Does Lion not work with Canon scanners?

I have an old Canoscan N1240U. Although the Canon website offers software downloads for this under Mac OS X they are for Power PC. Is there anything else I can do?

I have a relatively new Mac Mini running Lion and a Cannon LIDE700F. I have found that if the Mac goes to sleep, Image Capture will give an error when I try to scan.  The only fix I could come up with was to unplug and replug the scanner USB connector.  I was initially convinced that this was a Cannon driver issue, but I have discovered that if I open Adobe Photoshop Elements and ask it to scan an image from the Cannon scanner, it will do so (evidently resetting the USB port).  After that I can open Image Capture and the scanner works as if I had unplugged and replugged the USB connector.  So I now believe that it is an Apple issue with Image Capture.
Hope this helps somebody.

  • Does Lion OS work with Quickbooks 2009?

    Does Lion OS work with QuickBooks 2009?

    Intuit says they won't support it (nor QB 2010), that it has problems under Lion, and that you need to upgrade to QB 2011 r20 or QB 2012.

  • How does syncing Notes work with Mountain Lion ?

    How does syncing Notes with Mountain Lion?

    Notes are synched via IMAP.  IMAP is a protocol most frequently used by email.
    So if you have an iCloud account and have set up a @me.com email address, that's what is used to sync.  For Gmail, that can be used as well, though Gmail's IMAP support has to be enabled on their site and their implementation is very nonstandard and can be problematic.  Best is to sync notes via iCloud.

  • Image Capture not working with Canon LiDE 500F

    Image Capture version 6.0.424 and CanoScan LiDE 500F 11.2.5.0 does not work properly.
    Regardless the resolution, the resulted file has a very small size.
    As a test I scanned a 9x20cm document at different resolutions and for all resulted files 'Get Info' reported small dimensions: 69x147 pixels. It is interesting that the size of the file varies with resolution, but when opened in Preview or Acrobat Reader, the small size is used.
    As for other reports, CanoScan Toolbox works properly.

    Hello Liviu,
    There has been a couple of posts regarding the same issue with Image Capture. Have a look at this one for example.
    http://discussions.apple.com/watches!add.jspa?forumID=1344&threadID=2272250
    As I stated in this thread, I do not have this problem with Image Capture and my LiDE 200 or my MP980 AIO. So there must be something with the drivers used by these older model of Canon scanners when using Image Capture.
    I haven't seen anyone provide a solution as yet so you may need to escalate this to Canon if you have a need to use Image Capture.

  • Mac will not work with Canon EOS cameras

    My imac OS X 10.6 is not working well with my Canon EOS 5d Mark II camera on the tethered mode. The camera works well with other Mac computers, and I have spent hours with Canon tech help. It now seems that the issue may be with the computer. The EOS Utility is working, everything has been updated, all Canon checkpoints look good, but when I use the camera, the image does not transfer. And then everything gets locked into a loop and I have to crash the camera and force quit the program. Is there something in the computer that may be blocking the transfers? any ideas where to look? Canon has done everything on the camera side, but I don't know where to begin with the computer.

    OH, ok. So the issue is with transferring the image from the camera to the computer. Since you said you have done everything possible with canon, the camera's firmware is completely up to date, you have the correct software installed. Since you say no cameras work with this computer I am inclined to say the problem is from the computer, which is why the problem exists. I'd do an apple hardware test and see if anything turns up. Clean install of the canon software would also be a good idea.

  • Why does Thunderbird not work with Windows 8.1

    I have used thunderbird now for about 6 years, for all my website accounts. During that time I have had very few problems, about 9 months ago I started using Windows 8, I transferred all my accounts from my old machines running on XP pro to new machines running Win 8 and thunderbird ran ok. I have auto updates running so I am assuming both thunderbird and windows are updating whenever! About 4 weeks ago I started experiencing major problems with Thunderbird, it would start then freeze, then it would start again then freeze, if I ran it in safe mode it would work for a while. Now it opens and freezes, the message at the top just says ' Thunderbird is not responding'. Even in safe mode now it will not work! I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, I have even tried installing an earlier version of Thunderbird, I Have deleted the profile and forced it to produce a new one, I have spent hours trawling different sites trying to find an answer, and you know what, the only conclusion I could come to was, nobody seems to care whether this problem is solved or not, so reluctantly I have had to give up and I moved all my accounts to Outlook, which works perfectly with Windows 8.1. I think that should have been the answer, right from the start of the problem!

    The point is, it shouldn't matter if you're using McAffee or Norton or not using any anti-virus at all. Thunderbird works on XP. Thunderbird works on Vista. Thunderbird works on 7. But despite what the FAQ says, Thunderbird does _NOT_ work on Windows 8. This is a problem that many people are having and Mozilla _OUGHT_ to be able to fix it.
    I hate to bitch because Thunderbird is free and it's a damned good program. But this damned good program that worked through three earlier iterations of MicroSoft operating systems is unusable on 8.1. Anybody who has any knowledge of user experience can tell you that a program becoming unresponsive at random for anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes is simply not acceptable.
    This problem has been known for quite some time now. Is anybody in Mozilla support even looking at it?

  • Does my ipad2 work with Canon MG4150

    Hi, just brought an IPad 2 and not sure if it connects/how to connect to my Canon MG4150 printer. Anyone know how?

    See requirements for AirPrint and printers that support AirPrint here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    If your printer supports AirPrint but does not work then:
    Your printer might need a firmware update
    Your printer must be on the same WiFi network
    Your router must support Bonjour (Zero-configuration networking).
    Troubleshooting:
    Turn Off iPad, WiFi router (remove from power), and Printer (remove from power).
    Turn on WiFi router
    Wait 30 seconds
    Turn on printer
    Wait 30 seconds
    Turn on iPad
    Try to print.

  • Camera Connection Kit Not Working with Canon Rebel

    Using the connection and the Canon Rebel SRLD, I was not able to transfer pictures to the iPad.
    I was able to transfer pictures using the memory card.
    Not able to transfer pictures from the 3G iPhone.
    Should I take the connection kit, the camera, and the iPad to an Apple store to see why it's not working, or does anyone have any solutions.
    Thanks,

    The cameras connection kit does not support the iPhone 3G.

    It does however supports both the iPhone 3GS and 4.

    AirPrint?
    Have you tried the troubleshooting steps from the AirPrint Knowledgebase page:
    If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"
    Verify that the printer:
    Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
    Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
    Has the latest firmware version installed.
    Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
    Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
    If necessary, consult the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for help with the above steps.Notes:
    AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
    Some Wi-Fi AirPrint printers can take several minutes to join a Wi-Fi network after being turned on. Ensure that the AirPrint printer is connected to the Wi-Fi network before attempting to print.
