Using a Scanner with Leopard

Hi all,
I used to use a Canon app to access my Scanner however after changing to Leopard I'm no longer able to do this, can anyone recommend an application that will allow me to use my Scanner?

I was so upset to read my trusty Canon N1220U Scanner was Not Supported? Jeeze! You mean I have to go spend another fortune on new Scanner? Well I just fired up trusty old VueScan I d/led from Versiontracker and Bless my stars and garters!! It works Great!! Way better than the old Cannon Software as you don't need Photoshop or anything, Its a stand alone program and Its actually pretty robust and automatic as well. I pressed a few buttons It automatically calibrated the unit with no intervention and then scanned my Holiday Letter so we can send out 70 copies No Problem! Good News Folks..
Happy Holidays to All

Can't I use my Scanner with the Elements 10 editor without the organizer??

I have been using Photoshop Elements for a looong time to help me create the product images I need for my online business. It's been a love-love relationship... until I took advantage of a special offer and bought Elements 10. Now it seems the only way I can scan images is thru the Organizer.... and the organizer is something I don't need.
Is there a way to scan my images thru the Editor only... and completely bypass the organizer (as I'm able to do with my older version of Elements)? Like a twain plugin I can install or something?
I may scan 10 images and decide to use only 3 of them... and those are the only ones I save.
With the way PSE10 is set up using the Organizer to scan, it's saving all 10 of them. Not to mention the extra steps of scanning thru the Organizer... (which means that pop-up window for my scanner every time), back over to the editor to pull the images in for editing, back to my files to delete the ones the organizer saved that I don't want... etc etc etc.
It's like 5-6 extra steps altogether and a huge time-sink for me (you know the old saying... time is money).
If there's no way to bypass the Organizer for scanning.... can I get a refund on my purchase? My older version of Elements works beautifully for me... I was just hoping for more sophisticated image editing capabilities.
VERY frustrated right now.

Thank you very much for your explanation which I fully understand. Since a "fix", as you say, is not a solution might it not be a good idea to alert purchasers of the latest editions of Elements that they have an option to try this alteration to the installation in order to be able to import images from a scanner? (My own experience with versions prior to 9 always worked perfectly!) I do not know but does Photoshop CS5 allow the user to import images from a scanner or does the user have to use a similar solution to what applies to Photoshop Elements? I find Elements to be a very good app and am sure it is a good selling product for Adobe for amateur/semi-pro users that the alternative that I suggest may be a useful tool for existing or new users who want or need the capability to import from a scanner rather than having to go through other more difficulty and time consuming ways of doing the same task. Kindest regards and with my best intentions.

It's not a "fix", exactly. The TWAIN plug-in causes a lot of crashing in PSE so in the past couple of versions adobe makes you install it if you want it.

Can I use InDesign CS with Leopard?

Is anyone successfully using InDesign CS with Leopard?

Hi Tim
I came across the very useful blog recently:
http://blogs.adobe.com/indesignchannel/2007/11/indesignleopard_updateiii.html
by Tim Cole which may help to explain the problem you (like me!) are having. If you can't be bothered to read it all then the gist is that this is an Apple problem which they know about and are trying to fix (no date for release as yet). It relates specifically to IDCS3 and Leopard, in particular the linking of files that is unique to ID as opposed to the other Adobe programs (other CS3 programs are unaffected I think). For me the only workable solution has been to trash the ID preferences file which can be a nuisance (as you have reset prefs afterwards) but it has enabled me to continue using IDCS3. The problem appears to affect those using PowerPC more than Intel machines. For those having problems with CS and CS2 you should be aware that Adobe have no plans to make these versions compatible with Leopard; not now, not ever! Check the Adobe site for a list of compatible software (yes, IDCS3 is listed but as mentioned this is not an Adobe problem). Why Apple have not made an announcement about this is quite beyond me.
Hope this is useful.

Using Server Admin with Leopard 10.5 (not the server version)

I have recently downloaded the Server Admin and would like to use the xgrid function. I am running Leopard 10.5 (not the server version). Is it possible to set up a server functions to use just xgrid with Server Admin and the Leopard 10.5 non server version system software. I want to set up a really small computer cluster between my macbook and imac. My problem is that I cannot seem to get a server started so I can select which functions I want to turn on (such as the xgrid). Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I tried several options from the link you suggested, by the xgrid lite seems to be for 10.4 Tiger. I have not been able to make it work for Leopard. Any suggestions?

Using MYST Successfully with Leopard 10.5.2)

Greetings.
I am considering buying Myst for the first time, but have read of the many difficulties using Myst with Leopard 10.5.2 (or with any version of Leopard, for that matter).
Is it possible to have success using Myst with Leopard? If so, would any of you be so kind as to share with me the details? I haven't a clue where to start.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I've tried several times, and I can't get it to work...
I also tried installing the updates and it still doesn't work...
This is one reason why I have a problem with mac when it updates its OS...
Prior to upgrading from Tiger to Leopard, Myst IV worked fine.
Now, It doesn't work at all. Mac should invest more in new technologies while keeping backwards compatibility...
I wouldn't buy it if I were you...

Problems connectig using WPA Enterprise with Leopard

I updated my software yesterday, but today i could not log on to the network at my university. There were no problems with the Windows XP pcs I tested. It wonder if it might have something to do with the password reseting itself - when I enter the network preferences screen the password section is blank even if I ask Leopard to remember it.
It seems to accept my password and shows signal strength varying from between two points and full strength, but is listed as disconnected by network diagnostics.
If any of you have experienced similar problems any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you are using WPA Enterprise to connect, it's likely that you did so using 802.1X under Mac OS X 10.4 before installing Leopard. This mechanism has changed in Mac OS X 10.5 and it is clearly not performing as expected, and causing serious problems for enterprise and higher education users.
Insert the string <802.1X> in the Search Box in the upper right corner, and you'll see a number of posts about this issue by academic computing staff personnel, who are working cooperatively to identify the issues involved, and find workarounds until the matter can be addressed by Apple.
I suggest also that you contact an AppleCare representative at (800) APL CARE and initiate a case. Be prepared for very long wait on hold times, possibly 45 minutes or more. They are flooded with requests, but it's important that additional pressure be placed on them to escalate these reported cases for resolution.

Odd Issue when using Firewire drive with Leopard-Locks up Dock, etc.

I have an odd issue that has developed on my MBP using OS X 10.5.1 Leopard. It only appears to occur when I plug in my External Firewire Lacie Rugged Hard Drive. I only use that Hard Drive approximately once a week when doing a complete mirror backup of my MBP's Hard Drive using SuperDuper. As far as I can tell the issue occurs only once the Hard Drive is plugged in, not because of SuperDuper or the Backup.
Here is the issue: For some reason within a minute of plugging in my hard drive my Dock doesn't work. It scrolls when I put the mouse pointer down to the Dock but it won't open up any icons I click on. It's just like it doesn't recognize the left mouse button. Also, I am unable to select any menus at the top of the screen. I can left click on them and even right click on an icon such as Macintosh HD on the desktop and there is no response. I am able to drag Windows across my desktop though but it seems overall that my keyboard becomes inactive. For example in a open Numbers spreadsheet I am able to use the left mouse button (so it works then) to select a textbox and get the blinking cursor but yet if I type and use even the delete key there is no response. Even after I'm done with the Hard Drive if I drag the Lacie to the trash to eject it won't eject. The only way to eject it is simply pull the Firewire cable out.
I had a few issues with my system earlier and found out I had some bad memory. The memory was replaced and the problems went away. I am worried I had some corrupted files from that time but what puzzles me is I have used my laptop for weeks with no problems. It is only while I plug in this hard drive. In a worse case if I can't figure out how to fix it I feel I'll have to do a complete format and reinstall Leopard and I don't want to have to do that. This only occurs when I do the backup but can be a pain. Any ideas if I can fix this?

Erase and reformat the ext HD. Then, redo the SuperDuper! backup.

Problems Using IK multimedia with Leopard

Hey guys,
I wonder if anyone here has tried the new IK Multimedia ARC software. if so what do you think of it?
I have had a problem with it on my MBP (10.5.1) where after going through all the measurements and reaching the final step I can choose a picture for the preset but can not type the name of the preset, thus can not move on and save a preset to be later used within logic.
This problem does not occurr on my Powerbook (10.5.1) as well, but all is fine the powerbook.
any ideas? suggestions? solutions?
thank you
David

What is up with using Adobe stuff with Leopard 10.5.2?

All of my new Adobe DS Premium stuff is crashing upon launch suddenly and I'm told that there is a bug on Apple's side with compatibility here. Nobody's "home" at Adobe right now; I have tons of work to get done. I purchased their Design Suite Premium package and up until a week or so ago, everything worked just fine. Today an update came along - I installed it per the instructions, and I am still not only finding it impossible to launch the program but the dialog box pops up from Apple every time offering to send a message to Apple re the problem (and again, on the Adobe site, there is some noise there about this being something Apple is working on). Does ANYbody have any insight into this and/or at LEAST a workaround???? I've already run that CS 3 clean thing of Adobe's several times and run DU. Everything else on my system works fine.

What update did you install?
I see there are about 7 updates available since the last time I updated.
adobe reader 8 language support, adobe air update for flash, adobe bridge 2.1.1 update, start meeting 1.0.1, flash lite update, adobe asset services and adobe version cue3.1.0.
I don't have version cue installed anyway.
I turned off auto updating just for the reason you opened this discussion.
I have found doing any updates with any unnecessary programs or processes running
is a big risk because of locked and in use files not getting updated properly.
This may be what has happened in your case.
I update all software in safe mode if possible. If that isn't practical for some reason, I
shut down all unnecessary programs and processes before updating and do a disk check.
It only takes one corrupt file to shut you down or cripple an application or applications.

Using PowerPC G4 with Leopard Server.

Hi All,
I have a PowerMac (QuickSilver) G4 collecting dust and would like to put it to good use.
I would like to have "host" a web server and run FTP's and being able to access it from anywhere there's browser....
Now, I understand I could just install Leopard on my G4 and use the built-in webserver and install mySQL on it. But I wonder whether installing Mac OSX Server (albeit Leopard Server being a powerpc) would have any benefits for me.
Cheers
G

Hi
As long as the proposed hardware meets Leopard Server's minimum requirements you should be OK to install it:
• An Intel processor or PowerPC G5 or G4 (867 MHz or faster) processor
• At least 1GB of RAM. I would go for 2GB as a Minimum or as much as you can install
• At least 20GB of disk space available
• An active connection to a secure Ethernet network
Be aware if you've installed a 3rd-Party Processor Upgrade you'll have to consult the manufacturer's website if OSX Leopard Server is supported.
How well it performs after that will depend largely on the choices you make post install phase. Regardless of what choice you make and to make this absolutely clear, as well as emphasising this as much as I can, you will need a correctly working and configured DNS Service. Without it and regardless of whatever else you want from this Server nothing will work well if at all.
If you really must have FTP I would consider securing it otherwise consider finding some other means of remote access. A VPN would be a wise choice.
HTH?

Can I use a scanner with iPad Numbers?

I can pair a bar code scanner (Socket Mobile brand) with an iPad 1 , but I can't scan in anything into Numbers.
A coworker was able to do it, but he is no longer here to ask.
Looking for advice.

Well, that didn't work. I can't scan into a text document on the iPad either. But the Socket Mobile app recogizes and tests the scanner just fine. One thing I noticed is that the keyboard on screen doens't go away when the scanner is connected, if that's a sign of anything.

Cannot print using Canon W6400 with Leopard - help????

There is an archived discussion with this exact problem, however it doesn't seem to have been resolved. I'm hoping someone can help with the issue now....
I recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro running Leopard. I cannot get my W6400 to print with it, despite re-installing, checking cables, etc. It worked fine a few weeks ago with my old laptop, so I'm assuming it's Leopard. The error message that comes up says 'Operation Could not be completed. client-error-not-possible'. I cannot find this message in any manuals, or on the Canon website. I've logged the question in with Canon, but it could take up to 3 days to get a response.
Any ideas anyone? Many thanks.

After about 7 hours on the phone with Canon, Apple, friends, etc. I rang the man I bought the printer from. He said 'no problem' and within 20 mins, he emailed me the link below - this is after Canon told me there was no updated driver as the printer was so old! Lunatics! Anyway, if anyone needs a great company for large format printers, etc ring Design Supply.

SCSI Scanner on PowerMac G5 with Leopard

Hi all,
I have an old high-end SCSI scanner (AgfaScan XY-15) that I would like to use with my PowerMac G5 and OSX 10.5.8. In the past, I used a G4 MDD that could dual-boot OS 9 and OS X 10.3. The G4 had an Adapted card (29160 IIRC), the G5 an Atto (UL5D).
To have the scanner work with OS X 10.3, I had to replace IOSCSIArchitectureModelFamily.kext and IOSCSIParallelFamily.kext (in /System/Library/Extensions) by their OS X 10.2 versions (something Agfa recommended for their mid-range scanner, on a page that can now only be found in archives : http://web.archive.org/web/20050306100359/http://www.agfa.com/digicam_scanner_dr ivers/faq/#faq22a)
On Leopard, I can see the scanner in the ATTO configuration tool, but the scanner sofware always outputs a "scanner not found" error. This scanner cannot be used with VueScan, so the solution suggested on Using SCSI Scanner with 10.5 possible? is not applicable.
I have tried changing parameters (for instance disabling LUNs for ID 4 - the scanner - as shown below, which results in the scanner only appearing once in the list of devices), but I cannot seem to find the good combination of parameters.
Does someone with experience in SCSI scanners have some tips?
Thanks in advance for the help!

The last device on the chain must have termination turned on. If it is, then I don't know what to say other than to try some of the other scanner drivers on my subscription site*:

Cannot use scanner with WLan with Advent AW10 printer

I have a Satellite L500D-11R using Windows Vista.
I have purchased an Advent AW10 printer with wi-fi functionality.
I am able to print documents and photos with no problem, however I cannot use the scanner with wi-fi.
After several lengthy talks with Advent support, not very useful, I was asked if I had Twain_32 on my laptop.
I have searched my machine and there is no trace of Twain.
I need to download a current version of Twain_32 and have been told to get this from the supplier of my laptop.
The web, I have learnt, is not the safest way to download Twain_32 due to security issues.
I have looked for a Toshiba and Microsoft download with no luck.
Can anyone help?

Hi mate
I think this is not a Toshiba issue but this question should be addressed to the manufacturer support of printer.
However, our community tries to help everyone as good as possible
I searched a little bit and found this youtube video how to repair TWAIN_32.DLL error
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6nLWR9TLgY
Otherwise you will need a support from printer manufacturer

Anyone got one to work with Leopard yet?

Posted this Rant at the end of another Topic, slightly OT so reposting here (with some additions):
I wish I could report that iTunes 7.6 broke my apple tv, because that would mean it had been working up until very recently. Sadly however, it hasn't been used since i put leopard on my media server (mac mini).
I bough one of the first batch of 40Gb ones before there were 160Gb ones, and have had to remove and re-add it to iTunes (streaming) every time i used it until leopard. now it will sometimes put in a fleeting appearance when removing a disk or plugging in an iPod.
Once it was even there long enough to tell it to sync one film. Since leopard my work around has been to remove and add it again but with syncing not streaming then sync the one film or tv show that is required. unfortunately this has only worked once.
What have I Tried To fix this i hear you cry well...
Under Tiger:
complete os rebuild, disabling firewall, rebuilding mac subnet from ground up playing sequentially with advanced router properties (yes i do know what i am doing, I'm a paid IT Technician) calling in a friend with networking and IT communications degree to help, calling in father with 20 years corporate network design experience.
End result? nothing changed in the way my network was setup, as nothing was wrong with the way i had it set up to begin with (that said the initial setup of the router justifies a whole f*ing essay). during this time all mac's at all times had current software. i took all software updates hoping for a fix. in the mean time using the workaround described above.
Under Leopard:
Are you Joking? even less functionality. after reading up and discovering you CAN'T DISABLE the leopard firewall yet, devised new work around (as above) worked once, gave up. too much to deal with with wifi connections under leopard dropping out continuously.
Result: useless piece of kit with truly wonderful and sleek looking software interface.
I think a large part of the problem is my laughable router which seems to flake out requiring a cold restart multiple times a day. (airport extreme 'n' 1st generation).
Both are just under a year old. I'll wait for 10.5.2 + Apple TV update + update to airport extreme base station (hopefully when time caplsule comes out).
If this doesn't resolve all my issues I'll just return ATV + AEBS, call it a day with apple networking and get a netgear n router, and one of those network HDD's with video playing capability and a tv output and hook both things up by my tv. no video conversion to itunes required. wireless n access to my media. half the cost, job done.
Don't get me wrong, mac's are still amazing but these two devices have shattered my faith in apple products, unless it's a mac or an iPod, I'll steer clear in future.
I would go back to Tiger but it is too much hassle now. They'll fix the WIFI and the firewall in 10.5.2 at which point there'll be nothing to stop me using my machines with leopard. updates for pro software continue to be released and nearly all of my applications worked with a clean install anyway.
Back to the topic, has anyone else got an ATV with leopard that does nothing at all? i want to be able to say to them that the product they sold me is not fit for purpose and return it under that premise.
Also if anyone has a fix (non voodoo please) I'd gladly eat my hat and just start using the bloody thing, albeit 10 months after purchase.

You say you tried switching off the firewall i tried that too and your quite right it seems that it will not work with the firewall off. as turning it off does not turn it off.
sos10: "I did make sure however iTunes wasn't on the list in the Firewall settings."
The list your talking about (if you're talking about the leopard firewall) is the list of programs WITH access. so if you have it set to: "set access for specific services and applications"; iTunes would have to be in that list with "allow all incoming connections".
The only other setting is essential services only which doesn't work. As this doesn't include the port we need to get a connection.
out of the three the one that works the most is the: "set access for specific services and applications"
iTunes - "allow all incoming connections"
This i when i get the odd reminder vis the devices list that i have a useless £200 electrical device heating up my front room.
Maybe this wouldn't be such a problem if you could actually open a port in a firewall (shock horror). I know they'd have to hide the option away somewhere so as not to mess up the simplicity of the interface!
