Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy on a Mac Using Parallels
Karen: The problem you are having is you are sharing folders between the Mac and Windows. I would recommend you turn off that feature in Parallels and keep the Windows & Mac filing systems separate. It really becomes an issue for Legacy to find the pictures on the Mac side if you share the filing systems. Once you have done that, then: you would copy the pictures to the C:\user\My Documents\Legacy\Media\ folder. Then, attach the pictures from that Windows 7 folder which Legacy expects to find its pictures. I use DropBox on both the Mac & Windows side which allows you to place the picture files in a DropBox folder and then they are available on both the Mac and Windows side. Again, the secret is to turn off File Sharing in Parallels between the Mac & Windows VM. Good luck. ___ Leon Chapman chap...@gmail.com - On Sat, Apr 11, 2015 at 2:38 PM, Karen Howard wrote: > > I have a Mac computer, OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1, Legacy update > 8.0.0.473, Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac, Version 10.1.4 (28883), and > Windows 7. > > I would like to know how to put documents and photos from my Mac side into > Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy on a Mac Using Parallels
I am a rank rookie Legacy user and have pretty much the same setup you have. I played with mine and assigned a photo to my father that was in my Mac home directory. The photo showed OK. I closed Legacy and re-opened. The photo was there as I left it. I haven’t tried attaching any documents. > On Apr 11, 2015, at 3:38 PM, Karen Howard wrote: > > > I have a Mac computer, OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1, Legacy update > 8.0.0.473, Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac, Version 10.1.4 (28883), and Windows > 7. > > I would like to know how to put documents and photos from my Mac side into > Legacy.

[LegacyUG] Legacy on a Mac Using Parallels
I have a Mac computer, OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1, Legacy update 8.0.0.473, Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac, Version 10.1.4 (28883), and Windows 7. I would like to know how to put documents and photos from my Mac side into Legacy. Whenever I’ve entered documents and photos, they show up in Legacy. However, the next time I open Legacy my work has disappeared. Even photos I use as the primary photo for the Family Page disappear. I’ve been really frustrated and need help. What’s worked for you? Any suggestions?
