VR streams on a mac?

2010-06-05 Thread Olivia Norman
Hi Everyone, I'm in training at GDB in San Rafael, CA. They offer us a great deal on streams, so I've decided to take the leap and buy one at the discounted price. How will the stream and mac interact? Is there anything special I need to know before I buy one? Thanks, Olivia Innovation

You should use a card reader to transfer files to the SD card, it is much faster than using the VR stream. There is no stream companem software for the Mac. On Jun 5, 2010, at 1:08 PM, Olivia Norman wrote: Hi Everyone, I'm in training at GDB in San Rafael, CA. They offer us a great deal

The stream works great. The only thing you'll need is the new softpack add on to listen to books from Audible or music from ITunes. The new additional software interacts with ITunes now and that makes everything accessible. Good luck and enjoy your stream... Kev On Jun 5, 2010, at 4:08 PM,

Hi Kev, I was just curious about something you said in an earlier post. You said the stream works with audible. It does? Do I have to pay for the additional software to use it? I tried to paste a book Storm Prey by John Sanford downloaded from Audible with Itunes on to my stream. The stream

I skimmed the release notes for the VR Stream soft pack. My understanding is that it enables users to play unprotected iTunes and EPUB files. I don't think I read that it works with iTunes directly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries

My understanding of the soft pack sis that you'll pay the extra $49. You can do this online or call Humanware to place your order. Then Humanware will e-mail you like a User Authorization Key type thing that you'll install onto your stream. i believe this sort of unlocks those extra features

As long as you know how to copy and paste, and I'm sure you do, you will have no problems at all. There is a companion software application that runs on windows, but I'm not sure if there is a Mac version. If your Macbook has a card reader on it, you can just take the SD card out of the VRS
