Canon scanner not recognised after Mac wakes up.

Hi
I have been using a Canon LIDE 60 scanner since I bought my eMac 4 or so years ago. It's always worked fine.
But since upgrading to Leopard a few months ago I've been having trouble with it.
What happens is that after the Mac goes into deep sleep mode (it's set to have the hard drive sleep too) and the scanner is not recognised after the computer wakes up.
I get an error message when I open up a TWAIN program (CanoScan Toolbox or Image Capture) saying that there is no scanner available.
Sometimes, usually actually, if I disconnect the USB cable and then re-attach it the scanner becomes available again. But sometimes not.
I have what I believe to be the most recent driver for this scanner, dl'd recently from Canon's web site. First I uninstalled the old driver and then restaterd my eMac before installing the new driver.
I'm using whatever version of Image Capture came with Mac OS and I'm using CanoScan Toolbox version 4.9.3.4 (version 5.0 does not work at all).
Any way to get this to stop happening?

Canon scanner not communicating with mac min using OS 10.5.8

I am using a mac mini with OS 10.5.8. I am trying to scan in papers with a Canon Canoscan N1240U. This is the message I am receiving.
     Cannot communicate with canner.
     Cable may be disconnected.
     Check status.
     Scanner driver will be closed.
I have used this scanner before with this mac mini. Any suggestions why this is happening and to correct the issue.

I think you should, if you can, try the scanner on a different computer to rule out a problem with the scanner or it's usb cable. Then, if you have the software install disk for the scanner run it. Or download and install a new driver or software. Use the finder to find and delete any files for the scanner and then reinstall them. set the scanner up in systempreferences as if it's a newly installed item.

Audio device not recognised after Mac OS upgrade

I bought a MacBook Pro with the new operating system OS-X 10.5 (Leopard) and not recognize my behringer BCD3000.
There was any solution?

I just got the bcd3000 and it works on my macbook with leopard. What I had to do: go to applications -> utilities - > audio/midi setup -> audio -> open aggregate device editor -> + to add a new device which I called bcd3k, checked both bdc3000 devices below -> done
In traktor LE I selected this aggregated device, in my case bcd3k. Now it works fine.

MSI E350IA-E45 USB Not recognised after cold boot.

Any one else have the same issue? My asus (Bluetooth) BT211 is not recognised after cold boot.
I also found the front USB's losing power when PC turned off. Connected them up to 5VSB to fix the issue.
MSI tech has not been back to me if this is a fault design, My motherboard issue or bios issue? Which also means to charge via front USB not work when turned off.
And to top it off I cannot find an answer to whether the Wake on Bluetooth USB is supposed to work?

How did you connect up the USB ports to 5VSB?
I have a similar issue with a newer MSI board and my USB mouse; I'd have to remove and re-insert the USB connection to the mouse after each cold boot in order for it to be recognized. I did a kludge fix by looping the mouse through a powered USB hub that supplies power to connected devices even when the PC is off.
This MSI board doesn't have a hardware jumper to enable 5VSB to the USB ports, unlike other motherboards. Also, none of the "green" or wakeup settings in the BIOS would cause the USB ports to have power when the PC is off.
So, how do you connect 5VSB to the USB ports? I've heard that crossing the regular 5V rail with 5VSB is a no-no, so I can't imagine how you did it.

20" Apple Cinema Display not recognised after upgrading to OS 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)

20" Apple Cinema Display not recognised after upgrading to OS 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion).
Hello Apple! Anybody there? How long does your community have to wait for a solution?
The same problem has been unsolved for months now. No statements from Apple either.
I was told today to wait for 10.8.3. This might solve the issue. I can not belive my ears.
My MacBookPro 4,1, Intel Core 2 Duo with 2.5 GHz Processor and Graphics chip: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, will not talk to the exter. 20" Cinema Display ( Model Number A1081 ). The screen stays black. Resetting the PRAM did not help. I removed the 'com.apple.windowserver.plist' and the 'com.apple.windowserver.OE35739etc,etcxxxxxxxxxxx.plist', but that did not help either.
Any other solutions, or do I have to downgrade or give up on Apple Computers alltogether after using them for over 25 years?

I found out that I needed a $100 mini displayport to dual-link dvi adapter to make my $30" cinema display work with my macbook pro
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter?fnode=51
When I found out that solved the problem, I took it back because that was too expensive for a stupid adapter, and it still didn't work perfectly.

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

Keith,
I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

MacBook Air Camera is not connected after mac OS update

MacBook Air Camera is not connected after mac update
I have a MacBook Air OS X version - 10.9.4 . I updated my mac 1 week before but todayI check that my mac in built camera is not working Even I try to check in this thing in all the apps. Please provide the way how to sort out this issue asap.

Use the suggestions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
The SMC reset often fixes your problem.
Be sure you follow the instructions for your particular Mac model.
If your problem continues, restart Mac. Then download and install OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
If that does not correct the problem, reinstall Mac OS X.
If nothing else works, contact your Apple Service provider or Apple MacBook Support for help.

Videos not recognised after updating software

My iPod won't sync my videos. This is for all video files (.mov, .mpv, the lot). They played fine on my video iPod before and they still play in iTunes, but when I try to update, I just get a "file not recognised by your iPod" message. This only happened after I installed the latest updates.
I'm on OSX 10.4.10, latest iTunes and iPod software. This is really annoying-- should have known better than to update mac software when prompted, I guess.

I have almost the same problem - After I had updated, I could still play my music videos on my ipod, but I couldn't download to the ipod. Now, after doing a reset, all video podcasts and new videos appear to be on the ipod but when I play them all I get is the audio track, even for 'old' videos I played before. This applies to movies and tv programs as well, which has upset me more than anything else as the movie I have on my ipod is a short one of my daughters wedding. Come on Apple - put this right - or has anyone else come up with a solution??

Scanner not recognised in Photoshop CS3

My Canon 9950F scanner is recognised in Photoshop CS2 but not in Photoshop CS3. I've deleted the driver and reinstalled but still the same issue. Any ideas?

Scanner drivers are usually very sensitive to different versions of applications and the system itself. First thing to do is to go to the scanenr providers website and look for newer drivers and download and isntall the latest ones and not use the old ones that once upon a time came with the scanner. Installation of scanner drivers are often tricky and you have to follow the instructions provided to the letter. We ahd an issue at work with an Epson scanner driver and Photohsop CS2. Installation and features worked just fine on on G5 - but not on another with identical system. Go figure. In the end we cloned the entire machine with the working installation (user is on homeserver on network which doesn't interfere with content on the machine itself) to the other one and then it worked there as well.
Or get VueScan from http://www.hamrick.com/ - supports most scanners in many versions.
Edit: I doubt that scanner providers already have scanner drivers for Photoshop CS3.

WD external harddisk not recognised after failed format

Hi folks,
So I have an old WD 320GB harddisk I pulled from an old windows acer 5535 I wasn't using, I tried formatting it to OSX journaled so i could use it to back my friends mac up. The drive was initially readable and showed my windows 7 and files I had on there.
I left it to work for a couple of hours, when I came back it said it had failed. I have since read about the 'correct' way to format this drive.
The drive no longer shows up in disk utility or in system profiler under USB.
I'm plugging in using a USB SATA enclosure.
The mac I tried to format on is an old white unibody running 10.6.8, it's not recognised on my imac running 10.8.4.
The disk spins and the green light on the enclosure is lit.
Have I killed it or can I save it with some more powerful software?
Cheers!
Karl,

Yes i thought this too, problem is my old acer's GPU is problematic and will only work now and again, I think it needs re-flowing. I'll put the hard drive back and try to get it booted up and see what happens. I'm guessing it's no good now anyway after the mac tried to format it for a while.
Will report back.
Karl.

Printers not recognised in Mac OSX 7.5

My Epson R1800 print drivers are not recognised in Print & Scan Preferences. I just can't print. I can't access any drivers. Don't understand what I am doing wrong. Everything was working OK and suddenly my printer went off line. I removed it from the print scan section and reinstalled but have been unable to add or even find any printers I have installed. Just desn't work.

Plug-in for Canon iPF8400 not recognised in Photoshop CC 2014. Lost Topaz and Nik Software as well.

I have just updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and lost the plug-ins for Canon iPF8400 printer, Topaz Labs, and Nik Software. I had been asked if I wanted to migrate plug-ins and said yes. I have dropped the plug-ins into the Photoshop plug in folder but they are note being recognised.

Similar problems here with Topaz Labs plug-ins.
Unfortunately I have now uninstalled Photoshop CC so the option of copying them into Photoshop CC 2014 is no longer viable and Photoshop CC 2014 simply does not recognise them.
Waiting for response from Topaz labs

Canon cameras not recognised in iPhoto 11

Hi, since upgrading to iPhoto 11 my canon cameras (Powershot A3000 and eos 350D) are not recognised. The eos shows 'busy' on the screen but does not show up in iPhoto, and the powershot does nothing. The cameras are not showing in System Profiler of Image Capture either, and do not mount onto the desktop (they have never done that).
I have checked the firmware of the eos and it looks as if it has the latest version.
Does anyone have any ideas what to do next?
Many thanks
Lisa

I've been away on holiday so it's been a while since I've bothered to try & sort this... however, today I looked through the related software updates for Canon EOS 350D (http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010192.asp) and downloaded 2 updates just for the **** of it (http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0039362.asp?model= and http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0039378.asp?model=) and I'm guessing one of them resolved the issue, because when I connected up my camera and switched it on, iPhoto swung into action and there was my camera!
Yippee!! Normal service has been resumed!

Changing permissions in /proc doesn't help either:

sudo scanimage -L still only picks up the tv card. Any other ideas? Thanks!

Script/utility to automate app/file quit & open after Mac wakes up

Hi all,
I'm looking for a utility or a script which allows to quit a running app/file (say word, running a doc) before the Mac goes to a set SLEEP MODE, and also need that same app/file to start 5-10 seconds right after the Mac wakes from the sleep mode setting.
Thank you for your answers/directions on this!
