You can run any version of Windows including XP using VMware or Parallels. This is much better since you can use Mac software at the same time. Its a pain to have to reboot all the time for Bootcamp. There is very little difference in speed.

I haven't used that company in particular but a lot of companies rent lenses. Its a great way to get to use lenses you'd never have had otherwise. The only downside is it can get expensive if you keep renting the same lenses.

And I gave a heads up that it isnt anything special and there is free software that does the same thing. I mentioned one and tom95521 mentioned another. Why arent you going after him? I don't know all things Mac nor am I the expert you think I am, but since I own a Mac, I know more than someone who doesn't own one. Others here on this forum have Macs and know a lot about them too, maybe even more so. I use a Mac and a PC and share my experiences with others and hope to learn from them from their experiences. You should look in the mirror before you start telling anyone to be polite. Your post is very hostile and rude, as were your posts in the iPad thread. Which ones were not correct? Are you the resident expert on all things Mac? LOL

Did you try it before recommending it?? If someone wants to try it, by all means go ahead. All I said was it doesnt offer the 'bells & whistles' you said it did.

It doesnt offer anything that cant already be done with the builtin player or the open source VLC which plays just about everything.

It works but no sound, just like Dom's. Parallels and Bootcamp have full access to the hardware.

it works here.

you forgot the link to the file.

I suggested thedom upload a slideshow to try to help figure out what the problem actually is. If you think thats wasting space then i dont know what to tell you.

PTE slideshows which run on Mac have existed for a while. I'm not talking about the entire PTE program. How will that help with PTE slideshows not working?

That site is not from Apple and he isnt having problems with Windows on a Mac, he's having problems with Mac PTE shows running on a Mac. Dom, upload a show so other people can try it to see if it crashes.

Yes.

that also works as long as the PC has the same components as a mac. some do, some dont.

Other way around. Boot a mac into windows and its a windows machine like any other, except the logo on the case. PTE runs great that way.

They dont cause issues. a mac with Bootcamp is windows hardware. I use Bootcamp and vmware and there is no difference between that and a real pc. Nothing is emulated and everything works. Thats how I run PTE, since i completely gave up on a Mac version.

Home made dvds dont need authorisation. what does copy media to 'memory dump' even mean?? Bootcamp and fusion is not emulation. mpeg 11 ??? dvds are mpeg 2.

Looks to me its abandoned. A couple years ago they said 1-2 years and theyre still saying 1-2 years. Its obvious nothing is happening for the Mac. Next year it will still be 1-2 years. I gave up long ago and now I use the Windows version in vmware.

What version of VirtualBox do you have? You need at least 3.0. These links should help: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#guestadd-3d http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/virtualbox-3-directx.html Sure does. I use Vmware but I know people who use VirtualBox without a problem. PTE works great.

Nope. XP came in two main versions, Home and Professional. There was also a 64 bit and a Media Center version but not that many people used either one. The service packs are free updates and SP3 is the only one that is currently supported. Wrong, it works fine. Like before, it doesnt need fixing since it isnt broken and that link is about XP Mode in Win7.

you have two copies, one aac and one mp3. You should keep the original aac files, since converting will be lower quality (although you may not hear a difference). I'd remove the mp3 files from iTunes though and keep them with PTE and leave the originals in iTunes. HOw big are they? a few songs won't be that much extra space. Aac is better quality so unless you want all your music for PTE might as well keep the better quality. It only matters for music you import from Cd's. are both versions of iTunes the same? a new version of iTunes came out today so maybe you picked up the newer version on Windows but not on Mac yet. It always makes a backup copy of your library file in the music folder so you can switch back to an older version if you want to do that instead.

thats aac. it would be nice if pte supported aac but it doesnt. Set iTunes to import to mp3 or wav in preferences, then in the main window pick the songs and then pick create mp3 or wav in advanced menu. Set it back to aac after you convert.

what format is the music? Not necessarily. He didnt say what format its in. If its mp3, it won't need any conversion and its a different problem. if not, then itunes can convert to mp3 or wav. That link is about copy protected music which Apple hasn't sold for a few years and if it does need to be converted iTunes can do it. No need to use anything, free or not.

That plays fine, but I totally disagree with your system. Lightroom is much easier than what you describe and uses less space too.

both play fine. that leaves PTE as the culprit.

Camtasia does not work, Audacity does. Nice photos too.
