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

you can get free driver for your device from www.brotersoft.com

http://port-64-1952021-da120383www002.devices.datareturn.com/store/driverAlert.asp you can download driver from this link

What OS does your new laptop have? In this case, the version matters. Do you have the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the OS? (I assume you have Windows with a Dell, then click Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System to get the OS and version. A 64- bit OS will have an x64 after the version.)

Nikon does not support the 64-bit OS's.

The files below are for the USB or parallel port Nikon Scanners.

If you have Windows 98SE - XP, download the driver from http://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16452 . Scroll down to the I Agree button. Then download the update to version 4.02 from here: http://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16453 . Install the files in order. (Download and run; double click on the file in the Download manager or on the desktop (or folder where the program was saved).)

If you have Windows Vista, download the software from http://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14463 . Again scroll to the I Agree button. You will need to accept the changes to the computer when the UAC pops up (or under).

See below for Windows 7.

Most manuals are available in a PDF format. To get the latest version of Adobe Reader, go to http://www.adobe.com . Click on the link to download Adobe Reader. (It's on the right hand side of the page below the Special sales offers. Alternatively, go to http://www.adobe.com/go/EN_US-H-GET-READER (in the US). The current version is Adobe Reader X (10.0.1). There is a download and install option. You may need to give an ActiveX permission to start the download with IE. With Vista or Windows 7, you will need to accept the installation making changes to your hard drive (possibly twice) in the UAC.

If you have Windows 7 32-bit, the Vista file may work on your computer. You need to use the compatibility mode. After downloading the file, right click on the installer. Then choose Properties and then the Compatibility tab. Turn on Run program as Compatible with the appropriate OS. Then right click again on the installer and choose Run as Administrator. Then check if the program itself is running in the compatibility mode by right clicking again and choosing Properties. However, Nikon says they do not support any version of Windows 7 even in the compatibility mode. If it doesn't work, see the 64-bit workaround below.

If you have a 64-bit OS, you need to use a workaround. This means you use a computer (virtual, dual-boot, or true second machine) with an older version of Windows installed. If you have Win7 Pro or Ultimate, you can create a virtual XP computer for free. Download and install Virtual PC and XP mode from Microsoft. Install them in order. Then install the XP software from the above site in the virtual computer and it will work. (Other virtual computer programs are Parallels and VMWare.) All of the other options will require a licensed version of the older Windows OS. Please note that the virtual computer can't share files directly with the main computer. You'll need to save files to external or removable media (optical media or flash drive, for example) to share them. Additionally your printer can only be installed on the real or the virtual computer at any given time. You will be asked to uninstall if you try to install it to the virtual computer when it is installed on the real machine.

I hope this helps.

What you describe is typical of processor instability. This scanner has a powerful custom image processor inside it that is powered from an dedicated power source and it requires a good cooling.
So either the internal power source has aged and is no longer capable of delivering the necessary current or the cooling of the processor is not good enough anymore so it overheats. It has nothing to do with the way you are trying to operate, in both cases it's a hardware fault.
To find out which the scanner must be opened, its interior thoroughly cleaned and the voltage delivered by the power source measured very precisely. You will also have to investigate the status of the other components on the mainboard. All of this requires at least a basic experience with this kind of stuff. If you have never tinkered with electronics before then it's time to take it to a repair shop.

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.

That problem usually occurs when the ASPI Layer driver has not been installed, or when scanner operation is attempted on a 64-bit OS.

Try upgrading to v4.02 driver. You may need to download 4.0 first as 4.02 may only upgrade from 4.0. The scanner runs with v4.02 on my Mackbook pro but I can only scan using the slide adapter and the film holder at present. The film adapter will not work but i'm not sure if this is a hardware or software problem.

Jponzo, have exactly the same problem, for what that's worth.

First, computer cables are versatile resources provided on the retail market. Ascertain the computer ports that make possible predetermination expectation of what to acquire at retail. For example, the components that comprise a computer as a peripheral have versitile functionalities. The componets within the devices motherboard require verification to atttain compartible parts that would perform similar to manufctures default. Refer to the computer brand, models also with details that would make possible acquirng the most comparible parts at retail markets. usually with faults that occur to computers, refering to support experts would hav the means to resolve with component parts within resourceful attainment.

The lubricant has become sticky and is acting more like adhesive than lubricant. This is the most common cause of malfunction in the LS-2000 and LS-30 scanners. It's a quite curable condition. Nikon LS-2000 and LS-30 film scanner service and repair is available. Check seller pjferrante2 on eBay. Scanner performance backed for 12 months. Very reasonable price.

hello

you can download the manual from the following link

please don't forget to appreciate the solution..

Thanks.

Poke around the CNET site for all scanner drivers for Mac or Winhttp://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=nikon+coolscan+iv+ed+software&platformSelect=Windows&tag=srch&searchtype=downloads&filterName=platform%3DWindows&filter=platform%3DWindows

This sounds like a "homework" assignment.

An electrostatic printer puts electrical charges onto a drum.
Then, dry "powder" ink is put onto the drum.
The ink sticks only to the charged points.
A piece of paper is rolled against the drum.
The "fuser" heats the paper, and melts the ink into the paper, permanently "fixing" onto the paper.

An ink-jet printer shoots microscopic drops of wet, heated, ink onto the paper.
The ink dries into the paper.

I use the same scanner. I heard Nikon was working on compatibilty with windows 7. They done it for vista but 32bit only. I would recommmend using Silverfast software. They have the comp. drivers for 32 and 64 bit windows 7. But it comes with a someone hefty price. I just looked on there site and its $398.00. It is a good software but pricey.

ours camera is not working

Try this web site, they have just about anything like this you would need, give them a call or email them.

I had the same problem with coolscan LS 50 ed, but the chromatic dominant was blue instead. What you have to do is to perform a p.o.s.t. procedure: 1) swith off the scanner and unplug it from the PC; 2) switch off the PC; 3) remove the film-holder from the scanner; 4) switch on the scanner; 6) plug it back to the PC; 7) switch on the PC; 8) insert the slide/film holder. It should work now...

the resolution is 2900 dpi. Do you need any additional information?

Mac will not accept this programming for they have no updated material for this model camera as of now. All I can tell you is to wait until they do from the Nikon company. You can email to Nikon and ask when the will have it available
