPP app not detecting the printer using an iPhone 4S, 5S and iPad Air.  I was on the phone with Canon IT support and the devices and apps can communicate with the printer when I type in the printer IP address in the Safari browser.
    I have Comcast Xfinity for interner and have a Linksys Wireless-G router.
    I tried about 5 different free app which support my Canon MX870 printer and none can detect the printer.
    Any suggestions?

    and restarted and it still doesn't work.
    any other suggestions?
