What is the most recommended receipt scanner for iMac or MacBook?

Looking for a good dependable receipt scanner with MacOS (Mountain Lion) user friendly software. I've read some info about the Neat for Mac but too many negative reviews about it's software. Please me with this if you know of any other.

Any Scanner will work, Fujitsu Scanners come with Abby Scan...

  • What's the Best Business-Card Scanner for Leopard?

    I use the IRIS card scan which works but is a long shot worse than the Cardscan which i used to have on a pc back in 2000.... there is currently no really good solution for business card scanning on the mac that i have seen.

  • What is the most suitable image format for processing with imaq?

    Hello.
    What is the most
    suitable image format for processing with imaq?
    I want to capture an image of a usb webcam, store and
    then process it with imaq. I need to know what format to save the
    captured image can then load and process it with imaq vision.
    Thanks

    The only criteria is: don't use JPEG for anything scientific!  The compression involved with saving JPEGs means you always lose information.  I tend to prefer PNG - it's compressed, but non-lossy, and also widely supported.  TIFF is fine as well, but I don't think has any advantages over PNG for this application.  JPEG2000 can give good non-lossy compression I think is slower to read/write than PNG.

  • What is the reasonable battery count cycle for a new macbook pro?

    what is the reasonable battery count cycle for a new macbook pro? I just bought it and i found that the count cycle for the battery is 6, is that normal?

    First off, a MacBook Pro is not a Power Mac.  Power Mac is the nomenclature for Apple desktop machines prior to mid-2006.   Mac Pros also are desktops, but later than mid-2006.    http://www.apple.com/batteries/ covers Apple notebook batteries and other battery performance.  I've asked this thread be moved.

  • HT4623 What is the most current iOS version for iPhone 3G?

    I have an iPhone 3G, what is the most current iOS version? I have 4.2.1 and when I tried to update, iTunes says that I have the current version. I can't seem to download any apps with 4.2.1.

    That is correct,
    The last release of iOS to support the 3G model was 4.2.1, released on November 22, 2010
    The 3G model is now 4 and half years old.

  • What is the most recent software update for mac

    I have a recent MacBook pro and the most recent software update is over 1gb! I just wondered what it was? M

    A really recent MacBook Pro would be running Lion, Mac OS 10.7, and the most recent update is 10.7.3. The delta update from 10.7.2 was found to cause problems and rather than fix them, the update was pulled and Lion users were directed to the "combo" updater which contained all the code necessary to update any Mac running Lion from any previous version of Lion, which is a lot of code, hence the very big download. BTW, 10.7.3 has been problematic for some software so it would be wise to explore the comments and complaints in the Lion forum before you update since you can't go back if you change your mind without having a good backup. Also BTW, this forum is for the Mac Pro; you have a MacBook Pro, which has its own forum and can probably provide you with more useful information.

  • What is the most popular Video format for pc's and Mac's to just play

    I made a video that had some shots in HD using my Canon HG10 and some shot were regular NTSC. I made a final quicktime output, and gave it to my client. It plays the sound but not the video. So I condensed the video to a smaller format NTSC w/ 16:9 aspect ratio, and no she says the quality is almost not playable. Everything plays and works fine, even the same files that I give to her. She also wants to be able to play the video in loops. What is the best program for a PC to do that?
    Thank you

    Try exporting in Uncompressed 8 bit or Animation. Also save the file in the Quicktime Player to play in High Quality. If you export in NTSC/DV, quicktime will play a low quality version by default. Go to Window > Show Movie Properties > Video Track > Visual Settings, and check the High Quality checkbox and save the file.
    I wouldn't recommend H.264. It's a lossy codec for mobile devices and the web.

  • What's the best external hard drive for iMac?

    I'm very close to purchasing a 21" iMac. I've read about the 27" model problems, but nothing negative about the 21" model. Frankly, in the space I have, the 21" model will work just fine. I'll be replacing my MacBookPro laptop, which I will move to my work station at work, replacing my PC laptop (making totally Mac driven).
    So anyway, I'm going to take the external hard drive I currently have at home and bring it to work also, leaving me with a need to purchase a new external hard drive for the new iMac. My question is: which external hard drive do you think is best to get. I'm getting at least 1T, and perhaps as much as 1.5T.
    I've been reading about the Western Digital My Book for Mac, but there appears to be some new issues with the software and Snow Leopard. Anyone know anythign about this?
    Also, some of the online descriptions indicate some hard drives need to be reformatted to work with Macs. Anyone know have any input on that? What about Seagate? Anyone have any experience with those?
    Any input is greatly appreciated.

    Most any drive will work with Macs, and Time Machine.
    Most drives come formatted for Windoze, but most of them can be re-formatted on your Mac to work with it. See item #5 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    Also note item #1 there for size considerations; and items #3 and/or 4 for using with other data and/or other Macs.
    If you think you ever might want to put a "bootable clone" on it, be sure it's a bootable drive. Most PPC Macs can boot only from FireWire; most Intels can boot from F/W or USB. But some Western Digitals won't boot a Mac. Their list of which ones should and +should not+ boot: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=1787. But note the disclaimer that they don't support it +*at all.+*.
    In addition, many of them have a built-in sleep mode that cannot be disabled, and sometimes interferes with Time Machine backups: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=1376
    Depending on what ports you have, FireWire 800 is by far the fastest; FireWire 400 next, and USB slowest (F/W 400 and USB 2.0 are rated about the same for short bursts, but F/W is faster for sustained transfers. Also, your Mac's CPU has to do more of the work with USB, so actual throughput is usually less).
    Many folks think USB is less reliable than FireWire. If you do get USB, be sure to connect it to a port on your Mac, not a keyboard (that may be only USB 1.0). Try to avoid hubs, too.
    If you're using USB, it's usually best to get a drive with it's own power supply, as taking power from your Mac can be a marginal proposition. Portable FireWire drives without separate power supplies don't seem to have this problem.
    Take any advice for or against particular makes or models with a grain of salt: all makers (of just about anything) can have a "run" of bad components, or a relatively few early failures. Plus, by the time any really good trends are noted, the model has probably been revised or replaced anyway!

  • What is the best virus protection software for imac

    Can someone suggest the best anti virus software for an intel based iMac?

    If you are really running OS X "Leopard", you should be aware that Apple stopped providing updates for it years ago. On the other hand your profile also indicates you are using a Power Mac, and they do not use Intel CPUs. The good news about that is that the PowerPC platform has become so uncommon that they are extremely unlikely to be the target of any sort of malware or virus attempts. So, more information is required, but lacking that most of the following principles apply equally well to any computer.
    There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
    You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
    Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
    Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up",  "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
    Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    "Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
    If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    The same precaution applies to Adobe Flash Player. Newly discovered Flash vulnerabilities appear almost weekly.
    Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver "free" movies or other copyrighted content that is not normally "free".
    The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • What is the best Book Cataloguing software for iMac. I have about 5000 books I would like to bar-code scan into my iMac. Thanks

    What is the best software for cataloguing a large book collection into my iMAc. I would like to use a hand-held scanner, and scan bar codes, entering ISBN numbers only when necessary. Currently using Book Collector (www.collectorz.com) on a PC. desktop

    I did something similar and used an application for my phone (Android OS at the time), which I can't recall the name of, to bulk scan the bar codes and subsequently upload the list to my mac in the form of an excel spreadsheet (it was a csv file). When I migrated to an iPhone, the application "Bar code scanner" performed in the same manner. Using my phone was by far the easiest method of bulk scanning (and subsequently cataloguing on my machine) in both instances.

  • What is the best case to get for my new Macbook Pro

    I just bought a new 15" Pro over the phone last week and according to the tracking it should be here by Wednesday.  I am extremely excited and cannot wait to get my new machine (my first mac).  But my question is, I want to protect it, what is the the best option, best case, or best sleeve, in order to protect my new investment?
    Thank you in advance for any comments.

  • What is the best external hard drive for iMac?

    The two external hard drives I am looking at are the Seagate GoFlex 500 G for Mac and the Seagate 500G formatted for Windows, but can reformat for Mac.
    The first one is formatted for Mac at the factory  and has both USB and firewire connectors, is upgradeable plus it is ready to use with Time Machine. ($139). The second is very similar, but does not say anything about firewire and would have to be reformatted to work with Time Machine/iMac. ($59, Costco). I want the external hard drive mainly to back up my iMac program data and to store photos and other media. I have put off getting an external hard drive, but feel I need one to keep things backed up. One that would automatically back up would be great. Other suggestions than the above two would be fine, too. I know so little and am looking to this group for some knowledgeable feedback. Thank you.

    Just setup a USB GoFlex with my Son-in-Law's new iMac and it seems like a fairly sturdy drive. However it is hard to tell at this point how reliable both the drive and enclosure hardware will be long term.
    I use both FireWire and USB drives and while USB drives are slower, they will work just find for both Time Machine and bootable clone backups
    Personally I suggest using 2 External HD's, one for Time Machine (if you like using Time Machine) and one or both for cloning with either CarbonCloner or SuperDuper.
    In addition see > The no-worry backup plan | Business Center | Working Mac | Macworld
    Other highly recommended External HD's here in the forum's are, OWC's and LaCie's

    I have recently purchased a Thunderbolt Display for my MBPr (early 2013) and was wondering what were the best settings for both to obtain an equal color and graphic appearance. I want to have them identical for working on graphics and illustrations.
    Thanks

    I have the same laptop. There's nothing you really need to do to optimise the system. Perhaps just install the cuda drivers.
    It runs premiere like a dream.
