I have an iMac running Mavericks would like to  connect/use my Canon CanonScan 8600F scanner or purchase another scanner

I just recently upgraded my Intel iMac to Mavericks and can no longer use my Canon CanonScan 8600F scanner.  What can I do to enable this device with my iMac?  Or, should I consider purchasing another compatible scanner?

I went to the site and at the bottom of the screen that shows my scanner there is nothing listed for any software as their system "sensed" that I had Mavericks installed.  I'll plan on calling their support line on Monday but, I'm not all that positive that there will be a good answer.  Thanks anyway . .

  • I have an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4 I also have about 30 Kodack photo CDs that I wish to convert from PCD to Jpeg but Mavericks will not see the files, they are grey.  Is there any way to convert them?

    I have an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4 I also have about 30 Kodack photo CDs that I wish to convert from PCD to Jpeg but Mavericks will not see the files, they are grey.  Is there any way to convert them or must I do it on another machine?

    iPhoto used to support the PCD format up to a few years ago. It's extremely frustrating that Apple decided to no longer support this format and now I'm directed to pay nearly $40 for an app that will (GraphicConverter 9). Did Lemke Software make a deal with Apple so we'd have to pay a premium for a very overpriced converter? And, how are decisions like this supposed to encourage the use of iPhoto?
    Apple users already pay a premium to use a Mac. Obstacles like these eventually destroy loyalty to the Apple brand. Just ask Microsoft how their back room deals that exploited their customer base worked out for them.

    It has DVI ports.  This means you are best to use an adapter that supports DVI.  Note there is no audio that carries over DVI.  What you need is a mini-Displayport to DVI adapter, and the proper DVI cable. Since Dell doesn't have the specs, you'll need to tell us if you have pins or holes, and how many are grouped.

  • I have an Imac G4 and would like to install USB adapter for wireless internet connectivty. Is this possible with my system ?

    I have an iMac G4 and I am wondering if i could connect it wirellesly to an existing router I have for a PC, using an internet USB adapter ? Would my system be compatible with such hardware ?

    Thanks RC for your reply.
    My router is a Netgear WGR614 v8. Not sure what the encryption is, but i wantto say 128 bit.

  • I have two LED monitors i would like to connect to my Mac Mini.

    I have two LG LED monitors and i would like to run dual monitors on my mac mini. Im running into a problem because i cant find a way to utilize the HDMI port on the back of the mini. For my one working monitor i use the thunderbolt display and convert that to vga. Is there any way to run dual VGA monitors?? i have seen some HDMI to VGA cables online but im not sure if they work due to their negative reviews.

    It would be better to use the DVI (digital) connections instead of the VGA (analog) ones.
    Then you could use the supplied HDMI to DVI adapter and a DVI cable for one monitor and then Apple's Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter for the other. > Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)

  • Hi, I have an iMac running Mavericks that I am trying to hook up an older HDTV as a second HD monitor through the minidisplay port to component 3 color RCA.  HDMI is not an option with this set.  I have SD working, but need to find a HD conversion set up.

    Presently I have a mini display port>VGA adaptor, running to a convertor box I picked up that handles S-video out, which is working fine for SD.  I also have a VGA to Component Video (5 wire RCA) adaptor cable.  Connecting Component adaptor dircetly to the mini display adaptor doesn't seem to work, neither does plugging it into a VGA port on the SD convertor box.  I am guessing there is another convertor box out there that will help me make the transition from mini display to Component.  Even if it means having a handful of adaptors plugged in.  does anyone know where to find such a wonderful and magical device?
    Thanks

    Your setup works fine for DV, because you used a DV deck and most likely DV footage. But now you are working with 720p HD footage (what format, BTW? HDV, dvcpro HD?). That same setup won't work for monitoring HD. Now you need an HD box or card to send out a proper HD signal. And since you have an older G5, you won't find any current solutions. You'll have to look at used capture cards that are PCIx. Or you and look at the Matrox MXO, that connects to the computer via a monitor connection. DVI.

  • To buy or not to buy an entry level 13in MBP? Have a 30in display I would like to connect it to for photo editing and a little video. Any advice?

    In the last year the logic board in both my 17in MBP (5yrs old) and Mac Pro (4yrs old) have died.  The local techies have advised due to cost and age that replacing them would not be worth it in the long run.
    I am thinking to buy the most basic MBP and connecting it to my 30in cinema display would give me the best of both worlds - a desktop option when at home and a laptop for travelling.  Is this a viable option?  I would be using it for photo editing (photoshop) mainly and a little video editing with Final Cut Pro when connected to the cinema display and a little light internet usage, emails and such when on the go. 
    My other question is, do all MBP come with airport/wireless capabilities as standard?  (I had to purchase airport separately when I bought the other computers.
    Thanks in advance

    The 13" MBP is c**p, it's a consumer MacBook quality in a silver case with a "Pro" sticker, comes with poor integrated graphics that overheat when it even looks at a web video, all shiny screens poor for video. Scores a mere 11 on Cinebench.
    Like Sig said, 15" 2.0 (scores 18) or better, 2.2 (scores a decent 30) or better preferred, it has the hefty video card you need to power the external monitor.
    also you get a anti-glare option, excellent for avoiding glare and reflections in portable uses.
    also you may need the quad core i7 for processing video faster, dual cores are toast.
    17" high res has true 1920 x 1080 (1080i) with it's 1920 x 1200 pixel screen, I've got one. Sweet.
    Sad to hear you have been having such a bad run with Mac's, it used to be they lasted 5-7 years or longer easy.

  • I have an imac OS 10.4.11 and am using Safari 2.0.4. I would like to update this. I have 1 Gb memory. Do I need more memory to update my computer? I would also like to add an airport system and something where I could read word applications.

    I have an iMac OS 10.4.11 and am using Safari 2.0.4 I would like to update. I have only original 1 GB memory-do I need more to update?I would also like to add an airport or router and would like to add something where I could open word applications. Is it hopeless?

    Thanks. That's a Mid-2007 model with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. You can run any version of Mac OS X on it up to and including Mac OS X Lion, though for Lion you'd need to increase the memory to at least 2GB, something I'd recommend doing anyway; it's inexpensive and often can increase performance. Your iMac can take up to 6GB if RAM; 4GB is probably a good compromise between cost and performance with a 4GB kit costing about $50.00 US from a reliable vendor such as Crucial.
    Your system already should have included the Airport wireless networking capability, so all you'd need would be a wireless (WiFi) access point (aka "router" or "base station") and an appropriate Internet connection. Apple's Airport Express and Airport Extreme, and the Time Capsule if you'd like to have a built-in hard drive for backups and extra storage, are good choices for a WiFi access point, but there are a number of other manufacturers.
    As to upgrading the operating system, as I said, you can upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, or Mac OSX  10.7 Lion (the most recent release).  Apple no longer lists Mac OS X 10.5 on their web site, but if you call the Apple Store you may still be able to purchase a copy. Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is easily available as is Lion though with Lion you'd need the $69.00 USB flash drive installer or you'd need to purchase and install Snow Leopard first (other than on the flash drive, Lion is only available from the Mac App Store which can only be accessed from Mac OS X 10.6.6. or later). Before you decide, I'd strongly suggest you find out what versions of Mac OS X your applications and perpherals will support, either as they or with a free or affordable update. I'd suspect most of your applications and peripheral drivers would need to be upgraded, at least to support Snow Leopard or Lion. If you consider Lion, make sure of your applications; Lion will no longer run PowerPC-only applications, so many older appliations will not run under Lion.
    Finally, as to Microsoft Word documents which is what I presume you mean, you can of course just purchase Microsoft Office. There are other ways to work with Word documents, though. If you just need to view Word documents, TextEdit in MOSX 10.6 and 10.7 (and perhaps 10.5; I can't remember) can open and view many Word Documents. For something a bit more capable, you can purchase Apple's Pages, part of the iWork suite and now available separately for Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7, or try one of the open-source solutions such as LibreOffice.
    Regards.

  • I have a mid-2011 iMac running Mavericks. When I click restart the computer goes to a white screen with a spinning circle and does not go any further until I hold down the power button to turn it off. What do I do?

    I have a mid-2011 iMac running Mavericks. When I click restart the computer goes to a white screen with a spinning circle and does not go any further until I hold down the power button to turn it off. What do I do?

    Ok, sounds like the safe mode boot worked... You probably don't want to always be in safe mode though (some reduced functionality) so does it do a normal boot now? If not, you should then reboot into safe mode and run Disk Utility. Then select Macintosh HD on the left hand side, and click the Verify Disk button. If needed, it will ask you to Repair Disk. If there are errors found, Repair Disk again until there are none. Then try another normal boot and reply with result, wether good or bad.

    Rephrase..Have 2009 iMac running snow leopard should I upgrade to Mavericks

    If your machine meets the specs, the latest is Yosemite; make sure you check all the requirements as your machine falls right at the back end of being supported - meaning that it will not run at its maximum speed due to an older processor. You'd also need an absolute minimum opf 4 GB RAM - 8 would be much better.

  • What is the best Book Cataloguing software for iMac. I have about 5000 books I would like to bar-code scan into my iMac. Thanks

    What is the best software for cataloguing a large book collection into my iMAc. I would like to use a hand-held scanner, and scan bar codes, entering ISBN numbers only when necessary. Currently using Book Collector (www.collectorz.com) on a PC. desktop

    I did something similar and used an application for my phone (Android OS at the time), which I can't recall the name of, to bulk scan the bar codes and subsequently upload the list to my mac in the form of an excel spreadsheet (it was a csv file). When I migrated to an iPhone, the application "Bar code scanner" performed in the same manner. Using my phone was by far the easiest method of bulk scanning (and subsequently cataloguing on my machine) in both instances.

  • Mid-2007 iMac Running Mavericks Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Install

    How do I go about installing a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit (OEM) partition on a mid-2007 iMac running Mavericks?
    Apple  says that 64-bit Windows 7 isn't supported by my model iMac, but I know  for a fact that other people have gotten it to work. I'm just a little  unclear on how exactly to do it. In any case, I made the mistake of  buying two copies of Windows 7 64-bit under the assumption that they  would install just fine on my iMac and MacBook Pro (MacBook Pro is from 2007 as well), so I need to get  this working.
    What version of Boot Camp should I use? What version  support drivers should I download? Apple says that Boot Camp 5.1, which  is what I have, is incompatible with my iMac, and it says the same  thing for every driver download that supports 64-bit versions of Windows  7, but would it be correct to say that this "incompatibility" is only the case if I don't  first modify my Windows 7 installation disc according to the  instructions in the attached link?
    There is a Windows XP  partition on my MacBook Pro, so I figure I can get on it to modify the  installation disc before attempting a 64-bit Windows 7 install on the  iMac.

  • Safari (7.0.6) on my iMac running Mavericks (10.9.4) is not saving web pages (web archives)

    Hi.  Not familiar with forums but hope to get some help.
    Safari (7.0.6) on my iMac running Mavericks (10.9.4) is not saving web pages (web archives).
    I've used the following path:
    File > Save As >then Format > Web Archive 
    It saves a file but when I click on its icon it opens up to the 'Top Sites' page (as when you click on the + for a new tab) not a saved web archive of the web page I was on.
    I have no such problem with Safari on my MacBook Pro running Lion. 
    The iMac hardware details are: 2.7 Gz Intel Core i5 with 8 gb of RAM .  The software update tells me I'm up to date.
    Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance. 
    Errol.

    It could be malware that's causing the archive /  Top Sites problem.
    Download and run the adware removal tool here >   The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
    Easy, safe, and only takes a minute or two.
    If no malware is found ...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
