My boyfriend has a Macbook pro 17inch and I just got mine Mac Book Pro 15inch. I absolutely love it. Haven't down loaded PP yet. I have that on my work computer and just input everything when I get them. I am leary about bringing my mac to shows. I don't want it scratched or ruined. I am very protective over it...LOL. Love it though. Takes some time to get use to the features, but once you do, no turning back. I got a macbook pro for dummies and I learned so many little things that helped me out alot. Love it.
 
Thanks everyone. I have been leaning towards a mac for a while, and after getting this last virus, (even with up to date virus protection) I think I am sold. Thanks again.
 
ChefAnn-
What's the e-mail for Tech Support so we can thank them?
I too was jumping up and down when I found out - I even called my mom, sister and a few friends to tell them the good news (like they cared). None of my PC friends up here are Mac users. My husband, surprisingly, thought it was pretty cool (this is surprising because he could care less about Pampered Chef - almost typed PC there, but that would be confusing on this thread). He's a massive Mac guy and has converted my entire family, his entire family, and his office. He should definitely get some commission from Apple :)
That would definitely be awesome if they got the tasks to sync with iCal and in turn with our iPhones...but hey, we can dream!
 
Okay - totally forgot to mention a problem I'm having - when I try to sync with my PWS, it gets to the sync shows section and gets an error. If I click Finish, it all shows up, but I keep getting that error message that says I need to restart and try again. Weird.

Some other people were having problems syncing shows with PWS and apparently Tech is aware of the problem. There will be an update in January that will fix it. I don't recall the email address for Tech Support - it's on CC with the other "Contact HO" addresses.
 
Okay, I was having problems with my Vista Laptop today ---which I purchased specifically for P3 because I am a diehard mac fan --- and imagine my excitement when I saw this thread!

Thanks for the heads up everyone! I've been in school for the last 15 months and am rededicating myself to my PC business in January and having P3 on my mac is going to be a GREAT way to do it!!!

I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!
 
I've had serious issues with trying to install P3 on my mac. It all was downloaded but I cant open the program. When opening a message pops up that reads the following:

A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run PamperedPartnerPlus.

No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations:
/Systems/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.frameworks/Versions/1.5.0/Commands/java

I got on Mac site and downloaded the Java software that PP3 requires and its on the desktop but it wont let me place it in these action folders.

I NEED HELP, THIS IS MY ONLY COMPUTER AND I HAVE STOPPED BUSINESS LAST COUPLE MONTHS DUE TO COMPUTER ISSUES AND FAIRLY NEW TO THIS, BUT I REALLY NEED THIS DILEMNA SOLVED. I GOTTA START BOOKING SHOWS AND HAVE WAYS TO TURN EM IN!:cry:

Please any suggestions greatly appreciated!:D
