Lion does not recognize hp scanner on mac mini

After upgrading my 4Gig Mac Mini to Lion, it no longer recognizes my HP Scanjet 5370C? 
HP does not seem to offer an upgraded driver (yet).
Does anyone have experience with this?
Does Mac provide any assistance?

HP seems to be getting worse at issuing new drivers for their products to support new Mac operating systems. They have even failed to issue updates for models they original said they would. Saying that I believe this is quite an old model of scanner i.e. several years old, and I would not expect even normally an updated driver for such an old model.
Your options therefore are either to buy the third-party scanning software VueScan which does I believe still support this model see http://www.hamrick.com/ or to buy a completely new scanner. These days USB scanners are so cheap this is not as painful as it sounds.

  • Lion does not recognized HP Scanner

    Lion does not recognized HP Scanner.  Lion initially recognized the scanner and it worked perfectly for months.  All of a sudden communications with the scanner stopped. I have checked the USB cable and it is working properly.  I am using Bootcamp and when I boot in Windows the scanner and computer (iMac) work perfectly.  I have downloaded, removed and reinstalled the HP software and update for Lion. When I go into System Preferences > Print/Scan, It sees all other printers and scanners including another HP printer scanner.

    Hi.
    what's your printer/scanner model #? If RRFS' suggestions fail to resolve your issue: try removing the HP drivers from /Library/Printers folder then with device connected directly to your computer, check for software updates, this will push HP software/drivers to your system - install them.
    "do not install drivers from printer/scanner disc"
    After installation, make sure the devices, both printer and scanner show up in system preferences > printers - try scanning. Also check with a native Application like image capture, see if its recognizing your scanner.

  • After downloading lion does not recognize blank discs or dvd´s cannot burn anything

    I downloaded Lion and now my mac does not recognize any blank cd or dvd and I cannot burn anything, not with Toast 10, or with iDvd still not recognized.  Can someone help me??

    Hello
    I have been trying to fix a similar issue on my wife's PowerBookG4. I cannot pin point when it started, but she noticed it a couple weeks ago when she tried burning a disc. We have come to discover that her drive will no longer mount any discs at all (blank or otherwise burned discs or software). If I had to make a guess it had to have started in the last month or so after some recent update. Maybe 10.5.2? I am not sure.
    I am getting extremely frustrated with Apple though on this matter because I have been browsing multiple forums and seeing this exact issue over and over again and nobody seems to have a solution or correct diagnostic for it.
    I have tried zapping PRAM, I have tried many types of discs, brands, etc. and nothing works. I know this is a Software issue, it has to be. There are a LOT of people reporting this issue. If necessary I will start linking to all the different posts that I found in the last few days.
    Please post some help, ASAP. This has been a major inconvenience and I cannot believe that Apple hasn't discovered the problem with how many people have been reporting it.
    Thanks

  • Mountian Lion does not recognize Yosemite in Start up disk

    Greetings All,
    I recently installed Yosemite on the partition of my HD (1TB) I ran Mavericks on.
    On another partition of the same HD I run Mountian Lion (I use Pro Tools 9.06 on it).
    When working within Mountain Lion, I used to switch to Mavericks (and vice versa) via System Preferences / Start up disk. Now Mountain Lion apparently does not recognize Yosemite as a bootable disk: in System Preferences / Start up disk Yosemite does not appear (as Mavericks used to do).
    Does anyone know what's the cause of Yosemite not being available as Start up disk in System Preferences in Mountain Lion?
    Kind regards,
    Gerrit
    MacBook Pro mid 2010
    2.4 dual core intel cpu
    1 TB HD; 3 partitions: Mountain Lion; Yosemite; Data
    8 GB RAM

    Your hard disk drive is shown divided up into three partitions: Mountain Lion, Yosemite, and the Data partition, all of which are indented in the list on the left in Disk Utility. The "media" on which the partitions exist (your Western Digital hard drive device, which is not indented), is shown in the traditional configuration we've known for years (so I apologize for introducing "Logical Volume Groups" to the discussion). It's been my experience that sometimes, installation of Yosemite will take the partition arrangement you have and convert it into a Logical Volume Group which becomes much more difficult to work with, and much, much more difficult to explain.

  • Image capture does not recognize Canon Scanner

    I have two Canon Scanners, a Canoscan 8800F and a Canoscan LiDE 60. Image Capture does not recognize either of these. Both worked with Mountain Lion.

    This user found some success acutally using *older* drivers. While that sounds odd, it might be worth a try: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23759017#23759017
    I used to have a LIDE 60 - it is a great little machine. Good luck!

  • Lion does not recognizes the superdrive as external drive

    Hello,
    After having replaced my superdrive for a SSD in my macbook, I look for a solution to retrieve the original superdrive in Lion.
    the superdrive is now contained in a slim box firstcom. Each time i plug the drive via USB, it starts normally but i have no software able to detect it (even VLC)
    I already did this method but with no success : http://macenstein.com/default/2011/07/how-to-get-your-external-super-drive-worki ng-in-lion/
    That would be great if somebody can give me some help to solve it.
    Thank you for your responses.

    I do not think, that replacing the superdrive by another drive is a hack. It probably does not influence the warranty. Changing the HDD by a another HDD or SSD does void your warranty, I think.
    Can you not even "mount" the external superdrive with Disk Utility?
    But I have another question for you: do you use the SSD for the OS? If yes: why did you not put it in the place of the HDD and the HDD in the superdrive slot (if both are the 2.5" type)? Because with earlier MBP's the Superdrive Sata connection has a lower speed than the HDD Sata connection, which means that you can have even more speed advantages by putting the SSD in the HDD place and place the slower HDD in the Superdrive location.
    But, like ds said, on Bmer's forum you will certainly find the answers on your issue.

  • OS X Lion does not recognize the Panasanic TM650 internal memory

    Have a TM650 Panasonic video camera with internal memory and an SD card. When connection the camera to the iMac with OS X Lion machine the SD card is recognized in the Finder, but not the internal memory. When running Windows XP on the same iMac with Parallels, the internal memory and SD card are recognized and the video files can be copied to the computer. Connecting the camera to a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard the internal memory and SD card are both recognized, and iMovie can load the movies without any problem. Also connected the camera to a Mac Mini with Lion and again the same, the internal memory of the camera is not recognized. As this indicates a problem with OS X Lion was wondering if anybody has seen similar issues and/or have recommendations to get around or fix this issue?
    Nico.

    I did a clean install for troubleshooting and I wanted it to stay that way, so Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant were out of the question. I wanted to transfer my iTunes library and purchases and to be able to sync my iPhone as before. Called Apple and the rep said the only paths were the Assistants or wipe the phone and resync with the new library losing all app data in the process. Sensing the rep may be a bit obtuse, I emailed Apple and got a call back from another friendly rep who promptly emailed this to me:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    I can attest this method works, and the key part may be this one:
    If you backed your iOS device up to iTunes, back up your devices on the new computer or manually transfer the backups from your old computer. The backups belong in:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

  • HT204388 LCD tv does not work with trackpad on Mac mini

    My Mac mini is connected to my tv on the Jimi to Jimi and the trackpad and the keyboard of not work right
    A fix for this ?

    Please provide more information.
    First, I have no idea what "Jimi to Jimi" means. This is probably just something you need to explain to me; a Google search didn't turn up anything useful.
    You said that the keyboard and trackpad aren't working right. What does this mean, exactly? Regardless, the monitor you use should have no effect on the function of your other peripherals.

  • Wireless keyboard does not auto setup with a mac mini

    I have just bought a mac mini and am trying to set it up, the only keyboard I have is the apple wireless keyboard. I have switched the Mac on and it finds the "magictrack pad" but does not seem to find the key board. The keyboard light flashes for the the 3 minutes looking for something to pair with - I have managed to pair it with my iPad (and remove the pairing - afterwards) but it does not auto-pair with the "new" Mac. The problem is that I cannot go any further (to allow me to complete the full setup procedure) without filling in the information that is required and I cannot fill in the information required without a keyboard. I do not have a USB (or any other keyboard) so I seem to be a little stuck. - Any ideas would be gratefully received.
    Is there any way of connecting a PC laptop to the Mac Mini and use the keyboard on the PC?

    Not sure what your process was but try this.
    Make sure the Mini is off. Hold down the button
    on the keyboard to make sure it is off.   Next
    start the Mini and as soon as you hear the
    start up chime, press the power button on the
    keyboard.  Be sure not to press any other keys.
    For what ever reason, timing is critical with the
    keyboard pairing at boot time.  This is only an
    issue when doing things that require a keyboard
    at boot.  Once paired, it connects fine when normally
    booting.

  • Monitor does not come out of sleep Mac-Mini Mini-DVI to Dual  DVI-D cable

    I have an August 2009 Mac-Mini that I'm using with an Apple supplied Mini-DVI to DVI adapter along with a DVI-D Dual Link Cable connect to a Sceptre X7XV-Naga+ LCD monitor.
    The monitor is going into sleep mode on its own with no way to disable this feature on the monitor itself. I've disabled sleep mode on the Mac-Mini in the power setting in System Preferences.
    When in sleep mode and I move the mouse or press a key, the monitor will not come out of sleep mode. From other posts, I read that the issue might be that I wasn't using a Dual-Link DVI-D cable, so I bought one and installed such a cable. That has not resolved the problem. The monitor will not come out of sleep mode. When I have the monitor connected with a mini-display port to VGA adapter instead of a DVI-D cable, it will come out of sleep mode every time.

    I know it's a year later, but I'm not finding much through search.
    I have the same exact problem.  Difference being I'm using an iMac with 10.7.5.
    Same video board and monitor - ATI Radeon HD 6750M video card connected via DisplayPort to Samsing S24A850DW.
    I've tried two different mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort cables and no change.
    I think I read that 10.8.3 might fix the issue.  Anyone that can confirm that, or has another solution?

  • Wireless keyboard stopped working caps lock light does not come on but on mac mini unable to log in

    Any help out there would be appreciated. Never had this problem before until now.. Mac mini was asleep. pressed space bar on keyboard.. machine woke up now i can't type anything. restarted the machine and now i can't log in. can only do it through my mbp with screen sharing.

    For troubleshooting and emergency booting where BT may not
    work, a wired USB keyboard is recommended, as spare/backup.
    A windows keyboard can be OK to use, if you don't have one
    and end up borrowing one from a neighbor, see link to compare.
    If you are familiar with windows or also use BootCamp, there
    is an article about keyboard use and mapping those k/b here:
    •BootCamp: About keyboards and key assignment for MS Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5636
    I've almost always had at least one extra, new or spare keyboard.
    Good luck!

  • Photoshop CS3 does not recognize the scanner Epson Perfection 1670

    I'm an new Mac-User on an iMac 24", 2,4 GHz with Leopard. So I will scan some photos, but the Epson Scanner will not be recognize under CS3. Somebody, who can help???
    Thanks so much!

    Jaclyn.
    That is as expected, if you are running a Mac-Intel machine.
    When you run CS on a Mac-Intel box, it runs in Rosetta, which emulates a PPC Mac (non-Intel box).
    But CS3 runs native in Universal Binary, so it needs Universal Binary drivers.
    You can get your scanner to run with CS3 if you set CS3 to run in Rosetta emulation software, but you will experience a substantial performance hit.
    The best solution is to scan outside of Photoshop.
    This has been covered to death here. Please do a forum search on
    Rosetta.

  • PHOTOSHOP CS4 DOES NOT RECOGNIZE MY SCANNER

    I just installed Photoshop CS4 64 bit in a new computer with Windows 7.  I downloaded and installed Twain Driver and Epson Scan Utility v3.04A as recommended by Epson for my Epson Perfection 4990 Photo Scanner to use with Windows 7.  The scanner works fine as a stand alone and works with Microsoft Paint, so the drivers seem to be installed correctly.  But when I open PSCS4 and go to file/automate, the scanner is not seen. 
    I spoke with Epson tech support who tells me I am missing a 64 bit twain plug in for PSCS4 which is required for the scanner to be recognized by PS.  They said there is no problem with 32 bit, but I need to wait for this 64 bit Twain Plug in to be released by either Adobe or Microsoft in order for this to work with my set up.
    What are people doing with PSCS4 and Windows 64 bit and Epson scanner?  I realize I can scan outside of Photoshop as a work around, but this is not ideal.  Any suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Matthew Kraus

    As John Joslin suggested... try VueScan. Excellent scanning software, very reasonably priced, unlimited upgrades, less than U$ 100. Just check if your scanner is supported (i just checked and it seems to be).
    http://www.hamrick.com/
    I used to use it and found it excellent. In fact, one of the cool things was that i could do all my scans in one session and then open the images in PS when i wanted / needed to work on them.

  • Lion does not recognize any login passwords even after PW reset

    Hi guys!
    While working on my macbookpro with lion, I got a request to write my admin password for uninstall of an app. The thing is that my usual password didn't work. So I rebooted my mac and surprise, surprise: none of the user accounts (3), including root were accepting their own passwords!
    So I made CMD+R, Terminal, resetpassword, and changed them all, including ALCs reset: No effect on any user login! still gives me the shake's and after 3 trials the password hint...
    I'm hopping not to have to make a complete system restore from timemachine, or a clean install..
    I find this problem really creppy,
    Any toughts are much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Try the steps in another forum this step I found on the by poster named g/re/p:
    "Boot into Single-User Mode."
    1. Shut down the computer if it is on.
    2. Press the power button to start the computer.
    3. Immediately press and hold the Command (Apple)
    and the S keys until you see white text appear.
    At the prompt, type fsck -yf and press the return key.
    Type mount -uw / and press the return key.
    Type rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone and press return.
    Type reboot
    When the computer restarts, it should act as if you had
    just installed OS X for the first time - it will prompt you
    for information to set up an administrator level account.
