Lion compatibility with CanoScan 9900 F?

According to Canon my CanoScan 9900 F is NOT compatible with Lion. I've never had much success with Canon's software/drivers. I've always used the scanner "tool" (sorry, not savvy enough to know exactly what to call it; tool, software, driver?) that came with photo shop elements to operate my scanner.
The version of PS elements i own was for a Power PC and not compatible with my new iMac running Lion. My question is, will my scanner work with updated Photo Shop software? If not, are there any other options available to me?
Image capture doesn't  recognize my scanner, although somewhere in my journey the computer actually did see and identify the scanner by it's correct model number, under a fire wire heading I can no longer find a route to.
All help is appreciated, thanks, Steve.

The workaround described by "raback" doesn't work for Mountain Lion (10.8.2). What's more: after installing the CanoScan 8400F driver VueScan freezes on startup (force quit). Only after reinstalling the (OS X 10.6) CanoScan 9500F driver again, VueScan works as before: fine.
If your OS is 10.8 (or higher) DO NOT use the "raback" workaround! Stick with VueScan.

  • Mountain Lion & compatibility with your s'ware

    Before you upgrade to this dubiousdelevopment have a look at:

    Could be that we might have to replace a frightening amount of software!!

    I had not upgraded before I made the original coment. Took perhaps too much notice of the problems others had experienced.
    So, being aware of the lack of security updates I updated, with the help of the Call Desk as, as I really did not have the latest version of 10.6.8 I was given advice of how to get the real one.
    Worked a treat, no compatibility probs with the s'ware I have. Lucky may be. Mountain Lion fast, easily configured and controlable. Me - can't fault it.
    Best find out for yourself aye?

  • Lion compatibility with Micro Soft Office for MAC ?

    I loaded Lion but now can't access word, excel etc. Can anyone provide advice I have ten years worth of data I need to look at on a regular basis on office for mac programs.
    Thanks

    Office 2008 and 2011 run fine on Lion - but any earlier versions won't.
    Apple's iWork will open most MSOffice files and will export to MSOffice (but not always reliably).
    With Office 2008, the catch is that even though it will run in Lion, you can't install it in Lion because the installer itself won't run in Lion.
    So if you want to get hold of Office 2008, you should do so and install it BEFORE you install Lion. And keep a clone of Snow Leopard somewhere, for that day when you may need to install Office 2008 again....

  • Osx mountain lion compatibility with mso 2011

    if i buy office 2011 will it work on mountain lion when it comes out

    Hi Guido H
    I haven't upgrade my 2 machines to Mountain Lion yet for the following reason.
    1. The Mac Mini I have is used by my children, so I would not have the opportunity to test Mountain Lion proberly on et anyway.
    2. I Have Office 2011 on may Macbook Air, and I am not going to upgrade it to Mountain Lion until I know that it runs properly in Mountain Lion.
    As my home and studient version does not come with Outlook my question to you is. How does Word, Excel and Outlook run under Montain Lion? Any problems I should be aware off?
    Thanks in advance

  • Mountain Lion & compatibility with scanner software.

    Check out the Canon's support site for current drivers that work with Lion/Mountain Lion.

  • Is lion compatable with parallels desktop ?

    are there any issues with running parallels desktop on lion ?

    I am still using version 5, but I had to download a so-called "launcher", as it was advised in some forums (like with many others, Parallels 5 didn't work in the beginning for me under Lion). I believe that's just a bug from the Parallels team, probably there will be an official patch as well within the next few days.
    What Lion-specific features offers Parallels 6? Is there full screen support and auto-save like for other Lion apps? Version 5 is fine for me, but would be cool to have it "lionized".

  • Lion compatibility with iMac ?

    I have the iMac 4.1- intel core duo 2Ghz , 2 GbRam; can I run Lion ? troublefree ? only Lion will work with iCloud, MobileMe will be gone within months; so unless my'07 iMac will run Lion , I will be forced to buy a current iMac if I want to provide linkage to my "new" ('10) MacBook. Is this a case of progress leaving those behind who funded the progress ?

    Sorry, Lion will not run on an Intel core duo system. You need an Intel core 2 duo or later system.  Lion requirements are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space

  • Mountain Lion compatibility with early MacBooks

    I'm looking at buying a used MacBook, MB403LL/A. Release year 2008. This is a core 2 duo machine, and it has 4G RAM.
    On the apple site, it says that compatible MacBooks are: MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    So, would the machine above be compatible with Mountain Lion? It appears not. What would be the hardware change between 2008 and 2009 that would make it unsupported?
    Could it be that *some* MacBooks released in 2008 are not core 2 duo (perhaps just core duo) and thus cannot be upgraded, and the directive from Apple above is simplified... meaning that yes, a 2008 core 2 duo would be able to take the upgrade to Mountain Lion?
    Thanks, Cliff

  • Mountain Lion Compatibility with Xeon processors

    I have a Mac Pro with 2 * 3 GHz Intel Dual-Core Xeon Processors. When trying to download Mountain Lion I am told my computer isn't compatible, yet the require,emts suggest it should be. Any advice?

    Even though this Xeon processor configuration is 64-bit, the ROM EFI on this Mac Pro is 32-bit. Mountain Lion requires it to be 64-bit. The Quad-core Mac Pro introduced in January 2008 has a 64-bit EFI, which is why the Mountain Lion hardware specs accept this machine.

  • Mountain Lion compatibility with SPSS PASW Statistics 18 and IBM SPSS Statistics 20

    SPSS PASW Statistics 18.0 and 18.0.3
    If you find that 18.0 is troublesome with Mountain Lion, follow the advice that's given for similar troubles with Lion.
    Early indications here are that 18.0.3 (2012-09-09) – the result of PASWStatistics_1 803_Mac_Patch.dmg and IBM SPSS Statistics 18.0.3.4 Hotfix Mac.zip – is trouble-free on Build 12A269 of OS X 10.8.
    … 19
    Not tested by me.
    IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0.0
    Tested only briefly. Since a trial period has expired, I can't tell whether it's compatible.

  • Mountain Lion Compatibility With Printer.

    Macbook Pro, Updated to Mountain Lion, found that on print & scan preferences, open printer Q, lack of printer settings adjustment control only 3 buttons, on the left Delete,Pause, on the right 1, Scanner.
    Also there was no way to adjust the settings of the printer, all controls were greyed out, also I use Epson Easy Print software as well as apple software, both were greyed out, my printer was stuck on fast print which gave very poor results.
    Both my MacBook Pro and my Epson Printer are fully upto date as far as updates are concerned.
    Contacted applecare said problem was with Epson software, but problem was also in Preferences which is apple.
    I un-installed Mountain Lion, re-installed Lion, NO PROBLEMS, printer Q has 8 controls,
    Delete, Hold, Jobs, Pause, Supply Levels, Printer setup, on the left of the window, Printer, Scanner on the right.
    Both apple and Epson printer setting work perfectly, not greyed out.
    This must surely be a compatibily problem with Mountain Lion, when are apple going to correct this.
    Has anybody else noticed this problem?
    The cure must be, stay with Lion, wait for the first update patch!!!!

  • Mac OS X Lion compatibility with Iomega external hard drives

    iMac & MacBook Pro does not recognize external iomega hard drive anymore following upgrade to OS X Lion. Is there a software fix.

    I am using Time Machine to back-up to the hard drive. At one point I started receiving error messages that the hard drive was drawing power from the iMac and it was ejected.  The hard drive has its own power supply though, which is working fine. I am assuming that there is a software problem as these difficulties only started once I had upgraded to Lion.
