I have a firewire scanner but my new computer does  not have a firewire port

I have a Nikon Coolscan firewire scanner, but my new computer does not have a firewire port. Are there any suggestions on how I can continue to use my scanner? Is there some form of Firewire to USB interface?
Thanks for any ideas.
John

I would think Gene's adapter will work fine, but if you are stuck, it might be useful to find larger number of Nikon users to ask.  The DPReview forums come to mind, except they are split into sections.  If you are on flickr, there is bound to be a general Nikon group.  The Canon group on flickr gets a ton of traffic and has a trillion members.  Then there are places like Fred Miranda and Luminous Landscape, that is mostly populated by grown ups with lots of knowledge.  On second thoughts, forget about Luminous Landscape, unless that was a typo in your first post, and you actually have a Hasselblad or PhaseOne scanner

    Hey ems6,
    You might need to copy the installer to the USB disk on another computer.
    Hope that helps.

  • Can anyone point me in the right direction for the link to download Acrobat 9 Standard?  I found the link to download 9 Pro but not standard.  Old computer crashed and new computer does not have a CDR/DVD rom drive.

    Hi,
    Standard or Pro would be licensed through your serial number, the download link and downloaded file would be the same for both of them.
    Pro or Standard would be determined after you put in your serial number.

    Transferring does not work, you need to install using installation files. Downloadable versions can be found at the following linked pages...

  • Only have 3 devices authorized, but my new computer will not authorize. Itune says there are 5 devices connected already. why?

    Perhaps the five includes computers that you no longer own, or a computer that has had a replacement hard drive put in it.
    In your iTunes account, De-authorise All and then authorise the computer(s) that you still use.

  • Where can I find a download version of PS CS4 Ext as my new computer does not have a disc drive.

    Where can I find a download version of PS CS4 Extended  as my new computer does not have a disc drive.    I have the original disc and would like to get the updates.   Can anyone help?

    People successfully download the software from that link daily.

    Did you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first BEFORE you clicked the download links?

  • How can i share my library with my new computer when the itunes on the new computer does not have the "look for shared libraries" command in the preferences/shared pane?

    It worked fine before i updated the most recent update, My old computer readds the new one but the new one does not read the old one now.

    Is the iTunes library actually shared on the old computer?
    I have never had a need for forcing iTunes to look for shared libraries, it simply detects them.

  • My new computer does not have iWeb and I can't open the files from the old computer. What can I do???

    I'm really desperate. I used to publish to a blog directly from iWeb, then I discontinued it. When I made the switch to iCloud, I wasn't worried because I knew my files would always be there. However, once I got a new computer, I transferred all the old files to an external hard drive and I thought everything would work just fine. Well, it didn't Neither can I open iWeb nor can I find my files.
    Can anyone help me please?

    New Macs have not shipped with iWeb for over 2 years and Apple has not sold or supported iWeb for at least 2 years now - Apple stopped selling it and dropped support for it when MobileMe was ditched in favour of iCloud which does not offer hosting.
    If you want iWeb, then you will need to have a look at your old installation CD's for your old Mac and see if iWeb is on these and you can then install it from there or if you don't have these CD's any longer, then you'll have no option but to purchase a copy of either iLife 09 or iLife 11 from Amazon - these boxed sets both contain iWeb 09, which is the latest version of iWeb.
    Other than this and as you have not done your blog for sometime, perhaps you should consider re-creating it from scratch with a software that is actively supported and updated - that is NOT iWeb any longer.
    You could try using WordPress, either .com or .org - .org is good if you already have hosting and you can install WordPress directly onto your server.  If you want something free, then you could use WordPress.com which is then published on the WordPress servers.
    You could also take a look at EverWeb from Rage Software, which is very new and is very like iWeb with all the extras, such as drop down menus etc.  Take a look at http://www.everwebapp.com.
    As for your files, it sounds that when you say files, these might be the published files for your site, if you went into iWeb and published them to a local folder?  This is not a backup and even if you could find these files, then iWeb will not be able to open them because it has no import facility, so cannot open an already published site - html and css files.
    What you need is your domain.sites files which can be found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
    I would cut your losses and if you don't have iWeb, then don't bother paying for software that is now outdated and unsupported - move onto to something new and re-create everything in either WordPress or EverWeb.

  • I followed the instructions but my new computer does not show my old bookmarks, etc. what happened?

    I followed the instructions to sync firefox to my new computer. I saved info, printed my sync key. I had to disconnect my old computer from the internet, and then reconnect to my new one.

  • I have a cd with office on from my previous iMac but the new one does not have a cd slot.

    what to do?????

    There are 3, not 2 options, you have seen the hard way, here's the easy way.
    If you have an Office 2011 DVD (not CD) just download the software from Microsoft and when asked enter the activation key from the box your copy of Office came in.
    No need to mess with drives, external or in another Mac.
    You can download the software from here: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/office-2011-digital-download

  • I need to download Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard because my new computer doesn not have cd media.  When I put my serial number in, it says it is not valid.

    My new computer does not have CD media so I need to download Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard online.  I am able to download but when it prompts me for the serial number, it says my number is not valid.  I have double and triple checked, the serial number has been entered EXACTLY as it says on the box.  What could be causing this?

    Adobe acrobat 9 standard you will need to use a computer which does contain an optical drive and copy the contents to a USB drive.  You can then install from the USB drive on your computer which does not include an optical drive.  Unfortunately if you did not choose download at the time of purchase then I am not aware of any download locations for the installation files.

  • I upgraded Safari in my Mac (10.6.8 Leopard) but the new version does not work with my system so that I now have not a working browser. How can I solve the problem and/or install back my previous Safari version?

    I have upgraded Safari in my Mac, but the new Safari does not work with my system. So I find myself without any working browser. How can I solve this problem and/or install my previous Safari version?

    Reinstall Safari 5.1.10 for OS X 10.6.8: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1569. Might do the trick.
    But, frankly, I don't think that simply reinstalling the old Safari will work because of all the peripheral, under the hood changes that happen when you upgrade from one version of Safari to another. Reinstalling 5.1.10 may be insufficient to turn back the clock. (This is the moment where a Time Machine or another form of full backup would save your bacon.)
    While you're getting a copy of Safari 5.1.10, get a copy of Firefox (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/desktop/), too, so that you have an alternate browser to use as you're sorting matters.
