I have been running MenuWeather version 2.3 without apparent problem. Seemed to work as advertised. Today I received an "update available" window/notice on my screen and went ahead and clicked the update and restart button. Not a good outcome. The Spinning Beach-ball of death appeared ... forever. My system slowed to a crawl and I could not get the Menu Weather to quit. I tried restarting, moving it to the trash (which it would not let me do because the program was in use). I tried repairing permissions and resetting crons . . . all the regular attempts to get it to quit. When putting my cursor over the MenuWeather icon the spinning beachball would not let me open it to try to change preferences or quit it. Finally I went into the applications folder, highlighted the MenuWeather icon and opened the "Show Package" option. I one by one started to trash the folders and items in the Package that it would allow me. I emptied the trash and restarted my MacBook Pro. I could now finally go to the program to open the preferences and I was able to uncheck the "Open at startup" option. After another restart I was now able to trash the program. My computer is now back to normal. I have not re-downloaded the update again for trial as I do not want to go through this again. I will now wait to watch the reviews and see if this is unique to my computer or if it is happening to others.
I downloaded MS Office 12.1.9 using Microsoft AutoUpdate. It downloaded the update without incident, but another window telling me to update appeared. Upon closing the window I find the update was not loaded. Trying it again, made sure all apps were closed except the auto update program, downloaded again, when download completes the update window appears again telling me to download. I repeat the download again, and again. Still does not load to the MacBook Pro with Office 2008 on it. Frustrated by MS again . . . any advise would be appreciated.
This program was released earlier in September, it is not newly released or updated. It is a great concept, but not ready for primetime nor worth the cost. Be sure to read the reviews about the inability to even preform the math functions. I hope that it is updated soon, it would be a great addition to the iPhone app collection.
