Hi Bill,
Not possible to run Tiger on a new Mac at all.
The good news is that VueScan supports many Mikrotek scanners & is free to try...

Trying to run Tiger on an external drive for Pro Tools LE on a new iMac...
okay, i am buying an mbox2 that runs pro tools LE (which, as we all know, is not yet supported by leopard), and i am also buying an iMac 20-inch 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT with 128MB memory (with leopard pre-installed). i've read in some forums that people have been formatting an external firewire 800 drive an installing tiger on it so as to use it as the startup disc when running pro tools LE. i basically have two questions regarding this:
1) does anyone think this would not work? why? and
2) will i be able to install tiger on the external drive using my macbook pro osx install disc that came with my laptop? (it's a tiger 10.4.8 install disc, but it does say "macbook pro" on it, so i'm wondering if apple doesn't allow you to install these on anything other than the laptops). my laptop is a macbook pro 2.16 GHz intel core duo.
thanks in advance for your help. please let me know if there's any other information i need to provide.
-mikeI run my Pro tools from an external drive on my iMac and have no problems. Digidesign say this:
+To use Pro Tools LE 7.x currently, you will need to boot from a Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) startup system.+
+If you choose to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), you will need to install Leopard on a separate hard drive or drive partition.+
+If you purchase a new Mac with Mac OS X 10.5 preinstalled, you will need to install Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) on a separate hard drive or drive partition.+
+If you are purchasing a new Mac with Mac OS X 10.5 preinstalled, check with Apple to see if your computer is able to boot from Mac OS X 10.4.+
You may well have problems using your MBP disks however. I would suggest buying a copy of Tiger. -
i have my serial number. I bought this macbook pro in Cleveland Ohio, and it is still under warranty. Now I am travelling in India and my disk drive is not working. need local help. in chennai. I also need to retriwve my warranty paper online, as I am right now in chennai ad all my docs are in Cleveland.
You posted in the iPad forum instead of the MacBook Pro forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

I have a macbook pro, but the amount of pictures I have now exceeds 500GB
I want to have all the pictures in iPhoto, so I could see them and edit them in iPhoto.
Which means... I need the iPhoto file folder in an external HDD to use iPhoto that way.
Can i move the iPhoto folder onto an external HDD?
Will it work the same way, as if the iPhoto folder is on the internal drive?yes
yes
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Sorry new Imac does not appear to have a Mini dp

The new iMacs also do not have a Firewire port so if you have firewire devices you will need a Thundbolt to FW adapter.

a few months ago I bought an imac 27 inch late 2013 .. §16GB - and flash memory) - 3,3 Ghz Intel Core 15
ever since I have continuously problems with my external HDD that disconnect all the time and cause problems in other software (Lightroom, Adobe PS CS6) ... it is not a HDD problem, because it occurs with my 3TB WD HDD (Time Machine), my 1TB WD and 1TB IOMEGA
any one have a solution? anyone dealt with this problem in the apple care program?You are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare. Call them. Let them deal w/it.

I am looking at buying a new iMac but not sure if I need the Nvidia Geforce GTX 680 MX 2GB or put the money into Memory I will not be gaming
New to the iMac and appleWelcome 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 upgraded to OS Yosemite on my MacBook Air...and I cannot upgrade the Adobe Flash download that Adobe keeps asking me to download. I get the screen and when I click on the icon it just creates a new window but not download. Thoughts?
I just tried the link and it is just fine. If the GateKeeper pops up then open Security & Privacy preferences, click on the General tab, set the last radio button to Anywhere.

Why do I keep getting a message that my new iMac is not compatible to download Mountain Lion OS? How do I fix that?
Is it brand new with ML preinstalled?
If so, your only way to download is to use the recovery method (hit keys Command + R while restarting). Can't use the app store.
Why are you trying to download? -

Hi, is there a way to "force-mount" an external drive that doesn't show up on the desktop? I have a new Hitachi SATA III 2 TB Ultrastar that won't show up like all the other drives when plugged in. So I can't partition, repair, format etc with Disk Utility, Disk Drill, Tech Tools etc. How do I make it visible?
I use the FW 400 to 800 adapter and a FW hub.
Thanks,
W.ok, I did find the log in Diskutil of what happened, I just can't figure out why it happened and how to start over:

My new iMac is not shipping with Lion installed. Will I be able to do a Migration from my PC to my new iMac? I only want to transfer photos and my music, currently on my PC (and on my iPod Touch & iPad).
Can anyone give me a list of steps to follow or let me know if Migration Assistant is available prior to Lion for PC to Mac?
Thank you so so so much!
-SweetDeeSweetDee,
I'd be VERY surprised if your machine was not shipping with Lion installed. However even if it doesn't when you initally install Lion it will launch into Setup Assistant, if you follow the prompts it will ask if you are migrating from another machine. You can use Pondini's Lion Setup Assistant tips for help, look for the section(s) on MS Windows migration. Also I would strongly recommend bookmarking and studying the following sites:
Switch 101
Mac 101

In closing remember you have 90 days of free telephone support with AppleCare. If you run into trouble they will be happy to assist or if you have an Apple Store in your area you can book an appointment with a Genius and they can usually help you out. -
I have firefox set up on my old laptop exactly how I want, is there anyway of trasferring it to my new laptop?
You can do this manually by copying the relevant files and folders, for details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] or [[backing up your information]].
A couple of other options are the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109/ FEBE] add-on which can be used to copy the profile (location where user data is stored), or the free [http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ MozBackup] utility. -

Hi there, I've upgraded my Snow Leopard iMac to Yosemite 10.10.1 and I would like to install Windows 8.1 using bootcamp. However, there's a pop-up saying that my Mac is only supporting Windows 7. Is there a way to change that, please? Thanks
Please find your Mac Model Identifier from About This Mac -> (More Info) -> System Report -> Hardware and compare it to the following list. If your model identifier appears in this list, you can only install Windows 7.
