Drawing software for Lion

Can anyone recommend a drawing program (either CAD or general drawing)
that is compatible with Lion?
Thank you for any suggestions.

... what are you trying to draw?
CAD is great for drawing geometric structures like buildings or machines.
Autodesk Sketchbook is pretty intuitive for a novice and and pro 2-d illustrator/user.
I frankly use Photoshop for all my 2-d needs and switch over to mudbox/maya for 3-d

Scanner and Software for Lion with document feeder to Scan thousands of photos

I have an older HP PhotoSmart Print 7280 that can scan photos. On the PC HP had software that would allow you to scan through the document feeder and batch correct/crop the photos before creating files. This printer/scanner doesn't have HP software for Lion. I am looking for a Scanner or Software solution that will allow me to scan through the feeder and to crop in batches. I have used Image Capture on the Mac to scan. It work great to crop and edit photos if you put them them on the flatbed. You can load 3 photos and it will allow you to crop them and to make them individual files. However if you use the "feeder" setting it treats what you are scanning as a document and you don't have the ability to edit/crop before accepting the files. So what you get are images that have a lot of white space around them.
I am looking for a solution that would allow me to do this in a quicker manner than 3 photos at a time on the flatbed. I Don't rule out buying a new all in one printer to do this. I also looked into other scanning software like VueScan, but it doesn't appear to have a batch edit/crop mode after running through the feeder.
Any advice on how to attack this would be great.
Thanks

That should be easy to fix with something like SintraWorks PDF Nomand or PDF Clerk Pro.

Scanner software for lion os?

I need Microtek Artix F1 scanner software for Lion. Any suggestions?

Check VueScan to see if it covers your scanner. Have you checked the Microtek site to see if they have a compatible driver? Or use the Snow Leopard driver you have been using. It may still work.

Free presentation software for lion

Is there Remote Desktop Software for Lion?

I have been using RDC 2.1.1 to connect to my PC at work. However, after an Exchange server upgrade, it doesn't work anymore. I went looking for a newer version and could only find versions compatible with iOS devices, not computers. Then I looked at Apple discussions under RDC (which I cannot find now) and saw that someone recommended CoRD as not only free (RDC apparently now has a charge) but also better than RDC. I downloaded it but cannot figure out how to connect because it does not seem to have any input areas for usernames, passwords, etc. It's pretty darn bare. Can someone tell me what to do with it?
On another discussion, someone recommended Software Update to get a newer version of the RDC. But when I open RDC, there is no software update option. Unless the person meant Apple's software update, in which case it would have done that automatically during one of the regular updates.
I'm running the latest version of Lion on an iMac.

Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac shouldn't be affected by an Exchange server upgrade in any way. If RDC no longer connects to your work system, then your network adminstrators have probably made a change to your network, perhaps to a firewall, and you'll need to sort it out with them. RDC 2.1.1 works on my system, though I find it slower than other options for connecting to Windows systems. RDC 2.1.1 is the latest version available, by the way, and is still free.
If you want to try CoRD, though, information how to set it up can be found it it's Help files. You can also ask for help in the CoRD forum:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/cord/viewforum.php?f=1
As to Software Update, I think either you or the other person was confused, and was referring to Apple Remote Desktop, a completely different product. You cannot update Microsoft software through Software Update in Mac OS X. n

3d drawing software for mac

It appears that Sketchup does not work well on my new MacBook Pro with Mavericks. Can someone recommend a piece of software that works well, as does Sketchup on a PC? I use it for woodworking projects.
Thanks!

Thank you all for your suggestions. Unfortunately, none of these seem to do what Sketchup does for designing woodworking projects. What is needed is a very simplified version of something like Solidworks. Sketchup sort of does this.
It does not need to be free, but APPLE, WHY DO YOU NOT PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SKETCHUP-TYPE DRAWING PACKAGE?
Again, than you all for your ideas. For now I will resurrect my old PC and use its very capable Sketchup code.

Best graphic design (page layout & drawing) software for my mac?

I've used CoredDraw professionally on my pcs from version 1.0 and always found it pretty intuitive. I'm retired now, but always seem to need to do a little something graphic. My house burned down with all my computer equipment and software. I migrated to the mac world on advice from my son. I'm pretty happy with my computer but CorelDraw is not available for mac. I don't want to spend a ton of money. Any suggestions.

Welcome Gloria!
Sorry to hear about your loss.
What iMac do you have? You list your OS as "10.0.x" and that version is so old that you cannot get modern programs that will run on it. We need to find out if you have a newer model Mac because this forum covers older iMacs made before 2006.
Do "About this Mac" from you Apple menu. Looks like this:
If the "Processor" info shows "Intel" as in the example, you iMac is much newer thatn those this forum covers and, if someone fails to notice, you could be advice only appropriate to six year-old Macs. Also note that this window gives you the exact version fo teh Mac OS you have. If it is not 10.0.something, please considering editing your profile info to reflect that OS versio. It will save time in getting help with future questions
If this is a new Intel iMac, they have a separate forum that gets more traffic here:
iMac (Intel)
You will probably get more appropriate answers for you model by reposting there if you have an Intel-based iMac.

I have snow leopard. My iTunes is 10.6.3, which is the current software for OS 10.6.8. The new iPhone 5 requires iTunes 7! Does this REALLY mean I'll be forced into purchasing either Mountain Lion?

I have not ugraded, but I can on 1 of my apples, to Mountain Lion. Much of the software I use is not compatible, or the compatible version is unacceptable (Quicken, etc.).
iTunes is 10.6.3, and it says it is the CURRENT software for my system.
The new iPhone 5 requires iTunes 7.
I may be dense, but is there no way around this problem other than upgrading to Mountain Lion? Maybe it is a strategy to sell more computers? In any case I may simply bypass the new iPhone. That isn't what would be the ideal scene, but it's an option.
Any thoughts on Apple coming up with a solution and having the iPhone 5 at least partially compatible with iTunes 10.6.3? Like they did with iCloud?
Thanks,

iTunes 10.7 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
You can download it here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/

I have a dual boot lab that I set up for a school. The partitions consist of Mountain Lion OSX and Windows 7 Ent. I use bootpicker software for choosing the operating system at startup. When I select the windows partition, it take just under 2 minutes from selection to the windows login screen. It seems to take incredibly long for the mac to "shut down and hand over the operating system to windows.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get this timing faster?
Thanks for any ideas/input

The only suggestion I can make is to look ar ReFind (previuosly ReFit). Startup mamangement is one of its features.
But
It is very powerful so test it for yourself before deploying it. Some of the functions are best kept out of the hands of the curious, or 'playful'
And you never answered this question.
Tell me what the needs are, do the users always need to choose Windows or is this a variable?

Installation Software for HP Laserjet P1006 on Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion

I just need installation software for the HP Laserjet P1006 for OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. The CD which was originally used doesn't work for Mountain Lion. I have only another HP printer on the network (OfficeJet Pro 8600) and need to reinstall software to make the HP LaserJet P1006 work again. The original driver software was inadvertently deleted. I've bee through the Support pages but none address this particular issue.

The battery will run UP TO 7 hours.
The run time depends on what you are doing.
Anything that puts a heavy load on the CPU will reduce the run time.
There is a fixed amount of energy in a charged battery.
The faster you take energy out the shorter the run time will be.
Turn off bluetooth.
Reduce backlight to as low as is comfortable for you. I use level 5.
Watching video uses a lot of energy.

You need a PDF editor, at the high end use Adobe's Acrobat Professional, at the low end use the editing features in Preview (pre-loaded on your iMac). However you should probably look at the Mac App Store, you will find many of PDF editing applications. You simply need to find one that suits your needs.

Is GB 9.0.4 update today at App Store needed for all users, or just for Lion? Will it be in Software Update or is it paid update only? Please clarify

I sure hope you are correct, Christoph. Seems one Mac site has questioned this also:
http://www.tuaw.com/2011/07/11/iphoto-garageband-and-imovie-updated-in-mac-app-s tore/
No iWeb updates either way so far. Not that I use it, just an observation.

I am running OS X 10.6.8. iCloud says to download Lion 10.7.2. I thought I was running Lion. Selected software update and it says there is no new software for my system. How do I know if I am running Lion?

Is 10.6.x Snow Leopard and 10.7.x Lion?

"Selected software update and it says there is no new software for my system."
You already have all the free updates that are pertinent to Snow Leopard. Software Update only finds and installs free updates to your Apple software — it doesn't do anything with upgrades that must be purchased, like Lion. If you were to purchase and install Lion, Software Update would then find and offer to install all the free updates that are applicable to Lion.
