Epson scanner perfection 1670 is not detected on system preference pane

It use to work but now it only produces blank grey scans.
I have deinstalled and reinstalled new driver from Epson support site.
I have also tried cleaning the USB connection with no results.
I have noticed that when I tried connecting to the internet from the the scanner Help menu it tells me I am not connected (while I am) and I noticed also that the scanner is not detected on system preference pane.

You can open System Profiler and under the Hardware heading you will see the USB entry. The printer should be listed under one of the USB busses. If you don't see it then the USB cable could be faulty or the printer itself could be cactus. So try another USB cable and in another port on the Mac. If the new cable and socket fails to make the printer appear in the USB view then the printer is the problem.
If the printer is visible under one of the USB busses then this would indicate that the printer and the USB cable is okay. In this case the printer should be capable of being added in Print & Fax. But if you select to add the printer and it does not appear in the Default view of the Add Printer pane then try a reset of the printing system, as described next.
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
5. Restart your Mac

Epson scanner perfection 1200 photo not working since ML

hi,
my epson scanner perfection 1200 photo worked fine on snow leopard. since my upgrade to mountain lion (no lion in between), i cannot use it any more - although it is still in the list of supported models.
now i am on 10.8.2. i have downloaded the latest SW update with the scanner connected and switched on.
i can assign, unassign and reassign it in utilities. i can change settings (i cannot change the selection for scanning, though). but as soon as i do an overview scan, it will abort. same behaviour when trying to scan.
this happens identically when working in image capture or direct from print scan utility.
i have tried to remove the epson scan plist and the image capture plist from user preferences. no effect.
some time ago already, i got in touch with epson service. they sent an outdated installer and provided information different from their website. :-(
questions:
- did anyone get this scanner to work with ML?
- any ideas what to do?
thank you!

Hi All !
I installed the new drivers for my Epson Perfection V700 Photo. And it is working as supposed to !
Go on the Epson web site and download the drivers. Follow the simple instructions and be ready to drive your scanner as before !

Canon MP560 Printer is not detected by System Preferences

Hi everyone,
I am using a 2010 Macbook Pro with OS X Version 10.7.5, I have had this Canon MP560 Printer for about 2 years now and it has been working perfectly until lately when it starts to keep on returning "a communication error has occured" whenever I tried to print something.
I have read through the forum and noticed that people have experienced the same thing as me.
So for me, I have tried the following solutions:
1. Checking if the LAN connection is working and printing the LAN test page from printer. It does print ad says that wireless LAN is enabled an active.
2. I deleted the printer and scanner from System Preferences and try to re-add it
3. Update my software
When I tried to re-add it, there is no printer detected. I tried doing the step-by-step that PAHU recommended that worked for some one but unfortunately it does not work for me. My printer still does not appear when I tried to look up a printer.
(Here is the step by step that I followed:
The printer component of the MP560 can take longer to appear than the scanner component. The scanner uses Bonjour to advertise itself on the wireless network, while the printer component uses a proprietary protocol called "canonijnetwork". If you select to add a printer and have the Default Add Printer view open, you will see the MP560 as Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column. But if you wait at least 15 seconds more, the printer should appear showing "canonijnetwork" in the Kind column.
If this printer component does not appear after 30 seconds maximum then it would suggest a problem with the printer driver installation. So open Finder and navigate to HD > Library > Printers > Canon > BJPrinter and trash the contents of this folder. Then download the latest MP560 driver via this link and run the installer. With the installation completed, try to add the printer again.)
Since I have tried these suggestions but still is not successful I wonder what's wrong with my Printer/Macbook and if there's any other way to add printer (using IP address for example ). If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Yes I can Ping the IP address from Network Utility.
Before, my Macbook couldn't even recognize the scanner, but now I can add the Scanner from System Preferences.
However, my printer is stll not detected. I am missing some sort of an application or something?

I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detect

I installed OS X Mavericks and now my Epson Scanner Perfection Series V330 Photo refuses to open. Is there a new driver available? I am scanning my work for a book publication and I need my scanner urgently. I tried Image capture but scanner is not detected.

Looks like all Epson scanners will fail under Mvrx. And who knows when an updated driver will be available. It's not as if they have had a while to do it already.
After I noticed mine wouldn't work, I deleted my Workforce 610 and re-added it by pressing the + and instead of going for the IP versions that may pop up, that they say to do under normal conditions, select the Bonjour version. When you select the new printer/scanner in the Printers & Scanners Control Panel, then open the control window and then look in the dock and see if your printer is there. Right click on it and go to "Keep in Dock" for easy Access. In the printer panel there should be a little picture of a scanner on the right side. Click on it or type Commmand-3 and the built-in scanner software/utility will come up. After playing with it I think it's better than and there are some cool features that are not in the stock Epson software.
Hope this helps.

epson scanner perfection 1640 SU <folder is not writeable> seem to happen after mountian lion upgrade .epson site says get the driver from apple. apple says no updates available. I had this problem the last time I upgraded but I do not recall how I fixed it.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.

Apple discontinued support for PowerPC apps with Lion, I think, so you're out of luck there. No patch coming, unfortunately. Best to upgrade whatever old applications you have or, since it seems like you're using some relatively old software, scout around for replacements that give you the functionality you need.
Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Print & Scan and select your scanner from the list--if it's not there you'll need to add it (start with the little plus icon). Once you have it in the list you can click on the Open Scanner button and a pretty barebones scanner driver will load for you. But Image Capture (as mentioned previously), found in your Applications folder, will probably do the job as adequately, or better, than your old scanner software.

Are you using a mac or windows? And what version?

Hi, I am using my icloud on my iphone but am unable to find it on my mac book pro. It's not under my system preferences like it shows under the setup. Can I download it again? Or something. I just need to backup some files on my computer and am unable.

Hi, I am using my icloud on my iphone but am unable to find it on my mac book pro. It's not under my system preferences like it shows under the setup. Can I download it again? Or something. I just need to backup some files on my computer and am unable.

The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

My battery icon has disappeared from my menu bar at the top of the screen and the energy saver preferences simply says 'Could not load Energy Saver preference pane'

My battery icon randomly disappeared a few months ago from my menu bar and i have been unable to make it come back. After researching solutions online it soon became clear that all of the suggestions needed me to go into the energy saver preferences in the setting however the icon for the energy saver preferences is no longer there and whenever i click in the blank space where it used to be, it simply says 'Could not load Energy Saver preference pane'. As a result of this i never know how much battery i have left and so i just have to wait for the machine to die each time
The mac in question is a 13 inch 2012 macbook air that is running on OS Mavericks at the moment.
Any ideas on how to get the icon back?
- I recently discovered by accident that before i actually log into my account on my mac, when i am still on the page that contains the options of guest user etc. at that point the battery icon is displayed in the top right hand corner? Why is it that the icon exists there but not once i have logged it? Thankyou for any advice.

Some Tabs Not Working in System Preferences

Mac Pro E2008 14Gb/2Tb. Installed Mavericks over OS X 10.8.4 with no problems. Was having some problems with selected fonts not showing up in Pages 5.0. Ran some font diagnostic software, which isolated some problem fonts. Subsequent to this I noticed that some Tabs do not work in some preference panes. In particualr, tha advanced tab in Security and Privacy does not work and the advanced tab does not work in Network Preference pane. Neither does the + tab in that pane but the - does. Also cannot edit the three locations that I have in my system.
Found that all is restored when logged into the root account and also into a Maintainence admin account. I also ascertained that in my faulty account, after taking out the login items plist and starting with no login items, the fault was still there. Similarly booting into safe mode did not restore the faulty tabs. I ran font book and deleted all questionable fonts and moved all the user fonts to the /library/fonts folder. After each action I restarted rather than logging out. I have tried deleting the systemuiserver.plist and removing the relevant network plists from the user/library/preferences folder. I have also removed the com.appl.network.eapoiclient.plist and com.apple.systempreferences.plist. I have also made invisible files visible and gone through the whole system folder/library folder and ~/library folder and deleted old preferences and obsolete files back to 2004 with the result that my system now loads very much quicker, which is an obvious bonus. However, the problem still remains and is obviously something to do with the main user account. If I go into root or my maintainence account, I can change or edit some settings which "stick" when I log back into my main account. I have carried out the mail and iBook update in the mean time which has not changed anything.
I have also ran diskwarrior and corrected the disk directory, repaired permissions, reset ACL's and emptied various caches using tinker tool system and mavericks cache cleaner. I have I think very thoroughly inspected the library and ~/Library folders.
So, synopsis (1) Definitely the main account. (2) No logins or safeboot are not the culprits.
Whilst not earth shattering and hopefully 10.9.1 may solve the problem, I would be very grateful if anyone could add any further possible problem areas to look at or suggest possible further solutions.

Hey there, sounds like you've done a lot of the groundwork already although it's not entirely clear what about the preference panes aren't working. There is further isolation that could be performed however if the issue is isolated to your user account as you mentioned then renaming the home folder library preferences, logging out and back in (preventing login items if any) and testing may give you the results you are looking for. If that works I would copy the files from the renamed Preferences folder *not replacing* existing files when prompted (of course if it doesn't work replace the existing Preferences folder with the original renamed Preferences entirely). The same type of troubleshooting also applies to the user library itself however please be careful about launching apps after renaming the ~/library or the contained prefs folder and before copying unaffected plists and/or supporting files back as unexpected results may follow (i.e. lost or missing data). Also if you are eligible for support (which you almost certainly are as you have very recently installed a new OS) I'm sure Applecare may help find a solution.

My accounts will not open in System Preferences it keeps saying System Preferences quit unexpectedly?!? It will not open at all.

Please HELP! My accounts will not open in System Preferences it keeps saying System Preferences quit unexpectedly?!? It will not open at all.

In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Select the System Preferences icon in that folder and press the key combination command-I to open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in the Info window labeled Open in 32-bit mode. Uncheck it, if checked. Close the Info window and the Applications folder. Test.

ICloud mail settings not saved in System Preferences on Mountain Lion

I note that iCloud mail settings not saved in System Preferences on Mountain Lion even if I tick mail in Icloud then close system preferences then open system preferences and it is untiked again?
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Cheers

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Removing an account not listed in System Preferences Accounts?

Somehow I inadvertently created a second account on my iMac that shows as an option at startup. I think I did this with the startup disc somehow. It's not listed in System Preferences>Accounts. How do I get rid of it?

I tried the terminal command first. It returned this line:
dsebableroot: Command not found.
I then tried the instructions after the link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1528?viewlocale=en_US
"Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
From the Go menu, choose Utilities.
Open Directory Utility.
Click the lock in the Directory Utility window.
Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
Choose Disable Root User from the Edit menu."
However in the Edit menu, "Disable Root User" is not an option. "Enable Root User" is.
