I can't get my Mac to recognize my Nikon S610. I"m running Snow Leopard. the camera never shows up as in the devices area.

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.

Hello,

I take it your upgraded from 10.5 to snow leopard.

There has been issues with Snow Leopard and printers and Devices such as these.

what you can do is go back down to 10.5 make sure all the drivers are installed for the modem and then upgrade again. Say that does not work for you then it would confirm a fact that there is no Snow Leopard compatibility with this modem.

you can also try these steps that are in this video:

The Credit goes to the author of the video but should help as well.

Hi,
Shortly after the world started upgrading to Snow Leopard, reports began emerging that many Hewlett-Packard printers were incompatible with the upgrade. So, you can wait till you get the updated driver which is compatible with Mac Snow leopard.
Good Luck!

Problem: dust in the gaps near lens which makes it jammed. Effect: the sceen shows blk color. Solution: just blow over it or vaccum it.

You're not going to be happy with this answer:

Nikon has formally sworn off doing ANY future software updates for their scanners. They stopped at 10.4 (pre-Leopard)

Yes, there are a LOT of people VERY unhappy with this answer, but we're all kind of stuck with it.

I have successfully downloaded NikonScan 4.2 on my MacPro running Snow Leopard (10.6.6) and my Nikon LS8000ED seems to work fine. I ran a test scan and it worked with no problem.

You should give Test Disk a try. It's a little complicated at first but if you read the tutorial it's easy.

Here's a link to their wiki page.

Snow Leopard has a bunch of drivers built in to control various printers.  If it doesn't recognize the printer, then you will have to go on Agfa's web site to see if they have a printer driver compatible with Snow Leopard.  Keep in mind that Snow Leopard is a new OS and that printer manufacturers will take some time to update their programs and drivers to run on it.  If you don't find a driver then, you got to use a different printer or downgrade your OS to one that will run the printer.

CCD FAILURE !

Pls rate me WELL !

What operating system is on the G4? You can check by pressing the apple symbol (top left on the menu bar) and choosing About this Mac…
You might need a driver (if it is an older OS) to help it talk to the camera. This will be a free download from Nikon.
