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 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 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.

Photoshop elements 13 doesn't recognize my Epson scanner

I have a Epson Workfoce 545 wireless printer/fax/scanner and newly installed Elements 13 doesn't recognize the scanner. Do any of you in this community have a suggestion?

The scanner is NOT present in the network. The "all in one printer" that the scanner is a part of is listed, however.

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.

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!

How to get labVIEW to recognize DaqBOOK 2000A from Iotech

I've just setp my hardware and software. Does anybody now how to get LabView to start "talking" with this IOTech product, DaqBook 2000A or similiar IOTech hardware?

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 ipad to recognize a new Apple ID

My ipad recognizes an old email address that I had when I bought the ipad as my user id. I changed my apple id but the ipad still brings up the little sign in box for iCloud for example or if I open an app like Facetime. It brings up the sign in box with the old email address ID. I can't get around it. It won't accept my password. How do I get the ipad to delete that old address and start recognizing my new Apple ID?

How to get itunes to recognize my phone

Connect your phone using a USB cable to a USB port on your MacBook. Do not connect to a hub, connect directly to your computer. The iPhone should appear in iTunes within a few seconds.

How to get Lion to recognize my SSD?

I have a new iMac with both a 250GB solid-state disk and a 2TB hard disk. When I tried to replicate my Powerbook on the iMac, Migration Assistant just looked at the SSD and said there wasn't enough room, not realizing there was a 2TB disk as well. So I migrated my applications and settings to the SSD and then did a straight copy (using the Powerbook as a target disk for the iMac) of my Documents folder. But now I'm having problems (such as an empty desktop, which is the subject of my other post this morning). I now think I know why: Lion says my startup disk is the 2TB hard disk. When I go to Startup Disk system settings, Lion doesn't recognize the existence of the SSD. So two questions:
1. How do I tell Lion there's an SSD?
2. Failing that, is there any to tell Migration assistant to use the 2TB hard disk for everything, not the SSD (because, sigh, Migration Assistant doesn't recognize the existence of the 2TB hard disk)?

If I were you, I would open a service request with Apple regarding this problem. You are permitted 90 days of free tech support for new Macs, if I recall correctly, so why not use it?

How to get Mail to recognize "Dad"?

In my Address Book, I have my father marked down as his real name. How can I get Mail to automatically fill his e-mail address in a new message when I type in "Dad" without deleting his name, or do I just replace his name with Dad?

Use Card/Add Field/Nickname on his entry in your address book, then type "Dad" into the new field.

How to get mac to recognize external HD

Hi. I just got my first Mac! I plugged in the external HD into the USB port and nothing is happening. How to I get the mac to see the HD? Thanks!

If you can't connect the Mac and PC up on a network, would it be possible for you to copy the files on your external back on to a PC? Then you could erase the external and set it up so it's recognised by both the PC and the Mac. You could copy everything back on to the external then on to your Mac and you'd be able to use the external for future PC to Mac transfers too.
A bit convoluted I know, maybe someone else has a better suggestion?
