CRWRIGHT  Remote is nice enough. Macros work sometimes - with lots of effort to set them up. I've resorted to just using it as a very flexible multi-brand learning remote... as usually the macros get confused by some component that either missed a command or was on when it was expected to be off... or the like.

The software is only eclipsed by some of HP's worst printer drivers in "Windows bodge comes to the Macintosh". The good news is that it's just as terrible on a PC (I've tried it in parallels under Win2k). The user interface was written by someone whose idea of slick and well laid out was Windows 3.x. There are radio buttons with "Next" buttons at the bottom (frequently below the bottom of the window). There is an unscalable Wintel window inside of a resizable Mac window. The unscalable window is not large enough for most of the screens once you add any devices... so you have to scroll within a scrolling window to find your "Next" button. No default button, so you must ALWAYS click. No default radio buttons, so you must always choose one (even if the choice is obvious).

Dreadful, embarrassing, convoluted, inconvenient, ill-conceived and ill-executed piece of rubbish, this software. I think that pretty much covers it. But if you've used their mouse drivers before you're probably used to that.

Still and all - I like the remote; but I could write a better interface in AppleScript if I had the APIs for the stupid remote.

CMIYC  The software is remotely functional.

The step-by-step-next-button-on-the-other-side-of-the-screen method is okay for the first time you setup the remote. However when something isn't setup right it is utterly PAINFUL to make adjustments.

Also, why do I need to enter a login and password for a piece of software on my computer?!? (To others, yes I know the answer. I'm a little annoyed that with each software update I have to remember what it was.)

I guess since there isn't an alternative you have to this software. I doubt anyone from Logitech reads MacUpdate. If you do, please add an advanced functionality that lets me make changes directly.

FILCHESCAT  true to their word, Logitech fixed their 7.5.0 release of Harmony software, apparently w/o changing the version number of the app; the single button press = multiple transmission of commands problem has been fixed in a release that appeared sometime on Monday 8/11/08. They admit their goof - good for them. There was no overt announcement, though, to log in and update - just a notice on the app if you took the initiative. I updated the firmware again as well, but there is no indication that this was necessary

FILCHESCAT  Logitech confirmed via call to customer support that 7.5 is flawed - used on a Harmony 1000 with DirecTV it sends two pulses for each button push. I was informed Sat 8/9/08 that 'engineers' were working on it and reverting to a previous version would not help - probably because of the firmware update that accompanies the application

SANJAY MEHTA  7.5 runs a little faster than the previous versions. Fixes the filesystem issues.

One annoying problem showed up though; text entry into form doesn't always work.

Restarting the program seems to fix it and a quick look at the Logitech support forum shows that this is an old problem which affected some users earlier as well.

The GUI is unchanged and as annoying as it was earlier.  
(Version 7.5)

SHOCK J  The version has radically increased the sensitivtiy of the button presses on my remote. The repeat pref are already set to 1. Reducing the repeat pref to 0 make button presses completely unpredictable and/or unresponsive. So my choice is now no press or too many presses. Lame. I need to go back to the previous version.

MAC808  Version 7.5 is finally able to update my Harmony Remote Model 659 under OS X 10.5.4 on an Intel Mac mini Core 2 Duo. The previous version (7.4.3) was inconsistent at best, losing connection to Logitech's server and requiring work-arounds like changing Javascript versions & resetting the network switch that only worked sometimes.

Along reducing the sprawl of files its Installer littered across the hard drive, the new version responds more quickly when moving from one screen to the next. In my limited testing, this version of Harmony Remote finally appears solid and usable. I'm disappointed that Logitech took so long to release a stable version, but relieved to be able to reprogram my remote at last.  
(Version 7.5)

JUTGREEN  They finally moved the application support files to "~/Library/Application Support/Logitech/" instead of in the User Home directory. Unfortunately, the remotecore application is still in the Applications directory...  
(Version 7.5)

MONOCLAST  I think you'll find there are quite a few pieces of software that assume the file system is *not* case sensitive. Are you also giving all the other software bad ratings for this?

Personally, I don't see why you'd want to use a case sensitive file system with Mac OS X to begin with. I mean really - who wants to have two files with similar names like ReadMe.rtf and Readme.rtf in the same folder? All you're doing is adding a layer of complexity... and for what gain?  
(Version 7.4.1.1)

SANJAY MEHTA  Horrible software. It seems to be written in Java, which makes it pathetically slow.

It doesn't understand proxy definitions in Systems Preferences. The less said about the GUI and the truly horrible way in which you have to keep moving the mouse down to the bottom right corner to click Next, Next, Next is infuriating.

Finally, it doesn't even work with case sensitive file systems.

The remote isn't really worth the money either, unless you're willing to spend hours trying to tweak the buttons to what you want.

Save your money and stay away from this piece of rubbish.
