chrism Posted October 5, 2015 Share #1 Posted October 5, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Anyone nervous about upgrading to 10.11 might like to know that: 1. Flexcolor and a Flextight X1 scanner work just as normal, with an Apple FW400 to FW800 cable plugged into a FW to Thunderbolt adaptor. 2. Vuescan (which seems to have an update every time I open it; not sure if any are specific to El Capitan) continues to work fine with a Nikon 9000 and a Konica Minolta 5400 II. The Nikon uses a FW400 cable plugged into a FW400 to FW800 adaptor, itself plugged into a FW to Thunderbolt adaptor, and the KM5400 is a simple USB connection. 3. The Epson V850 did require a new software download from Epson, and it initially wouldn't open. It showed a dialog saying my scanner was linked to Image Capture (it never has been) and did I want to use it with TWAIN? The trick is to say yes to this - I had clicked on No the first few times thinking TWAIN was a plug-in for use with PS and the like. Well, Epson Scan must use it too. After saying Yes I have had no problems. Vuescan can also see and control the V850. Chris 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macsimal Posted October 11, 2015 Share #4 Posted October 11, 2015 I got Problems with SilverFast 8.5 and Quato Intelliscan 5000. After a Previewscan you got the Message "unknown Error". At the Moment 10.11. is not officially supported from Lasersoft. Kind Regards Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxip Posted October 28, 2015 Share #5 Posted October 28, 2015 I just want to open a thread like this! Reflecta ProScan 7200 won't work with the latest VueScan / Cyberview and 10.11.X. Just got a bunch on fresh contacts + negatives in the mail and now this... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxip Posted October 29, 2015 Share #6 Posted October 29, 2015 *Update* I just called Reflecta: they told me they are currently testing drivers / CyberView for Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan). If everything works fine they plan to release the update for El Capitan till the end of next week! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbealnz Posted October 29, 2015 Share #7 Posted October 29, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I normally suffer with updates, but bit the bullet and did it anyway. No problems, Minolta 5400 II, and Vuescan, works like a charm. Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitz Posted October 29, 2015 Share #8 Posted October 29, 2015 Did you ask Reflecta why they didn't update their software based on the El Capitan betas that had been out since mid-summer? Also did you tell Reflecta that 10.11 is not the latest release and that they should be testing with 10.11.1 and with 10.11.2 beta? Is Lasersoft going to stop selling its products? i.e. since they apparently don't intend to keep up with OS changes, they must no longer be in the software business. I'll give all these companies a clue. Next October OS X 10.12 will come out. Maybe they should plan ahead. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfdann Posted November 4, 2015 Share #9 Posted November 4, 2015 I am really interested in this topic I am preparing to return to some film shooting with my M7 and reactivating my Minolta 5400. Need to get VueScan to use with my MacBook Pro. Awaiting batteries for M7 and film mailer from THE DARKROOM. DFDANN Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramarren Posted November 4, 2015 Share #10 Posted November 4, 2015 No problems driving the Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 or Coolscan V, Epson 2450, or HP EZ710 Multifunction printer/scanner/etc with Image Capture or VueScan, latest version.

maxip Posted November 8, 2015 Share #11 Posted November 8, 2015 *Update* Reflecta sent me their version of CyberView. It it is currently in beta stadium. But - it works!!! With a few bugs - and not so strong performance. Specially with the latest VueScan. Max. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 38 Posted December 10, 2015 Share #12 Posted December 10, 2015 Perhaps some one can explain a bit about scanners to me . I have a Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 which is good. It used to work with my Mac Book Pro when it ran Snow Leopard 10;6.8 . Then earlier this year the graphics card failed and I had a new one fitted . The repairer offered to install Maverics 10.9.5 which I foolishly agreed to , after he assured me everything wold work . I should have known better having changed other operating systems. At the moment my Nikon scanner only works with my other Gateway laptop running Windows Vista . I have heard the Vue Scan is good and can handle almost any scanner . If I installed Vue Scan would that let me use my Nikon Scanner with Maverics 10.9.5 ? I do not want to buy something that does not work. I also have an Epson scanner which does not work with my Mac Book , would Vue Scan do the trick ? Any help or advice would be appreciated , thanks.

gbealnz Posted December 10, 2015 Share #13 Posted December 10, 2015 Hugh. I'd check first on the Vuescan page, and then if in doubt e mail the man at Vuescan, Ed I think his name is. I had a similar connundrum a while back, an "old" Minolta 5400 II scanner, and the latest OSX. I was assured it would work, and it did/does, I am very happy. Plus, try his site, there is a trial version freely available. I tried it, ensured all worked, then paid, a real good way to do things I reckon.

graphlex Posted December 10, 2015 Share #14 Posted December 10, 2015 My KM 5400 works fine with Silverfast 8.5 under El Capitan. I don't expect any problems with the new SF 8.8. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbealnz Posted December 10, 2015 Share #15 Posted December 10, 2015 Unfortunately my KM5400 is a model 2, so KM5400 II. Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something of a voyage of discovery after PC use since pre-Windows days and the same scanner problem arose when I installed my V700. Luckily I clicked on yes for Twain second time of asking and the scanner works fine with the Epson Scan software - phew. Have changed to Mac versions of CCloud/LR/PS + Nik Collection (SEfexPro etc) and Perfect Effects Suite - all running well although lots of new keyboard shortcuts to learn!

chrism Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share #17 Posted January 4, 2016 As I like to recommend cheap scanners and keep a Pacific Image/Prime Film 3650u around, I got around to trying it with El Capitan. Usually Vuescan can see it and work with it, but no dice at all. The version of Cyberview X that is available at scanace.com will not run either so I couldn't update the firmware. In less that 24 hours I had a helpful reply from Prime Film with a link to a beta of Cyberview X that let me update the firmware and now the 3650u runs happily with Vuescan again. Evidently they didn't manage to keep to the release schedule mentioned by maxip above, but they are responsive and the scanner works. I can't complain. Were I the complaining sort, I'd mention that Flexcolor is currently 4½ years old and I'm amazed that it still works with all the Mac OS changes since then!

bruniroquai Posted April 22, 2016 Share #19 Posted April 22, 2016 I cannot use VueScan with El Capital and my Reflecta 7200, any suggestion, please?Bruno Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbealnz Posted April 22, 2016 Share #20 Posted April 22, 2016 That surprises me Bruno, I always thought Viewscan would work with virtually anything. I'd certainly try a note to the guy that supplies it, Ed, and ask, I have found him very approachable. Is your model here? https://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/reflecta.html Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
