iCalamus

MacUpdate Lon commented on 06 Mar 2012

It should be known that on the developer's site it does state: "You can use iCalamus for free. The unregistered version offers a lot."

I tried to access your website so that I could send the crash report... I can't access your site: "Safari can't open page". Version 1.02 still crashes when I click on 'Scan'.

Apple QuickTime

MacUpdate Lon commented on 04 Nov 2011

Sure am glad that I kept QuickTime Player 7.6.6 on my new MacBook Pro with equally new Apple external display. QTPlayer 7.6.6 lets me do what QT Player 10.1 will not: play movies on my secondary screen.

Incredible blunder on the part of Apple devs to create a QT Player that will NOT play movies on a secondary screen. Gee, thanks guys!

This is my fave screensaver, however it seems to be broken under Mac OS X 10.7.1... Hope the developer comes up with a fix

Backgammon Deluxe Free!

MacUpdate Lon commented on 29 Aug 2011

I wish it would keep score between me and the computer. And it would be nice if it would note when a player has been gammoned or backgammoned.

After playing this game for several days, I can tell you it is an ego-booster. Playing at the "hard' level, I beat this game all to hell. It is VERY rare it ever beats me. I've gammoned and backgammoned this sucker so many times. The AI behind this game is extremely weak. It doesn't even know the proper move when it gets a 6 and a 5 as an opening roll. It's like playing against my 5 year old nephew. Sure hope it gets some real guts so it can provide a challenge.

Acqlite

MacUpdate Lon reviewed on 25 Aug 2011

Been using this app for a long time, several versions. It has always come through for me. Straightforward, intuitive interface, easy to use. It has never crashed on me and I've had it installed on many different Macs. I'm very glad it still works on OS X 10.7.1.

Network Strength

MacUpdate Lon had trouble on 01 Mar 2012

Twice I've tried this app on my MBP running 10.7.3. When launched all that happens is (OFF) appears in my menubar. Don't know what is up with that.

December 17, 2007: A critical bug with Intuit's QuickBooks automatic updater can destroy your desktop files, as documented in Apple and Intuit online support forums.

SRS iWOW Premium

MacUpdate Lon had trouble on 19 Mar 2007

Ever since I installed iWOW (version 1.1.6 and now version 1.1.8), which I do enjoy using, iTunes (version 7.1, and now 7.1.1) has had an obscene memory leak. I tested it a few times by doing all the usual maintenance routines and restarting my Mac and then launching iTunes and not using it at all for many many hours. iTunes would eventually bloat up to using 200+ MB of RAM, after never even being used. I have plenty of RAM (2 GB) but even so, that is crazy, or so it seems to me.

Anyone else seeing this sort of thing?

By the way, I did report this to the developer in great detail. Got an email from them stating someone would get back to me soon. That was maybe a week or more ago and they've not gotten back to me on this. I'm sure they're busy, but...
