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). ScanSnap Software Downloads page. IMPORTANT NOTICE. It has recently come to our attention that certain websites are using “Fujitsu” and “ScanSnap” names without our permission, apparently stating that they are providing product information and software downloads. Important note: since the ScanSnap is built for documents, delicate photos should only be put through a scanner using a carrier sheet. The easiest way to scan photos is to create a special profile. Start by going to your ScanSnap icon, two finger or control click to bring up the menu and go to Settings. ScanSnap Manager for Mac Update (V3.2L91) Important If you are using macOS High Sierra v10.13, please refer to incompatibility information. Target Scanner Models. ScanSnap S1500 / S1500M / S1300i / S1300 / S1100. Four licenses per scanner are available for iX1500 and one license per scanner is available for iX500/iX100/S1300i/S1100i/SV600 as a standard. ScanSnap Manager and ScanSnap Cloud can be installed and used on multiple computers.
[I actually was trying to respond to an earlier thread from 2018 but the system is asking me to start a new one]
The earlier post suggested using software for the ScanSnap s1500 for Sierra compatibility. That machine is no longer supported. The best solution is to use the ScanSnap Manager software for the newer ix500. I have both this scanner (at work) and an older s510 (home). The ix500 software works great for both and is seamless when I bring my macbook Air back and forth between work and home.

Do NOT try to install the new ScanSnap Home software! It does not support the older scanners, only the ix500.

While early AppleInsider tests have found Sierra to be a solid update for Mac users, every new software release has trials and tribulations for users to work through. Here are the first few that we've run into, and some possible solutions.
Some wired network configurations need minor massaging, or old gear replacement![]()
AppleInsider has learned that some wired network hubs with 10-base-T connectivity suffer from sporadic or slow data transfers, under some circumstances involving transfers to or from Sierra-equipped hardware.
The solutions for the problem are relatively simple. Dual-speed 10/100 switches and hubs or triple-speed 10/100/1000 devices generally just need a reset. In rare cases, a hub needs to be replaced, but every switch we've seen the problem with just needed a power-cycle.
The problem does not appear to manifest with routers with multiple speeds, or in 100/1000 network switches.
Scansnap Ix500 Software For Mac Sierra Vista
At present, users with Fujitsu scanners using the ScanSnap software should avoid Sierra at this time. Not only does the factory driver not function properly, but PDFs generated with the software don't render correctly with the macOS Sierra Preview application.
AppleInsider has learned that Fujitsu scanners compatible with TWAIN can use the third-party VueScan software.
Update: Fujitsu has clarified the situations in which the data loss bug manifests itself. An update is expected in the middle of October.
Some Bluetooth peripherals that worked under El Capitan no longer work
As part of the Bluetooth SIG, Apple stays on top of the latest errata for the Bluetooth protocol. As a result, some hardware that does not adhere to the specification so strictly may not work properly as Bluetooth has fixes applied incrementally between generations.

Power-cycling and re-syncing all involved devices sometimes fixes the problem. If functionality is still compromised, the option remains to revert to El Capitan.
Scansnap Software For Mac
Some hardware manufacturers do ultimately issue firmware updates for the latest Bluetooth protocol updates in a timely fashion, but most do not. As a result, even high-end Bluetooth products like hearing aids or in-car entertainment solutions may not work properly after an Apple software update.
MacOS Sierra appears to be one of the most problem-free initial version releases in some time. However, AppleInsider still recommends that all users that have a critical need involving computer hardware, to not update to any new version of any operating system until proper functionality of software or hardware necessary for a task is confirmed by the manufacturers or other users.
