Officejet 6500 scanner not recognized after driver upgrade with Mac OS Lion

I have an Officejet 6500 E709n. Using Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 all software is updated.
I was having printing issues so I "reset printing system" thru Mac System Preferences and uninstalled my print drivers that originally came with the printer from HP. I am using the drivers updated by Mac OS Lion. The printing problem was solved! Sadly, I now have no scanning capability. I have followed many suggestions on scanning that I've found here on the forum, but my system no longer recognizes my printer as a scanner. The scan option is not even visible under the "print and scan" window in system pref. (I used to be able to click "print" or "scan" buttons on the printer window but even now there are no buttons giving those options).
Thanks for your help and time!

Hi,
As I understand from your email that you are unable to scan from the MAC OS X System, this is due to the software issue, so we need to uninstall and reinstall the completed software,
Please follow the steps below and let us know how it was.
Step 1:- Run the Scrubber to uninstall the previously installed HP printer drivers
• Double click on the Macintosh Icon.
• Click on Application and then on Hewlett-Packard.
• Click on HP Uninstaller.
• Select the device and press and hold Control + Options + Command (Apple) keys on the keyboard.
• Click on Uninstall.
• You will get a popup window “Are you sure you want to uninstall all HP Software packages”.
• Click on OK to continue.
Note: It will remove the software for all HP printers. If you have any other HP printer installed, you may have to reload the software and set up the printer again.
During the process of uninstall, it might prompt you to enter the password of your computer to continue with the uninstall process. Please enter the password and click on Continue.
Step 2: Download and install the latest software.

Step 3: Add a Printer
1. Click the Apple menu icon, and then click System Preferences on the drop-down menu.
2. Click Printers & Scanners to open the printer’s folder.
3. Click the plus sign (+).
4. Select the product and from the print using option, from the drop down menu select the printer and not Airprinter, and then click the Add button.
5. Follow onscreen instructions if any.
6. After a few seconds, the product displays in the Printers list.
Step 4. Try Scanning through HP Scan Application.
Click on the Go Button on the top.
Click on Applications.
Click on HP Scan.
Try Scanning and check.
Also check from Print and Scan.
Let us know the results.

EPSON SCANNER NOT RECOGNIZED AFTER ML UPGRADE.

Mac Pro 2009, 8GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 4870 512 MB, OSX 10.8.2
I hope I can make myself clear... I just upgraded to ML and right now I'm not so sure it was a good idea BUT I am going to struggle thru the issues...
The big issue is that I now have to replace Photoshop CS.
I do not want to replace my perfectly good scanner. When I select the scanner (epson perfection 4490 photo scanner) I get this popup window.No explanation on where to go from here.
I went to the Epson site and found the driver needed for this upgrade. It tells me to use the Mac Software update feature and download the correct update from there.
I did as directed and the needed scanner update is not there AND this is the only way it will work per Epson.
Any help will be much appreciated
Wally

Thanks Eric - that would be a pain in the toot. I tried it and it looked like it was going to work. It recognized the scanner and let me do an overview and crop what I wanted but it would not let me change any options such as resolution, etc.. I started scanning, heard a few unfamiliar noises and the "no scanner available" message. I close Image Capture and reopened and get "no camera or scanner available".
Thanks for your input Eric.

Dual Display on Mac Pro (2011) not recognized after Yosemite Upgrade

I have Mini Displayport-to-HDMI adapter that used to work fine until I upgraded to Yosemite (now running 10.10.2). Now during boot up the main display flashes looking like it 'notices' the 1080 display resolution then quickly ignores it and the HDMI output is not recognized in the System Preferences Display window. This Mac Pro has two Mini Displayport ports and both behave similarly.
The main display powered through the DVI port works fine
Any suggestions to resolve ?

Not sure how critical your dual display is to your work life, but if it is you may want to consider using a Matrox product. Google it and search their site for "DualHead2Go" adaptor. I've used their stuff since 2008 when I bought my MacBook Pro. Their software is always kept up to date with the latest Mac OS. I have been VERY pleased over the years. Food for thought if you can't get your current system to function properly.

Photoshop CS4 will not open after system upgrade to Mac OSX Yosemite

I recently upgraded to Mac OSX Yosemite and unfortunately, my Photoshop CS4 will not open. The message says it requires Java SE6. I now have Java 7 update 71. I would appreciate suggestions from anyone who can help to resolve this problem. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Chris Cox. I followed the link in the error message to Apple's support page, downloaded and installed the Java for Mac OSX.
I can now open my PS CS4 again. What a relief!
Many thanks for your fast response and accurate advice.
Cheers!

My business partner created our website on her personal computer, then downloaded it on a USB drive. I pluggeed in my drive, after I upgraded my MAC to Lion,and now only see the initial start up in 2009. HELP!

I upgraded my computer to Lion recently and have been having major problems, Most importantly with managing my website on iweb.
my website is managed from a USB Drive, since the original creation was made on an ex-partners computer.
When I plugged the drive in today, the original set up of the website from 2009 comes up.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

IPad 2 not recognized after iTunes upgrade

Vista, iTunes 10.3.1.55
After a recent automatic upgrade of iTunes versions, my iPad is no longer recognized. I can see it in Windows and it makes the generic USB sound when plugging it in.
I have:
1) Restarted a couple of times (the app, computer and iPad)
2) Reinstalled iTunes from a complete download from Apple
3) Followed instructions to selectively start the Apple processes in Windows
Thanks for any help.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the tips. I tried them all, and unfortunately, none of them worked. I don't know of any way other than a simple Finder window to see what external devices are connected to my MacBook, so that's the only place I looked.
I charged the iPad overnight by plugging it into the wall, and the battery indicator shows a full charge. That tells me it's probably not the cord or the iPad's battery that are the problem here.
Any other ideas?

hi Crystal!
I downloaded iTunes 5.0 and now when I put a CD in it doesn't load the songs. I went out to the database site and looked up the album and it was there
hmmm. this question is to get a bit clearer on your situation. do you mean that your CD shows up in itunes, but your CDDB query doesn't work? or that itunes refuses to import the CD?
are you getting any error messages? if so, what do they say?

External Hard driver not recognized after force eject while Mac was asleep

So my Samsung hard driver had force ejected itself when my Macbook pro was asleep, it cant be recognized anymore. It doesn't show up under utilities, however it does show up under System report.
I've tried to plug it onto my desktop, however the system had failed to install the software to run the hard drive, yet again it does show up under properties.
Help please???!!!

No. It may just require a 00 Phillips driver depending upon the enclosure. Do the swap on a towel so that the little screws don't bounce away from you. You will have to pull the HDD out from the connecting plug. Do it in a straight line,don't bend it, and you may have to slowly increase pressure to get it out of the connecting plug.
It's not rocket science.
Ciao.

Scanner not recognized after first scan.

I have a new IMac and a Brother MFC-7860 DW. Today I scanned an image and then went to scan another image and Photoshop 6 would not recognize the scanner. If I turn off and on the Brother or restart Photoshop it recognizes the printer. This is ridiculous. Does anyone know how I can fix this.

Check for the latest firmware and drivers first.

HT202274 Password change old password not recognized after 10.9.5 upgrade

God bless you, peace.
macbook pro 2012 user password not recognized after 10.9.4 too 10.9.5 upgrade plus tech work at apple.
I want to change user password, it is allowing me to get into user account and admin account on computer but I recently changed it for the tech work to be done. I would like to put the password back now to old password or a new one but... The few days old new password pre update and pre tech work is not being accepted to allow me to change to another password.
recent update, after 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 update and apple tech work done.
1. Tech work replaced optical drive,
2. 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 upgrade left computer endlessly booting up, then got into finder window tried to read backup drive and screen went to black curser and could not backup information as techs decided may need to be done before I left it with them.
3. Also track pad was not (is not again) selecting text to drag unless real hard press and then only intermittently would select text or just drop the selection (not hold the selected text after a long scroll select, did work at first after tech work but back to not working). It is still not responding easily when pressed, but it is much better, as they did something with software they said. Today While typing this I am trying to select words misspelled and it does not select them unless I press not as hard it is becoming the same as before I see now, sometimes less pressure is needed but more than should be used.
I noticed today after tech work The Spell check is not responding with a two finger tap on the red underlined misspelled words without multiple try's with two finger tap. The curser moves around after selecting words also, or when selecting words so hard the curser moves to another place not on the desired words or check box. The curser arrow tip should select the word but it does not recognize unless I put the tail of the arrow onto the word then it recognizes the misspelled word for spell check on two finger gesture.
It looks like I need to take it back, I tried to call and check to confirm if the track pad intermittently and curser adjustment was serviced. In order to verify I had called three times to get that information to no avail. endless looped in the phone que, one would answer take info and then forward me to a endless loop dial ing phone that never was picked up, supposedly at the Bay street store tech section. Phone voice mail from apple support status on the repair, ...Juliano from Bay Street Apple repair store Emeryville, ca left a voice message... just generically said optical drive replacement is successfulI, I noticed right away three items were to be addressed but only the optical drive was mentioned, so I called three times to try and verify the other problems. One whole minute just to select this text and copy it to notes for a backup. It would not select at first, then after selected it would not copy it, then it would not paste to notes, it paste the last cut and paste I did 10 minutes ago.
I do not have a easy excellent wifi connection for my wifi only phone and would prefer email or chat for repair help. apple Repair No: R142180337

Try running the combo update. It fixes more files/data than the App Store upgrade.

DVD drive not recognized after Security update

Hello -
Well, for whatever reason I decided to apply some Apple software updates today. I repaired permissions, did a back up to an external Firewire drive with SuperDuper and downloaded several packages - iDVD 6.0.2, iMovie 6.0.2, Quicktime 7.1, iPhoto 6.0.3, iWeb 1.1, and Security Update 2006-003. I installed the Security Update and rebooted. I had read about an issue with DVDs, so promptly inserted a DVD-R disc of mine with a movie on it (not a commercial DVD, footage I had shot on my own). It was not recognized. I restarted with the mouse button held, no luck. I repaired permissions, no change.
I restarted from the backup on the external drive and cloned the backup over to my Powerbook. The problem did not go away, there the DVD sits, unrecognized. Tried to see if DVD player would see the DVD, got a message "There was an initialization error. A valid DVD drive could not be found [-70012]" disc burning in System profiler says no burning device was found. Tried to re-install DVD player via 4.6.1 update, got a message "Compatible DVD hardware was not detected, installation will not proceed".
Where to next? I haven't booted into open firmware to try to eject the disk that way, but one post on the discussions here somewhere had no luck. I'd really rather not erase and re-install and migrate from my back-up, but if that is all that's left, ok. Thanks for your help.
BTW, 10.4.6 ona 1.5 GHz Al PowerBook with 2GB RAM, not original RAM but Samsung from OWC. Thanks again.

Well, one thing I had not tried was to reset PRAM//NVRAM. I combined that step with shutting down, unplugging the power cord and letting it sit for 15 minutes. Reconnected power, restarted while holding cmd-option-P-R through the second start-up chime, and viola, my DVD appears on the desktop, the drive is listing in the system profiler, problem gone. Thanks all for the rapid responses.

Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5.

Object is to sync address and calendar between laptop with Max OS 10.4.11 and iPhone. Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password for the laptop is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5., though it was working prior to the upgrade, for file sharing.

@ BDAqua > I tried your suggestion but no luck. holding opt+command just gave me a blue screen and it rebotted, pushing the disk out of the drive. Yes, the macbook has 1 gb of ram. I realize that the min req. call for 2 gb of ram so i've got an order in for another dimm to put into the machine. Thanks for your suggestions.
@ a_brody > Yes. The machine was plugged into a power source. The disk promts you to do that and i recall aspect this form other installs. Thanks for the reminder tho! ( btw your second post is like greek to me man!)
@ Kuncklesmac > You're right about Snow Leopard being an upgrade from Leopard. I'm aware of this. And yes previously i've been told by Apple that I needed the Box Set (not the family pack. i am using the family pack for OS Snow Leopard) to upgrade my 10.4.11 mac - they never mentioned adding ram but i figured that out on my own and an apple specialist recommended it when i purchased Snow Leopard and confirmed that I coul duse the Snow Leopard to upgarde from Tiger (10.4.11). I've also read extensively (as i said above) that it isn't necessary (always) to buy the box set. Several 10.4.11 users report having upgraded using the Snow Leopard upgrade disk only (not the Box Set) without trouble on intel macs (also see the apple link i posted). So i'm just ondering how they did it and i cannot.
Thanks fo rall yor help!

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

Keith,
I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.
