Epson Perfection Scanner v700 stopped working on iMac 10.9.2

I used to be able to use the scanner with the EPSONScan.app software.  Now, I get an error message "Cannot Communicate with Scanner".  I have unistalled the scanner software and drivers and removed it from System Preferences then reloaded Epson SW from Epson web site but still get error message.  I have also uninstalled the Epson SW, deleted the scanner and then added the scanner back without installing the Epson SW.  The iMac recognizes the scanner and I am able to use the scanner with ImageScan but it is far from the functionality I need that EpsonScan has.  I have also tested the scanner by loading the Epson SW and scanner to my PC laptop and it works fine.  Strange thing is it use to work on my Mac and Epson support says that the latest SW is supported for 10.9.2 but I cannot get it to work.

Download http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1398 and if that doesn't work, then download Epson's 10.9 drivers again.
Note: many scanner software require you to drag the marquee over the virtual scanner image on your screen before you can begin the scan.    This gives it an idea of how big an area to scan.  Without dragging the marquee box over the area you want to scan, the scan button may not solidify in black.

  • EPSON Perfection 2480 suddenly stopped working in Snow Leopard 10.6.6

    I never used the Epson software for my iMac. I would always scan from IMAGE CAPTURE or PREVIEW: IMPORT FROM SCANNER in OSX10.6.6.
    I have followed discussion threads and downloaded the current driver from Epson. I have un and re plugged everything in and out, but I still get the same error message.
    This scanner worked fine for close to a year; then it just started throwing out the error message.

    Hi, ibob18052.
    I've been using Epson scanners and the Epson Scan software since 2004 (I'm presently using an Epson Perfection 4990 Photo). I recently scanned several test documents using Apple's Image Capture, and I was disappointed to find that the quality of those scans is truly awful compared to what you get when using the Epson Scan software. I thought Image Capture would do a lot better than it did since Apple is supposed to be the leader in quality-imaging computer hardware.
    Epson Scan may not be the most elegant software (it's pretty clunky at times), but it does wonders when scanning and restoring old photographs, negatives and slides.
    Just be sure to switch the Epson Scan popup menu from "Auto" to "Professional" near the top of the scan window (don't let the word "Professional" fool you; it's not much worse than Image Capture's window). There may also be a triangle/arrow near the bottom of the Epson Scan window that you need to click to see even more options (I can't remember, and I'm not in a position to check right now).

  • Epson Perfection Scanner Woes/Intel iMac

    24" Intel iMac running OS 10.4.8, 250 GB HD, 2.16 GB RAM
    Epson Perfection Scanner 3170, previously ran smoothly on old G3 and OS 9.2.2
    I am trying to get my scanner to work with my new iMac - trying for the first time since purchasing the machine to use this scanner, which I was told by Apple was compatible. I did get it to run one scan this evening even though it kept quitting out; then it wouldn't open and told me to check the connections (fine). I am trying to "Scan to Application" - Photoshop for scanning photos into the computer, on a deadline, naturally!
    Before anyone suggests that I do a search, I found this thread and followed instructions:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1607880&#1607880
    Uninstalled the Epson apps and prefs as per Joe Gramm's directions. I reinstalled from the Epson software CD, downloaded the 11928 driver from Epson (the latest one) and got the ESP3 patch as well (see thread, which I hope all installed where they were supposed to go).
    When I press the button on the scanner that opens the Epson Smart Panel, nothing - no icons - are there for me to select. If I click on Epson Scan app. the scanner will preview and scan whatever is in on the glass but it does not "know" what to do with it once it's done. The JPEG doesn't appear anywhere. I keep waiting for the next window to open up so that I can select the tool box icon to select Photoshop as my application, but it doesn't open and I don't know what to do next. I always had an item in the Apple menu on my old mac that selected the scanner and would like one in the dock - shouldn't something be there?
    I will be emailing Epson as soon as I am done here and would appreciate any help as soon as humanly possible as I have to make a reel for myself using portfolio pictures for an interview this weekend! GAH!

    I was having problems running EPSON Scan.app. I went to this site:
    and followed the instructions below EPSON*.ds file, and deleted all but the scanner model that I had. It worked for me!
    Also if your running Adobe CS3 on an Intel Mac then go to this site, if the TWAIN driver isn't working. I did Solution 2: and it worked for me. The latest epson driver is still PowerPC.

  • Epson perfection scanner

    i had problems a few months ago with my epson perfection scanner not being recognized by my computer. the green 'on' light would be half illuminated when the usb cable was plugged into the computer. this occurred after stupidly moving a bunch of files around and then forgetting how to restore their original placement. i moved files because i was unable to change the name of my home folder -- as this computer is a hand-me-down -- and did not want to have to look at the name of the home folder any longer for personal reasons. silly, but true.
    i did manage to get the computer and scanner to communicate once again, but the connection has since disappeared. i downloaded a demo of vuescan which initiated the connection and then was able to open up the epson scan program after that. i am trying to understand just how drivers work and how these two pieces of equipment communicate so that i can do my own troubleshooting. the epson troubleshooting guide is useless -- after ruling out that the printer isn't plugged into an outlet or into the computer, it has absolutely no suggestions for troubleshooting. no software advice at all. i'm going to continue playing with this problem, but if anyone can explain to me how drivers work and how the computer and the scanner communicate, it might help me out. it might also help a lot of other people out, as i see from the discussion boards, this sort hardware communication problem comes up a lot in various manifestations.
    thanks.

    Those are good suggestions, but unfortunately, in my case, the latest driver and a re-install of the software did nothing to help. The only thing that got things partially working was downloading the demo of vuescan, which I am hesitant to purchase as the demo seems a bit buggy -- but then again, this may be something to do with my computer and not the program. I'm not sure. I wonder what it is about the vuescan program that immediately recognizes the scanner when all other applications, including image capture, fail?

  • My Epson R2880 printer has stopped working - 'filter failure'

    My prized Epson R2880 has suddenly stopped working. I upgraded to 'Mavericks' some time ago but for some reason this error popped up today and there appears to be no remedy.
    Have tried deleting the printer and 're adding it several times' - no good. Epson site says that driver updates are available only from Apple. Apple update did not work.
    Luckily I still have a trusty PC to fall back on but I really expect the Mac to contiue to work with this printer.
    Any ideas?

    If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

  • Epson 4490 Scanner won't work, Epson 1260 does- recent upgrade 10.4.4

    I just upgraded last week to 10.4.4 and my Epson Perfection 1260 scanner software didn't want to load. I hooked the USB directly to computer (from USB hub) and no problems. This week I bought an Epson Perfection 4490 (have LOTS of slides to scan) and the application will not open. I keep getting error messages "The application Epson Scan quit unexpectedly."
    I have installed and uninstalled software from disc w/ scanner.
    I have downloaded software from Epson site.
    I have tried the www.hamrick.com software (that gives me the message that I don't have a scanner hooked up.)
    I have reparied disc permissions. I have run DiskWarrior.
    The system lists the scanner in the USB port, but ImageCapture can't 'see' it.
    Any thoughts? I emailed Epson tonight.
    Any ideas for Mac-compatible scanner that does 4 or more slides at a time if I can't get this (^%#_#) scanner to work?
    Thanks so much for your advice.

    I know I'm going to sound redundant here, but I have solved my problems with the Epson 3170 every time by trashing all the software associated with Epson scanner & Smart Panel; then reinstalling from the original CD that came with the scanner (including Smart Panel); then installing all the patches in chronological order from the Epson website. I've had to do this 3 times, with success each time (Jag, Panther, Tiger). It's a lot of work. Here are the exact directions from Epson support to trash all the associated files;
    Thank you for contacting the Epson Connection.
    To completely uninstall the scanner software please follow the steps below.
    UNINSTALL
    To ensure that all Epson Scan files have been removed from the system you
    would need to check for the following items in the Hard Drive. Please note:
    Not all files and locations will be present. If you do not find one of the
    items listed, please continue on with the next step.
    1. In HD (Hard Drive), APPLICATIONS - remove EPSON SCAN and EPSON SCANNER
    MONITOR, if present
    NOTE: If you receive an error that EPSON SCANNER MONITOR cannot be deleted
    because it is in use, go into HD, APPLICATIONS, UTILITIES and open ACTIVITY
    MONITOR. Highlight the EPSON SCANNER MONITOR process and click on QUIT
    PROCESS to quit the process. Close ACTIVITY MONITOR. You can now go back
    into the APPLICATIONS folder and delete EPSON SCANNER MONITOR.
    2. In HD, LIBRARY, APPLICATION SUPPORT - remove the EPSON SCANNER MODULE
    folder.
    3. In HD, LIBRARY, IMAGE CAPTURE, TWAIN DATA SOURCES - remove the ".ds"
    file bearing your scanner's name.
    4. In HD, USERS, (YOUR USER NAME), LIBRARY, PREFERENCES - Open the EPSON
    folder and then delete the EPSON SCAN folder.
    Please Follow the steps below to uninstall your Smart Panel software
    1. Insert CD into CD Rom
    2. Double-click the SMART PANEL folder
    3. Double-click AMERICAN and then SMART PANEL UNINSTALLER
    4. Click YES to completely uninstall
    5. Restart your computer
    6. Go back to CD then SMART PANEL then AMERICAN and click on SMART PANEL
    INSTALLER to reinstall your software.

  • Epson perfection scanner error -9930

    I have an Epson Perfection 2450 Photo scanner that worked perfectly until my OX system was updated to v.10.8.5. Now when I try to scan, the scanner warms up and starts to work and then I get an error that reads "com.apple.imagecapturecore error -9930". I can't get the darn thing to work. I searched online but what I found is from 2010-2011 so I am not sure if those fixes will help.
    Any advice on how to fix this would be great!

  • Finger Print scanner suddenly stopped working

    The fingerprint scanner on my HP Envy dv6 stopped working when I opened the computer from hibernate this morning.  The device claims it is up to date.  The Biometric devices tab on the device manager is hidden and it reports the error code 45 (hardware device is not connected to the computer).  The device is called Validity Sensors (WBF) (PID = 0018) and it is version 4.4.234.0.  The scanner will not sign me into the computer nore does the simplepass show up when signed in.

    RWick080,
    Welcome back.
    Try this first; it may be enough to just 'kick' it gently.
    Forced Power Reset – “Hard Reset”
    Create a Restore Point   Create a Restore Point – Win7  OR  Create a restore point Win8
    Close all your programs and Shut down the computer
    Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
    Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook
    Boot the computer and log in
    Hard Reset is a Driver Reset; this is NOT the Windows 8 Reset that installs the Operating System.  The Hard Reset procedure does not wipe out your files nor does it destroy your Windows setup in any way.

  • Yahoo mail stopped working on imac when i changed passord with Yahoo

    This may or may not be a coincedence but it seems about the same time.  Ever since I changed my password for my yahoo account, I've had problems with getting yahoo mail to send or receive from mac mail.  I simply changed my passsword on both my iphone and ipad and they've worked seamlessly, however with my imac no such luck.  I've searched high and low on forums, tried changing the settings and ports.  Deleted ALL yahoo related items within keychain, nothing seems to work.  A couple of times I deleted the yahoo account, reinstalled and it brought in thousands of messages, but then 5 minutes later would stop working again.  Now it continually gives me the message that my password is being rejected.  If I go to yahoo the password works fine.
    I've spent hours trying to resolve this, if anyone has any suggestions, please help me!!

    This worked for me. If you have an email that will not load in your yahoo from your PC, it is probably the culprit. Delete that mail or mails and your iphone will load all of your missing emails.

  • IMessage and FaceTime stops working in iMac after carrier change

    Hi all,
    I have done a fair bit of googling and had a look at the discussion history here but couldn't find a solution to my problem. Apology if it has been raised and discussed before and I woud appreciate being re-directed to the thread.
    I have got iMessage and Face Time running smoothly on my iPad 2 wi-fi, iphone 4S and iMac OX 10.8.4. However, on the day of my changing carrier (17/09/2013), iMessage and FaceTime stopped working on my iMac as well as iPad 2. It can longer recieve or send messages or receive or make Face Time calls. All the settings looked the same - tick mark next to both my Apple ID email and mobile number, and conversation has always been set to start from mobile number on all devices. iMessage and FaceTime continue to work on iphone 4S without any issues. New sim card but same mobile number. I don't worry too much about the iPad. I just want to make it work again on my iMac and appreciate any help anyone can offer.
    Steps I have attempted to make iMessage work again (I left Face Time turned off on iphone and iMac during this time)
    0) I disabled/removed Bonjour (GTalk) in iMessage setting in iMac
    1) I have turned off iMessage and FaceTime on all devices and swtiched iMessage only back on in iphone 4S first and then iMac. I got the message on my iphone that the iMac will start using the mobile number and Apple ID to send iMessages. However, iMac still fails to send or receive messages.
    2) I have updated Apple ID on the web (removed the phone number, saved, and then re-entered phone number assoicated with Apple ID). Then repeat #1
    3) I have tried changing "start new conversation from Apple ID email" across all devices - did not resolve anything
    4) I have added a friend's Apple ID in iMessage on my iMac -mobile number automatically appeared and tick marks for both her mobile and Apple ID email but unable to send or recieve messages still while it continues to work from her iphone
    5) I have also done a PRAM reset - I got the 2 chimes - did not resolve the issue
    There's a clear trigger for this problem - change of carrier but I don't understand why it is affecting the iMac (and ipad) but not the iphone itself. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do about it?
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Hi,
    At the OS X 10.8.2 update things regarding the iMessages Account's login were changed.
    It now requires that the Mac's Serial Number is held in the Memory for it on the Logic Board.
    It can get missed in Refurbishments and Repairs.
    This is used to generate the Auth-Token for your Apple ID in the Keychain.
    Go to Application/Utilities and open Keychain Access.
    In the Login Keychain look for "IDS: (Your Apple ID)-AuthToken"
    Double clicking this will open the Info Panel.
    Check the Access tab and make sure it is either allowing Any App or lists Messages, IMCore and those in this pic.
    Although it is know that the Mac has to list the Serial Number it is not clear if other info is needed.
    It is possible that it also refers to your Public IP address in some way, this would seem unlikely as most people's ISP issued IP address is from a DHCP server - you basically keep the same IP as you are "Always On" between the router and the ISP but it can change.
    If it is not allowing access then change the settings.
    There are also two .plists that contain the word imessages
    One of these refers to the server you connect to.
    com.apple.imservice.iMessage.plist contains the Info you have in the Preferences of Messages (Apple ID, Linked iPhone Numbers and any additional emails)
    com.apple.imessage.bag.plist contains which server at iMessages you connect to.
    I would try deleting (drag to Trash) the second of these and then restarting Messages.
    If that does not work Quit Messages and delete the AuthToken for your Apple ID (if the AuthToken appeared to be allowing access above.)
    Restart Messages.
