Unable to use my Nikon 8000 ED film scanner on iMac

Running OS x 10.9.1 on a iMac 27. I installed VueScan but my system doesn't recognize the scanner and I can't figure out how to add it. Connection is firewire with 400 to 800 adapter. Any ideas?

If you are using a FW400/800 plug adapter of any kind, replace it with a single FW cable like this one to connect directly from your Coolscan8000 to your Mac.
If your Mac only has a Thunderbolt port (no Firewire) then also check your Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter. I have had trouble with off-brands. The only one that has ever worked for me is the official Apple Thunderbolt-Firewire Adapter.

Nikon LS3510-AF Film Scanner

I don't know what happened to my previous post on the subject. Only half of the text appears to have been published. No wonder I received no replies!
As I mentioned previously, I have a Nikon LS3510-AF film scanner (circa 1994) that I have been trying to get to work using a Mac Plus. I eventually gave up, and bought a fully functional Performa 6200 running OS 7.6.1, which should work with the scanner. Nikon no longer supports the LS3510-AF, but I found out that the scanner will work if I use Adobe Photoshop version 4 or 5 (which I have). I just need to obtain the Photoshop plug-ins for the scanner, but I cannot locate them anywhere here in the UK.
Please—anybody. This is becoming a real issue for me, that would be eased just by seeing the scanner work, just once even!
I would be grateful for any feedback.
Many thanks,
Steve

Steve,
I do not want to rain on your parade but you might have bigger problems than software. We aquired a Nikon LS-1000 Cool Scan in 1999. Tried it out and had a lot of spots on the image. I checked my slides for mildew or dust. Fortunately, the originals were still in good shape.
Checked with the Nikon dealer in town. Turns out that they did not build ultrasonic vibration cleaning into the earlier model scanners. So, the imaging units suffered from 'static cling.' Nikon had a proceedure for cleaning but it was not simple.
I can check to see what plug-in software came with the 1000.

Unable to use my MacBook as second screen for my iMac with Thunderbolt connection.

Hi,
I'm unable to connect my early 2009 iMac to my early 2011 MacBook Pro with thundercable to thundercable...
I want to use my MacBook Pro as second screen. I'm running Mavericks on both.
Someone who can help me?
Thanks a lot,

You can use the iMac as a second display, not the other way around.

Help with using a hi8 vid cam films on an iMac please

Hi all, Firstly please excuse me being such a luddite with technology! but I really hope someone can help?.I lost my Dad last year and my Mum is very ill and I have many fond memories of them both on HI8 tapes I really want to burn them to disc.
I have tried googling the awnser but just get totally confused by it!
Basically i have a heap of precious family HI8 tapes,a Canon UC-X10 hi8 camcorder with an s video and the yellow/red and white outputs,a 2 year old 27 inch imac running 0x10.8.4 and imovie.
Is there a way of transferring and editing these vids using my imac that is pretty "foolproof" and if so can anyone help me???
I will really appreciate any help you can give?
Many thanks in advance for any help that can be given.
Steve

Have you got a more modern video camera as well? If so you can set it up to "pass-through" video from the Hi8 to the iMac through a firewire cable.

Anyone aware of method to connect scsi film scanner to iMac (intel)

I have a Nikon LS-4500 medium format scanner which is now attached to a PC running XP which I would like to use with my iMac rather than maintaining two computers. Any ideas? Is a USB to SCSI connection possible?

http://www.tech-faq.com/how-to-connect-scsi-to-usb.html

in the google search you could also try replacing the usb part by firewire
mind you it may not be compatible
and if would require drivers for both the converter and a twain driver for the scanner
so make sure there are osx drivers for all parts before spending too much
though if it was me I would likely just flush the scanner out the toilet and buy a new one

Using NIKON Slide/film scanner

I have found no suitable place to find answers to my questions about using a NIKON FIlm scanner to obtain digital photos.. Perhaps someone might make a useful suggestion??
I have had a NIKON SF-210 slide/film scanner now for a couple or three years. However, I only started using it heavily last Fall (2008) to scan my large archive of old family slides. Unfortunately, as time has passed, the software has become more and more unstable causing me to have to restart the whole process after scanning only a small number of slides. Sometimes, it will not scan even one slide before crashing. I read somewhere that this behavior may be due to the upgrades in Mac software. I've done, repeatedly, all of the usual things that I can think of like reloading the software, etc.
I can't get a response concerning this problem from anyone at NIKON and they don't have any Mac version upgrades to the scanner software on their web sites, and haven't for some time, perhaps a couple or three years. Does NIKON still support Mac products??
Can anyone tell me how to solve or to find the solution to this problem?
Thanks, Gramp

I am using the Nikon Coolscan V (LS-50ED) USB connection with:
intel MBP 15" (2.8Ghz)
OSX 10.6.2. (Snow Leopard)
I am just using the standard (on disc) Nikon Software upgraded to version 4.0.2 via internet. The app says it is a *Application (PowerPC)* under the info section, so I assume that it is running on Rosetta. (the Genious did my upgrade to 10.6 so I don't know if he installed Rosetta or not, but I assume so.)
Everything seems to be working fine (as this is my first experience with scanning slides and color correction). Was a synch to set up. I am not the Ace though. I have only been using the slide scanner and not the film scanner yet (though I am soon to try).
FYI there is a flickr group of nikon scanner users. I found some of them helpful too.

Can I use my Nikon D90 AVI files in Premiere Pro CC on my iMac?

Hi and thanks in advance to anyone who can lend me a hand. I am new to both Premiere Pro CC and Macs. I have used my Nikon D90 AVI files before with Premiere Elements on my PC with no problem, but the same films aren't working on my new setup with Premiere Pro CC and an iMac.
I can see and preview the films in the Source window but when I try to drag them onto the sequence window I get a little hand with a "no" sign.
I am using a version 7.1.0 (141) of PP CC and am on OS X 10.9
Do I need to transcode the files? If so, to what? And what is the best way to do that?
Many many thanks for any help!

Just remember, you will not always get the answer you want right away. Some people will point you to tutorials, some, like me, will attempt to help and still point you to tutorials, and some will just answer the question as best they can.
Some might insult you, and some merely insult your intelligence. Don't be offended. Do, however, search the forums as best you can in an attempt to find the answer before you post.
I realize that people don't always have the right words to describe the problem, and therefore have trouble searching. If searching fails you, just ask. It generally works out in the long run. And as you have discovered, sometimes a combination of posts may do the trick.

Unable to install a software driver for Canon film scanner on mac OSX 10.6

I am unable to install a software driver for a Canon film scanner FS4000US. I have downloaded it from Canon then open the package click the install and it asks for a location namely the Applications folder. Then it says it has been installed re -start etc, but still no driver.
I am using Mac OS 10.6. Any suggestions greatly received. I have repaired/disk and permissions and it still does not work.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list. Post the messages from the last installation attempt, starting from the time when you launched the Installer or Software Update.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

I am unable to tether my Nikon D7000 to LR. I have Windows 8.

I am unable to tether my Nikon D7000 to Lightroom. All I get is a trouble message saying that no camera was deteted. I am using LR 5.7 and the cord provided with my camera. What possible fixes are there ?
Thanks,
Gordon

In case that didn't help, I found that some of the Windows services needed for USB-connected cameras weren't running, which stopped my D800 being detected. Run Windows Task Manager, go to Services tab, and look for these services (look for these names in the second column "Description"):
Windows Image Aquisition (WIA)
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator
RPC Endpoint Mapper
DCOM Service Process Launcher
Shell Hardware Detection
They should all show Status "running". If any is stopped, right-click and click "Start". On my system, "Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator" wasn't running.
If that fixes it, you might want to make sure it starts automatically in future. In task manager again, right-click the service that isn't running and choose "Open services". In this services app, find the service (this time look in the first column "name"). Right-click, choose "properties" and change the startup type to "Automatic".

Film scanner Nikon Coolscan V ED

I have the film scanner Nikon Coolscan V ED and want to know if anyone here use this ?
I try to find help for a problem but Nikon website doesn't speaks about film scanners (just cameras) and I tried Yahoo/Google search for some other sites/community board/discussions without success. I figure that people here might have a film scanner. Or can anyone direct me to a site that might help ?
Thank you.
Just in case someone here has this scanner I will post my problem too.
For some reason I did not install the reference manual and now that I want to install it, I can't because I have a problem with my computer (the DVD tray doesn't open).
Anyway, I need to find ASAP a solution to this problem:
When I scan a slide, the quality is good just like the slide. Then I save it to a folder, close the file and then go to the folder to reopen it (to check) and the image is grainy ! I tried numerous variations (file size, number of pixels per inch, etc.) but they all come grainy.
I'm sure (well, I guess) the explanation is in the reference manual on CD but as I said, I can't access this now. The print manual, which I have of course, do not mention this.
Please help.
Just in case there's a relation:
My monitor is, for years, on 800x600 because the recommended resolution makes the text too small. However I have literally downloaded thousands of JPEG pictures from the Web and the quality is excellent. So shouldn't my pictures be the same ?

I have a Polaroid SprintScan 35+ slide & film scanner & have scanned hundreds of slides. I scan at a resolution of 300ppi. What resolution are you using?
Afetr I scan I crop the image & color adjust, if necessary, & reduce the resolution to 72ppi (or 100ppi). I have my screen resolution set to 1280 x 960.

I locked myself out of my ipod touch for 60 mins then actually typed the wrong password in again. Now it is telling me to "connect to itunes". I am unsure how to do this. I am unable to use my ipod at all now. Please help.

Hi,
Due to my brother locking me out of my ipod touch I had to wait an hour to log in again. Unfortunately when I did this, I, again put in the wrong password twice more, each time locking me out for a further 60 minutes. On my 3rd attempt to log in the wrong password was entered again. This time though instead of logging me out for another 60mins it now tells me to "connect to itunes" but I have no idea how to do this and I am now unable to use my ipod. Please help.

Unable to use ASDM on 5510 and 5520 ASA

Hello,
I have been working with ASA's for about 8 months now. I have a 5520 that is brand new out of the box and a 5510 that I blew up last week (read as format disk, start from scratch).
I have generated RSA keys, loaded license keys, loaded IOS's and configs in the last few days. Luckily these boxes are table top at the moment and nothingto do with production. However, I have tried to load production configurations on to these boxes, and have determined that not all the lines of the configs will load.
To be specific at the moment, I am unable to load "asdm location 192.168.50.0 255.255.255.0 inside" on either box. I am also unable to use my broswer and HTTPS://192.168.50.1 to access the ASA, even though I have HTTP serve enabled and HTTP 192.168.50.0 listed in the config.
Because I blew up one of the boxes and started from scratch and the other box is brand new, is/are there any other special things that need to be done to these boxes? Like I could put in some of the "crypto" config lines in the boxes until I did the license keys, once they were lin, I could configure the crypto lines.
I am open to any suggestions as this point as I can't current get the VPN's to come up (different issue here) nor see what's going on with the VPN's without ASDM.
Thank you!
Tracey

Hi,
please configure the ASDM-permitted subnets as following:
http
and make sure that you have overlapping ciphers between the client and the ASA:
show run ssl
ssl encryption
if it persists, get the SSL captures at the ASA as .pcap
hope this helps

Unable to use iCloud on my iPhone 4S

I'm unable to use iCloud on my iPhone 4S. I click on Settings, Scroll to iCloud, Click on iCloud, and then it prompts me to enter my Apple ID and Password. After I do I click on Sign in and it says User name or password is incorrect and I know they're not. I try signing in with the same Apple ID and Password and I have no problem signing in. I don't know what's going on. Can someone please help??
