Why can I only scan right after login?

I am using a Canon MX 850 printer/scanner and scanning only works right after I log out and back in again, after a while the scan dialog just shows a grey box.
Any idea what's causing this and what I can do about it?

I have been trying to figure this out for ages, ever since Mountain Lion I think.
The only thing I have noticed is, When I first login, these Canon processes are running:
  346   ??  S      0:00.35 /Library/Printers/Canon/IJScanner/Utilities/Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector2.app/Contents/MacOS/Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector2
  731   ??  S      0:01.11 /Users/jonathan/Library/Printers/Canon MX860 series.app/Contents/MacOS/PrinterProxy
  740   ??  S      0:00.77 /Library/Image Capture/Devices/Canon IJScanner1.app/Contents/MacOS/Canon IJScanner1 -psn_0_254014
Later when I come back (after my computer has been asleep for a while, or maybe just after some time), I come back and these are the running canon processes:
  346   ??  S      0:00.61 /Library/Printers/Canon/IJScanner/Utilities/Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector2.app/Contents/MacOS/Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector2
1061   ??  S      0:00.21 /Users/jonathan/Library/Printers/Canon MX860 series.app/Contents/MacOS/PrinterProxy
I am not sure what happened to the other one or even if it matters.
I am really frustrated but will keep poking around I think ... This is the first time I was able to search for this issue and see anybody else have it as well.
I do run "Little Snitch" and I wonder if anybody else is as well? But come to think of it, My wife has the very same problem and is not running little snitch. So ... yeah probably not the cause.

    Firefox allows to select part of a word. You can select a word with a double click and use Shift + left click to set the end of the selection, so you need to click at the end of the last word instead of in it.

    P.S. 2 more issues
    1. Firefox is the only browser that always give me trouble attaching files in gmail. I still use firefox for all browsing but for mail attachments, I use others. And yes, I have done the "Clear cookies, reset, reinstall, clear cache, etc etc etc... none worked for more than a few days. no such problem with other browsers.
    2. Your new updated search bar (Top right hand corner) is nice but can be very irritating for the following reason:
    I like to highlight - copy (a word or phrase) - and paste it in the search bar. was fine with the older version, but now as soon as I right click to past, the menu pops up for me to select a search engine. Very irritating since I have yet to paste the copied word or phrase. I rather paste it and then have the option to click on the drop down menu. If you see this as not something masses would want, please place an option in setting for us to stop the suggestion for search engines coming up automatically when we try to right click in the side search bar to paste.

    You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different tile to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.
    You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a tile on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
    Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.
    *browser.newtabpage.pinned stores websites that you have pinned to a tile.
    *browser.newtabpage.blocked stores websites that you have removed by clicking the X button in a tile.
    So you can reset those prefs via the right-click context menu to reset changes made to the about:newtab page.

  • Why can I only find Bob Seger tribute or cover bands?

    Why can I only find Bob Seger tribute or cover bands, and not even be able to locate any of his original music on movie sountracks??

    I would guess that it is because whomever owns the distribution rights to the music does not allow itunes to sell it.
    Itunes can only sell what the owners of the rights will allow them to sell.

  • Why can I only see iCloud Drive and not iCloud in Finder?

    Why can I only see iCloud Drive and not iCloud in Finder? The latter is not available either under Favourites or Menu>Go>...
    After a clean install of Yosemite 10.10.3 on a MacBook Pro, I chose not to upgrade from iCloud to iCloud Drive because it would break syncing with my iPhone 4. My docs are still visible in iCloud, according to System Preferences. I can access them on my iPad but I not from my MacBook Pro. Calendars and Contacts sync ok.
    I tried logging out of iCloud, rebooting and logging back in, but that did not remedy the problem.
    What's gone wrong?

    Just so I'm clear. You have enabled iCloud Drive in your iCloud preferences:
    Now, in your Finder's sidebar you still do not see the iCloud Drive showing. In the Finder's preferences is it checked:

  • When I share a link (URL) only Apple computers receive the link. Others such as PCs and Blackberries get the message, but the field which should have the link is blank. Is this normal?  Why can I only send to Apple machines?

    when I "share a link" (URL) using the pulldown menu in Safari, the email goes to all addresses I indicate, but only Apple computers receive the link. Others such as PCs and Blackberries get the message, but the field which should have the link is blank. Is this normal?  Why can I only send to Apple machines?

    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.

  • Why can I only order 1 EDGE device when browsing online?

    Several EDGE plan / share MORE plan questions from potential customer:
    1. Why can I only order 1 EDGE device online when browsing options?
    2. I have a large family, especially now that my mother is suddenly unable to live alone. How many total lines and how many EDGE phones are allowed on one plan?
    3. Since my mother already has a VZW iphone4, can I add her to the plan at $15 for her line if I buy 10G or more data?
    My family has a hodgepodge of plans, since VZW was too expensive compared to other options in the past and some of the older ones have had smart phones longer than others, etc. Ultimately I am trying to find out if I can add 5 EDGE devices, plus one already owned device at the $15 rate for that line, as long as I have 10+ GB of data (probably looking at 12 to be safe).
    Is this possible? And can I order online? It's really difficult to make it to a store during hours right now.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    Thank you both for your help. I have a few follow-up questions for the best path forward if I switch to Verizon for all of our lines--quite a few phones to order and numbers to port form various carriers (StraightTalk, T-mobile prepaid, ATT).
    -Can I order the first EDGE phone online, creating my account and porting my number, then wait two days (so that I have received and activated my new phone), then add the next line / EDGE phone / port number, and continue in that fashion?
    If not, can I go in person and order multiple phone lines / ports to the EDGE program on the share more everything plan at the same time?
    Or,
    Can I do a combination--go in person to add my first four lines, then add the others individually online? Is there a time requirement between changes?
    Thank you again.

    FormsCentral can be used from anywhere, but to purchase a subscription you need a credit card with the mailing address in one of the countries supported for purcahse:

    The partner can purchase if they have access to a card in one of those countries.  Alternatively they do not need to purchase a subscription to edit forms that you've created, they do in order to create multiple forms of their own, but by your sharing forms with them at the "Co-author" level they have access to the editing.  Here are the instructions to share a form:

    YouTube (Google) seems to have made changes to their servers and that prevents the extensions from working for now.<br />
    You will have to wait until the extension developer has released an update to fix this or check for a possible beta version.
