There are some virtual programs to use. More than likely, like my machine, it's window based so it won't tale to your apple. My son downloaded bootcamp to my MacBook Pro and it works like a champ. I have half apple and half windows for my embroidery machine. There is a janome 12000 group where Jim stutsman talks about how to use your apple with your embroidery machine. The directions aren't just for janome. Very informative.
