Good photo scanner that is compatible with OS 10.9.1?

I need a good scanner to scan archival images. Anyone know of one that works with OS 10.9.1?

Hi,
Anything that is USB 2.0 UVC compliant .
UVC means USB Video Class.
Like the mass storage USB devices there is an included driver.
Depending on you Firewire ports and those any Firewire enabled DV Camcorder has you could use a DV Camcorder.
NOTE: some HD versions will not work is some apps.
HD tends to be 16:9 format and iChat/Messages and Photo Booth are 4:3
Having said there is a UVC driver in the OS it will not always give you the same features that a windows os might do.

Anybody know of any good photo printers that will take card stock?

I work for a small print shop. We have a high end production color copier. But it doesn't produce "photo" quality prints. It's a color copier after all. What I'm looking for is a small desktop size probably color printer (probably inkjet) that will produce photo quality prints. The catch is, I'd like to be able to print on cardstock. 80# to be more accurate. Is there anything like that out there?
Its just that I want to be able to provide "photo quality" prints to our customers instead of the "kind of photo quality" that comes off of our copier. Thoughts? Ideas?

All decent ink-jet photo printers are designed to work with branded papers and branded ink cartridges, via branded drivers. These work together as a system, for best and most predictable results. I'd just call up a local printer sales outfit and ask if they have anything that will print on 80 lb. cover. If they have one, go see samples, and get materials prices, because the paper and ink isn't usually cheap, and refilled/off-brand ink and paper typically doesn't get you where you want to go, quality-wise.
Alternately, get an Epson or a Cannon or whatever (which print on less-than-80-lb cover), and also invest in a dry-mount press, for the "card" part of your adventure.
Good luck.

Need suggestions for photo printer that will work with a dedicated HP G4050 scanner on Windows 7

I was told by HP Tech Support that they didn't recommend I try to run an all-in-one printer and a dedicated scanner on the same PC. Dilemma is that most photo printers sold today are also all-in-ones. Also, many all-in-ones don't seem to rate very high on photo quality. Do I end up buying two printers - one for text and another for photos or what?
Your input is welcome as I've researched this problem for a long time and don't know what printer to buy! Thank you.

Yes, I do know that; but the basic driver doesn't allow all of the menu options on the printer to work. For instance, it won't tell me how much ink is left in each cartridge, etc.
I'm debating whether to just keep my old Photosmart 8150 and keep plugging along until it dies and then worry about replacing it OR keep looking for a new one.
Problem is that HP Tech Support told me that they DON'T recommend I use an all-in-one printer AND a dedicated scanner together due to possible software issues. Since most of the photo printers made this year seem to be AIO's it's been a very difficult experience finding an older printer that has a Full Solution Driver in WIN 7 and/or 8! Oh, you can find some but they cost an arm and a leg even at used prices!
Anyone with experience using an HP dedicated scanner AND a printer is welcome to jump in and give me some feedback. Thank you so much! : )

HT3669 I have an Epsom 1250 photo scanner that will not work with my new iMac. I get an error report indicating 'scanner ot available' and the indicator light on the scanner goes to red.

When I try to use the scanner I get error message 'scanner not available' and the scanner indicator goes red . I have contacted Epsom who advised me to run System update on my Mac several times which I havedone to no avail. The scanner is in working order as it works satifactorily with my 'Windows' laptop. The scanner is listed as being included in the driver updates but It would appear that the driver on my iMac supplied in any update is not suitable.
I am currently running OSX 10.8.4
What steps should I now persue to be able to use the scanner?
Alan.

Howdy Susiesdad,
I would suggest the troubleshooting steps from this article named Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Don't let the name throw you off, the troubleshooting is relevant for scanners as well.
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
All the best,
Sterling

Looking for a good usb hub that will allow my mouse and external hard to work together

I'm looking for some ideas for a good usb hub that will allow me to use a wireless mouse and an external hard drive at the same time, without shorting out the mouse. The one i currently have, when I plug in just the mouse, it's fine, but as soon as i put the external hard drive into the hub port, the mouse no longer works and i have to reinstall the drivers for the mouse.

Hubs and computers vary in their power needs, but it seems that your setup is lacking in the power department. This isn't a big deal with desktop computers, but since you use a MBP, you're going to do best with a powered USB hub.
If you're looking for a USB hub with power supply, Belkin is generally reliable (and above average in price). But the D-Link is compact, reliable, and has a good price. Aim for a USB 3.0 hub if possible, though 2.0 will work fine with just about anything. Insist on a refund if the hub doesn't work in your system. Make sure it's compact, since you'll be carrrying it around.

What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?

What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?

Any printer that visibly supports OS X will work fine. My personal recommendation is Brother, followed rather distantly by Canon.
Recently I have grown to favor Brother printers over the others. They are inexpensive, their OS X integration is well-implemented, their consumables are reasonably priced, and their technical support is free forever. If you need to call them and explain that you have a Mac, you will immediately receive competent assistance.
The third and subsequent choices are so far down from those two they're not worth mentioning. I have grown to dislike HP printers, for all the above reasons.
Read user reviews from vendor websites - Amazon is a good place to start, since Amazon lets people write almost anything they want... right, wrong, or completely idiotic.
Read the reviews on the respective manufacturers' websites as well, but consider the likelihood of them deleting negative reviews.
Process all those user reviews employing your own common sense, and draw your own conclusions.
Consider AirPrint compatibility for future needs. Those features add very little to the price over a USB - only or wireless printer. Understand that not all wireless printers are AirPrint compatible - AirPrint must be specifically indicated. Choose among this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
After OS X compatibility, the next consideration should be the cost of consumables. Laser printers are cheaper than inkjets in that regard.
Here is a list of AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices

Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically? I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail. Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically? I've tried PDF and Word, but PDF worked only in Mail. Word worked in nothing. I also tried copying and pasting the document but lost all formatting when just copied and pasted in email. Is there a way to do this?

Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

I need to create a schedule that will be performed every day

I need to create a schedule that will be performed every day. Must start at a specified time and finish their work at a certain time. Joby hooked to this schedule must do their work in a loop, until he completed the work to the procedure. Do you have any solution?

Easy, use DBMS_SCHEDULER to schedule the job to start at a particular time every day.
[...] and finish their work at a certain time. [...]
What should it do if it finishes early? What should it do if it hasn't finished its work by the given time? There may be things you can do to make it crash out at a given time - but its helpful to know what your aims are first.

I don't have a clue what that last sentence means, let alone a solution.

Can I create a presentation in iPhoto that will combine still slides and video?

I have just returned from a safari and have a lot of pictures and videos from the trip. I would like to create a presentation/slide show that will show the slides and also videos in the same slide show and allow me to manually pace the show. I know how to do this in PowerPoint but would rather use a more natice mac ap and thought it might be possible in iMovie or iPhoto but am not sure exactly what the best way to do this would be.

and allow me to manually pace the show. I know how to do this in PowerPoint but would rather use a more natice mac ap and thought it might be possible in iMovie or iPhoto but am not sure exactly what the best way to do this would be.
If you want a native Mac application for your slideshow you could also try Keynote, the Apple alternative to Powerpoint. It will give you similar presentation options.
Aperture - if you have it - would allow to trim the videos, allow more fine control over how the audio of the clips will be mixed, and still allow to manually pace the slideshow, but it is expensive and will no longer be developed. But if you have compatible versions of Aperture and iPhoto, simple open your iPhoto Library in Aperture: Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture

HP photo printer that will work with a separate HP scanner

I need to replace an old HP printer that doesn't have Full Function capabilities with Windows 7. HP Tech Support told me they DO NOT recommend using more than one scanner per computer, so told me not to buy an All-in-One printer to use with my HP ScanJet G4050 scanner. Possible software issues in the future.
Problem: I'm having a difficult time finding a single function inkjet printer that will print quality photos and has photo black ink. It must be fully compatible with Windows 7 & 8. This has become a nightmare as it's nearly impossible to find a newer single function printer that does high quality photos. HP seems to focus on the all-in-ones that don't have the capabilities of the older Photosmarts. Such as separate photo tray, photo ink, gray ink, etc.
I currently have a Photosmart 8150 printer that does a great job on photos and has photo black as well as gray ink for printing color and black and white photos. You can't find a comparable printer like that anymore! HP needs to realize that there are a lot of customers out there looking for a good quality photo printer like their old Photosmarts of 10 years ago. HP needs to pay attention to their customers and provide support for their older photo printers AND manufacture printers with the same functions as their older models!
Suggestions on new photo printers would be appreciated. Thank you!

Yes.

I'm a photographer looking for a good (detailed) resource that will inform me of specifically how I should be saving my images for print/online

I've been working in photoshop for years but I've always gotten a bit lost on exactly what size I should be saving my photo's for optimal quality.
I basically need a good website that will go over all the aspects of saving images as a photographer, but if you can answer these questions that will also help.
• What size/resolution should I save if I am giving the client images on a disk for them to print?
• What size/resolution should I be saving photo's just for online viewing?
• How come when I place my image (saved at 4in x 6in) into a new document that is (682px x 459px) the picture is pixelated?

Perhaps the best resource for all things digital media related, especially when it comes to best practices in the industry is
dpbestflow.org
Specific answers to your 3 questions:
-generally, 300ppi at the final print size is good enough in most cases. If they are printing the image very large, like a poster or billboard image, then the print size at a lower resolution can be acceptable since it's being viewed from further away. Either always get the specs from the printer for what size/resolution they require, or just give them your full-sized original image, since that's all the pixels they can possibly have to work with.
-depends on every individual's monitor settings. If you supply an image that is HD-sized at 1920x1080, and they're using a monitor with a resolution at that size or greater, the whole image will fit on their screen. If their monitor resolution is smaller than that, your image will be bigger than they can display. Browsers, website coding, monitor resolution, all factor into how these will display on each individual computer. If you want the whole image to display within a browser window then you'll want your total pixel dimensions to be smaller than the average person's monitor resolution (unless you want them to be able to zoom in and see all the detail of your full-size image, then you would upload the full image and let your website do whatever it does to display smaller/thumbnail versions which can then be clicked on to open up the full-res version. Note, the actual resolution, e.g. 300ppi, doesn't factor into monitor display. PPI means it will PRINT that many pixels per inch of paper, and has nothing to do with how it will display on monitors which only concern themselves with pixel dimensions.
-682x459 is a rather small size. Of course it will lose detail. Just imagine if you scaled your image down further into a 10x10 pixel image. You'd have 100 pixels to make up all the detail in your image. Lots of detail will be lost since you've got a lot fewer pixels to make up the image.
