READ REVIEWS CAREFULLY, MANY of these reviewers are different users leaving the SAME, EXACT reviews.

Note that this comment was made when there was an 'epidemic' of bot accounts being created, leaving fake good reviews and ratings on many MU pages. They've since been removed.

According to the developer they will not offer that feature for Lion users. Frustrating no?

I use Digital Optical out for Surround Sound from my MacPro. What I did was select Built-In from Sound Preferences, Mute it, then re-select my Digital Optical output. Silent startup!

I would like to see a feature that will improve the terrible font colors in Time Machine.

Dark purple on black doesn't work for me.

Have you even opened this app before? There are far more tweaks in here than either of those apps.

@xXAkumuXx: Have you even opened the terminal before? There are far more tweaks in here than either of those apps. You just need to enter a command-line et voilà! But maybe it's too complicated…

You can press ⌥⌘Q to quit the app and discard all the windows. Or go to System Preferences > General and uncheck the "restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" option.

As far as I can tell, MacPilot does not work with Safari 5.1 (7534.48.3) on Lion GM in that it does not suppress the site icons, for example.
We need an update compatible with Lion ASAP!!

Just gets better and better…

And the ability to easily turn on DNS Prefetching has made a noticeable (huge) improvement in Safari's page rendering speed.

A great product with world-class support. Bravo!

George Baron had trouble on 28 Apr 2010
I updated my Pilot to 4.0 and now did this update. Now when I do a "Perform a rebuild the Locate Database", I get a separate window telling me "Rebuilding the Launch Database requires elevated permissions. Terminal will be launched after this message is dismissed and may prompt for administrative password. Input it and hit enter." BTW I am the administrator and my permissions show they are OK for this Pilot. I have never had this happen with Mac Pilot before. In addition, when the terminal window does launch it does not let me enter my admin password. Any answers? iMac 6,1, Intel Core 2 duo OS 10.6.3 (intel).

One feature claimed to work for Safari DOES NOT work. Try "Use circular progress indicator." Even after relaunching Safari, the progress indicator stays the same as default 'bar.'

Please read the help tag that goes along with that feature. It only works in Safari 3.0, not 3.1 or anything below 3.0. Apple has removed it.
