PS won't recognize new scanner

Photoshop (nor Acrobat Professional) from CS3 will not recognize my Epson 3200 scanner. I've installed it through System Preferences, rebooted, but still nothing. How do I get them to see my scanner?
Mac OS X.6.8
Thanks

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?

Itunes won't recognize new credit in Itunes

itunes won't recognize new credit in itunes store and goes straight to billing page so I cannot purchase anything; also play button won't activate when in itunes stor. Susanne

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:

IPhone won't recognize new Apple ID

I updated my desktop iTunes to the new Apple ID - added an @aol.com to the end - per the new "rules". Now my iPhone 4s will not recognize my new password and prompts me to update my account when I type the old one. Can't update apps or sign into iTunes on my phone. I keep getting the pop-up "You need to update your account with iTunes Desktop." I've done that. When the prompt pops up for me to enter my password to update my apps it says my ID WITHOUT the @aol.com, which leads me to believe my phone doesn't "know" my "new" username. I've done soft resets on the phone (two), signed in and out of everything associated with iTunes and iCloud and tried putting in passwords dating back to a year. It won't recognize my new password but throws the "you need to update" prompt up when I try to use an old password. HALP.

I have taken the steps you said to do, but my iPhone is not recognizing my "old" password that I need to put in to turn off "Find my iPhone." I can't sign out. Which means I can't sign back in. I am able to sign in to forums like this with my new apple ID. But I can't get into my iCloud on my laptop. It seems like in order to try to deal with this problem I have changed my ID and password so many times that now I can barely log in anywhere. Should I just go to a Verizon or Apple store? Can they override my system and reset everything or something?

Lombard won't recognize new battery

After years of inactivity I wanted to give my old Lombard G3 to my little child so I bought new battery and new AC charger.
Now the problem is that Lombard won't recognize the new battery at all. Red cross on battery icon on top and empty slot in strip below.
I reset the Power manager as indicated here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
Also running Battery Reset 2.0 doesn't give me any results.
What can I do now?
Thanks in advance for any help.

fabiosko,
I'll just throw out some additional suggestions and comments.
-Does the battery have any charge, i.e. do any of the LEDs light up when you press the test button?
-Although it should make no difference, reset the PRAM also:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
-Is your new power adapter 45 watts or more?
-Try the battery in the right bay.
-Allow the battery to sit in the powerbook overnight with the power adapter connected. Sometimes a non-charging battery will begin to charge again and it may also apply to a battery that is not recognized.
-Do you know someone with a Lombard or Pismo with whom you could swap batteries?
-The reputation of third-party replacement batteries is not the highest. You may have a bad battery and will need to exchange it.

Printer won't recognize new cartridge

My printer (All-in-one, 1200 series) won't recognize a new cartridge.
When the present one ran out of ink, I purchased a brand new Hp cartridge. When I installed it, it says E (error) and won't do anything. Thinking there was something wrong with this crtridge, I purchased another one....same thing.
I put in the empty cartridge, and it prints, but nothing comes out as it is empty.
Today, I called HP tech support, and they told me my printer was old and that I need to buy a new one!!!!!
Some help!
I didn't have any refill black ink, but I do have colored. I put blue ink in the empty black cartridge, and it is printing again beautifully.
Can anyone tell me why the printer won't print with the brand new cartridges????

Hey Foldy,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
For the printer not recognizing the new ink cartridge that is installed, I have included two documents for you to follow. The first one is 'Check Print Cartridge Light Blinking'. Some of the steps you have already completed, please do the steps that you have not done already.
The second document is 'The Print Cartridge Detected is the Wrong Type'. Again some of the steps you will have already completed, please complete the steps that you haven't.
If you are still having the same issue after this, please let me know if the error has changed, and what lights are blinking on the printer.
Looking forward to your reply.

Time Machine won't recognize new external hard drive

I recently had a problem with My Passport and had to buy a new one. I have plugged it in and reformatted it and now Time Machine won't recognize it even though it shows on my desktop and the disk utility doesn't see any problem. Any ideas?

Disable Time Machine from System Preferences.
Choose Select disk button, remove the old TM backup disk and add the new one.

Computer won't recognize new Shuffle

Just got my new 4th Gen. Shuffle in the mail and connected it to my mac laptop but it won't recognize it. I've tried "resetting" the shuffle using Apple's directions, I've restarted my computer, downloaded the latest version of iTunes and NOTHING! Anyone else having issues? Do I need to call? This is ridiculous...

First, run through the Apple troubleshooting suggestions:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/shuffle2gen/
That is for an older version of the ipod, but I would imagine that it will give you some good ideas.
If none of that helps, I would suggest completely uninstalling all the Apple stuff and reinstalling. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall itunes and whatever else was installed for Apple - that includes their USB software.
Then, reinstall it all.
One other thing to try before doing all that is to shut down your computer and disconnect everything except for your keyboard, mouse and ipod. Then start it up again. If it comes up, then you know that some other USB thing on the bus was conflicting with your iPod. Also make sure you are connecting directly to the computer, not through a hub - just to make sure. If it works, then maybe try using the hub again. If it fails after that, you know it was the hub causing an issue. If it works, reconnect your USB items one at a time and restart after each reconnect until you find what was conflicting.
Hope that helps,
i

G5 won't recognize new RAM

I bought two sticks of this RAM http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other...g/3200DDR1024/ and put it in my Dual G5, following these instructions http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/pdf/g5/memory_c.pdf , but when I go to 'ABout this Mac,' it doesn't recognize that I've added RAM. I put the two sticks in slots 3 and 4 of the bottom half. I then tried putting the RAM into slots 3 on top and 3 on bottom, and then 4 on top and 4 on bottom....but it still won't recognize it. Did I do something wrong?

After reading your problem again, I believe we probably had the exact same thing. I have great news, though--my memory finally went down.
After reading the Crucial instructions (see my earlier post) I was more bold about the amount of force to use in pushing the sticks down, and I still couldn't get them down.
To check if the slots were in the wrong place, I ejected one of the original Apple sticks and compared the side of it to the side of the new sticks, and sure enough they were identical. At that point I decided to push even harder--it actually took an INSANE amount of force to get the sticks to click down--it was quite painful for my finger tips. If you guys have seen the instructional video on how to install memory on the OWC website, this was nothing like that. After sweating and applying a brutal amount of force, the sticks did finally pop down and the two side tabs clicked into place. When I booted the computer, the memory was there!
I would just caution you to make sure you're pushing straight down, because with that amount of force, pushing at any angle other than vertical would surely break the stick.
Good luck,
Ashwin

Mac won't recognize new color ink cartridge in printer

I just changed out my color ink cartridge on my HP printer when it ran out, whilst my printer recognized the new cartridge right away and printed out test pages, the Mac still won't recognize it. The message I get is "Color Print Cartridge Out of Ink". I have tried clicking on everything including Calibrate, Test, Clean etc, they all give me the same message, I can't get past it. Help!

Yes I have done that several times. I have also deleted the printer from printer setup utility and reloaded it. I have also connected the printer to an old laptop of mine and it printed there with no problems. However back on the Mac, it just won't let me print, the same message keeps coming up. Very frustrated...

Won't recognize my scanner, printing works though

I recently switched my printer to my MacBook Air running latest software (10.8.3) as my PC died. When installing, it found the right driver automatically for my Brother DCP 8060 CUPS. I am able to print just fine. However have spent several hours trying to get it to recognize the scanner to no avail.
Troubleshooting I have tried was to remove the Brother's driver and reinstall with apples latest Brother printer drivers (i found it here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL894) and then re-connected my printer. Same result. I can print but can't scan. The Image Capture app shows no scanner. Preview's "Import from Scanner" is greyed (non-clickable).
I also followed the instructions from Brother's site for Mac 10.8 driver downloads for both printer and scanner (found here http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us/en/dlf/download_index.html ?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=dcp8060_all&dlid=&flang=English&os=115&type2=-1) as well as tried to update the printer firmware per this page (firmware update failed as "couldn't find device). The TWAIN Scanner driver installed but set up failed stating it couldn't find the scanner.
Note, this is not a wireless printer. I am connecting it via a serial to USB cable.
I am not sure what to do. If anyone has a suggestion..?

Well, I figured out the problem. The usb port on the printer was damaged (prongs were bent). After I fixed it, it connected!

Integrated my Itunes with limewire but won't recognize new songsHELP!

OK. I downloaded limewire...and then i downloaded iTunes.The limewire comes with iTunes integration once you have both and when you do a folder comes up in ur itunes mainscreen about owners limewire tunes.Well i looked in the troubleshooting part and found out how to get that folder into my library so i could sort them into playlists because im not the only one that uses this computer(and you can't put them into playlists if they aren't in your library)so now once i did that and got my playlists sorted out, now when I download the new songs they go right back into my owners limewire tunes and not the library ... so it's like all that was for nothing.... PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

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...

WON'T RECOGNIZE NEW IPOD - 5th Gen.

I just purchased the new 5th Gen, 30 GB - after having had TWO 3rd and 4th Gen IPODS - both malfunctioing on me and of course, not being able to replace them with an actual NEW ipod, and not a "refurbished" one.
I have been trying for DAYS to load this new ipod with my music and my PC won't even recognize it??
I have gone through trouble shooting, restarted my pc, uninstalled/reinstalled software, unplugged/replugged wires. It keeps saying something about the USB connector...??
I am SERIOUSLY frustrated and on the verge of bringing this thing back for a refund b/c i have HAD IT with apple.
PLEASE, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT'S WRONG?

It's saying "Firewire cables are not supported. To transfer songs, connect the USB cable provided"??? But that is what I've been doing?! I have been connecting my ipod to my pc with the wire that came with the ipod.
Then I even tried using the wire that came with the previous generation ipods - which has the little square piece that goes into the ipod and then the wire splits in two, and one wire goes into (what I think is) the firewall socket in my pc, and the other wire goes into this other socket.
That is what use to work with my other ipods. WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THIS ONE?? Do I need another USB wire??

Disk Utility won't recognize new hard drive

Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
The original hard drive (80 GB) went bad, so I replaced with a new 160 GB Western Digital one. I formatted the hard drive using Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Disk. It worked the first time I booted into Leopard (I just booted up to make sure the OS loaded...didn't install any new software and/or hardware).
Then I shut it down and started it back up, and the computer didn't recognize the hard drive. I inserted the Mac OS X disk and ran Disk Utility, but the hard drive was not recognized.
So now I'm thinking the new hard drive was also bad. So, I ordered another one (Seagate 160 GB) and it to was not recognized when I ran Disk Utility from the Mac OS X disk.
When replacing all of them, I followed directions I found here and other websites. They all said to do it the same way, so I'm assuming the directions for replacing a hard drive in a laptop were correct.
I searched Google and found several posts suggesting using an application called Disk Warrior, but from my understanding, you cannot run it from a disk, it needs to be installed, which is obviously impossible since the hard drive isn't recognized.
Then I ran Open Firmware and did "devalias" from the prompt. From what I can tell in the list of hardware, the hard drive is recognized, but I am not sure. I took a picture of the screen printout but do not see an option to attached it to this post. Therefore, I'll just tell what it said for now and will create an image hosting account so I can add a URL for it later.
In the list, "hd" is in the left column and in the right column of the same line is "/pci@f4000000/ata-6@d/disk@0" (without quotes).
If anybody has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
I've replaced a few hard drives, and in instances where it's not recognized, it's either been a cable connection issue or I've seen others with a jumper issue. Either the hard drive to logic board cable isn't properly set, typically on the logic board side, or a jumper was left on the drive, where typically you can just remove it. I haven't personally had the cable fail, however, that's possible too.
When you pulled the large plug from the back of the original hard drive, did you do it very carefully? It's not like a desktop hard drive plug that you can just pull out ... it needs to be wiggled out, gently. I have a hard time believing two new drives would be essentially DOA, although the first one worked for a bit, which leads me to wonder about the physical connections.
Since you have your original OS X disks, you could try running the Apple hardware test to see if it gives you any error message(s).
