I have an IMAC laptop computer. I have a SE270D embroidery machine. How do download the designs? What software/hardware do I need? Pleeease help - I'm soooooo frustrated. Thank you.
Crisha, to use downloaded designs you need a device to transfer designs to a readalbe design card. There are several such items that can be used but I only have experinece with the Brothers PE Basic which allows you to download designs from the internet or other design cards onto your computer then transfer them to the design card that comes with the PE Basic device. Check Ebay or Amazon.com for the different Brands of design readers.

Hello Maria
The Premier Embroidery System software is compatible with all sewing machine brands.
Once an embroidery design whether created or downloaded can be saved in various embroidery formats. You can save the design as .jef and use it in your Janome embroidery sewing machine. If the same design is saved in other formats, it can be used in other sewing machine brands.
The Premier Embroidery Software is amazing.
Please let me know if this is helpful.
Happy stitching

In order to 'see' the .pes files you have to have some software to read it like embird or embrillance. Embird is $164 but has some neat features such as being able to change colors and convert from one type embroidery files to another. You can just transfer them to the USB drive by: Plug in your drive, copying them, eject the usb drive, and then plug it into the machine. The machine will read it without you having a program that can read machine formats.
If the designs are already on a formatted* flash drive and in the format of the embroidery machine and the embroidery machine has an USB Port-A receptacle, you just plug it into the machine.
Create a folder on the PC's hard drive and name it Embroidery Downloads and copy or send from the flash drive you now have. Keep the flash drive as a backup.
After you format the new flash drive, you can then copy as needed from the Embroidery Downloads folder. Just do a couple.
there is an update for windows 7 and dongles at the husqvarna viking website.
From Husqvarna Viking website -
When installing the 4D Embroidery System onto Windows 7 computers, the dongle drivers may not initially work correctly, as the 4D Embroidery System installs a set of dongle drivers which were created before Windows 7.
Download and install the latest dongle drivers prior to installing the 4D Embroidery System. Failure to do this, may result in the "Dongle driver not found (E0009)" when you try to open the 4D modules.
Please follow the steps below to install the latest dongle drivers BEFORE installing the 4D Embroidery System
Install your 4D Embroidery System software (and all updates).
Open your 4D Embroidery System software to confirm that your dongle is working correctly.
If you installed the 4D Embroidery System software before installing the latest dongle drivers and if you experience problems such as the error message "Unable to start hasplms service..."; download and install the latest Dongle Drivers.
If you are still unable to get it to work, visit your local authorized Husqvarna Viking dealer. Most stores have staff who are eager to help but you might want to call for an appointment

If your using Windows Vista, you have to have the multi user account in the off postioin. Also if you had 3D embroidery software and you upgraded to 4D software you have to be sure to uninstall the 32 bit drivers from the 3d for the 4d to work properly.
You do have to install the communication software that came with the diamond also. It won't communicate through the 3d or 4d only.
If not a USB model, you have to get the disgustingly expensive Babylock palette box ($500) and software with the blank card to transfer the designs from cd or files. Beware of making the embroidery too small, it can make the stitch density too great and then the machine cannot sew the design. There is software called Density Works to deal with this problem.
