Unfortunately, I have been working with their tech support on this same issue and nothing seems to work so far. Good luck to you.

No disc necessary once you install it. When you update, you have delete the program and then download and install the update.

I actually don't know. It's a Xmas present. I also bought mac office by MS just to be on the safe side.

I haven't used it with a Mac, but the install guide and disk come with information and files for using it on a Mac.

I am not sure what you can do if you bought the download version. If it's the disc version as said in another one you can go into your orders and go through the list and find the return/replace and go through the steps.

If I remener correctly (when I used it) it was aimed at Mac users and loaded with mac software. That said, buying this- the best thing you could do is reformat it out of the box and wipe off the preinstalled software (it's not good).

More info is necessary to properly answer your question. Remember that this software only installs in Windows, not Mac OS. What operating system are you using? Does another CD/DVD function when inserted into the drive? If no, then you need to return the drive. Other than that, if the disc itself is bad, call Cyberlink Support to see if they can help you download the software, keeping in mind that the current versions of the software are newer than that on the CD inside the box with the drive. I hope this helps.

I don't have experience with MAC. However, I am having issues currently with the system. A cloud change was made and all my records are missing. Not very excited about it at this time.

it all depends on how you use it. This version I bought was the drive formatted for MAC OS

I haven't had any problems at all. Are you doing your Mac upgrades as soon as requested? I just wish the Mac version was as large and as easy to use as the PC version

When you buy the software download you have the ability to log into your amazon purchase library and download it again in the future if you need to reinstall it. Think of similar to the situation if you bought the hard disc where you could re-insert the disk after installation to install again.

Since I do not have a MAC I cannot honestly answer this question. I have used Turbo Tax for many years and have not had any problems. I am a retired Tax Accountant and please understand it does help knowing or having knowledge as to many of the questions that some people cannot answer. It does not take long to figure the program out. Hope this helps. Shelley S

I have seen companies who you can purchase the download through and purchase a back up disc also. But if I were you I would download the program to a disc and then install it to your computer. Then you have the back up right away and don't have to purchase it too.

Yes, a full install. I don't think Apple ever did the Windows thing of getting a disc that only works with the bought computer. If they did, it was a long time ago and is not the case anymore.

I had a cd with outdated software and a product key wasn't required. Normally a product key is located on the sleeve of the cd that was provided by the seller. You might have to email them. Good Luck

Just to throw in my 2 cents here, the Disk Utility reformat mentioned above in Andrew's post is spot-on. The drive so far as been great to use. However, I'm running Mac 10.5.6 and it was immediately recognized when I first plugged it in: it mounted and Time Machine asked if I wanted to use it for backups...I did the reformatting anyway as the apps on board are no use to a Mac owner.BTW, the $99 price was unbelievable!Fingers crossed on reliability,Yikesboy

Yes. I haven't encountered any issues. These are top notch disc's. I've used them in several PC's including my older MacPro and G5 desktops. I don't have a MacBook. I haven't had any bad disc's as of yet. I still have over half of the 200 I purchased... but I think I would've had at least one go by now if the QC was lousy. Remember that the best name disc's can have bad runs, and vis versa. IMO we are at the mercy of luck in many cases. All you can do is find a "currently" high rated product, and get it fast before they rest on their laurels! I hope I didn't get too off subject for you here? But I like these discs! Yes.
