How to get PE6 to recognize Epson scanner again?

Another forum told me the solution to having bogus empty folders appear in my Library Preferences folder daily was to trash the TWAIN for my Epson Perfection 1240U scanner. They said it wasn't needed anyway. Well, they were right about the solving the Epson bug. But they were wrong about it not being needed! The scanner no longer worked. I downloaded the correct driver and TWAIN again from Epson and reinstalled, twice. It never appears in Elements when I go to Import - where it used to - along with 2 PICT sources and Frame from Video. I can't seem to find where the installer put the driver and TWAIN or where that folder is in Elements with the four files in it.
I can use the Epson Scan software separately but have to go thru many more steps now to find the scanned (numbered) image and then process it in Elements 6. How do I get it to appear at Imports in Elements 6 again as it used to before this debacle?  Not getting much help from Epson.

Is anyone going to assist me on this?  I have now spent hours on the phone to both Epson and Adobe support with no results. Neither one seems able to tell me exactly WHERE Epson installs the TWAIN and where the Elements IMPORT folder is - so I can put all the software together and hope it works again! (My searches cannot find either.)  I have established that although Elements 6 will not recognize the Epson scanner in IMPORTS on either of my Macs it will recognize it in Elements 3, which I upgraded from a year ago. But after the upgrade to 6 it worked fine until I was foolishly instructed to trash the TWAIN. So it appears to be a bug between v. 3 and v.6 and perhaps the latest upgrade to Leopard.

  • How to get Adobe to recognize my scanner

    I've upgraded to PSE 6 for the Mac. I still have PSE 4 on my machine also.
    For some reason, PSE 6 does not recognize my scanner, but PSE 4 does.
    I also have Acrobat Professional which I bought so that I could make pdf files from my scanner, and it doesn't recognize my scanner either.
    How do I get both PSE 6 and Acrobat Professional to recognize my scanner?
    Thanks,
    Carole

    I finally got PSE 6 to recognize my scanner and also Photoshop CS3, but I still can't get Acrobat 8 Professional to recognize it.  There is no Rosetta box for Acrobat.
    Is there any way to get Acrobat to recognize the scanner?
    Thanks for all your help!

    I want to Import from Scanner. How can I get my scanner to appear under Devices?
    We use Apple's Image Capture framework for our scanning support, so your scanner should appear in the Image Capture application. If you do not see your scanner, you might try contacting Apple (AppleCare for your Mac) to see if they can help get your scanner working with Image Capture. Once that's sorted, it should also work with PDFpen.

  • How to get FCP to recognize an animation sequence, not individual clips ?

    Hello All;
    Could someone tell me how to get FCP to recognize a .png animation sequence (Exported from After-Effects) ? When I place the directory or files onto the timeline, I get a project 27 minutes long, rather than 10 seconds like it should be. I know this must be easy and I'm just missing something.
    Tim

    You exported a .png image sequence from After Effects?
    Three choices:
    1) In Final Cut Pro, click anywhere in the 27 minute long timeline and type Command + A to select all the clips. Once they are all selected Control Click on any one of the selected clips, and from the drop down menu choose Duration. Set the duration each clip is supposed to be ( 1 frame? 3 frames?) and click OK.
    2) In Final Cut Pro, go to the menu Final Cut Pro > User Preferences. When The User Preferences open, click on the Editing Tab. Set the Still/Freeze duration to the duration you want for each of the stills in your image sequence and click OK. You will then need to re-import the stills, and they will now each be the new duration. This does not work on the stills you have already imported- you need to import the stills again.
    3) Open Quicktime Pro (Quicktime Player 7) and go to the menu File > Open Image Sequence. . .
    Navigate to the first frame of your image sequence and click Open. You will be asked to pick your frame rate. Set that and click OK.
    When it opens, go to the menu File > Export and the Save Exported File As . . . window will open. Choose the codec you want for your animation (Pro Res, most likely) and, determine a location for the file and click Save. The image sequence will be exported as a Movie in the frame rate and codec you chose. Import that movie into FCP to edit or composite.

  • How to get mac to recognize thumb drive?

    how to get mac to recognize thumb drive?

    Launch the Disk Utility application. Does the thumb drive appear in the list of volumes on the left side? If not, try using a different USB port. If the issue still occurs then try restarting the system. If the thumb drive appears in Disk Utility check out how it is formatted. Do you have data on it that you need?  If it can be erased try formatting it with Disk Utility using the Mac OS Extended (journaled) format. If the thumb drive will be used in a Mac and PC environment then take a look at this article for additional information on choosing the right format.

  • How to get PS to recognize my Epson scanner

    I have PS CS4 for Mac (running Snow Leopard), and am trying to figure out how to Import or scan something into PS.  With my Windows machine I used to use Epson TWAIN from the Import menu.  The only Import options I have on my Mac version are: Video Frames to Layers, Anti-aliased PICT..., and PICT resource..., none of which are what I need.
    I have updated Mac OS after attaching my scanner and it did download some Epson drivers, but still is not showing up in PS.  I have used VueScan sucessfully but don't want to have to pay for that if I have the ability to import through PS.

    Well I heard back from Epson.  Seems they don't make Snow Leopard drivers or application specifically for the Perfection 2450 but they said that the older drivers would work.  So I downloaded and installed them.  After I did I got an Epson scan icon in my Apps folder.  When I run it however it does nothing, no interface, nothing but the words Epson Scan on the top Mac menu bar and when I mouse over that to try to do something I just get the rainbow cursor.  I opened PS and still no other items avail in the Import menu.  So how do you go about enabling TWAIN or whatever for the Mac so that the option will show up in PS?  I'm a Mac newbie.
    I did have a need to scan something so I bought VueScan which worked and I was scanning in about 10 seconds after installing it, but I really want to figure out how to get it to work in PS
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • How to get Adobe Acrobat to find scanner?

    Acrobat > "create PDF from scanner" used to bring up an Epson driver for my Perfection 1640 SU and all was well. For some reason the driver disappeared and now Acrobat finds no scanner at all. I downloaded a new 10.6 scanner from Epson but the scanner still doesn't show in Acrobat's dialog box.
    I tried preview but it scans to only 1-page documents, which I can then stitch together with Acrobat; however, a 5-page B&W document done this way is 25 megs, unacceptably large.
    How do I either get Acrobat to see the scanner, or, alternatively, get Preview to do some useful work? Thanks.

    You might be able to purchase copies of this long-discontinued
    software from a special broker.

  • Acrobat x pro doesn't recognize epson scanner

    Acrobat x pro doesn't recognize my epson perfection 1670 scanner. Other applications recognize this scanner. What can I do?
    All software and drivers are updated.
    Acrobat x pro ver10.1.4
    Mac os x 10.8.1, mountian lion

    Twain Sane can be downloaded HERE.  Others have recommended it as well and it is a viable option if your scanner is no longer supported under Mountain Lion.
    It is a bit of work to install and configure, but the developer says a preference pane is available and makes it a bit easier. Check out the site for instructions on how to install and configure it.

  • I have a Windows 7 Pro OEM disk that can install either the 32 or 64 bit version. When using version 5.0.3 of Bootcamp, I keep getting the message that it is a 32 bit disk.  Any ideas how to get it to recognize the 64 bit version?

    I have a Windows 7 Pro OEM disk that can install either the 32 bit or 64 bit versions.  When trying to setup a dual boot for my Mac Mini using Bootcamp version 5.0.3, I get the message that I have the 32 bit version of Windows.  Any ideas on how I can get it to recognize the 64 bit version so that I can partition my "Mini"?

    If by "OEM" you mean the disk came with another Win computer, it won't work. You need either a full retail verison or the "System Builders' Edition." I used the latter for my BC installation and it worked flawlessly and was marked as 64-bit--no mention of 32-bit.

  • How to get iTunes to recognize an Italian album (not as Spanish)

    I have a number of albums by my favorite Italian artists (Eros Ramazzotti, Nek, Laura Pausini, et al.). These artists habitually release their Italian-language CDs first, and then record and release the same CD (i.e., song list) in Spanish.
    However, when here in the States I insert the original Italian-language albums, about half the time the album is given the Spanish title and song list, which irks my sense of order. Does anyone know how to get things right, short of my manually having to type in each album's song list? (Peeved: I'm moving to the Apple/Mac world form the PC world, and Windows Media Player at least gives me a choice between the Italian title/songlist and the Spanish one).
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    iTunes does not recognize cameras, it only recognizes iDevices.
    Windows computers could careless that it's a phone or iPod or whatever, they will only recognize it as a camera.
    Plug the device into the computer.
    Lauch iTunes.
    Sync whatever you like to it.
    If you have issues, clearly explain exactly what is happening.

    You can get the Agilent drivers from Agilent - where else?
    Once you have installed the drivers, in MAX you have to enable tulip support for the non-NI controller to be recognized. Expand the software listing, select NI-VISA, select the VISA Options tab, select General Setting>Passports. Check the box for NI-VISA Support for Tulip.
    p.s. It's not a 'cord' or 'wire'. It's a GPIB controller. There are numerous GPIB tutorials available on the web. You should google that before you start doing any LabVIEW programming.

  • How to get CS6 to open Epson 3170 scanner in professional mode? [was:question]

    I use an Epson 3170 scanner how do i get cs6 to open it in professional mode?

    I recommend that you check on epson's website and see if there is forum that you could ask that question on. As that is very specific question toward epson and requires someone who owns that brand to help you.
    Also let them know what version of photoshop you have and what OS you are using, as drivers are specific to each OS.
