The issue sadly is freakin win8 I refuse to use it. My wife purchased a new laptop, took it back after 3 days and demanded they down
graded it to Win7!

There is a legal clause in all licensed software that if you buy a later version they must for free supply you with the older on request.

I love windows 8.

There will always be one in the crowd somewhere

I did a lot of googling when my wife was throwing her knickers around with stress from win8, microsoft has lost millions in revenue since launch, its been the biggest driving force to Apple.

I love my Mitras and all my ghl products but you need to see the areas that need to be fixed. This is one. No win8 support or mac support is terrible. And saying use a vm on the Mac instead of "It's something we are looking into" is very frustrating.

I assume by YOU you refer to GHL, well I hope so

This is something that has been covered in the support forum. To develop Mac software would cost in excess of $50,000, would GHL get $50,000 of sales for this development when VM works just as well and costs nothing? The answer is of course not. Mac still remains the underdog of global user base, whether that changes of course time will tell.

Windows 8 is the bug bare of many software company not just GHL, its an uphill battle, GHL do not hold the magic wand to the cures of the issues that come with Win 8, its known to be an issue with all sorts of softwares, so sadly GHL are in the same boat as many others with this issue.

I would love to give you a more positive answer, but GHL cant spend out $50,000 on something like that (You dont see Ecotech with Mac support) and we have to wait I guess for Microsoft to wake up and smell the roses.

I did mean ghl sorry, I do tend to put you and them together but it's not fair and I apologize for that. I do understand the costs involved and the bugs with the latest operating systems. I guess I would just love to hear from ghl that they see there is a problem and are working towards a fix.

[Aqua-Digital]

The bugs are not with GHL but with Microsoft Win8 so it is a bit hard for them to resolve it, however they have done their best to post various work arounds and if you go on the support forum they will try and help you as best as possible.

someone posted something about using USB 3.0 maybe have a look into that?

[reeferfulton]

Ya. I understand windows 8 is possibly the problem. But why does ever y other use device I put in there work?


Either way. My wife has an Air book.. what is the vm thing you guys speak of. I would be happy if one of the 2 house laptops could hook to the Mitras one way or another lol
