JOHNNY ROCKET  its great that someone has taken up the project and has it working. and very responsive to help. After posting my previous issue here, I realized it wasn't the place for it and found the bug submission link on the new developers web site. We worked on it and found it was an issue with just that episode. Thanks for reviving a great app!

MATTPRICE  Just for future reference, I can't fix bugs if people don't submit bug reports.

And yes, for some reason Fringe S2E2 doesn't seem to download. Other shows should work correctly, as well as downloading past episodes of Fringe. I'm currently looking into the issue.

JOHNNY ROCKET  I'd recommend Ripit instead http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27885/ripit

it works much better. Then you can use Toast to burn it onto dvd. In toast choose Video, then video_ts folder. Drag and drop the movie that RipIt put on your hard drive onto the toast window. Pop in a blank dvd and burn it. Only for your making backups of your already owned dvd's of course.

B3NT  The WeatherPop/Glu website seems to have been taken down now. That's good if they are no longer going to support they shouldn't sell. The closest replacement I've found is 'Meteo', a free and open-source utility. It's not as straight-forward and user-friendly as Weatherpop was. I miss the old Weatherpop menubar icon pop-down that showed all the local data with one click, and in its latest revision even showed a local radar image in the pop-down. It was great.

If anybody finds anything better, or close, I'd like to hear about it.

Bright Blessings,

But all versions of OpenOffice that I've tried make the notes part of the table and all in the first column so that it goes to 7 pages. Anyone else seeing this problem?

FOLLEREC  I see the problem as well. Looks like an OpenOffice.org bug, rather than a NeoOffice bug. I suggest you do the following:

1. As I don't have OpenOffice.org handy, if you do, test it with that (even on Windows or Linux) and see if the bug occurs there.

2. If you don't have OpenOffice.org to test with, go to the NeoOffice forums to have people there test it.

If the bug occurs with NeoOffice only, file a bug in NeoOffice's bugzilla.

If the bug occurs with OpenOffice.org as well, it's most probably an OpenOffice.org bug. You should file a bug report with them. As always suggested by NeoOffice people, don't even mention NeoOffice as OpenOffice.org developers will close the bug without looking at it if you mention NeoOffice.

JOHNNY ROCKET  I was running a jailbroken 1.1.2, so I did a restore to 1.1.3 to have a clean install and activated as a new phone. Then I ran iJailBreak 0.5 and it worked, except I then found that youtube isn't working. Everything else is doing fine. I tried the following fixes found on a website but they didn't fix the youtube issue...

Fixing some quirks with the upgrade to 1.1.3

This is how to fix any problems you may have once in 1.1.3 with out installing any crazy fixes.

Sound: Just goto Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings

YouTube: Will be fixed when you fix the sound.

Voicemail: Just tap the voicemail button and let it call your mailbox. Listen to the deleted messages prompt and hang up. Call it a couple of more times. Then, just be patient. In a few minutes, a window will pop up and ask you for your voicemail password. Type it in and you'll be good to go.

JOHNNY ROCKET  update to my last: I decided to do a full restore since I couldn't get summerboard to work. that did the trick. it's working great now. I recommend that if you have 3rd party apps installed, do a full restore 1st, then use iNdependence to upgrade and jailbreak your iPhone. You should have no troubles after that. enjoy!

JOHNNY ROCKET  just tried this out, worked as advertised. I had 1.0.2 with apptap installer and several 3rd party apps. Followed the directions in the help and it worked perfectly. My 3rd party apps didn't show at first, but I used iNdependence to put apptap back on by extracting the 'installer' first from the apptapp app, then I had to just uninstall and reinstall the 3rd party apps. So far I've gotten the following 3rd party apps installed and tested: Apollo, Stumbler, iFlicker, MobileFinder, Services, TapTapRevolution, iBlackjack, weDict, Sketches, VNotes, Books. Summberboard will not uninstall, so can't get it to reinstall.

Haven't gotten it to install my custom ringtones yet. But did a little research and aparantly you can't just rename them to .m4r because it's actually a different kind of file, not just a renamed mpeg4 audio. At least that's what it looks like so far.

JOHNNY ROCKET  I'm starting to really hate Google. The google desktop completely bogs down my system when it wants to index something. I have a new iMac 20" with 2GB of RAM, it shouldn't get bogged down. But google desktop managed to do it. I found at one point it was indexing my external drive that has about 65GB of data stored on it. I told g.d. to not index it and it said it would delete the index. It actually deleted all 65GB of my data and now the drive is unreadable. Thanks a lot google!

Books

JOHNNY ROCKET  like this program but wish the export to web function would update an existing folder rather than create a new one, that way when I synchronize it with the folder on my website, it doesn't think it has to upload the entire folder. I found a workaround by copying the contents of the old 'books' directory into the new one and overwriting the books that are already there. Then it just has to synchronize the new books.

Yesterday I added the GCALdaemon to sync my iCal with my gmail calendar. I tried closing and reopening iCal Events and making sure my iCal was set to delete events after 90 days.

Had to quit it then refresh the google account to get it to ask for the password. [had to figure this out as the Help only has info on when there will be a stable release and how to uninstall it. (probably the most helpful part)] hmmm... it's still refreshing the google account... but the window with the password is still open... I click the button again and it gets an error. I click the button to show the log and it says 3 times that there was an error logging in. I click the button to close that window and nothing happens.

FENNELSOFTWARE  Johnny, we've got a very good news for you: if you were using Excel for keeping your DVD library up-to-date, you simply have to export your data in CSV format. Then, from within fennel DVDManager, just invoke the "File > Import DVD Library…" menu item and then choose to import this .csv file. In a couple of seconds, you'll get your data back and will be ready to use our product instead to manage the workflow of your DVDs :) ! (Note: This CSV-based import feature is available since our very first version…) In case of any issue, don't hesitate to contact us directly, we'll be happy to help you in this process. Cheers.

Unfortunately every city search we did failed to find anything. His internet connection works fine, so tested on my copy of meteorologist and it wouldn't find any city either. What gives? has something changed and now it's a worthless program that will only give data for the default city? looks like it's no longer under development either, last update was almost 2 years ago.

CHIGH  I guess you have no idea how this software is really used.

Skype will not connect to my PBX. Gizmo will connect to my PBX, however, the voice traffic must go through Gizmo's network, the client will not connect directly to my PBX. On top of that Gizmo doesn't work so well through NAT because the traffic must go through their servers. Idefisk is free and works very well, but it only uses IAX. For testing purposes, I need SIP, too.

There are other SIP/IAX clients out there for the Mac and I've tried many of them and had not a lot of luck I'll be testing this client, too.

So, don't go harping on this software just because it isn't free.

Anyway... competition == good.

JOHNNY ROCKET  to FLASH1296's comment "Obviously, one needs to rerun this installer EVERY time the O S is reinstalled." Well, duh. Everything needs to be reinstalled if you reinstall the OS. Also, I've used Maintain for a long time now. In the current version you can either set the Net Speed Up to: Default, Increase Values [which only doubles, no triple or quadruple], or Pick your own. It is a good program but once you reboot, those values must be set again. Apple Broadband Tuner permanently sets the values. ABT is a 1.0 so I'm sure it's feature set will expand in future releases.
