What brand of printer do you recommend for my imac 27?

What brand of printer do you recommend for my imac 27 from 2009?

I bought a Hewlett-Packard M451dn color laser jet. I'm happy with it.
I selected it after having a horrible experience with a low-cost Xerox color laser jet.
The things I like the best:
Fast warm-up time. No waiting around like solid-ink printers from Xerox have.
No odor. Solid-ink printers have a smell like baked crayons.
Very good print quality - real Postscript.
Duplex printing (both sides of the paper)
I connect to it wirelessly through my Airport; I connect an ethernet cable from the printer to the Airport then my Mac communicates wirelessly.

  • What brands and type can I use for my iMac 20" internal Hard Drive?

    what brands and type can I use for my iMac 20" aluminium internal Hard Drive?
    can I use WD caviar black?
    is it too hot?

    If you are replacing the drive because the existing one is faulty, that's one thing. If you just want more space, you should take advantage of having a decently fast and relatively small capacity drive in there now (instead of a huge drive). Get an external FireWire drive and off-load most of your user data there. Make your internal drive dedicated to mostly your OS and app files, with plenty of free space. That setup will make your iMac run more efficiently. I won't go into more detail, because I'm not answered your specific question... You can post back with any questions, if interested...
    To answer your questions...
    You should be able to use any SATA 3.5-inch drive internally, but you should probably keep it at or under 1TB. The main concerns are power usage and heat dissipation. A drive like the WD Caviar Green would be ideal in terms of power and heat, but they do have slower (or variable) spin rate. I have one as an external drive (750GB) and it is amazingly quiet and cool. If I had to replace the internal drive because the current drive failed, I'd put it inside. I'll trade a bit of pure performance for the efficiency (including low noise), and these drives are more advanced with higher data density and larger cache, so the trade-off from slower spin rate may not be so bad.
    You can check your current drive's model number (which is shown in System Profiler) to get the specs online. The stock drive in my old +Late 2006+ iMac is a 7200 RPM drive. The Caviar Black is a 7200 RPM drive, with a newer design. So if you want to use a Caviar Black in there, I think it would be OK.

  • What photo album software do you recommend for CS4 and/or CS5?

    I want to do pagination, design and layout in CS4 (multiple photos per page, text, etc.) to create printable albums. These albums could be either social event or documentary purposed.
    Many such photo album software programs are proprietary which obliges you to use a specific printer or lab. Are there stand alone photo album software programs out there, CS4/5 which allow you to create photo albums and then print your own albums or use a vender of choice to print your albums?
    I've seen everything from $29 thru $400, and some which are priced beyond $800.
    What is your favorite photo album software for CS4 and/or CS5?
    Thanks for any help you may provide.

    It sounds like you are trying to create scrapbook pages ... if so then its quite easy just to create them yourself using Photoshop. You can purchase scrapbooking kits which will give you all the background papers and elements that you need to add to your page. There are also many free kits around ... a quick google search will show you lots of them
    Sets of the pages can then be uploaded to sites that will print out a book ...

  • What kind of camcorder would you recommend for FCE HD 3.5?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm very new here and have been trying to search for the answer to my question without having to bug anyone, but now I am under the gun, as it were.
    I need to purchase something within a week and a half and would truly appreciate suggestions from anyone here. Here are a list of my questions and I hope you all will be kind of enough to help me. Thank you in advance.
    1- I would prefer a camcorder that records to a DVD, but if tape is way better, please let me know.
    2- I see that FCE does not support AVCHD. What other pitfalls are there to avoid in purchasing a camcorder that is compatible with FCE HD?
    3- My dream is to have a camcorder that can record in 24p, but can't seem to determine whether FCE HD can support it. Please help!
    4- Am willing to pay more for CCD sensor range - is this helping?
    5-Would like to shoot in 16:9 ratio and with lines of resolution of 720 and higher, this possible with FCE?
    5- With the questions above...what camcorder would you recommend?
    I know some of the camcorders that have these features are ranging from $900 to over $1,000 but would consider it a good investment for things I would like to do in the future.
    I hope the information I've given is enough for you all to give your suggestions. Thank you again.

    They are not bad - just unsuitable for FCE and all good editing programs.
    There are several totally different kinds of Digital Video - many people mistakenly think all "digital" is the same.
    DVD, Flash Memory or Hard Disk camcorders produce video in a version of the MPEG format.
    FCE etc. only handles video in the DV or QT format which is totally different from MPEG.
    One analogy would be to buy a diesel powered car and then find that all the filling stations in your area only had petrol (gasolene) pumps. Your car would be pretty useless !
    The only way MPEG can be used in FCE is by converting it to DV or QT which wastes time or money and results in slightly reduced quality.
    All these cameras are produced for the mass market (where the money is), to be used by people with no knowledge or interest in film-making or editing.

  • What brand of RAM do you recommend with this board?

    Hey guys!
    I wanted to know if any of you guys could recommend RAM that would be good for this system.  I am running a custom water cooling kit so I am planning of pushing the processor to 4ghz+.  The problem I have right now is that I cant get the RAM to run past 410mhz, and thus it is limiting my processor FSB to 205.  Also I am pretty sure this ram is limiting my video card tremendously.  Also what speed would be suitable?  Could I go with a good ddr433 dual channel kit?  Or should I plunge to ddr500?  I tried searching these boards but its hard to find info about what people recommend about ram.  I was mainly hoping to learn from everyones experience.
    As a side question, my video card is performing below average.  I have the PCI latency set to 64 and agp aperture size is at 128, are these settings good?
    Currently I am running:
    875p Neo LSR
    Prescott 3.4ghz
    Asus Ax800XT PE
    256x2 DDR400 2-3-3-6 Geil Golden Dragon in dual channel
    Ultra X-Connect 500W PSU
    Thank you in advance!

    I scrapped it all.  As long as you buy a good brand you'll be ok. Corsair is probably the best.  235x17=3995. So pc 4000 would cover you to 4.0 easy, provided you get there. Try to get the lowest latency ram you can afford, other than that just make sure its a good brand. Corsair, Ocz, G-skill and maybe Geil?.
    LKS
    Edit*#4
    Until you buy faster ram, you can set a divider to see how high the proc will go.

  • What AME export settings do you recommend for preview? CS4

    I've got about 30 minutes with lots of graphics. I just want to make sure it flows well as a whole before exporting finals to H.264 and MPEG2-DVD. In other words, I want FAST!
    Thanks.

    Paul,
    Sonicfire Pro has a media player embedded. This allows one to have both the Video and the Audio from the PrPro Project, so that they can play that, and make changes to the SmartSound music, i.e. Scoring.
    As nothing really exists in PrPro, until one does an Export, there is not a way to get, say a Clip in the Source Monitor into Sonicfire. Now, let's take an example, where you have used the Source Monitor to Trim a Clip. You have an Instance of it on the Timeline, with those In & Out Points set. It could be alone, or somewhere between other Clips. As there are a few more steps with the latter, we'll choose that - the Instance of the Clip is between other Clips, but all you want to do is add music, from Sonicfire Pro/SmartSound to THAT Clip.
    In PrPro, set the WAB (Work Area Bar) over that Clip, and then Export. For my SD Projects, I just use DV-AVI, and make sure that Recompress is unchecked.
    Import that DV-AVI into Sonicfire Pro, and it will show up in the player.
    Play that file, to get the feel, if you have not done so, in PrPro.
    Select the SmartSound composition and drag it to the Sonicfire Pro Timeline.
    If it's multi-track, you will have a ton of options on what you can do with that composition.
    Adjust the Duration of the music to match the AV file.
    Edit that music in Sonicfire Pro.
    Export as PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit.
    Import that PCM/WAV into PrPro and position it on an Audio Track with the proper channel-count, that matches your Clip.
    Throw away the DV-AVI "reference file," when you are satisfied.
    There are several tutorials on the Sonicfire Pro - Scoring Edition, that might be useful in explaining how the above is done, plus all of the power available. If you have not seen them, I strongly suggest that you do, as they will give you a lot of ideas on using Sonicfire Pro.
    Good luck, and hope that helps,
    Hunt

  • What Illy CS4 book would you recommend for the beginner to grow with?

    Hello All,
                 I am looking for a good illustrator cs4 book for the beginner to grow with.
    I have read reviews on amazon but thought I might ask the pros.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    The instructions that ship with the program: The Help menu.
    I know it's boring, but if you want to learn a new program, the most expedient way is to work through the provided manual, cover to cover. Don't just read it, actually perform the operations it describes.
    Third-party books almost universally involve these downsides:
    They are expensive.
    They are incomplete. They try to walk a fence-edge between rank beginner and intermediate user; between being merely a too-wordy reiteration of the Help files and next-level techniques for the more experienced user. The reason is obvious: the goal is to sell to as wide a range of users as possible. The result is often unsatisfying: They can't possibly include everything in the Help files, so they leave gaps for the beginner. But they feel compelled to appeal to beginners, so the experienced user has to weed through a bunch of entry-level bulk, just to get to the "juicy stuff" he's interested in. He pay's 100% price for about 15% of the content.
    The are inefficient. They are full of unnecssary verbiage attempting to be clever, cute, hip, friendly, and thereby supposedly more "approachable." Most fail miserably at this, and the result is you have to read through endless passages of such original content as "this will knock your socks off" and "this is awesome" when what you really need is "just the facts, ma'am." The Help files fall under the stylistic guidelines of technical documentation: They adhere to "just-the-facts, ma'am."
    They are short-lived. They go quickly out-of-date, which is one of the reasons why they are too expensive: They have to make their money quickly after release.
    I'm not saying don't buy any. I have a small fortune's-worth myself, all but a dozen or so of which I wish I had never bought. With the money I wasted on them (plus interest), I could buy a new Honda Fury. I'm just saying do the included documentation--however painful--first. And keep doing it for new features when new versions are released. That will get you there the quickest, because it will lay the necessary foundations of overall interface scheme and basic object principles. Then, when you have that understanding, look only for books that are targeted toward an at-least intermediate level user. That way, your money will be spent, but it will be better-invested.

  • What USB graphics adapter do you recommend for Lion?

    The Apple geniuses told me Kensington Universal Graphics Adapter.  It doesn't work, even after searching forever for and downloading the Lion drivers.  (Though there is a possibility that it is actually defective.  It isn't lighting up when hooked up which I would think it would do even if the computer is not seeing it.) 
    There are several out there that are Mac compatable but not necessarily compatable with Lion.
    I would like to run my MBP in clamshell with 2 external monitors. 
    I have actually ordered this one: PLUGABLE UGA 125 (displaylink DL-125 chipset) but I don't know for sure that it will work as it doesn't say Lion compatable.  Display Link has a Lion driver so I am thinking it might. 
    Any recommendations would be appreciated!

    I found one that works.  It is the plugable UGA 125 that I mentioned above.  You will have to download the Display Link Lion drivers.  It is also only good for resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 so if you have a monitor with finer resolution as I do then you will not have the best look.  Fortuntaley I only need it for email, web, etc. while I am running PS and Lightroom on my Dell monitor...so..it works.  It only took 6 weeks. 

  • What spec Mac Mini would you recommend for running XCode 4?

    Our organisation is starting to develop apps for IOS and the first step is purchasing a Mac to run XCode 4 on.
    We are on a budget and the Mac Mini is within our price range but after some initial research we are concerned that we would need more RAM in order to run XCode 4 comfortably.
    Below is the spec of the Mac Mini we are considering using:
    2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
    2GB memory
    500GB hard drive
    Intel HD Graphics 3000
    OS X Lion
    Just wondering what people use to run XCode 4 and how happy they are with the performance.
    Many Thanks
    Richard

    If your development will be iOS apps, the base model
    should be more than sufficient provided you bump
    up to at least 4 gig RAM, preferably 8.  However,
    don't purchase the RAM from Apple as it is way over
    priced.  Go to Newegg or OWC to purchase it.
    If the app requires some signifigant graphics development
    and need to use image processing software to create them,
    I would suggest bumping up to the next model with the
    discrete graphics chip.

  • I just purchased MBP and it is my first Apple computer. How concerned should I be about virus software and what do you recommend for security software?

    I just purchased MBP and it is my first Apple computer. How concerned should I be about virus software and what do you recommend for security software?

    1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets (see below.)
    It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been another layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't actually been tested by Apple (unless it comes from the Mac App Store), but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe.
    Gatekeeper has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could find some other way to evade Apple's controls.
    For more information about Gatekeeper, see this Apple Support article.
    4. Beyond XProtect and Gatekeeper, there’s no benefit, in most cases, from any other automated protection against malware. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. All known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
    That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source. How do you know whether a source is trustworthy?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
    Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
    5. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was never a good idea, and Java's developers have had a lot of trouble implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style "virus" affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful. Fortunately, Java on the Web is mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers. In Safari, this is done by unchecking the box marked Enable Java in the Security tab of the preferences dialog.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a specific task, enable Java only when needed for the task and disable it immediately when done. Close all other browser windows and tabs, and don't visit any other sites while Java is active. Never enable Java on a public web page that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, password-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
    Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be practically as safe from malware as you can be.
    6. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
    Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
    In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    7. ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    ClamXav is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
    A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
    ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
    ClamXav may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use ClamXav unless a network administrator requires you to run an anti-virus application.
    8. The greatest harm done by anti-virus software, in my opinion, is in its effect on human behavior. It does little or nothing to protect people from emerging threats, but they get a false sense of security from it, and then they may behave in ways that expose them to higher risk. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
