X205 Win7 Pro Can't see fingerprint scanner

I'm using my X205 with one HDU on vista (ICK, but ok for now till I buy 64 bit win 7) and one on WIN7 Pro 32 bit. The vista side sees and uses the finger scanner o.k., but the WIN7 side (although the driver appears there) doesn't see the fingerprint scanner. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

Ask on the PS forum. Yes, it has in part to do with 32bit vs. 64bit, but just as much as your vendor's driver compatibility on a more generic level.

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).

Macbook Pro can't see iphone4 as hard disk

In Itunes everything is ok I can see iphone but Macbook pro can't see in list of devices. Help!

Not a problem, your computer won't see your iPhone as a hard disk, as such is not supported.

My macbook pro can't see or render an icon on a website that a graphic artist used to display an audio player. Her PC sees it fine.

Satellite Pro S300 and AES1610 fingerprint scanner

To whom it may concern,
I have a Toshiba Pro S300 laptop with AES1610 fingerprint scanner.
Everytime i boot windows and has been occuring for over a week now, it continually pops up wanting to install an update for AES1610, when you select ok to finish installing software it eventually opens up Truesuite Access software, and then wants to modify repair or remove.
Please can someone help me resolve this issue.
The fingerprint sensor and truesuite software is still fully operational as well.

Hi
I had this happen with Vista, it seems that Vista is trying to install newer drivers from the Windows Update site.
Warning: this might delete your finger prints and any saved passwords in the utility so if this happens you will need to add them back, make sure you know your windows password as well to get back in.
What I did from memory.
1) Go through the setup and click Finish.
2) Go to Start - Control Panel - Programs and Features
3) Find the TrueSuite Access Manager entry and uninstall that program
4) Reboot the machine.
Then...
1) Go to Start - Control Panel - Device Manager
2) Find the Personal identification devices entry and expand to see the AuthenTec Inc entry, right click it and go to Update Driver Software and use Search Automatically. This should find the newer version that Windows wants to install from the update site, follow the wizard and that hopefully will be the end of it.
I think what is happening is Windows update is trying to install a newer version but as the older version is still on the machine it's setup program is detecting the driver/program has changed and is then prompting to re-install the older version, so you get stuck in a loop.
Hope that helps.

Phil

Photoshop cs 6 can't see my scanner

Hello,
I just finished downloading a trial version of photoshop cs 6. But I can't use it for the purpose I donwloaded it for since it cannot "see" my scanner... So I can't scan and import pictures!
Is it a matter of 32 or 64 bytes ? And, if this is the problem, how do I know which photoshop I downloaded? Adobe is becoming more and more complicated to handle... and quite boring !
Please help.

Windows 7 Pro can't see Internet IP's after recovery from having WGA invalidate OEM license

My Win 7 Pro receives an IP, can ping local IPs, can see right up to the internal router IP but cannot see the internet. Yes the network functions for other PCs.
Important historical data:
Some weeks ago my spare admin pc was rebooting after the usual monthly WAU when it failed to complete the last stages of installation of the updates (this would have been June 2014 updates.) Instead of booting normally to Windows, the system ran a bunch
of registry change attempts and then booted to a black Windows desktop that contained the dreaded "You're a filthy pirate" message that Microsoft so gently slaps onto newly discovered Winhacks. The trouble is my Gigabyte/AMD powered barebones box
was purchased, by ME, from TigerDirect.ca WITH an OEM Windows 7 Pro bundle. Now I should point out that I have suspected the Seagate Barracuda that was included with this machine as being a little off as the machine would occasionally freeze up or reboot itself.
Instead of putting up with this HDD any longer, I ghosted the fractured build off of the Seagate and onto a new WD Caviar Black. On first boot the system seemed to work but the "pirate" message was still there. I then attempted to go through the
recovery wizard and fix my license issue. The wizard failed and advised that the installation was corrupt and that I should reinstall. I reinstalled (not scratch installed) Windows and was rewarded by a successful install minus the activation. I proceeded
to phone the MS automated attendant and successfully activated my installation. I have a functioning network card but can only see LAN stuff. What the deuce? Gigabyte GA-M68MT-S2 with AMD Phenom II X6 1045T.

You can try this:
From administrative account, go to start, type cmd, press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. Click Yes, if UACD prompots. Now, type the following command and restart the PC:
netsh winsock reset
After restart, check internet connectivity.

Mac Pro can't see wireless mini on network

We have a home network involving 3 computers. My Mac Pro (running 10.5.2) and my husband's Windoze machine are both hardwired into the router. In addition, I have a Mac mini (running 10.4.9) that connects wirelessly to the router.
I would like to be able to access the mini from my Pro. But in the "Shared" section of Finder on the Pro, the Windoze machine is the only one that comes up (and I have no interest in connecting to that!) How do I make it so the Pro can "see" the mini? I assume it is because of the wireless?
Even if I get the Pro to "see" the mini, I am still not sure that will do what I want. For now, I am just interested in having access to the files on the mini because occasionally I realize something I forgot to transfer to the Pro. It would nice not to have to take a USB drive to the living room every time that happens.
Thinking more long term (once I'm convinced I'm done getting everything off the mini), I would like to make the mini into music server where iTunes on the Pro would access its library it to play music while I'm working (as well as sync my iPod) AND have the stereo in the living room be able to access the entire library as well. Is that even possible and if so, would the mini be hardwired to the Pro and communicate wirelessly with the stereo or vice versa? I'm confused.
I love the Mac but I've always only ever had one at a time so the whole networking concept is a new area for me. If anyone has suggestions or links to good resources, I'd very much appreciate it!

Hey Graham,
Thanks so much for your reply. Very helpful. I did turn on PFS on the Mini and it does now show up in the Finder sidebar on the Pro. However, the only folder I can get to is "Drop Box" and when I dbl-click that, it says I do not have sufficient privileges to access (doesn't ask me for a password or anything though).
But even if I got the access to work, I don't really want to have to run out there and start PFS every time I need something. If I'm going to do that, I might as well take my jump drive out there and just get what I need and bring it back.
Until I am ready to make the Mini into a media center, I just want to have access to it from my Pro without having to leave my chair. I would be fine with moving the Mini into the office where the Pro is if I could ditch the monitor that is attached to the Mini. Is there is a way to hook it up to the Pro so that the Pro just sees it as a hard drive and I can copy freely from it? Would that be an option? I don't even really need to to be able to start up from it (although I suppose there could be a need for that, potentially).
Then once I'm sure I'm done with it, I could always move it back to the living room later when we are ready to do the media center thing. I really like your ideas/tips on that!

New Macbook Pro Can't See Other Macs

My Powerbook and iMac can see each other over the network and do file transfers, but my new Macbook Pro can't. The other computers show up in Bonjour Browser, but when I try to connect to them (either via their computer name, e.g. my-computer.local, or by ip) it can't. It tells me the address is wrong. It can't even ping them, and they can't ping it. It's weird because I can access both the internet and the router settings.

After I did that Airport stopped working. The menubar icon said "Airport not configured" and there were no network interfaces in System Preferences. So I tried just putting the airport prefs back, and restarting. The same thing happened, so I had to put the whole folder back where it was.

MacBook Pro can't see Airport network but three other macs in house can

Very strange. I can connect my three iMacs (G3, G5 PowerPC and G5 Intel) to my Airport Extreme Network, but my MacBook Pro can no longer see the Network, and Airport utility (from MacBook Pro) cannot see the Airport base station (although other macs' Airport Utility can no problem). My MacBook pro can see 4 other networks (my neighbours' networks). Doesn't seem to be a problem with my MacBook Pro airport card as I can connect to the (non-Mac) wireless network at work with no problem. Am really confused (not the first time)!
Installed the latest Airport Extreme firmware last week, which was the start of the problem, as I then lost the ability to connect to my Virgin Media Broadband digital TV box, necessitating Virgin engineer visiting at weekend to connect a cable modem to the cable tv box, to which the Airport Extreme station is now attached. Had problems connecting my MacBook Pro last night, but eventually managed it. All other macs connect seamlessly. Am stumped.

I'm troubleshooting a friend's MacBook (Model ID: MacBook4,1) that is having serious Airport problems. This machine's Airport can't see ANY available networks. Sitting right next to my MacBook (identical model), hers is blind while mine can see several open and locked networks including my own Airport base station. If I choose to "Join Other Network..." and enter the network name and password for my network, her machine almost immediately gives me a "Connection timed out" error. It doesn't matter where her MacBook is, it can't see any networks anywhere.
This is a new problem as her Airport was working fine for the first few months. I've just finished making sure all software updates have been applied so she's now running the latest-greatest, but still no Airport.
This sounds similar to the problems other folks here are describing so I figured I'd add my voice to the chorus. I guess I'll take her machine down to the local Apple store this afternoon and see if they have any ideas. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if her Airport card was fried.

MacBook Pro can't see and connect to WiFi but adjacent MacBook can

My wife and daughter both have MacBooks and can see a lot more local WiFi networks that I can on my MacBook Pro. In fact I'm using my wife's MacBook to post this topic since I can't get online with my MacBook Pro. I've compared the settings between the computers and can't see a difference. Could it be that the MacBook Pro has a "weaker" AirPort card in it or is there something I've done?
Thanks.

Yes and no.
The MacBook Pro's case is metal where the cases of the MacBooks are polycarbonate.
Since metal attenuates RF frequencies, MacBook Pros (and before then PowerBooks) have always had slightly worse AirPort performance than MacBooks (and before that iBooks.)
However the difference should not be so great as to prevent you from getting onto your local network unless it's a very weak signal to begin with.

MacBook Pro can't see MY wifi connection

Hi all, Ok this has been bugging me for some time now, I've had a Macbook for around a year now and have notice that with some wifi routers my macbook can't see them until I reboot the router I'm trying to find. This can be most annoying and is beginning to become a problem, my iphone and ipad can see the wifi router but my Macbook can't unless I reboot the router and then I mostly get a connection (although this is getting worse as i have to reboot the router more often) but if I leave the connection i.e turn off the MB or leave the house on returning I have to reboot the router to get connected again. I have made a few enquires in web search engines but haven't found anything of much help and the problem is still here. At first I thought it could be my router but this has happened on a few routers of friends that I have tried to connect to, although i can see lots of other connections so it shows that the MB can find routers but not all. Is anyone else having this problem or does anyone know a way to fix this?
Cheers

Hi guys,
I personally figured it out on why this problem occur, well let me just hit to the point.
What happens is that the router of the wifi channel is being changed automatically or someone might accidentally changed it. MBP can't detect wifi from certain wireless channel. So, we have to change the channel of the router wifi channel that may be detectable by your MBP.
THE SOLUTION -
1. Connect to the wifi from a active device to the router wifi that your MB can't detect or use Ethernet cable to get connected.
2.Once connected, access to the router wifi menu by entering the ip address on your net browser, eg:192.168.2.1
3.Then go to wifi setup or menu, and you may come across the wireless channel.
4.Switch the channel from any numeric to numeric that the router wifi can make your MB detect it.
eg: Wireless Channel - 6 (change it to -->) Wireless Channel - 11
5.Save the settings for the router wifi, exit, restart your MB and HAVE FUN!

Since I updated to Firefox 4.0 I no longer can use the fingerprint scanner to log into websites. I get a message saying the protocol dpql isn't associated with any program. It was working fine upgraded. What do I do now?

The scanner works fine with Explorer and worked fine with Firefox before the upgrade. I find it disconcerting that you upgrade something that then changes how I have to use my computer in ways that have nothing to do with Firefox. At least we should have been warned prior to the upgrade that this was going to happen.

Id this the HP SimplePass Identity manager or Digital Persona fingerprint reader? If it is, the company that make the fingerprint reader have abandoned it. For more details see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388
