Scansnap For Mac Sierra
Katie Floyd:
Good news, earlier this month Fujitsu issued a fix and an online update for the current model scanners, the iX500, iX100, SV600, S1300i, S1100i. This week, the patch came for older models including the S1500, S1500M, S1300, S1100. You can find more details on Fujitsu’s website. According to Fujitsu, update should allow you to safely use the above scanner models with macOS Sierra.

Unfortunately this fix does not appear to address older PDF content that was modified by macOS Sierra resulting in data loss.
Jan 02, 2020 I am trying to obtain 64-bit software for a ScanSnap ix500. 'ScanSnap Home' is supposed to be the 64-bit replacement program for older 32-bit software, but the Fujitsu download page does not show the program (or any other downloads compatible with Mac OS Catalina). Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i personal scanner for both PC and Mac. This mobile scanner is Fujitsu's smallest ScanSnap document scanner providing multi-page double-sided scanning performance at the touch of a button. This USB or AC powered scanner is the perfect companion for business trips and more!
Also, unfortunately, as Ashley Bischoff notes, there is no information listed for the ScanSnap S500M (which I have) or the S510M. Fujitsu’s FAQ says:
ScanSnap S500M does not support macOS Sierra. There are no plans for adding support in the future since the support for ScanSnap S500M has already ended.
My Passport Ultra for Mac is formatted for Time Machine and ready to deliver plug-and-play storage out of the box. With WD Discovery™ software, you can also work across both Mac and PC. We provide a downloadable HFS+ driver for Windows® 10, 8.1 or 7 to enable you to read and write to your My Passport Ultra for Mac drive without reformatting. Oct 10, 2018 I read in the WD community Forum to update the WD Security application to the latest version. I have done this but I am still unable to connect/unlock my drive. When I open WD Security and connect the drive, it says there are no volumes. Dec 07, 2018 I have a WD My Home connected to my system and I couldn't see the volume through the entire Mojave beta trials and even after the official release. For some reason when I logged in this morning my WD volume is there to be used; I'm guessing that WD FINALLY pushed an update. Some WD hardware requires WD drivers. Wd my passport for mac mojave. WD My Passport Ultra not being recognized in Mac OS Mojave 10.14.3. WD External Drives. WD Portable Drives. Mhoal February 23, 2019, 4:43pm #1. When I connect the drive to my computer The light on the drive comes on and the drive is vibrating however it is not recognized by the computer. The finder preferences show external drives to be shown.
It looks like the scanner has been officially unsupported since Mac OS X 10.8, although I’ve been successfully using version 2.2.12 of the software for years. I also successfully installed version 3.2.80 in a Mac OS X 10.11 VMware to use while waiting for Sierra compatibility. This version is listed as supporting the newer S1500M, but it seemed to work fine with my S500M.
ScanSnap Manager 3.2.90 does not seem to be available as a standalone download, but I was able to install 2.3.80 and then install the update. Even though my scanner is not officially supported, it seems to be working with Sierra (albeit more slowly).
Previously: macOS 10.12 Sierra Notes, Automatic Download of macOS Sierra.
Update (2016-10-26): Some PDFs that the ScanSnap created display as all black in Preview, however they look fine in Quick Look and PDFpen. As I have also seen this with PDFs downloaded from other sources, this may be a Sierra bug rather than a ScanSnap bug.
Brooks Duncan notes that macOS 10.12.1 includes ScanSnap fixes.

How much slower is it — what operations in particular are slower? I'll soon be upgrading my stepmom's mid 2011 Mac mini, still on 10.9, to whatever iMac gets introduced next, and she's got a S500M. It's currently using ScanSnap Manager 2.2.15, which is dated 2011. The scanner is as fast as could be expected, OCR speed is sloooow but between Hazel, EagleFiler and some software I wrote for her (https://github.com/nriley/ScanningStatus) it's a really nice document management system I'm concerned will break horribly.
I'm still using 10.10 on my desktop because Apple broke AirPlay audio behavior in 10.11, and 10.11 on my laptop because Apple broke PDFKit in 10.12 and I use EagleFiler a lot. I've never since first using a Mac lagged this far behind, and it's happening as my time to spend dealing with these kind of breakages is shrinking.
Also: finally fixed my name; sorry for the typo and thanks for fixing it repeatedly for me!
@Nicholas The time to first page scanned (even if it was already on) is much slower. It seems to take 10 seconds or so before it starts feeding in the page, whereas before it was almost instant. Oddly, the actual scanning seems to be a little faster than before.
FWIW, I just installed 3.2.90 (finally) on a new iMac with 10.12.2 and it seems just as fast as the old version on the 2011 Mac mini it was replacing. Many PDF bugs in EagleFiler, but of course these aren't your fault…

Actually, all the bugs in Sierra are indeed Michael's fault. It's hard to explain in a single comment, but it's true.

My S500M is working fine in Mojave 10.14.3 with 3.2.63 software. Was thinking about trying version 6, but not sure it's gonna work. I think it's working because I've been updating systems and haven't clean installed for quite a long stretch.
