I have an IMac and would like to scan and edit scans can anyone suggest a scanner for the Mac

Help.  I have an IMac and I want to scan and be able to edit my scans and I have received so many different opinions on how to do this.  Buy a separate scanner or buy an all in one that scans but you have to get software to edit. It is really confusing so before I purchase a scanner I need to know if anyone else is doing this and what machine should I buy. Thanks for the help.

Hi and thanks for replying. I have a management company and I would like to scan a document and then be able to go in and make changes if necessary.  Some people told me to purchase a Fujitsu 1500 scanner for the Mac which costs about 500.00 but didn't think I needed something that sophisticated and then another opinion was to get an all in one but I need software to edit and no one seems to know what software to purchase. Thanks again for your input.
Get the Fujitsu (Get the M1500, the S1500 is for Windows), it comes with ABBy Fine Reader OCR software that is probably less good than Vuescan but for printed text works just fine, handwriting is a different matter. It is about $500 (look around, under $400 is sometimes possible) don't buy the S version, none of the software will work on a Mac. I've used this scanner fairly often, it's better than the price would suggest.

    iTunes is part of OS X, which implies that iTunes was deleted, or that your OS X installation is corrupt.  In either case, the easiest approach usually involves downloading the combo update for OS X — the so-called combo update, and not the delta update — and installing that.
    Applying or re-applying the OS X combo update won't alter your user files, but will reload all recent OS X changes, and should also cause iTunes to be re-loaded.
    If you are running Mavericks 10.9, then download and install the OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 combo update. 
    You'll want to have a backup of your system — updates don't fail often, but they can fail.  If you don't have Time Machine or some other form of backups running, get that going first; before further changes here.

  • I have iMovie 09. I just erased my external hard drive, but it is still formatted for the mac. However, iMovie will not recognize the hard drive. It shows the only hard drive available is the computers. How do I get the external hard drive to show up?

    In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
    Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
    Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
    If it does contain data...

    Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
    Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
    Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
    AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet.  It's not designed to.  if the work computer was on the home network it would.
    iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2.  Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
    Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

  • I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro- can not work on FCP simultaneously when my network ports are on (open). How do I go about changing this?

    Hi!
    I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro and can not work simultaneously on FCP on all workstations when the network port is open. Can anyone help me on this?

    Did you purchase Final Cut Pro from the Mac app store? Or install it from disk? If from disk, you may have installed it on all machines using the same serial number, and using all of them simultaneously violates the license agreement. If you purchase from the App store the licensing is different and that may not apply.

  • My Ifone 4g stolen in a cafe.I have my IMEI and Serial no can Anyone tell me that how can i track or get my phone back please......?

    My iphone 4 was stolen yeterday in a cafe. I have its IMEI and serial no so what could i do to get back or track my Iphone????? can anyone help me please????????????????????????

    The only way to locate your phone is through Apple's Find My Phone service. However, you would have had to setup/activate Find My Phone before your phone was lost/stolen, and it must be turned on & the phone have internet access. You would then login to iCloud.com, from any computer, & hopefully locate your phone. If you didn't setup Find My Phone, there is no way to locate your phone. Report the loss to the police & your carrier. Change your passwords.

    Make sure airplane mode is off and wifi is on. If no go try restoring in itunes and if that fails you will most likely need to call apple or go to an apple store to get a repair

  • I am planning to buy an iPad. I already have an iPhone and a Macbook Pro. Should I wait for the new iOS 8 to arrive?

    Greetings,
    I am wondering about the upgrade coming up, to iOS 8. Should that affect whether I buy and iPad now, or not?

    No, it shouldn’t. Unless you’re getting a first generation iPad(which isn’t capable of running iOS 8), you’ll be able to update for free.

  • When I open Adobe Acrobat, the menu onthe left is always set to 'Layers'.  I have tried to change it to 'Pages' without any luck.  Can anyone suggest a fix?

    When I open Adobe Acrobat X, the menu on the left is always set to 'Layers'.  How can I change it to always be set to 'Pages'?

    Most of the time you see something like that. The image in question has a color profile other then sRGB. Some image viewers/displayers are color managed and others are not.  So the image do not look the same in all of the applications you use. So colors seem to change.
    Try converting it to sRGB color and see if then looks the same all around. Also I think PC and Mac displays are set to different gamma something like 1.8 and 2.2
    Though I'm colorblind I even see color variations.

    Can I use AirPlay on my MacBook Air?  I have an iMac, and it works great with Apple TV.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a Mid 2011 or newer MacBook Air. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 If it's compatible, you have two possibilities:
    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. Then, you will be able to turn on AirPlay on System Preferences > Displays.
    2. Keep with OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    Both options work properly

    I am a teacher who would love to create the game "who wants to be a millionaire" with my own questions.  I would use this for test reviews.  I can't not find something for the mac.  It is out there for the PC, but my class room is mac based.  I can't use anything that will allow me to run the mac in windows, either.  Anyone know of a software that will allow me to input my own questions?  Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

  • Hi, I have bought Photoshop and Premiere Elements for windows, but I now have a iMac and would like to deactivate on the PC and transfer the programs to the iMac. Is that possible even do I bought it for Windows?

    Hi, I have bought Photoshop and Premiere Elements for windows, but I now have a iMac and would like to deactivate on the PC and transfer the programs to the iMac. Is that possible even do I bought it for Windows?

    Normally an Elements purchase is good for both platforms.  You should only need to download and install the Mac versions of the programs and install and activate them using the serial number you have from the opriginal purchase.
