Where's the Twain Scanning Driver?

In my older version of Adobe Photoshop 8 it lets you choose between the WIA and Twain drivers when scanning, but Elements is only letting me choose WIA. I hate WIA because of it's limitations. With the Twain driver I have a lot more scanning options. How do I get to use the Twain scanning drivers in Adobe Elements 10? Thanks for your help and time!

The TWAIN filter is in this directory:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Optional Plug-Ins\Import-Export\Twain_32.8BA"
Copy it into this directory:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\en_US\Plug-Ins\Import-Export"

Where is the default hard drive location for an ipod backup?

Where is the default location on a Window hard drive for iPod backups?
Thanks!

Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data is stored depends on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.

Where is the TWAIN plug-in for Photoshop Elements 13?

I just upgraded from PE 12 to PE 13. Windows 8.1 system.
I did not see an option to import an image using Editor so I looked in the Organizer and found one. BUT, it only has WIA support for my HP scanner. And that means limited options when scanning. With PE12, I had to copy a file from an Optional Plug-ins folder to the Plug-ins folder. I cannot find an Optional Plug-ins Folder in either Editor or Organizer. Has support for TWAIN disappeared with PE13? I do a lot of scanning of my own artwork and the additional options with TWAIN are very useful.
Thanks for any info.

If you have a 64 bit version of windows, there is no more TWAIN in PSE 13, only in the 32-bit version and the mac version.

Where is the WiFi scanner in Yosemite?

Where has the WiFi scan option in Wireless diagnostics gone in Yosemite?
The Wireless Diagnostics says my Wifi is OK but my airplay is doing a Norman Collier. What I would previously do on 10.9 is use WiFI Scan to check on the local Wireless networks to see which neighbours ones were close on channel number and signal strength and then check my wireless router channel as it always seems to default to ch 6, not always the best channel. A shift in channel would fix the issue, and WiFi Scan saved loads of time.
I know Apple love to play hide and seek with their most useful utilities and it looks as if it's gone all MS and hidden the items and started making decisions for you. In 10.8 it was obvious in 10.9 it was moved to a menu key in 10.10 I can see anything.
Can someone direct me as the tool saved lots of time!
thanks in advance

Installing the Intel ME Driver

When I load the MSI Control Center it displays a pop-up telling me to install the Intel ME driver for overclocking.
3 QUESTIONS:
   1. Where is the Intel ME driver?
   2. If I get it as a download from Intel, how do I know which ME to download?
   3 If the ME driver is on the MSI Drivers and Utilities Disk, then which file is it and how do I install it?
I know this is basic, but I'm just a simple man.
P.S.
OCZ has been having problems with their firmware software for the Agility 3. I got rid of mucho problems by removing the OCZ Agility 3 SSD and replacing it with a Crucial RealSSD 300.
Not as fast, but it does not give me BSODs either.

if you talk about the Intel Management Engine , they are on your driver DVD or on the MSI web site

Elements 10 not showing a scanned image until the twain driver is closed.

When I open up Elements 10 and scan into the Elements 10 Organizer from the Epson Scan Twain driver (V3.04a) the image will not transfer in unless I close Epson Scan. At that time the transfer is completed and I can see the scanned photo in the Organizer screen. I have this problem on both Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit computers. I have reloaded the Epson Scan Setup twice (loads Epson twain driver). If I don't close the Epson twain screen the image won't display in Organizer at all. Any thoughts as to why this problem requires closing Epson Scan to view the image?

I think you're running into a problem with the way Adobe has implemented scanning in the Organizer. In your specific case, PSE is obviously not handling the return codes from the scanner correctly. If Organizer was able to use WIA (as the Editor does) you'd have another option for scanning.
See this discussion/argument that I'm having with an Adobe representative:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/pse_organizer_need_option_to_use_wia _and_disable_twain
The Adobe rep is insisting that Organizer doesn't use TWAIN, but I'm not buying it.

I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It quits when the Twain portion of the program starts loading. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer will work with Photoshop??

I recently bought an Epson Artisan 837 printer. I installed the driver and now Photoshop from CS3 will not open. It closes every time it gets to the point where it is loading the Twain portion. Does anyone know how to fix this so my printer and Photoshop will work together? Thanks for any help I can get!

You're welcome.
But, no, don't look to Epson for fixes to their driver in newer versions, and Adobe has deprecated the TWAIN plug-in. Hoping for a solution there is futile. That has not happened and it's never going to happen. The consensus is that it's pretty foolish to tie up Photoshop to scan. Honestly.
Any improvement in the behavior of newer versions of the Epson drivers in that regard would be pure coincidence.
You need to understand that you never, ever scan "within" Photoshop, as Photoshop has no scanning capabilities whatsoever. When you use the Import > Twain plug-in all you are doing is blocking Photoshop while you call up the stand-alone Epson scanning software. If you think about it, its most inefficient.
VueScan has a pretty powerful scanning plug-in that can be called from the Impost menu—if you insist. VueScan is not free, but it's a pretty good value, IMO.
As for the Epson CD printing software, I have no clue. Sorry.

Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?

Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?
I had a very difficult time getting my new HP Officejet Pro 8620 functioning as well as it does now. I just tried scanning something as editable text for the first time and it ended up being scanned as a pdf. At one point in my various tries there was a note on the printer screen that I did not have the HP OCR software installed.
This may be because the resolution to my installation problems with the HP Officejet Pro 8620 seems to have been reverting to operating with the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package instead of the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg installation package.
I do not, therefore, have the HP Scan application on my computer now which is where HP says its OCR software can be found.
So what I'm afraid of is that I'm now running well with the HP-Apple driver but if I do go back and install the HP Officejet Pro v12.32.0 driver software with the HP installer, in order to access the OCR softwware in HP Scan application, I'll mess up everything else.
Is there any chance that the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package I have installed also includes OCR software? If so where can I find instructions for activating it and using it with the HP 8620's scanner?
Or can I only get OCR capability with the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package?
Any experience with this? Should I leave well enough alone? Or can I somehow install the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package without messing up my current functionality?
Thanks
Steve

The printer driver that is installed automatically from Apple doesn't scan. The scanner part can be accessed through Image Capture, but I don't think that does any OCR on the scan. You'd need a separate program. As you noted, many of the bundled software programs have OCR built-in (albeit limited). From my experience, that is only activated when you scan to "searchable" PDF or something similar. You would then have to extract the text from the PDF.
I don't have an HP printer/scanner, so take this all with a grain of salt.
If you can just install the Scanner utilities, that shouldn't affect the printer portion.
Your other option would be to purchase separate OCR software. Unless you need to scan lots of documents into text, you should further investigate installing the HP scan utilities.

I need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro. the driver installation disk doesn't work. where can i get a driver that will work? i use OS X

i need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro. the driver installation disk doesn't work. where can i get a driver that will work?

With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
System Preferences / Print & Scan
Click on the + button on the left column
Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
Type the IP address or look it up
Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
Click Add.
Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config.

Where's the old driver? I don't want e-print!!

Need to re-install my printer driver, as my laptop had to be rebuilt.
BUT I can only now find the e-print driver for HP Photosmart 5510 - where is the usual driver??
The e-print isn't working very well for printing, and also can't seem to use it to scan documents -
I'm a bit annoyed!! Have had to download the e-print, struggling with it not working and even working out how to contact hp has been very difficult involving me logging into this forum...??
Where is the usual driver is the only thing I want to know. Simple really.
Paula

Hi Paula,
Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I am afraid that there is no "old driver". Once a new driver is released, the old software is removed. While you may not be the only one to bemoan the fact, it is still the case.
ePrint is separate from the Full Feature Software. You do not have to use ePrint at all -- in fact, one has to register the printer with HP Connected to connect the printer to the Internet; it is a separate and deliberate act and not one associated with the everyday use of the printer.
You did not mention your Operating System -- therein might lie the issue; are you using an unsupported Operating System? For example, are you using Mac Yosemite?
Several recent Windows and Mac Operating Systems do provide the Full Feature Software for this printer:
HP Photosmart 5510 e-All-in-One Printer - B111a Drivers
For recent versions of Windows the following may be helpful.
General Instructions to Install the Printer Software
Reminder:
In most cases, the Solution Center has been replaced by the Printer Assistant.
The Printer Assistant shortcut will be installed on your Desktop during the last part of the installation.
Windows Operating System:
Create Restore Point: Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR Create a restore point Win8
Open HP Drivers & Downloads
Enter your Printer Model information
Select your Printer from the “Results” list
OR
Open HP Photosmart 5510 e-All-in-One Printer - B111a Drivers
Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu
Click NEXT and Scroll down
Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
Select the Basic Driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software
Save the *.exe installation package(s) on your computer
The file(s) will likely save to the "Downloads “folder.
Be sure to look for Updates as needed for your installation. If available, you may download the Print and Scan Doctor and / or other programs from Category – Utilities.
If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select run as Administrator and install.
NOTES:
Look at the bottom half of the main webpage for your printer for helpful videos to assist with the installation of the printer software!
Scroll the video list back and forth until you find the video that most closely matches your situation.
If using a USB connection: Download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
Ethernet: Connect the printer to the network and (Optional) assign the printer an IP address at the router. Once the printer is connected to the network, be sure the printer is switched on and then install the printer software.
After the initial installation is complete and working, check / install Category - Update

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

A "HP Twain Scan" function in the "Print and Scan Doctor" app - Solution?

Frustration!! Why can't I get the scanning portion of subject printer to work on my laptop Windows 7 (64-bit)!?? I've tried the Print and Scan Doctor several times, and the same dysfunction says "HP Twain Scan" whatever that means or is? I've pulled out the cords, all of 'em, and it still not helping. Did I purchase a printer that is not compatible with my laptop? As far as the scanning portion is concerned, or what? I can print OK, both from website/emails and my own documents. I do a lot of scanning (photos mostly), and so this will be a sad problem.Hoping someone out there in techland can give me a solution. Thanks!

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that you cannot scan with your HP Envy 7645 on Windows 7. I am happy to look into this scanning issue for you! Some questions for you: Are you able to make copies with the printer? Copying Documents or Photos with an HP ENVY 5640, 5660, 7640 e-All-in-One, HP Officejet 5740 and 8040 e-All-in-One Printer Series.How is the printer connected? Wireless, Ethernet, or USB? In the meantime, please try the steps within this scanning guide, A 'No Computer Found', 'Connection Required', or 'Scan Unsuccessful' Message Displays for HP ENVY 5640, 5660, 7640 and Officejet 5740, 8040 e-All-in-One Printer Series, and let me know what happens! Hope to hear from you soon! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

Hi, how do I back up my iPhoto library to Lightroom, so its also on an external hard drive, where is the Back up utility?

Hi, somehow I imported all of my iPhoto library into Lightroom, which is saved to an external hard drive, but now I cannot remember how I did that...and I am looking to update the additional photos i've put into iPhoto to Lightroom...
Thanks for any advice...Eric

As a mich more powerful app I think you'll find that Lightroom is also quite capable of "uploading, screening, and deleting unwanted photos."
The point about using both is that you have an overly complex workflow - and that leads to situations like the one you have now, where you can't recall the workflow you used.
Put another way, it's like wrting your novel part on Word and part in TextEdit. Which bit goes where? The best advice is to pick one horse and ride it.
Do don't "import photos to the Finder" you export them from iPhoto to the Finder. File -> Export....
On your Mac you have Time Machine as a back up application. There are also many, many others. Search on
MacUpdate

I can't scan with my HP Photosmart Plus B210a, I get a "Failed to open a session on the device" message everytime I attempt to scan to the computer. I'm using the most current driver off the HP website for Mac OSX Lion 10.7

I can't scan to my computer with my HP Photosmart Plus B2010a, I get a "Failed to open a session on the device" message everytime. I'm using the most current driver for OS X Lion 10.7 off the HP website.

I get the same "Failed to open a session on the device" message with Apple Image Capture as I do with the HP Utility software.

Where's the Twain Scanning Driver?
