MP Navigator X and macOS Mojave

My father has a canon scanner Lide 110 that uses MP Navigator X.

That software does not longer work with macOS Mojave, it wont even start. That sucks.

Does anyone know of a good scanning software that works with Lide 110?

Preferably software that detects multiple photos and saves them individually as jpegs.

thanks.

Here's something you can try..

 

Keep your MP Navigator 3.1 installed (for now)

 

Install the MP Navigator 4 from the link canon asia link above

 

go to Applications/Canon Utilities

 

Right click on MP Navigator 4 and select "Show Package Contents"

Navigate to Contents > Plugins > Database

You will see a bunch of .plist files -- these correspond to the scanners that the asia 4.0 version of the app supports

 

Right click on MP Navigator 3.1 and select "Show Package Contents"

Navigate to Contents > Plugins > Database

You will see a bunch of .plist files -- these correspond to the scanners that the us 3.1 version of the app supports

 

Copy the files from the 3.1 database folder to the 4.0 database folder

 

Now when you start MP Naviagor 4 it will launch correctly and find your scanner.

 

I have not analyzed the contents of these plist files so I'm not 100% sure if this will work, but the contents of the files in the 3.1 version look pretty similar to the ones provided in the 4.0 version.

I am having a similar issue. I have a MacBook Pro running macOS Mojave 10.14, and I cannot get the latest version of MP Navigator EX 5.0 to work. What is the solution? Is there another version of MP Navigator EX coming that will be compatible with Mojave 10.14? I am trying to use MP Navigator to scan from my Pixma MX870.

From the Mac system report / applications -- MP Navigator EX 2.1.5 that I have -- which was updated in 2017 -- is still a 32bit applicaiton. 
32 bit apps will work in ver 10.13 - High sierra -- the OS will run both 32 bit and 64 bit apps.  So does the older versions upto 10.8 or 10.9.

 

From MacOs Mojave -- Only full 64-bit applications will work ---

so only wat to get the these MP Navigator apps to ccontinue to work is to avoid upgrading to Mojave -- or roll back and INSTALL an older version of the macOs.

 

It is not possible to return to a previous operating system for me. Why have you not upgraded the Navigator app to 64-bit? It has only been out for 6 months! My next printer will be from a company that updates its software. With this debacle, it is not possible for me to scan from my MG8220 to my Mac. What is it with you people???

Did you ever find software that works with Mojave?

I purchased Vuescan which appears to work well with Mojave. With Canon, it is always a day late and a dollar short.

I was wrong in my earlier posting.  According to Apple support site -- I read that MacOs Mojave will be their LAST VERSION of OS which will support 32 bit apps.

Hence, theorectically MP Navigator X 2.5.1 should work in Mojave also.  I am not sure of earlier versions of MP navigator.

Its a shame that while 32bit and 64bit versions are available for Windows, the same is not for MacOs despite the larger user base.

I am currently using High Sierra and version 2.5.1 works well. But am scared to upgrade to Mojave and have my LIDE 700F unusable after that upgrade !!

Here is how I scan using the Mac with my MX870: 1) In System Preferences, click on "Printers and Scanners". 2) In the pop-up, on the left-hand side of the window, click on the -scanner-, not printer, below the "Scanners" title, and click on "Open Scanner" 3) A rudimentary window will pop up, not as nice as the Canon tools usually are, but it is serviceable and it will return scans to your desktop as before. It is disappointing to not have the excellent Canon tools that worked before. Perhaps macOS will get shiny new utilities soon.

No pop up on left side of window using MG8220.
