Can an Apple Stylewriter 1200 & StylewriterII + Mac OSX 10.6.3 connect?

On one of those happy days I have just been given about 50 unused black ink cartridges "BJ BC-01" as used in my old Stylewriters. I still have both Stylewriters in good condition but unused for years. Is there a USB to serial adapter on the market that can be used to connect an iMac running OSX 10.5.3 so that I can print routine b & w pages and use up these many ink cartridges?
I have an old Keyspan usb to serial adapter part no USA-28X but that does not seem to work.
Ideas please.

Here is the reply from Tripplite ..... there seems to be a driver issue still ....
There is good reason why we sell more Mac USB serial adapters than any other company. We've been making PCI serial cards and USB serial adapters for Mac OS for more than 10 years!
Our USB Twin Serial Adapter is recommended by dozens of serial device manufacturers and has been certified by Apple for use with Final Cut Pro.
Key Features
Plugs into a USB port on your Mac
Provides two RS-422 ports for connection to serial devices
Supports data rates up to 1 Mbps
Draws power from the USB connection -- a power adapter in not required
Has been qualified by Apple, Avid and others for connection to video decks
Supports use of multiple adapters on one Mac
System Requirements
Macintosh:
An available USB port
Mac OS 8.6 or greater
Mac OS X (10.2.8, 10.3.9, 10.4 or greater)
For use with RS-232 and RS-422 serial devices including modems, graphics tablets, video decks, serial PDAs, serial printers, GPS devices, and medical/scientific instrumentation. Does not support AppleTalk/Local Talk. Some serial devices, including many serial printers, do not have drivers for Mac OS X and therefore will not operate under Mac OS X. Check with the serial device manufacturer to confirm that Mac OS X is supported. (For Epson Stylus Printers, use our USB Parallel Printer Adapter if running Mac OS X.)
Package Includes
Adapter (USA-28XG) with built in USB cable
CD with driver software and user guide

    You may get an answer here at the Mountain Lion discussion, but I'd suggest Lion folks are more likely hanging out at the Lion discussion page:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion
    A little more info would be helpful- when did this start, ever able to send in a timely manner, etc.
    Good luck.

  • Where can I get a copy of MAC OSX 10.4 to install?

    I am trying to install Maya 6 on my mac and I get the error that my computer is too new... where can I get a copy of MAC OSX 10.4 to install? I have an old powerPC that I could put this on instead of my newer computer. My company does not have to resources to upgrade the copy of Maya at the moment, so this is my best option.

    Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray) See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1976068 Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac?
    Also check these web stores: http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521  http://www.allmac.com/shop/index.php?cPath=5_10003
    Possible Alternative if you are currently using Panther 10.3 – Do a Google search for Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD. It will upgrade your 10.3 to 10.4, but it doesn’t contain the full retail Tiger installer. Should be cheaper than the retail Tiger install DVD.
    After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Look at this link Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page
    http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/
    You can also download the Tiger Installation and Setup Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/Tiger_Install_Setup_Guide.pdf
    When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710 Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.

  • Iam trying to buy OS Lion to my Imac but i can not buy  because its saying Mac OSX 10.7 requires at least 2 GB of memomie and mine has 1 GB what can i do?

    iam trying to buy OS Lion to my Imac but i can not buy  because its saying Mac OSX 10.7 requires at least 2 GB of memomie and mine has 1 GB what can i do?

    If it's just a question of memory, you can buy and install more. It could also be that your iMac is just not compatile with Lion.
    Minimum requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • I can't download linked files on mac osx lion what do i do?

    i can't download linked files on mac osx lion what do i do?

    There have been some reported problems with Apple's servers.
    Try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    I assume you are trying to update via wifi. You can also connect the iPad to your computer and update using iTunes.

  • Can't install flash player on Mac OSX version 10.4.11

    Hello
    I've spent the morning trying to do this and still no joy. I had flash player already and when trying to use the 4oD website it asked me to download or upgrade flashplayer. I did, the correct version according to my mac version. All goes well and the window message says 'installed successfully'.The only thing I find strange is that just before this message appears I hear the sound of items being put in the 'trash' ... and there they are. Other times the message error -1409 appears. The only icon that appears is the Flash player installer.pkg so not sure whether the application was installed or just the installer!  All web searches prompt me to download the missing plug in, both in safari and mozilla. Java script is definitely enabled on both browsers.
    I have use the uninstall package three times, restarted the computer, downloaded flash player again but no change.
    Forgive my limited use of jargon - this doesn't make any sense to me but I've just spent 3 hours following instructions to no avail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Apple Mail (v6.6, Mac OSX v10.8.5) mixes up mail threads - why, and what can I do?

    Dear community,
    I am having a weird synchronisation problem. My Mail (v6.6) on my MacBook Air (Mac OSX v10.8.5) mixes up random email threads after I read emails on my iPhone (5C).
    E. g. there is an email thread with Frank. Frank writes a new email that I read on my iPhone. Shortly after, I open Mail on my MacBook, so that Frank’s email is downloaded there as well, displayed as "read" and added to the existing thread with Frank. However, although still being named "Frank", showing the current date and reference, in fact it is an email of Fritz from two years ago, having nothing at all to do with the thread with Frank.
    Synchronising with the iPhone with USB has no effect, although the emails remain correctly displayed on the iPhone. On my MacBook’s Mail, the email from Fritz keeps to exist a second time at the time and place where it is supposed to be. Frank's email that has been replaced incorrectly, seems to be lost.
    I don’t have to explain how unfortunate such random email shuffling is. I shall be thankful for any support and hints. Many thanks,
    Ray Taras

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Cant sign into apple store when installing mac osx lion 10.7

    Hi Cridda7,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to update your Apple computer but when you attempt to access the Mac App Store, you receive an alert that the store is temporarily unavailable. In this situation, I would recommend the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article. The steps will be the same as if you were troubleshooting this alert for the iTunes Store. 
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support

  • Finding a cable to link stylewriter 1200 to mac mini

    i'm trying to find a way of linking a stylewriter 1200 to my mac mini; the serial port on the stylewriter is a round one, similar to the port on an old pre-usb mac, rather than the standard squarish connections that I've seen on typical usb to serial cables.Any ideas/help please?

  • Just updated to Firefox 4.0 and can't download former 3.6 version as suggested by others...what can I do since I have Mac OSX 10.4.11 and can't download older Firefox version?

    When I went to the website suggested in the forum to download the older 3.6 version of Firefox, there was nowhere I could click to download this older version. Firefox recommends and had a place to click on downloading 4.0. How can I get the best of both without having to upgrade my Mac OSX? Please send me a reply ASAP! Thanks!

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • Can not install photoshop CS2 on Mac OSX. 10.9.5, It shows "error" no error number, suggest to contact the software supplier, only choice is to quit.

    I tried to install Photoshop CS2 on Mac, OSX, 10.9.5.
    By the end of the installation, it shows, error, but no error number for reference,
    The only choice is "quit".
    Please help

    That is correct Das_Sad.  CS2 will not run on Intel based processors under Mac OS.  You will need to find a Mac computer with a PowerPC processor if you wish to run Creative Suite 2.
