Will Konica Minolta Dimage Scan Multi PRO Slide

I am bidding on this film scanner on ebay. it is a bit older. Says it can be used on macs but on older versions. Before I buy this, i need to know if it will work on my new Imac. Just bought it 3 months ago.
Here is the link to an older review:
http://www.filmscanner.info/en/MinoltaDimageScanMultiPro.html

The firewire interface could be a problem. Your iMac - if it is new, does not have a firewire port, so you will have to use an adapter. (Apple sells one of these.) That is the hardware side. On the software side you will need a driver.
I used a Minolta Dimage scanner for years. It had a scsi interface, which was fine with the Macs of that generation. But I had to use a third party driver:

I have a Konica Minolta DiMage Scan Dual IV scanner for use with 35mm slides. KM refers me to Sony.

I have not used my DiMage Scan Dual IV scanner since 2005. The KM web site tells me it has discontinued support for the unit but that Sony now does it. I am looking for an update to my software that will allow me to connect the unit to a Mac System 10.6.8, then a 10.7 iMac. Can you provide me with an updated program?

Hi Guy,
Welcome to Sony Community!
Sony is no longer supporting Konica Minolta products. However, as long as the camera body is Sony, the unit will be repaired by Sony for the following situations:
If you do not know whether the defect is of lens or body.
If you’re unable to detach the lens/accessory from the main body
Units requiring repeat repair.
Additional information for this model will be available on Konica Minolta website:

Thank you for your post.

Cannot open files produced by dimage scan multi-pro

I have a Minolta dimage multi-pro which I used to be able to launch from cs2. The XP died. I got another, reinstalled the scanner and cs2. When I first did this, I could launch the scanner from cs2 (could from the old xp) There is some trick to bringing the scanner into the import menu. Beyond that, A month ago I was able to save files as tif and open them in cs2. Now cs2 woun't open the file. I get a message "Could not complete your request because of a program error." Any help would be appreciated.

Konica Minolta Dimage A200 supported in iPhoto 5?

Hi.
I am considering replacing my Canon IXUS v2 camera with the Konica Minolta Dimage A200. Primarily because it has a 7x optical zoom and 8MP resolution. But I can't find any info on whether the A200 is supported by iPhoto 5. I've checked Apple's iPhoto compatibility website and it's not listed (but the Konica Minolta Dimage A2 is!) and all I can find on Konica's website is that it's supported by Mac OS 10.1 - 10.3. 10.4 isn't mentioned and iPhoto isn't mentioned.
Anybody have any experience with the A200 and iPhoto? Alternatively, can anybody recommend an alternative camera that is fully supported on the Mac. My main requirements are: optical zoom (at least 7x), resolution (at least 5MP) and build quality.
I have a G5 iMac running Mac OS 10.4.2 and iPhoto 5.0.4
Thanks,
Stuart

Hi all,
I contacted Konica Minolta tech support and they confirmed that the A200 is supported under Tiger (10.4) and should also work with iPhoto. Here's the email I received:
"The camera will work on OS Tiger but we cannot comment on iPhoto as it is not one we have tested it on however we provide software called DiMAGE Viewer which will work with the camera. We have many customers using the camera with Tiger with no issues."
I then found the following Mac OS compatibility info on Konica's tech support site:
http://www.konicaminoltaphotoworld.com/kmsupport.com/Compatibility.3036.0.html?& L=0#).
To summarise, Konica state that Mac OS 10.1 - 10.3 are fully supported and limited testing has shown that 10.4 works as well. There's no mention of iPhoto compatibility. The document also mentions possible file corruption for transfers over 10 mins and issues with date and time info not being transferred to the Mac. I thought these were a tad worrying so I sent a follow-up email to Konica tech support. Here's the reply I received:
"It should work fine with Iphoto.The information regarding MAC OS X.
There can be corruptions with transfers of over 10mins but not necessarily and therefore it is recommend to split transfers and also the data and time may not be transferred correctly and these I am afraid are issues which should be resolved when newer DiMAGE Software is released, however they might not occur at all and is only a precaution."
So... it's all a bit vague. Seems like it will definitely work with OS 10.4 but you might get some of the problems mentioned above... and then again you might not! Also, in the above reply, Konica mention that these issues should be fixed in a new version of their DiMAGE software. So maybe these issues don't occur if you just use iPhoto? Who knows....
I'm still trying to decide whether the A200 is the camera for me.
Cheers,
Stuart

Have an old Minolta Dimage Scan Duel

Am wondering if there is any way that I can use it on my intel iMac using OS 10.5.6? I know about the adapter from SCSI to Firewire and have a software application that works. but am not certain if the first generation of this scanner will work even with all that available.
Does ANYONE know?

Not yet. Been hesitant to try it. The last time I tried it with a different configuration it failed. That time I had a scsi and a G4 tower, and the same software. So I am looking for more input before I try it. Don't have the scsi adapter yet.

Dimage Scan Elite 5400 problem

My father has a Minolta Dimage Scan Elite 5400, bought while he still used Windows XP. He now has an iMac running OS X 10.6.6 but is unable to achieve decent scans of negatives. They all turn out with awful colours, strange dark banding and other weird effects. However, when I connect the same scanner to my Macbook, also running OS X 10.6.6 (having installed the same Minolta software) I am able to get first class scans. This is rather perplexing. Does anyone know why this might be? Both machines are running the same version of OS X and the same scanning software. The only difference (apart from mine being a notebook and dad's being a desktop) is the amount of other pro imaging software he has installed; namely Adobe Photoshop CS4 Design Premium and Epson scanning software. Could there be some conflict going on there? Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated. Cheers.

You can try to download the software from the
following site:
http://ca.konicaminolta.com/support/americas/scanners/
dimage-scanners/dimage-scanelite54002/softwaredriver
s/drivers/ver102_mac.html
However, if this software does not resolve your issue
you are probably out of luck seeing as this product
has been discontinued. Which means it is unlikely
they will update the software/drivers for this
product.
I believe that 3rd party software, such as Vuescan and Softimage will work with the Dimage. If that is the case I think there may be a 3rd party driver that I don't know about.

Dropped and smashed my Minolta A1 back up camera, I now have a Minolta Dimage A200 as a back up. Aperture

Dropped & smashed my "Konica Minolta Dimage A1" back up camera. I replaced/upgraded it with the later model "Konica Minolta Dimage A200" shortly before Konica Minolta stopped making cameras. Both "IPhoto" & "Aperture 3" accept RAW images from the 'Dimage A1 & A2 models. Will my Mac accept RAW images from the ' Dimage A200"?

You'd get better response if you posted this to the Aperture group. I'll see if the hosts can move it.
But basically if your camera is listed here http://http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html it's supported by Aperture.

Has anyone successfully set up scan to smb to mac os 10.7.x from a Konica Minolta bizhub

Has anyone successfully set up scan to smb to mac os 10.7.x from a Konica Minolta bizhub. I'm using 10.7.3 on MacBook Pro. Don't care what model bizhub is being used as I have access to many. I've seen the posts for FTP workarounds but want to use SMB if that is an option. Any suggestions? Thank you!

I've read other discussions that have suggested changing the format of the username and password when having login problems. I'm not familiar with NT-Status Codes. Could changing the format of the username make any difference? Something like... "workgroup/username" or "username@domain" or "domain/username" or some other combination of workgroup, domain, username, computername.
The issue has nothing to do with the format of the user authentication. What you are reading is about the Lion Mac connecting to a Windows computer that is part of domain or workgroup. The method changed slightly compared to Snow Leopard.
KM does support FTP so that is still an option, but I would ideally would like to set up SMB scanning. I'm not sure if KM is going to support AFP anytime soon.
With the lack of SMB support and KM offering no alternative at this stage then I suggest you look at using FTP. While Lion removed the option to enable FTP via the Sharing pane in System Preferences, it can still be enabled via Terminal using the following command
sudo -s launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist
You will be prompted to authenticate using your Mac's admin account & password. Once this is done, you can then configure the address on the copier to push scan using FTP. The keys are;
The host name requires just the IP address. No leading slashes like SMB
The path will be the folder that you want to scan to, also entered without a leading slash. For example, Desktop
The user name will be the short name of the account who's folder you want to scan to.
The only other option may be WebDAV if the KM supports it. We have this with our imageRUNNER ADVANCE and with a document scanned to a shared folder in the copier hard drive, we can then connect to that folder by using Finder's > Go > Connect to Server facility. You then just enter
http://ipaddress/share
which connects you to the shared folder and lets you see the document you scanned. You also have the facility to set subfolders for security of users documents.

Konica Minolta page pro 1350w printing issue

I have a mac book and recently acquired an old printer from Konica Minolta (page pro 1350w). Since the printer is only windows compatible and I am looking Mac compatible driver for this printer. I also acquired 2 new toner cartridge for this so I want to use this printer.
Can anyone help?
PS. If Matt Broughton can see this message, would you please post the driver package that you posted here back in 2006 one more time? I saw your postings but the link to download the driver package for konica minolta printers is not working any more.
Thank you in advance and I will really appreciate your help.

You are the greatest! I was having trouble too and tried so many different things (I hope I didn't mess anything up in the process - knock on wood) to get this running and your link made it work. There was a site that had me downloading usbtb, some X Developer program, and finally I found your link and voila! thank you!

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium will not copy or scan.

Hello,
I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium that prints just fine however it will not copy or scan. When I attempt to copy a document it displays Starting Copy... on the printer but will not copy and must be turned off and on to use the printer again. When I attempt to scan it brings up an error box telling me to check all of my network connections.
I have already tried the services.msi fix and have ran hp printer and scannor doctor tool to attempt to fix my problem.
In the services.msi I found that all services dependant on (WIA) were already running and set to automatic.
The scan doctor found that It wasn't communicating with the drivers, which I then reinstalled, and restarted the computer. It then continued to have problems with the drivers and asked me to contact support.
Thank you for your time.
edit: The printer is also running the latest firmware and I have also checked my anti-virus firewall so that it is allowing the printer through network. (note: in attempt to fix the issue i have both a usb and network connection trying to get either connection to work).

Hi-
To make sure I understand this correctly, you are unable to do a copy at the device itself? This should function without the device being connected to a PC at all. if this is indeed the case, it sounds as if this is a hardware issue. I would then check with HP support on your product for warranty repair.
I am an HP employee, however, this content reflects my personal opinion and is in no way associated with HP.

I am trying to connect my macbook pro to a konica minolta magicolor 1690MF

I am trying to connect my macbook pro to a konica minolta magicolor 1690MF printer/scanner. I tried to download drive software from the konica website, but I still can't add the printer to my system.

Depends on your model TV. Read your TV user manual. The newer models have "how to hookup" instructions for computer & games.
You can also do a forum search as well as a Google search.

Scan multi-page less convenient in Acrobat Pro 8

Scanning a multi-page document is less convenient in Acrobat Pro 8.
In prior versions when a page had been scanned a dialog box was presented in which the user could simply press Return or Enter to scan another page, or Escape if there were no more pages to scan.
However, in ver. 8, the new dialog box defaults to "no more pages to scan" and if you nee to scan additional pages you have to reach for the mouse and click an alternate radio button, then click another button to scan the additional page(s). Quite a bit more movement required than before.
I realize this is a relatively minor issue, but it's annoying when scanning multi-page documents.

Konica Minolta Magicolor

I did not see these on the list: Does anyone know whether the Konica Minolta Magicolor 2430DL printer is compatible with Airport Express? Same question for the Konica Minolta Magicolor 2550 DN. Thanks.

the installation went fine but in the Systemproperties I only see the printing function for the device. The second button for scanning isn't there.
You will only get the Scan button if KM supplied an ICA driver. If their driver is TWAIN-based, then you will need to use an application like Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro to scan with. Or KM may have their own scanning application.
If the scanner driver is ICA based, then try opening Image Capture. If the KM is networked, it will appear under the heading of Shared and selecting it will either work or you will get an error about the lack of driver, thus confirming that the scanner driver is not ICA-based.

Minolta DiMAGE A200 support broke with Camera Raw 2.1

Hi,
I am new to this forum, but I hope someone can help.
Using Aperture since 1.5 with a couple of cameras I started with my Minolta DiMAGE A200. Unfortunately this camera was not supported by Aperture, but the identical A2.
Of course there was a trick to bring A200 Raw support to Apple by editing Raw.plist . This worked perfectly (since the RAW files are identical for A200 and A2).
With Camera Raw update 2.2 onwards this trick does not work anymore. The syntax and I also think the OS internal handling of Raw files did change. Worse, Mac OSX 10.5.6 seems to need Camera Raw >2.1 . So staying with the old Camera Raw package does not work.
Of course I don´t want to blame Apple for breaking a hack, but since the beginning I never understood, why Apple does not support a identical camera model!
Has anybody similar issues or a hint how to proceed? (without going to .dng)
Best regards
Joe
