Is it true that you cannot scan

with the new Intel chip? The dude at HP said that there is no scanner support (drivers) for scanning.
Is this true?
Thanks,
SP

It's true that OS X does not come with any scanner drivers. It is not true that scanners won't work with OS X or Intel Macs. All scanners that work with Macs must come with driver software. That means that some scanners will not work on Intel Macs unless their manufacturers have provided universal binary drivers.
However, there is an excellent shareware product called VueScan (www.hamrick.com) that is a universal binary application that supports a large number of different scanners. To assure that a scanner will work with your Intel Mac verify from the manufacturer if they provide a universal binary driver. If not, then check with the VueScan site to see if the software is compatible with the scanner you are considering or own.

  • Is it true that Pages cannot insert a page into the middle of a document?

    Is it true that Pages cannot insert a page into the middle of a document?
    I have tried this many times using different techniques and it just refuses to do it. Can anyone help?

    To see how Pages works:
    Menu > View > Page Thumbnails
    When you click on the thumbnails each Section is outlined in yellow.
    Click where you want a new page > Menu > Insert > Section Break
    But then to have a new page all you need to do is add content to fill the page or Insert > Page Break to force the insertion point over onto a new page.

  • I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?

    I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?
    In the previous versions of Firefox when you went to you Bookmarks menu it gave you the options to either Bookmark This Page 'command' + 'D', Subscribe to this Page, Bookmark All Tabs 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'D', and Organize Bookmarks 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'B' however in the newest version of Firefox there is no Bookmark All Tabs so you can bookmark all the tabs that you have up in one window at a time. So I need to know if it is possible that the feature is now in a different place, is gone altogether, or if you can get that feature another way?
    For me personally and my work I go through hundreds of web pages a day and save around half of those so it is imperative that I be able to bookmark more then one tab at a time because I can't be bothered to bookmark every single page separately and then go through hundreds of tabs in my Unsorted bookmarks in order to sort those bookmarks. It is simple inconvenient to sort every bookmark individually that is why the previous version of Firefox with the Bookmark All Tabs button was superior in its convenience.

    Right click any tab and choose "Bookmark All Tabs".

  • Where in gods name is the homesharing button, I see a little cloud that you cannot click on and tells you what account you have but thats is. There's an option for turning on and off homesharing, but no button to access the actual library of the other PC

    Where in god’s name is the homesharing button, I see a little cloud that you cannot click on and tells you what account you have but that's it. There's an option for turning on and off homesharing, but no button to access the actual library of the other PC. On either PCs. Both are logged in and both are registered for homesharing. however because apple keeps updating and moving things around for no reason there appears to be no way of accessing the homsharing button in the latest version of itunes. the website refers to " Once set up, all the libraries from your computers you've enabled Home Sharing on will show up in the SHARED area of iTunes:" well I have searched all over in the recent itunes versions and there is no "shared area" to be found.
    Please find the attachment of a screen cap of my itunes.
    If anyone can help by telling me where it has been moved to or if it even still exists that would be much appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.

  • Can't be true that you can't add coverart to your ripped cd's if WAV?

    Hi
    Is it really true that you can't add coverart to your ripped cd's if the format is WAV?

    WAV as originally developed does not support embedded artwork. It is also very limited even for simple text based meta-data. AIFF also as originally developed (by Apple) did not support embedded artwork but Apple have added the ability to do this and this works in iTunes for Mac and Windows. Some other applications can also read such embedded artwork in AIFF files but not WMP.
    If your looking for a lossess file format to use that supports embedded artwork for iTunes, then I suggest using Apple Lossless which uses the MP4 file format and MPEG4 meta-tags, these are the same as used by AAC.
    It is possible to use Apple Lossless files in WMP and Windows Media Center, but not alas to read the embedded artwork in WMP. I use embedded artwork in Apple Lossless for iTunes and iPod and iPhone, and then use a folder.jpg for WMP.
    Note: I have all my music in Apple Lossless playing fine in WMP.

  • WHY is it that you cannot fix (completely so you never have to come back to it again) how adobe flash player works with windows 8.1?

    Hi,
    I would like to start a discussion on how one of the "leading" software companies in the WORLD cannot provide a better way for their software (which I assume they want everyone to use) to be used in conjunction with windows 8.1.   ADOBE no longer provides support for those who don't pay to be here, they don't have a reasonably intelligent way to fix problems for non computer minded people, they want you to go through and change this setting or that (ya, I've seen the page and done the crap they tell you to do to fix the flash player so it works and... it works... for a little while then you wind up with a fkn green screen after another day or two... this is complete BS you shouldn't have to unfk things so they work every few days... you shouldn't have to deal with crap like this... I AM GOING TO USE VLC PLAYER OR SOMETHING ELSE TO TAKE CARE OF MY VIDEO PLAYER NEEDS IN MY DIFFERENT BROWSERS FROM NOW ON... YOU GUYS SUCK, YOU HAVE NO SUCH THING AS SUPPORT ANYMORE AND YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY MOVING BACK INSTEAD OF FORWARD IN THE INNOVATION DEPARTMENT!!!!)
    1.  this should be simple, install the software, install an update if the software is installed and up to date it should work... don't make me fiddle with all the extra bs, your the software developer why cant' you do that????
    2.  you tried to make it easier by making it so flash player is imbedded in my browser, congratulations you made it screwed up... think of it this way, now I have to get rid of your software to have something malleable I can deal with... your software doesn't work half the time, i'm sick and tired of dealing with it... i'm not going to deal with it anymore, I have changed the settings as directed on your help page and it worked.... for a freakin DAY, then I get green screens when I try to use it the very next day... so... I undo the changes I made the previous day... and redo the changes AGAIN and it works AGAIN.... FOR A FKN DAY!!!  WTFO!!!! this is complete and total bs, your idea to make things simpler made things more complicated, more labor intensive, and more of a pain in the azz for the rest of the world... SO I am going to find a way to not have to deal with ADOBE anymore!!! screw you adobe, screw your software, screw your lack of support.  you have nothing to offer me that I cannot get elsewhere with less drama, I hope your business crashes like your software... have a nice day!

    One of my programs needed Flash Player and downloaded it for me!  So, Problem solved.  Thanks to all who are reading this.  I would delete it if I could. 

  • I purchased an ipod touch about 5 days ago and I am having buyers remorse.  I am realizing that it's limitations to wifi places only inhibits it from actually being used in the car for directions or other places.  I was unclear that you cannot add interne

    I purchased an ipod touch, 4th generation recently and have discovered that I cannot "just add" internet to this all the time (for a fee).  Silly me, I thought I could.  So, can I return this, perhaps for an iphone?

    Also you can get mi-fi a mobile wireless hotspot to connect from anywhere (for a monthly fee) that gets 3G or 4G data signals.  See http://www.google.com/search?q=mifi+hotspot&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US &ie=utf8&oe=utf8

  • What to do when the Macbook is hot that you cannot work with it?

    My four years old Mac book from the beginning was getting hot while in use.
    I decided that was due to the period of time it was switch on.
    However, I do not keep it on for more than four hours and I do also keep it still @ home, other than move it all over the place.
    Unfortunately I cannot use it for any longer than two hours because of the heat which has become umberable and dangerous of get on fire at the point of that I cannot use it in the bedroom/bed.
    I have also noticed that under the Mac, on the front left side it's not flat anymore but it looks like that the heat has created a kind of bubble surface. It seems to me that my Mac has a defect from the manufacturer or that is the way Apple program their product expire time... I cannot afford to buy another one!
    Some of my friends have the same model for the same period of time and different problems!!! Time to change/spend?
    I would much appreciated if anyone would be so kind and help me.
    I have just started my online nurse studies but I haven't been able to do anything.
    Thanks to you all.

    thats not a heat bubble, its swelling of your battery.
    Lithium battery swelling, turn off your Mac DO NOT USE IT
    Contact Apple for an appt. for a full diagnostic of your Macbook, and replacement of your Lithium pack battery
    however you may be tempted to use/ etc. your macbook until then...,but in its current state do NOT use it.

  • It is unbelievable that you cannot get in contact with a persone from Adobes support team

    Since weeks (or even months) I am not able to start my cc photoshop.
    Yes, I am paying for it every mointh. I have a one year subscription. But what are they for???? To see that I am once again in the situation that my beloved photoshop stopps working again???
    Aftre having the same probmlem for weeks after my installation of the CC  prodcuts finally I got cc photoshop working. I was able to work with it for abaout 6 weeks or so.
    Now when I try to start photoshop I again receive the 0 days LEFT OF YOUR TESTVERSION MESSAGE and I cannot get it running again. I DON´T have a testversion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I have a paid ADOBE CC PRODUCT Version.!!!
    I need urgent help and I want my money back!!!!!!!!!!

    Actually, you can talk to them.  Just not quite how you would expect to.  ( I JUST got off the phone with them myself )
    Call the main sales line at 1-800-585-0774 ( I know, it makes no sense since it's a sales line, but bear with me ) and listen to the options.  They'll tell you the sales folks won't be able to help you with support related issues, but keep listening.  You'll hear the options given that will allow you to talk to the support folks.
    When I called there was about a twenty minute wait, but they'll allow you to input a callback number and your name so you don't have to sit on the line the whole time.
    I got the call and worked with them to resolve my account issue.  ( Which ended up being totally my fault )

  • I have been trying to move pictures to iphoto and am now receiving a message that "you cannot open the application iphoto because the classic environment is no longer supported.

    I have been trying to move pictures into iphoto and am now receiving a message the say I "cannot open the application iphoto because the classic environment is no longer supported."

    Launch iPhoto the the Option key held down and create a new library.  See if you can import those photos into it.  If you can then your current library is damaged. 
    If that's the case make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
       2.  delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options. 
    Fix #3
    Use  iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • HT201412 I am reading an e-book and the screen has become blurred to the point that you cannot even see the letter. I checked the e-book in another computer and can be seen without problems. What's worst, when this happens all the web sites have the same

    I am reading an e-book and the screen has become blurred to the point I cannot see the letters. Other pages are patched grey. I checked the ebook in another computer and it shows no problem. Also, when this happens, other web sites get blurred or patched. Do you know what can it be?

    You can try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. See if that helps.
    But if it doens't or if hte issue repeats you may want to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out.

  • So is it true that you can only purchase a plan now for photoshop and no longer buy an actual disc or any software as a one time buy?

    it has been awhile since i had a new copy of photoshop and when i go to look for one to buy it seems adobe has now made it so you can only subscribe to a plan? ugh. seems like i will end up spending even more money that way

    You can still purchase a license for Photoshop CS6 700 USD new/200 USD upgrade for the Standard Edition.
    Adobe has stopped distribution via boxed dvd-rom. It's all download now.
    Be aware that with the exception of bugfixes and OS upgrades, there are no updates.

  • HT202724 IS IT STILL TRUE THAT YOU CAN SEND PICTURE FREE FROM IPHONE TO IPHONE VIA IMESSAGE

    Can you tell me why its changed and now i`m getting charged for sending pictures through imessage to another iphone ?

    It's only free when both parties use Wi-Fi. If you use your data plan or have to use a phone line that is not toll-free, then you or the other party may be charged.

  • Is it true that you can try out the 11" Macbook Air and exchange it for a 13" if it's too small?

    I've heard this.  Any confirmation?

    Check the online Apple Store policy and see what the return policy is.  You'd probably return the 11" and then buy the 13".  Of course, even better-- buy the 13" and just return the one that doesn't work for you!
