File-import and there's no printer listed to scan from

I want to scan an image from my Canon MG5220 printer's scanner directly into Photoshop CS5 (recently got new computer and printer). Before I've always been able to go into Photoshop, select File>Import and i see the printer there. However this time I don't.
In system preferences i have selected that printer as the default scanner.
I have also installed the printer on my computer with its CD.
Any ideas?

Did you install the optional TWAIN plugin?  If not, go download and install it.  (but remember that it was made optional because so many TWAIN drivers crash)
And your scanner driver may be limited to 32 bit addressing mode.   Try launching Photoshop in 32 bit mode.

    I'm using Photoshop CS5 and there is no PNG listed under format in save as.    

    PNG files can only be RGB - they are intended for screen viewing. If your intention is to produce a CMYK file for printing, you must use a different format, like tiff.

  • File/Import and Page Layout not working anymore

    I have a question about old software: FrameMaker 6.0 on a Mac. (While Adobe encouraged me to purchase this in 2001 for the chemistry textbook I am writing, I had invested to much to abandon it when Adobe abandoned the Mac version a few years later.)
    I have imported dozens of images files into the 750 page book and FrameMaker has accepted both tif and jpg formats. The way I did it was to create an anchored frame in the textbook, click on it, and then File>Import and select the image file and then choose whether I wanted it to be referenced or actually in the text.  All of this worked fine... until a couple of days ago.
    Problems
    1. I no longer get Import as an option under File and
    2. FrameMaker no longer recognizes tif and jpg files under "All Readable Documents"  when I do File>Open.  I have to click on Show All Files to see them.
    As a result I am unable to import any tif or jpg files into the FrameMaker textbook.
    What's curious is that I have 6.0 installed on both a G4 and a PowerBook and this problem has occurred on both at  the same time.
    3. And I just discovered that when I do Format/Page Layout the half a dozen or so custom formats that I had are no longer listed.
    So what has caused this loss of memory for Framemaker that it can no longer do what it has done for me for years.  (I am somewhat sympathetic to it's memory loss myself as a 78 year old user.)
    The G4 has been unplugged recently but in the past it has been unplugged for a week or so and there were no problems.

    I don't know if read-only files are recognized by FrameMaker to the point where it will dim commands that need to write to the files.
    It's always a good idea on Mac to repair permissions with Disk Utility - make sure you have good backups, just in case.
    Have you tried saving a file that can't import as MIF, then opening the MIF version to restore the file, and perhaps lose any corruption in it? This is called the "MIF Wash."
    I think the latest Mac OS that FrameMaker can work with is system 9, or the Classic simulator that runs on the OS X release called Tiger. I'm sure you'd know if you changed operating systems in this period. Classic won't run on Intel Macs.
    I have no other clues about what might cause this, except the general thought that something has changed on your systems or in the files you're working with. Does the problem persist in a brand-new file you create on your local drive? If you're working with FM files on a network, have you tried the process with files on your local computer drive? Have you quit FrameMaker and restarted your Macs? Any change? If you have a cloned bootable backup of your stuff from before the problem arose, you might want to try cloning your problematic drive to a new bootable backup, then restoring the known good clone, to see if it works.

  • My macbook pro is probably only 2 months old and there is a buzzing/grinding noise coming from the left side of the laptop every time I open it.  It may buzz 5 times in a span of 30 seconds then not make the noise the remaining time that it is open.

    My macbook pro is probably only 2 months old and there is a buzzing/grinding noise coming from the left side of the laptop every time I open it.  It may buzz 5 times in a span of 30 seconds then not make the noise the remaining time that it is open.  I have read that it may have to do with my fan or HD.  I am under apple care for a good amount of time but am wondering if this is a mjor issue.  I would not be able to get to an apple care center in the near future due to being at school.  Should I be worried or will it last by the time I am home in 2 months.

    Sounds like the disk in your MBP is accessing data on wake up
    If you are still concerned you can take it into the Apple Store where they can hear it to be sure

  • Media Encoder Hangs on File Import and Playback

    Media Encode Hangs on launch (extremely slow not normal).  When I drag and drop a file it hangs or using file import it hangs. Encodes that should only take a few minutes are listed as 1 hour.
    I use media encoder all the time it does not perform like this!  Anyone else experiencing these problems?
    Thanks,
    System Info
    Z800 8 core 12Gig Memory Nividia FX5800 Adobe CC Suite lastest updates. (Media Encoder 7.2)

    Still experiencing unexpected behaviour when drag and droping files into project window.  I have draged the same file sometimes it loads instantly other times it takes as much as 3 minutes to load.  The file size is 354 mb.  No other programs are running.  Anyone have similar behaviour?

  • Growing file import and refresh issues

    1) With files generated by our own MOV/op1a writers, we get different results with different wappers, different OS platforms and versions, and different storage filesystems, both using CC 7.1 and CS6.05 
    Quicktime files on the Mac, OS 10.7.5 to a Samba share: refresh will only work by putting Premiere into the background then bringing it to the foreground to force the update. 
    Quicktime files (any codec) on a win7 PC writing to an NTFS share: we get sporadic updates, although in about 98% of sessions, the file will update once or twice after import and then never again during that particular CC/CS6 session. Exiting the program, reopening it and loading the project again will update the duration.  After closing the file, the duration updates instantly in both CC/CS6
    -- For Quicktime files, it seems like some sort of cache file is written that does not get updatedand premiere looks at this instead of polling the current state of the file.
    op1a XDCAM - on PC at least we get a sharing violation when attempting to open, much as in this discussion on the Adobe Community Premiere site: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4746601
    op1a AVC-I not tested yet.
    2) With Adobe Media Encoder CC doing the writing, we get no joy whatsoever.  Only tested on win7/NTFS share
    op1a XDCAM on import CS6/CC returns "file is open in another program" error.
    op1a AVC-I on import CS6/CC returns "file is open in another program" error.
    Quicktime (any codec) file import error or crash.
    All types import correctly after the files are closed.
    -- seems that the AME openfile() handle type is write-only, so Premiere can't open it for reading.
    So...I guess my first question is, what growing file source has this feature been tested with, on which OS and storage filesystems?
    There is virtually zero documentation and what little exists is very unspecific or contradictory...

    Ken,
    There are numerous posts on this subject. Currently LR treats same name, different extension files as sidecars of each other. Check out the numeroues RAW + JPG posts for example.
    Import your files into different folders and then move them into the folder you want for now.
    Hopefully this behaviour will be changed in the forthcoming 1.1 release mentioned by Jeff Schewe et al.

  • Has anyone updated the software for 10.6 Snow Leopard and found that their printer no longer scans or prints?

    Last October, I bought a MAC desktop that uses MAC OS X 10.6.8 and an HP 1050 All-in-One Printer J401a.
    Everything worked beautifully until messages kept popping up about downloading critical MAC software update. Eventually, I succumber to the persistence and took the 7 hours required to do the download.
    Since then, the printer refuses to scan. A mesage informs that "HP Utility quit unexpectedly" and a report is being sent automatically to Apple.
    A few days ago, I got an engineer to have a look. He re-ran the HP disk 3 times and managed to get the scanner to work, but only once. His second visit did absolutely nothing and now even the printer doesn't work.
    HP informs that this is a problem with MAC OS X 10.7 and suggests downloading a correction.
    Has the Apply update turned the 10.6 to a 10.7?
    I have un-installed HP and disconnected the printer.
    What can I do to get this important facility back?

    Thanks for the reply.
    Even after the 7 hour update download the MAC OS X still says version 10.6.8 and nothing appears to have changed except printer and scan errors. I've uninstalled HP after 3 futile reloads and disconnected the printer.
    Any suggestions?
    Lis
    Right 10.7 is a purchase of a new oeprating system. Software update will not upgrade your computer to 10.7.
    The Software on the disk is very old software. Ushally it's a good idea to download the latest software from HP. As such, have you tried downloading & Installing HP Deskjet Full Feature Software and Drivers - Mac OS X v10.5 and v10.6?
    You may need to go into system prefrences, Printers, and delete the printer, and then re-add the printer.
    When opening the scanning software; it's really important to open the right program. If you look in the HP software folder there should be sevreal programs. There should be a program called scanner select or some thing similar. That's the one you want to open. it will have you select the device you want to scan from; then it will give you the option to open the scanning program.
    if that dosen't work, do you have any other mac or pc computers? the reason I ask; is that the printer could be having a hardware issue. if you try the scanner / printer with another computer; and you still have the issue, then you know it's an issue with the printer it self and not your computer.
    My HP all-in-one scanner died about 8 months into owning it. I couldn't even use the built-in copy button on the printer to make copies.

  • Why does iPhoto delete photos out of secure photo storage apps, and there is no option Not to delete from everywhere ie all albums on all devices

    I purchased IPhoto then saw a duplicate photo in my photo album so went to delete it, the delete function came up with a message this photo is in more than one album do you want to delete from everywhere, as no other option available ie " no just this album" I hit delete and then found it had deleted the photo from all my devices 2 iPhones and 2 iPads, the photo was in a " Safe App " supposed to be secure why did this happen, any help would be appreciated

    When I downloaded photos from a camera SD card using an adapter, I noticed two Albums were created in the Photo app.(Last Import & All Import). Like you stated, there is no option to delete excess photos without deleting all of them. So this is the lengthy steps I went through to delet the extra album (I hope someone comes up with a shorter process):
    1) Connect iPad into your PC (Make sure you configured to Sync with iTunes)
    2) Go to My Computer > right click and open Apple iPad > right click and open  Internal Storage > right click and  open DCIM. (This will show the photos from those to Albums only)
    3) Right click on a empty space on the desktop
    4) Click on New > Folder
    5) Go back to the DCIM files and right click on each file(one at a time) then copy and paste each file over the New Folder.
    6) Go back to the DCIM files and open each folder and right click and delete each photo.
    You will notice that all the same photos are being deleted on the Photo app simultaneously.
    7) Then drag the New Folder into you Pictures on the PC.
    8)Then open iTunes on your PC and click on the Photo tab and click Sync on the bottom right to import those photos back to your iPad.
    I hope my scenario can apply to you.

  • Print list of Movies from iTunes that shows Cover.....

    I am trying to print a list of movies from iTunes that shows the movie cover art. When I print the list that includes cover art, the list is sorted by "Artist" not alphabetically.
    If I print alphabetically, it does not show the movie cover art, but prints in alphabetical order.
    I want a list of my movies printed from iTunes in alphabetical order that also shows the movie cover art. Does anyone know how to do this? I have not tried to print this out of iTunes 9 yet as I just upgraded.
    I realize that I could go through my movie list and put the movie name in the artist field, but I want to keep the artist information intact.
    Thanks for your help!

    I am trying to do the same thing. The movie list with cover art sorts by director's (artist) first name.

  • I'm trying to sync my Ipod on my PC and there are no devices listed in the Itunes sidebar

    I'm trying to sync my IPod 160g classic to my PC and nothing happens. I just updated to the newest version of ITunes so I could follow some help from the internet but I'm not seeing any devices listed in the ITunes sidebar. I admit I'm not that familiar with Apple products! Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you. Thank you. Now my IPod shows up in devices and has synced. Thank you!!!!!!!!
    Problem still exists in that I just imported a lot of my cd's into my ITunes library in ACC format but the IPod will not sync the new stuff. I've checked that the IPod has the latest software and recently updated to the newest version of ITunes. After getting the IPod to sync I get a warning that a lot of files could not be found. They all show up in ITunes and play fine.
    Is there a way to identify the location to the IPod where these songs are. They are in the same location as everything else on my external hard drive. I've spent hours trying to resolve this and would appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thanks again.

  • Premiere CC crashes upon file import (and everything else)

    Premiere Pro user here for at least 8 years.  I upgraded to CC, and am running into some very alarming crashes to the point that working on this project is absolutely impossible. 
    I have done extensive troubleshooting on my own, and I was so frustrated that I actually just completely reformatted my Windows 7 machine.  Upon reinstall, I decided to rid my machine of basically everything except for Adobe Premiere.  So I am working with a fresh install, and I'm still running into the same crashes.
    DETAILS:
    I have a big project that I'm trying to import with 80GB of video files.  When I try importing them all at once, it hangs and then crashes.  I am using two internal hard drives, one for Premiere and one for the video files.  Premiere is running on an SSD, and my files are on a 7200 rpm SATA drive.
    The odd thing is that once Premiere crashes, it seems to affect the rest of my PC.  For example, after the Premiere crash, Explorer is very sluggish and I can no longer even open the video files independently in Windows Media Player.  Sometimes Explorer won't open at all after the Premiere crash.
    After about 10 hours, I was finally able to import all my files, but the only way I could make it work was to import 1 to 2 files at a time.  And even after that, the program crashed constantly, to the point that the project was impossible to work on. 
    MY MACHINE:
    -Windows 7 x64
    -12 GB Ram
    -Intel Core i7, 3.20 Ghx
    -Nvidia Geforice GTX 570
    -AntivirusL Microsoft Security Essentials
    NOTE:
    -I'm running Premiere as Administrator
    Do you guys have any ideas on what could be going on?  I'm kind of freaking out, since I haven't even been able to start the project yet, and I'm supposed to be wrapping up today.  So if you can give me a hand, I would greatly appreciate it. 

    It is.  No built-in graphics there to cause a problem.
    Unfortunately, that was my only idea.  There have been a flood of similar reports lately, but I haven't yet seen a reliable cause put forth, nor a solution.

  • [Acrobat X Pro] File locks and page counts when printing

    Hi,
    We have two users on Acrobat X Pro Win 7 X32.
    On both systems they have the following issues.
    1) If they were to print only page 1 for example, they can set a page count of 5 copies and it would be fine. If later on they were to print page 10 and they would also like 5 copies, the page count has reverted to the default 1 copy. It doesn't remember the selection of 5 copies from the previous print.
    Is this a bug?
    2) File locks occur on all files even if they are specifically closed. The file lock is only removed once they close Acrobat down entirely. This has cause alot of problems. Has Adobe acknowledged this as a fault yet?
    Thanks.

    Make sure the Preview panel in Windows Explorer is disabled.

  • Binary file import and export in lab windows cvi

    Hello,
    I have some standard binary file format (.sie) that has been written in origin IDE. The sie type extension file format is a public format, but not defined by Origin. In origin IDE, i can be able to import these files and also be able to export it to excel as csv type. Now, i want to do the same thing in lab windows cvi. i need to import .sie type file and be able to read and export it to excel in lab windows cvi. Is this possible? Please help me to work on this project. Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Jayakumar.V

    Reading and writing binary file is indeed possible in CVI, the problem normally lien in the definition of the file format you want to access.
    I never found .SIE extension during my activity; a fast search on google returned this page with a link to the document explaining one file structure: it's a format dedicated to accounting so it's possibly not  your case, but could they be your files?
    Before finding the complete description of the file format you cannot think of any operation on the file itself, unless it is so self evident that you need little effort to access file content (this normally happens only on text files).
    Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.
