Since the August 22 release of Mac OS X 10.10.5, Toast 14 will not burn discs. I have a stack of coasters (blu ray discs are not cheap) that are unwatchable. Even standard DVDs burn as unwatchable, the picture freezing and jerking. Spent two days with Toast tech support and they could not solve the problem, just said to wait for an update to make the program work with Apple. I use this program to burn DVDs for my work.

I have been trying for six months to burn Blu-ray DVDs with the most recent version of Toast. My current burn has taken three days, I have had to start over 3 times because it stops encoding. I am running the newest version of Toast on a brand new iMac, so there is no problem with lack of memory or processing speed. The Toast program is just junk.
UPDATE: I recently had to make CD copies of a private music performance.

I was disappointed to learn that iBank is not supported by one of the largest banks in the U.S., JPMorgan Chase, and you cannot do direct downloads without paying a monthly fee to the bank. You can only download monthly statements. If you monitor your banking activity on a weekly or greater basis, this is a real pain.

I have used TurboTax for 10 years and would not consider filing a return without it. It makes an unpleasant but necessary job tolerable,

I’ve used this product for several years for a trust tax return. It is easy to use and does a good job. I have two complaints though:nn1. It is expensive if you only want to do a trust return, as I do. I wish Intuit put the trust return processing on the less expensive Turbotax Home and Business.
2. This year, when I selected update to get the latest version after downloading the base version, I got a working window saying that the update would be complete in 3 minutes.

I wondered if TT Deluxe 2015 would do what it did pre-2014, as Intuit promised. Specifically, would it handle rentals. I am pleased to say that it does. Thanks, Intuit, for correcting a marketing blunder.

I have been using TurboTax since 2000 to do my federal and state income taxes. It is an easy, relatively fast, and accurate method to get them done.

I have been using this version of TurboTax for four years to file a return for my irrevocable trust (created from a living trust when my wife died). It does the job with ease. Unfortunately the product mainly covers business returns which makes it expensive, Still, I consider it worthwhile for my trust return.

Yeah I know, this is an old version of the software from back in 2010. I purchased this to install on a Windows 7 computer from that same year. I figured that this older version of VideoStudio would work better and have less conflicts than if I bought the latest and greatest made for Windows 10. Anyway, all I plan on using this for is to make some video slideshows of pictures - so even this old package is a bit of overkill for doing that.

For the price this is a pretty decent language program, but it’s pretty basic. To break it down, you get several items in this set. First there is the pocket guide, which in my opinion isn’t really sized for a pocket. It’s a 7 x 20 piece of cardboard that is folded so that it’s 7 x 5 when closed. There are six-pages of words & phrases printed a bit too small for my eyes (about 5pt).
