CanoScan LiDE 25 will not work.   aaaaaaarrgh!!

I have been trying to install drivers and software for my CanoScan LiDE 25.
In my latest attempt, I actually get the drivers to install, but then I get an error message when I plug in the scanner.
I think this question is less of a cry for help and more just wondering if ANYONE has got their older CanoScan scanner to work under OS X 10.5.5?

After numerous attempts at d/l and installing the supposedly correct driver for my Canon Lide 60 I gave up and bought a new scanner. I tried VueScan and then realised that the cost of signing up for it, in about 2 years, would be MORE than cost of a complete new scanner.
Now I think of it as VueScam. Some smart person who, knowing there are issues on the Mac with many scanners, has moved in with a product you can't just buy, but have to subscribe to.
The other pain in the * about VueScan is the almost endless updates that you have to install on an almost weekly basis. Who needs that? Now instead, I have a fully functional scanner.
I'll never buy another Canon product again.

  • Canoscan Lide 200 will not start

    After upgrading to Yosemite, when I plug in my USB-driven Canon scanner (into my Macbook Air from 2010) I get an error message advising that "a problem" occurred. Anyone else finding that a Canoscan Lide scanner will not start in Yosemite? Any suggestions as how to fix this situation? Thanks in advance.

    Many thanks as well from me.
    I was having a similar problem after upgrading to Yosemite with a USB CanoScan LiDE 700F. Don't think I had to install any drivers under Mavericks. Under Yosemite it just appears dead. Nothing ever happens. But, did see this error in Console whenever I plugged in the scanner. Then via a search found the above post.
    For the LiDE 700F files are at:

  • Canon scanner (Canoscan 8600F series) will not work after OS upgrade.

    I used the scanner when when it was 10.6 just fine and 10.7 but as soon as I upgraded it to 10.8, it wouldn't.  Officially the website supports up to 10.6.  I don't know how it worked on 10.7.  Now, it doesn't even recognize the scanner. 
    One thing was I did wipe out the drive and re-install the OS because OS upgrades would perform better.  Trying to re-installing the older drivers don't help. 

    First, Canon (and a few other printer and scanner) drivers are distributed via Apple's software updates.
    Then, 10.8.2 requires many if not most apps and drivers to be updated. If you just upgraded to 10.8.2, the newest drivers should be included, otherwise they should show up once you run Software Update.
    Alternatively, you can check http://support.apple.com/downloads/ for the latest and greatest.
    However, it appears that your scanner is not (yet?) supported in 10.8.2. Check here and follow the link there: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#canon - your scanner is not listed.
    Note that it's Canon's job to provide the drivers, Apple only helps distributing them. So, you may want to contact Canon and ask them, then sit and wait... sorry...

  • YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

    YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
    I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

    You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

  • TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

    My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

    - After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod?  If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
    - If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • I was using Lightroom v5.6 when a notice came up to update to v5.7.  I did the down load but must have gotten a bad down load because it will not install.   And the old 5.6 on my desktop will not work.   So no 5.6 or 5.7 . any ideas  how to get something

    I was using Lightroom v5.6 when a notice came up to update to v5.7. So I did the download but it would not work or install.  And the 5.6 version will not work now either.   So I am screwed - no 5.6 or 5.7 and no access to Adobe Tech.   Any help will be appreciated.

    My iPod is a click wheel...I think that's fifth generation?
    I've always used my firewire cable to update my iPod. I've tried using USB in the past but for some reason it always says that my iPod has low battery and won't let me update it, so I just use firewire. Can I not use firewire with itunes 7?
    I'll try using the USB again. It's laying around here somewhere. Just gotta find it.

  • Flash player will not work on my computer, would love advice

    I have windows vista.  When I visit a web page that requires flash, it instructs me to download it (even though I'm sure I have it ialready...).  I do so, it says it has downloaded successfully but I still cannot view the website.  I have uninstalled my current version of flash and reinstalled the latest version numerous times.  It even shows up in my list of programs.  But each time I visit a site that uses it, it tells me I need flash to view it.  Very frustrating.  And suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    This was very helpful - thank you.  I unchecked "active x filtering" and it seems to be working, under tools in IE.  a simple solution, that may have taken me days to figure out myself!  Hopefully it continues to work from thiis point forward.  Thanks!

  • My work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud, so I hard sync.  But then the new info on my iPhone does not backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?

    I have a Macbook and iPhone and like to back up to iCloud.  However, my work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud.  The company has no plans to update anytime soon.  Since the calendar and contact list on my office computer are my primay ones, I hard sync through iTunes.  The problem is that any data synced from Outlook 2003 to the iPhone from iTunes does NOT later backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?

    I have the same problem with Outlook 2003 and Win XP which the multinational organisation I work for standardises on and will probably stay with forever!

    I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.
