CanoScan Lide 100 software

I bought a canon portable scanner and wonder if there is another software program
I could use with it that is more Mac-user efficient. The scanner came with an MP Navigator
program that is not great.
thx

The Image Capture application that came preinstalled on your MBP can be used for scanning and has a simple interface. If you seek a professional-level scanning application, consider Hamrick Software's VueScan. It supports your scanner and hundreds of others.

CanoScan LIDE 100

I just connected a Canoscan LIDE 100 to my MacPro.
Is there a way to get this scanner to scan directly into or through the Photoshop interface?
(example: File > Import > Canoscan LIDE 100)

I realize this is an old post but I am having the same problem. i have searched canon's site and
cannot find a driver, etc. to make this scanner scan directly into photoshop.
any suggestions?
thx

Canoscan LIDE 100 platen not moving

My canon LIDE 100 scanner was working perfectly, but after a recent move, stopped. The scanner is present in About my Mac, and responds to calls but makes a short grinding noise and then a driver communication error pops up. I tried the scanner under Windows 7 in Parallels Desktop with the same results. I would chalk this up to a hardware problem, but I had a LIDE 35 last year that I chucked for the same reason. Any ideas? thx!!!

The LiDE scanners have a lock switch underneath. These are On from factory and have been known to move enough to lock the contact sensor when transported.
If the lock is Off then it does sound like a hardware problem - again

How to descreen on a canoscan lide 100?

I have the canoscan but am not using the MP Navigator software
that came with it. I am just using the simple driver that I guess
is with the scanner.
I see no options to descreen.
Any ideas?
thx
deb

If you are using Image Capture then even if you selected the 'Show Details' button there is no Descreen setting. The only time I see Descreen with my LiDE200 is when I use MP Navigator and select to open the image with the scanner driver and then select the Advanced Mode.

Twain Drivers Are Not Recognizing my LiDE 100 Scanner in Photoshop CS5?

This is my first post, mainly becuase I'm stumped on every front to this problem, just bought myself a new 17" Macbook Pro the other day and immediately started to update all my drivers, through on Photoshop CS5 among a few other CS5 programs, but this is where things got hairy...
Since this is a 64 bit intel mac (Snow Leapord) , I went over and decided to download the TWAIN plugin, dropped it in the Import/Export plugins folder, went to the Adobe Photoshop app folder and happily clicked boot as 32 bit... aaaaand... NOTHING. It didn't see my scanner, and my scanner is a Canoscan LiDE 100, not that old. I've already had success doing this with Win 64 bit as long as I opened a 32 bit version of Photoshop, but no luck so far on the Mac. The scanner works fine with Image Capture so I know that he scanner is alive.
I've tried rebooting, finding other TWAIN plugins, even out of curiosity I've toggled between 32 and 64 bit Photoshop to see if the Scanner could be recognized. I know I could scan using Image capture, but I'd rather get this problem sorted out. I know that in some cases people boot using Rosetta, but this scanner isn't that old so I don't think that would be the problem.
If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated, and I realize that sometimes the most simple answer is the one that's the most easily overlooked, and I'm hoping that's the case.
Thanks everyone!

Scanning with TWAIN has become increasingly buggy.
Why not just use the Epson scanner software that came with the scanner?
That way you can continue to use Photoshop while using Epson to scan.
There are more features available from Epson than with Image Capture.
However, if you feel the need to use TWAIN, here is the link for Mac CS5 plugin.
Five seconds with Google would get you this:

My Canoscan Lide 35 has been unresponsive since I have updated mac software to 10.9.1 Mavericks. Help please!

My Canoscan Lide 35 has been unresponsive since I have updated mac software to 10.9.1 Mavericks. I have reinstalled the correct drivers from the canon support page, this didn't work. I have just installed MP Navigator from the canon website as suggested by Apple and try to open it and get the message "The scanner driver supported by this software is not installed. Install it and retry", even though I've just installed it! Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hey, Clinton,
     Thanks for your help! I was able to go to iMovie 9.0.9 and import video. I was still curious as to why it didn't work in version 10.0.2, so I contacted Apple tech support. They were't sure at first as to why it wouldn't work, so they had me delete iMovie 10.0.2 and then re-install it just to see if something had gone wrong when it upgraded. That didn't change anything. In the end, they determined that 10.0.2 doesn't support the Hollywood Dazzle DV bridge. But I have a workaround path from them that I will share so that it's possible to import to 9.0.9, then move it to 10.0.2.
     1. Open iMovie 9 (finder/applications/iMovie 9.0.9
     2. Import from Dazzle Bridge to iMovie 9, note which event you are importing the clips into
     3. Close iMovie 9
     4. Open iMovie 10 (probably in the dock)
     5. File/Import Media...navigate to home(this was my name, on the left side of iMovie, under Favorites)/Movies/iMovie events. Find the event folder that contains your Dazzle clips (tip-try sorting by date modified to look at recent events.)
     6. Select the clips and import. Click the blue "Import Selected" button on the bottom right.
You may get a message that some files cannot be imported. Click continue import. It's a little glitchy. It imports your clip, and also makes a copy of it, too. On the copy, the audio is normal, but the video is choppy. In any case, you would delete the copy, anyway.
Hope this additional information helps somebody else. Thanks again, Clinton for helping me!

How do you get canoscan lide 110 scanner to display in "file import" menu?

I have several older versions of Photoshop Elements running on various computers. In ALL of them, if you go to "File>Import" you see "Canoscan LIDE xx". when you choose it, there is a great scanning application that runs. On a newer computer, i had Photoshop CS5.5 installed. It only shows WIA under the import menu. The scanning software there is horrible. I tried installing the same scanner (lide 110) on an older computer running older photoshop elements and it showed up. i then installed a older version of the elements software on the new computer. Again, the scanner showed up. Not wanting to break licensing agreements, i just downloaded a brand new version of photoshop elements 12 and installed it. it only shows WIA in the file/import menu and not the scanner. therefore, i dont have the scanning software/application i need. without it, this version of elements is 100% useless to me. can someone please help me get my scanner to appear in the "file>import" menu? Yes, i do have the latest version of software downloaded from canon's website.

Hi,
I believe that this is where PC & MAC versions differ.
The PC version will "get from scanner" in the organizer but the MAC version has to "Import from scanner" in the editor. I don't know why they act differently.
It has been posted on this forum (can't find thread at the moment) a fix for the windows version of copying a module from a previous version if you had one. That is not an official fix.
If I find the link I'll post back.

Upgrade from Mac OSX 10.4 to 10.5 + Canoscan Lide 30 Scanner + X11

I have just changed from PC to Mac (iBook G4). The iBook is already set up and workiing properly. Some questions for an inexperienced Mac user:
1. Is it worthwhile changing to OSX 10.5? Will the personal setting be automatically updated or will it led to the inevitable Microsoft crashes?
2. have downloaded drivers (*.dmg) for canoscan lide 30 and tried to install it. The scanner does not work. Which programmes do I need?
3. How/where do I get the latest version of the X11 software for OpenOffice? The downloads from the internet cannot be installed because of the new versions of OSX 10.4.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Kindest reagrds

1. Which iBook model do you have? You need a minimum of 867 mhz, 512MB of memory,
DVD drive for installation and 9GB of available disk space. Doing an upgrade should preserve your user settings. Is it worthwhile? Only you can answer that. Frankly I would stay with Tiger 10.4.11 with your machine.
2. You may need to take that up with Canon.
3.Note 10.4 customers can install X11 by using the Tiger DVD installer disk. See here:

Upgraded to OS X 10.9 and now cannot connect to Canoscan LIDE 90 Scanner. Cant find a new driver anywhere. Any ideas??

I have upgraded to OS X 10.9 and now I cannot connect to my Canoscan LIDE 90 Scanner. Cant find a new driver anywhere. Any ideas??

Like Dan White, I have found that I can still run the Lide 90 under Mavericks. As Dan says, the buttons on the front of the scanner don't work but I rarely if ever used them.
I have just tested the scanner using Acrobat Pro and it loads up the Scangear software to capture the scan, with no problems at all. I didn't have to reinstall anything as it was all there already and working in Mountain Lion. Photoshop CS 5.1 is different; it does not recognise the scanner, presumably because it can't find a TWAIN driver for it. Image Capture does not recognise the scanner either, but I don't have the latest (10.8) Canon MP Explorer and Explorer Opener software installed.

I have a CanoScan Lide 700F scanner ,how do I scan Black and white neg.and turn them into positives?

I am scaning all old pictures, docts, slides ,but I have alot of b&w negs verious sizes, how can I turn them into b&w positives??

Hi Teddy.
The MP Navigator EX software that was bundled with your CanoScan LiDE 700F can be used to scan your black and white negatives. To use the MP Navigator, please follow these steps:
1. Start MP Navigator EX and open the Navigation Mode screen.
2. Point to Scan/Import and click Film.
3. Place the film on the Platen.
4. Click Specify... to set the document size and scanning resolution as required.
5. When setting is completed, click OK.
Important
Film may not be scanned correctly when Film Type in the Scan Settings dialog box is set to Auto. In that case, select the type of film in Film Type and scan again.
Note
To scan black and white film, it is recommended that you select Black and White Negative Film or Black and White Positive Film for Film Type in the Scan Settings dialog box.
6. Click Scan. Preview scan starts. When preview scan of the film is completed, the preview image appears.
Important
If a message for calibration appears, remove the film, then place the Film Adapter Unit over the first frame of the Film Guide and click OK.
7. When the calibration is completed, follow the on-screen instructions to load the film into the Film Guide, then click OK.
Note
Preview image does not appear when the Preview before scanning checkbox is not selected in the Scan Settings dialog box. The scanned images appear directly in the Thumbnail window.
8. Select the checkbox of the frame and click Scan. When scanning is completed, the Scan Complete dialog box opens.
9. Select Scan or Exit. To scan another frame, place the Film Adapter Unit over the frame you want to scan, then select Scan. Select Exit to end.
The scanned images appear in the Thumbnail window.
10. Edit the scanned images as required. Use Edit Tools to rotate images, select a part of an image, etc.
Note
First select images to edit. (Selected images are outlined in orange.) Drag the mouse or use Shift + arrow keys to select multiple images.
11. Save the scanned images.

Canoscan LiDE 210 won't work on my macbook pro

Can't get my scanner to work on my macbood pro, OSX 10.8.4. I've downloaded the driver for the scanner and the MP Navigator EX 5.02. MPNav won't even open. LIsts only a few Canon products supported. EXTREMELY frustrating.

I should have clarified I was referenceing the software as Canoscan LiDE 5.0.1.4 for Mac OS X. It appears to be the most current version.
The scanner is a Canon model CanoScan LiDE 600F. After posting, I found and installed the current scanner driver. Same results with a subsequent scan attempts. The preview displays the full picture, but finished horz. image is clipped at the top and shows part of the sprocket holes at the bottom of the frame.
But after teasing the piece of film into the most extream position against the bottom edge of the holder with a toothpick I was able to trial and error some full frame images with minimal clipping. I suspect it is a software problem. Probably some focusing or alignment algorythm
The film adapter is a 13"X4" device that lays on the larger glass, a cable plugs into a port labled FAU and the device engages two magnetic latches to exactly position the film adapter. The adapter itself has a hinged lid and seems to be disigned for a 35 mm strip of film, not an idividual cut frame. The larger scanner lid is double hindged, so it can close over the film adapter when its mounted on scanner bed.

Has 10.8.3 broken Canon Lide 100 driver?

My Canon Lide 100 scanner powered by MP Navigator EX software no longer works after installation of 10.8.3. The error message says that the relevant driver is not installed. Even after re-installation of the latest available software the same error appears. Any suggestions as to a workaround?

Just to be clear when you say you downloaded the latest software, you downloaded MP Navigator EX 2.0.6 and MP Navigator EX 2.0 Opener from the Canon website? If you did and it doesn't work then you will probably have to wait for Canon to update the software.

Re: Trouble with peripherals (CanoScan LIDE 30 Scanner & HP LaserJet 1020)

The Canon CanoScan LIDE 30 scanner didn't have any autodetection, so I want to the Canon Web site to look for drivers. I grabbed the drivers, packaged in a .dmg file, from Canon. Running the setup file, I was a bit perplexed what it wanted me to do, so I installed the drivers in the Applications directory and rebooted the system when prompted.
That did nothing - I still couldn't access the scanner. I tried a couple other places - root of the hard drive, /Library/Image Capture... nothing.
I'm at a complete loss here, and couldn't figure out how to do it.
And the printer.
I hooked up the HP LaserJet 1020 to the Mac. Nothing happened, so I went into the Print & Fax System Utility to set it up. The printer browser was able to detect it, but there was no listing for the HP LaserJet 101 in the driver selections. Hewlett Packard doesn't offer Mac drivers for the printer.
Anything I can do to get these two peripherals working?
Feel free to CC responses to [email protected]

The Canon CanoScan LIDE 30 scanner usually installs a file "N124u-buttonmanager" in your Login items (actually the standard install used to put the "buttonmanager" for both the LiDE 20 and LiDE 30 scanners, see this User Tip: kmosx2: Looking for devices matching vendor..).
Their more recent software is better behaved: I have an all in one, and there are no Login items, everything is installed in a "Canon Utilities" folder inside "/Applications".
So, if the software you downloaded includes a "buttonmanager", make sure you choose the right one (see the User Tip) and put it in your login items (System Preferences > Accounts).

CanoScan LiDE 60 scanner driver problems

I'm usually pretty good at troubleshooting software issues on my iMac, but this scanner problem has me absolutely stumped!!! My old Canon CanoScan LiDE 60 scanner stopped working the other day...out of the blue. I have been using the ScanGear software without a hitch, and now every time I open the program, I get a "Failed To Open Driver" message. I figured out that I obviously needed to upgrade my software and drivers. I did some research online and was told I needed to install the new CanoScan software and driver from the Canon website. This scanner model is technically not supported by Snow Leopard, but some people got it to work!! Well...I tried that, followed all instructions correctly, then restarted my Imac and replugged my scanner USB cord. I opened the ScanGear software again, but I still have the missing driver message!! I've been trying several little tricks to get it work, but still nothing. I'm at the point where I need to start from scratch and uninstall everything related to the scanner, but I'm not sure how to do that correctly either, removing all the orphaned data! Can someone please give me a step-by-step process what I need to do?

Guys, thanks for this. I've had similar problems but with your help and others solved both issues for the Toolbox and Driver (OS X10.6.8):
Make sure all previous drivers downloads etc are deleted, inc the DMG files etc and disconnect the scanner.
You can then download the latest Toolbox from the UK site [dated Feb 2011] (it doesn't require you to reboot, for some strange reason??). Then download the latest driver from the Australian site. You have to reboot then.
Everything seems to work fine. No preview as before unfrotunately but goes a treat. Hope that helps guys.

Can CanoScan Lide 20 work with Lion?

Since installing Lion, my CanoScan Lide 20 is not usable - Canoscan Toolbox software no longer opens; downloaded latest drivers and when trying to install, get error message that PowerPC applications no longer supported. Anybody know of a workaround?

CanoScan Toolbox is obsolete. U need to find something called MP Navigator EX. That works here with canon scanners.
