Epson 2480 Scanner doesn't show up in File Import menu in PSE 6

Hi
I'm on:
Intel iMac
Mac OS X 10.5.8
I recently upgraded from PSE 4 to PSE 6 and everything is fine. It delivers everything I expected but for one little thing.
Il have been using my Epson 2480 scanner with PSE 4 for years both on G4 and Intel based Macs. I never had an issue. The driver used to be listed in the File>Import menu.
After installing PSE 6 I uninstalled the Epson driver and installed the updated version.
The Adobe authored TWAIN.plugin is correcty installed in the Adobe Photoshop Elements 6/Plug-Ins/ImportModules.
It still works in PSE 4.
Yet it isn’t listed as it should in PS6. Did I miss something?
TIA
Nick

Bingo!
I don’t repair permissions often. I probably should;)
I’ll check the Rosetta box when I need to scan stuff and I’ll let it unchecked the rest of the time. PSE 6 works perfectly well as it is.
BTW I read in the PS forum people say it was as shame to use a sophisticated soft like PS for such a trivial job as scanning. They suggested one could just use the scanner dedicated soft. I found the argument ludicrous. If I need to process the images with PSE it’s darn convenient to get them with PSE in the first place. Thanks to you I'll be able to do so.
Thanks for your help and patience, Barbara.
Regards.
Nick

  • PHotoshop CS4 - scanner doesn't show up in File - Import

    Hello,
    I have an Epson Perfection 4180 scanner, and Photoshop CS4 extended and a Mac OSX 10.6.3.  I installed photoshop but the scanner doesn't show up under the File>Import menu. Normally it be there, i'd click it, and it launches the scanner within photoshop.
    I found some info on google which suggested to look in a  folder on the installation DVD called "Goodies"
    In there is a folder called Optional "Plug-Ins"
    In there is a folder called "Import-Export"Where i found a file called TWAIN.plugin
    I put the file into Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plug-ins/Import-Export but it still doesn't appear in photoshop file > import.
    Any ideas on what i should do?
    Many thanks
    Rossella

    Use the stand-alone application.
    And/or do a Forum search for »CS4 scanner« – that should turn up a couple threads.

  • Older epson 1250 Scanner doesn't show in PSE 6 (mac)

    I have an epson 1250 several years old. It doesn't show in PSE6 for import. It does show in preview so I can scan that way. I recently dowloaded the latest driver for the 1250, didn't help.

    You don't ever open plugins. You just put them where they should be and access them through the program itself.
    Thanks that is good to know
    Epson's driver support for older scanners is very spotty. Did you try installing the older utility, as I suggested?
    That is a dead end - back to mac classic days. No I think I have the right driver. It works with the  mac preview app and if i open it from system preferences. But I use PSE 6 a lot and would like to be able to scan with it. I installed the rosetta software and restarted the computer. I guess it may be time to call it quits unless you have another idea? Thanks for trying.

  • My scanner doesn't show up in the"please select a device list" windows 7 - HP7300 all-in-one

    In acrobat X-my scanner doesn't show up in the "please select a device list" how do I get it to see my scanner? - windows 7 - HP 7300 all-in-one

    In case anyone else finds this thread I did end up getting mine to work (after abut 48 hours of pulling my hair out). The "solution" was simple in my case, but it might have been a coincidence. I turned the wireless off on my phone for a different reason - then I when I turned it back on the device instantly appeared in spotify-desktop! I had already factory reset my phone, so I know that establishing a connection to the wireless was not the problem in the first place. Also, I was able to play music on my phone, so I know that it was hooked up to the wireless (I turned off 3g just to be sure).
    But for some reason when I toggled the wireless off then on again - it worked. Go figure.

  • I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro.  Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File Import menu?

    I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro.  Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File>Import menu?

    There was no driver update available (it said my driver was up to date), so I just deleted the scanner and restarted the computer.  when it came up, the scanner had already been added again.  With great anticipation I tried to import from Photoshop...but no luck (scanner was not visible).  I finally ended up calling Epson (had great difficulty in locating a number for support) and they finally told me there is no driver update for OS X 10.10 and I should as a work around use "Image Capture" application.  I tried it, and it works quite well.

    Hi Martin
    Thanks, it worked!
    A note when uploading different files with "non-functional" extensions could have been nice there.

  • I Installed InDesign and it doesn't show up in my tools menu in Bridge

    I Installed InDesign and it doesn't show up in my tools menu in Bridge. I tried reinstalling the application as well as ran updatez for all my adobe products. Does anyone have any idea why it isn't there?

    I was wondering the same thing. Does it have something to do with not have the full CS3 Suite installed?

  • 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.

  • New scanner doesn't show up, old scanner still available

    Hi,
    I got a new Epson V700 to replace my Canon scanner.
    The V700 works fine using both the SilverFast software (Epson-SE vers. 6.6.2r5) and Image Capture.
    I am running Photoshop CS5 in 32 bit mode and the old scanner shows up in the drop down menu ->File ->Import 
    But the new scanner does not.
    Ideas anyone?
    Thanks,

    I would say that it's obvious you did not install the twain plug-in for the new scanner—if it came with one.
    But scanning from within Photoshop is the height of inefficiency.  You're not even using Photoshop to scan at all, Photoshop has no scanning capabilities at all, you're just tying up the Photoshop application to call upon the scanner's software to scan and then bring the scanned image into Photoshop.
    If you use SilverFast, or VueScan, or the scanner's stand-alone scanning software, you can continue to work in Photoshop while the scanning is going on in the background.

  • How do I get Photoshop CS6 to recognize the Epson Perfection Scanner 4990 so I can scan and import

    Clicking File > Import does not show the scanner.  I have downloaded the latest drivers for the scanner.  The OS is Windows 7 64 bit.

    Download the TWAIN plug-in from Adobe Exchange.

  • Finder doesn't show new folders/files

    I've just created some new folders and files using the "save as" dialog from within Photoshop CS 8.0. Irritatingly, they don't show up in Finder. I can find them using the File>Open dialog in PS, or using, for example, Transmit.
    This seems like a very basic function of Finder which is clearly BROKEN.
    Changing views/directories/windows etc in Finder doesn't help, nor does quitting PS.
    Any hints on how to remedy and/or report this to Apple would be welcome.
    Message was edited by: NancyN

    It finally occurred to me to relaunch Finder (duh!) and now it shows the new files/folders.

  • Safari doesn't show iweb audio files - help

    Hi
    Just created my first iWeb site and it has a page with 1 minute samples of music. I tested these with Firefox and Safari both before and after publishing to the web and all seemed OK. When I tried today, Safari doesn't display the files at all whereas Firefox works fine.
    Any clues?
    Thanks

    Thanks for quick feedback -
    Curiouser and curiouser ......
    I now find that the browsers on my iMac (Firefox and Safari) both show/play the audio samples on http://www.smoothnoodles.co.uk/smoothnoodles/Samples.html, whereas on my MacBook Pro, only Firefox does. Safari doesn't even display the files
    Is there some setting in Safari that determines whether certain file types are loaded/displayed? Both browsers are Safari 5.1.7 and OS is 10.6.8 on both machines.

  • System Tray Program doesn't show a form from the menu

    public SysTrayApp()
    ContextMenu TrayMenu = new ContextMenu();
    TrayMenu.MenuItems.Add("Exit", OnExit);
    TrayMenu.MenuItems.Add("Send Mail", SendMail);
    TrayMenu.MenuItems.Add("Add Exception", AddException);

    NewTimer.Elapsed += NewTimer_Elapsed;
    NewTimer.Start();
    void AddException(Object sender, EventArgs e)
    ExceptionList ExceptionForm = new ExceptionList();
    ExceptionForm.ShowDialog();
    This is the code I am trying to use to show a instance of the Exception form. My application is a system tray application, when right clicked it shows menu items, however clicking the add exception menu item doesn't show the form? I have also tried ExceptionForm.Show()
    to no avail. Any ideas?

    figured it out: ExceptionForm.Visible = true;
    Also I had a long running process on form load that took a while to execute before the form was shown.
