Hello Everyone,
I am a brand new consultant-just signed up last Friday. I am very excited to get started but first I have a question with regards to the Pmpered partner cd. Can it be downloaded on to a new I-Mac Computer? Thanks, Julia

Ginger:cool:
 
I'm not sure, but I would call HO at 888-OUR-CHEF (888-687-2433) and choose Pampered Partner help. They would know and could help you install it step-by-step if necessary!Welcome aboard!
 
When you go into the guest order page beside where you type in their names, there is a box that you check for co-host. Hope that helps
:)

Thanks so much, ladies for your help. Looking forward to talking to everyone on the message board. Thanks again, Julia
 
If you find out that you can from HO, will you please post? We have an I-Mac too, but the CD said it was for Windows so I put the program on my PC instead. Thanks!
 
From what I've heard, it won't work on a Mac. I have 2 recruits with one and they both had to use their other computers for PP.

I've heard there is some kind of patch that you can buy--but not sure if it works or not.

sorry

Hi Ladies,
Well, here is the response that I received from Pampered Chef with regards to using a Mac :
Dear Julia,Thank you for contacting The Pampered Chef. You must first install a Windows
simulation program such as Virtual PC to be able to install and use Pampered
Partner on a Macintosh computer.Anthony Boroczk

Update 2 :
I just talked to Apple and they said, if you have an older Mac computer you will have to install and run Virtual PC 7 but if you have a new Mac with the new Intel chip that you have to download a program called Boot Camp Public Beta which allows you to install Windows XP. You have to have the Windows XP cd or progam in order to download it on to your Mac.
