LYLEHM  Package installer won't install on 10.6.1 Snow Leopard. Extracted Prefpane is 32-bit and won't load in Sys Prefs after Sys Pref restart in 32-bit mode.

MACUPDATE ADMIN  Earlier today, July 17, 2008, TiVo released version 1.9.4(054). It has since been pulled by the developer with no reasons given as to why.

The previous version is now available once again.

TITANIUMGOD  I'm having the same problem. Mac OS 10.5.2 isn't working with Tivo Desktop 1.9.3. It's difficult to get the Tivo to recognize the server and if I'm lucky enough to get it to find it - it's super super slow - not usable.

BRIAN KENDIG  TiVo Desktop 1.9.3 works with Mac OS 10.5, but Mac OS 10.5.1 apparently breaks it. Since I upgraded two of my Macs to 10.5.1, my TiVo says "A problem occurred while accessing the server" whenever I try to access music or photos from either of them. Or sometimes it works extremely slowly, taking several minutes to display the next page of an album list, for example.

****.

ABATES25  I should preface this by saying that I agree with others, this is waaaaayyy late in arriving. And no, it isn't TiVoToGo. But, it is a step in the right direction, if they finally have focused on updating this to work with 10.4, it shows that development is back for the Mac.

As for this update, it works well, does what I was able to do before I upgraded months and months ago to 10.4. I missed this functionality as I often would show my iPhotos through TiVo when showing them to friends, and used to stream my iTunes using my TiVo all the time. Now I have a MacMini and an LCD TV, so I really don't need either of these features anymore, but they do work, and I am glad to finally seem some development for the Mac from the TiVo-team. TiVoToGo really, really soon - please?!

CHIEFTED  As said before a year late and a dollar short.

This "update" from the folks at Tivo only address "sharing" music and photos from your Mac to your Tivo Box.

It does nothing to address TivoToGo.

But but Tivo swears its on its way.

Pretty much given up on Tivo delivering that and have gone with Galleon, though getting the files through Galleon to burn on to a cd or to put on my iPod involves a couple of extra steps, at least its something.

WICCAN23  Useless...this has never worked, ever!

I deleted it already. Why does TIVO even bother?

BRIAN  Installer tells me that it can't be installed on my machine. I exceed all the noted spec's above:

PowerBook G4 1.0 MHz

Mac OS X 10.3.8

iTunes 4.7.1

iPhoto 4.0.3

Why can't I install?

MATHMN  I tried using Tivo Desktop version 1.9.3 on my Power PC, and it will not load. I tried it on my intel Mac in Florida and it loaded just fine. I think Tivo screwed up when it upgraded and made this work only on intel machines.
