CanoScan N650U

I have the Canon Scanner N650U was working fine but just stopped, I haven't done any updates recently apart from installing Photoshop CS3 but I copied over the driver.
I've tried all the VueScan, SANE and CanonPI CS-U 3.8X but nothing is working.
Basically what is happening is I go to the PhotoShop Import menu select the CanonPI one the scanner comes to life but almost immediately come up with a warning the scanner is not connected. The scanner keeps scanning until the bar reaches the end of the scanner bed and make noise before you have to pull the USB plug to stop it.
The annoying thing is it still work when I tested it on a PC running WinXP, so it must be a driver issue. Maybe I have too many scanner programs installed and they are getting confused? I really like this scanner have had it a number of years and there is nothing wrong with it apart from not playing well with Leopard anymore.

Unfortunately the backup from CS2 is gone as I installed CS3 over a month ago, I've been using a network Brother scanner/printer in the mean time but this has fewer options than the Canon.
And I no longer have access to a copy of CS2.
I just find it frustrating I can install it on WinXP from the original CD but can no longer do that with OS X. If I had the money I'd go out and get a new Canon scanner but why spend money when I have a perfectly good scanner and just need the right OS X drivers.
BTW it was work with CS3 at one point, I copied across the 'CanonPI CS-U 3.8X' plugin into the CS3 folder. which is the confusing bit. I didn't do any other changes and it just stopped working on OS X.

Using a Canon Scanner in Panther

I made the System 9 to 10.3 upgrade this weekend and have almost everything up and working or figured out.
My Canoscan N650U is still a mystery. I downloaded the drivers from Canon and ran the installer. I had expected that the scanner would show up in "Image Capture". Alas it tells me I have no input device installed (although I am on the scanner tab in Image Capture). I did run teh repair permissions utility, but nothing changed.
System profiler shows the presence of a Canon scanner on the USB.
How do I get the scanner to scan?
I think I can still run the Canon toolkit in Classic, but I was expecting to be able to work with the scanner in 10.
Any help welcomed

To add a little more to John's responce.
I have found that If your Scanner worked with 9 That most times all of the utilitys and Insallation and setup for OS9 do not transfer to 10, unless the Installer places a Set-up and Utility folder in OSX.
Many times, and bear in mind each Scanner can be a little different. You can do a couple of different things, You can either go to the Scanner Manufactures site and search for the Insallation and set-up for OSX and when it downloads the folder or folders you have to manually drag and drop them to the Applications folder, then open that folder and then double click to open them in OSX.
Remember Applications...NOT OS9 Applications.
This will sometimes do it, more often than not.
The other way is to close OS9 and try to use the Insallation CD and see if it will download to OSX, some will some won't. This should give you some Idea's
Oh one other thing some Scanners only offer software for OS9 on there Install cd's and you may have to look for 3rd party software for your scanner.... Don

Canon stopped supporting Canoscan 9950F on Apple, but still on Windows 8. What can I do to fix this?

Upon upgrading to the latest Apple release, my Canon Canoscan 9950F no longer works. After dialoging with the Canon representatives, the offered me a "discounted price" on new hardware. They support Windows 8, but decided not to support Mountain Lion. What can I do? I have a $400 dollar paper-weight that I don't want to send to the landfill.
"Thank you for contacting Canon product support. Due to the age of the scanner, Canon has decided not to support the CanoScan 9950F on 10.8. For customers in this situation, Canon offers the Canon Loyalty Program. This is for out of warranty units which have been diagnosed to require service, or for some reason are incompatible with a new or upgraded system. This option allows you a one-time opportunity to purchase a replacement product, discounted from the list price."
Note - if I have to replace this, what is the best scanner to use for film and negatives?

Since you purchased Lion at some point, I wonder if the most cost effective move would be to spend under $100 for a new USB3 external drive, and install Lion and your 9950F scanner drivers there. Boot external when you want to scan. Drive visible to Mountain Lion desktop for shared files. The USB3 drive is backwards compatible with USB2. Western Digital has some portable Mac drives here. The 1TB is $99 at Best Buy in the U.S.
If you still have a machine running Lion, you can boot into Recovery and have it install onto the new USB3 external drive. Otherwise, it is another Lion download. Do not run the installer. Then you let Lion Diskmaker build you an external, bootable USB Lion installer stick.

I have OS 10.8.2 and connected the scanner Canoscan Lide110. I downloaded the drivers, looked installed, the scanner appears in the system preferencies, but it doesn't open!!! what i have to do? thanks in advance for your kind advice!

Thanks for your help Karen Serena. Obviously, it appears in the list of printers and scaners on the left, into the "Print and Scan" with system preferencies. Then i click it , it appears on the right, then i click "open scanner" below the name and opens a window writing "open device failed". When i connect the scanner, it makes a sound but that's all...the scanner is dead, even if I push any button...Also there isn't any window opened to prove the function of the scanner, only is shown in the scanner list, that's all.

After upgrading to lion 10.7 I can no longer use my canoscan 9950f, why?

After upgrading to lion 10.7 my canoscan 9950f scanner is no longer recognized. Have I lost thye use of this scanner by going to 10.7?

Not likely. Make sure the scanner is still available in System Preferences > Print & Scan. You might have to delete the old scanner and add it again if your computer cannot "find" it.
Before you do that, and while you are in Print & Scan, see if you can get it to scan by selecting the Scan tab.
In Lion, all scanning functions have been relegated to Preview, the Print & Scan preference pane, and Image Capture.

Why did my CanoScan 8800F stop scanning my 35mm slides into IPhoto 09 version 8.1.2 (424)? I did it exactly the same way as I had done about two hundred other slides.

I had been using my CanoScan 8800F unit to transfer 35mm slides into digital pictures within my IPhoto 09, Version 8.1.2 (424).
All of a sudden it stopped transferring photos even though I could hear it scanning. Any ideas "why/"

I guess I will wrap this up. I have abandoned iPhoto and viewing my Photo Streams using it and moved to Adobe products (Bridge + PS). So that's that.

How do I scan multiple pages into one document using the CanoScan LiDE 200?

How do I scan multiple pages into one document using the CanoScan LiDE 200?
I can't seem to find a way to get them to scan continuously, or a way to stitch them together afterwards.

Hi dagda24,
You can scan multiple pages into a single document with the scan to PDF option. Use the following steps to do so:
1. Open MP Navigator.
2. Click One Clcik.
3. Click Save to PC.
4. Change the File Type from PDF to PDF (multiple pages).
5. Make any other changes as needed, then click scan.

Canoscan 4400f not recognized by image capture

My imac with lion installed will not recognize my canoscan 4400f scanner. My white macbook is fine.
I have tried using Cannon software and it tells me no driver is found.

I had the same issue and when I searched for a solution, all I found was your question. So I messed around a bit and got it working.
I'm no computer engineer, so I did about 3 things at once rather than 1 at a time. Thus, I don't know if it was one step or a series of steps that got things working again so I'll tell you what I did and you can take it from there.
I had the iphone 4 connected with the cable. I had image capture running. It listed the proper number of images but I couldn't see the thumbnails and when I downloaded all, the newest ones didn't download.
In image capture, I went to the devices menu and clicked "browse devices" and unchecked iphone. Then I did a hard reset of the iphone by pressing the home and power button at the same time until the apple logo appeared. Image capture said no devices were connected. After the reboot (while still plugged into the USB), image capture showed my phone and all the thumbnails correctly.
I'm guessing it was just the reboot that did the trick.
good luck.

Image capture stucks when using Canon CanoScan LiDE60 scanner

Hi,
I tried to use Image capture to get an image from a book. I chose the following options :
600 dpi
Text
Save in : Desktop
File type : PNG
I started the scan, it scanned. But instead of putting a file on the Desktop and show it with the Preview application, it stucks there indefinitely. I have to close it down, but afterwards, the scanner does not scan anymore. It only works again by restarting the system.
Can someone have a clue of what's going on?
Thanks,

Hi there,
The CanoScan toolbox application lets you set which application you use to scan a document and where to save a scanned document. If you haven't configured this, it will be impacting the operation of the scanner. Open the application and I would suggest you set Preview to be your scanning application instead of Image Capture. If you want to save to the desktop this is where you can set this also.

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.

Getting Canon CanoScan Lide 20 to work with 10.4.10 and 10.4.11

When I upgraded to the latest version of Tiger 10.4.10 and .11 ... My Canon Lide 20 which had been working perfectly for years just stopped working. I tried to download the latest driver from canon but kept getting errors. After several different attempts I found this posting on version tracker did what it said and it worked!

For Macintosh OSX users (including intel Macintosh computers) who have problems installing Canon scanner software, including older models. Please try the following steps to successfully install your scanner driver software:
Short Fix:
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."
Uninstalling I think made all the difference. I hadn't done that before. Thanks to Robert Loney for this. I was about to purchase VueScan which also worked... but he saved me $49 buckswhich is more than I paid for the Lide 20 5 years ago.
I also lost my external hard drivers when I upgraded to 10.4.10. never fixed that problem... just went and returned my Western digital Mybooks (both premium and pro additions) (I had been dealing with customer service and returning the ones they kept shipping me for months). I got a Maxtor 750 GB one from Circuit city and it has worked like a charm! I wonder if there was something I needed to uninstall to get that to work as well.
I hope this is helpful to everyone else out there.

To add to Ryan's posting, anyone in the UK/Europe may need to access the Canon US website (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDet ailTabAct&fcategoryid=351&modelid=6624) to obtain the latest version of the scangear driver 7.0.1.1X and Canoscan software 4.1.3.0. Judging by their file dates these versions appear to have been released in 2007. The Canon Europe site has the older version 7.0.1.0 of the driver.
The tips should may also apply to the LIDE 30 and N670 and other scanners which appear to use the same software.
On my system the permissions on the CFMsupport folder allowed update of the software without changes so you may also find that updating the drivers to these versions is sufficient, and you don't need to bother with the permissions changes.
I have experienced problems with the scan gear software not setting the folder to receive the images correctly. At one point in the scan process - after clicking the scan button - it offered an open file dialogue box rather than a choose folder dialogue. I found that if selected any file in the folder and clicked open the problem seemed to go away.

How do I install Canoscan film scanner on macbook using external disc drive?

How do I install a CanoScan film scanner using external disc drive ?

sorry, not being very clear. I have the scanner and am trying to instal the operating programme onto my new macbook. It was fine on my 6 year old one! I put the setup disc in the external drive. I can now get it to load 80% but it then stops. I have then tried to eject the disc - it won't let me as it says it is still setting up - but after 2 hours still says the same and clearly is doing nothing. I can't quit the setup programme - the only way I finally managed to quit was to to force quit the computer to shutdown and then when I start up again I can eject the disc.
Any idea how I make it load the 20% of the setup that it is currently refusing to do?
