Hardware :: Photo Scanner Get Old Photos Onto Macbook
Mar 24, 2009
I'm looking to buy a photo scanner to get some old photos onto my MacBook. I don't want to spend a fortune but would like to get the best for my money (upto �100) also scanning negatives would probably be good. I have seen the Epson V300 in my price range,can anyone recommend anything?
This is my first post to peripherals (I'm usually at the Apple TV Forums)--and I was wondering if anyone knows of a decent, dedicated photo scanner that's Mac compatible. Hammacher has one that is a good example of what I'm looking for [URL] but their specs say that it requires Windoze XP or Vista. Is there such a thing for the Mac? I'd like to avoid a flatbed scanner, not to mention creating a Windows partition just for my photo scanning project, if at all possible.
I have an iMac with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and am running Mac OS X 10.7.3. My Epson Perfection V700 Photo Scanner worked great with Snow Lepord but now does not work with Lion. I downloaded the driver for Mac OS X 10.7 but I continue to get the message "Cannot communicate with the scanner. Make sure the scanner is on, correctly setup and connected with no errors in the scanner. If using an SCSI connection, restart your computer."
I have connected the scanner with USB and then with Fire wire and then both. I have deleted and redownloaded the driver files. I could not get communication. Can anyone help. The scanner and iMac are too large to drag to a genius bar.
Is there such a scanner that you can set in say 500 or so pics and then it will automatically feed and scan your pics, while you are away at work for instance? If so, that would be worth its weight in gold I would say. Any links to such a device would be nice and/or reviews of such a device if it exists.
I try to quit iPhoto and the massage keep saying "Photos are being imported to the photo library" even there is no iPhone or iPad connected. The problem still remind for 3 days and cannot force quit or any option to close the program.
when i attempt to attach a photo to an email thru I photo is there a way to change the size of the attachment /photo for all outgoing mail ? I looked in I-photo preferences and didn't find any thing ? sorry I'm old and this is all very confusing to me
When I email myself a photo from my iphone to my gmail or me account. The photos all append themselves with photo.jpg. I get photos from friends and it's the same issue. How do i correct this? Is it suppose to be like this?
I seem to having a problem with Photo Booth thats kinda weird. I take pictures with Photo Booth, but once they are taken they dont show up in the little row on the bottom. They are in the folder in Finder, but they don't show up so I can view them in-program. Just an odd thing I thought I would see if anyone has a fix for.Nothing major, just a minor annoyance.
So, my problem is very simple. I like organizing my things by tagging them. I like photos. I have a lot of photos that I took in 2 different external drivers. I can't combine those two. I can't put all of my pictures in my laptop. I want to organize those pictures. I want to put an driver in my usb and the app/software just organizes the pictures from that driver, than, when I plug in another driver, I want the pictures from the last driver out and the pictures from the connected driver in.
I take pictures with my iPhone 4s and they go to my iPad just great but I only get about 50% of them to my MacBook Pro. They are radomly not there. There will be five or six that are there then 5 or 6 that are black no photo. All the warythrough the 200 photos I took on my latest trip? Is there any reason for this random messing up of photos? Is there anyway of getting them on the MacBook short of syncing my iPhone 4s through iPhoto? I am not liking this Photo Stream right now to many missing photos.
It was good that Apple added the much needed "Delte" Featuer to Photo Stream. The next issue that came a long for me is: Photo Stream still saves all photos I take into my iPhoto library.
So, even though I choose "Delte" in Photo Stream there is still a copy saved in my iPhoto library.
Usually it creates an event and names it "May '12 Photo Stream" or something similar.
Then I again have to go into this event and delte the photos a second time.
Is there a way to disable this feature?
I would like to manually add photos from Photo Stream to my library.
I wanted to free up space and stop the hundreds of pictures from automatically transferring to my moblie devies, so I thought I'll go ahead and reset photo stream, but I when I try to, I keep getting this error: "Could not reset your photo stream."Your photo stream could not be reset at this time due to a server error. Try again later."
Anytime I try to use Aperture to Import my photos from the Iphone to a folder in my Mac, Aperture will import some photos to the folder I Chose, but other go only to the iCloud Photo Stream...
I have just tried to import only I few photos from the camera Roll, and it imported as it should, but when I chose to delete the photos from the camera roll it deleted all the photos...
I am using Aperture. Photos taken with my Ipad are downloaded through iCloud to my MBP. They used to be transferred automatically to a Photo Stream project and associated to a month. This stopped working. Everything is checked ok in the Aperture preferences...
Any free software available for stitching several individual photos into one panorama photo. Windows has one that works terrific but cannot find any for OS X or in I Photo 2009.
How do I change where photos are saved from photo stream? Right now when they are just in iphoto I cant access them when i go to upload a photo to email/blog/fb. I want them to be more easily accessible for upload automatically, like go into a folder rather than the iphoto app in the Pictures folder.
I just got a new macbook and I want to get all the pictures from my phone to iPhoto. On my iPhone are all my iPhoto events and I can't figure out how to transfer them. I know how to tranfer each new picture I take, but not the older ones. How can I do this?
I recently attempted to upload photos to my photobiz site with no success. I tried the steps on the photobiz site but they did ont work. I can not scroll down to read thefags page when on the site either. I had to use my pc to open the site and work. I have also opened a trouble ticket on the site to see if they could offer any assistance.
I've taken a load of photos on my phone and have placed them in an album within my photo stream, they are now showing up on my iPad but not on my mac which is where i really want them. I've tried turning the wifi on and off again, I've tried turn the devices off and on again. nothing is working! all i want is my work backed up.
When I open a photo with Preview, it opens all the photos I have viewed previously. How can I prevent that, other than manually clearing the list after each time?
how to get the scanner on a Canon MP800 scanner/printer to scan with Lion software. I've installed the Canon Version 3.0.4 driver but it still doesn't work.
Info: iMac (24-inch Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
I have a HP Photosmart B110 printer/scanner and I'm running OSX 10.7 Lion, I have no dramas printing but the scanner is not recognised.If I go to System preferences> Print & Scan, it shows the printer but won't show the scanner!! I obviously want and need to use the scanner but am unable!
I need some sort of free program to take two pictures and put them side by side. It's a one time deal so I don't want to pay for it, I just have images of artwork and their respective placards that I'd like to be able to put side by side as one image so it's easier to follow. I know it sounds basic and probably dumb but I literally have zero experience with photo applications.
For no reason my photo booth comes up with a camera with a line through it (Like no smoking signs) and the button won't work to take photos. I have run utilities and closed all other software but it still won't respond?
Info: I Mac, Mac OS X (10.5.8), Canon 3 in one printer
