Canon Scanner Lido60 on Intel Macbook

Hello Everybody,
I have been spending this day searching for a driver or plugin for my Canoscan Lido 60 scanner. It worked fine on my G4 iBook but when i connect the scanner to my Macbook (intel) it says that there is no driver for this scanner. I have searched several sites including the Canon site and versiontracker but no luck..
Are there any other ways to scan without this driver or the app. that comes with the scanner? I have tried Vuescan but i need to scan docs into pdf files and Vuescan doesnt seem to have that options (or maybe it does but i havent found it yet..)
Thanks a lot!!!

The Canon N656U has only limited support in OS X. There is, for example, no standalone scanner utility.
You can download and install the scanner plug-in from VersionTracker (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/17441&vid=77025), but it has to be installed into a program like Photoshop to work.

Canon scanner not working with MacBook Pro.

I wonder if anyone is able to help. I recently bought a Canon MG5550 Printer/Scanner and I am having trouble with scanning. When I press the scan button on the printer nothing happens, not evening a warning message. I have tried using a cable and this hasn't improved the sitation. When I go onto Preview, I can select "Import from Canon MG5550 Series" under "File" but I get a message saying that the software for this device hasn't been downloaded, even though it has. I notice that on this page the MG5550 isn't recognised, and I wonder id this could explain the sitation http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#canon-inkjet. Anyone know any way around this?
Thanks in advance!
Will

Mac os canon scanner not detected in Acrobat

MACBOOK PRO retina mid 2014 running OS10.10.2 Yosemite
ACROBAT Xi PRO
CANON MG5200 printer/scanner
When I connected the Canon printer scanner to my new macbook pro Acrobat does not show the printer scanner in the import from scanner menu option.
I had this problem previously with Acrobat's really irritating messing around with scanners but cannot remember how I solved it.
Does anybody have some sensible advice please?
PS ADOBE, why on earth don't you sort this out, your users have FREQUENT need for quick and easy scanning.

Hey Paul,
Firstly, I would recommend you to please check for Acrobat updates to run the latest patch i.e. 11.0.10
An out-of-date version of scanner might result in scanning issues. So, please reinstall the latest scanner driver for your particular scanner model from the manufacturer's website and then try again.
If it still does not work, then please try logging in to new administrator account, open Acrobat and check.
For instructions, refer: Install or run Adobe applications in new user account | Mac OS X
Let me know if this helps.
Regards,
Anubha

Photoshop CS3 wont recognise my Canon scanner

Hi
Updated to CS3 and my canon scanner wont get recognised. I have a Power PC G5 Mac and did a forum search but everything seems to be about intel macs.
Can someone please help me?
Cheers
Stag

Yes i did all that. I found this and followed:
"1. Use the "Deldrv" program to remove previously unsuccessfully installed driver(s). The "Deldrv" uninstaller can be found on the Canon website at the bottom of the Canon scanner driver pop up window that you access to get the drivers for your scanner.
2. Use the "Find?" under the File menu (command-F) or use Spotlight (command spacebar) to find the folder "CFMSupport". Select this folder (don't open it), and use the 'Get info' command in the File menu (command-I) to open information about the Ownership and Permissions of the folder. Click on the arrow beside 'Ownership and Permissions' so it points downwards, then click on the arrow beside 'Details' so you can see the details. Click on the padlock icon so it is unlocked. Then set owner to your user name, set the Group to admin, and set access for all users to Read & Write.
3. Reinstall the CanoScan Toolbox first, then the scanner drivers from the Canon website or your CD, restart your computer."
Im gonna call Canon. If nothing, apart from vuescan, any free applications I can download?

Canon Scanner 9950f

Hi, Just moved to macbook pro 2011 10.6 version (from pc world) and unable to
use canon scanner 9950f--i can see the toolbox but when i hit scan i get no
driver message---checked canon and no driver available--has anyone been
able to use this scanner in snow leopard macbook pro
thanks, sandy

OK, I see that Canon does not support Lion. I bought a CanoScan 9950 and want to have it recognized and run VueScan. So far I cannot get the scanner recognized in About the Mac nor in VueScan. I downloaded drivers from Canon but it seems from the conversation they don't work with Lion. So what is a boy supposed to do? Is there a way to get the scanner recognized and run with VueScan or am I just SOL? Surely there has to be a fix.
In addition I have a Canoscan FS2710 which I have not been able to use for ages.

Older Canon scanner driver

I have a nice functional older Canon scanner (model #N1220U), which ran great under OS 9 under Classic with the driver that came with it, which was great until I upgraded my mini from a Power PC to an Intel—no more Classic and no more OS 9.
I have searched the Canon site for a driver compatible with Mac OSX and found Scan Expert v. 380X which I downloaded. But it turns out that is only a Photoshop plug-in or something. I don't have Photoshop to plug it into.
Does anybody know what free standing driver will run my still functional, little used scanner? And where I could get it?

That may ultimately be it. It is $40 (although they don't make it easy to find that out) and that may be the most reasonable solution, short of simply buying a new scanner.
I can tell you it won't be a Canon. It isn't that old that they should have no driver that is compatible with a modern operating system.
Thanks for trying. That may be the ticket. If you have any other ideas, send them along.
Or anybody else.

Scanning 4 by 6 photp from Canon scanner to folder in iPhoto06

New to a Mac. I have iMac g5 w/ intel processor. I have a Canon scanner to it. I have some 4 by 6 pictures I need to scan but I want to store them to a folder or file in iPhoto06. Then i want to go to iDVD pick photos and drag the scanned pictures to a theme i choose. I can't seem to figure that out. I cannot locate pix scanned. Could someone please help. I would appreciate it.

If you drag that temporary folder of scanned image files directly into the Source pane it will not only create a roll but an album of those images. The title of the album and roll will be the same as the folder you used so naming that folder to what you want beforehand will save you a couple of steps.Do you Twango?

Unable to load Flash 9 on my Intel MacBook Pro

Unable to load Flash 9 on my Intel MacBook Pro but can on my
Intel iMac. I spoke with a Tech from the Mac Store service area and
was told that there in a thread on this issue but I can't find it.
The basic issue is that I am able to load Adobe Flash Player
9 on my Intel iMac but not on my Intel MacBook Pro and I'm unable
to determain why. I tryed uninstalling and reinstalling three times
and found no difference.
If someone could help me I'd be thankful.

I bought the $29 version of Snow Leopard (not the kosher way of doing things, i know.
If you read the license agreement, there's actually no difference between what's allowed with the $29 copy and the $169 boxed set. The only difference is that the boxed set also includes iLife and iWork. There is also, despite what some will have you believe, nothing in the license agreement that requires Leopard to be pre-installed except in the case of the $10 disk purchased as part of the Up-to-Date program (for folks who bought a machine shortly before SL was released). So, you're not being bitten by some technical requirement for Leopard to be present.
I get a flashing folder with a question mark. My disk drive makes some crazy noises as well, and it seems to start running fast, then slowing down. I think it may have caused a minor scratch on the disk as well.
Sounds like it's possible the drive could be failing, though that's impossible to say for sure remotely. One man's crazy noises are another man's normal state of operations. Do other DVDs work in your drive?
I'll also need to do an "Archive & Install" since there are tons of important files on this machine.
*DO NOT* attempt to install a system update on this machine unless you have good backups! If something goes wrong, you're screwed if you didn't have a backup. Hopefully, you have not reached that point already... I'm unclear on whether your machine is no longer able to boot, or if it's only having trouble when you try to boot from the SL disk.
If your machine is still functional, your first priority before doing *+anything else+* should be to make at least two backups. See my [Mac Backup Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/backups> for assistance with this.
If your machine can't boot anymore, let us know and we'll offer some troubleshooting tips. And don't try to do anything else with it until you've consulted with some expert, whether here or at an Apple Store or somewhere else.

Download 9.1 and 9.2.3 updates and install them

I just upgraded to lion on my intel macbook. I would like to change my facetime alert to something different than a phone ring and, I would like to be able to have full screen. How do I do this?

Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

Final Cut express upgrade for intel macbook pro

I need help i used to have a G5 desktop and got DVD Studio Pro 3 and then i got Final Cut pro 4 with Upgrade, i try to install this software to the intel Macbook Pro wich i have 2 gig of memory, but if I install DVD Studio Pro 3 and Final Cut pro 4 it will run too slow and there is also the error pf agp graphic card missing i know that if you hit esc will run but it is to slow my hp 2.0ghz is faster i need help on which is the best upgrade for the intel mac so i don't have to purchase the software again i saw on www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade there are some option i call apple and they told me to buy the Final Cut Pro 4 or HD (4.5)for $199.00 but i want to make sure this is what i need to do! help

Yes you need to crossgrade to 5.1
The offer only lasts until the end of December and after that it'll probably go back up to $699.
Also I wanted to point out that you're in the Final Cut Express forum asking about Final Cut Pro. Not a huge deal but in the future you might get better results asking Final Cut Pro related questions in the Final Cut Pro forum.
i know that if you hit esc will run but it is to slow my hp 2.0ghz is faster
Your HP runs Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro faster?!? Huh...Bwa?!?
By this I assume you mean your HP runs comparative programs faster (Avid)

I updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and now it won't recognize my Canon Scanner LiDE 210.
Is there a fix for this? It worked with CS6 and CC just fine.

Did you turn off the "show transform controls" option in the move tool?
It sounds like you were using that previously.
And you can always transform by using the Free Transform command (command/control T).
