Hi, I've got an imac using mac os x version10.4.11, does anyone know of any printers that are compatible with this operating system version?

Yesterday I set up a Canon IP3600 to work on a PowerBook G4 running OS 10.4.11. It is a print-only unit. I got the 10.4 drivers off the Canon website before connecting the printer. Many Brother printers still have support for older Mac OS versions.
If you need a multi-function device, it is gettng very hard to find any that support PowerPC Macs (pre-2006) of OSX versions older then 10.6 any more.
As you posted in the PowerPC iMac forum I assume you have one. However, there are some Intel Macs (2006 and newer) still running 10.4. Check "About this Mac" under your Apple menu: if it says you have an Intel processor, you have many more doors open.

  • Hi. Does anyone know what video editing software is compatible with my MacBook - version 10.6.3? I am looking to edit films and already have Final Cut Pro, but am looking for something a little more basic and easier to use. Thanks. Vicki

    Hi Cereskit
    Thanks again for the message. I've done the updates and have the App Store on my desktop. I went into it and searched for imovie but couldn't find the basic imovie, which I presume is what I'd need for editing?, rather than imovie 11 for £10.49, which is for making trailers, it seems. Also, were you saying that imovie would be free?

  • Does anyone know of a dot-matrix printer compatible with Mac OS X Lion?

    We need to upgrade our system at work to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.  We need to find a dot-matrix printer to print our multi-part forms.  We have been using an Epson FX-980 and FX-890N under OS X 10.4 (Classic Mode).  I've tried to use the FX-890N (newer) using the Epson 9-pin driver supplied with OS X 10.7.  The print quality is so bad it's almost illegable.  I also tried different fonts in the hopes to improve print quality but have not been able to improve.
    We have GOT to get to OS X 10.7 Lion, but cannot give up our impact printing capability.  We are willing to buy a new impact printer if needed.
    Please HELP!!!

    I tried your link, but it came back with no page found at Lexmark.  We just purchased a LexMark Forms (dot-matrix) Printer Model 2580n after takling with sales support at LexMark.  They confirmed that this printer worked with Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion).  HOWEVER, after receiving the printer, and unsuccessfully attempting to get it to print, I called their tech support.  They told me that their sales dept was incorrect, and that they do not have a dot-matrix printer that will work with OS X 10.7.  They are in the process of issuing me an RMA# to return the printer with a full refund.
    Nothing would make me happier than for you to prove them wrong.  I DESPERATELY need to find a dot-matrix printer that does work with OS X 10.7.
    Any additional input you could supply would be greatly appreciated.  I look forward to your reply.

  • Does anyone know if Contribute 6.5 is compatible with Mac OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks?

    I need to edit my web site but I have now upgraded my Mac. Any ideas?

    Did you update to the new Mac OS, Yosemite? I understand it's not compatible with Yosemite and have been trying to find out if Adobe is even working on an update. I finally found a site I could link to and asked the question and they said no it's not compatible and could not tell me if Adobe was working on an update for us Mac users. I would like to use Yosemite but not if it's not compatible with Contribute 6.5. I am contemplating buying a new Mac and of course it will have Yosemite on it. I'm looking in to finding some other web building software. If Adobe is monitoring this Blog how about some information.

  • Does anyone know if any usb keyboards will work with a imac g3

    Do all usb keyboards and mice work with the imac g3

    Jimmer,
    Just a note on PC keyboard function keys.  The windows function keys work but you will get frustrated by the location of the command key.  The 'undo' and 'cut' and 'copy' and 'paste are z x c and v but the command key on a PC keyboard is where the 'control' key is on a mac.  You will be giving the wrong command if you use the mac key location and the PC location is a stretch for your thumb to reach.  There is no harm done by plugging in another brand of USB device.
    Jim~

    Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden are considered the best quality, but there may be other reasons why this happens, such as a fault with the superdrive.

    I have an old IMAC using 10.5, and it cannot use any newer operating system. I need a new printer, but I cannot find one that is compatible with this old system.
    Is there a new printer out there that will work with 10.5?
    Thanks,

  • I am using OS 10.4 on my iMac. how do I get an earlier version of Firefox, which would be compatible with my operating system?

    I am using OS 10.4 on my iMac. how do I get an earlier version of Firefox, which would be compatible with my operating system?

    Firefox 3.6.x (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:

  • Firefox prompted me to download an incompatible update that its website claims is compatible with my operating system (Mac OS 10.4.11). Why prompt an incompatible download AND claim it is compatible?

    I have an iMac and use OS 10.4.11 & Firefox 3.6.19. Firefox prompted me to download an update (to 7.0.1). I looked up the system requirements on your website, and it stated the update is compatible with OS 10.4.11. But after I downloaded and installed the update, it failed to work on grounds of incompatibility. Hence 2 questions: (1) Why did Firefox prompt me to download an incompatible update? (2) Why did your website claim the update is compatible with my operating system when it is not?

    Sorry, it's because Firefox 4+ are only compiled for the Intel processors.
    There is a separate project for PPC Macs called Ten Four Fox. You might give it a spin when you're tired of 3.6.

  • I'm a video editor working primarily in FCP7 and just purchased the latest Mac Pro running Yosemite ? Does anyone know if any options have become available for running FCP7 on this platform ?

    I'm a video editor working primarily in FCP7 and just purchased the latest Mac Pro running Yosemite ? Does anyone know if any options have become available for running FCP7 on this platform ?

    It would "run" (more like Sunday stroll or walk) if you installed Snow Leopard in a VM. Especially if you have 6-core (and would help to have 6 or 8 cores anyway if you were able to and intend to make best use of nMP for video editing).
    If you "classic" Mac Pro was 2009 or later, adding two AMD graphic cards, upgrading the processor to 8-core 3.xGHz would have gotten you a FCP-X capable machine and still dual boot and use Snow Leopard as needed.
    Any Mac Pro can now use 1000MB/sec SSD PCIe blade to boot from and/or for scratch and editing to help improve work flow.

  • When I bootup the icon for Elements shows up in orange.  It changes to green only when I've gone to Finder and clicked on Elelments under the Devices list.  This is a recent development.  The icon used to be green upon bootup.  Does anyone know why ?

    I'm sorry to hear that.
    I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago.  I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
    Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
    Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all.  I can go weeks between syncs.
    Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist.  Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one. 
    Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff).  Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
    Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for.  It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.
