I had all of my computer work done at a Mac approved shop/dealer. I did nothing myself. Sorry I can't help you.

Not sure if your Mac is a windows system. If you use MSWORD MS Excel then it might be.

No MAC code settings afaik but you can create users, groups and passwords and give them each different access rights. As far as having to log in only once per day I'm not sure how often you would have to log in as windows can retain login details for you.

Some of the specialized keys don't work on the Mac (like the Calculator key or the Menu key), because Microsoft doesn't offer custom Mac drivers. But for normal use it's just fine, and I don't miss those keys at all.

I don't know about a mac. It is a Microsoft product you might be able to find out from the Microsoft site.

The machine is old, but if your MacBook runs Word, then you can probably transfer the document to it. I have always been a PC user and that is what is used in my district.

Yes to both questions (we are using a newer mac - just to put that out there)

I use MS Win and I haven't had any compatibility problem. I don't know about Mac. Perhaps you may need to install the right software or change your accessibility options in your programs. Check with those using mac.

Make sure your computer can process the data. I bought a new macbook just for it. And if u want to contact akai? Better have plenty of anytime minutes.

I have not tried a Mac and do not use this system for attendance, only access!

Yes. I was able to transfer all of my documents automatically and edit and see them on the MAC. Word, excel, etc.

This is a feature I really need, conflicting answers on the same day...I've looked through the online documentation and don't see the MAC address on any configuration screen.Is there a tie breaking vote from an actual owner?

Once you purchase the software you can load it on all your computers. MS Works is great software, especially if you do a lot of data base work. A lot easier than MS Access.

I, too, have a Mac and a Windows. I've ended up having separate hard drives for each. Most of my data--years and years of documents and images--are on my Windows computer. I got the Mac because I needed a laptop and didn't want to get Vista. My experience is that I can plug the Windows hard drive to the Mac and it will recognize and read just about everything. The PC, on the other hand, will not recognize the drive from the Mac (at best) or will have a blue-screen tantrum (at worst--so far).

Thanks, you've been very helpful. I will take a chance and give it as a gift to the Mac user with your notes.
