Demo does not work - asks for key. I knocked and, alas, it was not opened.

OnyX

Jpwgibson commented on 02 Nov 2009

I have been using OnyX for several years on 4 Macs and have had nothing but healthy, consistant, reliable, stable machines as a result. This remains true with SL; the only thing having changed is an increase in OnyX's speed and increase in its functions and options.

Permanent Eraser also overwrites 30 times; and it does this for free.

$15.99? Seriously?

OnyX

JPWGibson commented on 01 Jun 2008

What I mean is that there does not seem to be any action being taken by the developer against all of the problems that have been posted here. I have been very fond of OnyX for many years, using it on all 3 of my Macs; and then the troubles started a couple of months ago, and there hasn't been any updates subsequently. I certainly don't mean anything disrespectful or disparaging by my comment.

Microsoft Office 2008

JPWGibson commented on 15 May 2008

It's slow, it's ugly, it's cumbersome, it's expensive: in short, it's a Microsoft product. Get this slack-jawed piece of poorly-thought-out trash off of your Mac and get a real (and free!)word processor - Neo Office.

Interestingly, I did an erase and install of Leopard (due to an unrelated matter - I was giving this Mac to my mother for her use, and wanted her to personalize it). Out of curiosity I installed OnyX again after this, and ran what seemed to be the problematic function (LaunchServices). No problems whatsoever were encountered this time.

Another error message and hangup . . . This occurs when doing "LaunchServices" on a PowerBook G4 running Leopard 10.5.2. The message - this time - (see previous entry) says the following:

""AppleScript Error. Finder got an error: AppleEvent timed out. (-1712).

Any ideas and/or theories?

I got an error message stating:

"AppleScript Error. Finder got an error: Connection is invalid . (-609)"

The program seems also to be hanging.

Yes, it is definitely hanging; I let it run before bed last night, only to wake up this morning to find it still running. I was running "Launch Services" on 1.9.4b3 (on a PowerBook G4) when the error message and hang occurred.

I am no longer able to open Parameters on any of my 3 Macs; I receive the following AppleScript Error:

Can't set «class butT» "enableASInspector" of «class taVI» "tabMisc" of «class tabV» "tabs" of window "paramPanel" to 0. (-10006)

After which the progress bar hangs, and OnX must be forced quit.

Uninstalling and reinstalling seems to have solved the problem.

Jpwgibson commented on 05 Oct 2009

Did you use the uninstaller that comes in the download? I downloaded 2.1b2, ran the uninstaller that comes with it, then installed 2.1b2, which fixed the problem for me. Was your problem - as was mine - with Parameters?

Does anyone know how to uninstall this? I can't get it working on my iMac (Intel)

R.I.P OnyX. It was good while it lasted.
