Fujitsu ScanSnap Update For Mac OSX Snow Leopard Now Available

HI there,
I purchased a scan snap 5110EOX2 and have a MAC OS X 10.6. I am just staring to reseach and trial and error game. I have downloaded and installed many scansnap and patches:

ScanSnap_V22L11 (3).dmg
ScanSnap_V22L11.dmg
ScanSnap_V22L12_S510M_S500M_S300M.dmg
ScanSnap_V22L13-1.dmg
ScanSnap_V22L13.dmg
ScanSnap_V22L14.dmg
ScanSnap_V22L15.dmg
ScanSnap_V30L20W_S1500M (1).dmg
ScanSnap_V30L20W_S1500M (2).dmg
ScanSnap_V30L20W_S1500M.dmg
ScanSnap_V32L20W.dmg

I get the error: "Cannot run the update because the target ScanSnap Manager is not installed."

I have installed:
older managers for different scan snap models,
recommended manger,
updated mangers,
I have
moved incompatible scans nap folders & patched to trash and emptied trash,
rebooted
tired different usb ports
kept the scanner off and on during numerous downloads,
moved to application floder,
moved icon to toolbar(when I did it had a red circle and cross bar over icon)

I am new at this and basically trying out different solutions. Does anybody have any advice for me?

p.s. I don’t know why but I didn’t have to use Doug’s mad coding skilz to get the updates to install. hmmm. Well, I’m just glad it seems to have worked.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I’m a single mom on a budget and took a chance buying an open-box Fujistsu S1500M for Mac on ebay. The seller didn’t have a Mac so sold it “as is” since he couldn’t test it. Came with all the CDs and manuals and cords, but he didn’t know for sure if it worked. He had tons of positive feedback going back years so I decided to chance it. I paid $230 for a brand new Scansnap for my business. I very much needed this to grow my business and so hoped it would work. Got it and everything seemed ok them when I tried to Save the scan into a folder, the frick-fracking application quit every time. I just about cried at the thought I’d wasted $230 (even though I knew that was a steal IF it worked.)

I googled around and found THIS site and thread and installed the patches and VOILA! 🙂

I am so grateful, thanks a million times!!

OK so I just downloaded FR4SS.mpkg from the link I posed above, installed and configured, and at least the scan to searchable PDF and scan to word doc (.RTF) work just fine.

Thanks to all who posted their tips/suggestions!

By the way, I got the 10.6.x compatible installer from here:

On the same page (link below), there is a link to download FIneReader, which I'm doing right now.

I have a fi-5110EOX and using Doug Smith's instructions above to disable the "existing install" code causing the installer to quit managed to easily install into OSX 10.6.2 and standard scanning works just fine. Will try OCR, etc., later. Cheers Doug.

I managed the update ok and right afterwards I could scan fine, then subsequently the old flashing blue light came up on the machine when I pressed the "one touch" button on my 510m – no scan happening – same as before the Snow Leopard upgrade – any thoughts please

Doug you beauty. It was a bit of a faff having to change the installer like that but I couldn't get the installer to work on my Mac without your modifications – no matter where I put the old Scansnap folder or what I called it. Working 100% now thanks to you and chuffed to bits.

Thank you so much for these updates. I can now do everything except Scan to Print. This may be my printer's fault rather than ScanSnap's. I have the 5100M and am running 10.6. After the patch, I can scan to folder & email, but although the scan to print interface opens up, the printer never catches on. I have an HP 1012 laser jet and I did install new HP drivers for Snow Leopard, but it's still not quite working. Anyone else have this scan to print problem?

Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to run a scansnap scanner that is NOT an M model on a Mac?

I have the fi-5110EOX model dated 2004 which I have been using on my PC for 4 years or more. I have just seen the light and moved to an iMac but can't get the scan snap to work – even in a VMWare Windows Box.

Am I destined to just not be able to use this scanner or is there a magical solution?

Thank you very much for this post and the one previous about the Scan Manager & Snow Leopard. Took 5 min to solve my Scan Manager Crashing problem!

I love it when people share their experiences.
Thanks again,
Chais

I had the same problem with the install not working even though my previous version was installed in the Applications folder with the proper name, etc. I did some poking around in the install package and figured out how to fix it. Here's how:

1. Make a copy of the ScanSnap_V30L20 installer package. Put it somewhere you can modify it, like your desktop.

2. Control-click or right-click on the package, then select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu that appears. That will open a folder showing what is in the package.

3. Open the Contents folder and then the Resources folder.

4. There should be a file in there called InstallationCheck. Control-click that file and choose Open With from the menu, then select TextEdit.

5. When the file opens, scroll through it until you find a line that reads

exit($EXIT_VALUE);

Change that to

exit(0);

6. Save the file then try using the installer again. It should now bypass any pre-install checks and just work.
