Nikon Coolscan LS 2000 won't be recognized bij Classic

When I want to work in Classic the Nikon LS 2000 scanner won't be recognized under Photoshop 6.(it has a SCSI-connection; the Umax-scanner has a USB and is recognized for sure). Is there any solution for this problem(Nikon says not, but I wont give up) I tried Vuescan but I don't like the program because its totally different. Anyone??

Two options that you might find useful are Silverfast http://www.silverfast.com/show/scanners-nikon/en.html and VueScan http://www.hamrick.com/
Silverfast will handle dust removal.
Silverfast is somewhat expensive, and VueScan is under $100.

10.6.4 and Nikon Coolscan 5000 and Fuji ScanSnapS1500M

Both scanners stopped working after the update. Attempted to re-install the software but no luck.
Fuji scanner: Software starts but scanner is not recognized by the software
Nikon scanner: Nikon Scan crashes repeatedly on start (i.e. Won't open).
Hopefully ScanSnap will update their software soon, however I doubt Nikon will. If anyone had a way around to make it work again it would be much appreciated.
Thank you

Using Aperture with Nikon Coolscan 5000

I have a few thousand slides from the old days and want to pick out and save the best of them. I decided to buy a Nikon Coolscan 5000 for the job. Can Aperture be used with the Coolscan? Or, would I be better off with Silverfast? I understand that Nikon software that comes with Coolscan won't work with mac os.
On another note, I ordered the Coolscan from Amazon in April, but they seem to be out of stock! Any idea why?
Thanks for the help.

The Nikon software works, but it's pretty old and it doesn't work all that well. It's a PPC binary so it runs through Rosetta, and I found it a bit flaky.
I have had good results with VueScan, to tell you the truth. It doesn't call Digital Ice™ by its proper name, but it supports the functionality, and I've been quite happy with the results.
One word of advice: Scan as TIFF files if you use it. Do not select RAW files as the output function. They are not true RAW files, and they are not compatible with Aperture. There's the option to export as 8 or 16 bit TIFF at a variety of DPIs, and you can choose what you want there.

Nikon Coolscan 5000 slide scanner - not supported since 10.5.5

Shortly after buying my Mac Pro and installing 10.5.5 my Nikon Coolscan 5000 slide and film scanner won't scan and save files. Apple have said it's a Nikon problem and Nikon have no plan to produce an update. I was just told to buy SilverFast instead which may work, but will cost £400 first to buy.
Any other work arounds with Photoshop Elements or another program? I have a slide feeder which will take up to 50 slides at a time. Any software suggestions which will allow this. My PC is much slower than my Mac, so would save me hours of time doing it on my Mac
Many thanks

HI,
You posted in the Leopard forum but you installed 10.5.5 and your profile indicates you are running 10.6.2 That's a might confusing....
In any case, try reinstalling the drivers (sofware) that came with your scanner then repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

HT201250 how uninstall mountain lion - nikon coolscan software no longer works

After installing mountain lion a few moments ago, I have not lost a valuable resource - the ability to use my Nikon CoolScan 5000. Since this product cost a lot of money, I would like to just uninstall mountain so that I can still use the software associated with this great scanner.
I have never used the Apple Support Community before, so not sure if this is manned by employees of Apple who can help me or if this more other Apple Users.
Thanks!

Good news. I took the iMac to the local Apple Store and the Apple Geniuses at the Genius Bar were able to help me out. Since I had Time Machine backing up files they were able to wipe everything from computer and reload back to where I was. I still have the installation option to re-install Mountain Lion if I want, but for now I am going to keep where I am.
So if you ever run into this problem, schedule an appointment at the Genius Bar.
Thanks!

I got a new laptop and installed iTunes and plugged in my iPod but it won't get recognized on iTunes or in my computer, the computer says unknown device found and that the software was not successfully installed.

Photoshop CC / Nikon Coolscan V ED compatibility in Windows 7 64 bit.

I managed to install a Nikon Coolscan V ED slide scanner in Windows 7 64 bit by first installing Vuescan, then Nikon Scan, but disallowing the installation of Nikon Scan drivers. Photoshop 7 sees the scanner in the file/import menu and previews, scans, and imports properly. Photoshop CC does not see the scanner. What is going on here, and is it possible to employ Photoshop CC with this scanner? (Both Photoshop 7 and Photoshop CC see another Mustek flatbed scanner attached to the system,)

Thank you for your response. Don't know exactly what the Vuescan installation did other than install a Vuescan driver for the scanner. Photoshop 7 shows the file/import entries: PDF Image..., Vuescan, SE A3 USB 1200 Pro..., SE A3 USB 1200 Pro_Network..., Nikon Scan 4.0..., Vuescan TWAIN..., WIA-ScanExpess A3 USB 600/1200 P..., and WIA Support.... Photoshop CC shows the entries: Frames to Layers..., Vuescan, and WIA Support.... I don't know how to interpret all these entries.
I take it that I could be running a 32 bit version of Photoshop CC instead of a 64 bit version, and that that might render the scanner visible. How does one download the 32 bit version? What practical disadvantages, if any, would there be in running a 32 bit version in preference to the 64 bit version?

Using a Nikon CoolScan 5000 with Lion

I have been using my Nikon Coolscan 5000 ED with Snow Leopard without problems, using SilverFast 6.
Since SilverFast upgraded to version 8, and I upgraded to Lion, I couldn't use the multislide scanner SF210. Now silverfast have produced a Beta version they say will work with Lion, but I can't see the scanner in my SilverFast window.
I have tried to find it in the Preferences "Print and Scan" window, but it doesn't show , although it is listed in my "About this Mac" window, connected to a high speed US bus.
Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrongly?

For scanning? Does Nikon provide any scanning software?
Image Capture can be used for scanning. The commercial VueScan will probably work. You can go to their website and check to see if your scanner is compatible.

Canon MP180 scanner won't be recognized after Mavericks upgrade

Dear Apple Support Communities members,
My Canon MP180 scanner won't be recognized after Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) upgrade: neither in Image Capture nor in MP180 standalone app.
The printer works well though.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot.
Best wishes,
Yves

Well...
I asked Canon support and got the answer that OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) was not supported.
I am kindly being suggested either to downgrade from 10.9 or to buy another scanner. Cool.

Aperture does not recognise TIF files from Nikon CoolScan

The TIF files from my Coolscan are good in every other application, but Aperture does not recognise them. I've tried re-saving the TIFs as JPG and PDS but Aperture doesn't recognise any file generated from the TIF. Maybe it's something to do with the scanner driver? Any ideas how to load these files into Aperture?

You might check the color space that is assigned to the files. If you are using Nikon Scan software to manage your CoolScan, there is a preference for setting the color space of the saved file. FWIW, Nikon CoolScan .nef files are a 'raw' file, not camera raw, that was/is a Nikon proprietary format for their scans. If you use the Nikon Scan for image editing, the edits are non-destructive in saved files and can be adjusted by re-opening the file in NS. Adobe first made editing camera raw available in early 2003 and the Nikon format preceded that. Nikon's camera raw format also has the .nef extension, but is not the same as the CoolScan .nef-- really confusing. I suggested checking the color space, because Nikon has different internal names for Adobe RGB(1988) as well as their own Wide Gamut space.
All said, I've not had a problem opening .tif scan files in Aperture.

Downloading from Nikon Coolscan V into Elements 10 on a Mac os x

Before opting for a trial of Elements 10 I asked in this forum if it was possible to download images from my Nikon Coolscan V scanner onto my Mac OS X via Elements 10. I was advised that I should move the TWAIN plug-in from optional plug-ins (in applications - Elements 10 - support files - import modules) to plug-ins.
I did this after downloading Elements 10 & moved the TWAIN from the optional plug-ins folder to the plug-ins folder, a simple move. However, in neither the organizer nor the editor can I find any route to downloading from the Nikon. In the organizer - file - get photos & videos - the options are camera or card reader (trying that shows no device found), or other options dealing with importing images from the hard drive. In help, the only mention of assistance with scanners is for Windows only, & no information at all about Macs.
I'm sure I'm missing something elementary & my general ignorance of Elements 10 is probably a major factor in this - but Elements 10 looks to be a much more versatile tool than the Nikon recommended Silverfast programme (the trial of which downloaded with instantaneous ease from the Nikon). My intention is to use scanned stills in Premiere Pro CS5 so the 'marrying' of two adobe programmes seems a logical thing to aim for - if I can download & edit my stills from the Nikon scanner into Elements 10 ..any help for a novice would be appreciated greatly!
Thanks
Brian Fanning

Dear Barbara,
Thanks for your help (& education) - in Elements editor file, import gives me four options - both anti-aliased pict & pict resource open my finder & I have used the Nikon folder to seek a connection via Nikon scan plug-in 4, (which is grayed & will not open). The other options are HPscan (I have disconnected my HP scanner/printer to simplify things) & frame from video (obviously not relevant here). I have presumed to select the Nikon folder in my Finder for lack of any other logical option to select.
From your guidance I imagined file, import would name the Nikon Coolscan on the initial list in the editor, but whatever, I still do not know how to link the nikon to Elements. The Nikon scan was uninstalled previously because it was inactive on my Mac, & Nikon advised that this should be the case. I wondered if I should re-install, but when trying the Silverfast software the image was imported instantly via image/ prescan, denoting that the Nikon software was uneeded
In return for your further assistance I hereby pledge never again to confuse my imports with my downloads!!
Thanking you
Brian Fanning

ELEMENTS 10 & NIKON COOLSCAN V

Will Photoshop Elements 10 download images from a Nikon Coolscan V scanner?

In Elements 10, you’ll need to copy the Adobe TWAIN driver (Twain_32.8ba), if your scanner requires it, from the optional plug-ins folder to the Import-Export folder in the main plug-ins folder.
You will need to copy the plug-in Twain_32.8ba
Copy from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Optional Plug-Ins\Import-Export
Copy to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\en_US\Plug-Ins\Import-Export.
N.B. on Windows 32 bit navigate to Program Files. Replace en_US with your own system location if necessary.

Nikon Coolscan V ED and iMac Core Duo

Anybody using their Coolscan V ED, or another film or flatbed scanner, with the new iMac Core Duo? I plan purchasing the CS V ED in the very near future, but unsure whether it will work well with the new iMac.

Here is my little exchange with Nikon today...
After they referred me to the FAQ that I already read.
ME: "Thank-you for your reply but I still think you've failed to answer my question. The article you refer me to with your link is main reason I contacted you. I'd like you to escalate this issue to somebody that can answer my questions in more detail...
Which BRAND-NEW Macintosh computers are supported with the Nikon LS5000 scanners?
Does Nikon intend to support Mac? If so, then when, since all new Macintosh computers now have Intel processors?
It's already been four months of new Intel Macs, I'd expect Nikon to have at least some small idea of how much longer would before the Mac platform is again supported?
What's even more disturbing is that I only stumbled upon this issue by browsing this support forum. I was on the verge of purchasing at least four and possibly up to eight scanners and corresponding computers. That would have been a financial disaster for my company considering the lack of support and the seeming lack of concern by Nikon regarding the new Mac computers.
NOWHERE in your sales literature or the Nikon Coolscan website does it say that Macs with Intel processors are not supported. The sales literature only states that Macs require at least a G3 processor or better. Most people would read that and assume that a brand new Mac with the latest processor would be better than a G3.
Shame on Nikon for hiding this issue under the rug and not providing a prompt solution for their very loyal customers."
NIKON: "Hello,
These days new operating system version pop up every other week.
We strive to keep our products up to date with the latest operating systems out there, and work closely with Microsoft and Apple to see that this support comes as quickly as possible.
Apple is still offering systems with the PowerPC processors, like the iBook G4, Power Book G4, and the Power Mac G5.
As of today, we do not support the new Mac systems with the Intel chipset, but this is currently being looked into. We have no other information to offer at this time.
Thank you,
Dave"
ME: "These days new operating system version pop up every other week." LOL- You must be thinking of Windows where there are nearly a dozen versions not counting the new Vista.
But I understand. Nikon is working on it and you have no further information. That's fine.
However, your sales literature is seriously flawed. It says that the scanner will be compatible with a G3 or better processor. If your equipment doesn't work with the newer Intel processor, then it's NOT compatible with a G3 or better; it's ONLY compatible with a G3, G4, & G5.
My complaint is that you should either make a note in your literature at least for your vendors or issue an estimated date of when you're going to fix the problem.
As I explained, this is a PRE-SALES question and your attitude towards me is troubling. I was looking to purchase between four and eight of these scanners and because of inaccurate information in YOUR brochures, I almost purchased thousands of dollars of useless computer systems.
Maybe you should forward my question up the chain of command at Nikon... to somebody that cares more about what POTENTIAL customers think.
Meanwhile, I will post this issue at dozens of Mac user forums so that others don't make a big mistake by thinking a new Nikon scanner will work on their new Mac computer system.
NIKON: "Hello,
We certainly do care about potential customers, which is why we will not offer any software that is not ready to be released. Software development takes a very long time to finalize, and involves a huge amount of testing before it is published publicly. Our timetable for software release for this new technology is unclear at this point, and we apologize for that.
As for the product literature, it will be updated to include this new item in time, and our vendors are supplied with up to date support information on a regular basis. At the time of publication, all information on the brochures was correct and up to date.
Thank you for pointing that out, however, and I will be happy to pass your comments onto our QA team for review.
Regards,
Dave"
I think everyone with a Nikon Scanner who is considering the purchase of an Intel Mac or vice-versa should send Nikon a flood of complaints regarding the issue. How long can this really take them? The new Macs have been out for quite a while now.
In my experience, Nikon has excellent equipment but once they identify an issue, they do nothing to resolve it. It gets swept under until the next scanner is released.
Example: The older LS-4000 scanner had firewire communication "issues". Issues that were never fully resolved but the LS-5000 scanner is now USB-2.0

Nikon Coolscan 4000

I am using PS CS5 Extended 64 bit with WIN 7 64 bit and would like to be able to import scans from a Nikon Coolscan 4000. The scanner works in WIN 7 independently of CS5 however it does not appear in CS5's import panel of devices under WIA. Is there a way to make the scanner known to CS5?

I'll just add that I believe the optional TWAIN plug-in is only available for Photoshop 32 bit, so you'll have to use the 32 bit version if you do go this route.
Both 32 and 64 bit versions of Photoshop are typically installed on a 64 bit Windows system.
