Using Macs with the New pp3: Experiences & Browser Info

[jenniferknapp]

Has anyone used the new PP3 to submit shows with their Mac?? I haven't gotten my changeover kit, so I haven't been able to play with it yet. If so, what browsers worked...FireFox, Safari?

I want my next computer to be a mac, so I'm wondering this too!

Most Macs are now Intel-based, so you can run Bootcamp or Paralells to run Windows...and use PP that way, but I want to use PP on my older, non-intel based Mac

True. I'm going to pick up one of those programs when I DO get my mac... there are a few Windows things (very few) that I'll miss.I really, really hope it works for you.

I will try it out tomorrow when I get it....sine FedEx doesn't deliver on Monday's, and he/she didn't leave it yesterday while I was gone

I don't think that you'll be able to easily install the program on a Mac, because the installer is an .exe. And if the program hasn't been approved for Macs, there's no reason for HO to make a Mac-compatible installer.

I haven't done anything with P3 yet, becaue my changeover box was just delivered this morning, and I won't have time to play with it tonight. (I'm at work now.)

hmm, bummer. I was thinking that we wouldn't have to install something if it is browser-based. (and I don't know, because I haven't gotten mine either!)

They're all online at apple.com. One of my favorites is the one when they're in boxes because they've just been delivered, and PC says that part of him is in another box. And one of the more recent set with an IT guy taping a camera to the top of PC's head.
