My scanner has stoped working on my imac (10.6.8).

I'ver reinstalled the software and Canon will no longer help.  The scanner works fine on my macbook pro!  The scanner makes a noise when it is plugged in but when I try to scan an error message says that the scanner lock is on when it isn't.  Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks, Alyson

Well the software is definitely compatibile with the OS:

The scanner does appear in the printer and scanner section under system preferences - is this a good or bad thing?  Do I need to delete from there?
Thanks so much for your help!  I'm amazed that I've had a response!

  • My computers hard drive has stoped working, how can I retrieve my Itunes library from my computer?

    My computers hard drive has stoped working. How can I retrieve my itunes library? My back ups were on this hard drive as well.
    When I brought my computer to be fixed they said they would retrieve photos and music and documents but loose my programs. That being said I am not sure if I will recover my music from itunes because it may fall under the program category. I support itunes by purchasing from itunes, but now i am in a position where i may loose years of purchassing music and it has me feeling a little bit sick to be honest...the stress this is causing is really big. DÙoes anyone have any experience with this type of problem?
    Help is appreciated, thank you.

    If the data is recoverable from the drive then they should have recovered the entire iTunes folder which includes the library database. Restore this into the <User's Music> folder of a replacement system, install iTunes, and it should be as before.

  • When I close an Adobe doc I get a message that it has stoped working and a error msg

    When I close an Adobe doc I get a message that it has stoped working and a error msg - The instruction at 0x7734464a referenced memory at 0x00000010. The memory could not be read. This is very annoying. Word 2010 does almost the same thing.

    I found the file but when I added it to the  list for the Data  Execution Program to ignore , I received a message that the Program.x86/itunes file must have the DEP on in order to run. Anyone else having this problem ?

    What is the make & model number of the keyboard?
    You could get a keyboard remapping program & map someother key to the volumn key.

  • My Windows host (Rundll32) has stoped working. What can i do to fix it?

    Sorry, can't give much more detail. All i can say is some kind of "funny" vidoe clips come up when my comuter wants to shut down after not touching the key pad or mouse. Can't remove it unless, i turn off/ on. Then i get this message "windows host (rundll32) has stoped working.

    First you can try;
    Try restarting PC and run itunes again!
    If error again than perform clean instal of itunes (uninstal first and than instal again)!

    iphone 5 touch screen has stoped working all of a sudden, help?

    Hello there, shankate1993.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with touchscreen response on your iOS device:
    If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch - Apple Support
    Fix your touchscreen
    Make sure your hands are clean and dry, then try these steps:
    If you have a case or screen protector on your device, try removing it.
    Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
    Unplug your device.
    Restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
    If your touchscreen still doesn't respond like it should, contact Apple Support or take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Thunderbirs has stoped working in any way for me and more others

    Hello. Starting on 04/08/2014 the Thunderbird has stopped working in any way in my PC. I am running Windows 8.1 Pro x64. Before that day everything was ok and Thunderbird was working. I asked some friends using Windows 8 and they have the same problem. Thunderbird won't load the email accounts and won't send and receive any email. It won't even let us add a new email account. The message received when trying to add a new account is the following "Sorry - we're unable to communicate with our sign-up server. Please check your connection.". Also if we will try to move forward and add a new email account anyway the answer will be that Thunderbird can't connect to any server. We have uninstalled Thunderbird and install it again several times in the past days with no success. I was looking t delete the Thunderbird folder in Program files but I can't find it. The uninstall and install again procedure including deleting folder was a solution few years ago but it seams that now is not working anymore. I will really appreciate some help as my whole work is based on working with an email client and my work is stacked at the moment. I really don't know what other email client to use as the 2013 Outlook looks just terrible. Thank you very much

    When I try to open Thunderbird, first time I receive the message, "Sorry - we're unable to communicate with our sign-up server. Please check your connection."
    I will press the "skip and using my existing email", I will enter any Gmail or AOL email account (which usually works perfect with Thunderbird) and after enter it the name, email and password the message will be "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account" (even if everything is correct). 2 days before was another message. Thunderbird found the settings for the email account but after pressing "Done", the message was something like the mail or password are not correct. (even if everything was correct). In the same time in browser the email will work. The email settings are correct. Everything was working fine and 3-4 days before Thunderbird just stopped working. Stopped to get emails or sending emails and after uninstall and install it again I couldn't even add my emails accounts again.
    Thank you for everything and I really hope in some help as soon as possible. I will really appreciate it.

  • TS3276 My yahoo.co.uk e-mail account has stopped working on my iMac.  Connection doctor states that my connections are OK.  Help.

    My yahoo.co.uk e-mail account has stopped receiving new mail.  I have deleted the account and reinstalled but after receiving a few new e-mails it has stopped working again.   I cannot delete mail and my 'sent' box is empty.   I can access Yahoo mail via the web but would like to continue using Mail.  What setting should I use (my son had a look at the problem and may have altered some specs).   Connection Doctor indicates I am connected OK.  Any suggestions?

    well, everything appears to have resolved itself. Let me put this down in case it is of use to other iphone/gmail types.
    1. apparently I must have had either a lot of different computers/devices accessing gmail at the same time and it locked me out. As sailman says above, what precisely is locked out is a mystery, but in my case it was my pc/outlook, my apple mail 4.1 and my iphone. Web access worked fine
    2. when i ran the https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha command I had to do it on both my pc and my mac and eventually they came back up. The iphone was last, and took at least 24hours
    3. one thing that google doesn't communicate well is that you can sync your contacts and calendar by setting the iphone up via an exchange account, i.e. http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740 . Then you need to set up mail separately by adding it as an "other" type of account - i.e http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=77702
