How do I get my scanner functions back on new Windows 8 laptop?

Finally got my Pixma MX 420 into my wireless network with new laptop and Windows 8.  I can't find the scanner functions like it had before on two of my old computers. How do I get the scanner window back?

Hi rlhag!
The scanner function is available through the bundled software that comes with the printer.  Since you have Windows 8, you probably needed to download the drivers from our website.  You can download the scanning software, MP Navigator, from our website.  I will include instructions to download below.
Please perform the following to download the software from our website:
 1.  Visit Canon's web site at: 
http://www.canontechsupport.com
 2.  Click on SUPPORT & DRIVERS.  On the Support & Drivers page, select your model in the following manner:
      a.  From the first menu, select PRINTERS & MULTIFUNCTIONS.
      b.  From the second menu, select PIXMA MX SERIES.
      c.  From the third menu, click DRIVERS & SOFTWARE beside the PIXMA MX420.
 3.  Select Windows using the drop down menu SELECT OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION, then select your version of Windows 8 using the SELECT OS VERSION drop down box.
 4.  Click SOFTWARE.
 5.  Click on MP Navigator EX.
 6.  Instructions for completing the download and installation will appear on the page that follows.  You will also see a disclaimer at the bottom.  Review the disclaimer, and click I AGREE - BEGIN DOWNLOAD.
 7.  Once the download is complete, double click on the downloaded file to start the installation.  Follow the onscreen instructions to install.

    how can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks

    Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
    If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

    Right click the FireFox button in your toolbar and look in the properties- middle tab...make sure that it only has "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" with no other link added to the end. I had a similar problem this morning and found a website had attached it's link to the end so it would always pop up first and would only open a new tab.
    Hope that fixed it.

  • HT203167 lost my hard drive how can i get songs from ipod back to new computer

    I lost my hard drive and want to get my music back on my new computer. How can I get songs from my ipod to my computer? I am afraid to sync it and losing what is on my ipod. Any help would be appreciated.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How do I get Vista to go back to the Windows' Vista generic driver after an Extigy upgrade fiasco

    Hello all. First, I'm glad to have the opportunity to be a part of this group. I didn't know it even existed, but here I am...so, let me know what you think.
    I am a new Windows Vista Ultimate OS owner, and thus far, I'm absolutely thrilled with the advances in video render and compression speeds. However, one of the auto-update features tried to update my Extigy driver, the one that apparently loaded with the original install of Windows Vista, and the update didn't work...go figure. So, now there is no way to use the system restore as it doesn't recognize that there was a change, and I can't get the Extigy to make a peep.
    How do I go bakc to the Windows Vista generic driver so I can listem to my voice overs agan?Thanks so much folks... Michael

    Go to the device manager, and select the extigy, then properties, then in the driver tab, the 3rd button down

  • How can you get CMD + L to open a new window, when all windows are closed?

    In Firefox 28 and earlier, you could hit Apple + L (CMD + L) when no FF windows were open, and it would pull up a blank page with the cursor blinking in the address bar.
    After installing FF 29, when you hit CMD + L (with no windows open) it just plays the system alert sound and does nothing.
    I want to be able to hit CMD + TAB to gain control of an idle Firefox, and then be able to hit CMD + L to gain control of a BLANK address bar.
    Every other version of Firefox I've ever used did this, so am I missing something here? Any ideas?
    Note: I realize that you can hit CMD + N to launch a new window and then CMD + L to select the text within the address bar. I'm not looking to re-train my habits within Firefox, but simply want that feature like it was in the previous 28 versions.

    Well, after an entire week without a word from Mozilla, I officially give up.
    I understand that new software will have bugs when it is released. I understand that the bugs are fixed in the order of greatest impact/priority. I also understand that my issue is not a bug, rather a feature that was inexplicably removed.
    A couple of things I cannot understand —
    Why would Mozilla remove '''ANY''' features from their software when they are touting this as the most customizable web browser ever? That is obviously not logical and will be to their detriment in the long run.
    Furthermore, if a person did get on here just to complain about this update, they were immediately met with a canned response from a moderator, which offered a few options to make Firefox '''LOOK''' like the previous version. That speaks volumes about this update and the developers' confidence in it. The person who gets on here with a legitimate problem asking why a feature was removed — they get '''NO''' response from a moderator. Again, this speaks volumes. I am not even asking for an immediate solution to this problem, just the acknowledgement that there is a problem. On top of that, especially in the development of software, the old adage particularly rings its truest — ''If it ain't broke, don't fix it.''
    Lastly, I think we can all agree that Firefox 29 is a blatant ripoff of Google Chrome. If I wanted Google Chrome, that is exactly what I would have downloaded. That pains me not only as a devout Firefox user for nearly 10 years, but especially as I have donated over $200 to the Mozilla Foundation in that time. In other words, I have financially supported the development of a software that has become absolutely indifferent to its users' needs, and moreover, they have now resorted to copying off of their neighbor.
    I have since rolled back versions — all the way to Netscape Navigator 9 — which seems to have just about as much functionality as the bungled mess that is Firefox 29.
    I genuinely appreciate all of the time and effort that goes in to creating open-source software, and I financially support the projects that I feel adhere to the open-source philosophy. That said, Mozilla.org seems to be straying away from this philosophy, to the point where, for me, it is simply time for a change.
    Thanks for the memories, Firefox!

  • How do I get the define function back

    LOst my define and or dictionary function after the lates IOS 6 software upgrade, how do I fix this?

    Go to Settings>General>International>Language
    Change the language to one of Apples supported languages like Spanish or British English.
    Go to your notepad, type "test", press hold, select the word, and click the "define" that now appears.
    This will tell you there is no current dictionary, and prompt for one to be downloaded.
    Assure you are on a stable Wi-Fi network, and hit download.
    Once complete, go back to your language settings and switch back to your native language.
    Enjoy your dictionary feature without having to "reset" your phone.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can i get the itunes store authorization on a windows 7 laptop

    i need help big time please. i am about to either throw my laptop because itunes is not authurizing my dell windows 7 laptop

    Hello there, jeffrodgers74.
    The following Knowledge Base article goes over a few of the reasons iTunes may continually prompt for authorization:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389
    Although all of the topics are relevant, most people find the following section to be the culprit in most cases:
    Authorize using the correct account name
    The items you are trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
    Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you will need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
    Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
    If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
    If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • How do i get my itunes library on a new windows laptop?

    I need help getting my itunes library from my old pc onto my new one! when i sync the ipod a message comes up asking if i want to erase all the contents on the ipod touch which i dont want to do. i want whats on my ipod to be in my itunes library on my new pc.

    Go the Music Folder on your laptop, In there, you will find a folder called iTunes.
    You need to get a copy of that into the Music folder of your new laptop.
    As you've already run iTunes on your new computer, you will need to delete that folder on the new computer before doing this.
    Once copied across, just start iTunes up, and everything should be transferred.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I get my old Firefox back

    How can I get my old Firefox back for my Windows 7. I'm not sure what version of Firefox I had before I downloaded this new one. With this new Firefox it comes with a Yahoo search bar which I cannot stand and a lot of other buttons I don't want. With my old version I had everything the way I wanted it but now it is all gone. Please help and show me the path way back to my old Firefox.
    Thank you, Mike

    The Yahoo toolbar may have been added by an extension or other (security) software on your computer.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Command-Shift-3 and 4 works just fine on several Macs that I have here.
    Try restarting your Mac....or post in the specific support area for your Mac model....for more advice.

  • I was 3-4 updates behind on ipad. Did back-up, installed update to ipad now how do I get my purchased apps back on my ipad?

    I was 3-4 updates behind on ipad. Did back-up, installed update to ipad now how do I get my purchased apps back on my ipad? I assume they didn't back up to cloud since that came with this update. I can see all my purchased apps but no way to transfer them back to my ipad from whereever they are.  Wish itunes was more user friendly.  Help please.

    If you are running iTunes 11 and if you didn't figure this out yet, when you launch iTunes - go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top of the screen. Once you can see the sidebar, iTunes looks so much more familiar.
    The "new look" iTunes doesn't appeal all that much to me, I just want the functionality that I have always had. It's still there, its just been hidden with a lot of fluff and visual wow that I really don't care about .... Just my opinion.
