Since installing Speed Up Mac, Office Mac 2011 does not run. A library file has been deleted and I cannot get this back.

Comment on Parallels For Mac by TIM

I run Parallels on my iMac and VMware fusion on my Macbook Pro. Both work really well. I love coherence mode and use it all the time.

My use of windows on my Mac is solely to Run MetaTrader and some other Trading software. I can have live charts running in windows in the background (full Screen) while I work on the Mac desktop for other business. It all works brilliantly, or did until I updated to Lion, then everything started to have problems. I then updated my Virtual Machines to the latest releases from Parallels and VMware, most the problems then disappeared, but the system memory was all getting used up, The iMac was running very slow, so I upgraded the RAM to 8GB, and now everything is working beautifully again.

Vmware and Parallels both work very well and worth the investment, In full screen mode everything works just like being on a PC.. or you can use Coherence mode and you can pop up windows applications whenever you want, to work alongside you mac application. It could’t be easier. You just need an intel Mac and I would recommend more than 4GB of RAM, but I stream a lot of live data while I have Windows and Mac applications running.

Also, I’m running Windows 7 on a Core i5 iMac and XP professional on the first Intel Macbook pro, 2.6GHz.

I would never go back to a PC, the Mac just does everything so well. Even windows seems to run better than it ever did on a PC.

Snoops: I tested this on my version and it works with Quicktime. I converted a movie I have to AVI. I had no problem ripping to 16:9 widescreen. I suggest you contact their help department if you are still having issues. Not sure about VLC though.

Phil: Sorry for the very late reply, only just noticed your comment. The company still offer free upgrades for life for copies that have been purchased (the free offers don’t come with this). Contact their support department to find out why you are being charged.

Robertito: They regularly have a free copy of the full version as giveaways especially around the holiday periods including Halloween. The free version although limited in its output options still works fine and can be found at http://www.macxdvd.com/dvd-ripper-mac-free/

Alvin,

Sofos Antivirus is hands down the best antivirus package for the Mac; and it’s free! Below is an excerpt from my book “The PC Power Pack – Seven free and powerful tools to speed up your Windows and Macintosh computer.”

“If you prefer not to spend $9.99 then I would recommend Sophos antivirus, which is what I consider the best antivirus software available for the Macintosh. Sophos is a Network security firm in the UK that specializes in enterprise solutions and distributes a free home version of their antivirus software for the Macintosh. The Sophos app combines simplicity with power and true real-time scanning, just like the antivirus software on Windows computers. Because the folks at Sophos specialize in corporate network security it’s also more likely that they will quickly respond to new threats and keep their definitions up do date.”

Parallels 6 sucks! The coherence feature (even when not used) is intrusive and slows both the emulator and Mac to a crawl. They have also decided to mix pop-up window spam every time you launch the emulator. Gee, this is something I’d expect from free software not a product that I paid in excess of $100 to use.

Registered user of this program, and just got an upgrade notice for version 3.0, requiring a payment of $6.95. What happened to the “free upgrades for life” policy?
