Is Pampered Partner Compatible with Mac Computers?

[danaher3]

I am brand new to Pampered Chef (and this site - which is great!) and I am a little frustrated with the Pampered Partner software. As a teacher, we only have mac computers in our home and at work and the Pampered Partner is not compatible with them. I've been told to purchase Virtual PC software - but from what I can find it runs about $200! Way more than I can currently afford. I currently have 3 catalog shows going on and I'm leary about how I will figure up everything without Pampered Partner. Anybody else have this problem? If so, how did you resolve it? Thanks.

Not Easy with a MacUnfortunately the Pampered Partner program does not work well with the Mac. I bought the Virtual PC to start my business and then had problems with the program running really slowly and it took forever to enter show orders. I am now in SS month 3 and I gave up on the Mac a month ago and have been using my husbands PC laptop that he can bring home from work. I am getting a hand-me-down Dell from someone in my family so that I can just dedicate that computer to PC stuff.

I wouldn't waste your money on the Virtual PC - maybe you can find a used computer yourself. Good luck!

: Hey there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the Pampered Partner software. I can definitely understand your frustration, especially since you have multiple shows going on. Have you tried reaching out to Pampered Chef's customer service to see if they have any alternative solutions for Mac users? It might be worth a shot to see if they have any tips or workarounds. In the meantime, maybe you can try using a spreadsheet or another type of software to keep track of your shows until you can find a more permanent solution. Hang in there!
