Windows 8 can't see my scanner (MX892). How can I fix this?

I just got an MX892 and the CD wouldn't install (said the printer driver was in use).  I worked on this for awhile and gave up and installed the primter driver from the Canon website.  Now I can print and I can scan with the Canon utility.  But, Windows 8 Fax and Scan can't see the scanner.  It used to see my old MX882 just fine (and that software loaded just fine).
Any help on how to resolve this is appreciated.  Steve

Hi sgluning,
Glad to hear you were able to install the drivers.  The Windows Fax and Scan program will connect you to the very basic functions of your scanner.  The more advanced features (like edge detection, scanning from ADF, etc) are available when using the Canon scanning software.  I recommend using the software (IJ Scan Utility or MP Navigator EX) for your photo scans since it will give you much more robust options including scanning multiple photos in a single pass.
We have a great guide with more information on scanning using the MP Navigator EX program available on our Knowledge Base:  Scan using MP Navigator EX - MX892 (WIndows).

    You could try my script ConvertFormat and see if you like the results. Would be easier than inserting the CDs and correcting the tag info again. Just be aware this is a one-way trip. Once you've thrown away some quality to shrink the files you can't get it back without going back to the source. You may better off investing in a bigger drive.
    If you just want to squeeze more on the iPod you can use the built-in iTunes option to convert files to a lower bitrate as they are added to the device.

  • PSE_13 Editor does not recognize Windows 7 but the Organizer does?  How do I fix this?

    PSE_13 Editor does not recognize Windows 7 but the Organizer does?  How do I fix this?

    Try making separate desktop icons for the Editor and Organizer. You can then launch directly. The standard desktop icon is for the welcome screen which often runs in the background or doesn’t shut down properly.
    Start by right-clicking on the desktop and select:
    New >> Shortcut
    Then browse to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
    Inside the Photoshop Elements 13 folder make sure you select the application (not a shortcut) by scrolling down to the files beginning with the letter P and highlighting ‘PhotoshopElementsEditor’
    Then click next followed by finish.
    You can repeat for the Organizer using the different file path.
    New >> Shortcut
    Then browse to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 13 Organizer
    Highlight ‘PhotoshopElementsOrganizer’
    Then click next, followed by finish.
    Now that you have your separate desktop icons you can delete the one for the welcome screen, if preferred.

  • After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?

    If you change your email, you do not need to "change" your AppleID. Just edit your email(s) on your Apple ID by logging in to your AppleID account. You should always use the same AppleID for  Apple Services (iCloud, iTunes etc) and multiple ID will cause problems and confusion in the future.

    Hi there Br0x,

  • My ipod touch 64G doesnt do allow me to do anything in music app. But I can use all other apps.  How do I fix this?? Plse help me:(

    My ipod touch 64G doesnt allow me to do anything in my music app. I cant even play music or select anything.  But I can use all other apps.  How do I fix this??? PLS Help me:(

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • When I publish a video, I lose half of the audio in "audio 2". I can hear it while editing. How do I fix this?

    I published a video as an mpeg, and when I listened to the final product it was missing some music I had in the "audio 2" slot. How do I fix this?

    Cameron
    Is the problem Audio Track 2 music from any of your royalty free music websites? Is the sound missing in the export
    standalone audio files
    or
    audio that is linked to video?
    What is directly under or above these files on the Timeline?
    Download and install the free codec utility named GSpot.
    And, tell us the readouts for Audio name, codec, and status.
    GSpot Codec Information Appliance
    If also video component of the file, then please include the Video name, codec, and status information from the GSpot readout.
    See what information you can put together on the properties of those royalty free audio files, including file extension. Are you dealing with Stereo or 5.1 channel (AAC or Dolby Digital)?
    As for project preset, versions 11 and 12 were designed so that the project takes charge of setting the project settings based on the properties of
    the first file drag to the Timeline. Sometimes it does it right. Sometimes not. If not, then you set the project preset manually using the properties of
    your file. See ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
    Lots of additional questions...curious how you hear the Audio 2 audio in Edit area but not in the exported file which you report as
    Publish+Share>Computer>MPEG under the preset "MPEG2 1920x1080i 30.
    Any export setting customization going on under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of that preset?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • My iMessage says that I can't login due to network connection issues, but my WiFi works great. Now I can't sign in to iMessage, how do i fix this?

    Whenever I try to sign in to my iMessage, it says check your network connection and try again. Well, my WiFi works fine and I am updated to the latest software update(iOS 7.1.1). How should I fix this to sign in?

    Try these suggestions in this order.
    Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I have photos on my iPad that I can only see in slideshow. How can I get rid of them?

    I can't update my iPad because these photos are taking up a lot of space. I think we're accidentally synced in through iTunes but I can't see them in my photos on the iPad or even when I look at my photos from my iPad on the computer. They can only be seen in slideshow

    Hello there, Caroline.Mitchell.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps for removing photos from your device:
    iTunes: Syncing photos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    Depending where the photos in question are located, the following steps should prove valuable:
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.
    To delete Camera Roll photos and videos from your device
    There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:
    Import the Camera Roll to your computer and choose to delete items after import.
    Delete photos and videos from your device manually:
    Open the Photos application and open the Camera Roll.
    Tap the Action button.
    Tap each photo to select it.
    Tap the Delete button.
    Note: For photos and videos you want to save, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • I can't see my seeting icon, how can i reset the icon in to phone screen

    i need help, now my phone screen can't see the icon setting, may i know how to reset the icon settings back on my phone screen.
    thanks

    You have to do it app wise, which means that the icon won't show up in settings, but you will be able to move files from your local drive to iCloud via the Numbers app (move... > choose the iCloud option).
    It requires that you set up the same iCloud account on all your devices and that you have the latest version of Numbers on all your devices as well.

  • TS3276 when I open my email on my iPad 2 I don't see any content. How may I fix this problem?

    When I open my email, I can't see the content of the messages. How may I fix it?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if the email bodies show when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes.  It just stops and can't go any further.  How do I fix this?

    I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes.  It just stops and will not go any further.  What can I do?  I am using a pc.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • When I try to add a photo to my iPhoto library from Safari I get a message that says Safari can't communicate with afar. How do I fix this so I can just add photos direct to iPhoto?

    When I try to add a photo from and email in Safari, I get a message that says could not add photo Safari cannot communicate with iPhoto.
    How can I get them to communicate? Or, more to the point, how can I get a photo from Safari (usually attached to an email) into iPhoto library?

    iPhoto is 7.1.5
    That's much too old. To solve the problem, you'll have to uninstall iLife completely, then upgrade to the current version of iPhoto in the App Store.
