Trying to install drivers for my scanner, not working
I'm trying to install drivers for a canon scanner, it's not working. I ownloaded them from the canon website and they are for Mac OS 9, would they still work? or do i really have to get a new scanner?
Hi Anna
Which model of scanner is it? Have you checked thoroughly to see whether OS X drivers exist?

I recently up dated my OS to 10.7.3 and I get a "can't open application because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Can this be restored? If not do you know if Epson has drivers for my scanner that work around this?
You cannot run PPC software in Lion. Go to Epson's website to see if they have an updated scanner driver. If they don't then you can try using VueScan if it supports your scanner model.

Windows trying to install drivers for iPod...
So here's my problem. Whenever I try to connect my girlfriend's iPod, Windows XP trys to recognize a new device and the driver installation wizard pops up.
I get a popup on the taskbar and Windows tries to install a driver for the iPod. If I cancel the installation it tells me the installation failed and there may be a problem with the device. The same thing happens if I allow the installation to continue as Windows in unable to find the correct driver.
The iPod shows up in Device Manager with an exclamation point. It does not appear in Windows Explorer or iTunes.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I have tried the 5R's to no effect. I have tried everything I can find in the support articles relating to iPods not being recognized in Windows or iTunes.I get a popup on the taskbar and Windows tries to install a driver for the iPod. If I cancel the installation it tells me the installation failed and there may be a problem with the device. The same thing happens if I allow the installation to continue as Windows in unable to find the correct driver.
ipods use the standard Windows USB mass storage drivers. it is possible for those to go walkabout on a PC ... if that's what is happening here, the techniques from the following MarkJones post may be of some assistance:

Trying to install drivers for Lexmark X4650
I've downloaded the RPM based drivers for this printer from Lexmark and am now trying to get it working with CUPS.
I created a PKGBUILD based on one of the other LEXmark driver examples. makepkg completes successfully and gives me a package but, after installing, this package doesn't seem to make any difference to CUPS... In particular I'm hoping to see it listed in the printers available when setting up a printer.
My PKGBUILD is as follows:
# Contributor: Paul Hunnisett <[email protected]>

Isight drivers for WIndows 7 - not working?
Hi,
Have a new IMac and am trying to get Isight working in a Parallels Windows 7 VM environment.
Isight works fine in Mac OS (Skye, Oovoo, etc).
Tried to install the drivers from the Mac OS disk (appleisightinstaller.exe) and they appear to be installed okay.
BUT, while the device exists, I cant see any picture or when I click on settings get no settings to change. Additionally, the Isight led on the device never comes on.
Anyone got any ideas as to what I should do.
I have tried:
1. De-installing the driver and reinstalling
2. Have edited the registry in Windows to delete all references
The reason I would like to get this working is I am trying to use Polycom PVX video conferencing software (I need it for work) and so my idea was to run it in a Parallels VM as its only available for Windows.
Hope you can help
Cheers

I don't use Windows®, but here are a couple things to consider if you have not already done so and do not get better help here.

Can no longer install drivers and touch screen not working anymore
I have the HP 520-1130ea all in one PC. Its a touchscreen. I have Windows 7 home premiun 64 bit operating system.
it has been working fine for the last two years and on Friday 11th april, i connected my android tablet (samsung Galaxy tab 7.0) to my pc and it could not install the drivers so my PC could not see the tablet. Last week this worked ok. I attach my tablet to my pc using a USB cable and transfer files by usb transfer. I dont use any software at all.
I have tried to reinstall the drivers for the android tablet and i get the error code that the drivers were found but they cant be installed. Access denied.
I have also tried to restore my pc to the last time everything worked ok which was just a week before the problem started, but the restore has failed on 4 occassions.
I have now deleted all updates on my PC from last week and i think I have deleted something or failed to allow something to isntall (a box popped up when i restarted the computer after the update delete which I ignored)
No my touch screen no longer works.
I plugged in an external hard drive to back up my computer and I also could not install the drivers for that too. this just happened today.
My printer is connected to my PC and that still works ok.
I have been battling with this for 4 days now and ploughed the internet for solutions and no hope in sight!
I have also tried:
1. installing optional updates. no luck there. also some of the updates failed
2. giving myself full control on the system 32 folder in windows.
I am the administrator on the PC.
HELP PLS!!!Hi compnewbie,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
Thank you very much for your thorough post and detailed steps! I see that you are not being able to install drivers, and I would be happy to assist you!
The first suggestion I will make is to boot your computer in Safe Mode. To do this, please follow this document on Windows 7 Safe Mode. No extra software will be loaded, which will make this driver issue easier to troubleshoot. In Safe Mode, try to connect your external drive.
If you still cannot connect your external drive (or any other USB device), I recommend following this resource on Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7). This should help diagnose any potential hardware problems with the computer.
If you are not able to detect any hardware problems on your computer, please follow this document on Restore files from a backup.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I will diligently follow up with you!
Best regards
MechPilot

Hi i buy G62 but the drivers for gaming is not working properly is there a way that i can download
My gaming driver is not working properly Im using a ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 4200 how can i download a new driver suit to my computer and where its nposeble to download it thanks in advance.
Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
(Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.) -
Trying to install photoshop2 for message indicating not enough space on Mac HD
The cd does not install when I have plenty go space
What version of OS X is your iMac running.
If your OS X version is OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion, Paintshop 2 will NOT be able to be installed because this version is an older version that ran on older PowerPC Macs. The code that was needed to run this on newer Intel Macs was part of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard only. This was PowerPC code emulator called Rosetta.
This software no longer exists under OS X 10.7 or 10.8, so there is no way to install and run this software.
You would need to upgrade this software to run under newer versions of OS X or find new alternatives that run under your current OS X version.
Alternatives are

I have an HP mini 210-214 dxpc want to install drivers for hp officejet G85 printer
Help I'm at wits end I need driver (s) for hp officejet G85 all in one printer installed in my hp mini 210-214 dxpc with an upgraded windows 7 ultimate os in it.i've done everything i can find on hp website, the wizard finds the printer but no driver, windows can't find the driver, hp says its in my os already as a __os driver i cant find it or get this going been doing this for10 hrs now please somebody make it simple for me to install the necessary driver or whatever it is i need to do to get this printer operating from my laptop. oh this is through a usb connection if you need to know that.
thank you for helpingHi @GoddessDiamond,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are trying to install drivers for your HP Officejet G85 printer on Windows 7. I am happy to help!
Please take a look through this installation guide, Installing the Printer Driver Using the Windows 7 Built-in Solution for a USB Cable Connection.
Otherwise, if that does not work, you can try to download the Windows XP driver, HP Officejet Basic Software and Driver, and run it using compatibility mode. Make older programs run in this version of Windows.
If neither of those two options work, then the last step is to try an alternative driver, please see this post, How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows, by @Shane_R.
Hope this information resolves your issue, and have a good day!
