I'm looking for a good replacement printer to use with MacBook Pro. I currently have an Epson 610 Series.

Hi,
I've had a MacBook Pro since January 2013 and and Epson 610 series printer-scanner-fax for several years. I may be replacing the printer. For my purposes (printing some articles from the internet, Word documents, book reports, and some PHOTO QUALITY PICTURES) it has worked just fine. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a printer-scanner combo (it doesn't matter if it has a fax option or not) that is MAC friendly, user-friendly, can print photo quality pictures (I do not print them often), and is reasonably priced ($300.00)? Any and all help is sincerely appreciated! Thank you in advance!

There's a list of manufacturers of AirPrint-enabled printers on the linked page. I don't have a specific recommendation. The good thing about AirPrint is that it works with OS X as well as iOS, and there's no software to install or keep updated. The printer must be connected to a network with its built-in interface.

  • What is an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro?

    Can anyone suggest an easy web-page creation program for use with MacBook Pro?  I have used FrontPage with my PC, but am changing to a MacBook Pro.

    It largely depends on your skill level. Do you want to write web page code, or do you want to just design something and have it turn into a web page automatically?
    If you are more of a designer, try these:
    RapidWeaver
    Freeway Pro
    Muse
    If you want to write web page code, try these:
    Coda
    BBEdit
    Dreamweaver
    If you really don't want to write the code and want the best experience for your viewers, and you want to spend the least amount of time on it, my recommendation is:
    No program at all.
    Instead, sign up with a web site company like:
    WordPress.com (hosted by them) or WordPress.org (hosted on your server)
    Squarespace
    Wix
    The reason is that these companies have fully operational, nicely designed web site templates that you just fill in with your words and pictures, and they are ready to go. They also give you these benefits:
    Already designed to the latest web standards
    Already designed to resist hackers
    Already designed to work on all browsers
    Already designed to automatically adjust the page for readability on desktop, laptop, tablet, and smartphone screen sizes
    Already designed for accessibility
    Already designed for Search Engine Optimization so that your page will be found on Google
    Already designed with social media links built in if you want
    It is not like the old days where you build a site in Front Page and you assume it will only be seen on a desktop computer. If you build it yourself with a web page program, do you have the knowledge to make a site that works on all of the different web browsers and mobile devices, and is friendly to search engines and social media? If you don't have those skills, working with a website company can be a lot better, faster, and more reliable than trying to hammer all of that out yourself using code in some app.

  • What's a good HD camera to use with Premiere Pro CS4

    I've used Premiere Pro CS4 for a while now and most of the time I don't have any problems, but recently, I've been buying HD cameras, shooting some AVCHD and then having a hell of a time getting them to play nice with Premiere Pro (or WMindows Media Player... or Quicktime... or anything but their crappy bundled software that won't let me edit or anything). My girlfriend says I should give up and buy a Mac and use FCP, but I like Premiere Pro. I'm about to take another camera back to Best Buy and I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for the easiest camera to use with Premiere Pro.
    In case you're wondering, I've bought a Canon Vixia HF10 and a Samsung HMX-H100 so far and both had every issue I can think of from codec incompatibility to aspect ratios changing to A/V sync being lost to all-out-I-don't-know-WTF-just-happend-errors. I just want a camera that's going to give me a file I can drop straight into Premiere.

    Unless you want a new computer, forget about AVCHD. It requires too much muscle to edit comfortably on anything but the fastest computer.
    What camera is nice, depends on your budget. Formats that are easy to edit are HDV, DVCProHD (P2) and XDCAM. In the consumer range you could look at the Canon HV40 or XH-A1s, in the prosumer range look at the Panasonic AG-HPX170, Canon XH-H1s, JVC GY-ND250 or Sony HVR Z5 or Z7 and all Sony XDCAM cameras, especially the EX1 and EX3. In the professional range look at the Sony PDW-F355 or upward.

  • Printing problems using a macbook pro and an hp photosmart 309g printer

    I am using a macbook pro with lion 10.7.4.  I have been printing on a wireless hp photosmart 309g printer and all of a sudden, on 90% or more of what I try and print, every once in a while a line wil print but the rest is faded or you might say smeared.  I have been having it for over a year (the printer) and it has worked just fine with my macbook pro.  Could someone please tell me if they have had this problem.  It is not my ink, I uninstalled the printer and reinstalled it.......  PLEASE HELP ME.

    You can try resetting the printing system. Just secondary click below the list of printers in the white space, when you are  in print and scan preferences.

  • How to print double sided with macbook pro on Samsung CLX-3180?

    Hi,
    I recently switched to using a macbook pro but cannot figure out how to print double sided/two-sided.
    The printer I am using is Samsung CLX-3180 and it allows double-sided printing. I was able to do this with my windows computer previously.
    The frustrating thing is that I see the two-sided feature but I cannot figure out how to turn it on. There is no option to change it.
    It is listed here.
    First, I go to "show presets."
    Then, I click on "copies & pages" but I cannot turn it on.
    Does anyone know how to turn it on?
    Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi nat.the.musical,
    If you are having issues selecting two-sided printing from the Print window, you may find the following article helpful (it is aimed at Mountain Lion, but should also apply to Mavericks):

  • Looking for a good laser printer for OSX 10.6.8

    I need a decent laser printer.  Using Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6.8.  I've given up trying to get the drivers to work on our office Xerox Workcentre 7328.  I keep getting the "OTC at end of life" error and I'm sick of trying to download drivers and try this and that.  All I need is to print text.  I will buy a separate scanner for scanning pictures (any recommendations on that as well?).  I have been seeing issues with Lion and with our Xerox troubles, I'm a little gun shy now.  I was considering the Brother Printer HL2230 I saw on Amazon. 
    Does anyone have other recommendations or experiences to share?  As far as the scanner goes, I'm looking for something for less than $100 if possible.  This would be mostly for scanning pictures to put into slide shows.  I found this one, also on Amazon:  Epson Perfection V300 Photo Scanner (B11B193081)
    Opinions?
    Jason

    If you want to avoid any trouble in the future with new versions of OS X then as Bob has suggested the best action is to get a laser printer that supports Postscript. Looking at the specs for that Brother, it is a GDI device, meaning that may have rely on Brother producing an updated driver if the current driver does not work on the new OS. Now if you are not likely to update when the new cat is released then you should be fine. And there is also a chance that the current drivers will work. But Postscript support does future proof your printer, although it will cost more than $80 which is very cheap. If you do get that Brother make sure you also get the high yield toner cartridge which is a separate purchase. The starter cartridges included with the printers generally have a quarter of the toner that a full cartridge has.
    As for the scanner, I've read good reviews about that Epson so it looks like a winner.

  • Looking for a good document on family syncing with iCloud and multiple iOS devices

    We have recently migrated off of Android devices for the whole family except for a Kindle Fire HD for my daughter.  We all have an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch type device that we want to sync our family calendars/reminders/notes to.  Is there a good document on how to setup this family environment so that our notes/reminders/appointments are all in sync on each other's device. That way we all know what each other is doing. Do we each have to have a separate Apple ID or do we all share the same Apple ID to make this syncing work.  I think I get how to make this work between my PC, 2 - iPhones (work and personal) and iCloud Web.  Now how do I layer on my other family members into my calendar digital Cloud?  HELP ME PLEASE.  I HAVE A DIGITAL MESS.
    Right now I have a personal Apple ID for my personal devices, new iPhone 6 Plus coming.  I have a separate Apple ID for my Work iPhone 4s.  My wife and kids have iPhone 5s.  Wife and son have an iPad.
    Please tell me I don't have to go see Rush Limbaugh to figure out how to make all this work.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    You could each have separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs, and also share a "family" account for syncing a family calendar, notes and reminders.  That will allow you to maintain still keep your contacts, and other data and photo streams separated while having access to the shared the family data in the secondary account.  It also gives everyone their own free 5GB of storage for their backups, etc.  The shared family calendar, notes and reminders will appear alongside your other calendars, notes and reminders in the corresponding apps on your devices.  You'll just need to be sure to select the correct account within these apps when entering data to ensure it is added to either your personal or the shared family account.
    To do this, create your primary accounts in the usual way, by going to Settings>iCloud and signing in with separate IDs and turn on the data sets you want to sync with iCloud.  Then create a secondary account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with a different ID and have everyone add this account to their devices as a shared family account.  You can sync mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders with the secondary account, although you may want to just turn on calendars, notes and reminders.
    You can continue to share the same iTunes store ID on all devices if you wish.  It does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.  Also, each person should use their own ID (such as the primary iCloud ID) for iMessage and FaceTime, otherwise you'll end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.
    If you don't want to do all of this, and are primarily concerned about sharing your calendars, you can do that as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a8694.
    Another option to consider is to look into the new Family Sharing feature of iOS 8 if all of your devices will support iOS 8: https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/.  The details on this haven't been released yet but should start to appear after it is released tomorrow.

  • Looking for remote control App (iPhone) to use with iMovie

    I just got a Macbook Air, and my infrared Apple remote control doesn't work with it.
    I wanted to be able to do presentations (in this case using iMovie) and be able to have a remote so that I could pause, go back, fast forward, i.e. the usual things a remote does.
    There probably is a good App that I can install on my iPhone that will let me use my iPhone as a remote control, but I don't know which one. Any suggestions????  Ideally, it would be a bluetooth program (although Wi-Fi would work too) that would also work with other programs, like Keynote.
    Thanks!
    Dan

    Well, I don't know much about this, but if you need to control the actual system in some way, you are going to need to use JNI (Java Native Interface), which is essentially embedding C/C++ code in your java app, which doesn't lend well to platform-independence. I too develop on a Mac, and there is a mailing list for Java related issues on the Mac. You can check it out at: http://developer.apple.com/java/
    If you sign up for ADC (Apple Developer Connection, it's free), you can have access to these mailing lists. They've been quite helpful to me in the past. I don't mean to slam the forums here, but you are looking for a Mac specific solution, and you'd probably get more specific information on this mailing list. Hope this helps!!

  • Looking for laptop - running Win version of CS3 on Macbook Pro?

    I've been wanting to finally get a laptop for a long time now, and my first choice has always been a Macbook Pro. My main computer now is a self-built PC, and I do all my video work within CS3; my production company also runs CS3, so it made sense to mirror it at home. Anyway, my original thinking was to get a Macbook Pro so that I could have the option to edit with Final Cut Pro again, which would be nice because I see so much freelance work/job postings where the client/company is using FCP. Plus, out of all the laptops I've messed around with in the past, Macbooks always seem to work the best/fastest; and I just like them better overall.
    However, the idea of getting a laptop that isn't compatible with my current personal/professional workflow doesn't seem like such a good idea now. I have plans to travel to Japan for an extended period of time too, and I want to be able to work remotely, which means having access to a PC machine running CS3. Because of this, I started looking into PC laptops again... but I'm just not impressed with what I see. So I read about the possibility of running Bootcamp on a MBP, thus allowing me to run my PC version of CS3. Theoretically I could then still work on all of my PC formatted projects and then switch back into OS X for "normal laptop computing" (as well as starting new projects with FCP).
    Since I have no personal experience doing something like this though, I was wondering if anyone runs a setup like this and if so, how well does CS3/4/5 run via Bootcamp on a Macbook Pro? I've been reading on here how CS5's Mercury engine doesn't/can't work because the hardware won't support it, but does the overall editing experience suck?
    Just for reference, currently all my job-related work is simple DV NTSC... so I'm sure any laptop I buy would be able to handle that. However our company is planning to upgrade to HD in the near future, and I personally work with XDCAM EX footage via my Sony EX1r. So I want a laptop that can handle HD projects without choking to death. Also, an Express Card slot would be pretty awesome, too, that way I can dump my SxS cards without having to dock the camera (a 17" MBP would offer this).
    Any suggestions/help would be most appreciated, thanks!

    Have a look here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/771180?tstart=0
    The final solution found in this thread, including all the specs, is way more attractive than any MBP. It gives no compatibility issues, allows upgrading to CS5 without issues, is fast enough for AVCHD and XDCAM-EX material, is easy to connect to your home PC, avoids possible problems with effects/transitions missing on the MAC, gives you much more bang-for-the-buck than any MBP.
    Additionally, it saves you an extra license for PR MAC.

  • Looking for a proper Windows version to use with Bootcamp/Parallels

    My birthdays in a few days and I figured I'd treat myself to a little present. However, I'm not very tech savy and unsure of which version of Windows would run best with my 15' Intel Macbook Pro (late 2008-2009).
    I have found a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium on amazon (listed below)
    http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-7-Home-Premium/dp/B002DHGMK0

  • Can't print on HP4M with Macbook Pro using Snow Leopard

    Hello Everyone,
    I've tried everything I know...which isn't much...to avoid having to request your help knowing that many people have had similar problems. However, I still can't get my Mac to print with the HP4M printer regardless of what I have tried. I'm using AsanteTalk (Appletalk to Ethernet) to connect to my computer. It worked great with my old iMac but those days are gone. I'm currently using OSX 10.6.6. I did try a parallel to usb cable but that didn't do it either.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Jim

    I recently downloaded HPPrinterDrivers 2-1.6.dmg. It's my understanding that this file is the most current one and is dated 3/24/11. For your info, when I'm using usbtb with the parallel cable, I do get a note saying it sees a usb printer when the HP 4m is connected. Unfortunately, it doesn't contain an HP 4M driver. When I'm using Print Setup withoutt usbtb, however, there are all kinds of Laserjet drivers that can be selected but the old printer always goes into "Pause".
    I tried the parallel cable with my wife's Macbook running Tiger this morning and still didn't see the printer. I guess I could try my iMac with the parallel cable and do know that it does work with AsanteTalk. I'm afraid it's about over for the old warhorse but I'll check into resetting the printing system first.
    Thanks, again, Greg for all of your help and time!
