I think there are two programs you can use on the MAC to run Windows programs. When you install either, what you get is a virtual copy of Windows. Once you're running that virtual copy, you should install the CE-200 software, which will run within that program. My understanding is it tends to be slow when installed that way; however, it's used to transmit designs to the machine, and once it does that, you don't need to use the software part, anyway. It will NOT slow down the machine.

There is a gotcha you need to know. I just took a look a the Parallels site, and it appears that when you install Parallels, you have your choice of running either Windows 7 or Windows 8. Those operating systems are available in 32 bit or 64 bit. If it is running the 64 bit version, you will also need to buy an upgrade to the CE-250 software, and if that's the case, you can generally find it on EBay, relatively inexpensively. I suspect, though, that it's running the 32 bit version of Windows, which will run fine.

Trying to use my futura ce-200. original software hangs on Win7 machine, updated software just says: entry point not found... the procedure entry point splash textcolor@@yaxk@z could not be located in

http://www.futura-support.com/products/ce-200/software

Make sure you downloaded the correct update. Reinstall the original software. Now right click on the program file (.exe) file in the software folder (prob on c:, folder called Futura **). Mine is different than yours...so end of file will be different, so I put ** instead). After you open the file folder...right click on the program file & choose properties; choose Compatibility; Check the run as box (mine is set to winXP 2); and check the run as administrator box.
Try opening the program...if it opens...you can then do the update install.

My Singer Futura SES 2000 wheel is locked up and ERROR E4 (Safty Device Activated) HELP !!!

This happened to me once. I know it happens for different reasons. My problem was a thread 'locked' under the bobbin carriage. I opened the machine underneath, where is only one screw and found the thread locked between two wheels. If this is not your case, maybe inside the upper case? Also try to change the needle, and make sure there is not other strange object inside the hoop arm, or the bobbin cage.

Is there software for a mac?

Most companies dont sell mac only software. You need to have a virtual desktop (emulator?) with IBM type software installed on your mac. I sold software to a mac dealer and he tore his hair out trying to install, so it may be best to take to a mac dealer and ask if it will work. it probably will but its a bunch of labour to make work. At least thats my experience.

Will Mac run Singer® Futura

The software doesn't run on MAC. And you can't get a download directly off the internet, at least not anywhere that I've found. When I couldn't find my disk a few months ago all of my research told me that I had to purchase a replacement CD from Singer.

Buy a PC, or get the program that mac has that supports pc programs. I've seen it work so I'm sure it's an optioin. Mac people don't like the program, but it will create an environment that supports PC programs.
