Nikon LS - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support - Page 7

I inserted my negative holder in backwards on my Nikon 5000 35 mm scanner. Then I could get the last (5th) slide scanned. But I can not get the scanner to work on my new IMac because of no working driver. Silver Fast has no drivers for the Nikon 5000

I had the same problem. You must remove the cover on the scanner. The reading unit shuld be moving on two metalleaders. It was the oil on them that was dry so i had some oil on and helpt it moving with my finger. Now its working again!

Good luck! Bjarne

to reasign it it would take about 4 hours to do so your best choice is to take to someone.

please help me where could i download epson me 32 free resetter

You apparently updated your Mac and the update does not work with your Scan-software.Uninstall the software and remove everything that has to do with the scanner --- and reinstall the scan software.

Hi,
You should do what the unit and nikon recommends and that is having the unit serviced. You can start the repair process here:

That is what I recommend. If you have any other questions or need further assistance please let me know.
Thank you,

Maybe this refer also the hardware faulures on a nikon 5000ED. I managed to repair them my self after being mischarged a couple of times at NIkon repair centre. Please see some solutions I added onwww.scancare.nl/scanner.htmlDifferent problems regarding a nikon 5000ed were shown.regardsAndries Bos, www.scancare.nl

1) switch off the scanner
2) swithc off the PC
3) disconnect scanner from PC
5) remove the dia/film adapter
6) switch on tyhe scanner and wait untill it booted
7)insert the film/dia adapter
8) connect scanner and PC
9) switch on the PC
it should work now......

Try these procedures.

Remove and reconnect the USB printer cable, make sure it is plugged in firmly.Try a different printer cable.Re-install the printer driver.

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use iPhoto or any other photo cataloging program.

You've not said what the message is but I suspect that the software is too old to be used on the macbook if it is running OS X 10.7 (Lion) or if you are running snow leopard, it may be a non-intel version of the software. It may be asking you to instal rosetta which would be on your snow leopard instal disk. If the Nikon website does not have updated software you could try vuescan which according to this page http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/nikon_coolscan_iv_ed.html does work with the film scanner and you can download a demo version which you can trial before you buy. Hope this helps.
