I am going to buy a new Imac. Will my old hp pcs 2210 all in one printer be compatible?

ALSO....what is the differnece betw I Mac(PPC0 and I Mac (intel based) ?

Welcome!
I'm asking the Hosts to move your post because of the "PPC/Intel" confusion you encountered, which is poor forum labeling on Apple's part. The processors used in iMacs prior to 2006 were PowerPC (thus the "PPC" nickname) made by Motorola and occasionally IBM. Since 2006, all iMacs have been fitted with processors made by Intel Corp. Very different computers, so there are separate forums. Any iMac you buy new is Intel.
So all the iMac this forum covers were made before 2006; that's why I'm asking the Hosts to move you to the forum for newer iMacs where people with more modern units may have specifi experience with that printer.
Have you searched the HP site? I looked and I see drivers only for up to Mac OS 10.6. This page:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01664444&lc=en&cc=us&destPa ge=document&dlc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_usen#N617
shows the PCS 2200 series is supported for print only under 10.7. So if you need more than printing, you'll need a newer device.

IMac will not recognize scan function of all in one printer

My 24" iMac will print on the HP Photosmart 3210xi All in One, but will not scan.
Twice, (to ensure I didn't miss anything) I have run the manual un-install procedures prescribed from HP, and installed the appropriate driver for Mac with no success.
When I try to scan, the scanner wants to begin, but the computer displays the message, "Sorry, scanner could not be initialized. (Scanner not found.)" We have the correct driver (Not the Print only option).
This printer still works "full-up" on the clunker PC, so it's not a hardware issue with the printer.
Any others with similar all-in-one issues? Solutions?

I had the same problem with my HP Photosmart 2610xi All In One Printer. I went to the HP website and downloaded the full feature software/drivers and now it works great. Below is the software that you should download for your printer...hope it works for you!

Hi, I am going to buy a new iMac desktop. I am going for the 3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel i7, 16 GB RAM and 2TB ATA Drive. I want to know whether I should go for the dual drives option i.e including the 256 GB SSD. I do a lot of 'heavy' media work. Brian

by looking at the specs the laptop is better but if your not a gamer or graphics designer then you most likly wont notice a difference in the performance at all so with that said a few downsides
the processor is i5 the i7 processor is the better processor the graphics card has half the dedicated memory that the laptop has and the hdd compared to the solid state is not much of a difference unless you wanna move your computer all the time you wont need a solid state drive
but like i said before if your not a gamer or graphics designer on your computer you will not notice the difference most likely

My HP 2210 all-in-one printer is not faxing? could I get a new disk to reinstall it so fax will wor

I have had my HP 2210 al-in-one printer for good many years and worked just fine. Now it is not faxing, it say's it is not connected. I have no idea how it got disconnected? I will need the window XP to reconnect it. I had my brother in law install every thing and we cant find the disk? Could I get a disk for the printer and a book so I could reinstall it all and have it working again like it did? Please get back to me and let me know if that is a available to me.

Hi MackFarland,
I see that you're having problems with your printer. I would take a look at the document below.

Let me know how it goes.

I am planning on getting a new IMAC will my old software work on the new mac

I am planning on buying a IMAC so will I have to replace all my software that is on my G4 running 10.5.8 ?

Not ALL of your software, but likely some of it. Right click on an application and click "Get Info." Next to "Kind:" if it says Power PC, it will not work on a new iMac.

I just bought a new iMAC and cannot print with my old HPO Officejet G85 all in one printer. How do I get the printer working.

I copied all of my CD's onto my iMac's hard drive. Now I'd like to buy a new iMac and am wondering how to transfer the music I have loaded on my iMac from CD's on to my new computer w/o going through the process of loading them into my iTunes Library.

I have copied all of my CD's, probably over 100, on to my iMac, through iTunes and now am considering buying a new iMac. Would like to be able to transfer what's in my music library w/o having to recopy all of the CD's. Any thoughts? Can I do it throught the iCloud or do I need to buy and external storage device?
Thanks Brenda

When you buy your new iMac you will be able to have the installation process transfer all your applications, data (including music, pictures, documents, etc) and settings to your new computer. In the past that was done via Firewire. I'm not entirely sure of the process with the new iMacs that don't have firewire. I think it can be done via ethernet and probably via tha thunderbolt cord using a firewire adapter but you'll want to check that out.
    With the your new computer properly connected to your old computer, the initial booting of the new computer will include the ability to move everything over.
    If for some reason you don't want to do that (smart if you have some horrible software issue that is causing problems) you can connect your old computer to the new one and start it in Target Disk mode where it will be seen as a hard drive. You can then manually copy over all your music and import that into iTunes (and any other data you want).
    Somebody here will surely point you to directions for connecting an older iMac with no Thunderbolt to a newer iMac with no Firewire.

Thinking of buying a new imac, but....

Hi peeps,
I've got a bit of a predicament on my hands. I've made a decision that I'm going to by a new imac because I need it for uni and stuff. But I start in September and need it before then for obvious reasons, the other problem is that Leopard is scheduled for October if I'm not mistaken.
A mate told me that I could buy an imac something like 3 months before hand and get the upgrade for leopard free? I just want to confirm that because that would solve it! The only problem with buying like that, they could postpone it more.
But anyways, can anybody confirm that?
Cheers,
Will.

Buying a new iMac. But when!?!?

Hello everyone. I am very excited to say that sometime in the next few months I am going to be getting my second iMac! I bought my first one (a 17" 1Ghz iMac with 768 RAM) about 5 years ago while in college... and it has been a good ride ever since!
The computer still works perfectly for every day stuff, like email, the web, iTunes, and such... but it is really starting to lag when I do iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb, etc. I'm sure most of you know what I am talking about.
I'm finally ready to make the upgrade now that Leopard is here... and I am just trying to make sure that I time it right. When I bought my last one, I made the mistake of buying about 2 weeks before they added USB 2.0... which would have made a huge difference for me, since one of the biggest reasons I am upgrading now is that I can no longer sync my iPhone with the msot recent update which killed USB 1.1 compatability.
But, that is neither here nor there.
Anyway, I am hoping to buy in the next 2 months if possible, but for many reasons I want to make sure I time it right.
1) There has been quite a few problems with the first alum gen of iMac screens, graphics cards, etc. I would like to wait for the second revision if possible.
2) Macworld is in January... is there any possibility new iMacs will come out around that time?
3) How far do you guys think Blu-Ray compatability is from being added to macs? When it comes out do you think it will be burnable Blu-Ray or just readable?
I found a website which tracks updates to all of Apple's computers, and attempts to tell you whether the time to buy is right or not, and that seems pretty interesting... http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iMac
But I am curious about what you guys think. If you were in a position to get a new mac... but weren't really in a big hurry... when would you buy? Right away? After Macworld? Wait until the next version comes out (whenever that is)? I guess there are nearly limitless options here, and obviously you can't always wait because things like this are always changing and always improving.
But, nonetheless, would you wait for the next revision? When do you think it will take place?

It's unlikely there will be any changes to the recently released iMacs at Macworld Expo. I've just recently purchased a 24" 2.8GHz iMac w/750GB HD, and immediately upgraded to 4GB with Crucial memory, and it's working out great.
The ATI HD 2600 video card issue was resolved in early November. Anyone having a problem now is probably having a hardware issue, vice the software issue fixed by the early November patches (1.2 for Tiger/1.3 for Leopard). My iMac was built in week 45, and has had NO video anomalies at all, certainly no freezes attributed to the video card issue.
The front of the new iMac is covered with a large sheet of glass, which is very reflective. However much that concerns you depends on you. It concerns me not at all. The new iMac 24" LCD is very bright, overpowering any reflections while the Mac is in use. There's a window behind me that I've never noticed while using the Mac.
The only issues I've had with the new iMac involved incompatible apps I migrated over from my old 2.7GHz G5 Tower. I've weeded the troublesome apps out and my Mac is now working perfectly.
It's probably wise to wait for Macworld Expo the third week in January to see if there are any surprises, but you should have no concerns about the currently shipping 24" iMacs. They're great machines.

Ok, so i bought a imac 27 about 4 months ago, and now they release a new one! ****... So my question is, should I sell this one (which by the way is the i5 2.8 with 1 gb 5750 and 4gb ram) and buy the new imac 27 i5,or keep the one i have and buy more ram

I mostly use my computer for photoshop cs5 and illustrator cs5 for graphics out put as well as surfing the web and music.
Please give me you thoughts on what I should do!! Thanks lot!

The new iMac is about 25% or so faster than your current iMac(comparable model would be the 3.1ghz version). There are a couple of things that you will benefit from such as the dual Thunderbolt/Mini Display ports/ which may help with multitasking. The video card in the new iMac again the comparable model being the 3.1ghz is a lotttttttt better than the current one that you have. So thinking of the long run those few things may be beneficial for you to upgrade(but it depends on what is important to you).
I had the 2.93ghz i7 version that I just bought in March this year and I turned around and sold it about a week before the new iMac's were announced. I got about $1600 for it, yeah I took a loss but to me it was worth it because my new iMac performs that much better. Now keep in mind I went from i7 to i7...3.4ghz i7 with the 2gb video card. Now I have dual thuderbolt/mini display ports. I have noticed significant gains in my video editing and also in my gaming. So to me it was definitely worth the upgrade!
One last thing, I would not have sold my 2.93 i7 and then bought the 3.1ghz i5, the big reason is because HT(hyper threading), it's only on the i7 model(3.4ghz)... If you take a look at some of the bench marks on engadget, maclife, macrumors, macworld, ****Barefeats.com(they really get into benchmarking)*** you will see charts that will help you make a better decision.
In closing I would say look into it, if you can get a good price out of your current iMac to put toward a new iMac then do it. Like others have mentioned to you, tech changes and Apple will change the tech in these machines next year or do a speed bump later this year or so. One last thing if you go from the 2.8 i5 up to the 3.4 i7, you would definitely see the difference (HT is a must especially for programs that utilize it. You can go to my youtube channel(mob1278) and take a look at my geekbench results.... my 2.93 i7 scored around 10500-11000(8gb ram)...my 3.4 i7 scores from 12700-13000 with 4gb ram....so yeah as you can see big difference. Basically the 3.4 i7 would perform similar or just under a 2.4ghz 8core 2010 Mac Pro which runs you about $3500 with no monitor.... it's your money spend it how you want....and Lion is only going to push it even more when it is released!

New to the iMac and apple

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you aren't going to use your Mac for anything special (Final Cut, Aperture, Photoshop, games...), you don't need that graphic card and you will save money.
Also, as it looks like you are going to buy the 27-inch iMac, I recommend you to buy the Mac with 8 GB of memory, and then, buy the memory that your iMac needs in OWC or Crucial (the iMac supports 32 GB of RAM) > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/2012_27/DDR3L
Doing this, you will save a lot of money. Also, it won't void the warranty of the Mac. If you need help installing the RAM, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5540

I bought my first iMac 27" i5 in November 2011 last year.
Do you think there would be a update that will Features a Retina Display, Siri etc ??
So my iMac will be the same as the new one that will be released this year,
Or will I have to buy a new iMac to get all these new updates ??
It would be a shame if I did because my iMac is only 6months old if that ..
Kind regards Simon Trott Apple user and proud of it

We're not allowed to speculate on future or rumoured Apple products, but we all know there'll always be newer tech coming along.
The iMac you have is an excellent machine, be happy with it and get a good few years use out of it. By the time your machine is slowing down, whatever comes next will have been updated numerous times.
I had the 2011 i5 27" delivered about 3 weeks ago. It's a cracking machine
