docphoto, thank you for these. In our family my daughter is a police officer, son in law a police officer, son in law a paramedic and grandson a firefighter. Your pictures go a long way in depicting the intensity of their profession.

Color Munki works well with Mac OS 10.7.4 on my 21" iMac

Thank you for the feedback.

I recommend the XRite Color Munki. Easy to calibrate your monitor. You don't calibrate your printer but you create a color profile for the different papers you use.


David, I know you use a lot of different Apple products, would the Color Munki be effective on my IMac 27" screen?

We all will have to backup our backups when CD/DVD are no longer available to be read by newer tech stuff. reminds one of VHS tapes I still have a player/recorder in a box in the basement.


Or the box of 8mm movies I inherited which contains my childhood that I can't see. No one in the family seems to know where the projector went through the years. :?

Hi

I have a bunch of Kodak discs, too. They all work just fine using the $1.00 + P&H floppy drive from ebay. Just open the picture files, don't worry about the 'program' on the disc. Any program you have, now, even Picasa, is better than that program! Keep in mind that the files are tiny! Don't expect to make a print much larger than 4 x 6". They should be OK for a slide show, or for email or FB - and of course for memories (cue that song from "Cats")

Good luck

Thank you for the encouragement. Using a Mac can present strange problems sometimes. I did expect small files, but It's killing me not knowing what is on them. I just don't remember. I'm excited now that this might happen.

As long as your computer recognizes the drive (doesn't always happen) you should be fine. In all probability the image software is just a free viewer that was included on the disk and should not affect your photo retrieval.


Time will tell. Lesson learned as far as backup and storage goes.
Will keep you updated.

find someone with a pc/laptop who can still read the disks and have them copy them over to a thumb drive. if they were written with a mac computer you need someone with an old Mac or a mac external floppy drive that's usb capable.

Thank you all for your help and tips. I have a drive coming from Tiger Direct. Will try it on all the varied computers in the house. If all else fails will take one over to the computer angels at the local computer shop (Right Click) and if nothing else I will give them yet another chuckle by walking in the door.
Posted pics of what I'm dealing with. Kodak software is imbedded on the disk....this may be the main problem when all is said and done.

I threw my last floppy drive in the garbage a few months ago while housecleaning! It was for PC anyway. If you can't find a drive then most any computer repair service would be your best bet. They could transfer for you. Most of them probably still have old floppy and Zip drives (remember them?) laying around. You could check: http://www.tigerdirect.com for a drive.

I just checked. They have several USP floppy drive readers for under $20. They even still sell floppies! I would make a phone call to see if the USB reader will work with your Mac. I used to deal with them a lot. Good company.

Thank you for that thought, I am familiar with Tiger Direct but haven't bought from them for several years.Never thought of them. I will look at their site. My significant other still uses a PC and there's always the option of using his for this if the iMac won't read them. Thank you both for your help.

Long ago and far away I sent my point and shoot camera film out to be developed and put on Kodak floppy disks (no prints). Fast forward to 2014. Does any one know how I could retrieve those pictures now for my IMac? Do they even make an external floppy reader that would be compatible? I probably have about 100 of those disks.
Any help would be appreciated.

I ALREADY have the manual for my camera Bill Houghton


I have the same camera. The small manual that comes in "in the box" with the camera is not complete. Far more information with the download manual or the cd that came with the camera.
