NetBarrier X5 | Oct 1 2007 |
MARKOH I DO NOT recommend this application at all, to remove it is impossible, even if you decide to pay for it it is based on a yearly license fee, and again erasing your drive low level format is the ONLY way to remove it and you will want to at some point when the serial (which they do see) will be exposed. There are no serials that are permanent for these applications, they are licenses for a year, you pay as you go and these products can be monitored, a extension is left totaly messing with you firewall wether NETBARRIER is installed or not any more. I would seriously avoid it., its really a DEMO. PRODUCT can NOT be uninstalled with out Intego code, while it has a uninstaller Intego has been confronted to why there Firewall still intercepts Apple's OR PREVENTS ANOTHER FROM BEEN THE MAIN 3RD PARTY FW after the NETBARRIER demo OR FALSE PASSWORD is detected! This product is supposed to block passwords like Little Snitch, but what happens is Intego simply de-activates all the features while you think they are working, and you can see from testing the firewall that ports are open everywhere, then when you try to uninstall it you will notice after your done that your Apple firewall will say another firewall is in use, you try all the methods Apple users recommend and as well as Apple to get rid of this and you notice a Intego extension is doing it via console, then you're told to contact Intego and explain where you got the password or reformat your drive, nice trick...

NetBarrier X5 | Nov 12 2007 |
TVALLEAU Well, that's all nonsense. I've both used NetBarrier, and uninstalled it, and reinstalled it. Anyone who says you have to "low level reformat" the drive to uninstall it doesn't know what they are talking about. (For one thing a "low level" reformat is not possible on Macs... nor generally on any modern drives without special software.) Second, the Mac firewall works just fine, with or without NetBarrier. Third, you can just turn it off. I don't know what problems this poster had, but they are not typical, and likely unique to his own setup. Sorry for his troubles, but they certainly do not match my own experience. (Version 10.4.4) | |

NetBarrier X5 | Nov 12 2007 |
SYHARRIS My experience duplicates MarkOh's, above. A while back, I uninstalled NetBarrier using Intego's own uninstaller. I then was unable to reactivate OS X's firewall; I kept getting the notice that another firewall was in use. I tried to find and remove every last Intego file in my system using the app "Easy Find", but even when no Intego or NetBarrier files could be located my system's own firewall still couldn't be activated. Only when I did a system reinstall could my OS's firewall be used again. At any rate, I do think Intego's apps are grossly overpriced, and their egregious policy of charging $30 a year for their Trojan definition updates just plain stinks. Greedy bastards! I'll never purchase/use Netbarrier again, nor any of Intego's products for that matter. (Version 10.4.4) | |

SYHARRIS "Why call Intego greedy bastards?" Originally, they didn't charge for definition updates. Then, they began charging $19.95 yearly for them. But that wasn't enough for them, so they increased it to $29.95 yearly. That, in ADDITION to charging the rather outrageous price of $69.95 for NetBarrier. I'd say that makes them greedy bastards.

MARKOH A few simple steps to actually using TTP: - Before you even think of starting TTP, rev up Disk Utility and repair permissions and check to see if it needs some repairing. - Now you can start up TTP - Don't just start optimizing your HD - start from left to right in the top menu bar in TTP - always optimize AFTER you've done all of the above. and you can skip the hardware test too. I just do a hardware test once in a blue moon. I've used TTP on my G4, my G5 and now on my MBP 2GHz and I'm still waiting for TTP to mess up my HDs. I've never even backed up my system HD before using TTP either. I even use TTP when my friends need some help with their Macs and I use it at work on all of the Macs there and so far TTP has been goo to me. Remember: from left to right (Version 4.5.3) | |

Apple Bluetooth Firmware Update | Jan 3 2006 |
MACUPDATE ADMIN It really is *not* that easy. If you follow such issues carefully (at sites like MacInTouch or MacFixit) you'd know that sometimes a given software update does not appear in Apple's Software Update for some users even though they have machines that do require a given update. And then again, some software updates *do* appear in Apple's Software Update that some users do not require. For example, I do not have an iPod but Software Update would have me download iPod software. Which I do not need and I do not download. Further, Apple has released updates for softwares that do not appear in Apple's Software Update for anyone at all for a few days. Yet the updates were bonafide releases by Apple and duly posted here on MacUpdate as soon as they were made available by Apple. And then people post in the reviews here wondering why, when MacUpdate has it posted, the update does not appear in their Software Update. By the way, typing with capslock on is yelling.

MARKOH darukaru, thanks for the command line tip. I will however be sticking to iTunes-LAME since I now have updated iTunes-LAME to 3.97b myself. Obtain the latest build for OSX here: http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Lame_Compiles What you need to do is goto "~/Library/iTunes/Scripts/", right-click on the iTunes-LAME.app file and choose "Show Package Contents". This will open up a new window with the folder "Contents". Go in there, then go into the "Resources" folder. This is where you want to drag your new lame build, replacing the one that is there. (Version 0.3.1) | |

MARKOH iTunes-LAME 2.0.8 (LAME v3.96.1): http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/8837 and for those with a fast enough Mac: -v -V 0 -b 192 -h (Version 0.3) | |

DARUKARU That command line is a huge waste of disk space for what will very likely be an imperceptible gain in quality. Try -V2 --vbr-new instead, since the latest version includes LAME 3.97 beta. See also hydrogenaudio.org for more information. (Version 0.3) | |
