EPSON NX415: Computer cannot detect scanner at all

I just upgraded to snow leopard and bought this new printer, an Epson NX415 All-in-One printer. The printing and copying works fine, but I cannot use the scanner at all. When I finished installing the scanner driver, I immediately got this pop-up message:
"Unable to create a work folder on the current disk, therefore the work folder will be returned to the default location."
I opened up photoshop and the scanner's name was listed under the import from devices tab. However, when I clicked it the same popup window appeared again. But for some reason, Preview and Image Capture cannot detect the scanner. I then opened up Print/Fax in system prefs and saw the Epson NX415 printer listed in the printer queue. However, there was no scanner tab. Its almost like the computer doesnt know that the scanner exists.
I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and upgrading all the drivers per apple and epson's instructions but to no avail. After every reinstall of the scanner driver, i get the same pop-up message i quoted above.
HALP! The printer/copier functions work beautifully. I just cannot figure out why I cant even scan.

My problem has been solved by the solution on this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10105981#10105981
I went to Print/Fax, Selected my printer, Printer Setup, Driver, and selected "Epson NX400" from the dropdown list. For some reason, that one unlocked the scanner. When I went to add new printers in the printer queue, i saw the Scanner icon at last

Computer cannot detect the camera.

I have had a Powershot A590, and could connect it to my HP, but now when I try to download images the computer says it cannot detect my camera.

Hi Katyboy,
Is your notebook connected to AC power? If not, please do connect it. This will ensure it is adequately powered so it can properly work with the camera.
Do you have any other devices connected to your notebook? We only recommend, at least as a test this time, connecting the camera to the notebook. Other devices, such as printers, scanners and external drives may interfere with proper communication.
Does your notebook make a sound when the camera is connected and powered on in playback? It should make a sound, indicating that it at least detects the camera. If it does not, try connecting it to another USB port.
What program are you using to attempt to download the images from the camera?
If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

Mac cannot detect scanner option on HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw after trying every method

Hello,
I have recently purchased the new printer HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw and I am having a lot of trouble trying to scan. I have spend hours trying to fix this.
I have tried all the methods on this website, (trying through preview, printers and scanners (no scanner option showing) image capture, etc. I have also installed all the necessary drivers with no luck (CD and from HP website)
Then I tried all the other methods that were listed, I have tried restarting, deleting drivers and proceeding through image capture, preview and sanner and printers, it just does not have scan option anywhere.
The printer is working fine though, and I am connected to the printer through wifi
I do not know what else to try, please help.
Kinds regards
Zhanna

Hi @student ,
I see by your post that you aren't able to scan through the wireless network. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
When you added the printer, did you add it as a Bonjour printer or did you have to type in the IP address and add it through IP Protocal? The reason I am asking is because when adding the printer through IP Protocal you can only print, your not able to scan with the printer added this way.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. It should list just the printer's name. (HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw )
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen should show the name.
If the printer name isn't listed properly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in)
If you are still having issues, uninstall the printer software.
Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer.
Empty the trash.
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then install the printer software again. HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M176/M177 Series Software.
If the issue persists, connect the printer directly to the Mac and try and scan through a USB connection. Just to rule out a network issue.
Please let me know the outcome.
Have a fantastic day!
Thank You.

Is there any way i can get the pictures off my iphone 4 if my computer doesnt detect it ?

my computer cannot detect my iphone 4 and my phone is stuck on the charging screen is there anyway i can get my pictures off it ?

What do you mean that your phone is stuck on the charging screen? Have you tried resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Apple appears the device is resetting and the Home screen should display shortly.
Cheers,

The iTune cannot detect my iPhone. I have already tried all methods suggested, including re-installling iTune, re-activating Apple Mobile Device, plugging in various USB ports, and etc. I use windows 7. How can I solve this?

The iTune cannot detect my iPhone 4S. I have already tried all methods suggested, including re-installling iTune, re-activating Apple Mobile Device, plugging in various USB ports, and etc. I use windows 7. How can I solve this?

The new cable is completely new, and my computer can detect the phone as a drive, and battery charging is ok. So I believe the USB cable works properly. It is so weird that just iTune itself cannot detect the phone, and it is of the most updated version. What else can I do? Thanks.

My new iMac cannot detect my canon scanner

I just got a new iMac with the latest Mountain Lion update however, when I tried to install my CanoScan 8800f it cannot be dected in the USB. But when I tried to connect it to my old computer and used scanner sharing, it works well. I tried isolating the problem by using another macbook that I just recently formatted and installed OSX 10.7 it cannot be detected as well... Is it a compatibility issue, I've downloaded the most recent drivers from canon's website? I quite need some help right now as scanning photos and documents are very important. Thanks!

In image capture is the same. Through USB it can't be detected, on the network scanner sharing from a computer (in this case the macpro) that has the scanner installed, it works like a charm. I use the scanner utility (Print & Scan > open scanner) to scan my images and documents rather than the scanner software it comes with. I don't find anything wrong using it as I've used other scanners on my laptop Brother, HP, and Apple's scanner utility doesn't fail.\
Basically this is what I'm looking at right now the scanner is connected in the USB port and its not recognizing it. I also tried other ports, same result.

Image capture cannot detect Epson 10000XL over network.

I have an Epson Expression 10000XL scanner with an ethernet card, connected to an Airport Express, and then wirelessly to my iMac. The Epson Scan application detects the scanner and allows scanning to take place, but Image Capture does not detect the scanner. How do I also get Image Capture to detect my scanner wirelessly? Thank you.

As promised, I called Apple this morning, and they said that Epson (not Apple) was responsible for providing the drivers for their scanners. Since I can connect my iMac and Epson scanner to all of my scanning applications through a USB connection, and can only connect wirelessly to Epson Scan, it follows that Epson provides only a driver to connect with their proprietary Epson Scan and no drivers for connecting to other scanning software, including Image Capture.
This looks like the end of my efforts to connect wirelessly to Image Capture. Thanks for your help, PAHU.

AAAGGHHH!!! Have WRT54G V8, all lights a go, but cannot detect internet connection

Any help is a Plus!!! Just bought my wife a WRT54G V8 router from Best Buy. The thing is less than 2 weeks old. Have yet to figure how to set it up. I have ran the CD, it gets to about %89, stops and says "Cannot detect internet connection, ck cables and try again". Have went through the speal w/the phone self help setup, downloaded the instructions from the Liksys support site, and set on hold for about 30 minutes before getting sick of waiting for help. I don't have a firewall other than the Windows firewall, my DSL service is through Verizon (MSN). When the router is hooked up I can't sign on to the internet at all. If I unhook the router and hook the modem back into the computer it works fine. I am at a loss, Please Help!!!

check first what is your ip when you are connected straight to your modem
if it is 192.168.1.1, disconnect the modem from the internet port of the router
turn the router off wait 10 sec. then back on
with the pc connected to e.g. port no. 1 on the router, open internet explorer, on the address bar type in 192.168.1.1 - uname none/blank password admin
then on set up look for local ip address change that to 192.168.2.1
Melsky, this is a very confusing post.You say to check the ip you get when connected to the modem, if it is a 192.168.1.1 address then disconnect the modem from the internet port of router.
First, you would never get a 192.168.1.1 address from the modem. If the modem has a built in router or just a dhcp server IT would most likely be 192.168.1.1 so it would not assign that address to anything else.
Second, you say to check ip directly connected to modem, but then you say to disconnect the router if the address is a 192.168 address. If they connect directly to the modem, the router is already disconnected.
Very confusing.

When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?

So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five,
(Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)
Then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time..

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

If your external drive does not have an independent power supply, you may wish to consider a couple of lower-cost options before tossing the drive. Bus-powered drives have no external power source and must get all their power from the computer. They can exceed the computer's USB energy budget.
Cheapest option:
1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
This gets power from two of the computers USB porst sna can provide enough power to wake up an under-performaing bus-powered drive.
If you don't have enough ports to use this, try the next cheapest option:
Newer Technology 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter for Mac & PC
Such a hub has a an independent power supply to make up for wahat the comptuer fails to provide.
