Is there a workaround for making CanoScan8400F scanner work with OS 10.9?

I have a Canon 8400 F scanner and a brand new IMac running OS 10.9
The scanner does not work with its original driver disk, (Apple does not support power PC )...
I tried downloading the european driver but the IMac didnt seem to like that either.
Any help would be appreciated!

You can try using Apple Image Capture located in your Applications Folder or Apple Preview, also in your Applications Folder.

  • Hello, is there a way for making a photo transparent with iPhoto are another software?

    Hello, is there a way for making a photo transparent with iPhoto are another software?

    Not with iPhoto, but different apps have different capabilities.
    There are a couple of considerations: How is this transparent image to be used? In a Deskop Publishing environment something like Pages' Instant Alpha might be useful. Or if you're trying to overlay one image on another on a photograph then some editor that supports layers would be required.
    Further, Jpegs as a format doesn't support transparency so you'll need to work ina  file format that does.
    But if you can explain what you're hoping to do we might be able to point you in a more useful direction.
    In order of price here are some suggestions for editors:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

    I don't like itunes 10 and so I'm using itunes 9. However, now my phone can't connect to itunes because it says it requires itunes 10.5 or later.  Is there a workaround for this?

    No.
    If you don't want to update to the supported software you can't use the device.

  • 10.2 crashes when I try to convert old libraries for use in the new software. Is there a workaround for this? Or will i have to continue using the previous version to complete older projects?

    Final Cut Pro X 10.2 crashes when I try to convert old libraries for use in the new software. Is there a workaround for this? Or will I have to continue using the previous version to complete older projects? the only foreseeable solution is to begin any new projects on 10.2 or importing footage on 10.2 and starting form scratch--which is something i definitely don't want to do or have time to do. ANY advice, thoughts, or opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
    Running 10.10.3 // MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013) // 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 // 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Exactly the same problem with me.
    Some other threads advice to remove fonts, clean the caches, remove add ins but nothing works consistenty, for some it looks like it works, for me it failed.
    What I did not try yet, was to move the Render files out of the malicious library to trash.

  • How can I backup my iphone 4 using iTunes 9.1.1? Is there a workaround for this?

    How can I backup my iphone 4 using iTunes 9.1.1? Is there a workaround for this? I need to backup my phone for replacement but it tells me I need 10.1 or later. All software is up to date, Operating system is 10.4.11. Thanks!

    No sorry. You need to upgrade to v10.5 Leopard (minimum) in order to sync an iPhone 4.
    iPhone minimum requirements:
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.1 or later
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access
    You can upgrade to Leopard if your Mac meets v10.5 requirements.
    Requirements for Mac OS X v10.5
    If your Mac is Intel, you can upgrade directly to Snow Leopard if your Mac meets 10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications

  • Is there a workaround for the missing global track chords?

    Is there a workaround for the missing global track chords?  i.e. will Apple loops follow the chord progression in a track?

    I found sort of a work around.  I still have Logic Pro 9.  It turns out that if you go into global tracks, analyze the chords then go back to logic pro x the chord progression is preserved.  So the information is preserved there just seems no way to create it in X.

  • Is there a workaround for websites that use "frames" when Safari does not support?

    Is there a workaround for a website that requires "frames" when Safari (5.0.6) does not support it?

    Has anyone found a work-around for this that works?
    No. Any attempt to use an unsupported network device with Time Machine will probably result in data loss, even if it seems to be working at first. If you take data protection seriously, you won't try.
    Is it possible to get Time Machine to use SMB to make the backups?
    No.

  • Will an epson photo 2400 scanner work with OSX 10.7?

    Will an epson photo 2400 scanner work with OSX 10.7?
    If so where do I get the drivers/software to run it?
    I have used it with aquire, but only in flat bed scanning.
    I am not able to use the film/slide mode anymore because the software that came with it is for 32 bit macine code.
    Any ideas?

    I realize this isn't a direct answer to your question, but I have an Epson Perfection 1670 flatbed scanner.  I plugged it into a USB port after installing Lion, and it works fine with both the Image Capture and Preview applications.  ("FIne", for me - I don't have a need for slide/transparancy scanning.  Image Capture recognizes the scanner can do it, giving two modes for transparancy scanning, but in a quick and dirty test a minute ago it didn't seem to work.  Since I don't need the capability, I'm not going to struggle with it to see what I've done wrong.)
    Good luck

  • Photoshop Elements 12 no longer see's my scanner.  So I cannot scan my pictures, help.  Windows 8.1 with HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer.  Scanner works with other programs in my PC.  Problem is PS12

    So I cannot scan my pictures, help.  Windows 8.1 with HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer.  Scanner works with other programs in my PC.  Problem is PS12

    I bought the Officejet 6500A Plus about one month and have experienced the very same problem. I tried to remedy this problem following suggestions in a number of different posts (static IP, router, firewalls etc), all to no avail. Last week I called support. The support I received by the tech over several hours and different days for a week was very good. However none of his suggestions corrected the connection issue. After today's recommended fix failed, he advised HP is aware of this issue with the 6500 and other affected printers. He claimed HP was working on a firmware upgrade. He did not know when the update would be provided. The tech also claimed HP acknowledged this problem in a written announcement. He agreed to email the announcement to me. I haven't received it. This has been the only problem I've had with the 6500
