Crossword Forge

Mtcobra commented on 17 Dec 2011

After downloading this version (7.0.5), a check on “About Crossword Forge” reveals that you have version 7.0.6. I'll post this on the developer's site if I can.

Done and done. Apparently I hopped on board at mid-version change. So.... Never mind. :-)

Woot.com Widget

Mtcobra commented on 01 Nov 2011

At least for me, several attempts at download this application were successful except that I always ended up with Ver. 4.21. When I supposedly “replaced” the existing version, I still got the same version as I had before I downloaded.

And, Tripod2, just where is the new “Home.woot” option? I don't see it on my newly re-installed again Ver. 4.21.

Inpaint

Mtcobra reviewed on 26 Oct 2011

I was very impressed with the Inpaint 4 which I just purchased with a discount from MacZOT. It is fast and easy, and mistakes are immediately recoverable.

SuperDuper!

Mtcobra commented on 10 Jul 2011

I tried to upgrade from the program itself and failed. When opened, my version 2.6.3 announced there was a new version (2.6.4). When I authorized the program to update itself, it “failed” to download the upgrade package. I tried twice, same result.

Now I'm hesitant to download this upgrade directly from here. Any advice? -MTC

Skitch

Mtcobra commented on 19 Jun 2011

I haves Skitch 1.0.4 on my iMac. Using its built-in Look for Upgrades, it says that I have the latest version. It will not admit that there is a newer version 1.0.6 available.

But “available” means downloading from the App Store, and apparently full payment. Am I missing something? Is this minor upgrade a full price upgrade? -MTC

MindNode Pro

Hate talking to myself, but I wanted to report the difference in SIZE of version 1.6.2.(20.6 MB) and the new version 1.6.3 (9.3 MB). That's a reduction of over 11 MB! I don't know... am I missing something?

Just in case, I'm keeping both versions.

Apple Mac OS X

Mtcobra had trouble on 15 Jun 2010

Let's hope all your correspondence on MAIL is caught up before you install this. Many cool mail add-on's suddenly cease to work, and you're told to contact the vendor's of them to fix their problem. In my case: Rocketbox, Letter Opener, Letterbox, DockStar, WideMail, and Herald.

Also I've lost the most important “column” in MAIL: Subject

Where did it go?

Maybe everything will sort itself out later, but for now, it's back to a lot of work to restore the simple life I had before this upgrade.

So far, Letter Opener and Herald have responded with updates to deal with this. Keep ‘em coming! (and THANKS!)

DVD Hunter

Mtcobra had trouble on 27 Mar 2010

Strange.

Whenever possible, I prefer to install updates from within the program. When an upgrade is announced, I'll open the program and use it's internal CHECK FOR UPDATES function.

I did that today with DVD Hunter. The update was discovered, displayed, and it asked if I wanted to install it.

It promptly displayed an error box stating: Update error! The update is improperly signed. The only option displayed was -- Cancel Update.

Now what do I do? I could replace the program with this 'update' but not sure. I do not know what an improper signature is/means.

I did visit the developer's site and posted the above message to his feedback.

Microsoft Office 2008

Mtcobra had trouble on 09 Mar 2010

This upgrade appears to be for PPC only. It hangs on the “searching for programs to update” part, and requires a force quit on my Intel iMac.

Not so. I've had Microsoft Office 2004 on my Intel iMac for many years, and all of the previous upgrades have posted properly. This is the first that has failed. Although I have this suite of programs, I generally prefer to use the iWork programs. It is convenient, however, to have these when email attachments require them. The only part of Office 2004 I don't use is Entourage - it seems to cause more problems than it's worth.

You're right! I forgot all about Rosetta. Then I wonder why this upgrade won't? Thanks for keeping me straight! -MTC

Apple iTunes

Mtcobra had trouble on 26 Feb 2010

Is it just me, or are there any others who cannot get iTunes 9.0.3? I bring up iTunes, and it tells me there is a new version (9.0.3) and would I like to download it? I click on *download* and Software Update runs, telling me there are updates for my computer. It runs, then announces that everything is up-to-date. I go here and download 9.0.3. But every time I click on *About iTunes* it reports I'm using Version 9 (but the scroll bit still says 9.0.2).

Any ideas of what's preventing me to get 9.0.3, or is 9.0.3 just mis-labeled as 9.0.2?

[Version 9.0.3]

Echoes of the Past - Royal House of Stone

Mtcobra had trouble on 22 Feb 2010

Interesting, and a fun game, but the dmg will refuse to be deleted. You have a devil of a time getting rid of this beast. I paid for the game, but will no longer have anything to do with it. Putting it in the trash works, but then you can't empty the trash! I don't know what it is about this game, but I'm no longer going to play it.

Installed the new version. It crashes immediately upon launch. Re-installed and it still crashes immediately. Will contact developer.

Wallpaper Junkie

Mtcobra had trouble on 19 Dec 2009

Wallpaper Junkie is still crashing! 1:15 PM CST today

After deleting the program earlier, including the files that Hazel found: Wallpaper Junkie.growlTicket, Wallpaper Junkie (folder), com.limiter-inc.WallpaperJunkie, and two Wallpaper Junkie crash reports, I downloaded it again (fresh copy) from here. It promptly crashed again.

One of my favorite programs, Wallpaper Junkie will have to remain OFF my computer until it's totally confirmed that it is SLeopard proof and stops crashing on take-off!

Although the new dock icon is attractive, the program would not run. It immediately crashed with report every time. Thank goodness for Time Machine. I'll wait for the NEXT revision.

I Love Stars

Mtcobra had trouble on 11 Sep 2009

Help me out here.... I saw this upgrade to I Love Stars, so I launched my current version thinking it would advise me of the upgrade and I'd pull in the upgrade, but no such notification. So I quit iTunes and proceeded to download directly the 3.2 version. When I tried to replace the old one, it wouldn't, because the older version was in use. I tried to trash the older version but couldn't do that, it was in use. The menu bar stars had disappeared, iTunes was closed, but ILS was still 'in use.'

I'm going to restart my computer THEN move the new version to applications, but this shouldn't be required.

What did I miss/forget? 'case something like this happens again? Oh, CMD/OPT/ESC did not list I Love Stars so I couldn't force-quit. Stumped, but not done yet.
