New Mac user -unable to send fax unable to find modem

Hi, I'm trying to use the fax to send out but it won't let me choose a modem, even after trying to select print & fax preferences, to set up modem there is nothing to choose. Can someone help me out please?

"Launch TextEdit and select Fax as PDF - that should create the fax printer in the fax list. It's strange, but you have to use it before it will appear."

  • New mac user, unable to open camera raw files in CS6

    I'd really appreciate some simple 'idiot steps' that will enable me to open camera raw files (nefs) in CS6...
    you will have to assume that I am an idiot and know nothing about Macs (one of which is true, the other debateable!)
    thank you

  • I'm a brand new Mac user. I want to send photos from Iphoto to my local store for printing, like I can do in Picasa. I can't find that option in Iphoto.

    I'm a brand new Mac user. I want to send photos from Iphoto to my local store for printing, like I can do in Picasa. I can't find that option in Iphoto. I do not want to order them through Itunes.

    I have not idea how you do it with Picasa but with iPhoto you either export the photos to a desktop folder and upload from there or burns that folder to CD - or from the upload window use the media browser in the lower left hand corner of the upload windows - media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

  • I am a new mac user and have a 15 macbook pro (non retina display).  I am having an issue with safari "freezing" ...it will work fine for a while and then I will open a new tab and attempt a website that won't load and after that it seems no website will.

    So yes like mentioned above...i am a new mac user...have only had it about four days and have had a windows based system always before this.  The issue I am having is that I will be in safari and it will work perfect for a while and then i will open a new tab and attempt another website and it will either be extremely slow or will give the error that it cannot connect to the server, however, when i run diagnostics my internet is fine.  The only solution i have found is to reboot and geeksquad has been unable to replicate the problem while connected to my computer to try to do so.  Does anyone have any suggestions or anyone else with this problem?  If you have a "fix" please try layman's terms because again I have no idea about macs haha.  Thanks,

  • A new mac user

    At the risk of sounding lame, how do I download Pages for mac mini 10.6.7? I need to use Pages in order to work on Microsoft docs. I have been around the world with this problem. I reinstalled the DVD's, thinking I did not do it correctly the first time. I tried downloading for the Mac Store with no success.....again, I am a new mac user and have recently purchased the mini. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    If you got a trial version of iWork with Pages with your new mini, you should probably delete it. A simple but efficient way is to download the free app removal app AppCleaner; http://www.freemacsoft.net/AppCleaner/ Then just drag & drop the Pages app onto AppCleaner. AppCleaner will round up all of Pages auxiliary files and present them all for your approval for sending them to the Trash. With some Apple Apps you are asked to authorize the removal with an Administrator's password. After you have deleted Pages, empty the Trash and restart your Mac. Pages should now be available to buy in the Mac App Store.
    If you do not have a trial version of iWork installed what was your previous issue with downloading Pages trough the Mac App Store?

  • New Mac user disappointed

    Hi all from Italy
    I am a new mac user.Yesterday i bought MacBook Pro here in Milan in an Apple Offical Reseller for 2690 Euros it is like 3000$. I have the heat and the whine problem. I called the Apple service and they said that it doesnt' depend on them because I bought the MacBook by a reseller and i have to deal with him for getting it repaired. Is that ok? I thought I paid so much for having a better service by Apple Italia.
    Sorry for my bad English

    First off... your English is better than that of most Americans.
    Second - didn't you say you purchased from an Apple Authorized Reseller? If so, then it should come with some form of Applecare, which in turn would make it Apple's problem, though you may have to drop it off to the reseller first. It isn't like this is an unknown problem - Apple has been fixing this issue for the past few months.
    I'd say play their game and take it to the location you purchased from and don't leave until they agree to begin repairs. In all likelihood they will send it in to Apple to get it repaired and all will be well.

  • Printing help for new MAC user

    I am a new MAC user trying convince myself this is better than a PC. I have been trying to 3 hours to figure out how to print in color with a document I've created in Pages. I am connected to a HP Photosmart wireless printer. Can someone help me?

    Hi jersey,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Pages '09 forum.
    Is this strictly a Pages/HP Photosmart issue, or do other applications share this inability to print in colour to this printer?
    About the only advice I can offer is to:
    1.
    Check the HP site for any updated drivers for your printer. Download and install if any are found.
    2.
    Check the printer's settings in the Print dialogue. Your printer may offer the choice, here or in it's utility application, to print using only the black toner cartridge.
    3.
    Try opening Pages from a different user account, and printing a new document from there. Success would indicate the issue lies in your user account, probably in a corrupted Pages preference (.plist) file.Go back to your usual account, locate the file and drag it to the trash. Try printing again from your usual account.
    If these don't help, I'd suggest reposting your question in the Printing, Faxing and Scanning forum in the Mac OS X v10.6 (Snow Leopard) section of Discussions.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    It is now confirmed  that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
    Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
    This might be of some interest to you at this time: Life After MobileMe.

  • New Mac user: Is it possible to move more than one file at a time on a Mac?

    I'm a new Mac user. Something so simple in Windows doesn't seem possible in Mac OS and AppleCare doesn't have a clue either. I have edited video files as well as the master footage video file in individual folders created by FCP. I need to transfer 6 video files, 20GB each, onto an external hard drive. This will need to run overnight because I'm using an external HD with only USB and it will take 10 hours or so. How do I transfer these 6 files all at once?
    Note: The 6 files are in 6 different folders. I can't transfer the entire 6 folders because they contain other video files in them that I don't need to transfer and are larger than my 20 GB edited files. And last, I shouldn't have to drag these files individually to a folder on the desktop first, because that will take an hour and is a waste of time because I would have to sit there and wait for each to finish.

    As a new Mac user, you might find the following sites helpful:

    and since you're coming from using Windows:

    Hi there
    I think in this case, you may be best to speak with Microsoft about this, as it does seem like an issue with Office, and not your Mac.
    Follow this link, to find your local Microsoft Support contact number.
    Or perhaps create a new topic in the Microsoft Support Communities
    Good luck

  • How do I get my old TM to a new mac user

    ok, to keep things short, my old mac user became corrupt using my mobileme and the quickest and easiest way seemed to be that I backed up everything, created a new user and put everything into that.
    That was the easy part, I didn't use TM, instead using an external hard drive to drag and drop my personal files i needed and itunes etc etc. I then deleted the old mac user.
    I forgot about some photos and after having done everything a week ago and the new mac user working perfectly, I need a photo. When I opened TM the backups from a month are there but greyed out and I can't access them.
    what do I need to do for my new mac user to see the old mac users backups ?

    You might be able to re-create the old user account (exactly the same, of course) and use that account to restore the photos to that account.

  • I am a new Mac user.  How do I easily move files to new locations and folders in Finder, like I was used to doing with Windows Explorer?

    I am a new Mac user, converting from the Windows world.  How do I easily transfer files from one folder location to another in Finder, like I was used to doing in Windows Explorer?

    You can expand Finder into multi-panes, I am not at my Mac right now to get the exact key strokes so don't want to mislead you.  Do so many things on auto-pilot that when someone asks I need the machine so I can get the exact things to click on.
    But you can get the multi-pane view and drag and drop from pane to pane.
