Faxing with imac and comcast

I'm trying to fax using an imac runnning os x. I purchase a apple usb modem and attached it to a phone line. My phone service is through comcast and is digital.
When I try and send a fax I get the message "preparing to fax" and that is it. The process stall there. Is there any advice on how I could get this to work other than using a fax service like efax.

Atom2,
Have a look at this article for instructions on sending a fax. I have Comcast digital service also, but I've never tried to send a fax. You may have to check with Comcast to see if additional steps are necessary.

  • I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
    I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
    It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple.

  • I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

    I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD that a used with my PC but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

    No, unfortunately, when you format a drive, it will erase all the contents. So you will need to find a temporary "storage" place to put the stuff using a PC so you have access to it. Then reformat using Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). If only using with mac, format Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use GUID Partition scheme under Partitions/Options. After formatting, you can drag the files back.

  • Is Samsung Galaxy 4 compatible with iMac and other Apple products?

    Is Samsung Galaxy 4 compatible with iMac and other Apple products?

    Yes, the s4 is compatible with music and photo transfers between your imac.  I don't have experience with the cloud, but it should be the exact same thing. 
    Now, there will be a few differences between how you get the files onto said device.  With the iPhone, you may be able to do it wirelessly, but with the s4 you will have to plug it in. 
    The s4 will not work with iLife or iLife applications either.  However, bigger screen, more customizable ui and experience with samsung phones personally, I would recommend the s4 over the iPhone 5.

  • Are there any known compatibility issues with iMac and Google Chrome?

    Does anyone know of any compatibility issues with iMac and Google chrome. A Facebook friend who is a photographer posted recently that Chrome had ruined his iMac. He stead that it ran an update on itself that made safari and chrome unusable - slow running overall. In the end he had to reinstall his OS.
    Is anyone aware of this and should I un-install Chrome off my Mac?
    Thanks,
    S.

    There is nothing official but your post will attract a variety of personal experiences.   I once loaded Chrome and found myself with the dreaded MacKeeper malware, loads of pop ups and conflicts with my system.   Part of the problem is the huge range of add ons you are tempted to  take on, many of which are not as strictly tested as Apple extensions.   I would say, unless you have a specific reason, leave it alone.   The best browser is Firefox and for Macs, Safari is OK.

  • No Sync with Imac and Outlook for mac 2011

    Hello,
    just bought a new bb torch, but it does not synchronise with outloop (office for mac 2011).
    no contacts, no agenda.
    I can not choose which agenda/contacts.
    It looks like the Torch goes to the standard email progam of Imac and not to Outlook.
    The only contacts are the standard contacts from addressbook imac.
    thanks in advance,
    rob

    I have just discovered the same thing - if you do a search around the topic you will find it confirmed that the only thing that will sync with Outlook for Mac is contacts.
    I've just moved everything over from a PC to a Mac and so to find it not working is so frustrating.
    SORT IT OUT RIM - or at least assure us you're working on it. 

  • DVI KVM switch to use with iMac and Cinema Display

    I currently have a 20" iMac that I use with a 20" Cinema Display. I'd like to share the Cinema display between the iMac and a Dell computer. Assuming this can be done, are there any recommendations for a DVI-KVM switch? Most important is no loss in video quality when the Cinema display is used with the iMac. The Dell is seldom used and even a straight DVI switch without mouse and keyboard sharing would be OK.

    I am also trying to link a Mac Mini and a HP PC with an nVidia FX5500 graphics card via a KVM switch. The mini works fine but the PC does not sync up and the screen is blank and the little white light on the lower right is blinking.
    Any news on your question would be appreciated

  • External speakers not working with iMac and Lion

    I have a dual core imac with Lion and external speakers I just bought from Apple. I cannot get them to work with itunes or anything else on the imac. Can anyone tell me what to do? They work well with an ipod touch, but not the iMac.

    Hmmm. I plugged the speakers into the headphone jack. they are  the Audyssey Lower East Side Media Speakers. When I hoty option on the menu bar, headphones are checked as output. When I go to system preferences and check output, all it says is "headphone port." Still no change.

  • Can I use BB Pearl with iMac and still with PC as well?

    Hi. I've been using my BB pearl to synch with my PC for work (contacts/calendar/email). My personal computer is an iMac and I'd like to be able to synch the calendar and contacts to my BB pearl also. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks for the help!

    There is an article on BB Geeks about synching your BB with both Mac and PC.

  • Airport extreme loses internet connection all the time with imac and macbook pro

    I keep losing the internet connection with airport extreme on my imac and macbook pro but NOT with my pc

    Ok, so when you say you lose internet connection, is it disconnecting from your wireless network so there are no bars?
    And are there usually full bars?

  • Synchronization of iPAD and iPHONE with iMAC and Macbook

    Hi,
    I am synchrinizing my calendar and contacts through iCloud with my 4 devices (iPhone, iPad, iMac and Macbook). Although it works nicely with the two computers, the iPad and iPhone do not pick up all appointments and that's very frustrating.
    Does anyone know how to fix this or is this an iCloud bug that Apple needs to fix?
    Thanks
    JP

    Thanks for the hint. But unfortunately, it does not work. There are still appointments on my Macbook that do not show on my iPhone after I've done what you describe.
    Maybe it's because those were invitations I accepted on my Macbook? But technically speaking those should also be synchronized.
    I think Apple has some work to do here.
    Thanks again for the tip

  • Connection with iMac and Time Machine VERY slow

    People
    For the past of couple of days the connection with my iMac and Time Capsule has gone askew. The iMac shows the wireless connection at 5GHz with a transmit rate over 200. However, internet is slow and backing up about 300mb is in its 24th hour and it's only reached 180mb.
    I don't understand what may have happened. The two machines have been best mates for a long time and now something's gone wrong. The only thing I did a couple of days ago is install the Update for the Apple Magic Mouse.
    On the other hand, my MacBook, which also have the Magic Mouse update, has not trouble with internet speed - wireless, once again - and the Time Machine backups are happening without a hitch.
    I bit the bullet and turned off the Time Machine and rebooted it. Unfortunately, it's made no difference.
    Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Both your 5 GHz band and the guest band have the same SSID unless you have assigned separate names to them. I think it's much easier to identify them if they have separate names of your choice.
    If you have a separate name for the guest 2.4 GHz band, click on the Airport icon at the top of your screen and then click "Join other network". The 2.4 GHz band should appear as a choice and you can connect to it.
    I'm using Leopard, not Snow Leopard so I don't know if things display the same way on our operating system. If you want your computer to connect to a given network:
    Click System Preferences, then Network.
    Click the AirPort connection on the left and then click the Advanced button at the lower right. You can drag the network that you want your computer to connect to first to the top of the list.

  • Networking\Sharing: Drive resourse with Imac and Windows PCs

    May question start with how dose a person share an IMac external USB drives\resourses with a windows systems.

    Hi Dennis,
    I tried the steps provided but when I attempted to connect the two computers my iMac said it had to shutdown and had a series of error codes it wanted me to send to apple.
    If I follow these steps successfully will I be able to copy or pull files from the windows machine onto the iMac? We have lots of pictures and word files that I'd like to transfer onto the iMac and into programs like iPhoto and Word for Mac.
    Is there any other programs required to get the two machines to share files other than what is on both computers?
    Thanks, Roger
