My Mac desktop computer will not allow the Japanese version to install — it says “Cannot install on this computer”. Any suggestions?

Hi, the basic principles of this are right, I just want to add a few things. I noticed that beside the ScanSnap Manager, the three Scan2Office applications that are part of the package (Scan2Folder, Scan2Mail, Scan2Print) need to get the english localization folders as well.

For each application, view the package contents in the English distribution, copy the Enlish.plist folder under Resources, drop it in the same folder in the installed packages and remove the japanese language folders in the end.

Thanks for this. I just switched to a MacBook from a Dell, and I don’t want to buy a new scanner! Could you specify which verison of OS/X you have, though?

As some of the commenters on that link say, you’ll run into some problems if you use the latest English version, numbered V22L11 (I think). The menus don’t seem to match up to the feature set on the Japanese version, which appears to be more limited and can’t (for example) use multiple scanning profiles. Not all of the on-screen buttons work, etc.

I’m trying to muddle by in the Japanese version for now, since my partner is Japanese and can translate for me. It’s confusing, but at least it works perfectly. I’m grateful for that. If I learn anything more interesting, I’ll post again.
