Scanning slides
5
I am scanning slides with my new (to me) Epson V600 photo scanner. It’s doing a great job. But it does something I don’t understand. It scans the slide twice - 1st time is normal but the second is a blank white but the image of the side is barely visible - It’s almost like a translucent white mask over the slide. Yet when I save the slide the white isn’t visible at all - there is only one image not two. Can anyone explain what’s going on - cause this method takes twice as long!! BTW I am using the lastest version of VueScan to do the scanning.

Scanning slides
I ran an update on the Epson Scan software and now it sees the V600 - thanks.

Epson Scan 2
Lee, I checked my app. I always use the professional option. My number of samples was set to 1 - so I don’t know why the second pass. I’m going to set it to 2 and see if that makes a difference. I’ll get back to you. Harry

Epson Scan 2
2
I thought I would give Epson Scan 2 a shot at scanning slides on the Epson V600 scanner but it doesn’t see the scanner which is directly connected to my Mac. It only sees the Epson printer/scanner which is connected through wifi. I don’t think the V600 can be connected via network. I have looked through the Epson software but don’t see an option to connect to a scanner that is connected to the Mac via us.

Hello friends, In 2001 I purchased an Epson Perfection 1650 photo scanner. I paid $264.99 for it. Originally it scanned documents and slides and negatives. It still does a great job scanning documents unfortunately the light bulb used for scanning slides and negatives no longer functions and the part is no longer made. I have continued to use the scanner to scan documents. Today my wife and I were at an estate sale and lo and behold sitting on the table for $100 was an Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner. I bought it on the condition that if I got it home and the slide / negative function didn’t function I could return it. I got it home and voila it works perfectly. I did have to download drivers for it and Epson technical support emailed me the link. I use VueScan to control the scanner - it all works great. The same scanner sells today for $349. I got a deal! So I am offering, free of charge, the Perfection 1650 scanner. If you want it and you live in Louisville and surrounding environs I will arrange to deliver it to you. Otherwise you would have to make arrangements to pick it up. This scanner does a great job scanning docs but no longer is able to scan slide and negatives. Let me know if you want it.

Older Canon MX680 Printer Up For Grabs
Hi Gang, I have an old MX680 Printer/Scanner/Fax combo up for grabs. It is in working order. It was ours originally and when we upgraded we gave it to my Mom. She just upgraded to a new printer with ink tanks instead of cartridges, so we're offering this up if anyone can use it. We also have 7 ink cartridges that go with it. It can print on 4" x 6", 4" x 8", 5"x 7", 8" x 10", Letter, Legal, U.S. #10 Envelopes. Has Auto Duplex Print and Scan and 150 Page Auto Sheet Feeder. It's been so long since we used it here at home that I can't remember all the specifics, but you can find more info, including the manual for it here on the Canon site: https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/pixma-mx860 It will run on older Mac OS flavors and Windows 10, but is no longer supported by Canon as far as new drivers go. You can download the older drivers from Canon. I can send photos of the actual printer if you like. Feel free to contact me directly if you are interested. Thanks! Beth Phillips

Apple Mail Junk folder
6
Hi all, Has anyone else had Apple's junk filter start behaving strangely? For some reason (for me) confirmation emails from airlines, bank statements, and other places I routinely get and read email have started to be filtered into Junk. If this does happen, are there tips for how to train the filter better? I do take things from Junk that are not junk and move them into my inbox. Is there something better? Bill

AppleCare

Three years ago I purchased an iMac with AppleCare. AppleCare has expired and Apple is now offering to continue AppleCare for $60.00 for one year. Is this something I should or want to do? Harry

to buy or not to buy a modem
12
Hi all, Spectrum (the internet provider where my mom lives) told me today that my modem was no longer supported [1]. It's an Arris SB6141, which is DOCSIS 3.0. They say they will let me have a modem to use for free, but I'm a bit worried that it really a gateway, and I don't want them to have their backdoors in the router. So... I went to look at DOCSIS 3.1 modems, and they are pricier ($150 to $200!) than I expected ($60). Clearly I haven't bought a modem in many many years. So... should I take the free modem (which might be a gateway) or should I buy a modem? Any tips/arguments either way would be appreciated. Bill [1] The account just came out of hibernation and they've jacked up the speeds. I've tried for the better part of 3 hours to get things to work, but the best speed I can get is ... 0.07 Mbps for downloads on those few times I can even get the speedtest to load. Yow.

Passkey
I just ordered an item off the internet, on my wife’s iPad. When I got to payment since there was no ApplePay I choose PayPal. Since I had never used her devise PayPal ask to use PassKey on another device, yes. I picked up the iPhone it did two face scans & PayPal opened on her iPad & completed the purchase. That was so cool! John

Offer from T Mobile and AAA
4
In today’s mail I received an offer from AAA to transfer to T Mobile and pay only $30 per line per month (not including fees & taxes). Currently I have AT&T and am paying $91.00 per month for two lines and that includes fees. What service do you use and are you happy with your service? I haven’t investigated the offer yet but wondering if this is truly a savings how long will it last? Will prices go up in 6 mos. or a year? We sometimes go out of country - if you use T Mobile and go out of country what is there charge for being out of country? Thanks for any help you can give. Harry
