3.0.4.0 starting to give "NoClassDevFound" errors.

The only changes that I can think of since it stopped working was the Quicktime 7.3.1 update.

Reinstalled the client several times, always the same failure.

Tomato works, however.

BROKEN

Read the Flock info about crash-at-startup, deleted everything visible and invisible about Flock, reinstalled, still crashes at startup.

Went to fresh/clean 10.3.9 install volume, tried it there, 17 bounces in the dock, and crashed.

You have a serious, fatal bug with 1.0.

G4 dual-processor 450MHz PPC machine.

At this point, have to say thumbs-down.

Not bad!

Good to see Netscape back in the Mac OS game again.

Sure, Camino/Firefox/SeaMonkey/Netscape all use the same engine, but the "variations on a theme" serve the users well.

For a beta-1, seems pretty stable / fast.

Have NEVER had any problems whatsoever using an external DVD drive with Toast, Popcorn, or 2one!

Those sorts of problems are related to firmware updates needed, or a damaged OS X install.

I find every thing this product offers more or less easily accomplished with the freeware SnapNDrag. Unless one has lost the mobility of a finger, clicking is not an impediment to saving $20. Sorry.

You have to be a REGISTERED paid owner of Toast to get the updates from Roxio - one must register / log-in to the Roxio Support site with proof-of-purchase.

There is no "direct download" of the software updaters.

As a follow-up check, I re-installed 0.44x and it ran fine - so, either we've got an Intel-only build tagged as universal, or the system requirements are wrong, or 0.45-1 as posted has a bug (at least for Panther.)

Same thing here - X11 launches, Inkscape 0.45-1 launches, thinks about it a bit, then Inkscape closes.

Are we 100% positive this version is compatible with 10.3.9?

I hope so and hope this may just a build-problem.

Me like Inkscape. Waaaaaaaaaah!

OOOrg 2.1 IS PANTHER COMPATIBLE!

"Mac OS X Version: Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) [Change Mac OS X Version]

OpenOffice.org 2.1 will be the last version of OpenOffice.org to be supported for Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther).

for more information please read the log of the Mac Port meeting on the 10th November 2006 and a blog entry on the issue."

You must be having some sort of wrong-port issue going on - keep watching to make sure you are downloading from the correct link.

NOW - HAVING SAID THAT - the OOOrg community says the new Aqua version coming out requires 10.4.

That sux.

They also seem to think Panther is not widely used anymore - BIG MISTAKE.

Recent polls show some 70% of Mac users on Panther - not that many upgraded to Tiger - not enough incentive to.

But, since they seem to be using something intrinsic to the Finder in Tiger, looks like this is it. Very sad and not well-thought-thru.

Oh, well.

If Java 1.5 is a requirement, then the System Requirement is Tiger 10.4.x ...

The LimeWire page states that the official release is still 4.12.x ...

is 4.13 a beta?

MU ADMIN - this may or may not turn out to be the 2.0 final release in its guts - but this is definitely release candidate 3 for version 2.0, NOT 2.0.

IMHO this should be removed at this time - and wait for Mozilla to change their Firefox product page to refer to 2.0 being officially released, where the "about Firefox" application pull-down screen will state it to be so.

Nope, never had any font corruptions with Office.

Either you've got a bad application install, a damaged OS X install, or your updater itself is somehow corrupted.

Hey, it's magnetic media - these things happen from time to time. Ever imperfect.

That's why it's important to keep a good, solid, known-good backup on another drive.

Nice "school project" but there is absolutely NO guarantee of security with this - which makes it very dangerous to use except for simply reading pages - and even then it could be broadcasting information you don't want sent.

This would probably push all of Securnia's buttons at once.

The beta is inside the 10.4 folder on OmniWeb's FTP site - someone's made a goof in the release notes.

Left off - LiquidCD is Tiger-only.

Toast 7 allows the vast majority of Mac users who are still at Panther to use it.

Roxio is a major company, and their support will be vastly superior to what the LiquidCD developer can supply.

Laughable.

The "bloat" you state about Toast is due to the MANY MORE FEATURES available.

LiquidCD is a simple burner - which is fine - but it has less than 25% of Toast's features.

There's nothing "wrong" with an http download, but, despite the claims of resumable http's being stable, the fact is that ftp still is much more solid and fast.

So, when available, alot of us prefer ftp.

It's updating Apple's custom-vended "superdrive," mfg'd by Pioneer, but with Apple's firmware.

That's why an off-the-shelf Pioneer needs to have Patchburn or something similar run so that your Mac sees it as an Apple-vended drive.

If you have a Pioneer 109, 110, et al, you should just watch for when Pioneer issues firmware updates - this updater applies only to Macs that came with SuperDrives.

Uh, yeah, that's what I said he needed to do originally.

I forgot DW hasn't been updated for Intel machines - my bad.

Anyway, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this update. THE TARGET MUST BE IN SOLID ORDER before applying it, but that's true of any software installation.

Um......

#1 - Critical data should ALWAYS be backed up on a regular basis. Additionally, this should be burned to disc from time to time.

#2 - One should ALWAYS have a safety-clone of their install stashed away.

Did you repair permissions prior to running the updates?

Did you boot from another bootable source - the Install Disc 1 or your clone and run a drive repair via Disc Utility?

Or better yet, a good 3rd party tool like TTP4 or DW3?

Magnetic media is a tricky thing. There's nothing wrong with Apple's updaters - you played on the knife-edge, and you got that one-in-100,000 cut.

This amazes me. Why would anyone pay good money for something that is so easy to accomplish using a small touch of effort?

Uninstall an app? Drag the app icon to the trash. Empty trash.

Associated files? Do a Find - on both visible and invisible items - on the applications name. The results will provide you with all the associated prefs, app support files, library files, etc. Select, and move to trash. Empty trash.

This might be useful for your grandparents, but .....

By the way, I'd be extremely careful using this since the method of testing it and number of testers is not documented well enough to get a safe feeling.

You must also realize that X11 is a part of OS X - "universal" has to do with being both PPC and Intel hardware-based Macintoshes, not excluding X11.

X11 brings a whole range of 'nix based software to the Mac and should be embraced warmly.

NO ONE ..... is going to re-write GIMP as a Cocoa application. GIMP is open-sourced and HUGE. It would be a massive endeavor to re-write it from the ground up. And I would estimate that without funding . . .

Actually, no, they couldn't. You can't boot up two OS's at the same time - Apple could, however, come up with their own EMULATION software, similar to SoftWindows, Virtual PC, etc. - which allows one to launch WIN and drag/drop between OS environments ....

It would be nice to have some notes about what this update entails.

Developer(s) please address.

Ok, NetBarrier X3 worked FLAWLESSLY on Panther ..... if you, as an individual, were having problems, you had some sort of corruption on your machine. Kernel panics are usually the #1 clue to this effect - NOT "bad RAM" that gets quoted so often by the shoot-from-the-hipsters.

We've run NetB on a 500 seat, no issues whatsoever.

The price tag value is totally subjective - on a LAN or a particular individual's setup, it can be worth every penny.

GIMP and Seashore are two different-goal applications.

GIMP is like Photoshop.

Seashore is a drawing app like Illustrator (very, very lite.)

GIMP has so many features crammed into it that it naturally has a much larger file-size.

That said, GIMP-app 2.2.10 runs great - installed with absolutely no problems on 10.3.9 up-to-date with all of Apple's latest updates.
