Using Nikon LS-2000 Scaner

I am considering buying an iMac 24". I understood there are some problems using Nikon cool scan LS-2000 with the iMac.
So my question is – can I use, when I need to scan slides, the iMac as a monitor with my old PC which has a SCSI card enabling the scanner to work perfectly on it?

Although the parallel port on the scanner might look like a regular parallel port, I venture to guess that it's actually a special-purpose SCSI connector, and not compatible with the USB converter you've got.
If you put an old parallel port-style printer on the USB converter, I bet it would work. I guess what you really need, is a SCSI-USB converter and I doubt these actually exist. You might be better off passing this old scanner to eBay and get yourself a more recent USB-based one.

  • Using Nikon Super Cool Scan 8000ED through 800/400 firewire converter

    I have a Nikon Super CoolScan 8000 ED that I am trying to use with my iMac quad-core i5 running Snow Leopard. The only connection coming out of the scanner is Firewire 400. I purchased a Firewire 400/800 adapter and plugged it into the Firewire 800 port on the iMac. There is no response from the computer, it doesn't even seem to be able to detect that the scanner is connected at all.
    I have downloaded the driver from Nikon, and it appears to be installed on the computer.
    Any suggestions? -J.

    People have had a lot of problems with FW400/FW800 plug adapters. Better to use a cable with a 6-pin FW connector on one end and 9-pin FW connector on the other. Here is the cable I use and it works perfectly.
    Make sure you can 'see' the scanner in +System Profiler > Hardware > Firewire.+ If the scanner shows up there, then any scanning app should be able to access the scanner.
    Also, what driver did you download from Nikon? There is no driver needed for this scanner on OS X. Did you download & install Nikon Scan (4.0 or 4.0.2)? You don't need it - it's not a driver, it's a scanning app and it was never updated for Snow Leopard; only a lucky few seem to have been able to get NikonScan working on Snow Leopard.
    Download a copy of Vuescan - it works great with the Nikon scanners.

  • IPhoto nightmare. Tried to import photos using Nikon software for the first time and all my photos disappeared from iPhoto 8.1.2 (and everything from itunes too). Newly reinstalled iPhoto crashes as soon as I import anything now.

    Macbook OSX 10.5.8, iPhoto 8.1.2. I just tried to import some photos using Nikon software (View NX2) for the first time. When I next looked into iPhoto it was empty (so was iTunes but that's another story). I had backed up photos fairly recently but don't use time machine. Searched in vain everywhere and must have done something wrong because iPhoto wouldn't then open at all, saying it was unreadable. After a lot more attempts to recover I uninstalled iPhoto and the receipts and reinstalled from my original disc. It seemed to be ok and imported some photos from my iphone but as soon as the import is complete iPhoto crashes and when opened again it is empty. Have tried this several times and have shut down and have tried rebuilding with the alt and cmd buttons but nothing seems to help. Any ideas?

    not a reply but not sure how to add something to my own thread! It seems that Desktop was damaged too as when I try to open it a screen says there is no application selected to open Desktop with. No idea what I should choose! Any help appreciated, have really made a mess of my MacBook this time.

  • How can i scan to a pdf file using hp officejet 4500 scan feature

    Hello pf1tarac, I don't believe that is possible. In order to create a PDF file, you would need Adobe Acrobat or some other PDF compatible product to save a scan to the PDF format.
    There are some free PDF programs available.  Here  is a link to one of them.

  • I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files.  For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file.  It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

    I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files.  For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file.  It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
    The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
    I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
    I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
    After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs.  The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
    Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue?  I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
    Thanks.

    I had the same problem.
    Got a 90% fix.  Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
    Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
    1.  Quit Image Capture
    2.  Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
    3.  Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
    4.  Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
    5.  Quit and restart "Image Capture".   Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder.  It insists on saving to "Pictures".
    That's as far as I was successful.  I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
    This is what I tried:
    6.  Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
    7.  Quit "Image Capture".  Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
    8.  Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
    9.  Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer.  I like "~/Desktop"
    10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter.  Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
    11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
    I consider this a bug.

  • Using Nikon D5200 NEF images in PSE

    Hi
    I currently have PSE8 which will not read the NEF images from my Nikon D5200. I know that I can use the Adobe DNG Convertor 7.3 to convert them to DNG outside of PSE8 then work with the DNG images in PSE8. However, I would prefer, if possible, to work directly with the NEF images as a plugin.
    This article:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    states that the current PSE11 can only support the Raw Camera Plugin up to 7.2. This article:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    indicates that the Nikon D5200 requires the Raw Camera Plugin 7.3.
    Q1 - Based on the above am I therefore correct that it is not currently possible to use Nikon D5200 NEF images directly in any currently available PSE?
    Q2 - If, the answer to Q1 is Yes does anyone have a feel for whether its likely in the next version of PSE? Or would I have to save up for the full Photoshop program to do what I want?
    Thanks

    The first link is out of date.
    Yes, photoshop elements 11 supports camera raw 7.3
    You should be able to update pse 11 to camera raw 7.3 by going to Help>Updates from within the pse 11 editor if you should decide to trial and/or purchase pse11.

  • "Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan

    "Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan with a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus All-In-One network printer.
    Printing is fine.
    When using the HP Scan application, get the error "Scanner communication cannot be established".
    When scanning from the printer itself it fails with the same message. In addition the printer panel displays the error:
    "The scan could not be completed due to one or more of the following issues:
    Connection to the computer is lost
    The scanner is in use
    OCR application is not installed"
    My PC is a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit, with ethernet cable to the router and ethernet cable to the printer
    Originally ran Windows 8.0; recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.
    Older separate Netgear router and modem was replaced with a newer Netgear Router/Modem, but both experienced the same problem.
    There was no problem with the original Windows 8.0 configuration and only after upgrading to 8.1 did the problem emerge.
    On my home netowrk I have an HP ProBook 6550b running Windows 7 sp1 that uses wireless to get to the Router, and it has no problem with scanning.
    I have followed the recommendations of a number of articles relating to this issue (including: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&​lc=en&docname=c02915410&product=4323659#N94), but there has been no change in behaviour.
    The printer has a static IP address;
    Power settings have been adjusted to Never for Turn off Hard Disk; Sleep and Hybrid Sleep.
    Scanning has been tested with all firewalls and antivirus turned off and in Selective Startup.
    The printer has been plugged directly into the power socket.
    With all these settings the Windows 8.1 cannot scan while the Windows 7 laptop with wireless to the router has no problems.
    Appreciate any insights into this problem.
    I can only surmise that the problem is a compatibility problem between the 8600 Printer and Windows 8.1.
    Any ideas?
    regards,
    Motorbike

    You can determine if there is compatiblity between the printer and PC by checking the Windows 8.1 hardware compatibility list. I have done that and it is shown to be fully compatible.  If the driver you installed before was only the basic driver,it would explain the lack of scan and copy functionality.
    Download and install the Windows 8.1 full feature driver and software on the HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit PC .

  • I recently downloaded LION. How do I get my Nikon Cool IV scan driver to work?

    I recently downloaded LION. How do I get my Nikon Cool IV scan driver to work?

    You probably can't. Nikon says that Nikon Scan, last updated over two years ago, isn't fully compatible even with Mac OS X 10.5. It probably won't work with Lion at all. Nikon suggests a third party software option such as Vuescan from Hamrick.com or Silverfast software. Both companys say that their software does support the CoolScan IV and is compatible with Lion.

  • How can i use Nikon D 7100 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 with Photoshop CS 5 Camera Raw?

    How can i use Nikon D 7100 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 with Photoshop CS 5 Camera Raw?

    The one needs 7.4 (or better), the other 8.1, so Photoshop CS5 with ACR6 is not up to the task.
    The free DNG Converter could be used to convert the RAW images to DNG which your version of ACR should be able to process.

  • Find out the SQLs which are using a full table scan

    Hello all , how can i to find out the queries which are using a full table scan ? Any idea ?

    In general, though, why would you want to tune SQL statements that aren't causing problems? Statspack will tell you what the most resource-intensive SQL statements on your system are. A SQL*Net trace of sessions that are performing poorly will indicate which statements are the most resource-intensive for that session. If a statement is incorrectly doing a full-table scan, but it is not causing a problem, why spend time tuning it? If you're not focusing your tuning attention on identifying statements that are causing problems, you'll also miss out on 90% of tuning opportunities which involve rewriting (or eliminating) code to make it more efficient. I can simulate a join on two tables with nested cursor loops, which won't generate a single full table scan, but replacing that code with a real join, while it will cause at least one full table scan, will be orders of magnitude faster.
    As an aside, full table scans aren't necessarily a bad thing. If a statement needs to retrieve more than a couple percent of the rows of a table, full table scans are the most efficient way to go.

  • Vision system design using 2 Basler line scan cameras

    I would like to use 2 Basler line scan cameras (models L100 or L200) that I checked on the NI site as being approved. I would like to know how to acquire image data from 2 cameras at the same time and log this to the computer database.This is a high speed web application.

    Jack,
    You shouldn't have any problem. You will need to use two PCI-1422 or PCI-1424 cards, since each card can only handle a single camera. You can use the RTSI bus to synchronize the two cameras. You will probably need an encoder for timing signals.
    I am not sure what information you want to log to a database. If you are planning on storing the images, it could slow down your system, depending on the size of the images.

  • Can you import video from dvcam using a dsr 2000 into final cut pro 10?

    Can you bring video from a DVCam tape using a DSR 2000 into Final Cut Pro?

    Should work OK with the iLink (a.k.a. Firewire a.k.a. IEE1394a) interface, but you may have to capture using iMovie, then ( in FCX) running File > Import > iMovie Events.)

    I can't not transfer files in 'log and transfer' of Final Cut Pro. I recorded it in SD card using Nikon D7000 and JVC GY-HM100U.
    I think I need plug-in.  Please let me know.  Thank you.

    Well, the Nikon D7000 footage cannot be logged and transferred.  There is no plugin for that like there is for the Canon cameras. Nikon never developed one.  So the footage from that camera will need to be converted with Compressor or MPEG STREAMCLIP.
    The JVC should work...what version of FCP are you on?
