Any current Lightscribe Software for Mac?

Hi, new Mac user here, just coming over from a Windows machine. and loving it!. Can anyone recommend Lightscribe software for mac. I've followed links on previous queries, but as these are a little dated, and the original HP ran site has closed down so I'm still struggling to find something suitable.
I know LaCie have some apps, but I'm assuming these only work with their writers.
I'm a wedding photographer so use Lightscibe all the time as my A2 printer wont print CD's and I hear a lot of bad stuff about the stick on labels damaging drives.
At the moment, I'm also looking to replace my desktop with an iMac, but need to see I can still have the same functionality first. Thanks

I find that Lacie's "Lightscribe Labeler" works quite nicely now that they have patched it to support Snow Leopard:

Whilst that wasn't working following my upgrade to 10.6, I used the Lightscribe Simple Labeler:
http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadsection/mac/index.aspx?id=852
The latter, as you'd expect, doesn't have many features and doesn't support full disc labelling.
That's using a Lacie D2 16x Lightscribe external drive connected with Firewire 400.
Hope that helps

Is there actually any computer cleaning software for Mac that is safe and works?

Is there actually any cleaning software for IMac that issafe and works. Have an early 2008 iMac, have up-graded RAM to 6GB.

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of trouble with system updates.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac" and “MacKeeper” scams.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for, and doesn't change the way other software works.
Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
5. Beware of malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X used to be so rare that it was hardly a concern, but it's now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
6. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform. A computing device should not be a focus of your attention. It should be an almost invisible tool by means of which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that is always whining for your attention like a neurotic dog, use a PC.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

Any eMail Signature software for Mac?

Hello guys,
I would like to customize my Yahoo eMail signature (not MacMail, just regular Yahoo mail), to add clickable social media icons, etc.
There is a great software called WiseStamp, which allows to create very fancy signatures.
But it does not work with Mac.
So I was wondering, is there any software available for mac users, similar to WiseStamp or eSig?
Thanks

Everything you need to keep your MacBook up to date is provided by Apple's software update in one tidy package. That is an advantage of having Apple controlling the Hardware and Software -- things like Drivers do not get out of control.
If you add third-party Hardware, you may need separate drivers from the vendor or manufacturer.

Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11? Or something equivalent? Help Please!

Hello All,
Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11? Or something equivalent?
I recently switched from a palm treo to blackberry but didn't anticipate syncing issues with my mac until now. The current BB desktop software seems only compatible with MAC OS 10.5, so I'm in a difficult position.
Please any suggestions are deeply welcomed!!
Thank you.

ok... "not true at all"??.... "but may be true for bluetooth and other things"??...
this was a statement regarding bluetooth specifically. the steps outlined for communicating via bluetooth are not a work around, pc suite IS a work around for missing features in windows [for bluetooth connectivity].
are you just bashing nokia, or do you have a real point?
(quote)
Nokia does not have any port for its carbide suite for development suite. It does not support any of its sdk on any other platform other than windows.
good point. not interested. (quote from futurama)
i'm a computer engineer. hi! i might be a bit conceded when i say this, but anyone who argues that they have to support more platforms for development, or be regarded as uncaring, is simply actiing out an egocentric desire to be important. i'm a mac user. before that i was a BeOS user. yeah, i'm also a developer - albeit a hardware developer, but nonetheless i know the pains and suffering of not being able to develop on my platform of choice AND I STILL SUPPORT THE DECISION.
they are not in the business of making multi-platform development tools. they are in the business of making phones. dead simple: get the dev tools out there, and hit as many potential devs as possible without having to become experts in PC, Mac, linux.... hey even BeOS. they've done that. you want to develop for Symbian (by the way, this is symbian, not nokia) then go and get the symbian dev tools and compile some apps.... development platform has nothing to do with development itself. would you rather they force you to develop natively on symbian? hard to do i'm sure, but possible. then they wouldn't force ANY other OS on you.
(quote)
And point in question, it even did not make an effort to port PC Suite on any platform other than windows. Nokia simply does not support any non-windows platform.
yup. wait. what void of functionality would PC suite fill on the Mac? i see the map loader. ok. not exactly a big deal. oh oh oh and the software updater. a bigger deal, but then again an even bigger mess if it ever screws up... bringing us back to the argument "they are not trying to become experts on windows/mac/linux/heck even beos software developmet"
what are you missing on the mac? tell me, and if it's not the map loader or the software update tool then we can probably fill that gap for you by pointing out links to nokia's website.
(quote)
Its probably because nokia's primary market i.e. Eurasia does not have a strong Mac presence.
heck the whole world "doesn't have a strong mac presence" - really. but just for giggles i'll pretend like i'm not hurt that you've excluded me from nokia's 'primary market' (i'm not in eurasia).
(quote)
But I think its mostly because simply put Nokia doesn't care, about its customers or its developers for that matter.
i feel cared for. as a user (a MAC user) - i don't currently develop software for nokia devices. i guess you don't feel cared for, but that doesn't mean they don't care. i pitty anyone who cares for you but simply cannot provide what you're looking for - it seems you'll be very upset and emotional about it.
(quote)
Its service centers are a joke (at least here in India) and its support is mostly sub-standard. And if Nokia has to compete with the biggies like Apple and Google who are now strongly focusing on the markets that Nokia held it really needs to pull up its socks.
their service centers EXIST. i've never seen one for my old sony ericcson phones. LG? in what part of the world are there service centers for mobile phones besides the mobile providers themselves like AT&T, T-Mobile, etc?
sub-standard support? ahh... what standard are you going by? from where i sit, if they don't bludgeon me and take my shoes they are doing well. no, seriously, i've NEVER had a good support experience with ANY company. but if service is that bad where you are, so bad that it sticks out, then don't use them. i can't use ANY support here in USA, they are all that bad: apple, palm (especially palm), microsoft (HAHAHAHAHA...oh they suck), let me count the ways they all fail to do anything useful ever.
is faiulre ok simply because it's the norm? no. but calling nokia sub standard in this market? sheesh, you've got an agenda.
(quote)
Otherwise, though as much I like Nokia, I would really like to see it sink to a silent death.
sounds to me like you have no kind regards for nokia at all and are eager to sit up front to watch a slow agonizing death. sorry to disappoint, but i think i should tell you that nokia isn't likely to die anytime soon. i could be wrong, but i think the numbers speak pretty clearly (look at annual sales of phones from each major company).

good luck Prayag, in your future dealings with nokia or whichever company you blow through next. i hope you find one you can deal with, perhaps it will be your own?

Best financial software for mac

What is the best personal financial software for mac? I am currently using Quicken 2007 but keep losing data.
Thanks,

This is a bash on Quicken reply. I have struggled with Quicken (currently Q07) for many, many years (back into the 90's). I counted 13 different sets of Quicken datasets which have been left hanging on my various hard drives over these years as I found out through different support calls that I would have to discard a corrupted database and start over.
Last year, I was told by Quicken support during a call I paid for that I had too many accounts and the database was too large. (This has been a common tech support comment for me) I've only tried to use Quicken for personal finance tracking, no securities tracking and the heavier features (thank goodness). The call ended with an all too familiar bottom line which was that the backups were all bad so they didn't help. The support person couldn't figure out how I could utlize the backup data so in the end, I re-entered the previous year so that I could get my taxes done and search for another program. I've researched enough to know I was lucky to not move to Quicken Express as was once advised. Apparently that software doesn't allow an export in the event you would find a different software.
The good news is that I just upgraded to Mountain Lion. As you may know, Quicken in any version does not work with this OS. I've finally found a perfect reason staring me in the face to never struggle to use Quicken again. Now to find a better option. Money has many features that seem like what I need for handling 5 or 6 bank accounts and credit cards. Has anyone experienced SEE software? It too seems to have decent features.
I don't know the background of this link but it may be a place to start:
http://personal-finance-software-review.toptenreviews.com/mac-personal-finance-s oftware/
MacWorld also has a review on financial software for the Mac 2013
Best of luck to us all. Deciding on MtnLion and Mac vs. Quicken pppfffft no question which gets dumped!

Eric:
You are more trusting of "waiting" for Intuit to live up to their promises than I am!
From Baltwo's quoted article:
This happened when Lion released and Apple decided to remove Rosetta which was a software tool to allow old software to run on the new Intel based Macs. It took a bunch of developers 8 months to get 2007 working again on Lion even though they didn’t add any new features.
Intuit had six years notice that Rosetta was a temporary solution to its PPC versions of Quicken, yet waited until Apple finally removed Rosetta from Lion before instituting its programming for an Intel version!?!
This is very consistent with their history of how they treat their Mac customers relative to their Windows customers...
Morale of the story... don't wait! For $15, start using Quicken now.

Have conflicting views from Apple Specialists; I'm ready to buy my 1st Mac, however work with a PC user with MS Publisher files a lot. Can Pages open, edit and resave them? Or, do I have to buy Publisher software for Macs?

Have conflicting views from apple Specialits; I'm ready to buy my 1st Mac. However, I work with a PC user with MS Publisher files a lot. Can Apple PAGES open .pub files, edit and resave them? OR, do I have to buy Publisher software for Macs? if yes to buy, any recommendations?

If you want to switch from PC to Apple I recommend a programm like Parallels.
It has a tool (believe its called transporter) which runs on your current PC and creates a file (big) which is a "virual machine". It is a 1:1 copy of your PC which will run under parallels on your iMac.
You will be running your "old" PC as it was under MAC OS X while you run MAC applikations etc at the same time.
This is how I made the transition to Apple.

Blu ray software for mac

I just installed my new internal LG Blu-Ray drive in my mac pro. Now the DVD studio pro doesn't recodnise my old DVD drive. I know the DVD studio pro is not designed for Blu-Ray so now I am looking for an ulternate for this software where I can make menu and chepters and it works with final cut pro and compresser. I have received a software cd with this drive, but that is for Windows. Where I can find LG Blu-Ray software for mac?
Please help me.

You mentioned that DVD Studio Pro does no recognize your old DVD drive.
When you format your project, look at the bottom of the Format window under the Destination section. The "Output Device" pop-up menu lets you choose between any device that DVD Studio Pro can write to. Both your internal burner and LG burner should show up.
Of course, this is all for NTSC DVD.
If you're going to go with Adobe Encore, be sure to use CS6 (the current version). Prior versions were problematic when it came to BD menus.

Using Desktop Software for Mac with an 8703e - Can it be done?

I downloaded the new BB desktop software for Mac but it doesn't seem to work with my 8703e device. And since I had to erase the PocketMac software to install the new BB software, I now have no way to synch my Mac and BB. Can anyone shed any light on this?

You might check out the FileBrowser app on iTunes. I haven't used it, but it sounds like what you're after. When you say you can't use the Sierra iG2 with your iPad, I'm assuming you mean you can't plug it into the iPad. If it's plugged into a laptop and offering a WiFi hotspot, the iPad should be good with that. I use the Apple Camera Connection Kit to carry extra movies on an SD card. It uploads only to the Photos app, so no books, etc.

Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac won't open

I've downloaded the Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac to begin synching my new Torch but when I try to launch the software, I get the following message.
"The document “BlackBerry Desktop Software.mpkg” could not be opened. TextEdit cannot open files in the “Installer package” format."
Has anyone encountered this and had any luck getting it to open?
Any advice appreciated -- anxious to update my contacts and fully use my new phone!

Hi choochoo2,
Have you been able to try using a different USB port or to retry connecting after reinserting the BlackBerry battery? If so, try reinstalling the Desktop Software and retrying the connection.
