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.

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 !

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.

Load the drivers and you should then be able to add it in Print Center.

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

Launchpad keeps losing folder setup after Mountain Lion upgrade

Hi experts !
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I've noticed an irritating issue with Mountain Lion... Launchpad loses the folder organisation I set up every couple of days!
I can restore the folders from launchpad backup and it will be fine for a short period but, seemingly randomly, it resets to individual items. When this happens if I look in System Prefs>Launchpad all the items are shown individually and ticked.
All the apps launch ok but this is just irritating as it's a pain to scroll through the screens to find the app I want ( yes I know I could use Launchpad search but the point of folders is to make it simpler ! )
I've looked in system log for any error string with "Launchpad" but nothing.
Any ideas... anyone else suffered from this?
Cheers
Iain

Epson scanner isn't communicating

Hi,
I have been using an Epson perfection 1200U scanner for a while now until yesterday I went to scan artwork (using Photoshop 6.0) but couldn't. Two error messages came up (with red hand icon):
"Problem communicating with the scanner. Function not implemented."
Then another: "Could not complete the import command because of a problem with the scanner." After the messages then my imac freezes and I always have to force quit. Lamp on my scanner went from green (which is normal) to a still red! Never seen it light up red before. It says that the interface setup is wrong in my scanner's mannual if a red light appears.
I have unplugged and plugged everything back in but the error still occurs!
Previously, I have had quite a few strange things happening to my imac recently including a flashing '?' in icon folder at startup (happened for the first time). So I had to reinstall the system software. Could this be a reason for the scanner not communicating properly? I don't think the scanner is broken, perhaps applications have been misplaced or moved about somewhere without me knowing (can this happen?). Or it could be the USB cable that might have died. I just don't know why this has happened...I have never experienced this problem before.
Can someone please help as I am in desperate need of scanning a lot of urgent work.
Many thanks,
Hayley

Hi Robbie, thanks for your reply.
No, it isn't actually the first scan since I had to reinstall the system software (it's probably about the second or third).
I haven't got the original scanner's driver, so when we installed it 4 years ago, we just downloaded the driver from the Epson website (which I have copied onto a cd) but it seems that it is still installed.
Could it be that a file (relating to Epson scanner) has been placed (for some odd reason) somewhere else perhaps? Does anything actually need to be placed in the Extensions for it to function (which I need to know about)?
Oooh, I have just noticed that the 'EPSON Scanner Monitor Setup' icon has moved into the apple scroll bar (top left) which I'm sure wasn't there before! Could that be the problem?
I need expert help as I am still pretty clueless regarding files/folders/extensions and where everything should be placed for the mac to behave itself wisely. There are generally quite a few page icons on my hd which I haven't got a clue as to what they are and whether I should delete or just leave! I just need to make sure that everything is placed (scanner files) where it should be.
The other problem could be that the scanner's USB lead is dead, but how can I tell? Also, I forgot to mention that my USB hub port isn't working either (well, the lights don't come on) even when I plug the power adapter in. I have already tried plugging the scanner's USB lead directly into one of the iMac's hubs, but still no luck.
I have a feeling the problem is something to do with the data on my mac e.g a file has been placed where it shouldn't be. Like I said previously, I am positive it is not actually the scanner that is broken.
Can anyone help me further? I would be so grateful if anyone could sort this problem out.
Thanks

Compatibility of epson scanner w/ intel imac

I have 2 new intel imacs, as well as a G4 imac. I'm trying to connect my new Epson scanner (Perfection 4990 Photo). When installing the software, it is looking for a classic environment. The online drivers from Epson's website seem to be for v10.4.4, and I'm running 10.4.10. Does anyone know whether this Epson scanner is just plain incompatible with the intel steel imacs? I have tried to contact Epson in various ways, all with no success. I'm a graphic designer and have previously had success w/ Epson scanners, but I'm tearing my hair out and ready to pack it up and return it for another brand. Their lack of support is outrageous. Does anyone share this experience or have any advice??? I'd appreciate it.

What do you mean that it is looking for the classic environment?
Are you able to open the .dmg successfully?
BTW, this is the discussion area for the much older iMac G3 CRT. You should post future questions in the Intel iMac discussion area.
