99mtamchamp Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I was wondering if anyone uses ATX software running on an Apple computer. I know you can run Windows on an Apple so I was wondering if anyone has tried this and if it works OK. Any input would be appreciated. . .thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kea Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I know there are a couple of people who use Macs for their tax prep software on this board. I've only done a little. I use a Mac for my main "personal" computer and a PC for my "work" computer. During the off-season, my PC spends a lot of time in the safe. I recently took a trip where it was more convenient to only take one computer. I have Parallels on my MacBook and loaded 2008 & 2009 ATX on it. When I used it, it was extremely slow. For example, when I realized I hadn't "printed" (to .pdf) part of a file I needed -- I rebooted Parallels & started ATX, opened file, and re-"printed," closed ATX & Parallels. All that took just under an hour. When I got home I bought 8 Gig of Ram for the Mac (found a good sale) and now that same process only takes under 10 minutes. I hope you get responses from the ones who use ATX on Macs regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLMAS Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I've been using an iMac running windows via bootcamp since 2008, all windows based software that I have installed (ATX 2006 - 2010), Quickbooks 2005-2011 and Quicken have worked fine, however you are not safe from virus on the window side. Send me a PM if you have specific questions or need help setting it up. MAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
