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

Hello, All:
What's the best business-card scanner for the Mac, using Leopard? Anyone currently using one or know of one? Or two?
Thank you,
Dean

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 best cf card reader for ipad 3 available in uk

what is the best compact flash reader for the ipad 3, available in the uk that works with ios6. thks

You asked about CF, which is Compact Flash (which is larger than and different from SD cards). CF is used typically in higher end digital cameras.
Here is the CF reader I recommend:
Hoodman USB 3.0 Raw Steel UDMA Card Reader for CompactFlash and SD Cards
http://www.adorama.com/HNRAWUSB3.html?utm_source=ET&utm_medium=TransactionalEmai l&utm_campaign=2point0Product1
(also available from other sellers, including Amazon and many camera stores simply stock it on their shelf)
This product reads two kinds of cards -- CF and SD. It is very good at doing those two things (as opposed to cheap readers that read 20+ types of cards and are flimsy and don't work all that well and don't last).
This Hoodman device is ruggedly built, largely metal, and has a special pin guard "drop door" that protects the numerous delicate pins in the reader from accidental damage, which is what often happens to these CF readers -- namely a few of the many delicate pins get bent unintentionally after a period of use. This has been the bane of CF and its readers, those many delicate pins. This Hoodman design directly addresses the issue and from the reviews I've read and my daughter's experience with it, they seem to have succeeded.
It comes with USB 3.0, which is very fast (if you have the 3.0 port), and it works as USB 2.0 if you have the older interface. It reads the latest and fastest of the CF cards as well.

What is the best Graphic Card Option for me?

I have a first generation Quad Core Mac Pro with a Radeon X1900XT with dual DVI Connections for my two older Apple 24" LCD Displays. I want the best card to run Adobe CS5 and support dual DVI for my 2 monitors. I was told maybe the ATI 4870 or 5770. What would be the best card for CS5 and Final Cut Studio?

300 dollars.. 250 for the backplane board(661-5706), and for the single processor tray(661-5707) - your price may vary.. I got mine for 50 dollars.
so, for 300 dollars.. you can make your 2009 mac pro into a 2010.. and yes, you can use the same existing processors.. the good news is that 1333 mhz memory works with the following processors in the new board: W3570, W3580(High end 3.33 2009 mac pro quad which was 1400.00 extra as a configure to order on apple's store from a 2.66 quad-core at 2499.99), and finally the W3680.
I am running still my w3580 with now 8GB of DDR3 1333 mhz memory.. it was 1066, but i got 1333 for a great price..
If you want to know more information about this, please send me a private email.
I can help you if you want..
Please note: if you have the 4870 HD Apple version, and not pc flashed, the sensor reading is too high for the 2010's firmware... you will need the GT120 or the 5770 graphics card.. 5870 is not going to be available for sometime and there is rumor from AMD themselves stating the card might be EOL..

HT4664 What is the best graphics card for FCPX?

In the nonstop anti-FCPX propaganda is an article of interest — posted 7/9/12 — comparing the benchmarks of FCPX and PP6.
http://www.streamingmedia.com/Producer/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=83582 &PageNum=1
The system used was a 2 x 2.93 GHz Quad-Core Mac Pro from early 2009 running MacOS X version 10.7.4 with 12 GB of RAM and an NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 graphics card with 1.5 GB of onboard RAM.
In most cases PP6 outperformed FCPX with this configuration. However, in the comments Ben Balser pointed out that FCP X's A/VFoundation engine wasn't ideal on the NVIDA card:
"Quadro is actually not the best card for FCP X's A/VFoundation engine, but great for CS6's Mercury engine, so the test is amazingly flawed right there. Try both on a 5780 card and watch things drastically change. I've done that test myself. Exporting to Compressor uses a MUCH more sophisticated encoding engine meant for higher level, professional transcoding, not simple outputs, which are faster using Export Media…"
Apple lists this card on its support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
So,
What is the best graphics card for FCPX?

Ben,
Thanks for chiming in on that article. It would be good to have a benchmark comparison with the two systems each with a preferred card.
I'm hoping to see some other comparisons on this thread. Also, some links to other articles about best practices and configurations.

What's the best graphic card for FCP X and a Mac Pro (early) 2008?

I have a Radeon HD 3870 in my Mac Pro, it seems that I cannot use this configuration with Final Cut Pro X. Then what's the best graphic card for FCP X usable in a Mac Pro (early) 2008?
Thx,
Phil

You can get a 5770 radeon ATI MAC card
Avoid the 5770 cards on ebay and Amazon - many are black market or manipulated cards.
Buy it from Apple online store or B&H photo or Macconection
And in my case, I was able to sell my old 2600 XT card on ebay for $65 and put that money toward a 5770 card (Which was about $230 minus the $65)
I installed the 5770 in my early Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 and it works great

What is the best video card for 3D?

I'm getting a 2008 Mac Pro, will equip it with 10GB of RAM. What is the best video card for 3D rendering? I've read that the stock ATI 2600 card is woefully inadequate. I've also read that the NVIDIA 8800 card is better for gaming, and has caused some problems anyway. I can't spring for the top-end Quadra card that Apple offers. Are there good, cost-effective options for 3D work? Can I even get a video card on the open market that is not flashed by Apple?

Basically there are only three options available:
1. ATI 2600
2. ATI 1900
3. NVidia 8800
The latter is the best of the three. See benchmark results at Bare Feats.
You cannot use a video card not provided by Apple because they will not work with OS X or the hardware.

What is the best Video Card I can get for an Early 2008 Mac Pro?

What is the best Video Card I can get for an Early 2009 Mac Pro3,1?

A 3,1 is "Early 2008" with DDR2 FBDIMMs, Intel 54xx Harpertown, and not 2009 Nehalem with DDR3.
http://www.barefeats.com bench tests. A 3,1 does not improve as much due to its old PCIe 2.0 implementation for one thing.
"Best" is hugely subjective. For what? cost versus performance and whether you need CUDA support or AMD - dual AMD's for FCP-X for instance.
I think GTX 970 right now is close to "best".

What's the best graphics card without upgrading PSU?

I know the K430 JU has a wimpy 280 watt power supply. I don't want to go through hassle of replacing the PSU, due to I won't be able to have the front lights or the top speed shifter working.
However, I might be interested in getting a better graphics card. Considering the power supply, what's the best graphics card I could use that wouldn't make the system overheat?

Go here and enter your system details, followed by adding in a graphics card in the range you might like.
If the wattage is too high, keep decreasing the card specs until you get something that falls in the range of 200-240W.
After this, you must check the requirements of the card. Make sure that the +12V rail has enough amperage for your card. My 280W PSU has 18A on +12V.
It would be better if you upgrade the PSU to a good branded one, as it would be more hassle with a new video card that refused to run because of an inadequate power supply.Replacing the PSU is quite straightforward, and will save you a lot of problems in the long run.
The P9 connector is responsible for supplying power to the speedshifter. You could maybe find an adapter, but I'm not sure. By default, turbo is set to AUTO so you shouldn't notice any differences playing in game.

What is the best Business tax software to use on MACs

What is the best Business tax software to use on MACs?

Get rid of Norton a/k/a Symantec. It is one of the worst pieces of trash you can install on a Mac.
You do not need any additional anti-virus software than is already designed into OS X to protect your Mac against malware. I assume you paid enough for your iMac and that's part of what you paid.
If you use Windows, or are concerned about harboring viruses that target Windows, or care about friends who use Windows, then get ClamXav. It's in the App Store and it is free.
Since friends don't let friends use Windows, I have no use for it.

I'm going to buy logic and am already using native instruments komplete, i also use itunes alot and other software

You'll need to look for M-Audio cards.
There aren't any new ones in production, but used can be found.
M-Audio 7.1 PCI card
Various M-Audio cards (old)
Careful with older hardware, as drivers were often not updated as fast and as far as OS X.

What are the best settings to use for the newest AirPort Extreme (AC wifi) with my optimum online service provider?

I have the current generation of the AirPort Extreme and a handful of devices that utilize the new 5Ghz A/C frequency. My internet speeds were blazing fast when I had first set it up but lately it has been lagging terribly. I was told that changing my dhcp did help, which it did it seems like it might be back to its normal speeds but I just want to know what are the best settings to configure for the airport so that I can get the most out of my service on all my devices? I'm using a CAT 6 cable which does help, I have a guest wifi setup with a wifi password which I understand will slow it down a little. Can anyone just point me in the right direction or just give me a step by step guide on what settings to configure? Should I really consider turning off the guest network?

I am assuming that you are looking to configure your network to provide the highest level of bandwidth possible for your network clients. If that is the case, the following are a few things to consider:
The Internet modem should support Gigabit Ethernet. That is the Ethernet connection between the modem and your 802.11ac AirPort Extreme should be Gigabit Ethernet.
Use CAT-5e or CAT-6 Ethernet cables between all wired connections.
Only expect 802.11ac performance with 802.11ac clients in the same room as the base station.
Eliminate or significantly reduce any forms of Wi-Fi interference on both the 2.4 & 5 GHz bands.
When streaming, especially HD video on your local network, use wired connections between the host and player devices when possible.
Other than the above suggestions there are no "magic" settings that you can make on your AirPort. Note: The Guest network shares the same bandwidth as the "main" network. Unless you have a network goal to provide this type of network, it is best left disabled.

What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?

What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?
I read an article and cannot find it that said something about trying to make it 2million pixels and JPG to keep it small, but what exactly should the dimensions be that I ultimately import? Is there some kind of a "density" setting I have to use, as well, when exporting from Photoshop, for example?

See Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books
Density is discussed by Apple in this context as 'dpi'...
132 - iPad 2
264 - new iPad
At the top of this forum there are popular links listed on the right, including image sizing etc. Be sure to study those existing/previous threads on this topic.
Good luck.

I have a 2007 macbook and I am wondering what is the best external hard drive for my Mac?

What is the best external hard drive for a 2007 Macbook?

The Apple USB superdrive would be a great choice for you, ( http://store.apple.com/ca/product/MD564ZM/A/apple-usb-superdrive?fnode=5f ) I am not certain but I am pretty sure that it has the same form factor as the MacMini (Not thickness but all the other dimenetions) so it fits just under and looks like an extension of your mac.
