My HP Photosmart C5280 scanner won't work right anymore. I always used it with my Picasa 3

For some reason my HP Photosmart C5280 scanner won't work with my Picasa 3, and it used to. My PC is also an HP Pavilion g6, with Windows 7. I tried downloading a new driver, as the CD was too old to have Windows 7, and also updating my Picasa, but none of that worked. I'm trying to scan an old photo. I'm just not having any luck at all, and it used to work like magic.
Thanks.

Just when I thought oneof the cures was going to work, I got the message: "The system can't find the "file" specified!", so I opened the "file" with the new drivers, which I THOUGHT it meant, and , of course, it was WRONG! What file?? PLEASE help!

Photosmart D110 Scanner won't work with Mavericks

Since upgrading to Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I can't save a scanned document, and I can't email one. I get an error message about the format of the document (and it's a document I've previously scanned and sent in a previous OS). Now, after trying to cancel the scan and the save, I'm hung up on "canceling." Can't get anywhere. Can anyone help? Thanks.

After being on the phone for 90 minutes with HP support, we came up with the following solution.
Download OXS 8 driver and software for the D110. Then download this from apple, a fix.

CanoScan 9000F scanner won't work on my MacBook Pro even though it should be compatible with the Mac 10.7.2 OS.

My new CanoScan 900F scanner won't work on my MacBook Pro even though I've followed all instructions to make it compatible with the 10.7.2 OS. The USB connection isn't recognised. What else con I do?

I have a similar problem with a new CanoScan 9000F which I tried to use without any success on my desktop computer (Mac Pro 5,1) and laptop (Macbook Pro 1,2) both running OS 10.6. Problem is identical on both, viz:
• Scanning process appears to start, a message comes on the screen: Scanning do not open document cover followed by Scanning...
• This is then replaced by the message: Cannot communicate with scanner. Cable may be disconnected or scanner may be turned off. Check status. Scanner driver will be closed. 2.155.33
I've spent several hours on the phone with Canon support but having uninstalled/installed/reinstalled/updated/turned on/turned off/unplugged/plugged/restarted innumerable times, the problem is exactly the same. The scanner icon shows up in the Printer & Fax System Prefs (though without the little status lights) and shows as being connected in the USB tree. I think it's a problem with the scanner, Canon bods are suggesting the Macs are at fault and suggest I try connecting to a wintel (hawk, spit) and it's 100km to the nearest Canon service centre.
Any suggestions as to what might be the problem/s and what I might be able to do to fix it/them?
Thanks.
By the way, bought the Canon to replace a HP Scanjet 8300 which I've used for 6 years almost without problems. Any that I have had have been fixed merely by turning the scanner off then on after a 10 second rest.

Just installed mountain lion now my scanner won't work

Just installed mountain lion and now my epson scanner won't work! message says "power PCs are no longer supported-is there an app?

Bet you upgraded from Snow Leopard. The scanner software you have installed is likely PPC but could run in Snow Leopard, which was the last version of Mac OS X that supported it, rather than just Intel software.
I'd suggest going to the Epson website and getting Mountain Lion compatible drivers from their Drivers and Support page. They will be for Intel Macs such as yours.

My epson Perfection V330 scanner won't work with mavericks

I updated to Mavericks and now my Esson scanner won't work. I found a download for a driver on the Epson site but it doesn't seem to want to download - either that or it's taking hours to download.

Hi,
As listed on Epson's site the drivers are available via Apple Software Update.
Ensure the scanner is powered on and directly connected to your Mac, then try following the steps below:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=14551&BV_UseBVCooki e=yes&infoType=Downloads&platform=OSF_M_X7
Now try opening the Image Capture application within the Applications folder and check if your scanner appears.
If the scanner cannot be located yet try restarting your Ma and check for any difference.
If the same still persists try resetting the printing system, then try adding the scanner again as listed on Epson's site.
You may reset the printing system as following:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11143
Finally, if you still having issue getting the drivers from ASU try installing the package below and try scanning from Image Capture again:

HT204350 scanner won't work after upgrade

scanner won't work after upgrade

Hey srohall,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your scanner after updating to OS X Mavericks. To troubleshoot this issue, we’ll want to follow the same troubleshooting steps for printers:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
1. Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
2. Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
3. Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
4. Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
5. Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
1. Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
2. If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
3. Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I loaded Mountain Lion and now my Canon Canoscan LIDE100 Scanner won't work. I reloaded the application, checked the driver & loaded the Canon driver for Mountain Lion. Aplication starts to load then hangs up on 80% complete. Any suggestions?

Might have a hardware issue that was caused by the minor liquid spill.
Take it to Apple to have them look at it. I think they do a free diagnostics. That way you can find out what's wrong with your MB.
Good luck....Hope you get it sorted out.

I have a G5 with Tiger to sell and want to erase all my data from it, but the cd drive won't work so I can't use the OS10 start up disk. Answers?

I have a G5 to sell and want to erase all my data from it, but the cd drive won't work so I can't use the OS10 start up disk. Any way to do it?

Do you have another Mac? If so, you can startup this one in "Target Disk Mode" (instructions here) and connect it to another Mac to delete the home folders (or the entire drive, if that's what you want).
One piece of advise, though: after deleting the data, and of course emptying the Trash, it wouldn't hurt to also securely erase the "free space" of the drive (instructions here) before disconnecting the old Mac from the new one. This can be helpful, since "deleted" data is often retrievable with ease unles it's written over after the deletion.

Headphone jack won't work right

I have a 60GB video iPod and the headphone jack won't work right. I only get audio in the left ear unless I push the earphone plug to the side. I know this is common among listening devices and wondered if there is any easy way to correct this or if I should just take it to Apple to have them fix it. It's definitely not under warranty and wondered how much it would be to fix it...

If you are at all handy you can replace the headphone and hold switch. It is not terribly difficult. Almost all sites that sell the parts have online videos that show you how to do it. I have replaced them as well as batteries and screens. I encourage anyone that has some mech skill and there Ipod is off Warranty to try it. If you have a great fear or are all thumbs then of course send it somewhere. One advantage of doing your own repairs is that while you have it open you might as well replace the battery with a longer life batt and also the screen with a brighter one for about the same cost as 3rd party doing the work on just the jack and hold switch. A lot of the sites send the case tools and jewelers screwdriver with the part. or at any hardware store, or where every tools are sold you can get a jewelers screwdriver. Good luck.

I have had my apple tv 2 for about 3 months which work perfectly fine when I use it with my iPad 3 ー all of the sudden I get the HDCP Error! I read the forms and done everything! Apple I name a loyal customer, please come out with an update soon!

I have had my apple tv 2 for about 3 months which work perfectly fine when I use it with my iPad 3 ー all of the sudden I get the HDCP Error! I read the forms and done everything! Apple I name a loyal customer, please come out with an update soon!

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

HP Photosmart D110 scanner doesn't work

Hello,
I recently noticed that my HP Photosmart D110 printer/scanner won't scan.
I've reinstalled the printer on my HP computer and replaced the driver software from the original installation disk.
Still, no scanning.
An error message keeps coming up about the "device" not being fully installed.
The Photosmart printer/scanner is accessed through my network modem.
All the computers in the house can print but no scanning is possible at this time.
Any solutions or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
hpod1

Hey there and welcome to the community, @hpod1
I read about the issue you're having with scanning with your Photosmart D110 model and all of your computers.
Seeing that you cannot scan with any of your computers is concerning and would present the idea of a hardware problem within the printer.
I would suggest trying to make a copy or two and let me know what happens.
If copies do not work, try power resetting the printer:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Best wishes, hope to hear from you

Canon LIDE210 scanner won't work with 64 bit arch.

I have a Canon LIDE 210 flatbed scanner which is supposed to be fully supported in linux - for many many months if I plug it in, and start up GIMP to use the scanner plugin - initially it looks like it will work but although it successfully completes a preview scan, if I ask it to do a full scan of a page or section of page it makes abnormal noises, and ends up usually screaming as if in pain, and then the sane application hangs. This is if it is plugged in to a laptop with usb3 cable connecting the laptop to the scanner, and running 64 bit arch. Yet the same scanner plugged in to a laptop which only has usb2 ports, and running 32 bit arch works flawlessly running the scanner in the same way.
I expect that the 32/64 bit arch issue is not relevant, and it is some problem with the usb3 drivers not being compatible with the usb2 capability of the scanner that is causing the failure.
I have seen some suggestion (from a Ubuntu forum) to "In the UEFI/BIOS change the setting under USB configuration, "XHCI Pre-Boot mode" from enabled to disabled. In some BIOS configurations this setting is known as "XHCI Mode". Is there a better way to resolve this since usb3 external drives and usbkeys work fine without this change on the same machine.
Does anyone have any experience with running usb flatbed scanners via a usb3 port, and if so is there a workaround that is known to work with this particular scanner? I have seen the thread at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=184816 which also did not lead to a solution.
It would be nice to find a way to deal with this although perhaps a newer linux compatible scanner that is equivalent to the LIDE 210 is available that is compatible with usb3?

Hi Steve,
The Canon Australia web site is only showing v4.5.1.2 of CanoScan Toolbox for the LiDE35 (same version for Windows and Mac). There is no mention of v5.0.1.3 being supported by this model so this could explain the application is unable to locate it. The applications typically have a built-in list of support devices and if the 35 is not in this list then it won't work. Again with reference to the Canon web site, the LiDE 600F and 70 show v5.0.1.4 of CanoScan Toolbox. Later models, such as the LiDE 100 and 200 released last year, don't use the Toolbox application. Instead they work with MP Navigator or OS X apps like Preview.

Just upgraded to 10.9. was hoping it would fix the bugs in the last system. now my Epson scanner won't work. Downloaded their newest software. No go with the new OSX. Why would Apple roll out a new free upgrade that interferes with Epson?

Just downloaded OS 10.9. hoped it would fix bugs from the last version. now I can't use my Epson perfection 4870 scanner. Cehcked with Epson. They say the software is an Apple update. checked with Apple-No Go.
For now my Scanner just won't work. I'm surprised Apple would introduce new OS material -free- which compromises a good vendor like Epson.

nope, Barney.
My issue is a large amount of money spent over many years on computers for my company, myself, wife and sons. Got an investment here
The company I favor, Apple sent me a message that they have a wonderful new Maverick operating system.
I send documents back and forth to friends and people to do business. Hoped maverick would fix the bugs from Leopard.
With Maverick system, my main document sender, Epson perfection 4870 and its software doesn't work anymore, or so it seems to me.
Checked with Apple, very apologetic, they can't help, maybe it will be fixed in a couple of days...
Epson, referred me to Apple...
I still ccouldn't send documents.
Until my buddy Macjack pointed out the obvious- Image capture does the job. Thanks very much,MJ
I didn't know that- not in the Apple help area, can't find it in their manual, their help line couldn't give me a clue to something as obvious as this
So, lot of money over the years. Plenty of smart, well compensated folks writin code at both companies. I can't keep up with tit all, they don't keep up with each other.
Bottom line Apple releases a product that doesn't work well for a lot of little people like me. Maybe some clear expanation would help re:Macjack..
I certainly don't understand all the ins and outs of a zillion dollar computer behemoth business model. Do know this though, If I ran my business like this customers would go somewhere else and some would probably sue me.
Thank you

Canon LiDE35 scanner won't work with latest CanoScan software

I upgraded my MacBook Core Duo (2006) to Snow Leopard this weekend. All fine except even after loading the latest Canon Driver (lide35osx7721en.dmg) and restarting, then using CanoScan Toolbox 5.0.1.3 -- I get the message "Can't find Driver".
If I go back to 4.5.1.2 version of CanoScan - it works OK! But the 5.0.1.3 software is easier to set, gives lots of choices - it should work, right? Has anyone tried this or can anyone comment. (I never got 5.0.1.2 nor 5.0.1.3 to work with Leopard either - but hadn't updated the DRIVER - now I have but it still can't "Find" the driver!)
Thanks for any comments here - at least I can scan - and sure, maybe I could update this 5 year old scanner - but it works great!
Best regards,
