Is there a particular place to put the Finale load file rather than launch from the download file location?   Hi Pyro_Gweedo, it sounds like you may be missing some Windows components that Finale 3D requires. If you can provide screenshots of the specific errors you're seeing, we should be able to give you step by step instructions to resolve the issue.

Hi Pyro_Gweedo,   you cyn download Finale also via Mac. There is a shared folder for downloads that is accessable from Mac and windows. I do it always thsi way and never had an issue.   Dirk

Hi PyroScott,   Bootcamp is a very good option for Itel based macs. But since Apple switched to the ARM silicion with the M series processors on this computer Parallels (or other virtual machines like VMWare) is the only option. Depending on the price i will buy an M4 next week and will make a video abou a speed comparision about M1 Pro and M4 (pro) running with Finale on Parallels.   Dirk

Good evening. I currently have  a 2017 MB pro that I run Finale 3D on.  When I was deciding on using a virtual machine program to run the Windows program on I was given a little bit of advice.  Since Finale 3D using a lot of processing power from the computer it was better to run Bootcamp on the laptop. That is an apple program that you partition your hard drive and then it runs windows on your same hard drive.  When using Bootcamp you get all of the performance of the Mac computer.  When on a VM you are using a lot of the computers processing power on that. I hope that helps.

with HH:MM:SS:FF format is more easy to calculate timing
