Why does every negative scanned on the Epson Perfection v600 have a yellow line going vertically down on it?

If the lines are in the same location for all scanned outputs, it is clearly dust on the scanner glass. Clean it thoroughly.

I also own a v300, and I have noticed that I occasionally get rainbow streaks if I bump the scanner at all while it is scanning negatives, so this might have something to do with vibrations in the machine. Is it sitting on a stable surface?

You probably need to reset (not reload) the scanner software. Start the Epson scan software. Select professional mode from the pull down menu (it lets you choose between auto, home and professional.) On the next screen select at the very bottom select configuration. The next screen should have 4 tabs, select other. The at the bottom (I think) select restore to factory defaults. This will reset your software, now you can use auto mode if you want it to make all your selections or home if you want some control or professional if you want to control everything. Don't forget to use your film holder that came with the unit and remove the white cover that is locked underneath the lid that covers the film illumination bulb.

hi there. you actually downloaded the right driver :

try this Run Photoshop in Rosetta mode; Epson Scan 2.77A only runs in Rosetta mode.

Follow the steps below to run Photoshop in Rosetta mode:

1. Open the Hard Drive, select Applications > Adobe Photoshop, then select the Adobe Photoshop icon.
   
   
2. Hold down the -I keys to open the Get Info window.
   
   
3. Check the Open Using Rosetta option, then close the window.
   
   
4. Start Photoshop.
