iClip 4.0

Type: Comments

I've not heard back from them myself but, since upgrading to Leopard (I didn't upgrade until 10.5.1 FWIW) iClip has not launched once for me. Upon each attempt, I am given an error message that says:

An unexpected problem has occurred. iClip will now quit.

I've tried it again under 10.5.2 and 10.5.3 and still get the same error. I've spoken with other users of the program on a few Mac forums and they've had the same problem, and moved on to other software because the authors were unresponsive to requests (per my comment post, they haven't updated their website in over a year as far as I can see; even their blog is only a test entry from January 2007).

Marvelous software; I absolutely loved it under Tiger and very much miss it under Leopard.

Absolutely loved this program when I first got it -- made my workday all-around easier. Happily paid the shareware fee.

I'd give it five stars under Tiger and zero under Leopard. It just won't work under Leopard (currently running 10.5.3 as I write this).

What's worse, no updates to the program seem to be forthcoming (the last update was January 2007), and no updates of the company website since around that time. Even their blog is a single entry that just says "TEST" on January 2, 2007.

Oh, well. I'll keep looking for a replacement.

Agreed; a drop-down menubar item would be preferred over a floating window (for me, at least; perhaps the option to do one or the other).

FWIW, since upgrading to Leopard (and specifically 10.5.2, which is where I'm starting with Leopard), I've encountered several kernel panics when using Moneydance. Have sent them an email about it, but thought I'd mention it here.

Hold down the F12 key for a few seconds.

FINALLY I can use the Bob & Doug McKenzie Theme as the ringtone for my friend. Thanks, eh?

It is a Universal Binary.

I've not yet had any issues with calibration, either printing on labels or directly on a disc.

The Private list, at least in my experience, often "forgets" what you tell it. I have several backup drives I attach to my machine; each time I attach them, Spotlight (which I love, not knocking Spotlight) would begin to index it, even though they are added to the Private list. After I started using Spotless, it hasn't happened again.

MainMenu 1.5.3

FYI - Does not run under 10.4.6; you get a dialog when you try to launch.

(Can't wait for the revision; great program for basic maintenance!)

Was finally able to download and use -- absolutely brilliant. Sure, I could do most of this via command line or other such animal, but having it all in one place is terrific. I've only used it for a few days but it's a timesaver.

Here's hoping the download link stays live so more can try it out.

Superb! Have been looking for a way to put the date in full view on my menubar, and this does the trick. I can even put the date in weird formats that I use for timesheets (like 2006.02.15 or 060215 for February 15, 2006). Excellent! If I had any suggestion at all, it'd be the ability to move it. I can't seem to use the "command" key move to reposition it, but I have that trouble with all non-Apple menubar applets (menulets?).

Would love to get this, but every time I click on the link I get a 509 Bandwidth Exceeded warning. If you're the author, post your contact info so someone can drop you a line about hosting the file.

Excellent little program. I have a few accounts that I check and wanted something transparent (as in how it works, not appearance) and elegant to distinguish what mailbox had what messages. This fits the bill quite perfectly. Great example of a "does what it does and does it great" app.

Once they shed the X11 thing, I'll give this a fair shake. For now, it's still too "project" like to be a contender in our office.
