APPLEHC  Finally!!

I had a bug that prevented me from downloading text messages, calling lists and contact details.

The bug is solved now. 5 stars!  
(Version 2.2.3)

APPLEHC  Well, I already use Dial!Fritz and would like to buy your "Fax only" version. So I would recommend to sell both products.

Regards  
(Version 1.2.4)

APPLEHC  Trust me on this one: I had so many problems using the (registered) version 1 of Expandrive that I deleted it. Now they want me to pay for bug-fixing the first version? Well, I still tried the v 2 - guess what? Lots of problems. Some big bugs were removed with v 2.02. But honestly: For serious users this is a no-go!  
(Version 2.0.2)

APPLEHC  Do it and get your serial banned :)  
(Version 4.6)

APPLEHC  By far one of my best investments in the past few weeks. Using "Coda" for PHP coding I really needed an extra application to get my MySQL databases set up and managed. This application does a wonderful job in showingand changing my databse tables on my laptop and on my productive hosted server via SSH. Not neccessary to open up some extra port on the server.

UI is great and easy to understand. Add or change a table row? No problem. Adding a table? Or deleting a single record? Point & click! You need to replicate the databse? Just export structure and content as a file or create a MySQL statement file that can be used without Querious.

I love this application. It really saves me a lot of development time.  
(Version 1.0b6)

APPLEHC  Well, funny little story:

WhatSize had some issues with the eSellerate engine they were using. I spent quite a lot of time trying to fix this. The developer could not help so he gave me a refund. Nice - I thought..

Well, today he sent me an eMail that I should update immediately - he may have fixed the problems with the eSellerate engine.

Guess what: He just blacklisted my old serial. By testing the new version i got a nice little dialog telling me my serial was blacklisted. Thanks for the genereous help!

You have to decide if you invest your money into this software.

It is the first time after having bought 200 shareware applications that I completely disagree with a developer about how customers should be treated. I would have bought my licence back if the problem would have been solved properly. But finding myself on a "serial number black list", sorry. Not to mention the update politics..  
(Version 4.6)

APPLEHC  Again someon manipulating reviews. And now doing some nice advertisement by using "Twitter" in the name.

Software does not work well. And way too expensive!   
(Version 2.0)

APPLEHC  I tried BBEDit (just overloaded) and Expresso (via MacHeist bundle. Nice, but sure not ready for primetime) Now I tried Coda. I love it: It will keep all my PHP and HTLM files up-to date with the local SVN repository I am using. And it will upload all changes via simple commands. You can even add folders or files to your projects and they will show up in the SVN by "magic" :)

Highly recommended!  
(Version 1.6.4)

APPLEHC  This application (in conjuntion with TimeLog from the same developer) is just great! I tried 4 different applications for time capture and billing in the last 48 hours and this one is by far the most sophisticated!  
(Version 1.2.2)

APPLEHC  This application (in conjuntion with GrandTotal from the same developer) is just great! I tried 4 different applications for time capture and billing in the last 48 hours and this one is by far the most sophisticated!  
(Version 4.4.3)

APPLEHC  Hmm, that exactly what I am talking of:

"EventBox MacHeist

You might have noticed that we’re featured on MacHeist and it’s a free download. I expect many people to ask the question why buy it then? Here’s the short answer: the MacHeist Edition of EventBox is not the same as regular EventBox. Here are the reasons:

* The MacHeist edition includes no official support whatsoever. If you’re having a problem or want to request a feature, you’re probably out of luck.

* Most importantly, the MacHeist edition includes no updates at all. This means you’re forever stuck at build 566. Since we’re planning on adding many many new features in the future, you’re essentially going to be running an ancient version. I’m talking about syncing, multiple accounts, TwitPic, centralized notifications, more services. We will be adding TONS of new stuff. And this is only up until version 1.0. We’re planning to have a very long 1.x series, so buying EventBox now will last you at least 1.5-2 years.

* We’ve got permission from Digg and we will be returning their plugin as soon as possible. You won’t be able to use Digg from the MacHeist edition."

As far as I know there were only two developers so far, that tried something similar, product were GraphicCoverter and SpeedDownload. It created a lot of problems. Both developer fonud a reasonable solution.

But you cannot just write a blog entry and then offer an autoamtic (!) update feature that smply cancels your licence information and sets you back to a trial.

I am a regular shareware user and I bought roughly 200 shareware products in the last 5 years. It´s not about paying money for software and reasonably upgrades. But I do not like to offer some special deal and then just trying to urge existing customers to a payment by simply locking them out. Then just call it a trial what it actually was..  
(Version 1.0r563)

APPLEHC  Ofering a free version via MacHeist. And then just offering a minor update via the application itself. But just to cancel the registration and reverting to an expired trial. Well, well - that is just AMAZINGLY STUPID. We will see if the potential customers will like that. I consider this the rudest and silliest approach to shareware ever ...  
(Version 1.0r563)

APPLEHC  Its getting better with 1.01. At least the applications do not get downloaded over and over gain. Once downloaded they will stay in the Application Support folder.

Bu please: All the already installed applications on my iPhone will not be downloaded. I want to have them stored on the Mac for the case I have to reinstall my iPhone without Web access.

Could you please add a generic "Download" or "Archive on Mac" button that only downloads the package, even it is already on the Phone?  
(Version 1.0.1)

APPLEHC  I love this application! After using some similar products I have to admit. This is by far the easiest and best application. Its not very fast - but unless you got thousands and thousands of files to rename this will do it PERFECTLY. and, its freee! will donate!  
(Version 2.0)

APPLEHC  got myself two 100GB accounts. just ask at dropbox sales.  
(Version 0.6.434)

APPLEHC  I love this product. It keeps all my office data synced between my laptop and my desktop computer. And I got a full backup "in the cload" as well. Great! Using it with Windows XP and with Mac OS X 10.5.6. Make sure you use the new beta version, transfer rate is much faster here in Europe.  
(Version 0.6.430)

APPLEHC  Come on, you must be working for the SugarSync guys :( DropBox has all the fesatures you are mentioning! I am a paying customer of DropBox (100GB plan) and everything works great! I generally see only one single advantage at SugarSync right now: A custom iPhone client.   
(Version 0.6.430)

APPLEHC  I just ripped about 60 original Region-2 DVDs without any problems. Quite a few of them were not ripped correctly by other products. I have ni clue how the developer implemented the ripping but it seems the application does avoid faulty sectors and faulty file structures by only reading everything a regular DVD Player application would read. Probably similar to FairMount? Well, anyway - it does work. And I never expected that a few weeks ago ...  
(Version 1.1.5)

APPLEHC  Have to consider my (4-star) review a couple of months ago. Current version DOES NOT START. Tried everything from deleting pref files etc.   
(Version 3.3.3)

APPLEHC  Works nicely. I had big problems with Lookdown (had to ssh into my own machine and kill the process to be able to login again...)

This software could still use a few more triggers, most importantly a "MagSafe plugged" one.

Still, works great.  
(Version 1.2)

APPLEHC  Works as advertised! Just not sure if I got to register both copies to get a "valid" connection between laptop and home computer..  
(Version 1.2.4)

APPLEHC  Download the newest iPhone App, it will save your notes locally if you mark them as favourites!  
(Version 1.4)

APPLEHC  i am just plannign my wedding with this tool. and it works great,. guys, this is a must-have if you got more than a few people to sit.   
(Version 4.0)

APPLEHC  Ok, this is the way for working backups:

1) Go to "~/Library/Application Support/MobilySync/Backup/" and delete the folders there (these are your Backups)

2) Make ONE full backup by syncing. This could take as long as 2 hours if you got a lot of big applications installed (e.g. Texas HoldEm, Brain Challenge, Vay etc)

3) Check the backup directory for a new folder

4) Quit iTunes. Start this application to disable Backups.

5) Thats it. Every (!) newly started backup (full or cancelled) could destroy your first backup. So do not use it unless you want a more recent backup, nut then start with deleting the old backup.  
(Version 1.2)

APPLEHC  I love this Application. Had some issues with the "Bookmark Sync" to the iPhone. Now I am suing the native 1password application for the iPhone and it does work great!

I used about 10 different password vaults over the last few years. No one was as good as this one. On Windows you could try eWallet. But for Mac this is A PERFECT 10.

To the developer: Thanks for adding fixed port WiFi Sync. What about a Windows version of 1p??

(Version 2.8.2)

APPLEHC  Workd great. Faster and more reliable as LogMeIn on a Mac. Well, did not test it in Windows so far.   
(Version 3.6.4564)

APPLEHC  Works with my TomTom GO 930 Traffic without problems.

Could someone explain to me if there are any big features missing compared to the XP version? I would rather like to stay on my Intel OSX instead of changing to Intel WXP for every TomTom Update.  
(Version 2.3.0.32)

APPLEHC  Cyberatomic, think twice: I got FileVault and quite a lot of times it will take a couple of minutes to re-boot, since FileVault will compact the Sparse Image at logoff. So I sometimes wait 5 minutes pressing the alt key just to get the boot menu. Quite annoying...  
(Version 1.0.2)

APPLEHC  I used the registered version 2 and registered with version 3 without problems. Funny enough its always the privacy or encryption applications that get tons of reviews from strange users. Well, I can only tell it works as advertised and customer service is ok.   
(Version 3.3)

APPLEHC  Great. I was using Quicksilver until I tried this application. Less memory ressources and it will do everything I need. Happy registered user.  
(Version 4.3.5)

APPLEHC  Must have! I am very afraid that developemtn will stop in near futures as mentioned by the developer. Would pay/donate $$ if neccesary.   
(Version 1.0b54)

APPLEHC  Well, after using VMWare Fusion now for a few months I have to admit it became my WinXP VM of choice.

I used Parallels for a long time before and I had quite a few issues with USB Connectivity and with Bootcamp. VMware did a very good job on this altough it seemed a little slower than Parallels. Since the first final version I noticed a speed improvement with VMware. And since Leopard VMware is the better choice for my WinXP guest machines by far.

I recommend tihs product for everyone running WinXP on Leopard.

(Version 1.1.62573)

APPLEHC  This application is very useful! I know you could connect to the iPhone via SSH - still this application works as advertised and is very easy to use. I would LOVE to have a bi-directional sync with the iPhone Notes. Would buy another 3 licences immediately ;)

Aple*  
(Version 1.3.1)

APPLEHC  Finally a replacement for my (Windows) Iliumsoft eWallet. I switched to iPhone and was desperately looking for a "to-go" wallet that would sync with a native Mac application.

Voila! As far as I know this one is the only one right now doing a quite decent job. Well, its a great idea to hide all the data encrypted in the Bookmark-file of Safari. And it works great.

Thanks again - highly appreciated the new beta.

Regards,

(Version 2.5.5)

APPLEHC  Nice little game. Can be played on Windows, Windows Mobile and Mac OSX. IT is very polished for the Handheld device. For a full PC there could be a nicer and more sophisticated menu structure. Still a lot of fun. Maybe $5 less and it would be the perfect price/value ratio.  
(Version 1.0)

APPLEHC  Be careful: Users who bought Graphic Converter 5.95 with the MacPromo-bundle a couple of days ago will not be able to use version 6.0 without buying another full upgrade.   
(Version 5.9.5)

APPLEHC  Hooray! It really does work, you just have to reboot 3 times - read how:

I installed using:

MacBook Pro running 10.4.9

Drive Genius 1.51 CD (its a OSX 10.4.7)

USB-Stick 1GB (regular, formatted with Disc Utility to HFS journaled)

After creating, restart - and press "alt" to choose booting device. You will not be able to unmount the Drive Genius Disc before the restart. So choosing the right booting device will probably show you two "Drive Genius 1.51" entries. Press unmount key to unmount the CD. Restart again with your REGULAR host system. And turn it off again.

Then reboot AGAIN. This time again with "alt". Voila! It will show you your USB drive as a new booting device, with the name you gave the USB drive at formatting. And yep, now it DOES start. It will take a while... dont quit on it to early!

Just tried Drive Genius, FileSalvage, Disc Util from the USB stick. Dont expect speed wonders loading the system and the apps ;)
