    There are a few reasons why you trophies may not be able to be scanned:

    1. PlayStation trophies are NOT automatically synced to the PSN database so in order for the scanners to see your new trophies you need to make sure that they have fully synced to 100%. Do this by scrolling over to the PSN tab and opening 'Trophy Collection' in the XBM, you can either press Triangle and 'Sync with Server' or open the collection to initiate the sync.

    2. Make sure that Privacy Settings on your trophy information is shared to 'Anyone'.
    Details on how to change them here (Note can only be changed from the consoles):
    PS3 privacy settings - Under 'Controlling the group of players who can see the trophies you earned'
    Vita privacy settings
    PS4 privacy settings.

    3. Linked to Privacy Settings it is also possible to hide specific game's trophies, while in your 'Trophy Collection' pressing Triangle on a game and then 'Privacy Settings' you can check/uncheck whether that specific game's trophies will be shared publicly.

    There are two ways to hide (and un-hide) individual games on PS4
    a) Near the place you are guided to in the official help page under solution 2: (Settings) > [PlayStation Network/Account Management] > [Privacy Settings] > [Sharing Your Experience].
    Instead of clicking 'Trophies' (which is privacy for all of your trophies), two options down is {new} 'Hidden Games'. This is where you can see the checklist for all of your games and apps- ticked means hidden. You get two separate lists: PS4 games, and PS3 & Vita.

    b) While viewing your Trophies list press Options on any game and then select 'Privacy Settings', then 'Hidden Games'. Then you will be taken to the same place and given the same PS4 or 3&V choice.

    You can check if your profile is displaying all your trophies correctly Via this page before scanning.

    You trophies aren't scanning since the scanner is down anyway.

    Also to note, my milestones updated after forced scanned but my homepage, games list, trophy lists didn't. That's where it says waiting on 63 gamers...

    Judging by this topic, there's definitely something wrong with scanner 2 like you say
    Malfunctioning Scanners
    I can't help you but two recent threads in the bug forums mentioning it should be enough to get it attention from whoever's in charge of keeping an eye on the bug forum

    Registered on the 8th of August. Trophies are synched and are available to share. Checked trophies on the web and they are displayed correctly. On here it says not been scanned and wont scan. When i try to join a chat room it says invalid psn id yet my email address is correct.

    I used the xbox site with no problems yet here it doesnt seem to work at all.
