Scanning software to work with CS6 and Mountain Lion

Since I upgrading my Mac to OS Mountain Lion 10.8 and downloaded Adobe CS 6 I have been unable to get my Epson Scanner to work properly. Since none of the drivers from the Epson and Adobe websites have worked so that I could scan from photoshop, I am looking into using third party software. Adobe mentioned VueScan in their instructions, but it is expensive and I don't like how it is laid out. It appears that SilverFast only works with 32 bit not the 64 required in CS6.
Has anyone else found scanning software that worked for them?
Or does anyone have an idea of getting the Epson software to work on my machine?
The scanner is an Epson Perfection v600 photo scanner, which is still being sold currently as something that works with new computers.

I have a scanner. I am trying to get a driver or new scanner software to work with it. Someone in a different discussion pointed out an article in MacWorld that goes into why this is not working.
http://www.macworld.com/article/1168305/get_your_scanner_to_work_with_photoshop_cs6.html
I would still be interested to know if anyone has had a positive experience with third party scanning sofware. Vue scan? Silverfast?
Also to the Adobe staff :
This is quoted from the MacWorld article.
Right now, if users are running Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8), they will not be able to scan into Photoshop CS6 as described. According to Adobe, this is an across-the-board problem with the Cocoa classes comprising the scanning interface that it is using in Photoshop. It is neither a user nor a scanner manufacturer issue.
Adobe is aware of the problem, has identified it as an Apple OS issue that they are working with Apple to solve, and offer no time frame for when it will be fixed. "
Any idea on the timeframe or if there will be an anouncement when this is resolved?

CS6 and Mountain Lion

Planning upgrade to both. What bugs should I anticipate? Does it matter which one I do first?

Using Photoshop CS6 and Mountain Lion and so far the only
issue I have had is a jumpy cursor with my Apple Wireless Mouse.
Bridge CS6 and Camera Raw haven't had any problems. Bridge
imports images without issue from my cameras.
Be for warned, you need to install Java seperately as Mountain Lion
no longer ships with it.

Will CS2 work with Apple's Mountain Lion?

Hi,
You might see errors such as "You can't open the application Adobe <App Name XXX> because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
You might also like to visit this page http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/error-powerpc-applications-supported-photoshop.html for a similar scenario with Adobe Photoshop.

Photoshop CS6 and Mountain Lion

I have 2011 Macbook pro with Mtn Lion. Put on PS CS6 and have pixelation and freezing, and I have to force quit. Also cannot see all my 3rd Party plugins. I contacted Adobe (not easy) and they said problems are all due to plugins and thats all they say. No trouble shooting...no nothing. (Plugin manufacturer won't help me either). Apple can't help. I have $3000 computer that is useless.
1. Do I sell computer or wait hoping Apple or Adobe will get this together?
2. Other choice is install WIndows 7 on boot camp and run Paint Shop Pro. However I doubt any of the old plugins will work on the 64 bit. What if I install 32 bit WIndows 7? Will old plugins work?
I need help, this is frustrating to no end.

It seems to me that many of the 3rd party plugins are older and I suppose they are 32 bit.
Easiest way to tell is to check your filters list. If you know the filters are installed correctly (in Photoshop's Plug-ins folder) and they don't show up in the list while running PS, they're 32 bit, or possibly even 16 bit depending on how old they are.
So I cannot use either PS program successfully. Is there no fix even for PS4?
I presume you mean PS CS4 and not literally version 4? Adobe officially supports CS6 and CS5.5 in Mountain Lion. CS4 is Intel native as a Universal app, but I haven't tried it in ML, so don't know how well it works.
Regarding reinstalling Mtn Lion, I could try that but the problem only occurs in Photoshop so do you think that could be the cause?
Hard to say. As an example, I tried installing the CS5, CS5.5 and CS6 Master Collections in Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion. I did this in all combinations, erasing the test drive each time so there were no leftovers from other installs. Each install had all updates installed. In each case, desktop icons were broken such that not all files saved from PS would produce an icon. Two other much larger problems is that saving files would at times either give the error that I didn't have permission to save a file, or it would say .afpdeleted could not be save. In either case, the file being saved would be deleted! You had to do a Save As again immediately before closing the image in PS to save it.
The point of this is that reinstalling the OS after installing the Adobe software fixed all of these issues every single time. So while it may seem illogical, reinstalling the OS might fix the problem.

Selling a 2009 Mac with FCP and Mountain Lion?

I am selling my 2009 iMac and I would like to reset it to the factory settings, BUT I would like to also keep Final Cut Studio and Mountain Lion on it. Is this possible? If not, is there a work-around?

As for the OS (Mountain Lion), no you cannot. Unfortunately, the license is not transferable for any OS purchased at the app store. You will need to erase and reinstall the original OS; if you leave ML on it, the buyer will never be able to reinstall as the purchase/license is tied to your Apple ID forever. You also need to give the buyer the original install disks. I'd tell the buyer that I've discounted the price by $20 so he can buy ML with his own Apple ID since it wouldn't work with my ID.
If you purchased Final Cut on retail disks, then yes, you are allowed to sell or transfer those as long as you do not retain a copy, and you must give the disks to the buyer. It won't do him any good without the disks in case there needs to be a reinstall. If you purchased it at the app store, the same license applies: any app purchased at the app store is not transferable and will not work reliably as Apple's servers would be able to detect its presence on another machine with a different ID.
There is no workaround - this is what is required legally; if you wish to do something else, no one here is going to suggest anything as we would be violating the ToU of these forums.

Connectivity issue with LeapPad and Mountain Lion

Has anyone else had issue with connecting a Leappad game console with Mountain lion? I keep getting an error message asking me to switch off and then on again to solve the problem, but it doesn't solve the problem..... I have tried manually giving the Leapster an ip address but whatever i try just fails.. HELP.???

I have the same issue and have contacted tech support.
This is the response I have from them:
Hi,
Thank you for your email,
Unfortunately there is some issues currently with MAC OSX Mountain Lion and the Leappad Explorer drivers. We have been in contact with apple regarding this solution and have developed a fix for the issue. This will be implemented in Apple's next OSX update which should be soon.
If you have any other questions please let us know,
Regards

Mouse problems with Illustrator CS6 and Mountain Lion

The mouse in Illustrator selects and deselects as it moves over buttons and cells:
1. In Graph data the cells the mouse passes over go dark grey if not already selected, then deselect if they are selected. This makes it very difficult to use the data cells.
2. In Layers window, where I may have 100s of layers, I want to hide one layer or more which are not necessarily adjacent to each other. Illustrator hides all of the layers it passes. It is very difficult to click and unclick the show/hide button (and also the lock button). Ditto with show or unlock toggle layer. I had to start up in Lion in which Illustrator does not have this problem in order to get a job finished in time.
Seems there needs to be a fix for Illustrator to work properly in Mountain Lion.
Has anyone found such a fix?

No I don't have Right-Zoom (don't know what it is), but I have the same problem with Apple's Track Pad, which I don't use much and I only use the inbuilt software.
I use Kensington Slim Blade and before that LogiTech's marble mouse and both need their software to work properly.
All of them work fine in Lion and earlier. Could it be that Adobe has overlooked some new aspect that’s in Mountain Lion which, in my case, needs to be fixed for Illustrator?

Why is it that Adobe CS2 software will not work with Mac OS Mountain Lion? What do I do?

Why is it that I must pay more money to upgrade my Adobe software so that it will work with Apple Mac OS Mountain Lion. Is it that Adobe wants to wring every cent out of me in order for me to use there products? Or should I just delete the Adobe software from my system and forget about Adobe and find something else?

Waynjer61 please see the system requirements for Creative Suite 2 listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1195856.
The largest issue which is preventing you from utilizing Creative Suite 2 on your current computer is the switch which was made from PowerPC processors to Intel processors. This coupled with Apple dropping Rosetta support, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(software), which previously allowed Intel processors to utilize applications coded for PowerPC processors is the main cause of Creative Suite 2 no longer functioning under newer operating systems.

Non NVidia graphics card issues with Adobe and Mountain Lion

It took me a while to figure it out, but now I am certain. If using a Mac with a non nvidia graphics card there will be issues in Mountain Lion while using Adobe products. I tested this with Illustrator CS6 for over a year on 5 different Mac computers.
Here is what happens
As soon as I open Illustrator on a Mac without a NVidia graphics card and I attend to apply an shadow effect, Illustrator crashes. If I do this procedure on a Mac with a NVidia inside, all works well.
I tested this on the following Macs
MacBook Pro (Early 2009) with NVidia 9600M GT - it works
MacBook Pro (Early 2011) with Radeon 6750M - doesn't work
Mac Pro (Early 2009) with Radeo HD 5770 - doesn't work
The same Mac Pro (Early 2009) with NVidia GT120 - it works
MacBook Air (Mid 2012) with Intel HD 4000 - doesn't work
iMac (Late 2012) with NVidia 680MX - it works
Since I owned all these Macs, I could test it several times with different kind of software updates. 10.8, 10.8.1, 10.8.2 and 10.8.3 did deliver the same result. Everytime the same result.
Already got in touch with Adobe
With Illustrator CS5 it worked like a charme, so I assumed it could be an Adobe issue. But Adobe support told me, it's Apple's fault since 10.8 uses different processes for the graphics performance.
What can be done, to resolve this issue? I cannot buy only Macs with NVidia inside, since the small portable front of Macs is only coming with Intel graphics cards. And is there anybody out there, having this issue? I cannot be the only one, using shadows in Illustrator.

A typical response. IMO it's most likely a combination of Adobe's reluctance to fix the issue combined with Apple's desire for advancement and change. I've personally experienced several things that've become broken owing to Apple changing fundamental aspects of the OS, and the developers of the third-party software in question have either never fixed their software, or are taking their sweet time. WireTap Studio and Snapz Pro from Ambrosia are a case in point, though they eventually fixed Snapz Pro. Eventually…
Frankly, good luck getting either side to do anything about this. Your best bet is probably getting in touch with AppleCare and seeing if you can get this escalated to Engineering, but I wouldn't hold your breath for a fix from either party. Or perhaps one of the Apple mailing lists will prove useful.

PROBLEMS WITH JAMVOX AND MOUNTAIN LION ?

I USE THE JAMVOX GUITAR INTERFACE WITH MY MACBOOK PRO. EVERYTHING WAS WORKING HUNKY DORY AFTER UPGRADING TO MOUNTAIN LION...BUT THEN, AFTER ABOUT THREE WEEKS, IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. EVERY TIME I TRY TO START THE PROGRAM NOW, GET THE SPINNING MAC "WAIT" BALL. IM SEEING ON VOX'S WEBSITE THAT OTHERS ARE ALSO HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. HAS ANYONE FIGURED OUT A WORK AROUND ? MANY THANKS FOR THE HELP.

I am truly disappointed in the new operating system, is there anyway to switch back to OSX Lion and perhaps get my money back?
Why do you think that is the normal performance for Mountain Lion?
First thing to try is boot into Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key on restart.
It will take a little while to boot as it runs some disk checks. Once it is done, it will show the login screen. Log in and try it out. If everything seems normal, you likely have some third-party software that is incompatible with ML.
If it is still messed up, boot into the Recovery HD (cmd-r on restart) and Repair the disk using Disk Utility.
Restart and see if there are still problems.
If so, I would reinstall ML and see if that fixes the issues.

Video "Dropouts" with FCS and Mountain Lion

I would like to see if anyone else is having this problem and maybe save some folks from the experience.
I have two macs.
#1- Imac, 2.93, core 2 duo, 4g ram, 24".
#2-Macbook Pro, 17", 2.53, 4g
4t g-raids
Clean Install done on Imac of Mountain Lion. Reloaded fcs.
Did NOT touch macbook. Still running Snow Leopard.
Working on large video job...1080 60i, avchd, panny cam.
Went to transfer footage using all usual settings.
Video on imac looked like "old school" video drop outs. As you can imagine, it was a long night to figure this out.
Erased footage and hooked up my g-raids to the Macbook. Looked fine.
Took hard drives back to imac, tried transfer again. Stuttering and drop outs continued.
Back to Macbook with Snow Leopard, no problems. My guy is editing job right now on Macbook.
I am in the middle of a clean install of Snow Leopard on the imac. I'm gonna have to send the "boys" out to get my $20 bucks back from Apple.
Thought I'd post it in case someone sees same thing and thinks they are crazy.
Mountain lion could not capture footage without drops. Snow Leopard (my trusty os) did it all.
Shocked I say, Apple....Shocked. (Not really, been down this road before) Never believe what they say. Don't upgrade unless forced by gunpoint.

This is the FCP X forum - you should ask this question in the Final Cut Studio forum:

Audio USB crackles on MBP with Retina and Mountain Lion

I have a USB device connected to my MacBook Pro with Retina Display and the audio crackles no matter what I play. I hardly have any processing working and there are no other USB devices. I think that this was working under Lion but I think this is a problem under Mountain Lion. Anyone else have this problem? I am trying to determine whether the problem is in the MBP or the OS... Thanks :-)

Could be it needs to be connected to both USB port by using a Y USB cable to supply enough power to it. And it won't show up unless there is a CD or DVD disc in it.

Problems with pages and mountain lion

Hey i just updated my iwork, and installed mountain lion, solely for the iwork icloud feature. I do a lot of work on my ipad and it would be very useful if they would sync with my macbook. But unfortunately when i create a new document in pages for the icloud it just says the files name and has a picture of a cloud underneath with "waiting" next to it. Why is this??

Messages won't work with iMessage after Mountain Lion install

I previously had Messages Beta installed on both my Macbook and iMac and they worked great. Now I upgraded to Mountain Lion and Messages works fine on my iMac, but not on my Macbook. It defaults to Bonjour and when I enter the Apple ID info I get a message "Your Apple ID "[email protected]" can't be used to set up iMessage at this time.", and it says to contact customer support. What is causing this and does anyone know how to fix it?

HI,
I must admit to not having two computers to try this on.
The one I do have is an iMac and updated from Lion to Mountain Lion with Messages Beta still active in the Lion build and I did not have any problems.
I can see that the iMessages servers could be getting confused as you are trying to use the same Apple ID on the MacBook as is in use on the iMac.
Try going to the preferences in Messages on the iMac and Disabling the iMessage Account whilst you set up the nmame in a MacBook

My magic mouse does not work with OS X Mountain Lion?

My magic mouse does not work the direction of vertical displacement with the update OS X Mountain Lion?

You are correct that you cannot install version 5.x of the AirPort Utility on OS X Mountain Lion. However, once installed it will run just fine. One workaround is to extract the utility directly from the disk image (.dmg) file.
Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist:
If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
Run Pacifist.
Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.
