Cant get Canon Lide 50 Scanner Driver to install

Am trying to connect my new imac with OS X 4.2.8 with a Canon scanner which had previously worked well on a windows pc. Have downloaded softwear from Canon but it will not open/run and I get an error message 10660. Is there a compatability issue here

Thanks for your suggestion re Stuffit. Have used this and - yes the files were compressed - did not appreciate Tiger did not come with an expander so had to download. In any even unfortunately despite all this scanner still not working. When trying to open driver am told there is no file associated with it and scanner is not responding. Canon tool box will fire up but will not scan and scanner is not starting up when connected to usb although mac recognises it is plugged in. So the problem seems to be that the driver is installed but it does not know what it is there for and the scanner does not have a driver associated - any thoughts much appreciated

  • Cannot get Canon LIDE 220 Scanner to work with Acrobat XI Pro, Acrobat will not let scanner add pages to existing PDFs

    Hi
    I have recently purchased a Canon Scanner LIDE 220 for my new PC which has Windows 8.1 64-bit and ADOBE ACROBAT XI Professional.
    I NEED to be able to open PDF documents and add pages by using the scanner, but the scanner is not being accepted by ACROBAT. I get messages that there is no scanner connected or no driver installed. I have uploaded Canon's latest drivers for the scanner but when I try to get Acrobat to accept the scanner it says the scanner will not accept presets.
    I need some help!!
    Thanks
    Andy White

    Andy,
    Some scanners do not support presets, so when you choose an unsupported scanner from the pop-up menu, a dialog stating "This scanner does not support presets" appears. Have you tried scanning using Custom Scan through File > Create PDF from Scanner > Custom Scan..?
    Thanks

  • Can't get Canon Lide Scanner to work in PSE 10

    I just belatedly upgraded to Snow Leopard... and got my PSE 6 to run without freezing by using a suggestion posted by Barbara B. ("Photoshop Elements for Snow Leopard") - deleting the Adobe Twain Driver.  My Canon Lide 80 scanner always worked smoothly in PSE 6 in Snow Leopard, but PSE 6 was crashing prior to removing the Adobe Twain plug-in.  Since I had not upgraded PSE in a while, I decided to download the trial of PSE 10 and put it through its paces before I purchased. 
    The first thing that I did was move the driver, ScanGear CS 7.2X into the import module as I had done in previous versions of PSE.  The next thing that I did was make sure that Rosetta was loaded onto my operating system.  I believe that with this new system Rosetta is automatically employed without having to put a check in the box as was with the case in Leopard, because there is no box to check, and the Apple care tech told me that it would run as needed.  When I boot up PSE 10, I receive the message, "One or more plug-ins is currently not available on your system...", the system info states that it failed to load and the ScanGear CS 7.2X plug-in does not show up as a choice for inporting. 
    This is a great scanner, so I am unwilling to dump it, PSE 6 works if worse comes to worse, but I would like to upgrade to PSE 10.  I am currently running on OS X 10.6.8.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Barbara B. wrote:
    You must go into Applications>PSE  10>optional plug-ins>ImportModules, and move the TWAIN plugin into Plug-ins>Import Modules before you can scan with any scanner. However, if you must have rosetta to scan, you will not be able to scan into PSE 8,9, or 10, no matter whether Rosetta is installed on your mac or not. There is no longer any support for Rosetta in PSE since PSE 8 came out. In that case, you can either use Scan Gear or get a newer scanner, if there's no intel-native plugin on canon's download page for your model.
    Thank you for answering me so quickly, Barbara B.
    It is interesting to note that there is no longer any support for Rosetta in PSE since PSE 8.  That really explains the problem.  The optics of my scanner are really good and the scanner really does work well in the "right' software.  
    I did as you instructed: moved the TWAIN plugin from Optional plug-in>ImportModules to Plug-ins>ImportModules, and restarted the computer.  Then I rebooted PSE 10.  The TWAIN import did not load... does not even show up in as there but unloaded. 
    Any ideas?  Could this be because I am using a trial version?

  • No driver for Canon Lide 80 scanner?

    I recently bought a Mac Mini with Lion installed to replace my old Windows PC and upgraded my late 2009 Imac to Lion to be able to use iCloud between my UK base and my second home in France. Everything went well until I realised that neither my Canon Lide 80 scanner or my Canoscan 4400F wwould work with Lion. I am waiting for a responsse from Canon but, meanwhile, any ideas for a workaround? My trusty old HP 920C printer is recognised as a generic printer and works fine but, it seems, there are no generic scanner drivers.

    Thank you John. Vuescan worked for my Canoscan 4400F but, in fact, led me back to Canon support where the driver and toolbox, formerly unavailable, had been updated to my scanner. A very satisfying solution.

  • LiDE 200 "scanner driver is not installed" error

    I am struggling on a MacBook Pro to restore functionality of a Canon LiDE 200 scanner after it mysteriously began returning the error message:
    The scanner driver supported by this software is not installed. Install again and then retry.
    The error first appeared under 10.5.8. Troubleshooting that I've attempted:
    Downloading new versions of driver (1482) and MP Navigator EX (2.04) from Canon's website
    Downloading Apple's Canon printer drivers version 2.3
    Logging in as a "test user" and attempting to scan through the Canon application as well as Image Capture.
    No luck
    I then loaded that software onto a different laptop computer, which is running 10.6.3. The scanner works fine.
    So I returned to the MacBook Pro and updated it with 10.6.3 (using a simple update to the software, rather than remove and replace etc), then loaded all the Canon software once again. Still getting the same error.
    Next I opened the Canon application on my second laptop and inspected the processes in Activity Monitor to find every active file, which I then carefully deleted from the MacBook Pro. I also deleted all preferences that I could find. Then, again, I re-loaded the Canon and Apple software and updates. Still getting the error message.
    Stumped.

    Hello Doug,
    I also have a LiDE200 and based on your recent findings I have been checking my user Library for files relating to the scanner, however there does not appear to be anything.
    Under the root Library there is the Image Capture folder and inside is the Devices folder which has the Canon IJScanner plugin. This is the ICA plugin which is used by Image Capture and Preview. Also inside the Image Capture folder is the TWAIN Data Sources folder, which houses the LiDE200.ds file that is used by TWAIN applications, such as MP Navigator.
    These are the two scanner driver resources and with their location they are available to all users. So with only the admin user account having the error there must be something within the admin library but I haven't been able to find what that could be.
    Have you ever had a different model of Canon scanner or even another brand of scanner previously? I know that with a previous Canon scanner that used the CanoScan application, there was a plugin for responding to the buttons being pressed on the scanner. If this application and associated files have been brought across to the new install with you user library, then this may be causing the conflict.
    I'll keep poking around today and reply with more if I find anything.

  • Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize Canon Lide 200 Scanner

    My recently installed Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize my  Canon Lide 200 scanner even though Adobe Photoshop CS2 does.  I don't know what the problem is and how to solve it.

    Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 was recently installed on new Vista 64bit computer and functions with all programs and even prints to my Dell 1600n printer, but when I try to scan from the printer, it causes this error message and shuts Acrobat down:
    "ADOBE ACROBAT HAS STOPED WORKING A Problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    I have lived with this since I bought the computer a month ago. Still no solution from Adobe and no response to an email that I sent to adobe support.

  • Cant get ical to sync with iphone after installing OSX

    cant get ical to sync with iphone after installing OSX

    I too was a mobileme user and have just migrated to iCloud on mackbook pro w/OS 10.7.4. Transition caused my sent mailboxes to rearrange themselves so that I have no comprehensive 'sent' mailbox as I did previously and the view on both incoming and outgoing mailboxes keeps rearranging itself no matter how many times I set preferences. One result is that search function no longer works.  Is anyone else having problems like this?  All was fine for a week after transition but after having an evening when my password was repeatedly rejected I had to log in and out of iCloud (as directed by tech support) and w/in an hour or so the mailbox problem began.

  • 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.

  • Canon LIDE 20 scanner - halfway through scan, crashes

    Using Leopard clean install, the scanner was working through the past week.
    Now, when I get about half way through the scan, it gives this message:
    Cannot communicate with scanner
    Cable may be disconnected
    Check Status
    Scanner driver will be closed
    I tried everything. Rebooting. Disconnecting and reconnecting cables. Reinstalling Canon driver software.
    The point is, the software works but cuts of at the 39% of the scan.
    Any ideas?
    I already had to buy a new laserprinter, because the old one (HP Laserjet 1000 didn't work under Leopard, when it worked under Tiger). Now, I am not relishing the idea of getting a new scanner just to use Leopard.

    I got the following answer from other threads, and Canon's website. Essentially, I have to wait till Canon comes out with a new driver. Which is a pain since I use the scanner for my business work. It is really funny how, during this disaster period of installing Leopard, my old Windows XP computer has become a safe haven of "just working". Windows XP -- it just works. No longer can Apple lay claim to that phrase.
    FAQs
    Do I need to update my drivers to support Mac OS X v.10.5 (Leopard)?
    Canon's answer:
    Only the following scanner models are supported in Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard):
    4400F, 8400F, 8600F, 8800F, 9950F, LiDE 25, LiDE 35, LiDE 60, LiDE 70, LiDE 90, LiDE 500F, LiDE 600F
    The current Mac OS X driver download for the above models will function in Mac OS X v.10.5. However, it is recommended that you check our Download Library periodically for updated drivers.

  • Canon Lide 60 Scanner does not work on Mountain Lion

    Hi! Is anybody out there who would know how my good old Canon Lide 60 would work with OSX 10.8? Canon says Mountain Lion ist not supported on this device. Anyone an idea what to do without buying a new one? Thank you!

    I also was looking for a working driver for ML 10.8
    i bought a new canon scanner Lide 110 it's working perfect.
    I tried my old scanner( Canon Lide 60) or it should work with this installed canon driver
    i'am surprised my old scanner, lide 60  is working min Ml 10.8.4
    photoloader does not recognise it. But Vuescan does. i use Vuescan 9.2.21
    so the Lide 110 software works on 10.8 en higher for the Lide 60

  • Canon LiDE 50 alternative driver

    Hello, I have a Canoscan LiDE 50, and I realized that I can't use the scanner on Snow leopard because Canon did not update the driver. Even the VueScan application requires LiDE 50 drivers to be installed first. Now, I have read that someone wrote a modified LiDE 60 driver that can be applied on this model as well to be used on 64 bit Windows 7.
    Is there a similar modified driver for Snow leopard or a way to install drivers of a newer model?
    I really don't want to buy a new scanner just because Canon stopped working on a software update.
    Thanks!

  • My Canon Pixma MX420 scanner driver is not conpatible with Windows 8 64 bit.

    I have tried all the drivers.  All I get is a window stating Cannot start MP Navigator EX.  Everything works except the scanner.  It just disappeared.  Are there any compatible drivers that actually work for my Windows 8 64bit?

    Hi rlhag,
    This means that the scanner driver was not installed correctly.  What we should do is try to reinstall the drivers while in Selective Startup to see if this helps.  What this will do is disable all background programs and should allow the scanner to install correctly.  Please perform the following:
     1.  Press the ‘Windows + R’ key on the keyboard. In the Run Windows’s ‘Open box:' type ’msconfig’ (Without the quotation marks) and click ‘OK’.
     2.  Click on Selective Startup, then uncheck the two boxes.
     3.  Click Apply, then OK.
     4.  Confirm the reboot.
    We can then perform the reinstall.  To do this, please follow these steps:
     1.  Put the PIXMA MX420's CDROM in the CDROM drive.  If the welcome screen appears, exit it. 
     2.  Click on Start and then Run.  If Run is not in your Start menu, please follow these steps to add it:
           2-1.  Click Start.
           2-2.  Right click the Start menu and left click on Properties.
           2-3.  Click on the Customize button next to 'Start Menu'.
           2-4.  In the Customize Start Menu window, place a checkmark next to 'Run Command'.
           2-5.  Click OK in the Customize Start Menu window.
           2-6.  Click OK in the Properties window.
     3.  Click Browse.  In the browse window, on the left hand side in the row of big icons, click on My Computer. 
     4.  In the window to the right, double click the CANON_IJ CDROM. 
     5.  Double click the folder named WIN.
     6.  Double click the folder named Driver.
     7.  Double click the folder named DrvSetup.
     8.  Double click the file named DELDRV64.  In the Run box click ok.  Follow the on-screen prompts to remove the driver.
    Once complete, please follow these steps:
     1.  Click on Start and then Run.
     2.  In the window to the right, double click the CANON_IJ CDROM. 
     3.  Double click the folder named WIN.
     4.  Double click the folder named Driver.
     5.  Double click the folder named LAN.
     6.  Double click the file named CNMNPU.exe.
     7.  In the Run box click ok.
     8.  Follow the prompts to uninstall.
     9.  Once complete, restart the computer.
    To install the unit for use over your network wirelessly, please follow these steps when the computer restarts:
     1.  Press the <Setup> button.
     2.  Use the up or down button to select Yes for Wireless LAN activate and press <OK>.  Once enabled, the Wi-Fi lamp lights blue.
     3.  Select Easy setup and press <OK>.
     4.  Select your access point name and press <OK>.
     5.  Enter your WEP key and press <OK>.  Please verify the WEP, as it is case sensitive and if entered incorrectly, will cause the printer and router to not communicate.  To switch between letters and numbers, press the * key.
     6.  Press <OK> on the confirmation screen.  The PIXMA MX420 will search for the access point.
     7.  When found, press <OK> on the Connected to the access point screen.
     8.  Take out and then reinsert the CDROM that came with the PIXMA MX420.  The setup program will start automatically.
     9.  If the Autoplay screen appears, click Run and then Continue.
    10.  Click on Easy Install.
    11.  When the Easy Install screen appears, click Install and then "Use the printer with wireless LAN connection" and follow the prompts to complete the installation.
    After it is installed, we need to return to Normal Startup.  To do this, press the ‘Windows + R’ key on the keyboard. In the Run Windows’s ‘Open box:' type ’msconfig’ (Without the quotation marks) and click ‘OK’.  Click Normal Startup and then try to use the printer.

  • Hp pavilion g6 1b60us, cant get the WIFI, Ethernet, ex, drivers to install

    I have a hp pavilion g6 1b60us
    And I reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium (64 Bit) with a fresh install of Windows 7 ultimate (64 Bit)
    removing the recovery partitions too.
    Now i cant get the drivers for the wifi and Ethernet to install...the ones i get from HP driver support install up to the point of right after the extraction,
    it opens the installer and then a short glimpse of CMD box then the installer just poofs away.
    I tried reinstalling windows and tried using other versions of the drivers, nothing worked all the same thing.
    so there's no way for me to get online from that laptop and let it grab it's own drivers
    i need help on getting the wifi or Ethernet to work
    i herd there might be a chip-set that i might need that's got all the drivers in it? O.o

    You're very welcome.
    Sure you can do that, or copy them to a usb flash drive...
    First you have to go to the AMD website and download the chipset driver. First file listed.
    Install this driver first and reboot. This will install the SM Bus controller.
    http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/raid_windows.aspx#2
    Then you can install these driver in whatever order you wish.

    You probably need the optional Twain plugin included in this download.
