Photoshop CS4, won't recognize new scanner

Hi all. I have a new Dell Windows Vista 64 and have CS4, legit on it. I have installed the Vista 64 driver on this epson 4490 photo scannner. That all went well. The computer recognizes it, I can click on the icon on the desk top and bring up the epson full software to scan. But when I'm in Photoshop, and click import, I don't see the epson 4490 listed, like I use to on my old computer with CS2 and I could open it with the full software in PS. I can click on the WIA supported items and it will be there, but it is only an abreviated version of the epson software. I can't make it be the full version that I bring up from the desktop icon. I've restarted the computer a couple of times after installing the software.
I can work with it this way, but much easier to bring it up from PS of course. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks everyone.

Hey, so when in Photoshop, like I mentioned earlier, I can access an abbreviated version of the Epson software, and I can get it to open up on PS. It just isn't the full version and I can't do adjustments. It simply scans it, not much control.
I adjusted the title to this question to clarify.
Thanks again.
edit:
Just found this in another thread for Mac's. It says it is better to scan as a stand alone, not from within Photohshop since there have been conflicts and bad things with drivers. Even thought I have a different scanner than the one mentioned. This may be the answer. It defaults to not working within PS. Any thoughts?

Photoshop CS4 won't recognize file and won't save

Help! I have Photoshop CS4. I have had trouble in the past with photoshop not recognizing my raw files from Nikon (NEF). Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Now I can't get PS to save any file, jpeg or ps. Can anyone help me please?

• What exact version of Ps CS4 are you using? 11.0.2?
• Exact version of the OS?
• You are not working over a network, are you?
• Have you tried creating a fresh, new account and logging in as a different user?
• Have you Repaired Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility?
• Check the read and write permissions on the folder(s) and volume(s) to which you are attempting to save.
This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

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).

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.

Photoshop CS4 does not recognize raw photos taken with newer cameras. Anyone else have this problem?

Photoshop CS4 will not recognize RAW2 photos taken with my new Panasonic Lumix FZ100 camera. This camera is listed in Adobe's 6.2 Camera Raw update for Photoshop CS5 but cannot be loaded in CS4. I paid a lot of money for CS4 and don't want to buy CS5 just because I bought a new camera, but it appears that Adobe no longer updates Camera Raw for CS4 or with newer cameras. When I called the Help Desk to find out if there was some kind of patch I could get to make CS4 compatible with my new camera a gentleman in New Delhi informed me that he couldn't even answer my question until I paid $40 since answering questions about CS4 was a "paid service." I hung up in a rage. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a solution?

This camera is listed in Adobe's 6.2 Camera Raw update for Photoshop CS5 but cannot be loaded in CS4.
Adobe does indeed not update obsolete versions of Camera Raw for new camera types.
And guess what: It’s the camera producers who seem to like to change their raws – so how about spreading some of your indignation their way?
I paid a lot of money for CS4 and don't want to buy CS5 just because I bought a new camera
The upgrade is cheaper than buying the full version.
Anyway, you could try the free DNG Converter which should be able to handle everything the most recent version of Camera Raw can handle.

How do I get Photoshop Elements 9 to recognize my scanner?

I have recently upgraded my computer to an iMac, running OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. I have PSE9 installed but the program won't recognize my scanner. I have a Brother MFC9325. The scanner function will work with my PC, running XP, but not my iMac.

In Elements 9, you may need to copy the Adobe TWAIN driver, if your scanner requires it, from the optional plug-ins folder to the Import-Export folder in the main plug-ins folder.
You will need to copy the plug-in Twain_32.8ba
Copy from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Optional Plug-Ins\Import-Export
Copy to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\en_US\Plug-Ins\Import-Export.
N.B. on Windows 32 bit systems navigate to Program Files. Replace en_US with your own geographic location if necessary.
On a Mac, go to Applications à Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 à Support Files à Optional Plug- Ins à ImportModules, and move the TWAIN.plugin from there into Applications à Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 à Support Files à Plug-Ins à Import Modules. For the App Store version, go to Applications and Right- click/Control-click Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Editor and choose Show Package Contents à Contents and move TWAIN.plugin from Optional Plug-ins à ImportModules to Plug-ins à ImportModules. N.B. If you see a message warning that plug-ins can't be modified. Click Authenticate and enter your Mac OS X account password -then move the plug-in.

As of today photoshop 11 will not recognize my scanner.

As of today, Photoshop 11 will not recognize my scanner. It was working fine before. My scanner is connected via wifi. Yesterday I lost the wifi connection so i reinstalled the scanner (cannon printer MG6120). Now it prints photos ok but I can not scan. It gives me an error that says I must connect my scanner to the computer.

Brian, Thank you for your help. I went to preferences and changed to a different printer and know it works. Thanks again.

Itunes won't recognize new credit in Itunes

Hi Chris
Thank you for your help sorry it has taken me so long to reply to you.
I solved my problem with Itunes gift card after many frustrating hours. I went to purchase another song it did the same thing as before (went straight to the billing page) but this time I hit a credit card icon it asked me to bring up details; I deliberately entered wrong numbers so forth and so on. I deleted all the credit card details and hit NONE and I found I could then exit the page. That action seemed to trigger a correction for purchase; and I could then download without too much trouble.

IMac with Mavericks won't recognize new 60D

iMac with Mavericks won't recognize new 60D

No drivers are required on the Mac to use the camera. The Mac will natively recongize the camera.
You can install Canon's supplemental software or you can use the Apple provided software or 3rd party software.
However... when you connect a camera to a Mac and it recognizes the camera, you *can* configure what you want the computer to launch. By default, a Mac will usually launch iPhoto.
If you open iPhoto (do this EVEN if you don't want to use iPhoto) then go into iPhoto -> Preferences and look at the "General" category. You'll see an option that reads: "Connecting camera opens:" with a selection menu next to it. You can use that menu to pick what you want your Mac to do, then close and quite iPhoto.
When connecting the camera to the computer, do the following:
Turn the camera off
Use the supplied USB cord to attach the camera to the computer (some caveats here... I'll mention them below).
Power the camera on after it's attached.
About those caveats on step 2.
The reason I say "use the supplied USB cord" instead of use any USB cord is because if you're like me... you've got LOTS of USB cords laying around. Some of these come with devices that use USB for charging purposes. And some of those USB cables ONLY bother to wire the power supply pins and not the data transfer pins. In other words... it looks like a normal cable, but wont actually allow for data transfer. You will need to take care to make sure you're using a proper cable.
Next I should caveat the use of USB hubs. Whenever you're having a problem with a computer not recognizing a USB device, it's a good idea to disconnect extraneous USB devices that have nothing to do with your issue AND if there's a USB "hub" involved... bypass the hub and connect the camera directly to a USB port on the computer itself.
I use a USB hub and this particular hub is reliable... but truthfully I had to buy three different hubs before I found one that worked reliably. I've discovered there are a lot of flakey hubs on the market. When in doubt... bypass the hub. If you find that you can get your computer to recognize your camera on a consistent basis if you bypass the hub then you can direct your attention to finding a reliable hub.
That's the end of the caveats.
I wrote a response to a user with a similar issue in which I detail the steps to use the Mac's System Information utility to determine if the camera is showing up as connected to the camera. You can find that post here:

Photoshop CS4 won't print on a new Canon Pixma Pro 10 - Mac Yosemite -

New Epson Pixma Pro 10. Printer works well with other applications, but just sends out blank pages when printing from Adobe Photoshop CS4. Canon suggested I use their plug, Print Studio Pro, and this worked with a file with layered images and text. However, it would not work with a file that had 3 text layers (two of which were hidden) unless I flattened the image. According to Canon, the plug in is supposed to work only with jpegs, but it did work with psd and tifs (when flattened). Any ideas on how I can get it to work directly from Photoshop.

Thanks for your help - I did find and download the Photoshop update to 11.0.2 and went to the Yosemite developer page you mentioned and do not see how to download the update, so I guess I will just have to wait for that to be released.
That's fine, you should do OK with Yosemite 10.10.1.
I'm glad you found the CS4 11.0.2 update. I nearly hit the roof when I read another post of yours with the "suite auto updates" nonsense after I had explained to you why one cannot rely on Adobes utterly useless auto updaters.
The hapless Adobe auto updater team in India began to get their act together only as of the CS6 updates, but they are back to their unparalleled incompetence in CC and CC2014.
In case you missed it, here's the link to the latest Canon Printer Drivers v3.1 for OS X from Apple, available to the general public, which sounds a lot newer than what you have. There's no reason for you to stick to "Print Studio 1.3.6" whatever that may be.

Photoshop CS4 won't launch

I'm getting this error message "Could not open scratch file because the disk is not available."
The disk is mounted and on the desktop. All I did was go into photoshop CS4 and add another scratch area which is one of the Hard drives mounted on the desk top. I'm running the latest Leopard 10.5.7 my Mac is Dual-Core Intel with 9GB ram, The Hard drive I have Photoshop on is a new 1TB Seagate and a similar one using for the other scratch disk. I had just installed this new HD formatted it OK and Carbon copy cloned every thing from my back Up. I was running Photoshop for a while then I realized I wanted to add another scratch disk area (or disk). I quit Photoshop after I made the change and tryed to open it when I got the error.

Why the heck did you do that, James?
I said highlight the icon of the bloody HARD DRIVE you want to designate as a scratch drive; not the darned Photoshop application icon!
CHECK the "Ignore ownership on this volume" box.
James Bechdel wrote:

So what??? If you want to do editing on another drive you can still launch the one and only copy that will work on your bloody machine, namely the one installed and activated on your startup drive.
Any other copies of Photoshop you have installed on different drives attached to your computer WILL NOT BE ACTIVATED, they won't even launch, they won't work at all! However, they will confuse the hell out of the working copy of Photoshop.
When you edit video you can just boot off the same startup drive. Who led you on that totally screwed path? Had you ever used a Mac before? You have to learn Mac 101.

Photoshop CS4 doesn't recognize camera raw plugin on yosemite

Hi there,
I've been using Photoshop CS4 with the camera raw plugin for many years without issue. I recently got a new computer with Yosemite and when I installed PsCS4 it no longer worked with RAW files (5D mkii). I just tried downloading the newest version of the camera raw plugin, but Photoshop doesn't seem to recognize it. What can I do?

The “latest version of camera raw” would be ACR 8.7.1 and that is only compatible with PS-CS6 or newer.
PS-CS4 would probably install with ACR 5.0 but the 5D Mark II needs at least ACR 5.2. The latest version of ACR you can install for PS-CS4 is ACR 5.7 which may be what you had on your old computer.
The usual way to update your Camera Raw plug-in would be to do PS / Help / Updates and let it check to see what is available, so try that.
I am not sure if that process still works, but you’re in luck because Adobe was still putting links to their installers on the website back in the CS4 era, so you should be able to download an installer and run it to get ACR 5.7 installed, from here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106 <http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Macintosh> &platform=Macintosh
It’s possible that something in the newest OS will prevent this installer from working, of course, but at least try.
You can check what version of the ACR plug-in you have installed by doing PS / About Plug-in / Camera Raw
