Epson 810 printer unable to view photos on iMac

I recently purchased an Epson Artisan 810 and connected it wirelessly. The printer connects to the iMac OS X 10.5.8 and is able to print, but it is unable to transfer pictures from my memory card to my mac. My memory card is a Memory Stick Pro Duo, 2 GB, the camera is a Sony Cyber-shot. The info from Epson is that a Memory Card icon should show on my desktop,it does not. And according to Epson, since I can see the pics on the Epson screen, I should be able to see them on my Mac. After spending over 45 minutes with an 2 Epson techs, they gave up and said the problem is with my iMac and that I had to call Apple because it is their problem. I did call Apple tech support, but their opionion is that it is an Epson problem, not an apple problem. I don't know whose problem it is except mine, but my cheap old HP never had a problem allowing me to see my pics on my iMac. I have tried installing and uninstalling both wireless and usb drivers, but neither allows a working Memory Icon on the desktop nor any way to view the photos. Sorry for the length of this request. Any help would be appreciated.

There was another thread on this very same problem some time back; from what I remember, it was not resolved. For one thing, it could very well have something to do with the fact that you have it connected wirelessly; have you tried connecting the printer with a USB cable to see if it works then?
If you are not wanting to print the pics while the card is inserted in the printer, may I suggest what would be a much easier and simpler solution: download the pictures to your Mac and then control the pictures (and the printer) from there. You could use a USB card reader (very inexpensive), insert it and download them directly - why go through another device.

  • Unable to view photos received via e-mail or texting

    Hi,
    I have been unable to view photos that I received via a text message. I do receive the yellow bubble alert telling me to download.  After I hit the download button, it just hangs.  I also attempted to send myself a photo from my work email address by mailing to [email protected]    Again, I received the notification to download the photo and after hitting the download button--nothing!   Am I doing something incorrectly?   A setting to be made perhaps?  FYI, I am running the latest update for the Charge.
    Thx for the help!

    Well since nobody here responded, I called Verizon Tech Support directly.  I was instructed to remove the battery while leaving the power on (that's important--do NOT power off!).  Then depress the power button in succession twenty (20) times.  Replace the battery cover and power up as normal.  All fixed!!!    Thanks to "Julius"  at VZW.  Obviously, this is some type of reset sequence for the Charge.
    Depress the power button 20 times with the battery still out or after putting the battery back in?

  • Unable to view photos on iPhone 4S

    Hi,
    There are some photos which I am unable to view on iPhone 4S 64 GB. When I open those photos it opens up with a white screen but I am able to view those in the camera roll. It only happens when I open the picture to view it in the normal size. This photos are taken from the same device. I've performed Reset, refresh but its still the same.

  • Unable to view photos although after sycronising after upgrade to IOS 5.1.

    Hi, I'm unable to view the photos after syncronising although application shows that I've successfully syncronise 9 photos. None can be displayed.This is after upgraded to IOS 5.1.Pls help.

    Completely agree with you, bladddddd.
    There really should be a toggle in the cellular menu to switch between LTE, 3G & 2G. Carriers in some parts of the world may well be switching off the 2G service, but that doesn't apply to everyone & certainly not where I am in the UK.
    I spoke to AppleCare about my problem last month, but they were unfortunately quite hopeless, not knowing that the easiest way for me to recover my original carrier settings in iOS 6.0.2, would have been for me to carry out a full reset & restore from a backup. :(
    I did too pass on my annoyance with the inability to switch back to 2G, should I want to, after an over-the-air carrier settings update has taken place & has subsequently replaced the 3G toggle with the LTE toggle.
    I have also completed the feedback form some weeks ago. I hope others having this same issue will do this too:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    Hopefully, Apple may bother to actually take some notice of this problem, which will now affect a lot of iPhone 5 users.
    The next iOS update will hopefully include the ability to override a carrier settings update & falling back to a 2G signal, should users want to, or need to, particularly in order to reduce the strain on the battery.
    Until such an update is released, I'm sticking to iOS 6.0.2 :(

  • Unable to view photos that others post on facebook since upgrade

    was able to view photos that friends posted on facebook until ungraded to current version of firefox. Now those photos are just blank white spaces.

    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    *Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    *Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    *Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    *Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    *Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • TS4403 unable to view photo stream in windows

    I am unable to view my photostream on my pc.  I keep getting an error that iphotostream stopped working do I wish to debug or cancel I'm not sure how to fix this. It also says that photostream is not enabled in the windows folder, but it has been enabled in the icloud control panel. Thanks.

    You first need to go into the System/iCloud preference pane and activate PhotoStream:
    Then you'll be able to activate it in iPhoto.

  • I accidentally modified my photos on my 2009 iMac (running leopard). Sharing was enabled and modified the photos via my MacBook Pro(running iLife11).Now I can't view photos on iMac.Can this be reversed?

    The photos on my iMac have been modified to be read by iLife 11 (which is installed on my MacBook Pro). Now I am unable to view my photos on the iMac  as I have an older version of iPhoto installed. Can this modification be reversed perhaps using time-machine?

    No,  Library conversion to iPhoto 11 is one way only.  You will need to upgrade you iMac to iPhoto 11.

  • Slide show unable to view on a IMAC... any ideas?

    Hi ,
    I made a slide show on my pc and uploaded to website and shared (e-mail link) to family on a I MAC. They are unable to view. Any idea's?
    Thank you

    They probably need to install this. It's free and it lets macs see .wmv files:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17787/flip4mac-wmv-player
    Another possiblity is that their version of flash is too old:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP
    Finally, you don't say which version of OS X they're using, but there have been imac models for well over ten years now, so their machine/operating system could also just be too old.

  • My Epson wireless printer has lost its connection with imac - how do I reconnect?

    My Epson wireless printer is not responding to the print command displaying the message "looking for printer/the printer is not connected" but the printer is on and the wireless connection working - any thoughts please on how to resolve? Thanks

    I've found that once in a while this seems to randomly occur. It's happened to me in the last couple of days with my Brother printer. The only way I could get it working was to go through the palaver of setting up the wifi connection to the printer again, using the control panel on the printer to rejoin the network and re-inputting the password.
    The connecting can be made easier if it and your router support WPS pairing. Select WPS pairing on the printer and if offers up an 8 digit number that you input in the wifi configuration page of your router.

  • Unable to view photo browser to import photos

    Friends,
    I'm running FCPX 10.1.  I am unable to easily view the photo browser to import photos.  The screenshot below shows what I see when I click on the photo import pane:
    The screenshot below shows what I see when I click on the under photos to display the entire photo (Aperture) library:
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    I also had the same problem. Then I open iMovie, clicked on the iPhoto and Aperture section. When I got back to FCP X my photos, Gearage Band sections were back. But the photo section must be selected before you quit FCP X. Then open open FCP X, and the photos en Garage Band and other audio effects will be back. But when you select another section like themes or transitions before you quit FCP X, the photo section wil be gone again and had to start the procedure again to get it back. That is my experience of the missing photos and audio effects.

  • Help - unable to view photo files on SD card without attaching to camera (now damaged)

    Hi,I've been using a 32GB SanDisk SD (HC I Class 10) with my Sony NEX-5 since I first got it without a problem. Recently I started being unable to be read the photos on the card in the DCIM folder via the SD Card reader on my computer (a 4GB file with no file extension and non-alphanumeric name was visible, but couldn't be opened or even copied). However it was at least manageable as the photos could be seen on the camera, and in Windows Explorer in date-sorted folders when the camera was connected. Unfortunately my camera was recently irreparably water-damaged so I can no longer download photos from the SD card by connecting the camera. I've downloaded PlayMemories software but this cannot recognize the photos on the card either (it wants me to connect the camera to 'register' it, which I can't). So my question is, given the above information, what  software  could I use to view / download my photos from this SD card? Many thanks for your help!!!!Nik

    Try http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec But I think you've got a bigger problem. Flash memory devices fail. They don't fail all at once, but a little bit at a time. As it fails, it can handle it by remapping memory locations to spare locations. (The reliability of memory devices is dependant on the number of spare memory a device has, and SanDisk and Lexar generally have the most.) But when a device eventually runs out of spare memory locations, it goes down hard, and I think that's what happened to you. Good luck recovering your photos, but I'm not hopeful.

  • Photo gallery freezing; unable to view photos

    I have been having problems with my Gallaxy's photo gallery since before the upgrade.  When I go into my gallery to view my photos I can't click on one to bring it up and if it lets me scroll through the gallery, it will freeze up.  I have done everything that has been suggested from unmounting the SD card to clearing the cache and forcing stop the gallery.  I have turned the phone off and removed the battery as well as the SD and SIM card.  I do not want to do a factory data reset, because obviously the photo gallery problem is a known issue.  I will lose all of things stored in my phone for a temporary solution, I think not.  The SD card is not defective as I have checked it out on other phones as well as my computer. If there weren't so many useless apps loaded on the phone, perhaps the gallery would not be an issue. Are there any other solutions to this problem?????

        SWebster77,
    Yikes! You have done a lot of troubleshooting on your device! We appreciate you taking the time to check into the issue on your own. Before doing a factory reset, I would recommend trying Safe Mode: http://vz.to/1iNs3y3  Safe mode runs the phone without any apps running, which helps to determine if there is an app causing the issue. Also, can you confirm which specific Galaxy model you have? Please let us know if this helps! 
    Thank you,

  • Unable to view photos in iPhoto, although all pictures are still accessible via Finder?

    Last week, I was trying to import some pictures from a USB flash drive. During the import, I got an error that some of the pictures were corrupt and iPhoto '08 7.1.5 stopped the process. At that time, iPhoto still showed all my events and pictures correctly.
    The next day however, iPhoto was completely empty and did not show any event/picture. It simply says 'no photos' at the bottom (in Dutch):
    None of the rebuilding features solve the problem (iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library).
    Via Finder, I'm able to access the iPhoto library (and I only see 1 library at the location) and view the master files all sorted per year. All pictures open perfectly when I double click them in preview.
    If I simply try to drag these pictures to iPhoto, I get an error saying that they are unrecognised/unreadable:
    How do I get these events/pictures back in iPhoto?
    Thanks for your help!

    It appears you'll haver to do the following:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • 60 gig ipod video, unable to view photos

    No problem downloading photos from selected folder useing ipod options/photo. However when I select a folder of pictures from the ipod the thumbnails are blank, and when I select a photo and try to view it the ipod freezes, gets noticably warmer,there is a great deal of hard drive noise, and a reset is needed.
    I haven't tried any videos yet, but mp3 files play just fine.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Think I might of resolved the issue. Used ipod updater to errase and restore settings to my ipod, and used a new folder of photos and a resinc seems to have fixed it. I am going to add more jpgs and see if itunes will convert them for my ipod has well.

  • Unable to view photos in Explorer on Desktop

    I just noticed that I can no longer see thumbnails for the photos in my Pictures library, or the Video library, they just show up as the generic picture/video icon. The font used also seems non-standard. I'm not sure where to start looking to fix this. I'm
    currently running windows 8.1 with all theatres updates on a Surface Pro.

    1.Open File Explorer
    2.Click View
    3.Click Options
    4.Click on View tab
    5.Make sure the check box against Display file icon on thumbnails option is checked under Files and Folders.
    [You may need to uncheck the box that says Always show icons, never thumbnails.]
    6.Click OK/Apply.
