According to the product notes, this version is supposed to work with OS X 10.4 or later (I'm using 10.6); but the INSTALLER tells me that it requires Lion!

Mac OS X 10.6.8 Supplemental Update

The download link above gives the SERVER version of the software, not the Supplemental Update for all users.

Maybe it is just me, but I cannot get the v3.9.3 disk image to mount.

Belay that last comment!! After trying repeatedly, the disk image which wouldn't mount previously, now mounted. (It must have noticed that I had posted a comment ;-) . Go figure!)

iTubeX

GLW reviewed on 12 Jul 2009

This program makes it very easy to download videos from YouTube. And because you can also view and search for videos within the program , there is no need to flip back and forth between YouTube and some download utility -- as soon as you find something you like, just click "Download" and the downloading starts quickly and smoothly.

I have been using iTubeX Ultimate for some time as my downloader of choice, and until lately it worked flawlessly. Then something must have changed, because version 5.0 suddenly would not download ANYTHING for me. However, the developer got right onto the problem, and very shortly version 5.1 was released, correcting all the difficulties and adding other improvements as well. Five stars for customer service!!

Well worth the modest investment!

GLW commented on 09 Jul 2009

Is it just me, or does anyone else find three releases in one day to be just a tad excessive? If the program is that buggy, why not give it a thorough working over then release ONE update? It takes a lot of unnecessary bandwidth to download versions that are superseded before you even get a chance to install them!

LimeWire

GLW reviewed on 09 Jun 2009

I don't know if it is just me, but every time I try to install this, all I get is a zero-K "Classic Application" which, of course, does nothing.

And there is so much "spoof file" garbage on the Gnutella network these days that it is almost impossible to find anything of value any more. So I'm finding LimeWire to be of less and less value.

Dougster,

YES, that was the solution!! Thanks for that hint.

I still think that's a funny way for an installer to work, though.... Usually they will just add the new version, or possibly do an automatic replacement of the old.

I was hoping to try this out (since I have been accused of changing keys when I sing!!) but I found that the PPC implementation -- whether part of the Universal application or the PPC standalone -- begins loading, briefly starts to open a window, then suddenly quits.

Thanks for responding so quickly! I ran the console as you suggested and the stopNumber was 256. (Before I entered the filter, Console also said that it exited with exit code 6, if that means anything significant.)

The program quit so quickly that I did not get any windows opening, so I did not see Felix at all.

BTW, my G4 iMac has 2GB of RAM

Thanks.

I put the app at the root level of the hard drive (shortest path possible), but it still doesn't want to launch. It seems the reasons are different now; this is what I got off the console (don't know how much of it is relevant):

On my G4 iMac (OSX 10.5.6) this program gives nothing but a blank window. It seems that something has broken from earlier versions.

Thanks to a responsive effort from the NeoOffice development team, I was able to determine that the problem was due to a conflict with Default Folder. Adding NeoOffice to DF's exclude list solved the problem of not being able to save NeoOffice documents.

NeoOffice

GLW commented on 19 Dec 2006

NeoOffice is a remarkable and feature-rich product and I was SO hoping to be able to make our computer officially "Microsoft-free" by the end of the year, but the Writer module quits unexpectedly every time I try to save my work. For this reason, NeoOffice as it currently stands is pretty much useless to me. (3.0b3 Patch 10)
