Kay I dont understand computers…… AT ALL. They hate me. lol
I had to switch computers and tried re-installing the scangear and the plug ins. Im positive I put everything in the right folders from what I read noted above in the forums… I even tried the Rosetta thing. But my photoshop still inst recognizing the scangear under the import part in the program.

HELP!

Thank you !

I didn’t have any problem using CS2, but then my hard disk crashed and I installed CS3 on the new drive – obviously the scanner didn’t work anymore…

But following your guide I’ve fixed it – wow, greart!

Works for me on my CanoScan Lide 80! ScanGear 7.2.x worked under Rosetta but like everyone else not in a stand alone Leopard driver within Photoshop. Thank you so much.

C’mon Canon we can’t all afford to rush out and buy a new scanner just because it’s good for your business!

I have followed all the instructions EXCEPT, in the Photoshop app’s info window, I am unable to check the “open using rosetta” box; I have permission, and access is unlocked. But not able check the rosetta box. Any ideas? Thanks!

Had another issue with an Epson 3590-just used Image Capture built into the Mac OS and it played nice. Would not work with Epson software. That may work on the Canon’s too.

David: I went the next step. I spent $59 and bought the Canyon LIDE 100. Sold the old scanner on eBay for $20 plus shipping. The new scanner works like a charm on Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 (that’s not a typo) with all my software.

Just bought a 13 inch MacBook Pro and installed a fresh new copy of CS4. My Canon Lide20 scanner is now worthless. Nothing seems to work. Photoshop can’t see it. After 2 hours of bullsh*t with the awful Canon “support” site, I discovered the miracle of VueScan. Solved all issues. One download and I’m back in business. Thank God for VueScan. Well worth the crummy $39 bucks. I wish I had bought VueScan first. It would have saved me two hours and A LOT of frustration. VueScan is awesome!

Lide30, Intel, and CS4 nightmare OVER

My solution was this: Install Canoscan and install the demo of VueScan. Launch the copy of VueScan and the scanner should function normally. Quit Vuescan and launch Canoscan-and it works.

I stumbled on this by installing the Vuescan demo just to confirm that my scanner was still functioning. I have installed this on 3o computers in a lab environment and it works on every one!
