Do HP burners w/lightscribe work with Macs?

I need to get a external dvd burner today (deadlines...don't ask) and live in a small town. I can not find a Lacie around anywhere.
I can get a HP w/Lightscribe or I can get a Sony without Lightscribe. The problem is that neither one list that they are compatible with Macs.
I need to know if that is really true, or if they do not put on the box that they will work (seems odd that they would but you never know).
So my questions are:
1. Is anyone using either of these burners with their Mac?
2. Besides Lightscribe, what is another professional level, lasting, way to put labels on these things?
Thanks!

Hello Alexandra,
that's what discussions is for.
To explain the whole thing a bit more in detail: All DVD's (and CD's for that matter) have, what i will just call here a "coated" side and that's the side you can write on for example with a permanent marker. obviously that doesn't look so good, so the industry provides you with two options:
1. lightscribe media, which comes with a special coat. the DVD burner then etches text and images into the coat with the help of a laser. check out this link for more info: http://www.lightscribe.com/
2. printable media wich has a white coating that feels like paper (it's not a label) and can be printed with an ink-jet printer
hope this answers it

Why doesn't LightScribe work with my Snow Leopard?

Why doesn't LightScribe work with my Snow Leopard? It downloaded and is in my printer folder, but won't open.

Are you really still running 10.6.3? If you are you should run the combo update as many issues were resolved within the updates themselves.

BB Desktop Manager no longer works with Mac Maverick - Need Help Urgently

I have been a loyal Blackberry user since the Government of Canada officially began using these cell phones. I feel, however, abandoned by Blackberry (they obviously don't believe that it is easier to retain an existing customer than acquire a new one). I'm using a Blackberry Bold (9900) with a Macbook Pro. Everything was fine until I upgraded my Mac operating system to Maverick; my Blackberry Desktop Manager no longer works, so I cannot sync the content (contacts, calendar) of my phone with my Mac, but that's not the worst of it.
I recently had a momentary lapse and exceeded the 10 password attempts to access my phone... this accidentally wiped my phone clean... and because Desktop Manager does not work with Mac, I do not have a way to recover my data. Rogers was of no help and had Blackberry updated its desktop software months ago, as it should have, this issue would have been moot. I do not know how or why, but I was able to recover most of my data, but I'm not sure just how up-to-date tha data is and am still going through it, but I'm having issues with some functionality.
I'm in the US for several months and have suspended my Canadian services. Prior to the wipe, I was able to use wifi on my phone to send and receive emails with no problem. After the wipe, I can't send emails or bbms. I checked my blackberry internet service and all email accounts are good to go. BBMs are another issue. I need help. Suggestions please.

Apple has ceased synchronization with Mavericks. The issue lies with Apple, not with the desktop software. To mitigate the lack of sync capabilities in Mavericks you can sync your contacts and calender on your Mac with the usual suspects (Yahoo, Google). Create a backup (archive) for Contacts and Calender on your Mac first, then create one of those email accouonts that allow syncing. On your 9900 and with BlackBerry provisioning enabled create the new or existing email account. See which email accounts can sync with BB, I know Yahoo is working fine. For Yahoo, get the Yahoo Calender sync (a few bucks one-off payment required), Contacts sync works off the shelf within BB. If you reset the 9900 you should be able to restore all data with BB DTM. Please note that emails you received during the 9900 reset and the date of restore will not be available on the device. You will still not be able to sync contacts/calender over BB DTM. I hope that helps.

Looking for an app that works with Mac and iPhone that will set calendar reminders of birthdays in contacts.

Hi ron1098,
Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

Tried to download version 4, which replaced old 3.6, but I'm getting a message that version 4 will not work with Mac OS 10 (I have OS 10.4.11). How can I download previous Firefox version?

In context not working with Mac Safari 6.04

Hi there just noticed
in context not working with Mac Safari 6.04, you can edit text, and save and publish but editable marquees are no longer visible especially the repeating elements?

Hi Vicki,
I would suggest submitting a support case on this for further investigation.
Unfortunately I'm on a PC machine so I cannot confirm on my end. Please reach out to direct support ASAP if the issue is still existing.

IPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?

iPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?

At least to 10.6.8. You must do this to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

I had a HP3052 whith a scaner message error 5 which can't print anymore. Anyway scanning with this HP is not supported anymore. So looking into the huge HP compatibility list on the web I see no good choice:

The new HP LaserJet M127fn MFP duplex is not even on this list...
I prefer laser than ink printers (I hate buying cartridges every month or have the system stuck with dry ink when not used for a month).
There are some good brother laserprinters, e.g. MFC7860DW, but PC-Fax doesn't work on Mac (I believe).
Thanks to anybody with some good ideas.

Thanks baltwo, but I am looking for a printer-copier-scanner-fax machine. I think I might go with the brother

mainly because more and more people seem to have bad experiences with HP printers in the $150-$300 range and manufactured in recent years;
and forget about faxing...

The most recent version of the Mac OS is 10.10.1 (Yosemite). Do not wish to update if it will affect my ability to use CS 5.
