Scanjet 8300 and Mac OS X 10.9

Does a Mac with OS 10.9 (Maverick) need a new driver in order for a Scanjet 8300 to work?
After scanning, I get this error message when I try to save the image: An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only."
When will a driver be available?
Is there a workaround?
Thanks

I was just testing this solution and run into the same issue with the second document I try and save. The first one after opening HP Scan always seems to save. Unfortunately, even when it does save the image is completely gray. This happens no matter what image format I use.
I will have to see if there is going to be a Mavericks update for a product this old.

Hi Ed,
Not certain on their scanner SW, but on their Printer SW you usually have to remove the old files, their uninstaller only removes a few, and the CD versions are almost always out of date.

Apple will not let me update my HP Scanner 8300 and will not update it from it's own sources.

I updated my HP Scanjet 8300 a few weeks ago after I received a message on my computer that updates for printer & scanner were available. I have had nothing but trouble since then with the scanner. I also inherited the Trovi virus after that update.
I tried to update the scanner again today, making sure I went through the HP website for downloads. I downloaded the update and followed the instructions for proper installation. This included deleting my present software.   When I tried to install the software update that I successfully downloaded, I got a popup with this message:
"HP Scanjet Update for OS X 10.7.mpkg" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. "
Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers.
“HP Scanjet Update for OS X 10.7.mpkg” is on the disk image “HP-Scanjet-Update-for-OS-X-10.7.dmg”. Safari downloaded this disk image today at 10:10 AM from h10025.www1.hp.com.
I went back to Apple updates and found information that HP no longer updated our HP appliances and that MAC OS X Mountain Lion automatically provided these updates for their Mac users. I restarted my computer expecting to see improvement, but now my scanner is completely gone from my computer and no updates are available.   I am outraged that Apple would completely disable my scanner. I use it all the time.
I really need help. Please!
I originally installed the scanner when I had Snow Leopard.   I now have Mountain Lion - not because I didn't like Snow Leopard, but because I had my computer repaired and they installed Mountain Lion.

I am sorry for the delay in answering. TWC email sometimes takes several days to get to me.
I am embarrassed to say that I did not read closely the message that was provided when I clicked on Control Clicked / Open. I did go back and continue the process and thought I had installed the update. The end message stated that the installation was successful, but I could not find the scanner anywhere, even with intense searching. I have reinstalled it twice again with no scanner installed. I did find files in the Saved Application State but they take only a few KBs of space and the software should have taken 22.4 MBs.
I have messages now posted in two different HP Communities and will continue to try that route to help, but right now it looks dismal. If you have any more explanations or advice I would love hearing from you. Could the Trovi component cause this problem? I thought I was rid of it but I don't really know what to look for other than not having it take over my home page - which it has not done recently.
I really appreciate your help, and I take your advice to heart about not using the older CD and I will not attempt to revert to Snow Leopard. I am really afraid it would mess up iPhoto and that would be devastating.

HP Scanjet 4890 and MBP - HP software crashes

I bought this Scanjet via Applestore.
It was easy to set up. It will happily scan a small photo and it will also work, using the HP copy utility, as a photocopier with my HP printer via the MBP.
However, if I try to scan a whole A4 page of handwriting, it crashes during the save stage (wanted to PDF the page so I could email it). This happens regardless of whether you change to greyscale, to black and white, to a different resolution.
Presumably it would like more memory... Anyone here know anything about the HP scanjet/Photosmart software and what might cause it to crash in this way when other functions are OK? I have posted on the HP site and if I get anything back from them I'll post it here.
Imogen

This reply from HP email support solved my problem. I thought that their technical support was very good, better than Apple's.

Hewlett Packard Scanners and Macs...

Has anyone here got one to sucessfully work?
I have a HP Scanjet 3500C and when the driver and softwear work - it's great.
The only problem is, that to use the scanner I have got to the point where I simply re-install the Image Zone interface and driver everytime I want to use it, and it will often scan three or four documents before crashing and needing to be re-installed yet again.
I'm 99% sure this is a HP issue, and have sent "millions" of bug reports back to Apple....
The basic problem is that the interface software stops seeing the scanner, and crashes before it's got going.
It's VERY frustrating and is the only real problem I have with my Mac...
I've tried all I know...
Deleted all the software cleared everything off.
Done a full repair on the boot drive from the install disk (with hundreds of permission faults showing when I've done this with the HP software installed)
Run the setup program
Checked for update from HP
Used Cocktail to run all scripts.
What else can I try?
OSX 10.4.6

Hello Walti:
I think you should E-mail HP's technical support people. I have found that they are most responsive.

HP Scanjet 8300 Horizontal Lines when scanning 35mm at 2400 dpi

When I scan HP Scanjet 8300 35mm the horizontal lines at 2400 dpi .. please tell me how can I calibrate the scanner.. or how could I control the light of TMA .. anybody If know about any software regarding this please reply me at [email protected]

[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
Seems a little suspicious, though its kind of a generic error message. Lots and lots of google hits on that one.
Are you sure none of the libs or executables for xorg-* got damaged before the system called for an fsck? The power went out on me once and my hard drive "forgot" about 75% of my kernel modules, although it was a conventional hard drive and not an SSD.
try re-installing some packages:
pacman -S xorg xf86-video-ati ati-dri libgl
(any more anyone can think of?)
[edit]
Is your copy of that bootchart that blurry or is flicker messing with it? It looks like its been resized even at largest setting. I can hardly read it.

Scanjet 8300

I've hit a major snag with my HP Scanjet 8300 scanner. I've been having problems with it over the past week... crashing at hte end of scan jobs while transmitting to the PC. The scanner was still working, but the frequency of problems was growing.
I ran the "check updates" function in the HP Scanning Software and it responded that there were no updates. I went to the HP website and found the HP Print and Scan Doctor. When I ran it, it found a problem with the "fron panel software" and recommended I reinstall the software. So, I uninstalled the software and rebooted, but then discovered that there is no "Full Feature Scanning Software" available for WIndows 8.1 (even though I previouly had a copy). When I folow the Windows support link: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03408379 I see a table that indicates the HP Scanning Software IS supposed to be available. But it isn't. There is a patch for it, but hter software isn't present.
Where can I get a copy of the software? The basic driver is adequate for scanning pictures, but doesn't work for scanning negatives and positive film (slides) which is what I have been using the scanner for.

Hello Daysmith
The Scanjet products are commercial scanners. As such, I suggest posting in the HP Business Support forum for a better chance at finding a solution. This is the HP consumer forums and not as many are familiar with the software and hardware with Scanjets.
You may find the Commercial Scanjet board here.

Can't Get MacBook Pro and Mac Pro to Network

I have a MacBook Pro (2008 - 2.5 Ghz. Core 2 Duo with 4 Gb of RAM running OS X 10.6.7) that I have been connecting to my Mac Pro (2005 - 2 2.66 Ghz Xeon with 20 Gb of RAM running OS X 10.6.7) through an Ethernet switch on my school's network. This has worked without a hitch for years, but when I upgraded to 10.6.7 recently, the MacBook and Mac Pro fail to network. On the MacBook Pro, the Mac Pro's icon doesn't show in the shared area, and on the Mac Pro, I can see the icon for the MacBook Pro, but when I click on the icon to connect, I get the message that "Connection Failed There was an error connecting to the server (name of my MacBook Pro). Check the server name or IP address, and then try again." I have tried a direct connect using the "Connect to Server" under the Go menu on both machines, using their IP addresses, but no luck. Is there something I need to re-set to get these two to talk again? I have other Macs on the same network that my MacBook and my Mac Pro can see, and both machines can connect to them. They just can't connect to each other.
Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have on how to fix this.

I fixed the problem by re-setting the default values for my VirusBarrier X6 anti-virus program.

Want to use a Lacie External Hard Disk with Windows and Mac? Can I?...

Hi, I've just purchased a Lacie Extreme D2 external hard disk, I'm looking to use it to move film clips from my Mac G5 to my Sony Vaio laptop. I'll connect the Mac using Firewire 1 and the PC using USB 1.
I understand there is an issue with setting the compaitibility of the hard disk to either Mac or Windows format but I'm wondering if I can set it to both, so it's possible to transfer these files? The hard disk is Windows and Mac compatible but does it have to be partitioned a certain way?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

Format the drive as FAT or use the Mac format (HFS Extended) and install MacDrive on the PC.

My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that are causing the problem.
I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

HT204291 Airplay mirroring. Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions

Airplay mirroring.
Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions.
Firewall set correctly (allow incoming...)
When I click mirroring to turn it on, teh Apple TV screen goes blank (from its home setting)
Any help appreciated.

Hi!
I figured it out! It was a firewall issue.
I use Handsoff and I checked it before i wrote here. There was no "user defined rule" that denied the communication but when i changed to "All rules" the program displayed several rules regarding AppleTV and its IP.
So if anybody has the same problem make sure you see all rules of your firewall and get rid of the AppleTV related rules generated by the program itself. You dont need to update to the latest iOS on the AppleTV!
I hope that I can help some people with this info to fix the problem.

Flash (is it for me?), Wacom Cintiq 22HD, and Mac Mini

I have Flash as part of the CS6 Master Suite, which I purchased primarily for InDesign, Photoshop and Premiere, but as yet I haven't opened Flash. I'm hoping someone here can save me time by advising me whether Flash is suitable for my purposes. I'm not a professional, just a keen amateur, but I do want to use quality software and equipment to do the finest job I can.
Answers to a previous post in the Illustrator forum (Re: Animation – is Illustrator what I should be using?) suggested that I try Flash.
Background
I'll be using Premiere for converting my audio-visuals to HD format. Back in the 1980s I was right into three-screen slide shows. As part of the transforming, I'll be introducing a small number of video clips (hence my need for Premiere) and also short animation sequences, probably 10 seconds at most. The animation will be done by an artist friend who is keen to extend his talents into computer art. If I buy the computer (some sort of Mac), a Cintiq, load the appropriate software, and then loan it all to Steve and show him how to use it, he'll happily spend as much time as required for the animation. We're bartering: he gets to use a computer and tablet for as long as he wants, I get animation.
A typical animation might involve Steve drawing outlines at appropriate intervals, over a background, then having the software generate the in-betweens. Watercolour-style shading (i.e. not fill-type, monotone colour) would be added, probably manually for each frame, unless the tweening can competently handle watercolour-style shading. For some of Steve's doodlings on his iPad (simplified versions of what we're aiming for), check out http://www.mediafire.com/download/sj731c17co55g5w/Steve's_iPad_Work.zip
We're both new to this and recently spent an afternoon together looking at videos on Flash and the Cintiq. The combination looks like it will work for us, but I have a few questions which I'm hoping some of the experts on this forum can answer. A simple yes or no may save me hours of reading documentation only to find out that something won't work as I want. I'll also include some questions about the Cintiq and Mac Mini in case someone who uses them with Flash can provide answers. I live in a place where I have no access to these devices before I buy. I have to buy 'cold'. Thus my wariness.
Please note: I'm not an artist and Steve isn't computer literate. So some of these questions might appear pretty dumb to an experienced user of Flash/Cintiq.
Ques 1
Is Synfig Studio (as suggested at the end of my Illustrator thread) something I should consider? Or is Flash a better bet?
Ques 2
Does Flash have vector tools that mimic a watercolour paintbrush like in Photoshop? Or is that not possible as a vector, and such effects have to be done outside Flash and then imported as background (or other method)?
Ques 3
When a Flash animation is finished, how is it exported, for example, to Premier? Do you export as h.264?
Ques 4
It is not clear to Steve and I after viewing three Cintiq videos, how the Cintiq interfaces to Flash. Does the Cintiq know about Flash, and appropriates certain drawing tools automatically? Or do you have to tell Flash (or the Cintiq) that this button on the Cintiq now operates this tool in Flash?
Ques 5
Do Flash and Cintiq work well together – and easily?
Ques 6
Do I need a monitor to be able to use Flash with the Cintiq? Or would a Mac Mini be a suitable computer – with the Cintiq acting as monitor? Steve won't ever be using this setup as a computer. He'll be treating the Cintiq as a canvas on which to draw and paint.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi Guy,
I thought I was the only one around who was old enough to have worked on wide screen multi-image slide shows!
Flash may be the right product for you and Steve. I use Flash with an Intuos 4 tablet and it works fine. What you want to do is to search the Flash forums for references to Cintiq. There may be some problems that interfere with your intended use, or it may work exactly as you want. The important element for working with any Wacom product is to be sure that you are using the latest drivers for the Wacom product.
If you choose to use a mac mini, get a new one, one that can use a lot of memory, you'll need it.
You can export Flash files to video in most any file type and compression is installed on the computer. So, if you're going to use a Mac, install Quicktime Pro and you should have everything that you need.
I have never heard of or used Synfig Studio, so I can't comment on that.
Flash's paint tools are different from Photoshop and more similar to Illustrator's. You will have all of the flexibility of the Cintiq to control painting effects, it will take some practice, but you should be able to get the effect that you're describing.
Hope this helps with your decision.

How to connect a 23" Cinema display and mac mini to an AV Receiver?

I am trying to get my 23" Cinema display and Mac Mini to a Yamaha RX-2700 AV Receiver. I am on first name terms with the guy in Maplins because I tried to get an Xbox 360 working with this display before and gave up in the end. The AV receiver has upscaling capability so I thought I'd try again. I tried connecting a HDMI - DVI adapter to the HDMI Out on the receiver and a HMDI to DVI cable from the Mac Mini to the HDMI in with a optical cable for the sound. The sound works fine but I get no display - the LED on the monitor flashes three times with a blank screen so it can't read the signal. Another option suggested was to use a VGA Converter connected to a VGA - HDMI cable but I would like to find out if that would work before going down that route?
I am looking for some advice about whether this type of configuation is possible with the 23" ACD and if so what do I need to buy to make it work? I love the quality of my ACD to avoid having to replace it with a TV to get my multi media life in order.
Many thanks

Im new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experincing a hard drive crash out of the blue, I lost everything. I want to make sure this doesn't happen again. I show backups for my iPhone and my daughter's iPod but my mac doesn't exist. How do I fix tho

I'm new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experiencing a hard drive that went out of the blue, I lost everything. I wanted to use the icloud to back my documents up. I went into the iCloud under settings but it only shows my iPhone and daughter's iPod. How do I get my Mac to back up too? Is there something I need to use to have the documents back up?

You cannot back up your Mac to iCloud. Even backing the whole thing up to another online service would be dubious because it would take a very long time. You should buy an external hard disk and back up to that - even better, buy two and use one to make a Time Machine backup and the other to clone your Mac from time to time, thus giving you a backup from which you can boot in an emergency.
If you wanted to back up a suitably sized selection of data to an online service there are a number of third-party methods available, some of which are examined here:
