You can either download the files to your Mac or PC or you can use it on line. You get three months on line for free. If you don't pay extra after that, you have to use your local installation. You are allowed to download the files onto two machines.

Hi Stephen. All my systems are Mac. Therefore I have not tried using a PC format.

My manual has separate sections for PC and Mac. It would be easy to miss the Mac instructions -- 4 pages in the middle of a 23-page booklet, with all the rest devoted to PC -- but those pages covered everything in Mac-only detail. I bought mine a while ago, and the booklet (and the supplied Audacity program) are out of date. I can't tell you whether an updated manual and program are now included. I can tell you that I updated Audacity on line, for free, and that the settings are in different places than they were in the original version. Similarly, the Mac OS X preferences that you have to set look different than in my copy of the manual. My manual has separate sections for PC and Mac.

I am not sure but I believe there would be a Rosetta Stone version for windows. The product is great. I would get in touch with RS directly and ask the question. It worked perfectly for me on a Mac.

I bought a disk for my PC, so yes. Otherwise, you can buy the online version.

I have upgrade both versions of the iBook and also the new MacBook. There is no comparison, the MacBook is the easiest Mac laptop ever for upgrading the hard drive. (The iBook being the worst!) You might need a Torx 8 (??) screwdriver, I can't remember now, but it was in my standard Mac toolkit. :-)

I don't know what Totale is, so I'm guessing it didn't come with this version. Also, unless you have had some French I think Rosetta Stone is hard.

Yes compatible with Mac - You can download install files from the Web... No disk necessary.

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.

Roy, I believe it's download only. However, I am away for a few weeks so I can't give you an exact answer. I would check the kit, if I was at home. I really got a lot out of the interactive portion. Most of the Italian's that we encountered, except for the train station in Rome, were friendly and very willing to speak English. You might be very frustrated with the dialup. Also, be sure you have enough RAM to hold this program. I learned that lesson the hard way. It won't download, if there's not enough memory, or whatever is needed. I'm not too proficient with computer stuff. So you may want to consult with a second person. Whatever you decide, have a wonderful time in Italy.

SO it says in the comment above that you should be able to download the software for Mac. This is why I purchased this device, and then when I called customer service the guy tells me the only software they have is in miniature cd format??? WTF.

I have a Macbook Air as well. It does come with a CD and I also can't find any way to get the software.

Yes it does! I just installed it and it had both Mac and PC installers on the disc.

Hi Buddy, yes it works perfectly on my macbook with just one thing. You have to connect it and then 'find' it by inserting a disc. Also, I had to re-connect it each time I changed the disc I was downloading. Good luck.

It seems like you got the PC download version. There is a PC and a Mac download. Sadly, I don't think there are refunds on digital media.

I'm sorry I'm not going to be of help to you. I purchased the the Rosetta Stone French for my nephew that was moving to France, we had to return it because we were not able to install it.
