I'm pretty sure that you need the Parallels software program. Here's the website: http://www.parallels.com/en/products/workstation/mac/ I hope that helps.

Also, give BootCamp a shot. It's a free download on the Apple website. The only downside is that you would have to dual-boot the Mac, which means, if you want to use the Windows apps, you would have to reboot your Mac into the Windows OS. I would recommend Parallels, but if $80 is not in the budget, BootCamp is the best alternative.

If I remember correctly the game I bought was specifically for Windows. I would look at the game details just to make sure you can run it on a mac.

Download was within a few minutes, I can use the program on my MAC and then work the same document on a Microsoft computer. yes back and forth very nice program. If you are use to the Microsoft Office you will catch on quick with the MAC style program. GREAT BUY!!!! contact me at lschubkegel at yahoo if you need more information..

I did NOT. I have it working in a MacBook Pro. Windows seems to require special drivers for everything. Microsoft doesn't want to know anything after they've got your money. Good luck.

Mark Fetherston, nobody's going to put you behind bars if you put mac os x on non mac hardware. Take it easy there! Ramiah Kandasamy, although both Mac and Windows use intel chips, there is additional hardware in mac computers to make this work. This hardware is not found in non-mac machines, so if you want to do this you can, but you have to hack things as stated previously. Do realize that by doing that, you'll void any support from apple. If you're comfortable working around a computer, you probably don't need their support anyway. If you're not that familiar with computers, either install windows (or linux, which is more difficult to use) on your machine or sell it and buy a mac. Now again, there are things you have to realize when running a mac. The world of software caters to windows first, everything else a distant second. You'll sometimes find yourself scrounging around for drivers for peripherals that come standard with windows. Sometimes, you'll have to work a little to find an equivalent piece of software. If you're into games, realize that a ton of great games simply are not made for the mac.

I'm not totally sure. I know many Apple products will not run MS-Office modules (Like iPhones and iPads). There should be no reason you cannot run this if you have virtual partitions on your Mac like "Parallels", but I don't think it will run without these additions.

Apple computers come with a program called Boot Camp that will help you install compatible Windows software. There are also commercial software that will run Windows on the iMac. Just do a google search for Boot Camp on iMac then purchase my iMac :)

Some of the specialized keys don't work on the Mac (like the Calculator key or the Menu key), because Microsoft doesn't offer custom Mac drivers. But for normal use it's just fine, and I don't miss those keys at all.

Vincent -- I'm sorry that I can't answer your question. I gave up on Microsoft some time ago. Windows 7 was my last Microsoft OS. I'm now an Apple fan. It works fine with my iMac. However, would I buy the KX-MB2000 again? No. Even though it still prints OK, it's telling me to replace the drum, which costs almost as much as the printer. When my KC-MB2000 finally goes belly-up, I will do some research (e.g., Consumer Reports) and buy another brand -- and definitely not an ink-jet. Good luck!

I bought the Mac version originally by mistake and my Windows computer was not able to recognize it properly. I returned it for the PC version and it worked perfectly the first time. I'm guessing the only difference is the driver support but either way you need the Mac version for Macs and the Windows version for Windows.

I, too, have a Mac and a Windows. I've ended up having separate hard drives for each. Most of my data--years and years of documents and images--are on my Windows computer. I got the Mac because I needed a laptop and didn't want to get Vista. My experience is that I can plug the Windows hard drive to the Mac and it will recognize and read just about everything. The PC, on the other hand, will not recognize the drive from the Mac (at best) or will have a blue-screen tantrum (at worst--so far).

is not working on windows about the mac ...i dont thing so, what you need is to go on line to download a lot of files and of course you will find a virus after that....dont buy!

I'm running it on Windows 7. It was initially not supported on Windows 8, hence the reason for looking for an upgrade and discovering it was no longer supported by MS. It will definitely not work as a "Windows App".

Katie, the program that comes with this pedometer appears to be compatible with only the MS Windows operating system. I can't verify this for sure as we don't have a Mac computer right now, but the manufacturer's description only mentions a PC. Of course it's possible to load the Windows operating system on the more recent Mac computers that have Intel microprocessors, resulting in a computer that's running both the Apple iOS operating system and the MS Windows operating system at the same time, and therefore allowing programs to be open and running under each of those operating systems at the same time. Whether setting this up on your Mac would be worth it to you depends upon how many Windows-only programs there are that you would like to be able to use.

If you intend to run Windows on a MAC, you must first install Parallels and then install Windows onto Parallels. You can then run Windows and Windows programs on a MAC.

I ran the software in a Windows VM on Mac OSX. It's been a while since I set it up, but I probably did it that way because there was no OSX version. Hope this helps.
