We want a good photo printer, can anyone recommend one

We are trying to find and decide which is the best photo printer for the Apple Mac Pro, can anyone help? Also can someone tell me us which photo software is the best on this machine as we have found the general one supplied (iphoto) is not very advanced for more advanced printing and photography. thanks l

Is there a range in performance and price to what you need? "Best" is pretty much asking for top of the line but not best price/performance for X$s.

Dozens of tips on printers, memory, software etc are you looking for something in between the low end and CS5.5? $200 range for instance? I would tend to think Adobe Creative Suite or therein.

- Try search for type " MacOS X Lion + printers" and I would look at MacFixit and also look for Canon and Epson and OS X issues with updates, drivers, etc. and Lion compatibility.
I keep buying Canon and each new model is just that much better than the last, but I don't need $1K printer (well, my first HP DeskWrite was 20 yrs ago!)

IPhone 4 Cases... Can anyone recommend one?

I have the iPhone 4 "Bumpers" which are great but they don't offer me the amount of protection I would like to have for it. I'm referring to mainly the touch screen getting scratched or otherwise trying to carry it around w/me.
Can anyone recommend a good iPhone 4 case or a good place to purchase one?
Thanks!

You don't need to be in an industrial environment to get dust, lint and moisture in the ports/switches of the phone. Look at all the posts in this forum about "stuck in headphone mode" and "no sound" due to crap getting in the headset jack. How about "unsupported accessory" messages due to dirt in the dock port and all the post about moisture sensors triggering without immersion due to inadvertent sprays.
The Defender covers ALL ports, buttons and switches, keeping what you don't want out. It even covers the ring/silent switch avoiding unintended "silent mode"... Definitely ugly though.

I just got an IPAD Mini and wanted to buy extra chargers Can anyone recommend a rapid charger?

I just got an IPAD Mini and wanted to buy extra wall and auto chargers. Are there rapid chargers made for IPAD Mini? Can anyone give me a suggestion or two about what type to purchase? Thanks so much

My understanding is that the iPad Mini has a 5W charger. You could use Apple's 10W charger for older iPads or 12W charger for the new iPad. They will charge faster.

I am looking for a wall photo maker program can anyone recommend one.

I am looking for the above can anyone help please.

I did a search and a) the softonic download site is mentioned often and I'd not recommend using them as they like to add unwanted things to their downloads, and b) came up with one that looked promising by oreware.com - however, WOT warned that it is not a trustworthy site, so I opted not to go there.
You will need to be very selective while searching for such a software.

Can anyone recommend a good, cheap external CD/DVD burner?

I have a PowerBook G4 without CD/DVD writing capabilities, so I would like to get an external drive. Can anyone recommend one that is compatitible, reliable, and CHEAP? Thanks!

The only ones I'd recommend are the ones by http://www.macsales.com/ They are the ones that are known to be Mac OS X compatible. Others may be compatible with the added http://www.patchburn.de/ or firmware updates which are noted on http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/

Can anyone recommend a simple Notes/To Do List app

Hello,
I am going crazy looking for a very simple To Do List / Notes app for my iPhone that does what I want it to do. I have spent hours in the Apps store and downloaded over 12 so far, and have not found the right one. Can anyone recommend one that:
-allows for unlimited lists (To Do Home; To Do Out; Grocery List; Xmas Gift List etc).
-allows you to manually SORT these lists by dragging them above or below the other items.
-allows you to enter unlimited items (or a large number of items) within each list
-allows for more than one line of text for each list item (not one line with ". . . ."after it)
-allows you to manually SORT these sublist items.
-opens directly to the page with all lists
-is attractive (even a cute, "mom" way is fine)
-has the auto spelling corrector
I don't care about due dates, syncing with calendars or any other fancy stuff. I basically want it to do what the basic yellow Notes app does, but just with sorting capability.
Thank you very much!

If a site is sending you spam, it has nothing to do with browsing the web; they can't track you down or discover your email address or anything about you, so you don't need a proxy server. They got your email address somewhere, so if your email provider is Gmail or even Yahoo! Mail, you can block them from sending based on their domain and then you won't see anything from them. If your email provider is your ISP, they can block those for you if you call them and ask them to do it.

Can anyone recommend a wireless bridge?

I would like to get one as it takes out the hassle of drivers for wireless and means I'll get better signal quality as it doesn't have to be right next to my PC.
Can anyone recommend one that works well with linux? (so using a web browser to configure the connection) and working with WPA would be a bonus.
I'm in the UK if that helps.

The iPod Touch only uses b/g wireless standards, so you can use any wireless-g router. Since Wireless-N is the next standard, you can usually get a Wireless-G at an economical price. G is an older standard and quite sturdy. Linksys would be a good choice for you since you are already using one from that company. Just swap it out with your existing router. Special note: if you do go wireless, be sure to shut off the wireless on your iPod Touch when not using it; drains the battery.

Can anyone recommend some server monitoring software

I am looking for some sort of software tool that will allow us to monitor the processor load similar to Activity Monitor but remotely. Server Monitor does not provided that particular function. Can anyone recommend one?
Thanks

Can anyone recommend cloud storage that I can use with my AppleTV?

I'm looking to get 2TB for my music and films can anyone recommend one that I can use with my AppleTV? Preferably with cloud too.

Thanks Rudegar
Apparently there is a way of doing it using the WD live book (which i know is not technoically cloud but that is what WD refer to it as). As you have said it can stream from iTunes, but if you store your movie file on your network drive and point iTunes at it, it will work. Apparently its easy, file / add file to library - then navigate to the folder location via the file path.
I'll be trying this as soon as a test unit gets here and I'll update you.

Can anyone recommend a good app for designing and printing labels?

I have just switched from pc to mac and have pages on my macbook but it does not have a label function (please apple sort this out its the only major flaw!) so can anyone recommend a good app that will do what a pc does? I do not really want to pay £85+ for office for mac just for the word program

One way to find an app at the App Store is to use keywords.
Type print labels in the search field top right corner of the App Store window then press Enter or Return on your keyboard.
Click one of the apps listed. Always check Requirements under Information and definitely read customer reviews before purchasing and make sure there is a support link available in case you need to contact the app developer for questions.
This forum is mainly for troubleshooting the App Store.
For feedback for software designed for printing labels, try posting your topic in the Mac OS X community here.

Good photo printer???

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good photo printer? I was using a Kodak Easyshare Printer dock plus, but since upgrading to iPhoto6, it's seems that it's no longer supported. I'm only using it for personal use, not a professional photographer, but I want pictures of my son to look good and not fade. Some from a compact HP photo printer have faded after only 2 years. I'm not too concerned about cost at this point, just need some advice I can run with. Any suggestions?? Thanks.
iMac (intel) Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I too have the Epson R200 and it works great for the average user who wants photo quality photos. I use mine for presentations with photo glossy paper (I highly suggest because everyone goes "Oooo Ahhhh"). I believe they don't sell the R200 anymore but the Epson R220 is the updated version. I love my Epson so much that I bought my parents one for Christmas. They needed a all in one so I bought them the Epson Stylus Photo RX700. They really love it because they scan in old wedding pictures or pictures when my brothers and I were kids. Then they print them out and show them off to friends. It is a little pricey, but it is an all around good choice. Now my brother came to me recently and asked which printer company I liked. As you probably have guessed, I told him Epson. So since he is getting his second major in Photography he went out and bought the Epson Stylus Pro 4800 Professional Edition. He wasn't on iChat so I don't know anything about it, but it looks really nice. It is extremely expensive though, over two grand. That is some comparison that I though you might be interested in. I have used Epson since I bought the original iMac (I believe) and have always enjoyed them. They have yet to fail me, yet to fail, and best of all, they make wonderful pictures even around 4 years later.
I hope that helps,
Jon
PS I think anything really from Cannon or Epson will suit your needs. Those are the only two companies that I trust for good quality.

Can anyone recommend an external storage device to supplement my mac book air? I already have a time capsule but want the new device to replicate the data on that so ideally would like a device that i can connect to the time capsule through a cable.

Hi CJR
I'm not sure how Time Capsule can be replicated onto your external drive but there is a USB port on the back of TC that can be hooked up to any recent external drive.
Another thing to think about , besides a Time Capsule failure, is the theft of your Time Capsule, so it might be a good idea to consider separating any redundant back-up from your Time Capsule or both my be stolen.
TC will back up until full and then begin deleting the oldest back-ups. Mine is a 2TB Time capsule.
My back-up plan is as follows:
1. Macbook Air back-up on Time Capsule though Time Machine backs up everything - I think it's about every 30 min or so.
2. Contacts, reminders, appointments, notes, email are backed up through iCloud.
3. iTunes and non-itunes purchased music is on iMatch (and no need to back-up) and any non-iTunes music is backed up on an HP external drive (in case Time Capsule dies)
4. Photos are on my MacBook Air and are backed up on my HP external drive.
5. Office documents (Excel, Powerpoint, Access etc) are stored in a Skydrive app (like iCloud) and Skydrive syncs these docuemnts with the MS cloud and my old PC and does not alter their native format like storing in iCloud would do.
Cheers

Can anyone recommend a USB print server for both Mac & Windows?

After spending at least 20 hours trying to get my Macbook to print to a Windows XP shared printer, I am giving up and going the print server route. Unfortunately there seem to be a LOT of options and some are >$100. I want to be sure to find one that works for both Mac and Windows XP. Can anyone recommend a print server based on experience?
It can be hard-wired to the network (does not need to be wireless) and only needs one USB port. Also, it does not need to be "multi-function" compatible.
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, Apple just started using the CUPS printing system ~4 years ago. With CUPS drivers, you can print to all the standard comm protocols, the way drivers work in Windows. But except for Brother's, NO non-postscript printer driver on OS X was written to use CUPS. Instead they are using Carbon, the OLD OS 9 legacy programming interface. In that, they get to specify exactly which protocol is supported - and that's nearly always ONLY USB.
So, we have to rely on third party CUPS drivers. See if Gutenprint supports yours:
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
or else, you may need to use printfab:
www.printfab.net
About print servers - they nearly all support "standard" protocols, which OS X (with CUPS drivers) can print to.

We want a good photo printer, can anyone recommend one
