Verizon telephone system for Mac OS X version 10.4.3

Hello,
I have an iMac, OS X, version 10.4.3
I'm thinking about getting a Verizon, high-speed telephone system (whatever that means). The system would consist of two separate telephone lines. One line for the iMac computer and residential telephone; the other line for a fax machine and business telephone.
I already have one (dial-up) line for the computer and telephone with unlimited, long-distance calling.
Can you explain to me (like I'm a six-year old) the details about all of this, and if its the best way to go?
Thanks,
Wayne

I'm thinking about getting a Verizon, high-speed
telephone system (whatever that means).
I believe you are talking about Verizon DSL. (unless you are in the very limited fiber market area, and are willing to pay a goodly amount per month)
DSL allows you to use a single telephone line for simultanious phone and internet access.
If you choose self install, they will mail you a modem, a bunch of filter boxes, an install CD, and a large setup sheet.
The modem connects to a phone jack near your computer, then you run an ethernet cable from the modem to your computer.
The filters go on each phone jack w/o a computer attached.
The installer CD sets up your ethernet control pane, and (used to) install a customized version of Netscape.
I already have one (dial-up) line for the computer
and telephone with unlimited, long-distance calling.
Then add DSL service to this line (I'll call it your home line). For any phone connected to this line, you'll have to connect a filter. (Verizon will provide several in the box with the DSL modem - you'll have to pay for them over a certain number)
DSL works by using high frequency "sound" (voice works at a lower freq. 1k band) The filters block the high freq used by DSL, so you don't get static/whistle/whine on your voice calls)
You cannot put a filter on the jack to whihc you connect the DSL modem - if you do, DSL will not work
the other line for a fax machine and business
telephone.
DSL would not be active on the second (business) line/phone number, and because its a separate set of wires, I don't think you'd need the filters, either.

  • Is there a timekeeping system for Mac?

    My uncle has a small cleaning business and he uses a telephone timekeeping system so he can easily keep track of employees clocking and out. He would like to be able to replace the one he's got as it's been having issues recently and it's 15 years old. He would like a Mac-based one as his current timekeeping system is running on a Windows based IBM clone. His current timekeeping system's hardware consists of a PCI card which has phone line ports on it. He would like to be able to have two phone lines for it to prevent busy signals when a lot of employees are clocking in and out.
    Is there a Mac-compatible timekeping system which meets those criteria, (preferably one which is not PCI or PCIE)?

    iOS is for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. The operating system for Macs is OS X, and a new version, OS X 10.9 Mavericks, was just released yesterday. It's free in the Mac App Store for anyone running a compatible Mac. See:

    it doesnt support the operating system for mac? adobe premiere?

    Hi,
    which version of Premiere Pro are you trying to install? Also check your system compatibility for Premiere Pro CC as suggested by John. If you are trying to install CS6 or any of the previous versions then you can check the compatibilty from this link. http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-premiere-pro.html MAC OS 10.6.8 should work with Premiere Pro CS6, if your system meets the rest of the criteria. For Premiere Pro CC, 10.6.8 may not work. Check your OS if its a 32 bit or a 64 bit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3696

  • Home Security System For Mac?

    I'm on the market for a home security system I can run through my home computers. I was all set to purchase a nice Logitech system with an outdoor camera and everything else, and noticed it doesn't work with Mac.
    I've done a lot of research, but I'm not finding a recommended system for Mac users.
    Can anyone make a recommendation or point me in the right direction?
    Thanks.

    You might check CNet Downloads or MacUpdate and search for the software. Then you will know what systems should work with Macs such as Thinking Home that works with X-10 devices.

  • I cannot activate the screen saver. My operating system is Mac OS X version 10.6.8. The screen message says 'Please contact the vendor to get a newer version of the screen saver'

    When I try and activate my screen saver the following message appears
    Please contact the vendor to get a newer version of the screen saver
    My operating system is Mac OS X  version 10.6.8

    To begin with, you have the wrong forum - the iMacs covered by this forum were discontinued in 2005 and are incapable of running OS X 10.6.x
    Try either iMac (Intel) or Snow Leopard forums.
    To get more help, contributors will need to know what screensaver you're trying to use - is it one downloaded from the internet or one of the OS X default set?

    Yes. Always keep the default settings unless you have a specific reason not to.
    If you are a heavy user of Java programs or applets, you may need to clear the cache files after Java updates because the old caches may interfere.

    You're talking about the dock?
    To check on that, go to System Preferences > Dock > indicate your preference.
    I can get iTunes up, and safari, but i don't know how
    Not sure what you mean - if you can "get it up" - does that mean you can launch it? What do you not know?

  • Wanting to deactivate PS Elements on Mac and transfer program to a friend. Is it OK to download a trial to my friend's Mac and use my serial number.  Also is the serial number the same for Mac and Win versions?  Many thanks.

    Wanting to deactivate PS Elements on Mac and transfer program to a friend. Is it OK to download a trial to my friend's Mac and use my serial number.  Also is the serial number the same for Mac and Win versions?  Many thanks.

    Yes it should work transferring PSE10 from Mac to Mac. There is a download link below for PSE10, which your friend could use. There is a formal licence transfer process but it’s not necessary for your friend to register the product (activation is sufficient) although he couldn’t benefit from future upgrade pricing without registration. Serial numbers typically can only be registered one time.
    Boxed versions of PSE are normally multi-platform with disks for both Windows and Mac; so the serial number is the same. Downloads have tended to be single platform only although I believe the current version PSE12 will work on both Windows and Mac with the same serial number – boxed or download.

  • Where to purchase Office for Mac 2008 nonEWS version?

    I'm planning my upgrade to Lion. I need the non-Web Services Edition of Office for Mac 2008 so that I can connect to my employer's MS Exchange Server 2003 via Entourage 2008.
    I can only find the Web Services Edition on Microsoft's website- but that won't work for me.
    My understanding is that I need Office for Mac 2008 version 13.3 or earlier. When I shop online, the products offered do not specify the version they are selling.
    Does anybody know a sure-fire way or place to get the right version?
    thanks.

    I have Outlook 2011 and was unable to get it to work with the Exchange 2003. Does this mean they do not have IMAP enabled? When I asked the IT people they said that as far as they knew Outlook 2011 would not work with Exchange 2003.  I didn't know enough to ask about IMAP.
    1. How do I determine if IMAP is turned on?
    A. Ask the IT people if IMAP is enabled for your Exchange Server setup. I'm pretty sure it's *not* enabled by default. They had to turn it on for me earlier for a system I manage that only works with IMAP; so I knew in advance with setting up Outlook 2011 that it was on for me
    B. You can always just go for it in Outlook 2011.
    - Launch "Preferences"
    - Click Accounts
    - Click the "+" in the bottom corner to add another account, and select "E-mail" (do *not* select Exchange)
    - Fill in "Email address" and the sheet will expand
    - Note the "Type" field -- make sure "IMAP" is selected.
    You may need to talk to the IT people if you don't know the servers and their ports for those other settings. But that's basically the way you way to setup an IMAP account.
    Try this on site not over VPN to make sure it works. I ran into problems with email and other company systems with VPN because I wasn't going through the company's DNS server for my traffic. It's enough to test with OWA with VPN; if you can't connect with name of the server but you can with the IP, then you're not going through the company's DNS.
    In Snow Leopard, I believe it was enough in the Network settings to move the VPN higher up in the protocal order, e.g. VPN, Airport, Ethernet. A more stable way is to add the email server and its IP to your hosts file (etc/hosts).
    I had heard about Davmail, but was intimidated by it. 2. You say DavMail allows you to get email into other clients- will it do this once I update to Lion?
    3. On the DavMail website link it shows instructions to set-up for IMAP, but what if I don't have IMAP?
    If I have to use OWA to get email into another client, how would I go about that?
    Thanks for your help.
    DavMail is a little more involved in terms of setup compared to just using Outlook (or even Mail) with IMAP. The most pain free way is to convince/get the IT people in your company to turn on IMAP for you.
    If they don't, then you might consider DavMail.
    See if this helps explain what's going on with DavMail. DavMail basically is "interfacing" between Outlook Web Access  and your email client. DavMail will go through OWA to your (exchange) mailbox, and (here's the important part) function as your personal IMAP server on your computer. The mail clients like Outlook and Mail, or whatever you want, will then be configured for the DavMail email server, not the Exchange server at the end of chain.
    So if the IT people refuse to turn on IMAP for you -- it can happen -- then you can bypass the limitation with DavMail as long as OWA is turned on.

  • I would like to suggest a Verizon-specific forum for Mac-users

    Verizon is the largest provider of wireless and other related solutions. When I have problems with my Mac or supporting services I am consistently able to find solutions on either the Mac or Verizon forums. However, this takes quite a bit of effort to locate the right answer for my problem. And, this takes a lot of time.
    I would like to harness solutions for Mac-users who are Verizon customers all in one place. This could make it easier for Mac-users to get quick answers. This could also be a great referral point for Verizon as it sorts out answers/solutions for Mac users.
    Currently, Verizon hears from less than .05% of its customers that there are any issues of compatibility, less access to great services, needs for solutions for Mac. However Mac users represent at least 20% of computer users around the US. On the one hand you can infer that there are issues with less than .05% of the Mac universe or, on the other hand, you can infer that many just don't go to Verizon for the solutions.
    I am not sure which is right. I just know that having solutions in one place, my Mac home, would be useful. I hope you will consider the idea.
    I do realize no forums are dedicated to any one provider. However, Verizon, again, is the biggest provider. Maybe this is worthy of a forum.

  • Safari for Mac OS X Version 10.3

    How do I download or re-install Safari web browser on my old Mac OS X Version 10.3 Imac? My son inadvertently deleted it, and Apple Support very kindly went so far as to dump me here in the discussion page with no further help, because I'm so very long out of warranty. Thanks.

    Greetings,
    Before you try installing those updates that Vk gave you links for, you first need to reinstall Safari from your Mac OS X 10.3 install disc. And you should download and use http://www.charlessoft.com/>Pacifist to do that, since I don't think there's an Optional Installs folder on that disk. You'd have to root around to find the installer just for Safari and use that first, otherwise the updates won't work.
