CS3 crashes on import from Mustek scanner

I just installed CS3 on Windows XP and am having trouble with my scanner. When I go to File->import I see the scanner listed. When I click on it Photoshop just quits, no dialog box, no nothing. I rebooted the machine, nothing else is running and still get the problem.
I still have Photoshop 7 installed on my machine and I can import with that which leads me to believe the scanner twain software is working properly. Could having this old version of PS still installed be the problem?
Thanks,
J Morris

Thanks again, Dave ... No, I'm not using Mac OS ... I'm running Vista.
Regarding your point #4 ... I didn't change any drivers, just the scanning utility software. For example, the Mustek scanner comes with its own scanning utility. That works fine. Other scanning utilities like
Scanitto and
FreeKapture also work fine (in Vista).
As previously mentioned, scanning in Adobe CS2 (with the exact same drivers) also worked.
The ONLY change is that I upgraded from CS2 to CS3.
I'm glad for you that your scanner works, but the only help that offers me is to know that scanning SHOULD be possible in CS3. The fact remains that my scanner, along with those belonging to others, do NOT work in CS3 ... And we're all (Windows and/or Mac users) experiencing the same issue.
I can't make it any clearer ... There is something different between CS2 and CS3 that is causing VERY similar issues for many OTHER users. Hence, it would be appreciated if Adobe could examine this issue further and provide a patch/solution to get things working again.

  • How do you get Photoshop Elements 9 to import from a scanner?

    How do you get Photoshop Elements 9 to import from a scanner?

    In Elements 9, you may need to copy the Adobe TWAIN driver, if your scanner requires it, from the optional plug-ins folder to the Import-Export folder in the main plug-ins folder.
    You will need to copy the plug-in Twain_32.8ba
    Copy from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Optional Plug-Ins\Import-Export
    Copy to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\en_US\Plug-Ins\Import-Export.
    N.B. on Windows 32 bit systems navigate to Program Files. Replace en_US with your own geographic location if necessary.
    On a Mac, go to Applications à Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 à Support Files à Optional Plug- Ins à ImportModules, and move the TWAIN.plugin from there into Applications à Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 à Support Files à Plug-Ins à Import Modules. For the App Store version, go to Applications and Right- click/Control-click Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Editor and choose Show Package Contents à Contents and move TWAIN.plugin from Optional Plug-ins à ImportModules to Plug-ins à ImportModules. N.B. If you see a message warning that plug-ins can't be modified. Click Authenticate and enter your Mac OS X account password -then move the plug-in.

  • IMovie'08 (7.1) Crashes during Import from Camera

    Well, it is hard to say simpler then the subject line of this posting... iMovie'08 (7.1) Crashes during Import from Camera (PANASONIC PV-GS500). I use 24GHz MacBook Pro with 4Gig of RAM. Importing to OWC 500Gig RAID drive, as well as to the internal 200Gig 7200 RPM drive. So it certainly looks like not because of hardware. I tried to remove DIVX and Pearl plugins from QT folder in Library as it was suggested in previous postings to no success. It seems like I am not the only one with this problem here. If iMovie cannot import from camera then what is it good for? By the way, the previous version of iMovie works fine importing etc. Did I just wasted $79.00? Anybody knows the solution? I hope somebody can help.

    FOUND FIX
    I found this fix in another thread post. iMovie 7 appears to be bugged, but you can import movies if you download iMovie6 HD. It's apparently free from apple for iLife 08 users.
    Here's the link so you can download it.
    http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/AppleSupport_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Mac_OSX/downloads/061-3532.20070807.nq3ER/iMovieHD6.dmg
    Hours spent trying all sorts and iMovie HD ... just seems to work. Someone suggested that I use an external HD to improve performance. Just make sure you don't use Fat32 because it bombs when the file size gets to 2GB lol. It's a limitation of the Fat32 format. Since you can't access NTFS directly, you're a bit stuffed if you want to use the external HD with you Mac and PC. Either format it for your mac or your pc.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 import from Epson Scanner?

    How can I get Photoshop Elements 8 to import from my Epson scanner?  On my previous computer, the scanner just showed up when I selected "Import" under File?  I've spent 2.0 hours with the supposed "tech support" in India and they had no idea.  I've been using Elements 4 on my iMac for years and it worked perfectly.  Help!
    I'm starting to learn that I just spent good money for Elements 8 for nothing.  It would appear that Epson has refused to make a TWAIN plugin for Photoshop Elements 8 so it will talk to the scanner and the program seems to be filled with bugs wshen used with Snow Leopard.  Anyone have any answers?

    There is a Photoshop Elements forum.

  • CS5 crash when importing from external library

    Hello.
    I am using Flash CS5 on Win7 64 bit. I have made a flash site. On this site I am trying to add a photo gallery. I bought a flash XML photogallery from Active Den. The gallery is working fine but to get this into my site I need to import the library items into my flash site fla file. What happens is this. I drag the main movie clip from the photo gallery fla onte the stage of my flash site fla. So far so good. When publishing it shows up but without some parts.
    When trying to import the missing items from the photo gallery fla to my flash site fla the program crashes. Done it a billion times now and allways the same result. All but the main movie clip causes the program to crash on importing/dragging to stage.
    Installed the latest updates but no luck.
    Please help!!!!
    Sincerely
    Ronny

    No I tried both neither seems to be working on my system. I used Duplin version 2.5 because 2.6 requires Leopard and I am running tiger.
    this is a mess, and I haven't done anything but import the files, I don't want to start setting up play list until I can figure out one of two things.
    Why it did it in the first place, I could delete everything and reimport.
    Or how to clean it up with doing it one track at a time.

  • BI Admin Tool crashes when importing from Essbase

    Hi folks,
    I'm trying to import an Essbase cube into my OBIEE RPD and it is causing the Admin Tool to crash with a generic Windows error msg that "BI Admin Tool has stopped working and Windows is looking for a solution"..
    I'm using OBIEE 10.3.1.4 with all components, including BI Server installed on my local machine which is Windows 7 32-bit. The Essbase server is on a different machine. The RPD is working fine for several other data sources, and crashes only when I try to import from Essbase. The Essbase server is also working fine. The crash happens regardless of whether I'm in online or offline mode. I even tried to create a new RPD in case the other one was corrupted, but even the new one crashes.
    I have Essbase client installed on the same machine as BI Server and my environment variables seem fine. All ports on the Essbase server machine are open and I can ping it from the BI Server machine, so it is not a network issue. I know this version of OBI is not officially supported on Windows 7, but it's working fine in all other respects. Has anyone had a similar problem in the past?
    Appreciate any advise.
    thanks,
    Axe

    I wonder if cube import only works when using a 32-bit Essbase client?

  • Premiere Elements 11 crashes when importing from a DVD

    Hi, I'm having trouble with my Adobe Premiere Elements 11. 
    I am trying to get footage off a set of DVDs I shot a while back (shot on a DVD cam, I forget what  the model is cuz it wasnt mine)  Anyway,  Everything went fine for the 1st 3 DVDs,  but when I got to the 4th, when I went to "get media" it does nothing for awhile, then if you try to click it freezes and the dialog box pops up saying the program is not responding and closes. 
    Also,  after that happened,  it does the same thing with the other DVDs when I go back to try them.  I can play it via my DVD player software, but Adobe crashes when I try to get the media.
    Also, after this error in adobe, my DVD drive locks and I can't eject via the manural button, and when i right click on the drive in My Computer hit eject, it says "error ejecting DVD-RW Drive" 
    I have to eaither log off/restart  or go into the properties and disable the drive and reenable to be able to eject the DVD.
    I really don't understand whats going on, and why its doing this.  Nothing changed on my computer inbetween ripping the DVD media, as I was doing them all back to back.  I would import from DVD, then export as WMV so I could send the footage to someone (the .VOB files wouldn't work for this and my file converters where not working right)
    I have done an uninstall and reinstall (with a registry clean in between) and even a system restore to a previous point to resolve another issue I was having. (Could not make new folders)
    But Adobe/DVD drive  is still having this issue.
    I'm running on an HP Pavilion dm4-1165dx Laptop with Win 7 64bit btw.  I can get exact specs later if its nessesary.   But it was working just fine until I got to the last DVD so IDK why it would just quit on me like this.

    John T.,
    You are correct. I probably was not clear in my question.
    If the miniDVD's were produced correctly, and all discs were finalized, first doing a Copy of those miniDVD discs to the HDD, would be my first step.
    While one can Import directly from DVD's, there are a couple of possible issues:
    The process will be much slower, than Importing from Copies on the HDD, especially an internal HDD.
    One will not have to have the particular miniDVD's inserted into the multi-drive (not possible with most computers and only one multi-drive.
    Good luck to the OP,

  • Iphoto crashes when importing from SD card

    I found similar discussions but no solution.
    I am using snow leopard with Iphoto. I never had any problems but now I am not able to import pictures into the library. Iphoto crashes whenever I am trying to import from an SD card. I need to restart the computer to be able to use Iphoto again. Is there a limit of the library size? I read something about 250000 pictures but I am far away from this number. What might be the problem?

  • Mail 2 crashes while importing from Entourage X

    Hello all:
    I am trying to move over from Entourage X to Mail/Address Book/iCal under Tiger. However, when I try to run the import from Entourage feature in Mail, I am unable to import my mail files from Entourage.
    Specifically, the problem I'm having is that Mail crashes mid-way through the import process. When I restart Mail, it attempts to re-start the import process but crashes again. If I hit "Cancel" I can see part of my folder structure under the "Import" folder, but no mail messages in it.
    One possibility is that my Mail database in Entourage is very large, with thousands of mail messages and a fairly complicated folder structure. Based on the progress bar, I estimate a total import would take about an hour or so. The crash appears to happen 10-15 minutes into the import process.
    Does anyone have any suggestions how I might be able to get around this? I would very much like to switch over to Mail - I assume that it is a better application than Entourage.
    Thanks,
    Sohil

    Let’s fix the second problem first. Step 4 in the procedure below will cause Mail to treat everything still on the server as if new and try to download it again. Hence, before proceeding, you my want to delete from the server any messages you don’t want to be downloaded again.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see an Envelope Index-journal file there, delete it as well.
    4. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/. Locate one or two files named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded and move them to the Trash.
    5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index -- Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder.

  • Opened Trial, keeps crashing on import from camera of AVCHD

    Hi
    I have a MBP 15" 2.66ghz running 10.6.8 with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 33M graphics card (also has the Intel HD Graphics card). I want to import .mts files from a Panasonic GH2 of interviews and location shots.
    I'm basically following a Larry Jordan video: where he opens FCPX, creates an event and imports from camera. He's importing AVCHD clips and I watch as he chooses a folder which comtains ONE folder, titled 'Private'. He clicks on Private, clips appear and he chooses options and clicks import.
    I did the exact same thing. Of course, AVCHD folders normally contain 3 folders one of which is named 'Private', but since he choose it I did too. There were 4 clips I selected to import without choosing Optimizing or any of the options on the dropdown. I quickly saw no progress was being made and within seconds the ball started spinning and I had to force close.
    So I tried with one file--crashed. Tried choosing the folder with 3 folders including Private and copying one file--crashed. Finder too became dysfunctional and I had to force shutdown and restart several times.
    Finally, when I started up FCPX wouldn't open. I had wanted to try transcoding one file. While I wait to give it a whirl:
    Is it the .mts files?
    Is it my graphics card or processor?
    I checked FCPX Prefs but didn't see an indicator of ram being used, I have 8gb and would allocate all if helpful. Is it likely to transcode with ease?
    ps I also have FCS and Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.0.0.

    Yep, thx, excellent idea. In sys prefs one can do that--done.
    I also did some testing to replicate problem: new user, safe mode. Crashes kept occurring.
    WHAT WORKED and has made a demonstrable difference: Unchecking background rendering in prefs and pausing rendering in that little pop-up window that shows background activities while importing.
    Immediately, I could import more files, tho so far I've only tried one at a time. Today I will try multiple file imports at same time.
    I wonder what else I can do to limit FCPX ******* around while I import?
    STILL CAN"T IMPORT long files, 24-min or 30-min files, without it crashing. Tho I come awfully close, 80%+, even 90%+ before stopping. Usually, it says 'import failed" and "try re-importing' and when I do that it crashes. I will try again, if still no success I will consider importing sections of one file. Some interviews are 1 hour+.
    WILL EVENT SIZE cause crashes as my ability to import grows. That's what happens with Premiere Pro.
    RESTABILIZING FINDER (Can a brother get a hand): Part of the problem post crash is that Finder is affected: Often I have to force shutdowns, attached drives can't be detached, even "Finder not responding". If my FCPX prefs get corrupted the same could happen to some Finder prefs.
    FINDER HELP: After what I described, what prefs could I trash or other actions take to help Finder?
    Thanks again for your help, Tom!! All the best!

  • PSE6 Bridge CS3 - can I import from iPhoto

    I have the new PSE6 (love it) and Bridge CS3 (ambivalent) and iPhoto (easy to use) on the same imac 24. I have imported from my reader into iPhoto - over 2000 pics - but want the functionality of PSE6 to manipulate images.
    Can it be done? I really do not want to duplicate 2000 pics on my hard drive. The only way I have been able to do individuals is from the base directory, with no ability to browse properly. It IS frustrating, and probably only needs a little tweek.
    I use a Canon 40d and have tried the sRAW concept, with crap results
    Cheers, George Cooper

    George,
    That can't be done.
    If you do a forum search on
    iPhoto you will find existing threads where this has been discussed before, for instance:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b4aff8/1
    You don't
    "import" images
    "into" Bridge. You just browse and open them wherever they reside in the Finder.
    iPhoto, on the other hand, creates a virtual library and hides your images from access through the Finder... and from Bridge.
    Good luck with Elements 6. I just requested a refund for a copy I had bought for a laptop. First time I have ever returned an Adobe product, and I've been an Adobe customer for well over 20 years.
    I guess if you've never used the full Photoshop, you won't know what you're missing. I found Elements overwhelmingly, oppressively limited. Even ACR is bestially crippled when hosted by Elements, even though it is the same plug-in used by the full version of Photoshop.
    The
    free GIMP is far, far superior to Elements.
    Oh well... I hated iPhoto too. :/

  • IPhoto library - Events - pics imported from camera, scanner and internet - it doesn't seem to matter - for a while they show OK but then when I go into the event and start scrolling some--but not all--pics disappear w/ ? small and expanded.

    iPhoto Library - events - pics imported to library from camera, scanner and internet.  Some disappear--sometimes when scrolling and other times on their own.  Some disappear when in general event and some when I try to expand the picture.  If when expanding the small pic remains.  It's really annoying.

    Are you running a "referenced" or "managed" library?
    Give this a try:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
    2 -  select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox  "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
    4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    5 - in the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Crash when Importing from Canon ZR800

    I just bought a Canon ZR800 MiniDV Camcorder. When I import into iMovie 08 it consistently causes iMovie to crash. I can then start the import from the point of the crash and it will proceed for a while and then crash again. Any suggestions?

    I just got a ZR800 today to use to import some tapes and I'm seeing similar issues on. The only way I can capture from the camera is to disconnect any firewire drives connected to the machine. I've tried on two different machines (one with 10.4 and one with 10.5), but using the same firewire external (LaCie D2 triple interface). Doesn't matter if the drive is plugged in via Firewire 400 or Firewire 800. Un-plug the drive and everything's fine.
    I'll try with another external drive once I've finished importing the video I need to get off the camera. I suspect, from other reports on the Net and here, that the behaviour will be the same with other firewire drives. I'll also give a USB drive a try.

  • FCP 7.01 crashes when importing from a DSR 11 tape deck.

    I am trying to import to FCP 7.01 some DV Pal footage from the DSR 11 tape deck. When I play the film it shows in the viewer fine, but if I then click the capture now button it crashes FCP. I have rebooted several times and it has happened about ten times consecutively. Any ideas why? I've been capturing using cards since getting the new system and not needed to do this before, but need to import a dvcam tape and can't do it.

    deck is connected via a firewire cable, device control is set to Firewire Pal, capture input DV Pal 48k Anamorphic, 5TB of space on scratch disk available. This is a new system and I have output to the deck fine for a previous job, but now have this issue with importing from the same deck. Crashes FCP every time.
