I would like to buy a flat bed scanner in the uk compatible with my iMAc 10.8.4
I would like to buy a flat bed scanner in the uk compatible with my iMAc 10.8.4. There seems to be a gap of information between Apple and say Epson on what drivers are suitable any Ideas?
If I look at a scanner from an online store and can't find whether it is Mac compatible there, I go to the manufacturer website and check for compatibility. Sometimes I'll find the Mac logo embedded in the scanner photo, other times I'll have to select the driver link and find if there's a download for the Mac OS I'm using.
So far every scanner I've ever bought (that wasn't years old on some fire sale table at Staples) has been Mac compatible. Of course sometimes when the OS is updated it takes time for the manufacturer to update the driver software (and sometimes it chooses not to) but since 10.8 has been out for almost a year the former isn't going to be a problem.

I would like to know if is possible to use the old iSight with my powerbook (mid 2009)?
I would like to know if is possible to use the old iSight with the macbook pro (mid 2009)?
Hi,
If the Mac has Firewire then you can use the External iSight
(Other readers
If you have Firewire 800 then you will need an adapter to use the Firewire 400 camera - Search for the word Adpater and see posts by EZ Jim for more details)
Don't daisy-chain the camera with Hard Drives
The camera only uses a data rate of 200Mbps and the differences in Hard Drive data speeds can be an issue.
The External iSIght should work no matter what Firmware is on there currently.
There is some evidence that having the 1.0.3 version (Open the System Profiler > Hardware > Firewire) on the device makes it more compatible/useable in later OS versions
The Updater is included in Tiger and Leopard.
Hard Drive/System/Library/CoreServices/iSight Updater/iSight Updater.app
An OS Update could "trigger" this to be run if you have Tiger
It can also be run as a Standalone.
It is Not present in Snow Leopard and although the documentation says this Firmware is an Audio update some people report that the camera needs the 1.0.3 Firmware to run.
(that could simply be the "Flashing" the Memory involved resets it enough to work)

Would like to use Just Cloud to do backup is it compatible with FireFox 33?
I have Windows 7 Home Edition. I have used Norton Backup Online in the past but it stopped working a couple of months ago. I'm thinking of using Just Cloud to backup my computer but I won't if it isn't compatible with Firefox. Any advise would be helpful. thanks!
That would be a question for JustCloud support.

I have started ios development few weeks back but I am not sure on which version of ios I should develop my apps. People are having different iphone (3g, 4, 4s, 5) and I am not sure that all of them have upgraded themselves to latest version of ios or not.
Would anyone please suggest here which verion of ios is more in use and if i develop my app on lower verion of ios then will that run on higher version or not?
Thanks.I would target the latest version.
Adoption rate of iOS updates is high.
Since you're just beginning development, trying to support older versions of iOS adds unneeded complexity to an already difficult task. -
Linking SCSI baed flat-bed scanner to new Mac Pro with PCI-Express
I need information on how to link my current scanner (Microtek Scanmaker 4) with a recently ordered Mac Pro. It is a SCSI based peripheral, and the only (last) of my currently owned peripherals that I'll need after getting my new Mac Pro. I've been searching the internet for a modestly priced interface board that would serve me.
I've invested several hundred dollars in the hardware and SilverFast software, and would prefer to use the old scanner rather than move to a newer USB or Firewire based scanner.
I'd appreciate any leads. Does Apple have advice? So far I've not found any discussions that face the issue, but perhaps I've missed a dark corner of the support search domains.
Thanks in advance, Carl

My dilemma is that a high end scanner for photographic images (up to 3900 lpi) and firewire/USB 2.0 compatible costs about $600. The card you suggest was priced at about $400.
If push comes to shove I guess I'll opt for a new scanner, and face the problem of firewire/USB obselence when it comes.
A local resource suggested that the only reason we even worry about the availability of SCSI devices is that they are needed to interface with multi-thousand dollar scientific instruments.
I was hoping to find a more modestly priced card, and thank you for the lead. It's a start!

i bouhght my Macbook pro retina display 13 Inch i5 a week ago and I spilled a liquid on my keyboard , and i would like to know how much coast to repair the damage in apple store , i didnt buy in the offical apple shop. Some places are asking to pay 620 Pounds.
The only way you can get a valid estimate is by someone examining the MBP directly. Since no one on these forums can see or examine your MBP, you will need to get this infomation from a qualified repair shop. It seems that you already have secured one estimate. You can also bring the MBP to an Apple store and have a genius bar examine it for FREE.

I have a new iMac and would like to buy a cheap legal version of Photoshop to create a simple flyer. If I look on ebay or similar, what version do I require?
I understand that Photoshop 5 is not compatible?
I used to use CS5 at work which was very good, doing a little reserach it appears as if this suite has been replaced by a monthly 'cloud' charge which for me as a basic home user is unnecessary.
Appreciate any help.Hello Simonlala;
Anyone that buys an iMac should not have to buy "cheap". it's like putting "retread tires" on a brand new Farrari! Ugh!
To find a cheap version of PS is to locate an obsolete version only? Software surplus business may have some or check the obituary columns to see if any Photographers or Gaphic Designers have left some things behind?
Some options...enroll in a community college Multimedia class and you will not only have access to Photoshop, you'll have access to much more software for the price of the course. It will also qualify you as a student and you can get a discounted rate on the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription as well.
If you are only making "simple flyers" would not MS Word or OpenOffice software do the job for you? There are applications for that purpose and Photoshop is not the only way to skin this cat! Or you can always buy a box of Crayola's and make a pamphlet that way?
And as a bonus, you may learn something from the course you enroll in.
I am a student and subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud...it's reasonable for my purposes for now. -
I have a pc that is one year old and the hard drive is crashing we use it only for quick books to run our small business I would like to buy a macmini and install the OS from the pc to the apple product i will not use the pc after, can i use the OS off the pc or do I have to purchase another?
I think you can get Windows 7 for around $99. Install the 64bit version as the 32bit version will not be able to use all your new computer's ram if you have more than about 3.5gb.
Back up your quick books data now before the old hard drive dies. You can copy your data over to your new installation of Windows and quick books.
By the way, there is quick books for Mac http://quickbooks.intuit.com/mac/?sc=BNR-000-COR-quickbooks&priorityCode=4902000 000&cid=ppc_google_QB-Intuit-Core-Brand-Mac_quick-books-for-mac_exact&site=&ad_i d=9347918288&raw_keyword=quick%20books%20for%20mac
So you may not need to install Windows at all. -

I am now currently studying in Switzerland and I would like to buy a macbook pro in USA. So may I ask how much for the shipping fees? Thanks a lot
I'm not so sure if it's possible that Apple ships internationally. Why not just look into getting one in your country that you live in?

I would like to buy a Macbook Pro and it would be my first Mac device. I have selected this model MGX82HN/A MB PRO DUAL CORE i5 2.6GHZ/8 GB RAM/256 GB SSD/ Iris Graphics device. Please advice whether it would suffice a normal user who works in a management consulting industry with project presentation related software in work ? Thanks.

Not only would it be safe but less expensive as well. The tray loaders are deemed to be the most reliable. Apple does not support Blueray so avoid that.

I would like to buy an iPhone for my friend in Iceland. Two questions: will the phone work with complete utility in Iceland, and if so, what should I do to confirgure it while in the USA so that it can have full utility in Iceland?
Bad idea. There are no supported iPhone carriers in Iceland, thus some features may or may not work. Further, there will be no warranty or support for a US purchased iPhone in Iceland...your friend will be on their own. If you still want to go down this road, make sure you purchase an officially unlocked iPhone(GSM model) directly from Apple.

I would like to buy an ipad for a friend of mine that lives in Santiago,Dominican Republic. How and what do I need to do as far as set up of the ipad to make sure that it functions efficiently and properly in Santiago,Dominican Republic? The availability of wi-fi is not very good, so should I buy an ipad model that has wi-fi and cellular capability? I am quite new to all this technology so I would appreciate it very much if someone can explain step by by step and in simple terms how the ipad needs to be set up to work in this country.
The Smart Cover only protects the front screen. You'll get scratches on the back plus it provides no protection for a small drop.
I added a screen protector as it was cheap insurance protection.
For my iPad 2, I bought an Adesso case/keyboard model WKB-2000CD http://www.adesso.com/en/component/content/article/49-coming-soon/455-wkb-2000cd .html Works great & looks good. The keyboard is easier to use than Apple's on-screen keyboard. Do a Google search using the model number to get the best price. About the same price as Apple's covers & it covers the whole iPad. Although the new iPad is slightly thicker, it should fit this case.
