I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010?

I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Quicbooks Pro 2010 is not responding or opening currently. Quickbooks does not support Parallels anymore.  I hear Apple Bootcamp is an opton.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010 on Mac?

QuickBooks Pro 2010 for Mac is not supported in Lion. QB Pro 2011 will work, but I just got an email today that 2011 will not be updated to work in Mountain Lion. QB Pro 2012 will be updated for ML.
Be aware that the Mac version of QuickBooks is shamefully lacking in features compared to the Windows version. I do use the Mac version, but it has more features than I need for a small business, so it doesn't affect me. No one knows why Intuit seems to hate Mac users, but they show it every day.
If QB Pro 2012 for Mac can be downloaded as a demo, I would strongly suggest testing with it before making a final decision. You will be able to import the Windows data, but possibly not all of it, depending on the Windows version features you use.
Boot Camp allows you to install Windows on its own, bootable partition. When you boot to it, you are of course running Windows in every sense of the word. Just on Mac hardware rather than typical PC gear. Your Windows version of QB will work there without issue. The problem is having to boot back and forth between Windows and OS X, depending on what software it is you need to use at the time.

  • Are there any recommendations for virus checking/removal programs for the Mac?

    Is there any recommendations for virus checking/removal programs for the iMac and MacBrook Pro running OS 10.6.7?

    as has been said, you need no AV on your Mac. more info here: Mac Virus/Malware Info.
    if, however, you exchange files with windows users on a regular basis, you might want to install ClamXav lest you pass an infected file on without realizing it.

  • Are there any known issues running MAC OS X 10.8.5 on my IMAC and MAC OS X 10.6.8 on my MAC Server?

    Are there any known issues running MAC OS X 10.8.5 on my IMAC and MAC OS X 10.6.8 on my MAC Server?

    To answer the obvious question. No. None that I've seen. But it may depend on what you mean exactly?
    Connecting to file sharing service - None that I've seen
    Connecting to Open Directory (assuming proper configuration) - None that I've seen
    Using the Server's Mail Service (assuming proper configuration) - None that I've seen
    I can say the same about anything else the Server may or may not be offering.

  • I'm buying a new computer for use with Creative Cloud. Are there any advantages to PC vs Mac?

    I'm replacing a seven year old Dell that still works but is getting rather long in the tooth. I have CS4 web design. (For PC)
    I have a Macbook Pro (so I'm familar with Mac OS)
    I'm upgrading my computer to mainly use the Creative Cloud.
    Are there any advantages (related to Creative Cloud) to buying a Mac or a PC?
    I just don;t wan't to a Mac and then find that many features don;t work that are on the PC (or vice versa)
    Or is one interface easier to use than another?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    It usually boils down to personal preference.
    The software is, to all intents and purposes, the same in either operating system. There are minor differences between them, usually related to the hardware or the operating system. But if you can use the software in Windows, you'll be able to use it on a Mac too.
    It's a matter of which environment you prefer: Windows or Mac. I use both daily since the Cloud allows you to install on Windows and/or Mac.

  • Are there any browsers for Mac other than Safari and Google Chrome that are better with adobe flash for my Macbook 2009?

    On Safari Adobe Flash freezes at times on popular Flash chatroom I visit and on Google Chrome when I try to type the typing is laggy delayed. Adobe Flash needs to be fixed in Safari and possibly other Browsers, and Google Chromes html5 or whatever flash replacement their browser uses ***** on older hardware.

    Go for Safari always, you will have more advantages than any other browser. You can safely install the Adobe Flash pluguin, it will install as pref pane in your System Preferences. From there you can limit its access, block sites for storing info in your mac.
    Under the advanced tab of the Flash Player in System Preferences, check “Notify me to install updates”, so you are always up to date (feel free to check out any update directly form the Adobe website to be safe).
    Steve does't want to allow Flash for iOS due to security issues (long story). But it's OK for mac, if you keep an eye on it.
    Google's Chrome its decent, but you know, it's Google. I will prefer to take the advantage of the Apple's ecosystem, like syncing all Safari content and passwords with iCloud, to keep using it in your iOS devices. You can have an open page in your mac, and go to your iPad and continue with the same page.
    Also you can find some useful Safari extensions that will trick the websites to load an HTML5 version of the video instead of flash (like if you were on an iPad).

  • Are there any themes for my mac?

    Different icons, skins etc

    Not officially supported by Apple for anything other than folder icons. There are third-party hack applications for earlier versions of Mac OS X, but I've not seen any yet that are compatible with Lion.
    Regards.

  • HT4199 The screen is freezing when i am mirroring a video from my mac to LCD TV via Apple TV? Are there any solutions for this problem?

    Anybody can help?

    One area to troubleshoot is to check the amount of bandwidth that you have available for mirroring. Starting with your Apple TV; which generation is it? What is the make and model of your wireless router? Is the Apple TV in the same room as the router, different room, or different floor? How about your MacBook Air when you are attempting to mirror to the Apple TV?

  • Are there any apps for the macbook pro that will teach a 4 year old how to use a mac?

    I want to gove my old macbook to my daughter and get her started. does anyone know if there is an app that will walk a child through thir first mac experience and teach them how to operate it?

    This doesn't really answer your question, but children find tablets much easier to use than traditional computers. Even children much younger than your daughter are surprisingly adept with them, and they usually don't need to be taught.

  • I have an ipad 4 running ios 7 but i noticed ios 7 on my ipad seems laggy. I already did a factory reset but it seems doesn't change a bit. Are there any solution for this or I need to wait for the next ios 7 update?

    Hi Amish,

  • Do you have a problem connecting to Wi-Fi? (iMac Mid 2011 Model)Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3

    Did you just start up or restart your mac recently? If you did you might have experineced a problem with your Wi-Fi. I was unable to access anything that required Wi-Fi. So what I did was I restarted my iMac and my Wi-Fi was working again.
    What might have caused the problem
    A. The Wi-Fi chip did not start or restart (During the process of Starting or Restarting your iMac)
    B. It could be a bug in Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3 or lower.
    I hoped this helped you out

    If it was previously working then try a smc and pram reset.
    If that doesn't fix it then see if vlc can handle the video.

  • I have a Fuji X-Pro1 camera. How do I open its RAW files using Photoshop CS5. I use Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5

    I have a Fuji X-Pro1 camera. I use Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5  I have Photoshop CS5.  How do I open its RAW files?

    Since photoshop cs5 can't use past the camera raw 6.7 plugin and that camera requires at least the camera raw 7.1 plugin, you could use the 8.7.1 dng converter
    to convert the files to dng copies, which then photoshop cs5 should be able to open.

    Do I need to run and anti virus program with MAC OSX Lion? Have heard different opinions!
    You will continue to hear different opinions here, where thoughts range everywhere between "anti-virus software is the evil spawn of Satan" to "anyone not running anti-virus software is a fool."
    Truth is, this is still a very personal decision on a Mac. Depending on circumstances, it is still very easily possible to stay safe without using anti-virus software, but circumstances and personal preferences vary widely. Besides which, anti-virus software cannot even remotely provide you a guarantee of protection!
    To learn how to stay safe (with or without anti-virus software), and how to decide whether to use anti-virus software, see my Mac Malware Guide.
