Recommendations for a Scanner that works with Mac OS 10.6.4

Hi: I bought my first iMac back in February 2010 and have really been enjoying it. However, I would like to know a good scanner to scan mostly pictures. Any recommendations are welcome.
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Any Scanner that supports TWAIN should work fine. Look for that when reviewing scanners. I have an HP multifunction printer that has a scanner and that works fine for me. Although if you are looking for a photo scanner then there are others perhaps better suited for the task out there.
Here is a nice list of reviews: http://www.macworld.com/products/input_devices/scanners.html

    Hi ron1098,
    Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
    See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

  • I have an older HP5550C flatbed scanner that works with 10.5 and 10.6 but not on my new iMac running 10.7

    I have an older HP5550C flatbed scanner that works with 10.5 and 10.6 but not on my new iMac running 10.7. Surely there is software that will allow older scanners to work on OS10.7. My MacBook Pro runs 10.6 and the

    Although the HP Scanjet shows up in the system profile for the computer it is generic and is not configured (as in screen shot).  It also does not show up in the ;ist of pritnters, scanner when I open Image Capture.  I can't load the software that came with the printer because it is out of date so that would make it impossible to configure the scanner on the new iMac. see below:  Too bad there isn't some generic profile I could load that would cover the 5550c. I have a new all in one printer-fax-scanner but the old one can scann in slides and negatives which I have.

  • Scanner that Works with 10.6 Snow Leopard?

    Has anyone found a scanner that works with 10.6 Snow Leopard and also handles 35mm negatives & slides? My HP Scanjet 4570c is “dead in water.” HP has said they will not provide a driver update for this model.

    If you, like me, are ****** off about how poorly HP is handling/not handling this scanner functionality issue then I suggest that you email the CEO, Chairman, and the Board of Directors of HP. I just finished sending my email to all of them. You can do the same by going to the web site listed below and follow the instructions on that web page. When I sent my messages I typed, "Do you care that HP is losing customers?" in the SUBJECT line of my email. I seriously doubt that this will result a solution to our problems, but at least you can let them know that they have lost another customer.

  • I recently up dated my OS to 10.7.3 and I get a "can't open application because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.  Can this be restored?  If not do you know if Epson has drivers for my scanner that work around this?

    I recently up dated my OS to 10.7.3 and I get a "can't open application because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.  Can this be restored?  If not do you know if Epson has drivers for my scanner that work around this?

    You cannot run PPC software in Lion. Go to Epson's website to see if they have an updated scanner driver. If they don't then you can try using VueScan if it supports your scanner model.

  • How can I make an icon that links to a webpage that works with Mac and Windows??

    Hi!
    I burn CDs with my photos and send them to clients.   Besides the photos folder, I would like to include a file (similar to the .webloc files on the Mac Desktop) that can be clicked and it will be linked to my website - it will open up a browser window and go to my website .      Is it posssible to make one of these icons that works with both Macs and Windows machines?  Thanks!

    Now it works!  Thanks, Denico!
    The reason I saved to text:   The first time I followed your instructions, it did not work.   I tried to figure out what I did wrong and saw that you wrote to "save as plain text."   I did not know what this means and there was no option available to save a plain text.  So I looked around and saw "save as stationery" and I guessed that maybe that was what you meant.   And after that, it worked!  But the next thing you know, the icons started duplicating themselves.
    I guess I had made a different mistake in the beginning and I fixed it without knowing what it is.
    Thanks for clearing that up.
    But just one question.  WHY does saving as "stationery" make an icon duplicate itself?

  • A UPS model that works with Mac Native software to do a graceful shutdown and automatic restart during a power failure.

    I've tried 3 UPS's (2 APC and one TripLite) that state they are OSX compatible, however, they do not fully respond to the native osx setting in (system Preferences/ Energy Saver/ UPS/Start up automatically after a power failure). This is what happens:
    During a power outage, the OS does a graceful shutdown, but does not reboot when power is restored. 
    Apparently, the UPS is not notified to turn off during the shut down process. The power (on-Off-On) cycle is required by the mac to restart.
    Trip lite tech support says they have software that works with Windows and linux to do this, but not mac.
    I've tried two older APC UPS's, One Smart UPS1500 and a Back-UPS 1500 with the same result on two different servers and one iMac.
    At this point I'm looking for a make and model of a UPS that does work. If anyone can verify a make and model that actually does this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
    Its a simple test, just pull the plug on your UPS, wait for the system to shut down, and then plug the UPS back in. The system should reboot.

    Many of the CyberPower UPS units are compatible. Checkout the home solutions on this page: http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/products/ups-systems.html

  • Scanner which works with mac os x 10.6.8?

    Can anyone suggest a scanner which scans photos (ie high quality) to buy for mac os x 10.6.8?  We've got a printer but cannot find a good scanner to work with 10.6.8.  I've not had any luck with the Apple Store so thought I'd try on here.  Thanks for your help!! :-)

    I believe this version works in 10.6.8.

  • Can someone recommend a good multi-function scanner/printer/copier that works with Mac OS 10.6.8?

    I've just purchased a Canon Image Class MF4570dn. Very disappointed to find that whatever I do I cannot get the scanner to work & the Apple support board is of no help.
    It seems like there is a conflict with OS 10.6.8 that does not let the scanner get recognized by any scanning software -- either the Mac native software in Preview or the Canon software included on CD with the box & via download from Canon's site. The Canon software is called "MF Toolbox" but for the life of me I can't get it to start without instantly crashing!
    Any suggestions of set-ups that are working with you on a similar system set-up would be much appreciated!

    This is  discouraging! I ended up trying Canon because my Macbook Pro suddenly stopped recognizing my previous HP scanner -- a MF inkjet printer.
    I have been looking at HP multi-function lasers in lieu of this faulty Canon I just returned.
    I intend to be doing very simple things with whatever MF unti I end upw ith -- no printing or scanning over the network. I'm happy to connect it directly to my computer via USB. So I'm not sure I'd experience the problems you are having.
    Maybe I should go w/ one of these Brother units? Is there anyone on this board that can attest to these machines working with MacBook Pros?

  • Scanner Driver for Microtek 5900 that works with OS 10.6.6

    Is there a driver available for a Microtek 5900 scanner that will work/be compatible with OS 10.6.6???

    I would love the answer to this as well....I tried the latest VueScan and it fails to recognize the 5900. The VueScan website says its supported but requires a driver from Microtek's website but of course there isnt one there. I also tried ImageCapture to no avail.
    Next step is to load ScanWizard in to the VirtualBox I have running on my Mac, but I would like a native solution.

  • Web host recommendations (that works with Mac IMAP Mail)

    hi all.
    i did a lot of research and moved my sites to a HostGator and after going through all this effort i have been finding my sites are being shut down due to an issue where my IMAP email is pinging their servers and when they see 25 pings (or whatever) they shut down my site.
    i have been through an excructiating two months of unchecking IDLE settings, unchecking Push and being told to move to POP (not an option for obvious reasons) and/or alternatively being told it is Mac Mail's fault. i have also been told not to check my email. in order to get a plan where checking my email on HostGator does not result in the shutting down of my website i am being told i have to sign up for a plan that is two and a half times more expensive per month than my previous plan.
    i am at the point where it appears the easiest solution may be to get rid of my laptop or my iphone.
    anyone have a good recommendation on a new host provider so i can get free of these guys?
    TIA

    hi scott. thanks a lot for the post here. /so/ glad to hear from someone that is also having this issue.
    i was not aware that postbox was still alive. i purchased this software and found that there were functionalities that had controls in the UI which were not operable and that some of the tools were very buggy. then they closed the forums so you could not talk to other users and then eventually they stopped providing me support. in any event, i have been thinking about installing and going back to Thunderbird so do you mind if i ask you some follow ups here?
    i have about ten email addresses which sort of complicates things i think as it is uber helpful to know where i am getting an email to. i mean, one of my email addresses is "[email protected]" (super important to me) while others are to other addresses. also, i have two domains so if i just send everything to one address this is a bit confusing.
    /anyway/ i /tried/ setting an "[email protected]" and set up forwarding in the CPanel to this "all@" address. then i simply put this one "all@" domain in my email client. for some reason i think this created duplicates in some cases. do you happen to know if FORWARDING as you describe means it will show up in BOTH the forwarded email address and in the ORIGINAL account? i mean, presumably the fact that you have the GMAIL account on your iphone means that this email gets forwarded to this GMAIL address (in my case /all/ my email addresses could get forwarded to this GMail address) but it ALSO shows up in your email client when you enter your email addresses INDIVIDUALLY?
    do you know what i mean? i mean it sounds like you are suggesting (again really helpful) that i get my email in bulk on my iphone with all of them forwarded to this GMail address but if i ditch Mail and set up a client that presumably limits processes that i can get the mail individually on my laptop and on my desktop, yes?

  • Looking for a printer/scanner that works with Time Capsule

    I recently purchased a Canon MP250 printer/scanner, 1 GB Time Capsule, and two iMac's (21.5 and 27). I connected the printer/scanner to the Time Capsule USB port and it was absolutely trivial to get both iMac's to print to the MP250. My problem is that I can not figure out how to get the scanner to save scanned image files to either iMac.
    If I plug the Canon MP250 directly into either iMac, it is trivial to scan. Pressing the SCAN button on the MP250 causes the Image Capture application to launch on the iMac, and then you simply press the Scan button of the Image Capture application.
    If it is not possible to scan connecting the Canon MP250 to the Time Capsule, is there another model of printer/scanner that will work as a scanner when connected to the Time Capsule?
    Thanks,
    Carroll

    If it is not possible to scan connecting the Canon MP250 to the Time Capsule, is there another model of printer/scanner that will work as a scanner when connected to the Time Capsule?
    The USB port on the Time Capsule will only support compatible printers. It will not support other functions such as copy, fax, scan or maintenance. If you need these services, your only option is to connect the all-in-one directly to a computer.

  • Wireless print server that works with Macs and Epson R1800?

    Hi,
    I'm looking to buy a wireless print server, which I could use as if the printer was connected directly to my Mac. So basically, it just needs to have printing over IP port (like port 9100 on HP JetDirect) and drivers for Mac OS X (or ideally, no special drivers needed at all). Devices that do sharing of the printer only over LPD (older Unix), SMB (Windows), IPP (Cups / newer Unix) or similar protocols is not what I'm looking for here.
    The reason why LPD, SMB and IPP are not an option is that I'll need utilities such as Epson Printer Utility to work over the network too.
    It looks like Linksys, Belkin and some other have products that allow access to the printer over port 9100 (standard HP JetDiret's port) as if the printer was connected directly to the computer. However, for the most part I was able to find only success stories for Windows users.
    Windows has standard driver that allows connection to the printer to be easily switched from USB port to network port. Does OS X comes standard with that feature, or is the special driver needed?
    Most importantly, has anybody had success with printing from Mac through wireless print server (any brand) to Epson R1800? Did the Epson Print Utility (checking the ink levels, checking and cleaning the head, etc) work? Any special drivers needed?
    Thanks

    direwolf has hit the nail on the head - the Epson driver won't work for IP printing. The Epson driver is a Carbon driver, where they build the comm protocols into the driver instead of enabling use of the standard protocols on OS X (that are part of the CUPS system). You'll need a CUPS driver to use the standard network protocol(s). The printfab driver is a CUPS driver.
    Exception - the Apple Extreme/Express/etc print servers have firmware that make them work like Macs - Mac-to-Mac sharing works with USB-only drivers! I hesitate to recommend the Extreme/Express, because Apple can't seem to get all the kinks out.
