What is a bluetooth alternative that will enable Yosemite to work on IMAC 20011

I was so excited about this upgrade and could not believe that an IMac mid 2011 was not included in the handoff function.   Is there a bluetooth adapter out there that will work?

Hi CarolV.,
Are you using a separate App, or the Emoji keyboard built into iOS6?
Although I don't have a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard, I tested with an Apple Bluetooth keyboard, iOS6, built in Emoji.
I was able to bring up the onscreen keyboard with the Eject button (upper right above the delete key) and using the onscreen keyboard I was able to press the World key to switch to the Emoji onscreen keyboard.  As the Emoji "keyboard" is so graphic (switching images and selecting them) I had to use the onscreen option to select the desired Emoji.
Once the onscreen keyboard was visible, I could also change between keyboards with "Command - Space" on the Bluetooth keyboard.
So the questions become, does the Logitech keyboard have a media eject key? and does it bring up the onscreen keyboard?  If not, does any other function key bring it up?
Let me know if that works.  Like I said, I don't have a Logitech keyboard so I wonder how universal these options are.

    You'd be able to do that with Photoshop Elements - a fraction of the cost of Photoshop.

    If the videos are .wmv files, VLC from VideoLAN will play them and pretty much any other media format.

  • I cannot get iDVD, what is the best alternative app to enable me to burn my projects to DVD?

    I cannot get iDVD, what is the best alternative app to enable me to burn my iMovie projects to DVD? why do Apple think that no one needs to burn DVDs?

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
    Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
    And if you think Microsoft are any better, their new Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced:  http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
    In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.

  • I use an iMac running V. 10.10.2.  I have an Epson WP-4530 printer.  Is there a printer driver that will enable one to print photos from color negatives?

    I use an iMac running V. 10.10.2.  I have an Epson WP-4530 printer.  Is there a printer driver that will enable one to print photos from color negatives?
    I have already tried downloading the drivers from Epson as per one person's suggestions, but the dialog box isn't anything like what was suggested--the choices in the box weren't the same for the most part.  I don't want to lock up the computer or disable the printer for normal printing, but I have a lot of old negatives that I would love to have prints from.

    I am using the latest software from Epson for Mac OS 10.10.2 that I downloaded last week.  I seem to remember that the older software (we're talking 6-8 years ago) had to option to scan slides or negatives and would convert the results into positives via the scanner.  I don't like the most recent scanning software because it jumps right into the scan before giving you a chance to change the options.  It uses the selected options from the previous scan which are sometimes right, sometimes wrong.  Thanks for your reply to my question!

  • Does anyone have drivers that will enable a Tascam US-144 (old model) to work with the latest version of Lion?

    Hi, does anyone have drivers that will enable a Tascam US-144 (old model) to work with the latest version of Lion? The drivers available on the manufacturer's download site are for a newer model and were not designed specifically to work with Lion. Does anyone have a tried and tested fix for this? Thank you.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • Why can't I minimize more than 2 notepads in FF? I used to be able to minimize as many notepads as I wanted. FF must have done an update & now I can't do that anymore. Is there a setting I can change that will enable me to do that?

    # Question
    Why can't I minimize more than 2 notepads in FF? I used to be able to minimize as many notepads as I wanted. When I do research on a topic I keep many notepads open until I am finished. FF must have done an update & now I can't do that anymore. Is there a setting I can change that will enable me to do that again?
    Also at that time, the length of sentence I am typing changed.
    It doesn't seem to have any limit to how far it can extend to the right.
    Please help. I am not very techy & don't understand Computerese.
    Please explain in everyday English.

    Hi Prabhuti,
    Thank you so much for all your suggestions & helpful links to get help. I am not very computer literate. I have taken many classes over the years I've had a computer but I am still only a beginner.
    I want to tell you that I found a solution to my problem. I finally realized that maybe FF was not the problem but Wind. 7 on my new comp. I went on the 7 Forums & found another person who had the same problem & the answer was simple all I had to do was to right click on the Notepad icon & it would bring up a new Notepad & I could open & minimize as many as I want. I had moved the Notepad icon to my taskbar from the Start menu when I got my new computer.
    I have one more question for you. The notepad 2 program was mentioned there along with several others. I think it was about that prog. that someone said that it could open many notepads & when you closed the comp. the notepads would not disappear. Do you know if it was that program? Also is it possible to use that program the same way as I used the original Notepad? There are so many technical options on that program that I didn't understand. All I want to do is open the Notepad & copy & paste my notes in it & minimize them. Not losing them if I shut down the comp. would be real benefit to me. I believe that is the same prog. you recommended to me. Since you seem to understand tech things I thought maybe you could tell me if that is possible?
    Thank you so much for all your help.

  • What is the strongest iPad that will work in New Zealand and Australia?  What is the cost plus tax, please?

    What is the strongest iPad that will work in New Zealand and Australia.  What is the cost including tax, please?  Can I purchase this at the Brea, California Apple shop?

    You can see the American retail prices on the Apple website. If you look at 3G, make sure not to get the Verizon model, as it won't work outside of the US.
    Otherwise, sales taxes are different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so you'll have to Google to find out the local sales tax in Brea as well as the California state sales tax.

    have you backed up in the past with iTunes or iCloud? If so, it is possible that you will not lose this information, but I cannot guarantee anything.
    Check for backups in iTunes by going to Preferences > Devices > Device backups
    If you do not see any, and your iPad is still in working order, check for iCloud backups in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup
    Also, if your iPad is still in working order, you can backup with itunes before restoring : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
