Dial-up with the latest iMacs

I'm recommending that my Dad buy an iMac for his next computer purchase. But he's retiring in a few months and the last he knew, there was no internet faster than dial-up available at his retirement home (barely any wireless signal, and probably satellite internet would be beyond his budget unless the price has come down significantly in the past couple of years since I checked). I was looking on the Apple Store, and I can't find any dial-up modems even available.
Is it even possible any more to have dial-up with a current Mac??? Suggestions?

This is the one Mac-centric vendor OWC sells, so it probably works well with Macs

Apple used to have their own, but they don't seem to make and sell it anymore.

  • Dial-up with the latest AE base station

    A friend lives in an area of Maine with only dial-up service. He is wants to put his new MBP on an in-home wireless network. He currently is connected via a USB modem. Looking at the specs of the latest generation AE Base Station, dial-up seems not to be an option. Perhaps he could plug his USB modem into the AEBS, although I'm not sure this is an option. It seems his best option would be to get a refurbed previous generation AEBS w/modem-antenna. I know 802.11N wouldn't be an option with this set-up, but his source is only dial-up and therefore restricted. What is the best way to go?
    Thanks,
    JH

    The data on the new square AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) indicates that it will NOT support a USB modem for dial-up.

  • When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem.

    When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem. Any suggestions?

    What is the resolution of the picture that you are trying to print?
    Go to Image>resize>image size, read the resolution in px/in, then report back, please.
    Also, are you in a position to try printing with another printer in an attempt to narrow this down?

    You want to write a review about Mountain Lion? I'm not sure that you can write about the OS at the app store - it's not an app. Or are you talking about the online Apple store? If you want to send feedback to Apple, you could use this:

  • The apple coloured ball keeps appearing in photo elements 13 but not in any other programme. I have the latest IMac with plenty storage and ram

    The apple coloured ball keeps appearing in photo elements 13 but not in any other programme including premier elements and organiser. I have the latest IMac  with ample storage and ram

    I believe I have solved the problem.  I have 16mb ram so I went into photo
    preferences and raised to 75% what is available for photo
    I also reduced the cache from 6 to 2.  The last two sessions the coloured
    ball has not appeared.  Hope this might be usefull  to others

  • I recently updated my Mid 2007 iMac with the latest OS 10.8.5 now my external hard drives will not show up. They show up when I boot them up on a machine running and earlier OS. Is there a fix for this?

    I recently updated my 20-inch, Mid 2007 iMac with the latest OS 10.8.5 now my external hard drives will not show up. They show up when I boot them up on a machine running and earlier OS. Is there a fix for this?

    Can you see them in Disk Utility?
    If so, can you select and Mount them?
    If not, disconnect them, reset the iMac's SMC and then reconnect them.
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
    3. Wait fifteen seconds.
    4. Attach the computer's power cord.
    5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    If you still can not see them, connect them back up to the iMac running the older OS, open Disk Utility and look to see how they are partitioned and formatted.

  • My wife has an NOKIA E71 and she syncs with iSync. Everything works well, but when she adds a meeting on her phone, it does appear on the computer after syncing. Anyone? We have an iMac 24" with the latest MAC OS.

    Hello Kerrigaj,
    After a re-install of OS X 10.5.8 uninstalled the E71 in iSync and moved it out of the bluetooth-device list first and completely re-installed it using the bluetooth manager (SystemPreferences/Hardware).
    No extra thirdparty-software involved and ever since no problems.
    Goodluck - hope it works for you.

  • Is anyone having flickering or visual noise issues with the latest 27" iMac (2012-13)?

    Hi everyone,
    I received my 27" iMac a couple days ago via the online store. I've been so busy that I've hardly been on it, but I noticed last night that the entire screen was flickering to black. I looked closely and also noticed that there was very faint visual noise (or "snow") when the display would flicker on. In a panic, I shut down my computer and plugged it into another outlet to see if that could be the problem. I haven't noticed any problems since then, but I am skeptical as the initial incident was so random.
    I have called Apple Care twice and they have been very helpful, but I also heard different versions of what to do: 1) Get an official diagnosis that it is in fact the hardware, and do a straight-up exchange, and 2) take it to an official Apple repair shop.
    Either way, want to know if anyone else has had a similar problem; and if so, is it worth trying to get repaired? The repair shop was suggested because I'm about an hour drive from the nearest Apple retail store (which is frustrating in itself), but I would much rather get it exchanged than go back and forth with diagnostics and repairs.
    Thanks for the help!
    *Disclaimer: I am very satisfied with the Apple Care service I have been given thus far, just frustrated and disappointed that my brand new expensive computer is giving me problems out of the box, and that I'll have to travel to get it replaced. Not to mention I've already installed a bunch of fonts and software! Ugh.

    I'm using a Spyder3Pro with the new iMac and haven't run into problems. I did bring down the brightness three notches before calibrating - that LED is very bright.
    I know there were problems with the previous generation's glossy screens (too bright) but I've gone from the old matte version to this one and I'm loving it.

  • I made a mistake & loaded the version of Firefox (4) that my computer cannot support. Now I am unable to use it. How can I replace it with the latest one I had previously (3.6.20)?

    It's my own fault. I was warned that my old iMac (running only on Tiger) was not capable of receiving Firefox 4. But I did an experiment and tried loading it anyway.
    Now, a disabled version of Firefox, that I cannot open, is the only version of Firefox on my computer. I'm sure it made everything I was using on Firefox disappear!
    Is there some way to replace this disabled version with the latest one I CAN support?

    Downgrading from Firefox 4 to Firefox 3.6.20
    1. Visit ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.20/mac/
    2. Find your language and Open Firefox 3.6.20 folder
    3. Download and install Firefox setup file (3.6.20 dmg)
    You’ll be automatically downgraded to Firefox 3.6.20 and your favorite add-ons, bookmarks and settings will remain untouched.
    thank you

  • The Brightness Gradient Issue DOES EXIST With The 24" iMacs.

    Four years ago I bought a hefty G4 eMac and a few months later the G5 iMac was introduced.
    I was impressed and vowed I would get one the following year, but as each new version was introduced I put it off, waiting for an even better model.
    I spend most of my time on the FCE forum but regularly visited this one to read about the various problems people were experiencing.
    The G5s were prone to overheating, dead or stuck pixels have always been around, and latterly with the aluminium iMacs we have had the gradient issues.
    All my life I have gone for the cheapest item that would do the job, but with the introduction of this latest version I decided to get the "best".
    I bought it last Wednesday and was duly impressed.
    To my relief it appeared to run cool and the screen did not seem to have any of the problems I had read about ........... though I did not examine it minutely.
    Suddenly, yesterday (Sunday) I noticed that the "wallpaper" photo on the screen looked distinctly brighter on the left.
    I put a uniform grey card on and there was no doubt ! I altered backgrounds and even moved my head to view from numerous (unnatural!) angles but the left side was undoubtedly brighter.
    Writing this letter, the difference is very obvious.
    What is more I don't need to test the whole monitor. Viewing a photo that is less than half the screen's width shows a brighter left side.
    This leaves me with 2 questions which now I can never definitely resolve :-
    1. Has the screen been like this for the past 4 days and has my vision suddenly become more discriminating ?
    OR
    2. Has the screen suddenly deteriorated (and will it continue to deteriorate) ?
    I have a nasty feeling it could be number 2 as I had looked at identical pictures in two windows of FCP (side by side), a couple of days ago, and noted that they were of equal brightness! Not so now.
    I mainly use FCE/FCP and Photoshop, but being an amateur, I am not too fussy about the exact shade of a colour. So long as what I am watching is bright and sharp, I am usually content.
    However, I must say that my current emotion is one of disappointment.
    Ian.

    That's very comforting George.
    As you can guess, I was expecting it but thought I had escaped !

  • Has anyone had problems with the latest driver update for the Lexmark printers? My Lexmark printers won't work with the latest driver update.

    Has anyone had problems with the latest Lexmark printer driver update? My Lexmark printers won't work with the latest driver update. If I reinstall an older version of the drivers, they work.

    Mine crashed once with new update, but working fine.
    I had to delete old printer, restart iMac, and then reinstall
    new drivers to get it to work. Would not complete without
    the restart after deleting non-working printer. No problems
    since and all features working.
