Can anyone recommend a greeting card program?

I was disappointed to see how limited the selection was of Mac compatible greeting card maker programs. Can anyone recommend a good one for Mac? Or will I have to boot into Windows to run one of my PC greeting card programs?

I tried The Print Shop 2 and believe it would be unusable for a person that is not computer savvy.
Printshop was the only program I installed on my parents' computer when I bought them one for Christmas a few years back. They were in their late 60's and it was the first computer either had used. (My father had Parkinson's and was close to being home bound, my mother has COPD and limited mobility so I thought email would be great for them.) Anyway, learning email was a snap for them - browsing the Internet took months. But both were creating cards and making posters for church in no time flat. Perhaps you give your mother too little credit.

  • Emergency Can anyone recommend a Solid authoring program?

    Can anyone recommend a Solid authoring program other than Encore? I have just started using Encore CS3 and have run into a lot of bugs. I have used Sonic in the past and found it pretty reliable but have not been shopping around for awhile.
    It needs to be able to burn DVD and Blu-ray discs.
    Thank you!!!

    For DVD authoring, we use Scenarist. It's the first authoring system we used that didn't cause us to miss project deadlines due to peculiar and cryptic errors, or sluggish UI. I can work in Scenarist as fast as I can move the mouse and type on the keyboard. No waiting. We tried numerous other DVD authoring apps from 2001 - 2003 and none of them were reliable enough for commercial production work, plus, discs made with the consumer programs frequently failed to play or function properly on the majority of available DVD players. When we switched to authoring in Scenarist, all problems stopped. You take a 2 week course at Sonic to learn how to use the system and once you grasp how it works, there's nothing else like it.
    Presently, there isn't a market for Blu-ray that justifies Scenarist BDMV, so we're stuck dabbling with Encore, which is like trying to swim in rubber glue. Maybe if the UI were 50X faster than it is now, it would be tolerable to work in, but the present version makes you wait for every mouse click. Move to a different point on the timeline and you could be waiting five or more minutes. Absurd. No such delays with Scenarist--I can navigate around instantly, drop in chapter markers, add multiple angles, do mathematical operators using the GPRMs to control program flow and menu behaviors.. the list is enormous.
    Encore is finicky, won't work on some systems, requires patches and updates to the OS and various parts of the OS subsystem in order to fix several unknown errors, and is just glacially-slow. I have a hunch they make it that way as part of their agreement with Sonic to license some Sonic technology in Encore, otherwise, why would a disc authoring facility spend 125X the price of Encore to author Blu-ray? Crippling the Encore program so it's too slow to be used by anyone in a production environment would make sense, if my hunch is correct. Product segmentation, is what it's called. You cripple the low end product so as not to impinge on the sales of the high end product.

  • How can I get a greeting card program compatible with my MacOS X(10.6.3 ) ?

    I have been using PrintExplosion Deluxe for several years now, and used to make beautiful greeting cards. Now, when I try to use it, it crashes, almost immediately and all is lost. I have not reported it before, however, I just try again. I would like to be able to use it again, or is another mac. greeting card maker that would satisfy my needs. I have purchased Print Master from Broderbund but it is too complicated to make the kind of cards I used to use with PrintExplosion Deluxe. How can I get PrintExplosion Deluxe back to where it is working or is there a more compatible version given my model, MacOS status. Thank you.

    Contact the developer of the program for help with it. As for alternatives you might try looking at VersionTracker or MacUpdate. For example there's:
    The Print Shop
    Easy Card
    which should work with Snow Leopard.

  • Can anyone recommend a powerpoint-like program for mac that is free?

    I cannot afford to spend a fortune on power point but my kids are always needing to do pp presentations for school.  Is there a good free program out there or even one with a lower price point?

    Apple's Keynote (like Power Point) is available by itself through the App store for $19.99, however, you need to be at OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later to access the App store.
    You can also buy the iWork suite, which has Keynote, Numbers (think excel), and Pages (think Word) for $79 from Apple. If being downlevel one release is OK, the iWork '08 package is available through an Amazon vendor for $38.98 which includes shipping.

  • Anyone know of any greeting card program that works with OS  x?

    anyone know of any greeting card program that works with OS X?

    There is no solution. The Canon UFR2 driver used by the MF series does not work when connected to a Windows share or a wireless print server, including the Airport Extreme or Express. The problem is wholly to do with the way in which Canon has written this driver and therefore the Canon support staff should know this and tell you (although their Mac knowledge in Australia is pitiful and most likely the same in your region).
    If you had a model with Ethernet, then you could connect it to the wireless router and print via IP > LPD. But I know that your MF4150 only has USB as I mate of mine had one and he had exactly the same issue on Tiger, which I documented on the Tiger forum and the Airport printing forum.
    So, don't waste your money on a print server. Get rid of the Canon and get something that will work for all your OS's. If I can suggest, the safest purchase would be to get a model that supports Postscript. While this does cost more, it will help to avoid any limitations that can occur when using a vendors proprietary printer language, like Canon's UFR2.

  • Is there a way to get the calculator from the dashboard to appear along with other programs?  Can anyone recommend a calculator which will work as a stand alone app?

    AS it stands now, in order to use the calculator that comes with the Dashboard, you cannot read from a list of numbers in, lets say, word or excel. The dashboard is full screen and nothing can stand along side it. Is there a way to get the calculator from the dashboard to appear along with other programs?  Can anyone recommend a calculator which will work as a stand alone app?

    there is one, just search with spotlight "Calculator".
    It works great!
    Hope this helps.

  • Can anyone recommend a decent, totally free sound equalizer app or program to work across different applications on my Mac?

    Can anyone recommend a decent, totally free sound equalizer app or program to work across different applications on my Mac?
    I am running OS 10.9.2.
    Thanks!

    NeoOffice was a OS X adaptation of OpenOffice because there wasn't a OS X version when the "Mac" came back from the dead basically.
    Sun which owned OpenOffice, was bought by Oracle, which all the developers left finding out Oracle wasn't going to support OpenOffice anymore.
    The developers of OpenOffice went and formed LibreOffice, which got some serious cash donations and now is the new fork of OpenOffice.
    So if you have files in NeoOffice, OpenOffice or Microsoft Office, they will work just fine in LibreOffice.
    LibreOffice is getitng all the attention now that's it's truly "free" and many more developers worldwide are looking at the code and contributing to it.
    So LibreOffice is what you need. It's also cross platform, Linux, OS X or Windows. AND free. (but you should contribute funds)

  • Can anyone recommend a good Mac Calendar, Contact program for the iPhone

    Can anyone recommend a good Mac Calendar, Contact program for the iPhone. The one intalled is hopelessly inadequate and inefficient. 2 Main problems- The current iCal + Contacts programs do not link to each other. And there is no To Do List!
    Palm and MS Outlook had those features 6 years ago! Whats up with Apple?!!

    ical does have a to do list in it. either click the little pin under the calendar, or click show to do list in the view menu.
    i don't know much purpose behind needing to link ical and address book (not that i'm saying it isn't important at all - you obviously have some type of need for it). but it's got to be possible somehow, because you can set ical to make a calendar of birthdays from your address book contacts (in the main preference pane for the application).
    plus, i doubt there'd be another mac calendar application you'd be able to sync with your iphone, unless whoever developed it developed an iphone app to sync it with. probably wouldn't sync with your contacts/calendar apps that come with the iphone.

    Hi
    Do you want to buy an 3G/GPRS WLan PC card?
    Such cards use the PCMCIA port and should work on most notebooks which provide such PCMCIA slot.
    I think you will find many cards if you will googel in the internet.

  • Can anyone recommend me a Northbridge fan replacement?

    I have a MSI K8N Neo4-F nForce4 and recently i have been experiencing random crashes and lock ups which i think are due to the northbridge fan failing (it was making horrible noises).
    I tried to replace this with the Asaka heatsink/fan combination thing but it didn't fit under the graphics card as there is only about 1.5cm vertical space available. Can anyone recommend a replacement suitable for this motherboard? Preferably a cheap one. =)
    Also -i don't know much about chipset- is it safe to run the computer without a northbridge fan installed assuming i don't do anything intensive like games or whatever?
    Thanks in advance.

    I was sniffing around some other forums,(as you do), when I came across this post. It sounds intresting, and may be worth giving it a try.

    "Repair your noisy cpu and system fans
    This is a fix that will last for a long, long time.
    Buy some graphite powder and some oil at an auto or hardware store. They come in different packages. For oil, the best is the pen-type as they are easy to handle and only give a small amount at a time. Just about any oil in a pen format will work fine. The graphite powder comes in small plastic tubes. But make sure you get graphite powder, not graphite oil, its too thin for this job! So you need graphite powder in a small tube and oil in a round "pen" that can be squeezed out and placed just where you need it. Also, when the oil is used up in the "pen" you can open it and add your own oil.
    First, clean the fan blades off real well. If you have a heatsink with the fan then clean the heatsink off as well. You can even use a bit of your oil and some q-tips for cleaning if needed. Then, take the small circle, it usually has a name on it, but its in the middle of the fan. Peel one edge up carefully and put a very small amount of oil in where you lifted the label up. Now add some graphite powder in the same place where you put the oil, add as much or a bit more of the graphite powder than the oil. Clean off excess oil and graphite and push the label back where it was. You may need a very small amount of duct tape to hold the label in position and to prevent leakage. This is important if the fan is going to "sit up" as opposed to lying flat.
    Now put the fan back where you want it and when it starts spinning it may be noisy for a few seconds until the graphite\oil works its way in. Then it will stop and it will stay stopped for many years and you may very well not need to buy a new fan after all!
    I experimented a lot with this and this is the very best way to quiet all those fans and have them work well. I have always been a big fan of those removable ide hard drive trays that you can buy. But the fans are the pits, they get noisy real fast. So i had to find a way to fix them as they are very expensive and hard to replace. Now i don't have to. Combo of oil and graphite is the very best, by far. One caution, graphite stains worse than
    oil, so be careful! I'm talking about staining your clothes and hands.
    You can use this system with all CPU fans, video card fans, system fans, and even fans inside power supplies. But one word of caution, its easy to open a power supply and take out the fan, but do be careful as there are voltages there can can hurt you badly. If you don't know what you are doing then wear rubber gloves to get the fan out and to put the fan back in after the
    repair!
    Trust me, this will work. If the fan spins my method will work for years and I have even fixed fans that were stuck and wouldn't spin! This is better done with the fan on the table but in those cases where you cant or don't want
    to take the fan out of the system, that's where the "pen" with the needle comes in again, but i still find a way to get some graphite in as well, graphite is what makes the oil last a long time! And graphite is also an oil, but you need both together for maximum effectiveness. Oil by itself will only last a few weeks or so and then evaporate, and the fan will get noisy again. Its the graphite powder that does the long term job. The oil really only helps to spread the graphite powder around really well so the graphite can do the job!
    Hope you do as well as i have with this info!"
    End Quote.
    Edit - Additional Info
    The type of northbridge fan used on some MSI boards, eg K8N Platinum & Diamond etc, require that you remove the fan from the board first (you will have to remove the motherboard to do this). This is because the top of the shroud is attached from the bottom by two tiny Phillips type screws. Once you have removed the shroud, very gently prise off the fan from the motor assembly. There is no need to try and remove the three other tiny screws that secure the fan motor in place to the bottom half of the shroud. Once removed, you will see that under the fan is a small plastic pin that holds the sleeve bearing in place.

  • Looking for a for an all-in-one printer that is compatible with greeting card programs..​.

    looking for a for an all-in-one printer that is compatible with greeting card programs...my original one was an HP PSC  1510...replaced it with a Deskjet 1050 & it does not work...any suggestions?

    I bought an epson xp650 a couple of months ago and cannot fault it. It does everything I require and it is the wifi model so I can print directly from my ipad/iphone. Not sure if you are asking about the colour of the unit or just to be able to print black and white, Obviously all printers will print black and white but just to give you a little more info the printer I bought is the white version and it looks really nice sat next to my imac 27''
    Hope this helps.

  • Can anyone recommend a product to delete duplicate songs?

    I now 20,445 duplicate songs I need to clean up. I cannot possibly imagine doing this manually, nor can I delete my library and start over b/c burning the whole thing was entirely too cumbersome to begin with. I've heard of some products like Dupe Eliminator that can do this for you, but I'm not too tech savvy and am afraid this could inadvertently delete my entire library.
    Can anyone recommend a product to remove duplicates from my hard drive?

    Yes, you can use the program I wrote to do it for you.
    I recommend you backup your Library file first (not all the music files themselves, just the Library files in <pre>My Documents\My Music\iTunes\</pre>
    Download the "EXE" file from here:
    http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/index.html#itunesremoveduplicates
    It will download as a ZIP. Open the ZIP and run the EXE (teridonsitunesscripts.exe). From the menu, select itunesremoveduplicates (15).
    When asked, select the Library playlist (number 1).

  • Can anyone recommend a USB print server for both Mac & Windows?

    After spending at least 20 hours trying to get my Macbook to print to a Windows XP shared printer, I am giving up and going the print server route. Unfortunately there seem to be a LOT of options and some are >$100. I want to be sure to find one that works for both Mac and Windows XP. Can anyone recommend a print server based on experience?
    It can be hard-wired to the network (does not need to be wireless) and only needs one USB port. Also, it does not need to be "multi-function" compatible.
    Thanks in advance!

    Unfortunately, Apple just started using the CUPS printing system ~4 years ago. With CUPS drivers, you can print to all the standard comm protocols, the way drivers work in Windows. But except for Brother's, NO non-postscript printer driver on OS X was written to use CUPS. Instead they are using Carbon, the OLD OS 9 legacy programming interface. In that, they get to specify exactly which protocol is supported - and that's nearly always ONLY USB.
    So, we have to rely on third party CUPS drivers. See if Gutenprint supports yours:
    http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
    or else, you may need to use printfab:
    www.printfab.net
    About print servers - they nearly all support "standard" protocols, which OS X (with CUPS drivers) can print to.
