IBook won't recognize Epson 1660 scanner software

I can't get my iBook to recognize the scanner software to the Epson 1660 scanner. I saw this topic posted in February but no replies. Has anyone figured out why this problem exists? The driver is for OS 10.3x which is what I'm running on this iBook G4. Thanks, Cari Ferraro

make sure its plugged into the usb port and not into the airport express port.
had same problem with a brother printer. Only recognizes scanner software/printer utilities etc when the printer is plugged directly into the computer via usb.
can still print to printer when plugged into airport extreme via wireless but no access to scanner functions, fax, printer utilities etc.

  • IBook G4 won't recognize Epson 1260 scanner

    I've recently went from a B/W G3 running OS9.2 (the scanner worked fine on the G3) to the iBook and for some reason after installing the new driver, I get an error message saying that there is no scanner available. I've made sure all the connections are good. I have tried to use Classic mode and I get the same message. I have also switched the USB ports and nothing has helped. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • How do I get Photoshop CS3 to recognize my Epson 1660 scanner?

    I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I can't get my Epson 1660 scanner to show up under "Import." Photoshop is running in Rosetta and worked fine on my old MacBook. The scanner works via Image Capture but I want to use it through Photoshop. I tried re-installing the driver ("ICA scanner driver for Image Capture") off the Epson website but no luck.

    If you "just got a new Mac", you are probably not running in Rosetta, as Rosetta was deprecated in Lion, Mac OS 10.7.  That may be your problem, especilly if you migrated your Photoshop from an older computer.
    The migration software copies your CS3 preferences, which include Rosetta, but there is no Rosetta in Lion.  There's a file you need to delete, so keep an eye on this thread:

  • I updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and now it won't recognize my Canon Scanner LiDE 210.

    I updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and now it won't recognize my Canon Scanner LiDE 210.
    Is there a fix for this? It worked with CS6 and CC just fine.

    Did you turn off the "show transform controls" option in the move tool?
    It sounds like you were using that previously.
    And you can always transform by using the Free Transform command (command/control T).

  • After installing "Maverick" update m Epson V300 scanner software does to work anymore. Epson does not seem to have a compatible driver

    After installing "Maverick" update my Epson V300 scanner software does not work anymore. Epson does not seem to have a compatible driver (yet?).

    It's not just scanners, my WACOM graphic tablet no longer works, am told by WACOM support that Maverick will not recognise it as it is too old!!! Worked perfectly with X 10.8 but not any longer - am well cheesed off as its going to cost me a few bob for a new WACOM!!! Thanks Apple

  • IBook won't recognize iPod (yes, another one . . .)

    A while ago, my 20GB, third generation iPod stopped working properly when connected to my iBook. When it was connected to the iBook, it would transfer a few songs, and then iTunes would freeze. Disconnecting the iPod and reconnecting it would cause a few more songs to be transferred, followed by another freeze.
    I recently went through my iTunes library and editted the genres on most of my songs, so there were about 4,000 songs to be updated. When I hooked the iPod up to the computer, it copied over a few hundred songs, and then froze again. Each time I would reconnect it, it would transfer about four songs, until it eventually stopped transferring any songs -- it would just immediately freeze. I tried removing the songs that it was freezing on from my library, but this didn't work.
    I tried resetting my iPod, but that didn't work. I ran the Disk Check, but that told me that my iPod was fine. Then I used the iPod updater to restore it to factory settings.
    Now, the iBook doesn't recognize the iPod at all. Connecting the iPod to the iBook causes the iPod to display the "Do not disconnect" screen, but it doesn't appear on the desktop and it won't appear in iTunes. If I unplug it, I am treated with the message informing me that it has no unreadable volumes, and offers me the options of Ejecting and Initializing.
    I've looked through this forum and the Support listings, and tried whatever I could find, but nothing has seemed to work. Is there anything that I'm failing to do?

    Okay . . . after shutting the computer down for a few hours and turning it back on, iTunes is suddenly willing to recognize my iPod. I've started moving my music back onto the iPod, but it's still freezing every so often, so I have to either force quit iTunes or disconnect the iPod to continue. I'm sure that this isn't the best idea, but is there a better way to accomplish this?

  • IBook Won't Recognize Charge in Battery

    My iBook, a Revision B non-FireWire machine, is experiencing a very unusual problem in that it won't recognize the charge in a battery.
    Like many iBooks, this one no longer will charge a battery. I purchased a new battery from OWC in the fall and found it wasn't charging--yet one of my two decade-old batteries was still initiating the amber light (something this battery did not). I sent the battery back and received another one, which gave me the same symptoms.
    I performed the oft-discussed routines for resetting power management systems on iBooks, resetting the PMU, PRAM, and NVRAM. I tried each procedure several times and even "drained" the capacitor by leaving it unplugged/unbatteried for 30 minutes. The computer still wouldn't charge the battery--there was no attempt made according to the symbols in the control strip. (My iBook runs 9.1 although I do have a copy of Jaguar I could install on it--but at the moment I have the extra space filled with VPC and Win2K). I also tried Apple's battery reset extension.
    Figuring I could get away without built-in charging, as this is currently a laptop I only use on an occasional basis, I bought a VST charger. The battery charged up fine. When I put it in the iBook, I got maybe 10-15 seconds of battery life.
    The main problem here: *even with a known charged battery, the computer won't see any charge in that battery*. It's fine by me if the computer doesn't want to charge, as I have the VST charger, but I do want it to work off the battery.
    Some history, in case any of this is relevant: I purchased this computer new in August 2000 with two batteries. The original yo-yo adapter shorted out five years later. It took about three weeks for a replacement to come, and that replacement was an OWC house brand charger (not an Apple). I depleted both batteries, which were still getting close to their original capacity, during the time between the adapter's failure and the arrival of the new adapter. Neither battery charged on the new adapter, although I blamed this on a combination of drainage and age. I later replaced the power adapter with another Apple, but the batteries had been drained for too long to charge back up. Neither will charge in the VST station, although the OWC battery does.
    The computer runs OS 9.1, has 192MB RAM, and has not seen a fresh system install in about three years. It has an Airport card installed and has no history of trouble outside of the shorted yo-yo and the inability to charge/recognize batteries.
    I've worked on tons of Macs and have seen far crazier problems, all of which have been solvable, but this one is impossible even for this veteran Apple user to figure out. Every known remedy has failed, and I'm wondering if perhaps it's an internal problem relating to the PRAM capacitor--which appears as though it would have failed in 2005 if it indeed failed.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated--although this is by no means my main machine, I still use it for a few OS 9 programs I haven't bothered to upgrade and definitely want to use it without the AC adapter for the first time in nearly six years.

    It's a good idea to start your own discussion when you have a different problem than the one discussed in a particular thread.

    Which exact iBook model is it?
    You can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    If it's one of the older, colored iBooks, you need to update the firmware on it before attempting to boot from an OS X disc or install OS X (as mentioned above).

    Is the Jaguar CD the full retail version or a disc that came with another Mac? If it's a disc that came with another Mac, it probably won't work with the iBook.

  • Itunes on my Macbook (circa 2008) won't recognize newest ipod touch softwar

    I have a macbook from April of 2008 which has the latest version of itunes 10.10.01. I have apps that i've purchased from the itunes store (including a $20 german-english translator that i DESPERATELY need for class). I recently restored my ipod to factory settings because I was experiencing issues with it charging properly.
    Now i've had the german app for over a year before the restore and it worked just fine. But now my computer and itunes keeps telling me that the app needs the latest version of ipod touch software in order to sync the app. When I click "check for updates" on the ipod screen it claims that my ipod touch software is up to date - but lists it as 2.2.1!!
    I know that the lastest version of ipod software is MUCH later than 2.2.1 but I can't seem to convince my itunes of this. Someone help me out please! I've done everything I can think of but my itunes is up to date and i NEED the app.
    Much appreciated!!

    As mentioned by IIIaass, connect to iTunes and check for updates for your ipod, see how to here: http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/software-update/
    If iTunes says that 2.2.1 is the latest software for your ipod, this may imply that iTunes recognizes your ipod as 1st generation ipod. See also this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052 and try if you can update to iOS3.1

    Try using Image Capture.

  • Itunes won't recognize ipod after ipod software update

    I have an Ipod Classic.  My laptop is a PC running Windows XP.  I have the latest ITunes software (10.5.2.11)
    After updating my Ipod software through Itunes, Itunes no longer reads my Ipod.
    When I connect the Ipod through the USB cord, the "Connected" screen appears on the Ipod, then the Ipod instantly goes to the "OK to disconnect" screen with the white disconnect bar, without prompting.  All during this time, Itunes never recognizes my Ipod. 
    Also on the "My Computer" screen, the Ipod is only recognized for the brief instant that the Ipod "Connected" screen appears.  When the Ipod goes to the "OK to disconnect" screen, the Ipod is no longer recognized on the "My Computer" screen.
    I'm assuming restoring my Ipod to factory settings is the best way to fix this.  But how do I restore my Ipod if Itunes will never recognize it?

    Itunes still does not recognize my Ipod and disconnects it immediately, even after disabling the firewall and anti-virus protection.
    Any other thoughts?

  • My iBook won't recognize my combo drive

    My computer is acting like no combo drive exists. There are no drivers installed and my 'about this mac' tells me nothing is recognized. I put a disk in and it tells me "The disk cannot be used because the disk drive is not supported. (error code0x80020025)" What do I do?! Thank folks, you're great!
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    That's what the tech guy over the phone said to do. Well when I took out my extra ram the problem was solved! I then decided to put the ram back in and test it and it was still solved! So I think unpluging the power and taking the battery out resets something. Try your old stick of ram - it might still work...

  • Ibook won't recognize certain CD-Rs (need help quick)

    I used my work PC to burn a CD-R ("Corporate Express" 700MB/80 min, 52x compatible). The disc includes a Powerpoint presentation and a few jpegs. My iBook sounds like it's trying to read it but nothing pops up in the Finder or Desktop. I see an un-named 35MB file in the Disc Utilities area but can't access anything. Assuming the disc is fine, is this a Windows/Mac compatibility issue or a Mac/CD compatibility issue ? Anything I can do?

    Carteberry:
    a couple of questions/suggestions:
    1. What version of PowerPoint was the PC using?
    2. Which version is the Mac using?
    3. Can the CD be safely ejected?
    4. Can you successfully mount this CD on your PC?
    5. Can you successfully burn CDs on your iBook?
    6. Can you mount various media on your iBook?
    7. Have you tried various troubleshooting techniques, such as resetting the PMU, zapping PRAM, etc?
    7. Is this a first occurence, or have similar things happpened in the past?
    8. Which iBook model are you using, and what drive does it have?
    9. What OS are you using? 10.2? 10.3? 10.4?

  • Ibook won't recognize external hard drive

    I have a ibook G3 with OS 10.2.8 and a 20G hard drive. I have used up all of my hard drive, and I need to expand my memory, so I bought a Western Digital 120GB USB drive. When I connected it the disk would spin but would not mount on my desktop or in my finder. I returned it, thinking it was the drive, and got a SimpleTech 60G drive. I connected it, but although the disk is spinning it will not mount either. The disk is not showing up in disk utility or on my desktop. It is showing up in my system profiler.
    I can get an external power source for the one I have (it is USB bus powered), but I don't think that is the problem, becasue the WD drive had a external power source and it did the same thing.
    What should I do?

    Hi, Erin. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Start up from your OS X Install CD and see if the drive is seen in Disk Utility from there. If so, try formatting the drive to Mac OS HFS+ with the Disk Utility on the Install CD.
