Apple Compatibility

[mikethekey]

A friend of mine was given a copy of roxio creator 2009-special edition as a gift. He has asked for my help in installing the program. I read the system requirements information on the box, and see that it is designed to run on Windows Vista or XP. He has an apple computer. Is there a version of this program that we can download from your site that will run on an Apple computer?

Thanks

He might be able to return it---the person still has the receipt from Costco and it is under 30 days of purchase. Do you know if Toast 10 is also offered with the free capture USB hardware, which is included as a bonus with the roxio creator 9 special edition which was given to him?

 

Most places like Wal Mart take no returns of open software.

Sometimes they are nice (if you are) and will make an exchange in cases like this. Fry's even took back a open piece of software when I proved it wouldn't work for me.

Toast 10 is the Apple product but it is significantly different from Creator 2009. There is no exchange so it will have to be purchased. See if the person giving the gift can return it because of the problem and exchange it for Toast (or other). Most reputable stores will.

 

He may also be able to run Creator 2009 with an Apple with bootcamp or other PC emulation. I haven't tried that..

No it will not! It is a PC product.

 

Now if he has OS-X or better and can run as a PC, then yes everything will install and work.

 

Otherwise you will have to find something that can work on a MAC for capture.

Many Thanks--that answers my questions perfectly.

Mike, what will he want to capture from (assuming video)? Does he need an A/D converter (the USB device)?

I even got Circuit City to issue a store credit for software. It took some talking, but they did it.
