Connecting Serial Garmin GPS to iMac Intel
I was wondering if anyone has connected a Serial port cable GPS from Garmin to an iMac Intel using a USB to RS232 converter cable. I have a GPSmap 76S from Garmin and have not been able to get Google Earth or LoadmyTrack programs recognize the GPS. I have created a serial port through Bluetooth and downloaded a program from Keyspan ¨Serial Assistant¨, the program recognized the cable adaptor but not the GPS on the device list. Would appreciate any feed back on the subject. I contacted Garmin and they said that they do not have any experience with Apple computer at the moment and the compatibility. I contacted the company who made LoadmyTrack and they said they have had success connecting the particular model GPS with Apple computers but did not specify if they were the intel duo core and have not heard from them again.
I have a Garmin 12XL (very old serial connected GPS) and use MacGPS Pro software (terrific software, terrific support from the author! - http://www.macgpspro.com/). When I moved from my beige G3 desktop to my iMac, I worried about this but their recommendation was painless. I bought the Keyspan USA-28X usb to serial adapter (This is a dual mini-din to usb adapter, which I chose because my existing cabling fit the min-din serial ports on my G3 - but Keyspan's USA-19HS is also available for PC type serial cables). Keyspan offers a Universal Binary driver to support this. (I am using the Keyspan Serial Assistant as you are.) The MacGPS Pro software is also Univeral Binary, and I have no trouble getting the GPS info into my machine this way. Haven't tried getting GPS info directly into Google Earth though... Something else to play with later, I guess - I see the MacGPS Pro software now supports interaction with Google Earth.
Just a quick revision here... I see the GPSMap 76CS uses a different connector than mine - not sure about your GPSMap 76S - but the proper Keyspan device MAY be the "Garmin 010-10141-00 with
Keyspan USA-19HS" suggested on the web site I noted above.

I'm a somewhat new convert to the mac world, so thank you in advance for understanding. I have a Garmin GPS that I was able to connect through USB on a windows PC formerly, but now can't figure out how to get it to connect under my Parallels installation of Win XP using Garmin's City Navigator mapping software, which is apparently not yet available in the Mac OS.
Thanks to anyone who can help.You don't.
USB devices must be specifically supported in a
virtualized environment. Use BootCamp instead.
If you want to keep trying to use it via Parallels,
install the 3096 beta build.
I downloaded the 3096 beta build and still couldn't connect. Interestingly, with my old G-3, I had downloaded Palm Desktop which would hot synch with my Garmin iQue, to transfer addresses and date book data (Palm Desktop wouldn't allow transfer of map data). Now, with my fancy new MacPro with Windows XP Pro, I can't connect with my GPS in Windows, and I cannot synch with it in the Mac OS with Palm Desktop.
I spent an hour with a Garmin tech who admitted that he wasn't too hep on the Mac, but was unable to solve the problem of not recognizing the GPS with a Hot Synch. He did say that Garmin was working on new drivers to allow the Mac and Garmin to connect but it could be months away.

Connecting non-powered speakers to iMac Intel
Is there a product that will connect non-powered speakers (that normally connect to a receiver), directly to the iMac Intel (mid 2006)? Either by a cable connector to the headphone port or USB?
I bought 2 Harman Kardon speakers super cheap last year, but have no receiver to power them. I guess I could buy a receiver but I don't really have the space for it. Today, I just bought the Griffin ProSpeaker Cable which connects non-power speakers to the iMac but found out it's for the older iMacs with 2.5mm port. The iMac Intels have a 3.5mm port.
Any suggestions?
iMac 20" Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.6) Powerbook G4 TitaniumHi L.
Tried looking at the page your link directed me to but it was introducing a USB speaker. I know about the multimedia speakers for Apple computers but I'm looking at a way to use the speakers I already have.
I guess if there isn't a cable out there to help hook them up, I will have to purchase either a receiver and go through Airport Xpress or buy the multimedia speakers. (A bit more money than I was hoping to spend.)
Thanks anyways. -
HT2477 how can I connect a Garmin GPS etrex vista hcx to macbook pro with retina.
I would like to know if is it possible to connect my GPS Garmin etrex vista hcx to my macbook pro with retina.
Thanks.I believe that Garmin GPSr model uses a USB connection, so if you load the Garmin drivers, and possibly the [free] Garmin Base Camp utility, you should be able to connect your GPSr to your macbook Pro and transfer information. I don't recall positively, but I think that your GPSr should appear as a USB drive automatically once you connect it, but it might require you to load the Garmin Communicator software.

Connecting hp psc 950 to iMac Intel with USB cable
I have had my iMac for about 14 months and have been using an old Dell PC for most of my printing needs. I have reached the point that I want to convert everything to the iMac. I have Fusion and am running Windows 7 there so I can use Quicken 2010 (the Mac version is worthless). I want to print my checks to the same printer that I have been using on the PC. I thought it would be simple to just connect the printer to the Mac using the cable, but the Mac doesn't see the printer. I downloaded the latest driver from HP and no better. Why doesn't this work and how do I fix it.
I also have an old hp Laserjet 5L that I use from time to time and would like to do the same thing.
My wife wants to connect a CanoScan 8400F via a USB cable and the same thing applies. I know this should be simple but I am stumped. Anyone have a fix for me?
Thanks in advanceGo to System Preference>Printer&Fax. In the sidebar of the window that appears you will see all the printers that are set up (in your case that my be empty). At the bottom of the sidebar you will see buttons for + & =. Click the + button. A window will appear showing all printers attached to your Mac. Highlight the printer you want, then click the add button.

Anyone aware of method to connect scsi film scanner to iMac (intel)
I have a Nikon LS-4500 medium format scanner which is now attached to a PC running XP which I would like to use with my iMac rather than maintaining two computers. Any ideas? Is a USB to SCSI connection possible?

in the google search you could also try replacing the usb part by firewire
mind you it may not be compatible
and if would require drivers for both the converter and a twain driver for the scanner
so make sure there are osx drivers for all parts before spending too much
though if it was me I would likely just flush the scanner out the toilet and buy a new one -
Connecting a USBSerial GPS to Intel iMac
Has anyone been able to connect their Garmin GPS to their Intel iMac? The drivers I was using for my USB Serial cable no longer work, and I want to find a cable that does and purchase it.
If your does work can you give me a link to your drivers so I can see if my cable can use it?
Thank You
GuyI have a Keyspan USB to serial adapter and Keyspan has already made available a beta version of their Universal driver for these adapters. Their website suggests the final version will be ready sometime in February.
I am using the excellent MacGPS Pro software, and that is promised to be available as a Universal Binary too.
I haven't actually tried connecting my Garmin 12XL to my Intel iMAC yet to confirm this works, thinking I can wait a bit longer for Keyspan's final release of their driver. -
Unable to Eject Garmin GPS from MacBook
After connecting my Garmin GPS 62SC to my MacBook to acquire updates on-line, I am unable to eject because the camera within the GPS is re-recognized by the MacBook as soon as it is ejected.
What about changing the way iPhoto sees the GPS? Do this in iPhoto Preferences / General.
The options for "Connecting camera opens:" include No application.
The downside is that if you do connect a regular camera you will have to do some work. -

Generation 4 iPod Connection to new iMac intel core 2 duo
Okay, first of all heres all my technical information:
-new iMac Intel Core 2 Duo
-Gen 4 iPod, non color diplay
-running iTunes 7.0.2
-sadly, no iPod power brick(although i think i need it to solve the problem)
Okay, now to the problem, I tried to connect the iPod to my new iMac, and it worked after leaving it alone for 15 minutes. It is formated to windows and i wanted the music to stay on it, so i disconnected it. Afterward i just thought, screw it, and connected it hoping to restore it, but it never showed up in iTunes or the finder. I thought this was odd, then i looked at the iPod and it displayed a image of a iPod power brick going into an outlet. i havent been able to get to the apple store and thought there must be an easier way to do this, so i went to get the old install disc for my iPod that came with it. Hoping this would finally work, i tried to run the package installer for the iPod to install the drivers, and it displayed(after it evaluated my comp) "Cannot be installed on this computer, missing Mac OSX Networking Update" I've looked all over the Downloads area of the Apple site and havent been able to find it. Can someone please help me!?!I have the new 24" flat screen imac and a new IPOD video. I was using the ipod on an old mac with 10.4 and it was working ok with a few sync issues. But when I tried it with the new mac I get very bad results. Itunes hangs and I need to do a hard power reset. Then the ipod once hung up and I had to do a restore on my old mac. Still have not successfully used the ipod with the new mac.

I have a Free Agent external backup hard drive connected to my iMac Intel desktop via USB, I never unplug it. Why do I get an error message, from time to time, upon startup stating, "Disk was disconnected improperly. Always eject disk before disconnecting."?
I never unplug the external harddrive, and the error message comes up only occassionaly upon startup. Maybe the USB connection gets disrupted enough to cause the computer to see it as disconnected and then reconnected while the iMac is powered.

What is the best CD and DVD to use with my new iMac Intel?
Guys, please help. I am not great on the computers and need a bit of help and advice. Just brought a brand new iMac Intel G5. This is to replace my older but much loved iMac G4, which is very simple to use. Have had nothing but trouble with the new one which was especially brought to copy CD's and DVD's and to have a good play with. After much head scratching have just been told by Apple help desk that the new intels may not like CD-R. These disks worked fine on my old Mac, brought a new pack (100). I can copy information and burn to these disks using Disk Utility. BUT they can only be read on the Intel iMac, not on my old mac or PC at work. This is only simple word and pdf files, nothing complicated. Copying and burning DVD's even more of a nightmare. What makes and formats do you recommend that I use? I can copy to DVD+R. Your advise would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Townie1978

Thats the full spec of my iMac Intel duo core, plus added memory. As per the sellers website. The bit about the superdrive is pure fantasy. Have tried to copy and burn to DVD -R, +R and -RW all go through the motions and keep you in suspense. Then you put the disc in another player and disc not recognised. Really, really upset by this. -
I'm experiencing a failure of all FireWire ports on all of my three machines. I believe this problem began with a faulty external, FireWire powered hard drive from G-Tech. Here are all my specs, followed by a rundown of the order of events that has lead to this situation, followed by the various troubleshooting I have done.
Equipment :
iMac Aluminum Intel - 24" Mid 2007 - running OsX 10.5.8 - currently 1 FW400 and 1 FW800 ports disabled
iMac G5 - 20" - running OsX 10.5.8 - currently 2 FW400 ports disabled
MacBook - 13" black Early 2008 - running OsX 10.5.8 - currently 1 FW400 port disabled
2 500GB G-Drives (by G-Tech) - AC powered
1 5TB G-RAID Drive (by G-Tech) - AC powered
1 250GB G-Drive Mini (by G-Tech) - FW powered
Initial Setup :
1 500GB G-Drive connected directly to iMac Intel via FW800
1 500GB G-Drive connected to first 500GB G-Drive via FW800 (daisy chained)
1 250GB G-Drive connected to second 500GB G-Drive via FW400 (daisy chained)
1 5TB G-RAID connected directly to iMac Intel via FW800>400 adapter
Sequence of Events :
I had transferred some files to my G-Drive Mini in order to move them to my MacBook from my iMac Intel. I copied the files to the G-Drive Mini and ejected it normally and plugged it into my MacBook via FW400. The drive would not mount, and the power indication light would not go on. After experimenting with various connections and cables I was able to get the drive to power with FW400 and USB connected at the same time, but the drive would still not mount.
I then plugged the G-Drive Mini back into the 2nd 500GB G-Drive as it was previously connected via FW400. This action caused the G-Drive to immediately reboot and eject itself from my iMac Intel.
I then attempted to plug the G-Drive Mini into my older iMac G5 via FW400. Immediately upon plugging in, the computer shut down, and would not restart.
At this point I kind of started to freak out. I was unaware of the extent of the damage, but was upset that the FW powered G-Drive Mini had shutdown my iMac G5. I contacted G-Tech Support and they offered to replace the drive and instructed me how to manually reset the computer's SMC by opening up the iMac and finding the Cuda switch. This worked and the computer was able to start and function again, but the FW400 port seemed to be disabled.
I then tried to swap out configurations and drives on my iMac Intel to see if there was any cable problems, but doing so, slowly rendered all my FireWire ports useless. It's almost as if the act of plugging in the FW-powered G-Drive Mini started a kind of shortout chain reaction. I soon learned that none of my hard drives would connect to any of my three machines, with any kind of cable combination via FW400 or 800.
I am currently able to connect my 5TB G-RAID drive to any machine via USB, as well as my G-Drive Mini. I am unable to access the other two external hard drives, as one has only FW400 and 800 ports and the other's USB connection is not functional as well on any machine.
Troubleshooting Steps Taken :
I have on all machines, reset the SMC in the following methods. iMac G5 - manually, by opening the case and pressing Cuda switch. iMac Intel - unplug, hold power button, restart method. MacBook - unplug, hold power button, restart method.
I have also on all machines, reset the PRAM by the Cmnd + Opt + P + R method at startup.
I have also unplugged all cables / removed battery, from all machines and left alone for a period of at least 12 hours, then re-plugged in each device one at a time.
I have also restored my hibernate mode (through Terminal) on my iMac Intel to mode 3 and also turned on Virtual Memory in system preferences and set hibernatemode to mode 7, the restarted and attempted to plug in devices. The reason I even began to deal with the hibernate mode was because I had around the same time my ports began malfunctioning, installed the DeepSleep widget, which allows you to control your computer's hibernate mode. I thought that tweaking with this setting may have made my computer incapable of recognizing devices that were plugged in. I have since uninstalled the widget and experimented with different hibernatemodes to no avail.
I also have Repaired Disk Permissions and Repaired Disk on all my machines, from within my Admin User as well as from the OsX Install Disk.
Sometimes in my System Profiler (like right now for example on my iMac Intel) my computer is "Unable to list FireWire devices," but sometimes, no warning message comes up and it simply displays the appropriate Bus speed.
I also conducted a system restore using a backup from my 5TB G-Raid Drive via USB, to a date before these problems started, but my ports are still not working.
Summary :
I am looking at a situation where all my FW ports on all my computers appear to be disabled, and possibly also on my four external hard drives, with one possible USB port malfunction on one external drive. The only root of this seems to be a malfunctioning FW-powered external hard drive.
Is this possible? Has this happened to anyone else before? G-Tech assures me that it is impossible for my 250GB G-Drive Mini to draw enough power from a computer to permanently disable any ports, but I have tried all of the FW port problem troubleshooting steps and am at a loss.
I do not have AppleCare and would like to avoid bringing two iMacs, a MacBook and four hard drives to the Apple store and take my chances with the geniuses.
I would appreciate any help or advice you all have. Thanks for reading and for your support!Ok. So if that was too confusing, I've re-labeled this post with letters for my hard drives and some mapping of the connectivity configurations I have attempted.

Do I need to partition my hard drive to use Airport to back up my files on my iMac intel?
Airport Utility was pre-installed on my iMac (Intel) and I don't know how to use Time Machine with Airport. I want to backup my hard drive and thought that Time Machine would do this. I receive a message to select a Backup Disc. Do I have to partition my hard drive to have the backup on my iMac? Alternately I could purchase an external hard drive with USB 3.0. Would Time Machine detect the USB external drive so that I could select that as the Backup Disc? Are there any cons for Apple wireless hard drives?
The idea with Time machine is to use it to back up to an external drive. Once connected you would tell Time Machine to use that drive.
However before you do that, connect the external drive and open Disk Utility
1. Click on the external drive
2. Click on the Erase tab and select Mac OS extended, Journaled.
3. Click Apply
When finished it will be formatted correctly and then open Time machine and tell it to use it as the Time machine backup disk.

No sound on iMac Intel 24'' EMC 2267 after hard drive replacement
I replaced my hard drive on my iMac Intel 24'' EMC 2267, due to numerous bad blocks, by following all the instructions on iFixit.com. I did not experience any problems.
I then installed all my files from a Time Machine backup. There were no problems with the restoration of my files. It seems that my new hard drive works beautifully.
However, one serious problem I have is that now there is no sound on my iMac. There is no startup chime, and there are no other sounds. When clicking on Sound in System preferences, it says that there are "no output devices found".
When opening system profiler, in the Audio (built-in) tab it says "Audio ID: 0"
I re-opeend my iMac to make sure that all cables were connected properly, and I did not manage to spot any problems.
I tried to reset PRAM and EMC but these did not solve the problem. I am working under MacOS X 10.6.8
Can someone help please? Any information provided will be most appreciated. Thanks in advance for your support.
Regards - GinaI think when you replaced your hard drive you bumped into the daughter board and that is for the sound and the wireless, You need to get another daughterboard or contact the Apple Store if your Mac is stilll under warranty.
