What brand of printer do you recommend for my imac 27?

What brand of printer do you recommend for my imac 27 from 2009?

I bought a Hewlett-Packard M451dn color laser jet. I'm happy with it.
I selected it after having a horrible experience with a low-cost Xerox color laser jet.
The things I like the best:
Fast warm-up time. No waiting around like solid-ink printers from Xerox have.
No odor. Solid-ink printers have a smell like baked crayons.
Very good print quality - real Postscript.
Duplex printing (both sides of the paper)
I connect to it wirelessly through my Airport; I connect an ethernet cable from the printer to the Airport then my Mac communicates wirelessly.

Which antivirus product is recommended for the iMac?

Which antivirus product is recommended for the iMac?

OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it updated with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

What computer do you recommend for music production, photo and video editing?

I'm looking to buy a computer mainly for music production with native instruments and photo and video editing with adobe elements. I'd like a crisp image, good sound and also runs as smooth as possible. I am planning on using external hard drives for most of my storage so space isn't an issue for me. I don't mind buying a refurbished computer. I am looking to spend around $3000 to $3500 on the computer itself. What computer do you recommend?

Please do not double post; it gets too confusing for us - the volunteers - if there is more than one.
the new iMac - just introduced - sounds like it'd be the right thing; I'd upgrade to an SSD and the fastest processor offered. You can also add RAM, but I'd do that later as it'll be less expensive and it's very easy to do yourself.
Good luck.

What Illy CS4 book would you recommend for the beginner to grow with?

Hello All,
I am looking for a good illustrator cs4 book for the beginner to grow with.
I have read reviews on amazon but thought I might ask the pros.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The instructions that ship with the program: The Help menu.
I know it's boring, but if you want to learn a new program, the most expedient way is to work through the provided manual, cover to cover. Don't just read it, actually perform the operations it describes.
Third-party books almost universally involve these downsides:
They are expensive.
They are incomplete. They try to walk a fence-edge between rank beginner and intermediate user; between being merely a too-wordy reiteration of the Help files and next-level techniques for the more experienced user. The reason is obvious: the goal is to sell to as wide a range of users as possible. The result is often unsatisfying: They can't possibly include everything in the Help files, so they leave gaps for the beginner. But they feel compelled to appeal to beginners, so the experienced user has to weed through a bunch of entry-level bulk, just to get to the "juicy stuff" he's interested in. He pay's 100% price for about 15% of the content.
The are inefficient. They are full of unnecssary verbiage attempting to be clever, cute, hip, friendly, and thereby supposedly more "approachable." Most fail miserably at this, and the result is you have to read through endless passages of such original content as "this will knock your socks off" and "this is awesome" when what you really need is "just the facts, ma'am." The Help files fall under the stylistic guidelines of technical documentation: They adhere to "just-the-facts, ma'am."
They are short-lived. They go quickly out-of-date, which is one of the reasons why they are too expensive: They have to make their money quickly after release.
I'm not saying don't buy any. I have a small fortune's-worth myself, all but a dozen or so of which I wish I had never bought. With the money I wasted on them (plus interest), I could buy a new Honda Fury. I'm just saying do the included documentation--however painful--first. And keep doing it for new features when new versions are released. That will get you there the quickest, because it will lay the necessary foundations of overall interface scheme and basic object principles. Then, when you have that understanding, look only for books that are targeted toward an at-least intermediate level user. That way, your money will be spent, but it will be better-invested.

What printer do you recommend with an ipad

Hi
Just wondered what printer you recommend using with an iPad?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Any AirPrint printer will work. You can have a look at this site > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
I have got a HP Photosmart B110a and it works without any problem

What software would you recommend for an HP Z230 Workstation?

I just purchased a new Hewlett Packard Z230 Workstation with the intent to catch up on a big backlog (hundreds of hours) of family videos I want to clean up and edit. This computer is configured as follows:
Intel I7 4770 Quad Core running 3.4 GHz (showing 8 processors in control panel/system/processor)
16 GB ram
256 GB solid state C: drive
3 TB 7,200 rpm D: Drive
nVidia Quadro K2000 video card with 2 GB video ram
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
When I bought this, I planned on using Cyberlink PowerDirector because they advertised it to run well with the features on this computer. I downloaded a trial version of Power Director, and it met my functional needs. But it locked up three times in an hour. When I wrote Cyberlink, they asked for information like the DxDiag.txt file that describes my computer, and the Windows Event logs of the lockups. Their response was BAFFLING, because they said they design their software for "consumer level platforms," and since they don't test their software on "workstations," they cannot recommend my using it on the Z230.
That said, I'm now looking for alternate software. I've used Pinnacle a lot in the past, but it has changed so much from the version I used, I'm not wed to any brand at this point. In addition to usual editing capability, I want to verify that the software I buy has some specific capabilities I need:
-- Ability to crop video clips and expand the remaining cropped scene back to 16:9 (because I have some incroachment in some video clips from the lens hood of a camera).
-- Ability to normalize audio levels for different clips (some too loud or too quiet) before producing the video.
-- Desired, not required: Ability to burn BluRay or DVD on a separate computer than the one where I am editing.
Most, if not all, editing software has these abilities now (PowerDirector and Pinnacle do), so this shouldn't be a problem, but I just want to check.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Terry Quinn

Jim,
Thanks for the recommendations.
You'll get a kick out of this. I started with a Betamovie in 1984, switched to Hi8 in 1993, and D8 in 2005. My initial editing was from one beta VCR to another one. Then I bought a good Sony TR101 Hi8 camcorder, and soon bought a $1,300 EV-S3000 Sony Hi8 VCR that connected to the TR101 by wire, which gave some syncronization of the linear edits (about plus or minus 3 frames when it was happy). In 2004 I bought a powerful (for then) computer and Pinacle Studio 9, which with some upgrades is still what I've edited with until now. Some of all three formats of video have been digitized (or downloaded from the D8) as .avi using various hardware. I expect to complete all of that as .avi.
I've just bought a new Panasonic HC-X920 camcorder (very nice) that produces files in .m2ts, which I think is AVCHD. As you can probably tell from my history, that may prove to be my last camcorder purchase and format change. I have no plans now to shoot 4k.
I checked, and I've overstated the number of hours of video I have left to do. I recorded just under 200 hours total in all three formats. 45 hours of that (the Beta) are fully edited, and about 22 hours of the Hi8 are finished. So I'm looking at about 130 hours of video I still need to edit, plus whatever I shoot in HD going forward.
I appreciate what you say about stability. I fought that with Pinacle 9, and frankly didn't change from that because I finally got it to run stably doing what I did for years. (However recently it has started behaving badly again, which is another reason I'm upgrading).
The Quardro came with the HP computer. The Quadro and GeForce both are spec'd on nVidia's website, and I assumed that since its specs were higher than the GeForce and "matched" Cyberlink's specs for OpenCL, I would be better with the Quadro than the GeForce. From what I'm hearing here and your recomendation, it sounds like I should sell the Quadro on Ebay and buy a GeForce. In case I still might end up with Cyberlink, I'll run the card model you suggested by them and see if they "bless" it.
I know the HP computer supports RAID, because I've seen that come up during boot-up. I always thought RAID was only about reliable backup. Are you suggesting that if I put a second 3 TB hard drive in my computer, and somehow tie it into RAID, that will improve performance, too?

What database would you recommend for a beginner?

I'm learning to use Java by developing a database application and am considering design choices.
I started using a text file but, from an earlier posting to this board have now have been persuaded to move to a real database using JDBC. I'm OK with that and have been reading up , trying to understand the topic.
But can you recommend the database to go for? The considerations are:
1) I will create the original data in advance. The users will extract from this 'master' database (about 3,000 records) & query/edit/save etc. their own subsets of the data for use later.
2) The end users will probably access the database locally, rather than as client-server.
3) I don't want one where the end user has difficulty setting up , say , DNS links etc.
4) I wont know the end users configuration., so...
5) Do I try for a type 4 all Java driver? My textbook says these are the most portable
6) Low (preferably zero) cost. I couldn't spend a lot on (say) oracle.
7) Ability to password protect (and preferably encrypt) the data
8) I'm a bit confused on version numbers I am using JDK 1.2.1, there is a JDBC ver 2.0 , will the two work together OK ?
9) As this is a learning exercise for me , perhaps I should add easy to learn! I'm familiar with MS access , but understand there aren't any free type 4 drivers for it.
I've heard mention of Cloudbase and have downloaded HSQL to look at also have a trial copy of Interbase [which looks complex?]
Any views on these ?
Thanks in advance for any advice
Mike.
(For info the JDK being used is 1.2.1, the OS is windows 95 and the IDE is Jbuilder 3 professional)

My advise (and it's not a troll) is to use MySQL , which is a quite light Database and well embeded using java programming.
This database is free and is mostly used for developping dynamic web servers with PHP.
JDBC 1.2 and 2.0 and ODBC are available for free too.
You may use PHPMyAdmin if you want a distant admin to be done.
There are many other clients in different languages.

What system do you recommend for FCP work?

Modern iMacs are pretty powerfull now, and the price jump to the pro's is high.
What limitations would there be in using a 27" iMac with the new i5 CPU and say 8GB $200 upgrade instead of a Mac Pro?

Not sure why, but I feel the need to chime in here -- this is a very interesting topic. Of course as others have said, it depends on the work you will be doing more than anything else, but I'll tell you what I have, and what I do, and how the system performs.
- MacBook Pro, 15", 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM, 500GB 7200 RPM internal HD, NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT (performance mode), Apple Cinema Display at 1920x1200, SD slot, 8x internal DVD-R/W
- Seagate 1TB FW800 external HD for Time Machine
- FCS 3 (FCP7, Motion4, Soundtrack Pro 3)
- Adobe Master Collection CS4
- Canon XH-A1s
- Canon Vixia HV30
- Lowel Light Kit (3 Tota, 1 Omni, 1 Rifa)
- Sennheiser Shotgun Mic
- Shure wireless lavs and wireless hand-held microphones
- Libec tripods
The whole rig, top to bottom, was around $15k.
I'm a one-man shop for a good size health systems research company in Washington, DC. I produce videos for presentation on the web and sometimes DVD. This doesn't come close to comparing with broadcast or film work, but I would still call it "professional," if not "high-end." I do work for many well-known federal government agencies, and the demand for quality is surprisingly high.
I'm portable (out of necessity), and I can do some good work quick with just my MB Pro, a few of the lights in a soft bag, and the A1. I can sling that whole rig over (both) my shoulders and get into a cab or on a plane and shoot anywhere they need me to.
I usually shoot in HDV, 30F (Canon), and I output 800k H.264 files for the web and government intranets. They look great. As we know, it's all about the lighting and knowing how to use your camera. I also do a lot of animations in Motion, and I "round trip" the audio to STP, even with all its minor quirks.
The system works flawlessly. Perfect. I edit from the internal drive(!), and I capture to the internal drive from either camera, connected through the external drive with a 9-pin to 6-pin cable. When I can, I shoot straight to the MB Pro and run a tape as a backup. Capture works perfectly too - never had a problem with either camera. Common FCP filters run in real-time in Safe RT, very little timeline rendering, and Compressor runs in the background quite often along with FCP, Motion, STP, Firefox, and Mail all open at once.
This is definitely not a high end system -- I understand that -- but it works great. I don't have a single complaint. And unless I'm mistaken, the iMac you're thinking about getting is faster than my MB Pro, and with comparable ports and I/O. And I would not hesitate for a second to shoot and produce something for commercial DVD delivery.
Would I like to have a Mac Pro? Of course, and I might order one later this year. But I love the portability of my system, and it gets the job done very nicely. On several occasions I have edited and posted videos, making last minute changes, from hotel rooms while on location around the country, and I can easily take my work home with me. Love it. And BTW, the Cinema Display is absolutely beautiful.
Personally, I think it's too easy for us sometimes to bash Apple and their odd decisions with their hardware as it pertains to video production (one FW bus, SD slot, etc.), but really, this system is great. I enjoy sitting down at it every day because I know my machine will do everything I ask it to, and it will not crash. Never has.
Compressor renders could be faster, but we can all probably say that.
On a side note - I have a modern, very fast ThinkPad that my company insisted on getting me. I never use it except for capturing into Vegas while I'm editing on the Mac. And I can tell you this: I am SO glad that all I have to use the PC for is capture! I'm thankful for my little Mac system. If I had to edit video on a PC I would find another career.
Good luck with your decision, but you're already heading down the right path with Mac and FCS. You'll be happy.
Okay, back to work...

HT4848 what recovery assistant is recommended for the intel core 2 duo 2gb macbook?

After sending a flashdrives contents to the waste basket and emptying it, for some reason the file on the desktop containing identical files lost part of its content. Can I recover either the flash drive or the contents of the folder using some recovery app/software. I downloaded stellar phoenix but its behaviour is odd and unsuccessful , possibly due me. Is there a simple program you can recommend?
Thank You.

Go with the new model. You wouldn't notice much "real-world" difference between the two processors. With the new unit, you will get a much better screen, better trackpad and stronger graphics. It's a no brainer.

What Plugin do you use for the Mastertrack

I am curious to know what plugin people use for the mastertrack, given that there is only one open slot .
Any recomendations

I have been using this free AU for a while now on the master track:
Slim Slow Slider: C3 Multi Band Compressor 1.2
http://www.apulsoft.ch/freeports/
Scroll down the page from the above link to find the C3 Multi Band Compressor 1.2
Features:
Three stereo compressors.
A master limiter.
Flexible dividing filters(ButterWorth Filter or LinearPhaseFIR Filter).
Sampling Rate: 44.1k, 48k, 88.2k, 96k support.
32bit float internal precision.
I really like it, however it does not come with a manual.

What is best word processing for the iMac?

What is best word processing to use on my imac?

Depends. What word processing are you doing?
Word is probably the most capable, but do you need all that capability? Pages is very good, but not as powerful, as are Nisus Writer and Mellel. But it comes down to the kind of power you need: You writing blog posts? Novels? Doctoral Theses? Letters to your Mummy? Each of these can be done in Word, but if you're only writing notes home then Word is overkill. If you need academic standards - citations, footnotes etc - then Word, Pages, Nisus etc. If you're writing a Novel or long project something like Scrivener or Ulysses 3 are likely better.
So... the best is the one appropriate for the writing you're doing - which is that?

What book would you recommend for learning Logic EXPRESS 9?

Hello.
I'm going to be getting Logic Express 9 in the next few days. I was wondering if any of you can recommend a good, up-to-date, book for learning the ins and outs of Logic Express 9? I've seen a few on Amazon.com that are for Logic PRO and Express. My concern is that they'll spend a lot of time on talking about Pro functionality and I may be left up in the air with wanting to know what I need to know about Express.
Please let me know why you like the book(s) that you're recommending, too.
Thanks very much.
p.s. I used Opcode's "Vision" about 20 years ago. I'm hoping that I'll be able to pick-up Logic Express 9 fairly quickly.

Hi
You should not be concerned about 'Pro vs Express'.: they are essentially the same program, with the same functionality. The primary differences are listed here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4229
The general word seems to be that The Apple Pro Training Series book by David Nahmani is a very good place to start.
