I find myself using VueScan most often. I finish off the scans in?.
I¡¯ve been slowly scanning a huge collection of negatives and slides made by my parents and me. Many of those from my parents and a few of mine were shot during the 1980s and 1990s onto??35mm film. The film was apparently movie film of some type that SFW would buy by the mile and cut into 36 exposure lengths.
Does anyone know the correct Kodak film type to set in order to scan these slides and negatives?

Lee,
I¡¯ve been using VueScan for years since the first time you recommended it.
A couple of years ago I purchased an Epson ET-3850 printer/scanner/copier which came with Epson Scan 2 software. My version of Epson Scan 2.app is EPSON ET-3850 Series : 6.4.143.1 (6.4.143). Apparently yours is newer. I have not checked for an update and the software doesn¡¯t check for updates. I don¡¯t use the epson software unless I want to scan multiple documents using the document feeder on the ET-3850
Please tell us about Silverfast.
Thanks, as always, for your input.
Harry

I¡¯ve been using a V600 for some years to scan photos, negatives and even slides. VueScan and Silverfast work well with it. The Epson software is buggy with a strange interface and it apparently hasn¡¯t been updated since 2021.
My version of the Epson Scan 2 software is 6.4.200. Do you have a newer one?

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:
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

Re: Now we know - the truth come out!
Amen Harry! Buffett, as a value investor may have thought it was time to take exposure off the table, he has been sell a good deal of late. He also may want to purchase a whale & his cash on hand should now too $200 Billion. Back when we went through the meltdown in 08-09 the government came to him asking for help bailing out institutions going under. He did so with a 9% coupon on Preferred stock that converted to common. Made himself a bucket of quarters.

Re: Apple Mail Junk folder
Oh, nothing has changed for who got blocked. All the phone numbers were attached to a single contact call 'Robocaller'. The things that were being blocked were things such as confirmation emails from flight reservations (though it was not a new airline), emails from my sister, emails from mailing lists I've been on forever, and which I generally read. All that type of stuff.
I'm betting the problem is that somewhere in the bowels of the spam algorithm, a flag got raised because of too many emails came from the same source in one day (I'm thinking the limit is 2). I had to make a bunch of flight reservations one day, and my sister has the habit of sending emails before she is done, so her emails come in bursts.
Generally the junk mail filter is pretty good. It'd be safer if it were either really good (so I didn't have to check) or if were worse (so I'd be in the habit of checking).

Hi Bill,
Just reading through your responses and saw this one.
For whatever reason, all the blocked email addresses turn out to be the phone numbers which I've blocked over the years as being robocalls. Strange.
If that is the case this may be what happened. I didn't realize blocking in one app, blocked all, but guess that makes sense because you are blocking the contact, not the content type.

Hi Bill,
You can check for blocked senders here: Mail/Settings, click Junk Mail, then click Blocked. For whatever reason, all the blocked email addresses turn out to be the phone numbers which I've blocked over the years as being robocalls. Strange. Have you installed any Apple updates to your computer lately? Not that I know of, but still... You may check the Mail/Settings/Junk Mail behavior settings to see if anything there could have changed with a recent update or be affecting spam behavior. Here¡¯s some info on the filter settings. (Make sure to select the appropriate OS version at the top of the page to find info for your specific situation.) The strange thing is that at a time long ago in a universe far, far away, I had my settings as Enable junk mail filtering When junk mail arrives, mark it as junk mail but leave it in my inbox Nothing else is checked So... one would think that nothing should ever end up in the Junk Mail emailbox. The only problem is that the iPhone seems to do its own Junk Mail filtering. If you are using a third-party mail service such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc. it may be they¡¯ve changed something in how they filter spam that is causing the issue before it even gets to your Apple Mail. Hmm... this is worth a check, because I have a forwarding email address at my alma mater. This should not affect anything, and it apparently doesn't, as some of the junk mail is addressed to the forwarding address, and some directed direcly to my dot mac account. Others are directed to email addresses which are the equivalent of 'mac.com' like 'me.com'. So... no pattern there. If you have more than one Apple device handling your email (iPhone, iPad, laptop) make sure your settings are the same across devices. For the life of me, I cannot find anytbing for my iPhone which regulates junk mail. If you also use a third-party mail program such as Outlook for the same email account, it could be something in the Outlook settings is doing the filtering. (I had this happen when I was using Mail on my iPhone and Outlook on my laptop for the same account.) I've managed to get myself limited to just Apole Mail. My Mom had an issue a few years back where her Apple Mail suddenly started blocking messages sent to her from my home account as spam. I never could find out what was causing it. She only used Mail on her desktop computer, and I could find nothing that showed my address as being blocked in Mail or with her mail service provider. I ended up setting up a filter in Mail to direct all my messages to a specific folder that she could go check which circumvented the Junk folder. Earlier this year I got her a new computer, restored everything from her Time Machine back up, and low and behold, my messages started coming through again and I was able to do away with the filter/folder. It remains one of life¡¯s great mysteries. Hopefully you won¡¯t have to go through all that and it¡¯s something simple, like just unblocking the address. I wish it were. I've checked my iCloud email filters (which are useful because they get invoked before any device-dependent rules get invoked, but which are a pita, because they cannot be searched). I'll just keep plodding along trying to remember to check my Junk emailbox more regularly. Still, thanks for all the pointers. It was worthwhile to check out the settings. Bill

I¡¯ve seen that a few times, but what I¡¯m experiencing is I¡¯m asking a site to send me a ¡®forgot your password¡¯ email, or some kind of confirmation about their site. I¡¯ll go to mail and I see the email pop up and then disappear. Ok it must be in junk- nope not there or anywhere else. I can¡¯t figure where it goes.

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?

Tough question. Just some brainstorming here...
Everyone has a different risk aversion level. I never buy the AppleCare. If a machine dies it just gives me the excuse to buy the latest and greatest. YMMV. Jonathan, My last iMac lasted about 8 years. I never had an issue or needed a repair. I have always bought AppleCare whenever I purchase a new device. This is the first time Apple has offered to extend the policy.
If you are attached to that device and want to be sure you won¡¯t prematurely be without it, $60 isn¡¯t that much either.
I probably will not purchase the extended care - it would be $60 a year.
Another thing is that you don¡¯t use yours for work much, so even if the machine is getting a little long-in-the-tooth, it should still meet your needs for years to come. In that case the $60 might be worth it.
When the computer gets ¡°long in the tooth¡± I know I will get a new one - even though my wife will groan. ? The only repair I remember having to do on an iMac is replace a hard drive. That was two computers ago. Thanks for your input. Harry
Good luck with your decision, Harry.
