I've been a supporter of Nikon for years and years and spent tens of thousands of dollars on Nikon gear.

It's better on 10.6 than it was on 10.4 and XP.ĭon't ask me why this works and using the downloaded software from the Nikon site did not work for me on the LS4000 but so far so good. Sure there are the normal crashes you expect of Nikon software, but it will still runs 90% of the time for days at a stretch, scanning 12 16bit images at a time. I then went directly to the NX 4.02 upgrade from the CD.Īnd guess what. The 4.0 installer choked on the last section and I cancelled it. So of course I installed the Mac version of the Nikonscan 4 software on 10.6 just in case. Part of the reason for the changeover was that I had hoped to run the 9000 with a USB cable in parallels. Because I have Snow Leopard 10.6.3 I was running the LS4000 on XP in bootcamp. Panicked by Nikon's decision to abandon film scanners, I recently bought a new 9000 LS from H-K and sold my trusty LS4000. plist files, empty the trash and install NS 4.0 and see what happens. Iwould suggest that you simply delete all Nikon Scan files including any. I am at the point of "if it ain't broke don't fix it" in terms of trying upgrading to NS 4.02.įor all I know it is a problem with 4.02 and just a matter of simply running NS 4.0. I should also mention that although I run NS 4.02 under 10.4.x I was incorrect in stating I run NS 4.02 under Leopard.

I would then empty the trash and redownload a fresh copy of Nikon Scan and try again. I think what kept me experimenting were sporadic reports from other people who were running Nikon Scan just fine.Īs I recall after every failure I removed all NS associated software, including any Nikon Scan associated. Normally I keep good records of any twiddling I do, however, the outlook appeared so bleak and I tried so many things to get NS running with 10.5.x that I can't tell you waht i did, exactly. I also have an older G4 Powerbook I keep 10.4.x on just in case for NS.
