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.

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.

Is there any way to darken the gridlines in iCal? I'm using it on a Macbook with Lion and find it difficult to see the gridlines on the iCal display.

''Problem:'' For whatever reason, NoScript is stopping Runescape Community Toolbar from working properly which freezes your first Firefox window.
''Fix:'' Uninstall the toolbar. Disable NoScript. Install the toolbar. Add your RS account to it and make sure it works, then Enable NoScript again.
EDIT: Posted a fix earlier that was wrong. Corrected to the right one, sorry ^_^ Answer was on Runescape Forums.

Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

Although I gave up investment tracking for personal reasons (I had used Quicken Deluxe 2002 for many years for that reason), my understanding is that the new Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion is completely the same feature wise as Quicken 2007 for PPC. It will run on Snow Leopard, too.
For $15, why not download it and just try it and LET US KNOW!

Can I use filemaker pro 8.0 with Lion

Lion is not yet released. You will find out after Lion is released. At this point in time no one knows what will be compatible and what will not.

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

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.

What performance, using external Thunderbolt bootable hd with Lion, final cut protools

is realistic install or clone my internal hard drive with the OS and all pro apps i use daily on an external thunderbolt drive and to use that drive to boot with and work on any other mac in the world (thunderbolt of course).

Well first off, you may run into difficulty because many Thunderbolt Macs are not Snow Leopard compatible. I'm not even sure how compatible Thunderbolt is with Snow Leopard when it comes to external drives. You posted to the Snow Leopard forum, so that's an issue to consider. Secondly some system specific drivers in 10.6 may not work across all the possible Macs you might be able to connect to. You are better off just sharing the data files with other Macs. To learn about which Macs are Snow Leopard compatible, see the bottom of:

Can I use CS3 on a Mac with Lion 10.8.4?

Hi, Ive recently purchased a Mac with Lion as the operating system 10.8.4, and have CS6 suite. However, my old mac runs CS3, and I still have this software which I also want to run on my new mac. However,when I go to open a flash file with CS3, its keeps saying trial expired. I have the serial number for this but it won't let me install properly as it thinks im upgrading but I wish to run cs3 for a special project. Can you help?

Open the presentations in iWork '09, "Duplicate", then "Save". In the dialog box, towards the bottom, check "Save a copy as.." and choose "iWork '08" from the pull down menu. That should give a copy that you can take to the church Mac.
Unfortunately I don't have iWork '08 available to check this so I can't guarantee that it will work!

I bought a used macbook air (newest model) with lion and when I try and install iPhoto it says "These apps cannot be accepted by your Apple ID. These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases "

I am a new mac user so there is a lot that I don't yet know or understand. The previous owner did a clean re-install of lion and my air is covered under warranty till August. We called apple when I bought it to make sure it wasn't stolen and registered it to me. I am just trying to be able to transfer my pictures from my iphone to my air. I also want to set up icloud which looks like it requires iphoto. Also, what are the other iLife apps? I have a feeling I will encounter the same issues with those. Thanks for your help.

If new versions of iPhoto and the other iLife applications (iMovie and GarageBand) were purchased by the previous owner from the Mac App Store, then they will be locked to the previous owner's Apple ID and cannot be transferred to you. You will have to re-purchase them under your own Apple ID.
If this is an older MBA that came with Snow Leopard or an earlier version of Mac OS X, though, the system would have come with an installation disk that included the iLife applications, a disk which the seller should have provided to you. Those iLife applications would be older versions, of course, and may or may not work in Lion depending on how old they are.
Regards.

Is it possible to use iCloud between a MBA with Lion and a iMac with snow leopard?

I have an iMac with Mac OS X 10.6.8 and an MBA with Mac OS X 10.7.2. I want to use iCloud to synchronise my pages documents, my calendar and adressbook between the two. Is that possible?

icloud for snow leopard does work if you do the following:
Go to iCal preferences.
Set up new account.
Account Type: CalDAV
User Name: Your MobileMe / iCloud email address
Password: Your password for above
Server Address: p06-caldav.icloud.com

Using a Nikon 5400 camera with ipod

Has anyone managed to get a Nikon Coolpix 5400 camera to download to the latest Ipod. The camera has the correct file transfer protocol but is not included in the compatable camera list on Ipod's website, although they say "other cameras may also work". I want to know if it will work before I buy one of these Ipods.

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 can't use Keynote with Lion; the wheel is always running., I can't use Keynote with Lion; the wheel is always running.

I can't use kyenote for my presentations with Lion. I did not have any problem before using Lion.
I am yhinking to leave Lion.

I had this problem. Performance of Keynote 5.1 under Lion was unacceptable; it freezed for several seconds with spinning beachball every time I made a change to a slide. There are many blog discussions about the problem, which might be related to Lion's implementation of autosave/Versions. I used the solution described in this discussion (page 22) for downgrading Keynote from version 5.1 to version 5.05 (which doesn't support the Lion Versions implementation):
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3199161?start=315&tstart=0
This completely restored normal responsiveness to Keynote. Note that you need your original iWork '09 install DVD, and the script recommended to remove iWork takes several minutes to run. You also need to be careful not to let Software Update reinstall the 5.1 update.
It seems clear that Apple needs to release an update to Keynote to address this problem, hopefully soon.
