Open Scanner option disappeared

Hi
I was tried to reinstall my printer and scanner
now the open scanner option is missing (under system preference, printer and scanner)
I can only print, but scanning option is gone
I now will have to install the standard scanning app from Cannon which is a pain in the *** to use
anyone knows how to get the open scanner tab back?
thanks
Henry

To see the Scan tab, or use Image Capture or Preview to scan, you need to have an ICA driver installed for your device. This driver is normally available via Apple, however the package is often updated and older models are removed from the package, so depending on the age of your Canon, the supporting driver may no longer be available from Apple. So check the Canon web site for your model and for an ICA driver. If one is no longer available then you will have to use the Canon scanning application.

  • Hp color laserjet pro mfp m177fw (Cant open SCANNER on computer)

    Hi there,
    I am using a desktop 27 inch Mac with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
    When I go to system preferences and click on printers/scanners I can see my mfp m177fw laserjet printer (wirelessly connected fine). But unlike on my Macbook Pro laptop on my desktop there is no SCANNER option to open up?  Thus I am unable to scan from the printer to this desktop. I have the latest HP driver installed on the desktop computer for my m177fw printer.
    Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated
    thanks!
    Simon

    Hello @Simonjayh,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I would like to assist you today with resolving the scan issue that you're experiencing since installing your HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw on your Mac OS X 10.10 computer. Can I please have you run through the steps below to get this product functioning properly again for you.
    Step 1: Uninstall Drivers:
    First, can I please have you click here and run through the steps provided to Reset the Print System on your Mac OS X 10.10 computer. Please refer to the section under 'Resetting the printing system in OS X Lion' as the steps are the same for your Mac OS X 10.10 Operating System. Resetting the Print System will remove every printer from your Print & Scan window on your computer. However, this does not uninstall the devices. Therefore, should you use other printers on your Mac OS X 10.10 computer simply ensure that they are plugged in with a USB Cable or Network connected and add (+) them back in. Do not add your HP Laserjet printer back in at this time.
    Next, please click here to access the steps on how to properly uninstall the Software and Driver Package for your printer. Once the website opens select the dropdown for 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8, and OS X v10.9' as the steps are the same for your Mac OS X 10.10 Operating System. Once the uninstall has completed successfully, please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
    Go to the Utilities Folder
    Open the Disk Utility
    Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
    Select Verify Disk Permissions
    Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
    Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
    Go to Apple
    Select System Preferences
    Select Software Update
    Click Update Now
    Install your available updates
    Restart your computer
    Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
    Lastly, please click here to download the appropriate Mac OS X 10.10 Full Feature Software and Driver package for you printer. Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left. Once the Download is complete please follow the onscreen steps to reinstall you printer.
    Once your printer has been successfully reinstalled, please test the HP Scan functions again. For additional scan information, you may want to refer to : Scanning with the Full Feature HP Software in OS X v10.10 Yosemite
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you!

  • "Other" login option disappears/reappears.  Need help preventing this!

    I administer a Mac lab with 20 old 10.4.11 Macs.  There are a variety of login options available on startup, most for specific grades in our school.  One catchall login option is "Other".  Once "Other" is selected, students have to enter their network login ID/password.  This specific login process lets the 5th graders access their legacy (OS 9) keyboarding program.  They save their work to their network folders (OS 10.5.8 server).  Normally this works fine, but on several of the IDENTICALLY CONFIGURED Macs, the "Other" initial login option "disappears"/reappears.
    This is a significant problem for the keyboarding class, so anyone who can tell me how to fix this problem will be rewarded in Heaven.  Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

    Thanks for the reply.  The deal is that I AM the Network Manager.....  and my Mac background is limited.
    There are enough similarities between Active Directory (what I'm used to) and Open Directory that I can function in our computing environment without problems (usually).
    This situation is just plain odd due to its sporadic nature,  This problem will eventually go away when we replace the 10.4.11 Mac workstations and the really old Classic keyboarding program.  Until then, I will check DNS.  Thanks.
    While I'm here, do you have any idea why I can't map a network drive from our Windows 7 PC laptops to our Mac OS 10.5.8 server?  The Mac workstations connect to the server with no problem.  We have one subnet so being on different subnets is not an issue.

  • Trying to open scanner session....

    Like many others, I have an HP Deskjet F380 all-in-one. Printing is fine. Trying to scan, I get 2 messages.
    1- Trying to open scanner session
    2- failed to open a session on the device
    I assume, eventually, there will be a fix from HP?

    I solved my own problem, sort of. I reinserted my Snow Leopard installation disk and then went to the Optional Installs package. One of the Custom Installs available there is Printer Support. I loaded "All Available Printers," after which Mac OS recognized my HP 6310. So, apparently, there are drivers in the optional installations package that don't get loaded automatically with the basic Snow Leopard install. Perhaps the missing drivers can also be obtained through Software Update. I did that too, but can't tell if it affected my connection since the scanner worked both before and after I updated the HP software.
    In OS 10.5, I typically scanned using Acrobat. Even though my scanner is now working, Acrobat can't find it. This is odd because if I scan through the Print & Fax screen in System Preferences, I can scan to Acrobat. After the scan, Acrobat opens and shows the scanned image in neat old .pdf format. But it won't scan directly, and the System Preferences route takes a lot of extra key strokes. I long for the old HP Director.

  • Open Attachment option in Mail opens incorrect invite in Calendar

    My issue: if I double click or use the Open Attachment option in Mail for calendar invites, an invite from 2 years ago opens in Calendar for me to accept. If I use the Add to Calendar function, no problem & reads like it should do.
    I upgraded to ML about 2-3 weeks ago and Mail was spectacularly painful with the merge from SL not working at all. Calendar seemed to be ok, however this usse has started to appear in the last 24 hours.
    Ivites can be accepted no dram using the iPad or my wifes iPhone just seesm to beon the Mac that its a problem.
    Any thoughts/ideas/fixes would be great.

  • Safari won't open. Firefox disappeared, only question mark. Mail doesn't have content. Time Machine won't turn on because sparse bundle is in use. Please help.

    I had this issue about a month in a half ago and it was fixed by a local technician. I no longer have access to him and I really need some help. The issues are as follows:
    Safari will not open.
    Firefox disappeared. No icon, just a question mark in it's place.
    When I open mail it shows I have new messages but the content is blank.
    Time Machine cannot turn on because sparse bundle is in use.
    New files that were made are no longer available. It's almost as if the computer jumped back in time.

  • Unable to open AirPort options sheet in Network System Preference

    Hi there,
    There are several posts (and a Radar bug number, 4273111) reporting a certain difficulty with systems that have been upgraded to Tiger. For some reason: When viewing the AirPort network interface in the Network system preference, certain installations do not allow one to open the "Options" sheet.
    To reproduce:
    1. Open System Preferences.
    2. Click on the Network system preference.
    3. Show -> AirPort.
    4. Click the "Options" button.
    Normally, this should open an options sheet. However, on three separate systems I've encountered that have been upgraded to 10.4.x from earlier versions of Mac OS X (Jaguar to Panther to Tiger), the sheet does not open at all. Console reports the following when the button is clicked:
    2006-11-07 09:55:22.206 System Preferences[379] * Assertion failure in -[PreferencesApp _commonBeginModalSessionForWindow:relativeToWindow:modalDelegate:didEndSelector :contextInfo:], AppKit.subproj/NSApplication.m:3057
    2006-11-07 09:55:22.229 System Preferences[379] Modal session requires modal window
    I've tried replacing the following items (then repairing permissions after each attempt) with a known-good copy from another 10.4.x system (same OS version/build in each case—as of this post, tested through 10.4.8), without effect:
    /Applications/System Preferences.app
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
    /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Network.prefPane
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Preferences.framework
    I've seen references to a similar error in Safari that was able to be fixed with a reinstall of Safari—apparently, something corrupted in WebKit.framework. I'm presuming something similar would work here (and it's been reported that an Archive and Install will fix the problem, but that's certainly overkill to correct such an issue).
    I've got clients that are not happy about this and the problem has apparently been documented for well over a year now. The following Discussions threads cover it as well:
    "can't open airport options"
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1125018
    "Network system preferences stuck"
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1123291
    "Airport Preferred Networks"
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=722797
    I'm happy to lend whatever troubleshooting assistance I can, so if anyone else out there can similarly recommend files I might try replacing that I've not already mentioned here, or any other information that could be helpful, I'd certainly appreciate it!
    Thanks much,

  • The "always open with-"  option doesn't work!

    Is there a way to get the "Always open with" option when doing a (control) (option) click on a file to actually ALWAYS open with the application I choose? Could this feature be broken or perhaps mislabeled?
    Here's what happens; I'll set a file to "always open with" one application. I work on that file and save it. The next time I try to open that file it opens with the snow leopard default application instead of using the application I directed it to "Always open with".
    I don't want to open every file type with this application so I'm not setting "apply to all" in the info window/ inspector, I simply want this one file to always open with the application I've selected.
    I'm hoping some of you super mac users will know a trick to make this work.

    I want to open a few select files with a non-default application (now that the creation code is not used.)...If I work on the file and make/save any changes, it reverts to the default app.
    Aha! Okay, I don't think any of us were getting that in the initial posts. You are correct. Snow Leopard no longer uses Type and Creator codes by default, but they are still there. Various things are keeping you from doing what you want.
    1) Newer programs that do not use Type and Creator codes at all still need a way to tell the OS what files belong to them. Since at least back as far as Leopard (likely earlier), the system now uses Uniform Type Identifiers. As far as keeping track of what files belong to what applications, they serve the same purpose as Type and Creator codes. So when you save changes, it will indeed revert back to the default app since the file once again gets saved with that program's UTI data.
    2) Some programs use both UTI and Type and Creator codes. Usually older apps that have come from PPC code. I would guess that would be either because the developer doesn't want to waste time removing the code that adds the Type and Creator codes to the files, or more likely, to make sure files passed to other users still on older Macs that don't use UTI won't have trouble opening them.
    3) I use some much older apps which have still not been rewritten at all for Intel Macs and are still all PPC code. They still write Type and Creator codes.

  • Mac cannot detect scanner option on HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw after trying every method

    Hello,
    I have recently purchased the new printer HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw and I am having a lot of trouble trying to scan. I have spend hours trying to fix this.
    I have tried all the methods on this website, (trying through preview, printers and scanners (no scanner option showing) image capture, etc. I have also installed all the necessary drivers with no luck (CD and from HP website)
    Then I tried all the other methods that were listed, I have tried restarting, deleting drivers and proceeding through image capture, preview and sanner and printers,  it just does not have scan option anywhere.
    The printer is working fine though, and I am connected to the printer through wifi
    I do not know what else to try, please help.
    Kinds regards
    Zhanna

    Hi @student ,
    I see by your post that you aren't able to scan through the wireless network. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
    When you added the printer, did you add it as a Bonjour printer or did you have to type in the IP address and add it through IP Protocal? The reason I am asking is because when adding the printer through IP Protocal you can only print, your not able to scan with the printer added this way.
    Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. It should list just the printer's name. (HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw )
    Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen should show the name.
    If the printer name isn't listed properly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in)
    If you are still having issues, uninstall the printer software.
    Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Close all applications.
    On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
    Double-click Disk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
    Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
    Restart the computer.
    Empty the trash.
    Reset the Printing System:
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
    Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
    Click Printers & Scanners.
    Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type the correct Name and Password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system.
    Then install the printer software again. HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M176/M177 Series Software.
    If the issue persists, connect the printer directly to the Mac and try and scan through a USB connection. Just to rule out a network issue.
    Please let me know the outcome.
    Have a fantastic day!
    Thank You.

  • How do i get the "open with" option back for pdfs after accidentally hitting the save option which now automatically saves any pdf?

    Normally when I click on a pdf I would get an option to "Open With" or Save. I usually just opened pdfs first. I accidentally clicked on the Save option in this dialog box and now when I click on any pdf it automatically asks me where I want to save it. I want to get the "open With" option back, because I don't necessarily want to save a copy of every pdf.

    Mountain Lion was released in 2012, so I suppose there might be advice in old threads or on the Apple forums if you don't get a response here right away.

  • How to manually set Open In option to App of our choice e.g. O Player

    I have purchased Seagate GoFlex Satellite WiFi external hard disk. Pl guide me in how to set Open In option to point out to Player in iPhone 4 to play avi and mkv videos. Currently I can get this option only when I physically copy files in iPhone thru' GoFlex App which eats away phone memory

    Hi,
    Flash Builder 4 uses the OS file association to determine the standalone player location.
    So if you want to change the player being launched, just change the default program association for .SWF files (Right click a SWF, say open with, choose the flashplayer.exe or flashplayerdebugger.exe you need, make sure "Always open this type of files with this program" is checked and hit OK).
    In the next version of Flash Builder, there's an easy preference setting to change the player being launched.
    Thanks,

  • Import and Open File options freeze up

    When I click any Import option (Word, HTM, merge XPJ), the browser window does not open to allow me to select files.  This happens on ALL import options.
    The RoboHelp screen freezes up and I get an error sound when I click any other option.  This requires me to press ESC in order to continue.
    The same error occurs when I use the Open file option from the RoboHelp started.  If I use Windows Explorer to browse to the project, I can open it.  If I click Open file, I get the same screen freeze-up and no browser.
    I am working via VPN.  The Import works fine when I'm connected to the enterprise server in the office. 
    Is there an option or setting I can select to enable the Open file, Import > Word, Import > HTM or merge options via VPN?  I've tried several different log-in options and reviewed by Windows file set-up and security.  I'm totally stuck.
    I am using Office 2010 and RoboHelp 10; our office uses Subversion, but the files are checked out properly.
    As I said, I can import from the office when connected to the network.
    Has anyone experienced this before?

    Hi there
    Maybe it's that the window is in an area that can't be displayed!
    Try this. When the window does not appear, press and hold the Windows logo key, then press perhaps the left arrow key a couple of times. See if the window is maybe hidden and pops into view.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Open iTunes option greyed out - why?

    Hello - I am wondering why, when connecting my ipad to my mac, it opens up in iPhoto, and why the open iTunes option is greyed out on the summary page. Any ways to change this? Thanks!

    You can do this while the iPad is connected to the Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac and from the menu at the top go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if the box at the bottom - prevent iPods, iPhones .... from syncing automatically is checked. If it is checked - uncheck it. Then go to the Summary Tab and you should be able to check - Open iTunes when this iPad is connected.
    I think this may be something that you can try as well. Go to System Preferences on your Mac and click on Accounts. Open your user account - you will need the administrator password - go to Login Items and make sure that iTunes Helper is checked.
    For the iPhoto issue - launch iPhoto and from the menu - iPhotos>Preferences>General>Connecting Camera Opens no application.
