VirtualBox

Chrischram commented on 27 Apr 2012

VirtualBox has allowed installation of Snow Leopard Server as a guest OS for some time now, but, perhaps by virtue of a bug, regular Snow Leopard was also installable. Unfortunately this bug seems to have been squashed in this new version. Poo!

[Version 4.1.14]

Apple iTunes

Chrischram commented on 29 Mar 2012

The Address Book to Contacts syncing issue for older iPods has not been fixed, and I suspect it never will be. Luckily Automator came to the rescue.

[Version 10.6.1]

Burn

Chrischram commented on 06 Jan 2012

I use this app all the time for lightweight burning tasks. My one wish is that the developer could get the DVD menu function to work right.

[Version 2.5.1]

calibre

Chrischram commented on 08 Oct 2011

calibre does not play well with Growl 1.3 for Lion. If I want to convert a document to another format, I get a request to locate GrowlHelper.app, which does not exist in Growl 1.3. There is no escape from that dialog except to quit calibre.

My workaround: I installed calibre under Ubuntu/VirtualBox and I got my conversion(s) to work fine.

[Version 0.8.21]

WhatRoute

Chrischram reviewed on 01 Sep 2011

This is probably the least stable application I use under Lion. Lots of crashes and scrolling just doesn't work right at all. I can't dump it though. It's just too useful.

[Version 1.10.5]

Burn

Chrischram had trouble on 04 Jan 2011

When I try to convert video files to MPG for a DVD, Burn 2.5 consistently throws an unknown error at me. Time to dig into Time machine for the previous version. It never gave me any trouble. (Early 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard)

[Version 2.5]

HostsWidget

Chrischram had trouble on 08 Aug 2010

One more data point: Version 1.2 has no effect on /etc/hosts whatsoever. I don't have version 1.1 to fall back on.

[Version 1.2]

Plaxo

Chrischram had trouble on 26 Jan 2010

This version still repeatedly crashes the Plaxo Assistant background process on my mid-2009 MacBook. Plaxo denies there is a problem. I can't find anyplace to upload my growing list of crash reports. I'm about ready to stop trying to get this POS to work.

[Version 3.16.2]

Plaxo

Chrischram had trouble on 22 Dec 2009

STILL not 64-bit compatible? I just tried this version on my mid-2009 MacBook running Snow Leopard. It never syncs anything because one of Plaxo's background processes crashes.

[Version 3.16.1]

Plaxo

Chrischram had trouble on 06 Nov 2009

This version claims to be compatible with Snow Leopard in both 32 and 64 bit mode. After several uninstalls/reinstalls I have been unable to get anything but crashes of background processes on my mid-2009 MacBook.

[Version 3.16v977]

Monolingual

Chrischram had trouble on 28 Oct 2009

Under Snow Leopard this version of Monolingual does something to its preferences file that causes the application to crash after a number of runs. deleting net.sourceforge.Monolingual.plist and then resetting personal preferences fixes things for awhile, until next time. I just tried locking the preferences to see if I get better mileage. Time will tell.

[Version 1.4.1]

XQuartz

chrischram had trouble on 03 May 2008

WARNING: Be sure to have a good system backup before installing version 2.2.1. YMMV, but it rendered my Early 2006 iMac unbootable. Thank the gods for Time Machine!

[Version 2.2.1]

SafariBlock

chrischram had trouble on 15 Dec 2007

As far as I can ascertain, this plugin blocks ads by not allowing Safari to launch. (Intel iMac; latest Leopard; latest Safari)

[Version 2.0r2]

Couch Potato

chrischram had trouble on 28 Nov 2007

Under Leopard, does not download schedule. Back to 1.8.1.

[Version 1.9]

Couch Potato

chrischram had trouble on 28 Nov 2007

This version has a major problem! Under Leopard, it is impossible to return to the front side of the widget from the preferences side. I guess I'll have to take a trip in my Time Machine to find the previous version.

Leopard users: Skip this one!

[Version 1.9]
