Faxing with an Intel iMac

I am trying to find a low cost, practical way to send and receive faxes on my new Intel iMac. Is the Apple modem the only way to go. Has anyone who has tried this approach found that is works well? Any sugestions are appreciated.
20" Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7) Airport Extreme

Faxing will work on your iMac, first, if you have bought a modem (Intel iMacs don't have internal modems), second, if you use a dial-up connection (some broadband providers offer the possibility to send faxes even with a DSL line, at least here in Italy).
There are two more solutions I know: a cheaper one PageSender, it's a shareware app that costs 29 $, or a professional one FAXstf Pro for 90$.

What usb keyboards are compatible with the Intel iMac

Please can someone tell me what USB Apple Keybouards are compatable with the intel Imac
howard

Some PC keyboards may not work with the Mac. Especially, specialty gaming keyboards will not work with Macs and OS X. Some PC keyboards are designed to specifically work with newer versions of Windows at that's it!
They may not even work as a basic keyboard, but not entirely sure.
I know for a fact specialty gaming keyboards do not work at all on a Mac because there have been posts here from gamers who tried to use special gaming keyboards and mice and they would not function on a Mac.
If you know anyone with a Mac, ask them if they have a spare Mac keyboard you can try before buying.
Good Luck!

Problem with networking HP Laserjet 1100 with Leopard with new Intel iMac

I have an HP Laserjet 1100 that I have used with my old iMac running Panther. I had used the HPIJS drivers in the past with the HP Laserjet 5 driver selected. It worked flawlessly. I use IPP to connect to the printer via a printer server.
I have purchased a new iMac which is Intel based and runs Leopard. I am having a lot of trouble getting this printer to work with it. I went to the website referenced above and installed Ghostscript, Foomatic RIP and then finally HPIJS. As I add the printer, it gave me the option to select an HP Laserjet 1100 printer (from the HPIJS set). When I add the IP address, it says it is valid. When I try to print, there is no response; the job just times out. I had the same problem with the Gutenprint driver that was installed with Leopard.
Finally, I tried the HP Laserjet 6 from the HPIJS driver set. It had the word "recommended" next to it which was intriguing. It too did not work.
I would appreciate any help.

I'm afraid that Ghostscript, etc. are PPC only applications and any printer plug-ins they install will not work on an Intel Mac. You should uninstall all the third-party stuff you've installed for the printer, then only use the included printer driver installed by OS X unless HP has a universal binary driver compatible with OS X and Intel Macs. You might try using LPD rather than IPP for the printer.

Sleep Issues with 20" Intel iMac

I am having trouble with the iMac not "waking up" from sleep mode. In fact, it's not a full sleep. I have the machine set to "never" go to sleep. I do have the screen set to go dark after 30 minutes of inactivity. I also have the "turn hard drives off when possible" NOT checked. So the machine is supposed to never sleep, just the display. After 30 minutes the screen does go dark and I can wake it successfully. However, if the screen goes dark and is left off for several hours, like over night, then it will not wake up no matter what. Requires a hard re-boot. I have tried to reset whatever chip it is by unplugging the machine completely, etc, and that did not seem to help. I have no new software installed other than what came pre-installed on the mac. Any thoughts? It is frustrating that I can't leave the machine on.

hey!
have you applied the firmware update to your imac?
i like to do my own OS installs with new machines, this may be a bit drastic for your problem, but it would be something i would consider, just to have the operating system done by myself. are there applications you launched/have open when this happens?
you could also check in =>your drive=>library=>start up items and see what if anything is there...[move it out[but don't toss], reboot and check if your better off]
also go to system preferences=>accounts=>log in items and see what is enabled there. if anything is there, enabled, unclick it, re start and again verify if it 'was the culprit'... check back here, if those things are tried with/without success...

Help with 2005 Intel iMac

Hey everyone, i have an old 2005 Intel iMac that i barely use nowadays. I already bought new macs since then and my last one was a new macbook. I want/need to install windows but dont want to do it on a laptop cause i dont want to take too much diskspace. I thought of installing it on my iMac which i did already with the BootCamp Beta that was realeased once but has ran out now. So I tried installing Snowleopard on the iMac with the Install Discs of the macbook. At first it seems to be running fine but when the computer boots snow leopard and the typical wallpaper shows up, i get a message that it cant be installed. Is that because its a Macbook Install disc? Id appreciate every help, really need windows on this one
Thanks in advance bros,
Lovey

Well, you have to understand that I got sidetracked by the 2005 date you put in your post. You take a look at this:
That is your Mac and it wasn't introduced until September 2006 - that makes it clear that's it's an Intel.
In any case, glad to hear the install is working!

No fan noise with new intel iMac?

My daughter's iMac G5 sounds quite loud when the fans kick in,but I haven't heard my intel iMac fans even come on. The loudest noise the thing makes is the hard drive writing occasionally. Is there any way to make sure the fans are working?
iMac 17 Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Did as you suggested and still cannot hear any fans. My first G5 unit was the same way till the logic board fried and was replaced. Now it sounds like a jet engine every time it starts to work hard. I hope this one doesn't turn out the same way. My first unit is in the shop right now for it's second logic board and a new power supply.

M7649 (17" Monitor) with my Intel iMac

I have an old studio display (model M7649) and I just bought a 21" referb iMac. I used the display with my 15" MBP before th video card died on it (it was from July of '07). The display simply will not respond to my iMac. Is it compatible? Here are my iMac's specs:

Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b)
The only thing I can think of that is different is this computer has the thunderbolt display port... Does that matter?

I have all the right adapters from the monitor (The monsterous ADC thing). I bought a mini display port to DVI to hook it up with and I think that's the right connector. Here are all the specs I found concerning video (I think)

I have tried detecting diplay (I had to do that with my MBP too) and it still doesn't pick it up.I can't chagne the bit rate from the display options nor does it give me the options to gather all windows. Hmm... I tried using another mini display port to DVI to make sure and the same thing... nothing. Is there a new cable for Thunderbolt? It looks the same and the mini display port fits inside the Thunderbolt plug

Is there a Window's Media Player download compatible with the INTEL iMacs?

I tried downloading MWP for Mac OSX and the file name was Windows Media.sitx and I couldnt do anything with that. I also tried downloading Windows Media Components for quicktime but it said it wasnt compatible with intel Macs.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
iMac G5 Intel Core Duo, 1.83GHz, 1GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Although Microsoft no longer supports it, WMV9 for OSX works on the intel machine, running under Rosetta. That .sitx file you download can be uncompressed with the free Stuffit Expander for intel:
http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/universalbeta.html
Or re-download the WM Player as a .bin file from MS directly:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx?pid=download&location=/mac/download/ misc/winmp_osx.xml&secid=80&ssid=8&flgnosysreq=True
Alternatively, you can download the Popwire components for intel Mac, which allow WMV files to play in native Quicktime (7.0.4 and below only) or Flip4Mac, which will do the same, although only by running your Quicktime Player in Rosetta, as F4M has not released a universal version as of yet.

Strange goings on with the intel iMac

Ive been having a few glitches with my brand new iMac which I had only today. for one it was crashing when I clicked the date & time section of system preferences but now one of the icons has gone horribly wrong. On another note can anyone direct me to where I can get a plugin for quicktime 7 to play avi files.
see here for what I mean: http://www.applegateplus.com/help.png

What was your experience with the machine "out of the box?" Meaning, did you simply boot up the machine and play around, or otherwise did you do some sort of mass migration of files and folders from you previous Mac?
I noticed Deja Vu in your system prefs - makes me think you did a migration of some sort.
Let us know...
P.S. - as for the QT plug-in, you'll find the DivX codec for intel mac will assist you in getting your QT Player to see those pesky avi files:

Using legacy hardware with my Intel iMac -- HP Scanjet 6100c

I've found myself the owner of a gently used HP Scanjet 6100c. This is a 7-8 year old scanner, but it was a top-flight model back then. I suspect it's still as good or better than many consumer-grade scanners I might buy new. I'm looking forward to setting it up.
You can probably guess what comes next: it's got a SCSI interface. There's a 25-pin connector and a big, fat SCSI-2 connector. There's also a round, nickel-sized port labeled "ADF/ACC." No clue what that does.
So, the question...is there a way for me to hook this beastie up to my iMac? Or will I be left with no option but connecting it to my lonely Ubuntu box in the basement?

Without a SCSI card there's really no way to connect the scanner to the Mac. It would be easier and cheaper to get a new USB-based scanner. You would also need software to use the scanner that's compatible with Intel Macs. This could also prove a problem given the scanner's age.
BTW, you'll need driver software for the Linux machine as well in order to use the scanner.

Help with my intel imac

Hi there i have an imac intel core duo 17inch 1.83ghz computer with an ATY,RadeonX1600 chipset graphics card.
I have recently purchased a hardware controller that allowes me to mix video on my computer. The hardware comes with software which runs nativly on my imac.
Here is an exerpt from the manual of my hardware controller:
Double monitoring:
To do a proper VJ performance, it is more convenient to use video cards that support double monitors. That
way, you can project the output of the mixer to your second monitor (linked to a projection system for
example) and still access the user interface alongside the controller on the primary monitor. To set up
double monitoring within NuVJ, you first need to make sure your system is configured to work with two
independent screen outputs (and not using cloning where both adapter outlets output the same image).
Once you have set up your system, start NuVJ and go to the Preferences dialog (File > Preferences). In the
Display section select which monitor you would like to use for the full screen output. Once that is done, you
can enter full screen mode by going to Display > Toggle Fullscreen or by pressing CTRL+A (command+A on
Mac). You can also exit full screen mode by pressing CTRL+A (command+A on Mac).
What i want to know is can my computer do double monitoring, will my video card support this and how do i do it if it can?
I have recently purchased a projector that i want to use as my other display to do the double monitoring on useing it as the output 'full screen' while my computer acts as the user interface.
Can anyone help me as im at a loss for what to do? Even if it means going out to buy another sort of mac computer (have been looking at a laptop version) that will support this 'double monitoring'.
Any help would be appreciated
thankyou

With the correct Mini-DVI adapter connected to your iMac you should have a choice between mirroring or extending the desktop. I am not sure if either of these will meet the needs of your software.
From page 57 of the User Guide that came with your Mac;
When an external monitor or TV is connected, you can either have the same image
appear on both the iMac display and the external display (known as video mirroring) or
use the external display to extend the size of the Mac OS X desktop (known as
extended desktop mode).
You set this up in the System Prefs/Displays, where a new Arrangement pane should appear when your Mac detects you have connected an external monitor.

Which Mouse Works With the Intel iMac?

My Microsoft mouse will not enable me to program the buttons on the new iMac.
I am aware that STEERMOUSE shareware will do the job for $20. But have any mouse manufacturers upgraded their drivers to the new Universal binary format?

Download SteerMouse; you get to use it for 30 days for free, by which time maybe Logitech or Kensington will have released Universal Binaries for their mice. But I bet by then you'll be happy glad and pleased to pony up the $20. If not just wait a decade or two for MS to come up with a programmable mouse driver for MacIntels: they can't manage to update Windows in a timely fashion, much less write drivers for the competition.

Anyone have OpenOffice 2.0.2 working with their Intel iMac?

I'm a new Mac user so it very well may be I'm doing something wrong. I downloaded 3 different flavors of the latest OpenOffice that say they work on the Intel Mac platform, but so far no luck. As far as I can tell, X11User is installed properly. When I try running OpenOffice, it shows for a few seconds in the Dock, then goes away. There are no error messages, so I have no idea what is going wrong. If someone has this working, please post the link to the build you are using and any installation / operation hints you might have.

Can I upgrade to Lion with an Intel iMac with 1 GB RAM. I am getting conflicting info (from Apple advisors) whether I need 2GB -which I can do by adding 1, or 3 -which apparently I can't do. Anybody successful in upgrading to Lion with 1 or 2 GB Ram?

I am getting conflicting info (from Apple folks) whether I can upgrade to Lion with 1 GB Ram. Some are saying I need 2 (which I can do by adding memory) - or 3 (which I'm not sure I can do). Anyone running Lion with 1 GB? 2? I am at Leopard 10.5.8 to run some recording mixer which the company (Alesis) told me they weren't going to support drivers to Lion, but I guess they changed their minds. Am I clear on this? thanks.

The hardware requirements for Lion are an intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB RAM.
I wouldn't even both trying with 1GB, and even with 2GB Lion may struggle. If you intend to upgrade to Lion, can I suggest you max out your RAM. RAM is cheap at the moment.

Printing problem with new Intel iMac and Indesign CS3

Hi there,
this might not be the right place to ask for, but has anybody here experienced printing problems in Indesign CS3 with Tiger?
I just installed the software and tried to print out of Indesign, but nothing. I can see on the panel that data is beeing received but no printing action. And this is just out of the new Indesing CS3.
Any suggestions?
Best
Rolf

Our office is printing fine from ID & PS CS3. This is from Intel & PPC Mac's running 10.4.9.
What is your printer and how is it configured for printing, ie USB or IP.
Also, have a look at the cups error log. You can find this via System Profiler > Software > Logs. This will show which process is failing for the spooled job. You can post it back here for more help.
