Most compatible scanner

I have a "Mini" w/512MB of memory running Tiger and I'd like to buy a flatbed scanner that will provide the best resolution and quality for copying 4" x 6" prints and possibly film slides for around a hundred bucks. I've read that the Epson Perfection 3490 Photo may fit the bill and that Canon makes a decent scanner as well. Any suggestions from this discussion group who actually own and use a scanner would be helpful. Thanks.

I have an inexpensive HP scanner at home, a more expensive Canon and Epson at work. I'm dying to replace the Epson simply because I hate the software and the Canon replaced a Microtek that I despised because of its software. So I can recommend either the Canon or HP scanners and I don't really have any great preference between the two.

790fx-gd70 Memory - which brand / type is most compatible?

I have just recently built my first PC using the MSI790fx-gd70 (thanks to some helpful advice from Svet, Bas, and Miles). I encountered a problem early on pertaining to the memory. I had originally purchased 1.65 volt ram and this board only supports 1.5 volts (thank you Newegg for your lack of tech specs). And in doing some reading, it seems that this board only supports up to 1333 speeds without overclocking. I plan to OC down the line, however i am really only interested in utilizing my PC on default settings for the time being. A friend of mine has loaned me a 2GB stick of 1333 Wintec ram. Of course i plan to return this to him shortly, after i have purchased my own memory.
My question is, which brand/type of memory is most compatible with this board? I have looked through the test sheet for this board and it seems as though Kingston, G Skill, OCZ, and a few others have been successful, however i am wondering what the people think. If any of you folks have this board, could you give me a little insight on your preferences for dual channel, 1333 (since that is as high a speed i can get without OCing) ram sticks? I would prefer to purchase 2, 4GB sticks of 1333. any thoughts?
Thanks all

Yeah some Cruical Ballistix would be awesome.
Anything Crucial, Kingston, or Corsair you really can't go wrong with. I have used Kingston and Corsair on my 790FX before I got rid of it. They both worked fine.
BTW if you are looking for Corsair XMS:

FUhr: myFirstMIDlet - what is the most compatible configuration? request fo

Hello,
I have just programmed for the first time in java, and in j2me,
using sun's j2se and j2me. On my own phone, nokia 6230, the
midlet works well. Also in the sun- and nokia6230-emulator.
But a friend with a slightly older Nokia phone couldn't get
it working. Some "not supported" error message.
Please have a look at the following JAR, it's really really
small (<4kB), so cheap to download to your phone.
It's very interesting for me, on which phones which version works:
http://www.andreasK.de/fuhr/s01/fuhr.jar JTWI MIDP2.0 CLDC1.0
http://www.andreasK.de/fuhr/s02/fuhr.jar JTWI MIDP2.0 CLDC1.1
http://www.andreasK.de/fuhr/s03/fuhr.jar MIDP1.0 CLDC1.0
http://www.andreasK.de/fuhr/s04/fuhr.jar MIDP1.0 CLDC1.1
Thanks a lot, already in advance!
Probably the most compatible is s03, isn't it?
Do many phones use that?
What do you think about the program? Please tell me your opinion.
It's for a festival, the probably best place on earth

Back to my program. The most urgent improvements are:
* a continuous update whenever a new "real" minute begins
- any hints how to do that? Timer? Events?
* a key-lock feature so that the programm can continue
to run while the phone is in the pocket.
Can I "overload" the standard keypress-routine?
How to?
* a bigger fJahr:1887 display.
It's already the biggest font size, and changing the font
seems to work only with MIDP2.0.
Any hints how to draw a bigger 4-digits-number,
perhaps even in MIDP1.0?
* automatically recalculate whenever one of the datetime fields
has been changed by the user. how to?
thanks a lot!

Heho,
There is a newer version now, without any double variable.
I hope that solves the "floatingpoint not supported" problem.
Please try now:

The most compatible way of offering short movies on a website?

Hi everyone,
I am working on a website which offers links to short movies
which the admin has uploaded. they are in mwv/mpg/avi format. I am
using this object method, I can see them on my systems, but the
client cannot make it to work on their systems. I am looking for
the most compatible way of linking and displaying short movies on
the site. work with PC and mac.
this is my current method that apparently is not fully
compatible:
<cfoutput><embed src="Media/#MediaParam#"

showstatusbar=1></embed></cfoutput>
any help is appreciated in advance..

can the data go from the drive direct to the ATV2?
no.
iTunes must be running to fetch and serve the content to ATV.
I ask as its far easier to connect a ATV2 and a Network drive via cat5, however itd be nice to not have to plug a mac in as well.
if your wireless network is n-capable and doesn't suffer interference problems, that scenario might work.
Possible try to get a older ATV?
good luck with that they are hard to come by. try eBay or something.

Most Compatible PDA with Mac OS X Tiger?

I have tried the Missing Sync software to sync my Dell Axim with my PowerBook with only marginal results. I am interested in buying a Palm TX but have read that there might be some compatibility issues with it as well. What is the best PDA for syncing with a PowerBook? Which is the most compatible out of the box?
Thanks.

Am I to believe the only way I can sync my iphone with my mac is to upgrade to snow leopard?

Hi Nick: If you are using the MacBook Pro as listed in your signature, you can update from Tiger (10.4.11) to Snow Leopard (10.6). And, unfortunately, 10.5 is the minimum requirement.

Most compatible PC cards & adapters

Is anyone familiar with the chipset used in the new Airport Extreme? I'll have to update some PC laptops with N cards and want to ensure I'm getting ones that have the most compatible chipsets to the Extreme.

It's a good question and I'm sorry I don't know. I'm assuming that Apple will not be putting out their own USB N adapters for use with older desktops; it would be great to know what devices have good reliability with the Apple hardware.

I'd like to know what would be the most compatible Virus protection software that would go with Mozilla Firefox?

I was recently given "as a gift" a new lap top, at least I was told it was new it's a HP 2000 LAP TOP (NOTEBOOK) PC! IT HAS 4 GB RAM, I don't know if you need more info then that right now but I would gladly get it for you if needed.
I recently had a computer crash, I had back up on my most important info, but not ALL info that was filed.
What had happen is somewhat my neglect, the other problem was the "tech" was asking me the most unusual questions, one was I had to find or remember my very first password I started Microsoft with, that was over 5 years ago on my older lap Top. I do have passwords written down for everything that needs one BUT; I didn't have my original password. (I haven't for almost 2 years), I change them just for safety reasons about every 90 days or so. Well As I was trying to use what passwords I had, the "Tech" ("questionable") I did this for approximately 30 minutes before I got fed up and disconnected the connection, which unfortunately, when I tried starting back up I had a blue screen with white writing, that from a past experience meant my computer crashed HOWEVER it did not give me that notice when you crash just said restart your computer. So I did, but after the desktop started showing up with my icons, many of them were missing.
So I thought This be a good time to use software my friend sent called "Roll back" similar to system restore, but with the ability to find and restore files you may have lost. Well I did recover some, however I lost many files, I am totally unable to watch any DVD MOVIES ON ANY type of player right now. My main Question is "What is the best possible Virus scan/ firewall compatible with my version of Firefox 30"???
And could it help me in the future if God Forbid something similar were to haunt me in the future?? I couldn't afford anything over $80 . Thank You BuddyD54

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

Pay $29 for upgrade now have to pay for compatible scanner/camera etc

So, I just upgraded to the new Lion OS. Thought it would be a good thing. Now my scanner won't work. Come to find out that I cannot update the drivers to the new Lion OS supported drivers cause they don't exist. My Photoshop won't work either. So, basically I paid a low price for a great upgrade, but now I am going to have to pay even more to get new compatible accessories. Anyone else in this same boat?

I have a CanoScan 8400F and have it working perfectly under Lion. I'll try to explain what I did:
First you need drivers and software, go here:
http://usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/scanners/canoscan_series
Select the Canoscan 4400F (YES 4400F) drivers and software, select Mac OSX 10.7 and download the following SOFTWARE (NOT Drivers):
CanoScan Toolbox 5.0 Opener (Mac OS X 10.6/10...
Next select the CanoScan 8400F drivers and software, select Mac OSX (NOT OSX 10.6, JUST OSX) and download the following DRIVER:
8400F Scanner Driver Ver. 10.2.4.1X (Mac OS X...
File Name: 8400fosx10241en.dmg
Next, still in the CanoScan 8400F drivers and software, select Mac OSX 10.6 and download the following SOFTWARE:
CanoScan Toolbox Ver. 4.9.3.4X (Mac OS X 10.2...
File Name: cstbosx4934ej4.dmg
You can open all of these images, but DO NOT INSTALL ANYTHING YET.
Turn off your scanner, unplug the power (yes the power) and unplug the USB cable from the scanner.
Install:
8400F Scanner Driver Ver. 10.2.4.1X (Mac OS X...
File Name: 8400fosx10241en.dmg
Next install:
CanoScan Toolbox Ver. 4.9.3.4X (Mac OS X 10.2...
File Name: cstbosx4934ej4.dmg
Restart your computer.
Plug the power and USB cable into the scanner and turn the scanner on.
Open Image Capture in your applications folder - The 8400F should show up, if not; with Image Capture still open, unplug and then replug the USB cable in (scanner still turned on).
With Image Capture open and the 8400F showing, run the last program you downloaded:
CanoScan Toolbox 5.0 Opener (Mac OS X 10.6/10...
You should be able to close Image Capture and open CanoScan Toolbox. Everything works, even the buttons on the scanner.
I have done this on a virgin install of Lion on an external drive, and it works there also.
Hope this works for you !!

Mac compatible scanner and ocr

I have a canoscan lide 35 scanner and it works fine, but I can't get image capture to play nice with it.
Any fixes for image capture?
I have the drivers installed and it operated the scanner but Scan Gear doesn't work well to capture scans either. Does anyone know of any good software that would work with this hardware or is there any good Mac compatible flatbed scanner ?
I primarily scan text and would like good OCR software also. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Regards

Hiya,
I am using a Canon Lide 210 and have used Canon's own "Solutions EX" that should have been on the CD that came with your scanner. It works perfectly (I have just tried) and converts it into "text" or "pdf". With "text" you can work easily.
Have you tried this?
NB: with any OCR, you will find, it's not faultless (close characters together are often "misspelt" as a different word, but textedit (where my OCR scans automatically open), highlights any typos errors in red underline.

Best, most compatible multifunction printer/copiers for medium-sized office?

Hello world!
I have recently been tasked with selecting a NEW multifunction copier for our office! Our office consists of 30 to 40 users, mostly writers and graphic-designers, all running 10.6.8 or Lion 10.7.2.
We're interested in a B&W machine that...
can print at least 50ppm
can handle large file sizes with ease (for graphic designers printing InDesign files etc...)
is first and foremost, VERY mac-friendly/compatible
can scan multiple docs quickly, to an email or device, perhaps even scan in color
Currently, our office uses a Canon iR5570, Canon iR5020, and Xerox Phaser 7750DN. Support and proper software/drivers for the Canon printers is a nightmare. Despite trying every print method/driver/software/protocal combination possible and updating the firware, the Canon printers lock-up when multiple print-jobs or when large graphics files are sent to print. It's a very nerve-racking experience, especially when you're the tech that must address the issues .
If anyone has any suggestions or experience with a specific nice, newer printer, I would greatly appreciate them. I'm leaning toward Xerox at the moment.
Thanks in advance,
John

I agree with you for a Xerox MFP
This series has the features you requested.
http://www.office.xerox.com/multifunction-printer/multifunction-over-30ppm/workc entre-5735-5740-5745-5755/spec-enus.html
But you would better call your local Xerox representative to tailor the right printer for your needs.

Thanks in advance for your insights!

tempusfb, welcome to Apple Discussions.
I've used a Canon LiDE series to scan 1000s of photos. Here's a new model to consider http://store.apple.com/us/product/TP506LL/A?fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/scanners&mco=OTY5MDc
You can possibly get it for less at some other source.
