    Shared folders are dog slow under 3.0?

    I have my Quicken 2005 datafiles on a shared folder so I can more easily back them up from the Mac side. Under 2.5 Quicken ran about as fast as it does on my Windows machine. Now that I have upgraded to 3.0, Quicken crawls along like a snail. When it is drawing my checkbook register, I can...

    Palm syncing Try this message for a way to get Palm syncing working. It's a little finicky (I sometimes have to go through the process two or three times) but it works. I'm syncing my Treo 650 over USB as I type this.

    Palm (Treo 650) sync USB + Bluetooth

    SerialClient is working great for me too. Dog slow but much better than no hotsync at all. I am now camping happily. bombastinator: Try right-clicking on the download link and selecting "Save Link As..." It's a disk image file.

    Treo sync still broken Phooey, I was hoping this USB-fix-heavy release would do the trick, but no luck. When I hit the hotsync button on the Treo connector, XP sees the device (I hear the "new device" sound effect) but the hotsync manager doesn't fire up. Works fine in build 1970. This is on a...

    Parallels Desktop for Mac build 3106 Beta 3 is available for download.

    Parallels Tools auto-upgrade failed I installed the new beta and booted XP; it offered to upgrade Parallels Tools, and I clicked OK. In the middle of the upgrade, Parallels crashed. However, when I rebooted XP again and clicked Cancel on the upgrade dialog, I was able to manually uninstall...

    Parallels Desktop for Mac build 3094 Beta 2 is available for download.

    Got Coherence working, sort of I just discovered that if I move the Parallels window to my MBP's built-in screen then enter Coherence mode, it works fine. If the window is on the second monitor, then entering Coherence mode makes the main monitor go partially black and the Parallels window...

    Didn't make any difference -- did exactly as described and Coherence mode still gives me a big black area on my main screen (the bottom of which is at the same vertical position as the bottom of my second screen) and no Windows apps in sight.

    Parallels Desktop for Mac build 3094 Beta 2 is available for download.

    Not such a great upgrade for me I replaced the previous beta with this one. I can confirm two issues that others have reported: Hotsync with Palm Treo 650 is not working. Windows detects the USB device (I hear the new-device sound effect) but the Hotsync Manager doesn't fire up. This didn't...

    Palm sync not working Syncing my Treo 650 over USB works fine under the official release, but not with the new beta. I hit the sync button and hear the Windows "bu-deep" sound, so I know Windows is noticing the new USB device, but the Palm hotsync manager app never fires up. Other than that...

    Fix for stretched fonts on Cinema Display For those who are having trouble with stretched windows, try the above. On the 30" display, you have to set the color depth to 16 bits; once you do, your Windows windows will look normal in Coherence mode instead of all stretched out. You don't need to...
