Nikon Scan 4.0.2 Fix for MAC OSX (Leopard)

[MPerson]

Advertisement (gone after registration)

A few of us have had problems getting Nikon Scan to run on Mac OSX Leopard. I have not been able to get it to run on my two new iMacs since I got them in November and Vuescan just drives me bloody nuts.

 

I have received info on how to get it to run and it worked for me.

 

===========================================================

 

"Thank you for contacting Nikon Technical Support.

 

Other users seem to be running the application fine under Mac OS 10.5 and so the program may simply need to be reinstalled.

 

Two methods but Method 1 should resolve the problem. To un-install NikonScan you will need to put the CD back into the drive.

 

Method 1

 

When the install program comes up we want to go to the custom install menu and select just the NikonScan program.

 

Now click on install.

 

In the new window there will be a drop-down menu in the upper left - choose un-install from this and then click on the un-install button at the bottom.

 

When that finishes we can quit out of the install program.

 

Next Trash the preferences, we want to click on Go - Home.

 

Now navigate to Library - Preferences and delete any Nikon Scan files/folders located there.

 

Next empty your trash and restart your Mac.

 

Now please reinstall the software and after a reboot try it again and see if that works.

 

 

Method 2

 

If it does not please uninstall it once again following the same steps and then try creating a new Admin account and installing the software into the new account.

 

Click on the Apple Menu

 

Click on System Preferences

 

Click on the Accounts

 

Right below Login Options you should see a + and -

 

To create a new account click on the + sign.

 

Then fill in all the information, including assigning a picture and ensuring it has full Admin rights.

 

Once everything is filled out click on one of the existing accounts, this well save the account you just created.

 

Now we want to log out of your current account and into the new account.

Install the software and give it a shot."

 

===========================================================

 

Method 1 worked just fine for me.

Hello!

 

I was in you situation yesterday, my Mac has worked fine until now with nikon 5000 ES, but not when I tried to use it yesterday..

Thanks to your advise I was able to fix it.

Thank you for this. Just had to use this and it worked. MAcbook 10.6.8, Nikon coolscan 5000ed

 

However I also updated to 4.0.2. but when I check the 'About Nikon scan' button it only says 'Version 4.0.0 en' instead of 4.0.2. Is this normal or did the updating go wrong.

 

How can I check if the update is running?

Since Mac OS X Leopard is again available, is it possible to install it as another operating system (sandbox) on OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion in order to return to Nikon ScanView?
