My Mac operates on OS X 10.5.8. I couldn't download from TurboTax Deluxe 2012 CD. Am I able to download from Amazon or do I need Snow Leopard?

Intuit sent out an email to previous customers that stated that the Turbo Tax versions would no longer be backwards compatible with Mac OSx 10.5.8. So I believe all future versions including 2012 need to be run on Snow Leopard. I downloaded it to my new laptop that runs 10.7x. Good luck. Sorry if that wasn't the answer you were looking for. I am not part of any company and only represent 1 (one) customer's experience.

Phil: Probably - check TurboTax website for system requirements. (I use Win7 & Win8). BTW in case you don't already know, Microsoft will end ALL support for Win XP mid-April 2014 - no more Windows XP Security updates, etc. thereafter. It's easy to upgrade XP to Win7 or Win8 (buy the Upgrade DVD package), so long as you've got some spare hard disk space for the install. Microsoft website provides free W7 & W8 Upgrade Assistant downloadable tools you can run to find out if your XP box's hardware is good enough and to tell you which current apps will & will not run on them. If your PC has a relatively new CPU (ore2 Duo or later), I recommend you upgrade XP to 64-bit architecture Win 7 or Win 8 (instead of 32-bit). Cheers.

Yes-- you should be able to download you .tax2012 file from the online version and import it into your TurboTax 2013 desktop product without any problems.

I set this up last night and it prints fine wirelessly from my MacBook Pro. The trick was to download the software directly from Lexmark--the software on the included CD didn't work with Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6). On the Lexmark site they have software for Snow Leopard that fixed printing. Scanning doesn't work (software crashes) but at least I can print now!

Upon purchasing my computer, the specs show "Mac OS X v10.5.6" as my OS. So, I am wondering if there is some information that is screwed up. All I know is my computer came with Snow Leopard on it, and I upgraded it to Mavericks. Let me find the seller of my Mac. I will forward that information to you. They may be able to help you better than I. Upon searching for the seller of my computer, I didn't seem to locate anything other than their name: The Mac Toy Store. I am pretty sure you can Google the name and find their contact information. They were super helpful throughout my purchase. Good luck!!!

YES, The manufacturer says, right on the box (I understand that you don't own a box, yet, because you are doing an on-line purchase) for the Mac OS X (Ver. 10.6 or higher), the installation wizard is Now Available (Requires Mac computer with Intel processor) Download the installation wizard at: www.trendnet.com/macwizard

I TOO am looking for version B1, not only on amazon but everywhere online. I havent found any site that actually posts the version they are selling. This is crucial for me since I was informed that ONLY version B1 will work with my mac. If you (or anyone) finds a place that posts the availabilty of v. B1, pleease let me know.

This is just the divice; it does not come with the software; that has to be downloaded for your specific operating system. There is more than one choice for the software, (more that one brand name). It is tricky to work correctly on a MAC for Blu-ray, but DVDs work much better. Almost all software available will play DVD an CD on this drive.Apple does not have a business interest supporting external drives like blu-ray, since most of its software, applications, entertainment, are available through iTunes. very respectfully, Curtthom@cox.net, Frankfurt, Germany

I bought software this via Amazon in summer 2014, and the packaging says, "System requirements: Multicore Intel processor, Mac OS 10.5.9 or 10.6 (or higher), 1GB of RAM or more, 10.3GB of hard disc space (etc). So I think that this will not run on a mac running 10.4. You could try and upgrade your Mac to a newer operating system though (Mac OS 10.5.9 or 10.6 (or higher)), that might work. In general, we have not found that this software is computer power-intensive, so it may be worth a try if you have a multi-core Intel processor. Good luck!

According to this page <http://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/what-to-do-if-your-mac-cant-run-os-x-mavericks>, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard, version 10.6.8. I think for your machine the big limiting factor is probably RAM.

If you only want to use the Samsung as an external drive you should not need any software for it to work on a Mac. I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.6.8 and my internal Matshita drive quit working. I unpacked the new Samsung Optical Drive SE-B18AB/RSSD and connected it to my laptop using the included USB cable. I inserted my TurboTax install disk in the drive slot and the install process started immediately. No additional software or setup was needed to use the drive on my MacBook Pro. Now, if you are wanting to use the drive to burn a cd or dvd with data or movies you will need software to do so. My MacBook came with iDVD and iMovie in the Applications folder, but I have not attempted to use either one. There are also 3rd party applications available, but I have no experience with them either. I hope this helps answer your question.

Yes, after you transfer the turbotax contents on the CD to the computer's hard drive you can remove the cd and just use the computer. Hope this helps.

I don't believe you can. Even if it were possible, I wouldn't advise it. To get around the MAC OSX problem, I used the TurboTax online version. I also understand that you can use the H&R Block software and it will allow you to transfer in your prior year information. Good luck!

No, you just buy either Pc or MAC. (the price is the same). I just downloaded it using Firefox as Safari didn't work well. I also don't have a CD drive anymore, but this worked just fine. Hope this helps.
