Do I need to buy Fax machine or some Fax software?

I have a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6 installed. Our home phone(local phone service) removed and only DSL line with Qwest. Two iPhones with AT&T service. And have a printer of Epson Artisan 700 (Fax function is not included).
Do you have some recommendation what would be good choice for fax receiving & sending?
Thanks in advance for help!

Blue Sky,
There is a post located at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12003256 that should help you out. There does seem to be an app for the iPhone called finarxfax that is available for download that you can use to send a fax. Otherwise there are quite a few online services that will send a fax for you, like eFax.com. Let me know how it goes for you.

What do i need to buy for Time Machine to work . i want to backup my mac

Hi i want to back up my macbook pro and im not sure how to do it. But i know you use time machine. What do i need to buy. Also somthing about airport utility

I have a 512GB internal and use a 2Tb external for my Time Machine backups. Unless you choose to go with one of Apple's Time Capsules (which I wouldn't) you can get a good drive that has 2-3x your internal disk capacity with multiple ports from a variet of vendors. I have two of these G-Drives from Amazon and love them. One a 1Tb and one a 2tb.
For everything you ever wanted to know about Time Machine, check out Pondini's FAQs - http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html.
Good luck - call back with any questions...

HT1338 Do I need to buy mackeeper to clean up my machine?

Do I need to buy mackeeper to clean up my machine?

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

Is there a machine I need to buy for illustrator to print on clothes?

Is there a machine I need to buy for illustrator to print on clothes?

Like Steve said, yes you need a printer ad it will depend on the type of shirts you are talking about. A popular method is thermal transfer, traditional method is silk screen, and there are some inkjet printers that can print direct on fabric and then the pieces are sewn together post printing. Typically you create the artwork in Illustrator and then send it to the output device ( printer ). What type of garments are you planing to produce?

What do I need to buy in order for my iPod Classic 160GB to connect with my blue tooth speaker

What do I need to buy in order for my IPod Classic 160 GB to connect with my blue tooth Ultimate Ears Boom speaker?

Upgrading RAM and your HD will give you some performance gains, but depending on what you are doing, it may not be enough. Your best friend will always be processor speed. This has a direct relation to how many cores and the speed of the RAM.
However, if you are unable to spring for a new computer, then the options of running more RAM and a biggger, faster HD should ruduce some bottle necks.
Here is a site where you can check out what your computer can handle http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade They have some charts comparing speed gains with various components.
Are you using the track freeze option to manage the track count and subsequent demands on your machine?

I aam thinking of changing from a PC to a Mac. Will I need to buy a new Apple compatible version of Lightroom, do I have to pay to upgrade or can I get the new version free?

I am thinking of changing from a PC to a Mac. Will I need to buy a new, Apple compatible, version of Lightroom, or can I upgrade to it, or can I get it free as I've paid for the PC version?

Your licence is not platform specific, so Lightroom can be used on any two machines (Mac and/or WIndows), with one actually being used at any given time.
So no, you're money's safe!

Opinions - time for a new computer? need more RAM, Time Machine back up full - get new computer?

I am in a quandary. My early 2008 iMac needs more Ram. I could upgrade from 2gb to 4gb for around $60. My 1T external hard drive for Time Machine is full and I do not relish the idea of it erasing old data if I continue to use it this way, but then I am shelling out more money for a new hard drive. Can get new 3T hd for about $200. Is it worth it to shore up my computer? I have recently upgraded OS to ML and it is really starting to act sluggish. I hate the idea of having to transfer everything over to a new Mac and therefore new OS. I need a working computer every day for business for my husband, so it would be impossible to go without a computer while things are being transferred over - and how long would it take for me to do that. Plus, will files and photos be transferred over exactly as I have organized them? I have spent a lot of time organizing bookmark folders in Safari, mailboxes in Mail and albums and folders in iPhoto. Don't want to start from scratch again. Also don't like the idea that the new iMacs don't have a slot for dvds and cds, playing and burning. I do a lot of this kind of thing. So then I would need to buy a separate thing for doing this as well as the computer itself. Have wondered how many things have changed from ML to Maverick. Another big learning curve???
Would really appreciate any thoughts and opinions. I am a senior citizen and don't know how to sort through this. One thing I think about is that I don't know how much longer I will be living and able to do computer work. I know everything is a risk, but would like some advice even if it is only an opinion.

It's probably time for a new machine. You won't have to start from scratch. Migration Assistant will bring over all of your data and apps (some may need to be re-activated using product keys). Depending on how much you actually have, a few hours should be all it takes over Ethernet.
Time Machine should continually erase the oldest backups when it needs space for new ones.
You might want to do both. Upgrade the RAM in the old machine to the max it will take, and buy a new machine as well. If your husband really needs a machine available all the time for business, having a 'spare' is a good thing.
Check out what's available in the refurb store. They are virtually indistinguishable from new retail stock and come with a full warranty. You can save hundreds.

Do I really need to buy an external drive to burn DVDs on my eMac (10.4)?

I have been trying to burn DVDs (using DVD-Rs, not DVD+Rs) on my eMac (OS 10.4) without success. The machine just acts as if nothing has been put in the drive; it whirrs and whirrs, no icon appears, no error message, nothing, until after half an hour or so I have to just eject it. On another forum, I was told that the problem was probably that my eMac can't recognize blank DVD-Rs, let alone burn them, without an external drive that has to be purchased separately. I want to be sure that's really true before buying anything, needless to say!
Another string on this forum suggested looking under "optical drive" under "About This Mac" to find out this kind of thing. I see nothing that specifically says "optical drive," but under Hardware and Disc Burning, it says:
HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4481B:
Firmware Revision: 2.05
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw
Media: No
Is this enough information for someone to please be able to tell me whether I do indeed need to buy an external disc drive before I can burn DVDs?
(And, if so, what kind of drive is recommended?)
Thanks in advance for any help.

While you can replace the intenal drive, opening up an eMac is not a trivial process and it's far easier to add an external drive. Go with Firewire rather than USB, even if your eMac is USB 2.0; support for Firewire under OS X is better and more stable.You can get a Firewire enclosure for around US$30 to $40 and a bare DVD-RW/CD-RW for about the same; or buy a complete system for around US$130 to $200 depending on features such as third-party burning software (Toast) or built-in label making with special DVD-R or CD-R blanks (LightScribe). OS X 10.3.3 and higher (which of course includes the 10.4 in your profile) includes native support for DVD-R burning, so you don't strictly need third-party software such as Toast, but Toast is more flexible than the built-in burner and allows for packing more data on a disc since Toast has better control over the disc's directory size. LightScribe is an appealing idea, but slow, and the blanks are expensive. When consideringf whether to roll your own, so to speak, with an enclosure and bare drive, don't overlook that you'll need a good-quality Firewire cable; cheap cables can cause a surprising amount of grief. Unless you have a bare DVD-RW drive handy, I persoanlly find the convenience of a commercial drive, with cable and power supply/cord already packaged together, outweighs the savings of assembling a drive yourself. I'm partial to LaCie D2 Firewire drives myself, but there are other models that work fine.

I'm running on Mac OS X 10.5.8. Do I need to buy snow leopard first before upgrading to Mountain Lion?

I'm running on Mac OS X 10.5.8. Do I need to buy snow leopard first before upgrading to Mountain Lion?

Make sure your machine meets the minimum system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
Although it says 2 GB RAM is the minimum, it's generally recommended to have at least 4 GB unless you only use your machine for "light" use (no movie editing/burning, etc).

I have three macs... Do I need to buy 3 separate upgrades for lion at $29.99?

i have three macs... Do I need to buy 3 separate upgrades for lion at $29.99?

No... Because it is distributed via the Mac App Store, it falls under the Mac App Store rules.. Which should mean that you can install it on up to 5 machines that you own.

DG4ODBC is available for linux 64bit, but i need to buy ODBC driver??

Hi guys,
I need to connect to Microsoft SQL Server from Oracle rdbms 10.2.0.3 on linux_64bit platform and I've read that HSODBC DOES NOT AVAILABLE ON 64BIT PLATFORM.
So DG4ODBC can run with Oracle Version 10.2.0.3 (patch 5965763 is mandatory) but the Note:561033.1 says to buy a ODBC vendors driver..
I don't understand, i need to install DG4ODBC for Heterogeneous Connectivity but it works only throught other ODBC vendor driver? so i need to buy ODBC license for my aim.
There isn't any workaround for it? some opensource driver or method for connect to external SQL server without any cost effort?
thanks very much!
Andrea

Yes, you are right. DG4ODBC offers only the option to connect to the foreign database using an ODBC driver; but there is NO ODBC driver shipped with it.
There are some ODBC drivers outside (like freetds.org) for free, but there is no guarantee it will work with DG4ODBC as they commonly do not offer the functionality like a commercial ODBC driver from DataDirect or Easysoft does.
If you do not want to pay for a commerical ODBC driver then think about moving DG4ODBC to the SQL Server or any other 32bit Windows machine as you can then here use the SQL Server ODBC driver shipped with the OS or with the MDAC.
DG4ODBC is now a gateway and thus independant from the Oracle database (another improvement compared to HSODBC).
You can then connect from the database on Linux to the gateway on Windows which uses the SQL Server ODBC driver for Windows and connects to the SQL Server.

Do I need to buy multiple copies of FCP to get QMaster to work?

Hi all,
To do a quick-batch from Compressor, do I need to buy two copies of FCP Studio?
I tried a Quickbatch for the first time across my two machines. (Yes I DO have the same installation of FCP Studio on both machines... what was I gonna do, buy a new copy of Studio when I upgraded to a G5?) But I digress...
I set up QMaster on both machines, launched a batch from within compressor on my G5, then I saw FCP automatically start to launch on the G4 and (of course) the process interrupted because FCP saw the same serial number on the network.
I have no idea why FCP launched on the G4.... but it was fun to see something happening.
So, am I screwed? Am I supposed to buy two copies of the software to use the node rendering?

We talked to a tech at apple before we made a purchase of 4 quads, and he told us that we do not need fcp on each. Also called pro video suppport and they said the same thing. But I have just finished setting up the cluster, and when I export to the cluster directly from fcp, the batch fails almost instantly. If I enable only one of the nodes (this one has FCP on it) in the cluster, when I export from FCP on a workstation, FCP opens up on the node and starts doing it's thing, but adding any nodes without fcp it fails. So I'm starting to think you do need fcp on every node. Or I may just be doing something wrong, who knows. Will be on the phone with apple monday.

NW65SP5 - SP7 or SP8 do I need to buy a new licence?

Hi
I have NW65 on SP5. I am considering upgrading to either SP7 or SP8. On Novell's SP8 page it says
"Evaluating NetWare 6.5 SP8
The software you download includes a full license. You can install NetWare 6.5 SP8 on a virtual machine or on a physical server. You are authorized to evaluate the product for 90 days after which Novell requires you to either purchase the OES 2 product or uninstall NetWare."
So do I take that to mean:
If I don't own NW65 then I can evaluate the software and then buy it 60 days later, BUT, if I DO own NW65 then SP8 will simply upgrade me, and I will continue to work fine and I don't need to buy a new licence?
Or does it mean, whether I own NW65 or not then I will need to buy a new licence after 60 days?
Or should I just stick with SP5?

In addition to what I, Massimo, and Simon said, there are several post

Does Tiger need Fax software to send and receive faxes?

I need an inexpensive way to receive faxes. I will be buying a usb modem, likely the Apple modem. Do I need to also purchase fax software or does Tiger make it possible to send and receive faxes?

I found out from another query that yes I can send and receive faxes by going to the Print/Fax icon in System Preferences.

Do I need to buy Fax machine or some Fax software?
