Canon Solution for Scanning in CS3 Photoshop, et al: ScanGear for OSX

After updating to Snow Leopard and having Adobe CS3 Web Premium, I found that I could not scan directly inside of Photoshop (or Fireworks), even after downloading the Canon Updates. After drilling through the web, I found a solution that is working great. I only wish that Apple's compatibility site would have shown this link, which is found in a European site (you can choose English, among other languages). It installs "ScanGear for OSX" and, for me, this has resolved everything. Here's the link:

Hope this information is helpful to others (I had been searching for some time within the haystack).

Use the standalone scanning software that came with the scanner, save the files and open them in CS6.
That also gives you the opportunity to work in PS while scanning.
Should the standalone also crash, consider a third party program, such as Vuescan.

•My Bootable Backup Solution for OSX & XP on MBP 17"

Hi,
I thought I would share my solution to getting a bootable back up of both my OSX partition and my Boot Camped XP partition on my MBP 17"
If you have ever had a HD meltdown and had to re-install everything, your probably now like me, a back up fanatic! I was getting bugged because I had no way to have redundant HD backups that I have on my G5 for my MBP.
Well I found a way to create swappable bootable back up HD's for my MBP (with a OSX & XP partition).
Now I'm sure others have found ways to do this (probably even easier) but this was my solution and its been fully tested. So if you want to have a completely mirrored HD to the one in your MBP, so if it tanks you can just install the back up and its ready to go, heres what I did,,,,
You need the following items (I already had them but here are some links).
Synchronize Pro X
http://www.qdea.com/pages/pages-sprox/sprox1.html
Casper XP
http://www.fssdev.com/products/casperxp/
OWC 2.5 HD enclosure or new HD with enclosure (make sure its size matches the one you have!
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/add-ons-and-hubs/enclosure-kits
A Philips head "0" screw driver & a Torks No. 6 (if your swapping the drive your self)
Once you have the above....
1. Install (or have an Apple Pro instal) the blank HD (soon to be your bootable back-up).
2. Run you MBP instal disk.
3. Install Boot Camp (Run the size partition you want I used 50/50)
4. Install XP
5. Re-install your old HD (with all your stuff on it:)
6. Plug in your new external back-up firewire HD
7. Open OSX partition and launch Synchronize Pro to replicate your OSX partition to the external drive.
8. Restart and open XP partition and launch Casper XP to replicate the XP partition to the external drive.
9. As needed, repeat steps 8 & 9 to keep your external drive up to date with your internal drive.
Now should tragedy strike your internal drive, you have a ready made replica you can just install and go!
Granted this may not make sense for everyone, but I have 48 gigs of games and server files on my XP partition (all the games and software that will never be released for Macs) that I NEVER want to go and re-install, Not to mention all the Windows speed tweaks and tricks:)
I hope this helps someone:-)

I agree with "BillF". Your problem is not with the computer but with the windoze installation. Like it or not, I think you are going to have to bite the bullet and do a reinstall of windoze including a fresh export of the windoze drivers. Unfortunately, even though you are running on a Mac, it's still windoze and you know how windoze is, right? When you do reinstall, don't forget to completely erase the windoze partition (don't just install over the current installation) or you may just end up with the same problems all over again.
"If only Explorer was still available for the new Macs..."
I know what you mean. Exactly why I still run the nasty thing. That and a nutritional label program that I can't live without.....
PS Just in case I would consider reinstalling Boot Camp as well....

Hi there, In CS3 I saw both my scanners in Import From Device, but in CS4 they are vanished, anyone have a solution for me? Thanks in advance.

Hi there, In CS3 I saw both my scanners in Import From Device, but in CS4 they are vanished, anyone have a solution for me? Thanks in advance.

The Twain.Plugin conflicted with bad scanner drivers made by scanner manufacturers and caused too many problems so it is not installed by default. Its in the goodies folder.
But I have to ask. Why tie up a $1000 application to use a $100 scanner? Use the scanner as a stand alone with the software that came with the scanner or use VueScan that way you can keep working while you are scanning. BTW you know that you are using the scanner software when you scan through photoshop right. Photoshop has no scanning capabilities built in.

How to install Canon LIDE60 scanner plugin & scan direct in PhotoShop CS4?

I just installed CS4 PhotoShop on my MBPro and can't remember how to install Canon driver for my Canon LIDE60 scanner so that I can scan directly from the PhotoSHop IMPORT menu? Can anyone please help? Thanks

I found out that I had installed the Canon drivers OK, I just had to download the Adobe Photoshop CS4 Optional plug-ins and ReadMe http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4047 and after a restart it all works fine in CS4, OS X 10.5.6

Solution for scanning multiple pages from inside the form6i/10g

Hi All,
I need to scan multiple pages from Oracle forms (6i/10g) using a scanner which is scanning multiple pages per minute. Can any one post a solution for me.
Hafeez

here are the two ways I use to scan images.
1) if the image is a single TIF image then d2kwutil can upload the image into a BLOB field on the database (but it is limited to only SINGLE-page TIFs).
2) if the image is a single or multi-page PDF, then your forms client must copy the image to a filesystem location known by the database (where the filesystem location is a directory on the database), and then the database can import the image into a BLOB field within the database.
either solutions work pretty fast for me (<10 seconds per image)

TA24002 My 500 GB can't verify nor repair. I have photoshop work that I need to recover. I would like to know which erase option would be the best solution for this problem.

My 500 GB can't verify nor repair. I have photoshop work that I need to recover. I would like to know what option would be the best solution for this problem?

You appear to have two issues: 1) a hard drive that is not working properly and 2) files you wish to recover.
Re 1) you need to answer Kappy's questions.
Re 2) does the drive load and can you see your photo files? If so can you copy them to another drive?
Do you not have a backup of the photo files?

Cannot get CS3 photoshop on my mac os10 to open my canon rebel T1i .CR2 files

I have spent hours downloading a variety of stuff and still cannot get CS3 photoshop on my mac os10 to open my canon rebel T1i .CR2 files. I have downloaded the Camera Raw 4.6 plugin. Photoshop acknowledges that is the version installed. But it won't recognize the .CR2 file type. When I say show me all files, the files show up in the open file dialog, and the thumbnails look right, but when I open the file it is munged. I also installed the DNG Converter, which also does not recognize the .CR2 files.
Has anyone figured this out yet? It has been almost a year. I don't want to upgrade to CS4 or 5 or buy Lightroom.

The Adobe DNG Converter 6.2 will open your files, if you have an uncorrupted download and use it properly. No doubt about that.
Once you launch it, be sure to target a folder containing raw files, not the raw files themselves. At least on the Mac, the DNG Converter works on folders, not on individual files.
Alternatively, you can try dragging and dropping the individual raw files onto the DNG Converter icon.
Some routine maintenance may be overdue on your Mac, such as Repairing Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility, running Onyx or Cocktail, etc.

Hi cannot import RAW photos from my canon eos 5d mark 3 to iphoto 9.6 with iOS X Yosemite. Fotos are black. Did you have a solution for that?

hi cannot import RAW photos from my canon eos 5d mark 3 to iphoto 9.6 with iOS X Yosemite. Fotos are black. Did you have a solution for that?

Thanks. Once ImageCapture had accessed the photos, THEN iPhoto began to pick up the data, so I was ultimately able to do both. It only worked with the cable, though, not the card readers. Weird.
And I really appreciate the ImageCapture tip. Any idea why it worked?

OS10.9.2 on an Intel Mac CS3 Photoshop says on startup 'licensing for product has stopped working.'

Using OS 10.9.2 on an Intel Mac, my CS3 Photoshop says . licensing for this product has stopped working.' I've reinstalled and attempted to use the fix in the Adobe website. However the fix will not work on an Intel Mac only a G5.

For Intel Macs running 10.7 and above, there is a python script that you copy and paste into Terminal. Have you tried it?

Solution for Vista, missing Postscript fonts, & CS3

Just switched over 64-bit Vista (first time on Vista for me--no more ATM Lite) and found that even if I installed my old .pfm-conforming postscript fonts, they'd show up in everything but CS3.
I had followed Adobe's directions for Vista and postscript files, and installed by right clicking and selecting "install". All showed up in the Windows/Font directory, but the only PS font Photoshop saw was Myriad.
Since Myriad is Adobe's font, and was probably installed with CS3, I tried uninstalling all PS/Type 1 fonts from the Fonts directory. Myriad disappeared as well.
So I figured, no, Myriad must have been installed in the same place as the others.
Nonetheless, I tried dropping my postscript files (.pfm, .pfb. .inf for each) into Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts, and THAT worked.
Now all my postscript files function perfectly fine throughout CS3--Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.
64-bit related? Vista installs only .pfm files in the font directory but CS3 wants the .pfb or .inf files as well? No idea. But I do know Adobe's support docs were useless on this matter.

I did and got a friendly guy who apparently had never heard of the 2739 error. I was hoping to get some support here. In another thread I read something about holding the installation window until installation starts. I can try it, but I doubt I am quick enough before the error window opens.

I have two Canon Printers, an MP970 and a MX710, I want to use both to scan, but the Canon Solution

I have two Canon printers an MP970 and an MX710, when I installed the MX710 it disabled my ability to access the MP970 SCANNER from the Canon Solution Menu.
I have tried to re-install the drivers and the MP970 Solutions but even that only allows the scanner in the MX710?
IS there any way to use the scanners for both? AND what do I need to do.

Hi bburtjr,
The MP970 and MX710 use two seperate versions of the Solution Menu, so I think what is happening is that it copied over your desktop shortcut with the latest version which nly shows the 710. If both versions of the Solution Menu are still on the computer, they should be accessible under your Start Menu if you are using Windows or your Applications Menu if you are on a Mac. Under the Start Menu you would go to All Programs and Canon Utilities and it should list two seperate versions of Solution Menu. The newwer version being for the 710 and the older being for the 970. On Mac, if you click Go from Finder, and click Applications, you should have the same Canon Utilities folder and the same applies as it does in Windows. You should have two versions of Solution Menu, one for each printer.
Did this answer your question? Please click the Accept as Solution button so that others may find the answer as well.

Does BEA have a solution for report

Hi, everyone,
I am new for BEA's solution.
Recently, I am surveying some JAVA reports in order substitute the crystal report
in VB.
It seems that BEA has good reputation in AP server.
Could you tell me if BEA provide the solution for generating reports?
Thaknx in advance

NukeShim,
Could confirm that you're seeing the scanner, that is the LiDE-80 specifcally, under Image Capture in Mavericks, and that you can scan? Not showing up for me on a 2012 MBP running the latest 10.8.5 .
I'd actually really be surprised if it would, since the LiDe-80 specifically was internally different from the rest of the LiDE series. Canon didn't write the original drivers for them, some 3d-party did. The drivers were weak MacOS 9 updates (filename limited to 32 chars, no unicode support). They were never updated for the Intel Macs, unlike most of the LiDE line. I know this because I corresponded with Canon on this in 2008. The last driver is a PowerPC one from 2005, which officially supports up to 10.4 only, although IIRC it did work for me on 10.5 for a while after doing some manual installing.
