I just went completely “Apple” with a Mac Book Pro 15” 2.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM. Sweet beasty even if it cost me an arm and a leg, worth it. Anyway, it runs Lion 10.7, and I can’t run Bryce, aaagh!! But it does run “Studio 4” perfectly I was wondering if anyone can tell me how it’s going to take to fix Bryce for Lion 10.7…;)

you could run snow leopard till bryce fixes lion issues, its not ideal i know

Running Snow Leopard on the newest Mac’s is not optimal and doesn’t have drivers for some of the new hardware.
So not sure that is the answer.

A friend of mine sent Bryce 7 to a bootcamp when it wouldn’t behave on her Mac under Lion.

The newest Macs will NOT run Snow Leopard. Boot camp is the best sollution it seems. Trouble is that you need a licence for Windows, wich makes it more expencive.

This is exactly why I’ll never own a Mac or run Linux.

Your vague exactness and preference of 12-year old systems over modern advancements is exactly why neither Mac nor Linux communities want you >:)

Parallels 7 is another solution.  It allows you to run Lion and Windows (and Linux) on your Mac desktop.  It does require you to obtain a Windows license however which adds to the cost.

I am forced to run a lot of Windows software at home for my job which is why I went this way,

Please, we do all Know that Mac Users have problems using Bryce 7 on the latest OS X.

Can you please keep this thread clear of any Mac versus PC type arguments.

Thankyou

I did try running Bryce under XP using VMware. Got no where, everything else ran like a dream, just not Bryce. So I’ll try bootcamp sometime on the weekend. I used to play round with IBM “OS 2 Warp 4” so I’m used to doing things a little different. I’ll keep you guys posted as to my success…;)

Please try to keep things on target. I for one would REALLY want to hear other peoples experience on this forum with Bootcamp , Windows and Bryce. I think I have an old copy of XP somewhere and since Bryce isn’t 32 bit I really shouldnt have to run 64 bit Wndows so XP should be fine. @Mjhatc: Looking forward to hearing your result with XP and Bootcamp.

Any of you know when Bryce will work in Lion? Last time i tried using Bootcamp it didn’t actually work and I don’t want to try it again even in the new Mac Book Pro… I think I’ll never get used to Windows…

We don’t have a time scale. We do keep giving them a little poke every now and then.

I have successfully used bootcamp with win7 x86 and x64 on snow leopard, works very well indeed, have also used win xp x86 with good results, I won’t be ‘upgrading’ my mac to Lion or Mountain Lion until Bryce is upgraded.
