The best Apple related Hardware resource Database!

Excellent App as advisory help when buying (or upgrading) any older Mac. Invaluable when comparing models.

must have for every Pro in Apple land.

What do you expect. Think about how large the database is. Mactracker goes way back before OSX. The data base is huge in what it holds on the Mac. It is just a pity that they took out the start-up chimes and death-chimes for the older Mac models. End of Line...

I expect better performance. There's ways to use databases intelligently where you don't load up the entire database all at once while launching the app.

If every app ran this way, it would take 5-10 minutes to load up iTunes with the massive size of my library.

It's just constructive criticism of (as I already said) an otherwise great app.

As asset manager for a large number of computers, I think that MacTracker is one of the essential software. Great interface and updated regulary.

This is an invaluable asset. I use it regularly and have taken to storing all the Macs I help with in it's database. It allows me to easily help folks know if they are in or out of warranty. Great program for comparing feature sets of the hardware released by Apple.

Thank you for keeping this up to date.

Anyone:
The release notes for 6.0.1 says "Adds the ability to create a new "My Models" entry from an info window". How exactly do you do that? I've poked around and don't see a way. What I'm assuming this means is if I find the model I want under the Categories list directly on the left, there would be way once I select it add it to My Models without having to to first do File/New My Model and then search AGAIN for the model I already searched for in the Categories list.

Appreciate if someone has figured this out and could pass it on.

Apple takes up to 2 weeks to review an update so this is normal. If you want to have updates right when they are released you need to get Apps directly from the developer's website.

nevermind, just found it. You have to click on the process specs to see them. Wish they would put back the button. It was much more user friendly.

Aargl had trouble on 18 Jan 2012
Crashes when info window was open on last quit (can't succeed in bringing it back).
Solution: fast close the info window on launch, quit and start again.
N.B.: no problem with former versions (actually there xas some glitch but no crash)
Here: iMac g5 PPC/10.5.8

I tried it this morning two times and it did not quit, it stayed open. Maybe it had something to do with Lion.

I use it on Leopard.

I could restore it to normal after deleting all related user Library files.

The Mac Doc had trouble on 14 Nov 2009
There is a crash which occurs in the latest version (5.0.11) which I can consistently reproduce. To my knowledge this only occurs under Snow Leopard (10.6.2). It does not occur on any of my Macs running Tiger (10.4.11).

The crash happens under ‘My Models' when adding the Contact from the Address Panel. I have confirmed the crash on both a 1st generation Macbook as well as an Early 2009 Mac Mini, both of which run 10.6.2. However, it works just fine on a Dual 2.7GHz G5, so perhaps this is an Intel-only issue?

I absolutely adore Mactracker and have used it for years, which is why I am bringing this to everyone's attention. I'm sure the developer will squash this in no time.

I was just wondering if anyone else can reproduce this crash.
