Can someone recommend a good multi-function scanner/printer/copier that works with Mac OS 10.6.8?

I've just purchased a Canon Image Class MF4570dn. Very disappointed to find that whatever I do I cannot get the scanner to work & the Apple support board is of no help.
It seems like there is a conflict with OS 10.6.8 that does not let the scanner get recognized by any scanning software -- either the Mac native software in Preview or the Canon software included on CD with the box & via download from Canon's site. The Canon software is called "MF Toolbox" but for the life of me I can't get it to start without instantly crashing!
Any suggestions of set-ups that are working with you on a similar system set-up would be much appreciated!

This is discouraging! I ended up trying Canon because my Macbook Pro suddenly stopped recognizing my previous HP scanner -- a MF inkjet printer.
I have been looking at HP multi-function lasers in lieu of this faulty Canon I just returned.
I intend to be doing very simple things with whatever MF unti I end upw ith -- no printing or scanning over the network. I'm happy to connect it directly to my computer via USB. So I'm not sure I'd experience the problems you are having.
Maybe I should go w/ one of these Brother units? Is there anyone on this board that can attest to these machines working with MacBook Pros?

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.

How can I make an icon that links to a webpage that works with Mac and Windows??

Hi!
I burn CDs with my photos and send them to clients. Besides the photos folder, I would like to include a file (similar to the .webloc files on the Mac Desktop) that can be clicked and it will be linked to my website - it will open up a browser window and go to my website . Is it posssible to make one of these icons that works with both Macs and Windows machines? Thanks!

Now it works! Thanks, Denico!
The reason I saved to text: The first time I followed your instructions, it did not work. I tried to figure out what I did wrong and saw that you wrote to "save as plain text." I did not know what this means and there was no option available to save a plain text. So I looked around and saw "save as stationery" and I guessed that maybe that was what you meant. And after that, it worked! But the next thing you know, the icons started duplicating themselves.
I guess I had made a different mistake in the beginning and I fixed it without knowing what it is.
Thanks for clearing that up.
But just one question. WHY does saving as "stationery" make an icon duplicate itself?

Can anyone recommend a GOOD film/photo scanner??? ANYONE???

I need to purchase a good film/photo scanner to scan tons of old 35mm negatives and want to be able to scan prints also. Need compatible with Tiger 10.4.7. Have zillions of old negatives to scan so that is the main purpose. What is the best quality, easiest and most reliable film/photo scanner you recommend? I've been looking at the cannon Canoscan 9950F...anyone have any experience with this scanner? Have heard HP software is bad...Can anyone offer any advise as to what type of equipment you would recommend for my needs? I appreciate all your help!!!!! Gary

Hello, Edward,
I have an Epson Perfection 2480 and it has been great for scanning my old photos....haven't done slides yet.
However, I was interested in how many photos you have scanned in the past 3 years because I have probably scanned in over 5000 photos. I think the scanner may have reached its limitation. I have begun to notice some fine lines down some of my scanned photos.
I had this happen with my previous HP scanner. The HP had one of those flat wide ribbons that moved under the glass and after about 8000 photos scans, the ribbon track seemed to be burned into the glass and would show up faintly on each scan.
So, I opted for the Epson. When I told someone at the store that I had scanned over 8000 photos on the HP, he said he'd never heard of anyone scanning that many photos! I cannot find any information regarding what might be the limit for scanning.
So, just asking your opinion.....!

Can someone recommend some good Impulse Responses!

Hi,
i need some really good impulse libraries. i am not really happy with the default pack from space designer. i have just acquired a license of waves ir-1 but i use space designer the most. at least till now.
any thoughts ?
thanks -
curtis

I have just bought an amazing IR set. It is an emulation of the famous EMT 245 Reverb. The library is huge and offers the best impulse responses that I have ever heard. The lib is compatible with space designer and all other ir plugs.
Here's a link where you can also listen to demos.

I want to I create PDFs on my new Macbook Pro, can someone recommend a good software program via apple store?

I want to create PDFs on my new Mac Pro, can someone recommed a download from Apple IStore?

The Mac OS has built-in PDF generation. Anthing you can print, you can create a PDF.
In some apps like Preview, you can do "Save as..." to create the PDF:
In other apps you have PDF options at the bottom left of the "Print..." dialog box:
Basically you have no need to spend money to create simple PDFs.

Recommendations for a Scanner that works with Mac OS 10.6.4

Hi: I bought my first iMac back in February 2010 and have really been enjoying it. However, I would like to know a good scanner to scan mostly pictures. Any recommendations are welcome.
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Any Scanner that supports TWAIN should work fine. Look for that when reviewing scanners. I have an HP multifunction printer that has a scanner and that works fine for me. Although if you are looking for a photo scanner then there are others perhaps better suited for the task out there.
Here is a nice list of reviews: http://www.macworld.com/products/input_devices/scanners.html

you must be kidding... you have to PAY extra to get phone
support with
them and THEN they call you back within (supposedly) 24hrs...
they -
pardon the french - suck.
Speaking from many years of experience with them.
MidPhase.com is better than DH. They DO have 24/7/365 phone
and email
support but as is true with most companies, that is level one
tech
support.... they'll kick your issue up to level 2, if needed,
but that
becomes email support.
But if you send a lot of clients their way, you can get in
with a
manager type and get direct support. That's what I do.
Call up and ask for Jude (Matt Berry) ....
They have several hosting companies under one umbrella. I
typically go
with $6.95 a month ANHosting

Can someone recommend a good soundcard

I recently upgraded from a G4 Tower to G5 Tower. My old soundcard is PCI, my new computer's sys board is PCI Express. I've been looking for a decent PCI Express soundcard, but am having no luck. I'll be running Logic through it, and would like it to have 4 analog in/outs. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi Aron, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I've never seen anything like that for G5/PCIe Macs, the closest I can think of would be to maybe find one of these used on eBay, and it may only have output...

Can someone recommend a good mail program?

I understand this might not be the best place to post this but I wasn't sure where else to post it.
Basically, I run a business. I currently use Outlook 2007 through Parallels to organise my mail, create follow-up reminders on mail that comes in, send out template based emails and so on. I have Office 2004 for my Mac and Entourage is nowhere near as good as Outlook for this kind of thing. Also it makes my templates look rather odd when I send them out. Same problem with Mail.
Some people may ask why I am looking for something else if I am happy with what I have. The reason being is it just seems stupid to run Parallels and Windows XP for the sake of using Outlook 2007. I am happy with Excel and Word 2004 on my Mac and would rather run my mail through OS X as well.
If anyone has any suggestions I would be happy to hear them.
Many thanks.

BTW, it installs lots of files in several Unix directories. If you decide to get rid of it be sure to do a thorough search for all that it installs besides the application in the Applications folder. Spotlight has to be specifically configured to search in those directories or use Easy Find - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Can someone recommend a good SQL book

I'm looking for a book that starts at the beginner/intermediate level and goes all the way to very advanced stuff, the whole nine yards. Anyone?

Oracle 8i (9i) Complete Reference. It's pretty simple, easy to read, and provides simple example to get you to understand the syntax....some SQL are Oracle specific..but I don't think there is a generic SQL tutorial book (it will use some vendor SQl language)..however, afeter learing ONE SQL..it's simple to learn another (they're actually almost the same..if they complied to the Ansi SQl standard????).

Can someone recommend a good wireless usb adapter for an iMac?

I would rather use a wireless usb adapter instead of having to purchase an airport card. Thanks a lot in advance for your assistance,
Christine

This is the discussion area for Intel-based iMacs. Since you have an iMac G5 you probably want to make any future posts in the iMac G5 discussion area.
Its probably cheaper to get an AirPort Extreme card but you might want to take a look at www.macwireless.com

Can someone recommend a good app for learning to type on a MBP?

I have used Mavis Beacon previously on a PC and found it to be OK. Searching the web I haven't come across any conclusive reviews. Does anyone have hands on experience? I need to increase my typing speed and accuracy and spending so much time on a computer you realise how inefficent two+ finger typing is.

When you need software there are two places to go:
The Mac App Store which provides some user feedback, and
Macupdate which provides lots of feedback and also links to alternate similar software with ratings.
Peter
btw Mavis Beacon was originally a Mac application and is still for the Mac.

Web host recommendations (that works with Mac IMAP Mail)

hi all.
i did a lot of research and moved my sites to a HostGator and after going through all this effort i have been finding my sites are being shut down due to an issue where my IMAP email is pinging their servers and when they see 25 pings (or whatever) they shut down my site.
i have been through an excructiating two months of unchecking IDLE settings, unchecking Push and being told to move to POP (not an option for obvious reasons) and/or alternatively being told it is Mac Mail's fault. i have also been told not to check my email. in order to get a plan where checking my email on HostGator does not result in the shutting down of my website i am being told i have to sign up for a plan that is two and a half times more expensive per month than my previous plan.
i am at the point where it appears the easiest solution may be to get rid of my laptop or my iphone.
anyone have a good recommendation on a new host provider so i can get free of these guys?
TIA

hi scott. thanks a lot for the post here. /so/ glad to hear from someone that is also having this issue.
i was not aware that postbox was still alive. i purchased this software and found that there were functionalities that had controls in the UI which were not operable and that some of the tools were very buggy. then they closed the forums so you could not talk to other users and then eventually they stopped providing me support. in any event, i have been thinking about installing and going back to Thunderbird so do you mind if i ask you some follow ups here?
i have about ten email addresses which sort of complicates things i think as it is uber helpful to know where i am getting an email to. i mean, one of my email addresses is "[email protected]" (super important to me) while others are to other addresses. also, i have two domains so if i just send everything to one address this is a bit confusing.
/anyway/ i /tried/ setting an "[email protected]" and set up forwarding in the CPanel to this "all@" address. then i simply put this one "all@" domain in my email client. for some reason i think this created duplicates in some cases. do you happen to know if FORWARDING as you describe means it will show up in BOTH the forwarded email address and in the ORIGINAL account? i mean, presumably the fact that you have the GMAIL account on your iphone means that this email gets forwarded to this GMAIL address (in my case /all/ my email addresses could get forwarded to this GMail address) but it ALSO shows up in your email client when you enter your email addresses INDIVIDUALLY?
do you know what i mean? i mean it sounds like you are suggesting (again really helpful) that i get my email in bulk on my iphone with all of them forwarded to this GMail address but if i ditch Mail and set up a client that presumably limits processes that i can get the mail individually on my laptop and on my desktop, yes?
