DEVONagent Express is a fine product, but the App Store is very problematic. I went there to update to 3.1.1 in my account and it tells me that all my apps are up to date. I go to DEVONtechnologies, LLC URL and no is no choice to update on their site and, of course, we can no longer update certain applications on MacUpdate. DEVONagent Express itself contains no updater. So what is one to do????
I have found the App Store to be so unlike anything the Steve Jobs envisioned or even a representative as an Apple product. This is not the first time that the App Store has been a problem for me, plus the last time I e-mailed them for support online, with the online acknowledgement that my e-mail was received, I never received a reply from the App Store.
The App Store has never been user friendly, unlike Apple online or Apple Stores!!!

I am having all sorts of weird problems using the latest Safari 5.1 update - lots of bugs. Previous version was problem free. Would like to go back to previous version. My OS is 10.6.8.
Unless I missed it, The Safari update does not address this problem described in the 7.26.10 TidBITS: "Safari Reveals Personal Info Via Auto-Fill -- Jeremiah Grossman has discovered and explained a potentially significant security flaw in Safari 4 and 5. In essence, if you have the AutoFill option "Using info from my Address Book card" enabled, a malicious Web site can extract your name, company, city, state, country, and email address without your knowledge. For the moment, we recommend turning off that option in Safari's AutoFill preference pane. Apple told the New York Times (though not Grossman, who reported the bug) that they are "aware of the issue and are working on a fix."
This is a security breach!
I have owned/used Chronos products from before Stickybrain. I sent the following request on on 9.24.09 to Chronos concerning problems I was having with SOHO Notes 7.0.8 & SOHO Organizer 7.0.7[Question Ref #4151-EYOH-2404]:
"I recently bought a new iMac with Snow Leopard and Time Capsule.
I am able to open SOHO Notes 7.0.8 to the point of seeing my alarms, but a dialog box keeps appearing that says:
"Backup Failed SOHO Notes failed to backup the database because the following error occurred..... You might want to check the backup preferences and make sure everything is set correctly. OK[button]"
I saved my Notes backup to my new hard drive, whereas previously they were saved to a LaCie external drive. I am unable to get into SOHO Notes to set my new backup preferences. I have even clicked on my last SOHO Notes backup from Chronos_robertrifkin 2009-09-02, but am still unable to open SOHO Notes.
It should not matter if my external hard drive is connected or not, since I MANUALLY saved my backups to another folder on my new iMac.
Also, the Apple dealer used Migration Assistant to transfer everything from my former iMac.
Every time I click on the OK[button] it opens one of my six alarms. The data is there as I was able to copy one of my To Do lists.
The dialog box will not go away no matter how many times I click OK.
SOHO Organizer opens but is not usable. iClipboard does not accept my registration information.
Bottom line: I am unable to use my applications."
GOT NO REPLY
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sent 2nd request to Chronos on 9/28/09 as follows:
"I am still waiting for your help on the above situation. I have a lot of important information in SOHO notes that cannot be accessed."
STILL NO REPLY!!! It is now 10.1.09 & STILL NO RESPONSE FROM CHRONOS!!
I did receive an e-mail from Chronos for each of the above requests for help as follows:
"Thank you for adding a message to your question. We will respond to your message by email."
So, what's Chronos' problem??
Everyone should be wary of buying this software, because if you need
help from Chronos you may not receive it.
Also, when SOHO notes was working it took forever to backup. I could easily manually back up 3 other applications and their backups would be completed while Notes was still backing up.
I finally received a reply from someone named Adam who
gave the steps to take to restore my info. in SOHO Notes.
Followed his directions carefully (though the Application Support
folder was incorrect info.). Bottom line: It did not work.
Sent this information back to SOHO Notes non-Support several
days ago and have yet to get the courtesy of a reply.
DO NOT BUY SOFTWARE FROM CHRONOS UNLESS YOU BELIEVE
THAT YOU WILL NEVER NEED SUPPORT FROM THEM!
By the way, I have version 7.0.8. I would have to be loony toons
to update to 8.0.5.
I sent this e-mail on 4/28/09 to support@embraceware.com concerning
a problem I am having with Awaken. No reply. Sent this again on 4/30/09.
Still no reply from support. So now I have both a problem with the software
and a lack of support from the developer!! ☹ ☹ ☹ ☹
I own Awaken version 4.0.2.0.
When I put the timer on to remind me to do something &
click on "use full screen" there is a problem.
As the alarm starts at full screen I move my mouse to
choose whatever I want to happen, before I know it the
whole screen is BLACK. So I hit every button to get
my screen back, including force quit, but nothing happens
& my screen is still black.
This happened on the earlier version as well. I had hoped
this problem would have been resolved in this version.
It is no fun losing the use of my computer in trying to
deal with this.
If this is a bug in Awaken 4.0.2.0. it needs to be fixed.
If there is something in preferences, please let me know
what to change.
[Version 4.0.20]
