Virtual Fax for my iMac

I have been using eFax for a few months, but their billing policy is not something I can abide by.
They just charged me $20.00 because they deemed it necessary to re-submit a 25-page fax 14 times without notifying me, costing me $30.00.
In any event, that's neither here nor there.
What I need is feedback on a good and fair virtual fax for Macs.
Thank you.

You can try doing a SMC reset with a wired keyboard, if that doesn't work the keyboard may need to be replaced.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

  • How to run .exe files with Virtual PC for Mac

    Hey Guys, I'm new around here and with mac technology as well. Anyway, I have an iMac OS X 10.5.1 Leopard and I've recently purchased the Virtual PC for Mac 7.0.2 software. So I'd like to know how to use this program properly, because I need to run some executable files in my computer. It is confusing for me because I don't know how to get started, and I only get to the part when it says "OS not found, Install an OS on this hard drive".
    Honestly I've no idea of what an OS is or where do I get that. So I'd really appreciate if one of you guys could tell me, step by step, what to do to use Virtual PC properly, and finally learn how to run .exe files on mac.
    Thanks in advance!
    Have a nice day!

    Always nice to see new faces
    Honestly I've no idea of what an OS is or where do I get that.
    This brings up the second part of your problem. The first part is setting up either a proper Virtual Machine program like Parallels or VMfusion, or setting up a Boot Camp partition on your drive.
    http://www.parallels.com/
    http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
    OS stands for Operating System. You are running Leopard 10.5.7 as an operating system on your Mac (MacOS X).
    The second part of your problem - You will need a copy of Windows XP or Vista if you want to run Windows on your Mac.
    There is at least one other solution for running Windows programs on a Mac. It's called "CrossOver" by a company named 'Codeweavers'. It's based on a project for "Wine" to be able to run PC programs on a Mac or Linux, without having to buy or install Windows. It works with a narrow subset of Windows programs so you would want to make sure the program you want to run is compatible with CrossOver before you buy it.
    http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
    In addition to all the above information, you need to upgrade your Mac to the latest 10.5.7 from 10.5.1. "Software Update" is located under the black Apple icon in the Menu Bar at the top left corner of your monitor. After you are updated you will want to update your Profile here so that it shows the proper OS version.
    With your level of experience with MacOS X and the Windows OS's you should probably get some help from a local Apple store. They have an appointment system and do offer many types of help and training, and they can offer assistance with choosing the proper programs for you to purchase for your machine.
    You are also welcome to continue to ask questions here, of course. You will want to ask your questions with different issues that come up in different threads so that the answers stay focused on the title of the thread.

    I've imported this appliance (and others) on Windows 7 32-bit on a Lenovo W500, on an iMac, and on a MacBook. The one error you should encounter during the "import appliance" step is a path error related to shared folder (the canned/hard-coded path in the ovf file points to a place that is not likely to exist on your computer, so just comment out the D:\TEMP\Host path, or make it for that matter).
    <!--SharedFolders-->
    <!--SharedFolder name="Host" hostPath="D:\TEMP\Host" writable="false" autoMount="true"/ -->
    <!-- /SharedFolders-->
    You can alter system set memory_target=300M scope=both and set your VM memory to 2.5GB and everything will run fine (using the vmctl script to start up what's needed). The "1" option is all that is needed for the tutorial shown in the documentation. If you run the admin server, you will see things run a good bit slower. Part of the tutorial assumes you know about UCM and how to take the UCM content in the sample files and upload those into the repository. You can delete the file already loaded and then do a single file upload to "re-load" the various directories/folders for the menu/home/etc. Upload the png and other files into the same folder (menu.html, menuBanner.png, etc. all go into the same Menu folder). It's not worth the time to set the bulk upload because you have to go out into UCM and dig around the admin settings, stop/restart, and so on. You can also use the contentadmin user (welcome1) to do the file upload.

  • What free inventive fax contrivances are there to receive a fax on an iMac?

    Receiving faxes online free.
    Regarding the free contrivances, what free inventive fax contrivances are there to receive a fax online?... for viewing the fax on an iMac.
    Offices that still use fax.
    Medical centers, government offices and from time to time corporate offices' staff want to send information by fax!

    A USB modem is one which has a USB connection at one end and a telephone line connection at the other, the USB one (obviously) being plugged into your computer. Most modems are this type: the one you mentioned unusually also has an ethernet connection (as you use for your network). (A modem, in this context, is a device which turns the digital output from your computer into a succession of bleeping noises which can be sent down a telephone line - and vice versa. It stands for MOdulate-DEModulate and was the standard way of connecting to the Internet during the Dark Ages. Fax machines use a similar method and most modems can pretend to be a fax machine.)
    A driver is a piece of software enabling your computer to recognize and talk to a piece of external equipment, such as a printer or a modem. Most devices connecting to USB need such a driver (there are exceptions but modems are not among them). The manufacturer of the modem you linked to provides drivers for Windows but not for Macs, so the USB connection won't work. The ethernet connection might: you would have to ask them.
    The Apple USB modem connects easily because the driver is built into the System, but it's no longer made and you may have some difficulty finding one. if you can it's the best bet.

  • I'm looking for software for my iMac to use to copy old VHS movies onto DVD and old records (digital turn table) in CDs.  Recommendations please?

    I'm looking for software for my iMAC to use to copy old VHS movies from a VCR into DVDs and records from my digital turn table into CDs.  Any recommendations?

    For the VHS movies, try googling Elgato - they make a number of USB devices that are supposed to be able to do this, but check what formatting options they offer : you will want a device that converts directly into .MOV files (to play in QuickTime), or into H.264 for iTunes / iPods, etc.
    As for the vinyl records - first you need a device that will convert the analogue output (phono) into a digital form and will connect via FireWire or USB. The Griffin iMic is one such USB device (if still available?). From there you can use the free Audacity download to read in the signal and convert to a suitable format, e.g. MP3. (You will need to use SysPrefs / Sound to switch to an external audio device, instead of your Mac's built-in mic.)
    (Wait - you said "digital turntable" - software already on your Mac? How do you use a virtual turntable to play vinyl?? Unless what you really mean is an analogue turntable that has a CD writer in it, or a USB connection to connect the turntable's DAC output to a computer?? In which case, either use your turntable to burn  CDs, or connect via USB and the free Audacity software to convert the signal to music tracks and output as MP3.

  • Why can't I Fax from my iMac over VOiP?

    I recently switched from our land line over to Charter.net's phone service to get unlimited long distance for the purpose of faxing. I also purchased the USB fax modem so I can fax from my iMac, set the preferences, etc. I even call Charter prior to making the switch to see if I'll be able to fax. They say yes!
    BUT, it does not work!
    I call Charter Cable and I finally get someone who actually knows the technology and he says that I CAN NOT fax through my computer. It should work ok through a regular fax machine, but not the computer. So, what the heck is the difference, both use a modem!
    Anyway to get around this problem? Or am I going to have to purchase a separate fax machine?
    Thanks for your help, Connie

    Most VOIP phone lines do not support faxing because they compress voice signal a lot to save bandwidth. If your fax software allows you to choose a faxing speed, you can try setting your fax modem to the slowest speed to see if that helps. If you only need to send fax, you can use GotFreeFax.com to send free fax online.

  • 3rd party Vesa for 2013 iMac 27'' ?

      hi guys
      was thinking about keeping my late 2009 27'' iMac i7 a while longer BUT a few, unexpected "extra pennies" came tumbling in &.....here i am thinking about it ! ;-)
      however i'm NOT sold on the idea of getting it either with a desk stand OR a OEM fitted Vesa mount ! even if mine's mounted on an Ergotron wall arm...
      i've always needed/managed to sell my used iMacs for a reasonable sum, reasonable enough for the buyer to make it worth their while, reasonable enough for me so i DON'T have to fork out the entire price of the new machine's
    it DOES help & so far the friends who bought my iMacs ARE very happy with them - what i call a good deal all around...
      under this new ''either/or'' stand policy my gut feeling is that.....when time comes to re-sell it & upgrade to something else, users who actually wall/desk mount their iMacs being A LOT fewer than those who don't, means i'll be kindda stuck with an unsold machine for a LOOONG time !! or one i'll HAVE to sell for a lot less to a MUCH smaller crowd of potential buyers ? :-b
      i have googled up the availability of 3rd party Vesa mounts availability up but besides the fanfarre of ''Vesa mounts FINALLY available at '' spread all over the web ( as if something unheard of.. ) i couldn't really find anything
      so my question is : has anyone seen, heard of, bought, is making one such Vesa mount for the 2013 iMac 27'' ? i'd rather pay an  Service Center to mount it AND keep it's desk stand to resell it later, you know ?
      much obliged
      Nuno

    I have the same dilemma, though I usually sell my old computers on ebay rather than to friends. It appears there is no solution at this time that will allow us to have our cake and eat it.
    I am opting to buy the iMac with the Vesa mount and I figure that while there are few buyers on eBay for an iMac with a Vesa mount, there are virtually no sellers.
    When it comes time to sell my iMac, I will be the only one selling a machine like mine on ebay. So anyone who wants one will be happy to pay what it's worth - which is exactly what one with a stand is worth. That's my gamble.
    There is also a chance that a 3rd party Vesa mounted stand will be available by the time I sell the computer, and I could offer the computer with either option.
    At this point my only other choice is to buy an iMac with a stand, which is unacceptable - or wait, which is also unacceptable.
    I guess we'll see in  a few years whether the gamble was worth it.
    This thread has inspired me to send Ergotron an email requesting that they consider making an elegant Vesa mounted iMac stand.

  • I need to buy an External Portable HD 500GB for my iMac OSX 10.4.11 (PowerPc 2004). Can anybody please tell me a few Names/Products that are compatible? Please if you can, just tell me some product name, instead what generical characteristics it needs :s

    Hello
    I have been reading forums and forums and after days of research l gave up.
    Unfortunately it seems that nobody has provided a name of a brand yet.
    Although the effort is very admirable, l am still at the point of finding myself back at square one, with an unanswered question:
    Which portable external HD 500GB should l purchase for my iMac 10.4.11 (Power PC 2004)?
    I know there are many different ones, but l hope at least somebody can suggest one.
    A clear Name of a Product that matches the compatibility.
    I am not an expert of computer and so all the theoretical explanations of technical characteristics mean next to nothing to me :(
    I hope that someone kind enough to halo me out with this will be able to let me know.
    My most greatefull thank you to you all in advance :)

  • I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. I want to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere? Also is it worth just buying another external HD to back up

    I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. However, it is not backed up, so I need a solution to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere for cloud products? Will it be cheaper/easier just to buy another external HD to back up my existing external HD? Thanks

    I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
    it is.
    is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
    i wouldn't - at least not until i
    mount the external
    point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
    consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
    The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
    in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

  • Do I have to get a hard copy of Snow Leopard for my iMac if I already have it for my MacBook?

    I have Leopard on my iMac, and Snow Leopard on my MacBook (both with all available updates)~I tried to use the Snow Leopard Install DVD from the MacBook to upgrade the iMac, but it said "Mac OS X 10.6 cannot be installed on this computer."  Why???  Do I have to get a hard copy of Snow Leopard for my iMac?  Are there different upgrades for the iMac vs. MacBook?
    I think I understand that once I have both computers on Snow Leopard, the Lion upgrade would be ONE upgrade for BOTH computers {I'm guessing I would need the client version for at home use}.  Also, once Lion was on one computer, would I just go into the Mac App store on the other one and download the upgrade on the other one?  But no additional fee would be charged?  Lastly, I read about the combo option that includes all updates to Lion since it's release~would that be the main Lion upgrade on the Mac App or would I have to search for it?
    Thanks for your help!

    The disc you used would have been the install disc that came with your Mac. These can only be used on that as they are made for that specific model.
    Make sure your machine meets requirements
    Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    At least 2GB of RAM
    Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later (Mac OS X 10.6.8 is recommended)
    7 GB of free hard drive space is recommended
    Once you've purchased it would be a good idea to create a bootable DVD or USB
