MP Navigator EX will not open

[WolverineSam]

Hi.  Sorry to open this long dormant thread.  I too cannot open MP Navigator EX.  I have a Mac running OSX 10.13.2.  I opened the Canon Solutions Menu.  But when I click on "Scan/import photos or documents" MP Navigator will not open.  I downloaded the two drivers on Canon USA's website, namely 14.11.5a and ICA driver 4.1.4a, and installed them, but Navigator still will not open.  HELP!!!  Thanks!

Thanks!  I have a CanoScan 5600F hooked to directly to my iMac via USB.  The only message I get when Navigator tries to open and quits is "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly".  I have used the scanner many many times over the past 3 or 4 years.  It only started acting this wayyesterday.  I did upgrade to Apple's High Sierra OS a week or two ago.  It's version 10.13.2.  As I said, I downloaded the recommended drivers from Canonusa.com.  That didn't solve the problem though.  Thanks for your help!!

Hi Jason, I"m using mac os sierra, 10.13.4 (17E199)

Deleted navigator (as I read somewhere I think on the canon website and tried to download some drivers and things but haven't got anywhere. I'm getting this message now:

Cannot start the MP Navigator EX. Check the following points.

Thanks for the information. The CanoScan LiDE 100 is an older model that supports Mac OS X up through Yosemite v10.10. Drivers are not available for later versions of Mac OS X.

We hope this helps!

We would encourage you to consider upgrading to a more modern scanner.  Our current photo scanner offerings include the CanoScan LiDE 120 and LiDE 220, each of which supports macOS v10.13.  Click HERE to see our lineup!
