Run lide 25 scanner on 10.8

I have an 07 imac thats been upgraded to mountian lion every thing is going ok except using my scanner. Its a cannon lide 25, when looking for a driver update they only have drivers for windows os. I have a copy of parrels for mac but this just slows down the whole computer and seems very slow and unresponsive at times. all that im after is either a driver or program that can opperate the scanner any sugestions would be much appricated

On day 3 of mountain lion taming I have got to finding out what still works and what doesn't
My Canon lide 500f works fine with VueScan 9 x32 (9.0.70) - probably actually UB - activated using the TWAIN option in GraphicConverter and after a bit of plugging/unplugging, but nothing new there. That is for the 35mm negative accessory. For Flatbed, the Image Capture option is simpler. No need for non-existant 64bit driver or workarounds.
I very rarely use CS4,(only if layers are absolutely essential), but that works too; no idea what the Java 6 thing is about, just install it. Latest FocusMagic now works in GraphicConverter too in about a 1/10th of the time it did in CS 32bit

  • Upgraded to OS X 10.9 and now cannot connect to Canoscan LIDE 90 Scanner. Cant find a new driver anywhere. Any ideas??

    I have upgraded to OS X 10.9 and now I cannot connect to my Canoscan LIDE 90 Scanner. Cant find a new driver anywhere. Any ideas??

    Like Dan White, I have found that I can still run the Lide 90 under Mavericks. As Dan says, the buttons on the front of the scanner don't work but I rarely if ever used them.
    I have just tested the scanner using Acrobat Pro and it loads up the Scangear software to capture the scan, with no problems at all. I didn't have to reinstall anything as it was all there already and working in Mountain Lion. Photoshop CS 5.1 is different; it does not recognise the scanner, presumably because it can't find a TWAIN driver for it. Image Capture does not recognise the scanner either, but I don't have the latest (10.8) Canon MP Explorer and Explorer Opener software installed.

  • LiDE 200 "scanner driver is not installed" error

    I am struggling on a MacBook Pro to restore functionality of a Canon LiDE 200 scanner after it mysteriously began returning the error message:
    The scanner driver supported by this software is not installed. Install again and then retry.
    The error first appeared under 10.5.8. Troubleshooting that I've attempted:
    Downloading new versions of driver (1482) and MP Navigator EX (2.04) from Canon's website
    Downloading Apple's Canon printer drivers version 2.3
    Logging in as a "test user" and attempting to scan through the Canon application as well as Image Capture.
    No luck
    I then loaded that software onto a different laptop computer, which is running 10.6.3. The scanner works fine.
    So I returned to the MacBook Pro and updated it with 10.6.3 (using a simple update to the software, rather than remove and replace etc), then loaded all the Canon software once again. Still getting the same error.
    Next I opened the Canon application on my second laptop and inspected the processes in Activity Monitor to find every active file, which I then carefully deleted from the MacBook Pro. I also deleted all preferences that I could find. Then, again, I re-loaded the Canon and Apple software and updates. Still getting the error message.
    Stumped.

    Hello Doug,
    I also have a LiDE200 and based on your recent findings I have been checking my user Library for files relating to the scanner, however there does not appear to be anything.
    Under the root Library there is the Image Capture folder and inside is the Devices folder which has the Canon IJScanner plugin. This is the ICA plugin which is used by Image Capture and Preview. Also inside the Image Capture folder is the TWAIN Data Sources folder, which houses the LiDE200.ds file that is used by TWAIN applications, such as MP Navigator.
    These are the two scanner driver resources and with their location they are available to all users. So with only the admin user account having the error there must be something within the admin library but I haven't been able to find what that could be.
    Have you ever had a different model of Canon scanner or even another brand of scanner previously? I know that with a previous Canon scanner that used the CanoScan application, there was a plugin for responding to the buttons being pressed on the scanner. If this application and associated files have been brought across to the new install with you user library, then this may be causing the conflict.
    I'll keep poking around today and reply with more if I find anything.

  • Re: Trouble with peripherals (CanoScan LIDE 30 Scanner & HP LaserJet 1020)

    The Canon CanoScan LIDE 30 scanner didn't have any autodetection, so I want to the Canon Web site to look for drivers. I grabbed the drivers, packaged in a .dmg file, from Canon. Running the setup file, I was a bit perplexed what it wanted me to do, so I installed the drivers in the Applications directory and rebooted the system when prompted.
    That did nothing - I still couldn't access the scanner. I tried a couple other places - root of the hard drive, /Library/Image Capture... nothing.
    I'm at a complete loss here, and couldn't figure out how to do it.
    And the printer.
    I hooked up the HP LaserJet 1020 to the Mac. Nothing happened, so I went into the Print & Fax System Utility to set it up. The printer browser was able to detect it, but there was no listing for the HP LaserJet 101 in the driver selections. Hewlett Packard doesn't offer Mac drivers for the printer.
    Anything I can do to get these two peripherals working?
    Feel free to CC responses to [email protected]

    The Canon CanoScan LIDE 30 scanner usually installs a file "N124u-buttonmanager" in your Login items (actually the standard install used to put the "buttonmanager" for both the LiDE 20 and LiDE 30 scanners, see this User Tip: kmosx2: Looking for devices matching vendor..).
    Their more recent software is better behaved: I have an all in one, and there are no Login items, everything is installed in a "Canon Utilities" folder inside "/Applications".
    So, if the software you downloaded includes a "buttonmanager", make sure you choose the right one (see the User Tip) and put it in your login items (System Preferences > Accounts).

  • Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize Canon Lide 200 Scanner

    My recently installed Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize my  Canon Lide 200 scanner even though Adobe Photoshop CS2 does.  I don't know what the problem is and how to solve it.

    Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 was recently installed on new Vista 64bit computer and functions with all programs and even prints to my Dell 1600n printer, but when I try to scan from the printer, it causes this error message and shuts Acrobat down:
    "ADOBE ACROBAT HAS STOPED WORKING A Problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    I have lived with this since I bought the computer a month ago. Still no solution from Adobe and no response to an email that I sent to adobe support.

  • How to Run a SCSI Scanner with Firewire In OS X?

    Does anyone know how to run a SCSI scanner with Firewire in Mavericks?
    I have unsuccessfully tried the RATOC FR1SX SCSI-to-Firewire converter. The Ratoc is recognized as a Firewire device in the System Profiler (see pic below). However, the VueScan scanning software does not recognize the scanner.  I know the scanner works because I have been using it in an old HP PC. As such I  installled Windows 7 64 bit via Boot Camp to see if I could use the scanner, but had no luck.
    I have an iMac 21.5-inch, Mid 2010.
    ANY HELP?

    The Mac scanner driver is not seeing it as a native SCSI device assuming VueScan supports the model of scanner you have. (You did not list the scanner model.)
    Other than getting a modern non-SCSI scanner, a possible option would be to get a Thunderbolt PCI expansion chassis and a 'real' SCSI interface card. There is no guarantee this will work though as SCSI has been discontinued in the Mac world for years and years. If you then want to look at a SCSI card for use with the expansion chassis then look at the following.
    Hmm, just looked the AttoTech SCSI cards have been discontinued as well, as I said SCSI is ancient history in the Mac world.

  • No driver for Canon Lide 80 scanner?

    I recently bought a Mac Mini with Lion installed to replace my old Windows PC and upgraded my late 2009 Imac to Lion to be able to use iCloud between my UK base and my second home in France. Everything went well until I realised that neither my Canon Lide 80 scanner or my Canoscan 4400F wwould work with Lion. I am waiting for a responsse from Canon but, meanwhile, any ideas for a workaround? My trusty old HP 920C printer is recognised as a generic printer and works fine but, it seems, there are no generic scanner drivers.

    Thank you John. Vuescan worked for my Canoscan 4400F but, in fact, led me back to Canon support where the driver and toolbox, formerly unavailable, had been updated to my scanner. A very satisfying solution.

  • CanoScan LiDE 700F Scanner not opening up

    Whenever I try to scan anything with CanoScan LiDE 700F scanner my computer gives the message "scanner reported an error. An error ocurred while communicating with the scanner." I have to unplug and plug back the USB port and only hten it opens up.  When I try to open the scanner with System Preferences, scanner opens up, but as soon as I hit "scan" the same error message pops up.  I uploaded the latest driver from Canon website, but the problem persists.  I also deleted and re-installed the sanner in system preferences, but it didn't help.
    It used to work fine when I initially installed it (on Leopard), but then suddenly this problem arose.

    This same error message was first noticed on 10.6. It would only occur after waking the Mac from sleep. Prior to the sleep state you could scan using Image Capture without error. But if the Mac entered a sleep state with the scanner connected, after waking it and then trying to scan, the error message would appear. And as you have found, the quick solution is to unplug the USB cable and then reconnect it.
    This problem only occurs with Canon scanners that use USB power. The models that have their own power supply, or the All In One devices with scanner, do not suffer the same fate. Apple Engineering is aware of this and have told me that it is up to Canon to fix.
    Note that the same problem does not occur when using Canon's MP Navigator application. This application uses the full TWAIN-based scanner driver, whereas Image Capture and Preview use the ICA driver, and works fine after waking the Mac from a sleep state.

  • LIDE USB Scanner

    I have a Canon LIDE 700F scanner. I am able to use Image Capture on my Mac Pro with this scanner (no need to load the Canon software). However, my Image Capture does not appear to recognize this scanner at all. Any ideas why? Does it have something to do with the type of USB port?
    Thanks

    Good Luck,

  • Lide 80 scanner problem

    I have an iMac G-5 and a Lide 80 scanner which I have not used for several months. When I tried to use it, the Cannon toolbox said the driver was not found. I went to Canon and they had me uninstall and reinstall the scanner software to no avail. The same exact problem is happening with my G-4 17 ". I also tried image capture which could not find the scanner and Read Iris 9 which also cound not find it. I checked the system profiler and it is there under USB. It sounds like a problem with 10.4.6. Does anyone have any advice? I appreciate your help in advance.
    Don

    Check the System Profiler to see if the scanner is connected. Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info -> look in the USB section of the hardware items.
    If it isn't there, then try a different USB cable between the scanner and the computer.
    If that doesn't get it to show upon a refresh of the System Profiler, then it may be a PRAM/NVRAM, or hardware issue.
    To see if it is PRAM or NVRAM, see this article:

  • CanoScan LiDE 60 scanner driver problems

    I'm usually pretty good at troubleshooting software issues on my iMac, but this scanner problem has me absolutely stumped!!! My old Canon CanoScan LiDE 60 scanner stopped working the other day...out of the blue. I have been using the ScanGear software without a hitch, and now every time I open the program, I get a "Failed To Open Driver" message. I figured out that I obviously needed to upgrade my software and drivers. I did some research online and was told I needed to install the new CanoScan software and driver from the Canon website. This scanner model is technically not supported by Snow Leopard, but some people got it to work!! Well...I tried that, followed all instructions correctly, then restarted my Imac and replugged my scanner USB cord. I opened the ScanGear software again, but I still have the missing driver message!! I've been trying several little tricks to get it work, but still nothing. I'm at the point where I need to start from scratch and uninstall everything related to the scanner, but I'm not sure how to do that correctly either, removing all the orphaned data! Can someone please give me a step-by-step process what I need to do?

    Guys, thanks for this. I've had similar problems but with your help and others solved both issues for the Toolbox and Driver (OS X10.6.8):
    Make sure all previous drivers downloads etc are deleted, inc the DMG files etc and disconnect the scanner.
    You can then download the latest Toolbox from the UK site [dated Feb 2011] (it doesn't require you to reboot, for some strange reason??). Then download the latest driver from the Australian site. You have to reboot then.
    Everything seems to work fine. No preview as before unfrotunately but goes a treat. Hope that helps guys.

  • CanonScan LiDE 110 Scanner problem

    I have just recently purchased a new CanoScan LiDE 110 scanner. I am  using it with my new iMac computer (2013 model, 10.9 Mavericks O.S. I like to use the sleep mode on my iMac. When I awaken my computer from the sleep mode,  the scanner is reluctant to reconnect and work. In order to use the scanner I  have to reboot my computer to get power to the scanner. Is this a common problem with this scanner? How do I solve it. Once powered the scanner works beautifully. Having to reboot every time I use the scanner is very bothersome.  On my old iMac (2007 model) I had an older canon scanner.  It worked just fine coming out of the sleep mode. Always turned on the way it should.
    Hopefully, someone has some insight into this situation.
    Bob Mc Farland

    Thank you for your support.
    I already re-installed the software but it's still have the same problem. I got the software from canon website.

  • How do you get canoscan lide 110 scanner to display in "file import" menu?

    I have several older versions of Photoshop Elements running on various computers.  In ALL of them, if you go to "File>Import" you see "Canoscan LIDE xx".  when you choose it, there is a great scanning application that runs. On a newer computer, i had Photoshop CS5.5 installed.  It only shows WIA under the import menu.  The scanning software there is horrible.  I tried installing the same scanner (lide 110) on an older computer running older photoshop elements and it showed up.  i then installed a older version of the elements software on the new computer.  Again, the scanner showed up.  Not wanting to break licensing agreements, i just downloaded a brand new version of photoshop elements 12 and installed it.  it only shows WIA in the file/import menu and not the scanner. therefore, i dont have the scanning software/application i need.  without it, this version of elements is 100% useless to me.  can someone please help me get my scanner to appear in the "file>import" menu?  Yes, i do have the latest version of software downloaded from canon's website.

    Hi,
    I believe that this is where PC & MAC versions differ.
    The PC version  will "get from scanner" in the organizer but the MAC version has to "Import from scanner" in the editor. I don't know why they act differently.
    It has been posted on this forum (can't find thread at the moment) a fix for the windows version of copying a module from a previous version if you had one. That is not an official fix.
    If I find the link I'll post back.

  • I need to run a old scanner with my macbook pro

    Hi
    I just got an old Imacon Photo scanner, which uses the software "flexcolor 4.0.4 mac". The latest mac OS the software is compatible with would be 10.5.x (leopard).
    I was wondering, how I could get the scanner going with my set-up:
    My primary mac is a macbook pro (10.9.4), which is way to modern for the mentioned software. When buying the scanner it came with a mac g4 tower, which has an OS (10.4.11) that is able to run the software. I have no screen for the tower, though.
    I was thinking about the following solutions:
    1. Get parallels on my macbook pro, and then run the software with leopard. The tricky part is the fact that the only connection to the scanner is with a scsi cabel, and there is no scsi card in my macbook pro.
    2. Use the mac g4 tower with the scanner (which works), and then use the macbook pro as a monitor, if that is possible?
    3. The easy solution, buy a screen for the mac g4 tower, and only run the scanner through that. (but it is slow)
    about the software:
    System Requirements
    Mac OS X vers.10.2.1 to 10.5.x (Leopard) is supported.
    Compatibility
    FlexColor 4.0.4 does not support SCSI on Intel based Macs.
    Make sure before upgrading to OS 10.5 ( Leopard ), that your SCSI card is supported under this OS.
    This and future version(s) will not offer support for OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
    link: (link)
    thanks,
    Deniz Gül

    OK, missed the SCSI requirement - go tohttps://www.google.com/#q=scsi+to+usb+adapter and look at the SCSI to USB adapter cables to connect the scanner to the Mac.

  • Any product like the CanonScan LiDe 600F scanner (doesn't work with Windows8)

    I had a CanonScan LiDE 600F that allowed me to enter text right on the scanned picture.  Allowed me to crop, correct red eye, etc.  As I am copying lots of older pictures to do a slide show I would like to continue to show names on the picture so grand children and great grand children will know whom they are looking at.  I can't seem to find a Canon scanner that allows this. 
    Any help would be appreciated - if no Canon's does anyone know of any others?  I no longer have the 600F as I could not get any drivers or whateve I needed to work with Windows 8 (which I hate).  Doesn't seem to be a scanner forum?

    Is this not a W8 driver?
