Umax Astra 1200S scanner (SCSI) not being recognized in OS 9.2.2

I have a Umax Astra 1200S scanner connected to a Power Mac G4 which is no longer being recognized in OS 9.2.2. I keep getting a message -- "scanner not found."
The connection is a SCSI connection. I have reinstalled the drivers from the original scanner software CD (Vista) and checked the SCSI cables. The SCSI ID is set to the factory setting (5). I have a terminator in the second SCSI in the back of the scanner--there are no other devices in the SCSI chain. I have made sure that the scanner was on before starting up the computer in OS 9.2.2 (I mostly use OS X version 10.4.3--the scanner has never worked in "Classic"--when I have been able to access the scanner in the past it was by switching the start up disk to 9.2.2).
How would I check to make sure that the SCSI ID on the back of the scanner is not interefering in anyway --- or does that matter if I don't have any other devices connected to the G4?
I haven't used the scanner in a while and am not sure whether this problem was caused by installing Jaguar. It might have been.
Any suggestions as to how to connect?
Thanks!

Hi, Tumbril. If you have only one SCSI device connected to the computer, it can use any SCSI ID number from 1 through 6, so 5 should be fine. If there are two SCSI ports on the scanner and you have a terminator block on one, termination should also be OK. You say you've "checked the SCSI cables", but you don't say how, or why "cables" is plural — you should only need one cable for your setup. Are you quite certain that the cable you're using is good? Have you tried switching it with another SCSI cable? Had you changed your physical setup in any way that involved disconnecting and reconnecting the SCSI cable just before the problem began?

Scanner is not being recognized since I upgraded to OS X 10.9

My scanner on my Konica Minolta Magicolor 1690MF is not being recognized via image capture since I upgraded to OS X 10.9 - anyone have a fix for that? If I knew this was going to be the case I would never have upgraded!

Why is the scanner on my HP1CD560 HP Photosmart Prem C310 Series not being recognized?

Why is the scanner on my HP1CD560 HP Photosmart Prem C310 Series not being recognized in my computer ? I have the same printer/scanner/fax at work and I couldn't get it to scan either. They just keep saying No scanners were detected.
And it tells me on the scanner to do it from the computer!! Ugh!!!!! I need it done yesterday! This ePrint has been very disappointing. Print quality is terrible, it always has errors when I try to print, and I continuously have to go to my so-called wireless printer and hit the home button to wake it up! What good is having wireless if I have to go to it? I might as well plug in! Waste of money and can't afford to buy a different one But any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes now

i have a friend who has an ipod touch....everything had been going fine for him and then all of a sudden it was not being recognized any more....what caused this? he did say that he had done an update but i'm not sure what version he has....could this possibly be the problem.....does anyone an a fix for this?

I think Apple is having a problem at the moment, my Ipod touch was always fine syncing until the new update! (Even on older itunes version, I could'nt sync since new update came out) It just isnt recognizing the device...
Ive done all that Apple says to do, none of which helps at all, I reckon its thier own side of the problem they need to fix...

IPod touch not being recognized by iTunes on my MacBook, and on 2 other PCs

Hello,
After scouring the web and these discussion forums to no avail, I've decided to post my problem. I downloaded iTunes 8.0 yesterday, and updated the firmware on my iPod Touch to 1.1.5. I tried connecting my iPod, and nothing happened. It is not being recognized by my MacBook. So, I tried using another USB iPod connector, and nothing happened. I tried using a firewire connector, and nothing happened. Frustrated, I tried connecting to my one roommate's HP laptop and see if it would get recognized there - no. I then tried on my other roommate's laptop. The device was recognized to be USB, but iTunes wouldn't go ahead and try and reformat it. I'm starting to lose my mind! I've tried resetting the iPod touch itself loads of times to no success. I've tried restarting while having the iPod connected to the computer, and still nothing.
What should I do now?

Sorry about not getting to you on the quick-fast, but we aren't Apple employees.
What ended up being the solution you needed, as you said, you couldn't find any information already posted on this problem, so documenting your fix may help someone in the future.

My ipod nano 2nd generation (and working perfectly) is not being recognized by iTunes.
Any suggestions?

Does the iPod work OK?
Have you tied resetting the iPod? Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next would be to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes. If iTunes does not see the iPod then the iPod is not usable. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

My iPod is stuck on the Apple logo and won't do anything! It won't turn on, doesn't give me the option to power it off, and to top it all off, it's not being recognized by my computer OR by iTunes when I plug it into my computer.

So yeah...last night I was checking out my iPod (bored at the in-laws) and all of a sudden the screen went blank and the only thing I can get it to do is have the black screen w/ the white apple logo on it. It won't turn on, doesn't give the the option to power down, it won't charge, AND it's NOT being recognized when I plug it into my computer. Not by iTunes OR my computer. I've tried holding down the top button and the home button at the same time...nothing. And since it's not being recognized on my computer, I cannot restart it or go back to factory settings. Someone please help! I've had it for 18 months so the warranty is no longer valid and I don't know how to fix it. THANK YOU in advance!

- I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then see if iTunes will see the iPod. try both with the iPod not connected to the computer and with it connect. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next see if placing the the iPod in DFU mode will make it visible

I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

How do I unlock ipod when it is not being recognized by computer and itunes

How do I unlock ipod when it is not being recognized by computer and itunes?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Video Ipod 80G 5th generation not being recognized by computer or itunes.

My ipod is not being recognized by my computer or itunes at all. I bought a new cable and nothing happens as well. however when i connect it in my car it works fine. did any resolve this issue? I am not sure if its the new software that has the issue but i am almost certain it is.

Many people are reporting problems with connecting there fifth-gen iPods after the update to iTunes 9. I had the same problem, and when I downgraded to iTunes 8, everything worked again.
I tried cables, resetting, and all the other steps. My solution turned out to be iTunes 9 itself.
My problem came from using a replacement hard drive-an adapter that allows me to retrofit my iPod with a Compact Flash card instead of a hard drive.
The problem is NOT the adapter. This system functioned perfectly until iTunes 9, and when I switched back to iTunes 8, it worked again.
Summary: I have a modded iPod, and it consistently works with iTunes 8, but not iTunes 9.
Reason: Apple is sooooooooooo afraid a Palm Pre user will be able to use iTunes that they are breaking the sync code on purpose.
Downgrading iTunes:
1. find the download of iTunes 8 for your OS. (not posting links, as they may change)
2. go into your iTunes 9, and export EVERY playlist to a text file. This is the only way to preserve your playlists.
3. Uninstall iTunes 9 from you computer, install iTunes 8.
4. Configure iTunes 8 to use your music folder (especially if you moved your music to a different location other than the default)
5. Add your music to iTunes-this may take awhile.
6. Import you text files and your playlists will return.
7. Backup your iTunes 8 library files.
Happily enjoy your modded iPod. Mac Users: Don't accidentally install iTunes 9 from an Apple Update.
