HT3669 What printer works with the Mac G5 10.5.8?

I am looking fo r a printer that works with the Mac G5 10.5.8. I bought the Epson XP-410. Th Drive will not download, I recive the message tha tit is not supported by the archectecture.

The problem is, Epson has not indicated if they made their 10.5 or 10.4 drivers PowerPC compatible.
Apple transitioned to Intel with 10.4.4, but allowed PowerPC owners to use up to 10.5.8.
You should try to select either the 10.5 or 10.4 drivers from Epson, changing the 10.9 pulldown menu on the website. If neither work tell Epson they need to indicate if it is Intel Only on their website.
I noticed the filename is the same for 10.5.8 or later:
epson15207.dmg
Since no PowerPC compatibility exists in 10.6.8 or later, it suggests that driver is only for Intel. Only the 10.4 drivers are different, so you should try them in this file:
epson15458.dmg

What processors work with the Mac mini?

Hello everyone!
I've got the previous gen mini, and unless it is too expensive, I'd like to get a 7200 rpm HDD and a new processor. I can't seem to find what socket the mini uses or what processors will work.
Any insight is appreciated!
On a completely unrelated note, how do I clean out the trackball on my Mighty Mouse?

You're looking for an Intel Core 2 Duo "Merom" in the T7000 series which is a Socket P. If I am not mistake, the highest chip you can find that works is the T7700. It's pricey: $300+.

Hi anyone got a SAMSUNG SCX-4200 PRINTER working with a Mac ?

Hi has anyone managed to get a Samsung scx-4200 printer working with a mac?
2011 driver was the last driver update for mac i hear, downloaded tried a couple but no luck!!!

okay, from what I've read, samsung driver support lies with Apple and not Samsung, so if you can, do a software update
you can try here, apparently, for something that sorta works with your printer

other than that, Gutenprint maybe?
for scanning, I don't know, maybe vuescan

Will Most Windows Peripherals work with the MAC Pro?

Im considering getting a MAC Pro... Unfortunately, I just invested on 2 PCI-E graphics cards (256 MB each)... will they work with the MAC Pro? Will apple sell me a MAC Pro with little options?

Only PCIe cards with EFI type BIOS, so no. They will work in Windows just fine, just not in OS X.
The stock configuration is fine and probably ideal anyway with the Nvidia 7300 GT, though most would recommend Radeon X1900 XT
There is only one 16x lane slot.
you might want to wait until Apple 'refreshes' the one year old Mac Pro line, either in the fall or wait until January MacWorld SF show. (eventually AMDs and Nvidia's latest offerings due later this year have a 99.999% chance of being adopted in some form).

Does The Apple USB Modem Work With The Mac mini ??????

Just wanted to know if anyone has successfully used the new Apple USB Modem with the Mac mini, is it compatable ????
Thank you for your input on this.
Mike D.

It says it works with the Mac mini, but does it really? I just received my modem yesterday and could not get it to work with my 1.42 mini - the more expensive one that comes without a dialup modem! I looked carefully at the specs and it appears the Apple USB modem requires Mac OS 10.4.3, not the 10.4.2 that comes with the Mac mini.
Talk about stupid! And the mini docs say it comes with the "latest" version of Tiger. Not! So I can download the upgrade, I guess. IF I could get on the internet! This is extremely annoying. I guess I'll have to download the upgrade on another computer and transfer it somehow. Boy, those Apple guys sure are tech geniuses, aren't they???

Would these Viewsonic Monitors work with the Mac Mini?

Hi,
I ordered the latest mac mini and I need to order a monitor...Due to my budget constrainsts I cannot order a Dell Ultrasharp, so I'm looking at a viewsonic...
.I want to do some webdesign on it, so I don't need a lot of color accuracy ....But would this work with the Mac mini?
ViewSonic VX2363smhl-w 23-Inch SuperClear IPS LED Monitor 1920x1080
do I need to buy any type of cable? the conectors it has are
15-pin mini D-sub (VGA) / HDMI (x1) , HDMI/MHL (x1)

Those monitor's will work fine.
One will connect to the Mac Mini's HDMI output port using the supplied HDMI cable.
For the other you will need either a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter or better yet a Mini Display Port to HDMI adapter.

http://store.apple.com/us/product/HFQL2VC/A/moshi-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-adapt er-4k
Either will work for the second monitor, but personally I would go with the (Digital) HDMI adapter instead of the (Analog) VGA adapter.

What monitor best works with the MAC Pro

I'm thinking of buying a MAC PRO. What Monitor best works with a MAC Pro?

Whatever Monitor you like, exclusively. There are adapters available for everything.
Analog VGA is not a good idea. It's a Digital world. But it can be done if you want.
A TV set is not a Monitor. TV sets are for moving pictures, and may do badly with stable pictures, fine lines, parallel lines, smooth-edged text, and adjacent patches of bright colors.
Wider than 1920 needs special attention to details.

Is there a USB 3.0 Hub that really works with the Mac Mini?

My Mac Mini's four USB 3.0 ports work fine with my four USB Seagate GoFlex 3.0 hard drives. The drives mount at startup, and perform at expected USB 3.0 speeds. But, when I connect the drives to a USB 3.0 HUB to free up the Mac's USB ports for other devices, typically two of the USB Seagate drives will mount at startup, but two won't. There's a fix for this: after startup, I simply disconnect AC power from the drives that didn't mount, and reconnect the power a few seconds later. Now all my drives are mounted, they perform properly, and other USB devices connected to other Mac Mini USB ports (a mouse, a USB midi interface) work just fine as well. It's annoying, though, to have to perform this extra disconnect-reconnect step every time. I've tried two different USB 3.0 HUBs -- one from Uspeed and one from Satechi -- and I have exactly the same problem with both. Question: Is anybody else experiencing the same thing with a late 2012 Mac Mini and a USB 3.0 Hub? Has anybody found a 3.0 Hub that doesn't have this issue with the Mac Mini?

The USB 3.0 hub instability problems extend beyond the Mac-Mini, as addressed below.
At long last we're seeing progress in getting 2012 Macs to work with USB 3.0 hubs. As discussed on this and other discussion groups I've had a horrible time with my MacBook Pro Retina being unstable with USB 3.0 hubs. I know many of you have also or you wouldn't be reading this posting.
In June 2012 I bought one of the first 2012 MacBook Pro's with a Retina display. It's been a battle since with Apple selling what appears to be an incompatible or unstable system to effectively communicate with the USB 3.0 hubs. You'll see vendors now making comments that Apple is the source of the problem.
I've been through USB 3.0 issues with two MacBook Pro Retina laptops. I've also tested a Uspeed hub, with 3 portable USB 3.0 drives connected, at the Apple Store. This was on a newer model MacBook Pro Retina, and also on a 27" iMac. All had instances where drives failed to mount during the short period allowed for testing. (Because of time constraints, we were unable to test at the Store for spontaneous and unprovoked unmounting of drives connected to the hub. These problems have existed since the beginning on my rMBP.)
I am now on my 20th hub that has been purchased, or provided for testing. They varied from 4-Port to 10-Port powered hubs and involved 11 brand names. Comments were posted on Amazon, Tiger, and others for most of the ones purchased, and some that were tested. Some, like the HooToo specifically warned against use with Macs in the manufacturer's manual and, as I learned, for good reason. That was reflected in my comments for the drive on Amazon.
The Plugable 7-Port USB 3.0 powered aluminum-finish hub that I have been testing since October 13 was provided by Plugable after the first one, purchased through Amazon, was returned as unreliable. This 3rd, and newer generation Plugable hub uses the VIA VL812 chipset with the new version 90.81 firmware. My experience over the last 4+ weeks with this hub has been solid. While there have been problems with Eject errors, none were traced to the hub electronics. (Problems with intermittent connections at the cable connectors appeared to be the cause of the disconnect errors. Almost all of the failures were traced to intermittent Micro-B connectors, but that's another story.)
In addition to the greatly improved reliability of this hub, I find several features of this Plugable to be a plus including:
The plug engages fully to the "hilt" when plugged into the hub giving a solid connection, as occurs on the MacBook Pro Retina USB 3.0 ports. Others hubs typically had a gap between the "hilt" of the connecting end, and the hub allowing for lateral movement. With some hubs this allowed for intermittent connections if the cable was disturbed.
The on/off switch on the hub allows the hub to be powered down when not in use.
The full size Type-B connectors on the cable at the hub end engage solidly. Hubs with Micro-B connectors have presented intermittent connections in the cable connector.
The aluminum case looks attractive with Macs, IMO, but not a reason to buy.
Overall, Plugable's support is the best I've encountered. I've found their response to questions to be prompt and thorough. This, coupled with their online support articles has put them at the top of my list. They provide news and information that I've not found with other hub vendors.
The article titled "Plugable USB 3.0 7 Port Hub Firmware History" at the below link gives insight into the history of the problems that we've been having with the USB 3.0 hubs on Macs and the firmware updates, regardless of the brand of hub you have. Apparently, if you have the VIA VL 812 chipset, firmware version 85.81, you're in safe territory.
http://plugable.com/2013/10/30/plugable-usb-3-0-hub-firmware-upgrades2
(One of the Plugable hubs appears identical to the black 7-Port Uspeed hub, and both use the VIA VL 812 chipset. They appear to be from the same manufacturer with the real difference appearing to be in the VL812 version of the firmware in the hub.)
Some of the firmware can be upgraded, and some can't. Contact Plugable or Anker if you're affected.
Uspeed has made improvements, but they were still unstable as of the last one I received for testing. In her last reply on 10/13/13 Sunnie with AnkerDirect Customer Support stated:
Unfortunately, the new Firmware version (908x) does not work with the model "68UNHUB-B7U" you have. The hub bellow has much less complaints about Mac issue. We suggest that you order this one.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009Z9M3DY
AnkerDirect Customer Support
Note that the above hub recommended by Anker has an 8th port just for charging iOS devices. Some will see this as a plus. However, the lack of such a port is not seen as a big problem. It's easy and relatively inexpensive to purchase extra 5V power adapters for charging, which is my preference. Plugging and unplugging devices on a hub that is powered "On" presents the potential for movement of the cables. This could interrupt a cable connection and disconnect a drive during data transfer resulting in corrupted files. With 7 and 10 port hubs, and all the cables needed, this gets risky.
I believe the USB 3.0 hub issues we're having are the result of poor design of the Mac's USB 3.0 implementation at the start. Unstable hubs that I've had a friend with Windows 7 test, said they "performed like a dream" on his PCs. This indicates the problem is with Macs, not the (twenty) hubs I've used.
A statement from a support person dealing with USB 3.0 hubs tells what's I've long suspected: " -- the evidence is pointing to something specific to the Apple design (perhaps external to the chipset, like the signal re-driver….."
If you're having USB 3.0 problems, be sure to let Apple know by sending in a Feedback comment to Apple at:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I'm told they read and treat the feedback seriously (although the duration of this USB 3.0 problem makes me wonder if Mavericks and iOS 7 haven't had a higher priority and distracted from this. Microsoft got USB 3.0 right, how about it Apple?)

HT204364 What printers work with the iMac?

Hi I am trying to find a printer that has print, copy, scan and fax that is compatiable with my I mac?

Nearly all "all-in-one" or multifunction devices will work with a Mac, but I recommend purchasing one from a company that visibly supports OS X.
Brother, Canon, and Epson are all good choices.
Wireless all-in-one devices are convenient and cost about the same as USB-only ones. Consider AirPrint compatibility for future needs.
Recently I have grown to favor Brother printers over the others. They are inexpensive, their OS X integration is well-implemented, their consumables are reasonably priced, and their technical support is free forever. If you need to call them and explain that you have a Mac, you will immediately receive competent assistance.
I have grown to dislike HP printers, for all the above reasons.
Read user reviews from vendor websites - Amazon is a good place to start, since Amazon lets people write almost anything they want... right, wrong, or completely idiotic.
Read the reviews on the respective manufacturers' websites as well, but consider the likelihood of them deleting negative reviews.
Process all those user reviews employing your own common sense, and draw your own conclusions.

Can anyone suggest a Lightscribe system that works with the mac?

I bought a LaCie Lightscribe drive. I got it home and was excited because everything was supposed to be plug and play for the Mac. It wasn't. I installed the driver and downloaded the interface to print to the disc. Everything looked like it would work as most stuff does on a Mac --easy.
But when I got to the print dialog box -- it said it couldn't find the drivers. I re-installed, updated, tried different cords, rebooted, rebooted the drive, tried a different interface. It was frustrating because the drive recognized the DVD and tried to let me watch the video in iDVD and Toast recognized the drive.
But when I got ready to print--no drive.
Anyhow, after talking to tech support I boxed it up to send it back to LaCie. Now I am wondering if there is a lightscribe system that will work with a Mac. Anybody have any success stories?

Hi MHaddox
And welcome to apple discussions. LaCie is actually one of the better S-Drives for mac in terms of an external burner (at least from reading this forum). However, I haven't seen too much posted in terms of the Lightscribe feature itself. Perhaps one or more of these links will help (if not just come on back):

What case works with the dock

Hey, I'm looknig for a case that will work with the dock. Are there any out there? I really like using the dock to sync my phone and I'm not happy loosing that feature in order to use a case.
I'm already aware that the iSee case will not work with the dock http://www.contourcase.com/isee/iseeiphone/ . What about the other cases out there?

This looks like it might do the trick:

Just upgraded from a PC to a iMAC, will the PC code work with the Mac to install PSE12 ?

I will be picking up my new iMAC tomorrow and would like to know if the serial number from my PC version of PSE 12 will work with the iMac ?? I am the original owner of PSE 12
and I'd hate waste more money on something that I don't have to do... and i really can't afford to buy the new version of PSE...
Please let me know ASAP.....
thanks,
WT(ted) Sommer

It depends on the type of your purchase. If you bought the boxed version then it must have come with medias for PCs as well as MACs. If this is so then YES your serial number will work with either systems.
If, however, you bought a download version from Adobe website, or your boxed version did not come with both medias then the answer is NO. the serial in this case won't work with MAC version.
Hope this clarifies the current situation as known to us here.
Good luck.

Which basic cheap printer works with the ipad2

I want a basic cheap printer that I can use wirelessly to print from the ipad2 to. Want to print pictures mainly but sometimes so regular docs - don't want scanner, fax etc.
Thanks

Any wireless printer works with AirPrint on the iPad 2. If you only need printing and not scanning, etc. just be sure NOT to get an All-in-one. Other than that, anything is fine.
