Lion Cache Cleaner

George Baron reviewed on 16 Jun 2011

Have been using this for years; however I find it so slow on my i5 4core iMac. It does not seem optimized for recent Macs processors. It's like using a PPC app and having to use Rosetta but slower-like forever spinning beach ball onscreen. It is useable on core 2 duo but needs a serious update for recent Macs.

iBoostUp

1.1.3 still crashes on "System Report" on my late 2006 Core 2 duo iMac. Not willing to try again on my 27" i5 quad core iMac until the developer gets it together.

I have gone to the support team and sent in crash reports previously.
That does not preclude me from warning the general reader of MacUpdate that this program needs more work.

Well, although the Optimize function did it's thing (whatever that is) on my older late 2006 iMac. When I just tried the "System Report" all it does is crash, crash, crash.

Works on my late 2006 iMac. Crashes every time on my mid 2010 i5 quad core iMac. Have submitted this info on their support forum.

DiskWarrior

George Baron reviewed on 02 Mar 2011

I have a current (July 2010) i5. Used the updater to update to 4.3. Updated the app in the Utilties folder. Used a wired keyboard as the Alsoft support site says (for current i3,i5,i7, iMacs), restarted with the c key. Heard the disk spin, then nothing. Tried the "option" key, same result. it boots on my 2006 iMac 2 core duo.
Any ideas??

Apple iPhoto

George Baron reviewed on 29 Oct 2010

This is a mess. I can open my library, expand a single photo, then when I try to go back to library I watch my screen, and computer completely freeze. I have to shut down with the button on the back of the iMac, then restart. I have done the restart with the CMD-Option button pressed and done the rebuilds and permissions. Nada!

This could have been averted by the Usability Engineering people testing this product across the entire spectrum of Intel Based Macs from the beginning to today's Macs. Obviously asleep on the job!

MacPilot

George Baron had trouble on 28 Apr 2010

I updated my Pilot to 4.0 and now did this update. Now when I do a "Perform a rebuild the Locate Database", I get a separate window telling me "Rebuilding the Launch Database requires elevated permissions. Terminal will be launched after this message is dismissed and may prompt for administrative password. Input it and hit enter." BTW I am the administrator and my permissions show they are OK for this Pilot. I have never had this happen with Mac Pilot before. In addition, when the terminal window does launch it does not let me enter my admin password. Any answers? iMac 6,1, Intel Core 2 duo OS 10.6.3 (intel).

Transmission

Starts up but my in process downloads nor seeding resume. I can only get success on version 1.76-which I now have reinstalled.

ZippyRippy

George Baron had trouble on 19 Nov 2009

So my "ZippyRippy"(version 1.0.6) asks me to download, install, and relaunch version 1.0.7. I do this but all I get is same version I already have. The website says nothing about this supposed version 1.0.7???

Radio Gaga

George Baron had trouble on 09 Aug 2009

I paid for this thing; however, I'm unable to get any download list in the "Pop" genre. I get the other genres I'm interested in. Every time I try the "Pop genre I get, "Radio Gaga could not receive information from the radio list server." I've tried morning, noon and night-is there a problem???

Lion Cache Cleaner

Have not been able to get Check RootKits (any LCC version) to work. I just get a dialog that it's working and working and working... without reporting Results! iMac Intel 2 core duo.

QuickFind

George Baron had trouble on 14 Jul 2007

Why do I get "Yell.com" everytime when I click the Yahoo.com button on any search??
