L.T.G Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 I've just changed to a Mac from PC.can't find any Mac supported software for Polar, ... help?
Wyatt Earp Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 At this stage you need to run parallel software with vensters
drubin Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I am not sure if this will work on Mac but it works perfectly on Linux. Use wine http://www.winehq.org/ I found that the weblink works perfectly but the websync didn't at least for me. Give me a shout if you need a hand. If you are using websync it seems there might be an option http://www.polarusa.com/en/support/product_support?product=3130&category=FAQs&documenttitle=get&document=/gip/PKBStoGIP.nsf/c225742500419a8ac22567c400442981/c225742500419a8ac22576e7004af85e?OpenDocument
Merlin27 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Alternatively run VMware Fusion to run Windows for the windows only software VMware rocks!
L.T.G Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 thanks guys.so whatever option i choose, be it parallel, VMware Fusion or wine... i still need to get myself "vensters" (an Dangle put it )
'Dale Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I am on a Mac...And don't have Windows, hence moving to Mac, right? Polar has no software and is in a development process with Apple. This was news 6 months ago.

L.T.G Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 I still see no support for my RS 800 still won't work.it only applies to the models listed.so unless you're using windows, it's a no go now do i buy windows and parallels for almost 3K or use an old laptop just for my "polar stuff"!!??!

Velouria Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Have a look at iSmartTrain - a bit of a schlep, but less than the other options. http://www.ismarttrain.com/

Install wine for mac then install the windows.exe on your mac machine it should work as well, Edited January 31, 2011 by drubin
