GrupaDupa

Bought this, but where is the password/licence/key to unlock it?

How does it reach me when I entered no email address or other contact details?

What have I missed?

LaunchBar

steve4656 commented on 06 Aug 2009

I saw the consistently glowing reviews here for Launchbar so I decide to try it. All that happens is grey bar on the screen, with drop down menus. So what? What does it actually do that is so great?

iRip

steve4656 reviewed on 09 Mar 2007

I have tried a number of programmes to move iPod song to a mac and have been frustrated by complicated or vague instructions or, things just not working as promised. I tried this programme and it is perfect for me, simple to use, efficient and effective. Best of all, the contents of both the iPod and iTunes appear within the same overall window, and individual songs and/or playlists can be simply dragged from the iPod to the iTunes section of the window.

Senuti

steve4656 commented on 09 Mar 2007

The instructions in "Senuti help" are tricky to understand right away and need several readings because of the use of double negatives.

Simple back-ups of songs from and iPod to a mac works fine, but it will not transfer songs directly into iTunes.

The "Senuti help" suggests songs can be transferred into iTunes by drag-and-drop of individual songs or, playlists. I wish it were so, absolutely nothing happened for me.

After hours of trial and error, I can only recommend this software if you need to make a simple back-up of songs on an iPod. Do not expect to transfer songs straight into iTunes.

CreateTorrent Widget

steve4656 commented on 03 Mar 2007

This would be a great idea, if it worked. The widget installed OK, but nothing happens when a file is dragged over the widget - what am I missing here?

aMule

Downloaded OK.Seemed to install OK, but on launching got an error message about missing files. no apparent fix. Waste of time.

Parallels Desktop

steve4656 commented on 04 Dec 2006

Since my previous negative experiences, I have tried again. The VM installation process will only recognise XP and Vista, although the drop down menus show W2000 it is not possible to select.

I have a perfectly working W2000 in Virtual PC, and have also tried the Parallels Tansporter programme. It does recognise the VirtualPC installation of W2000, but always aborts the process.

I have tried a previous installation of Parallels, which has been activated. This new version is supposedly an 'upgrade'. When the upgrade is completed, I am told to activate it. Having to buy a second activation key adds insult to injury.

I remain steadfastly unimpressed with Parallels, and do not understand the preponderance of positive comments on this this site.

Parallels Desktop

steve4656 commented on 02 Dec 2006

It is confusing that the opening Parallels window appears to show a Windows environment already installed.

On trying to instal both Windows 2000 and XP, I experience a system freeze and have to restart.

I am surprised it is as buggy as this for me, in the face of so many positive reviews here.

May try again, but not soon.

CrossOver

steve4656 commented on 30 Nov 2006

Seemed to install OK on a Macbook C2D with 2gig of ram. After installing windows software, which CrossOver recognised OK, the software was nowhere to be found.....

So, no use to me at the moment.
