ARTROOM  Here is what solved my Intuos2 not being recognised in 10.5.3

First run the Wacom uninstaller an remove all software and preferences.

Reboot and repair permissions.

Install only the ONE driver (I used 6.08)  
(Version 6.08-2)

ARTROOM  Yes, it was something you did all those months ago that caused your problems. There is no other explanation. The problem just sat there working fine, then one day said, right...that's it...7 months is enough...now i'll stop working!

And yes, any tips on how 2009 is shaping up?  
(Version 1.3.8)

ARTROOM  You're not the only one with serious crashing issues.

I have been using Adium for years without any real problem, up to and including version 1.1.4

Any attempt to use a version newer than that causes an almost instant crash on startup. I have tried most versions of 1.2.x all with the same results. Simply going back and replacing with 1.1.4 gets me up and running again perfectly.

I have tried trashing prefs but with no luck. And if it is a corrupt preference as everyone says, i'm unsure as to why the corruption affects version 1.2.x but 1.1.4 is immune to the corruption.

My advice to anyone experiencing the same problem, try going back to an older version like i did.   
(Version 1.2.3)

(Version 1.2.3)

ARTROOM  Not sure what people are talking about the autoupdate. My version of GS3 came up with a message saying a new version was available and it is clearly labelled as a paid update. I have simply said to skip this version. Done.  
(Version 4.0.3)

ARTROOM  Would really love to try this out but i can't get into it, as it just keeps asking me where the Palm Desktop is. There seems to be options in the preferences to not use Palm Desktop, but i can't get there because the program wont let me there until i tell it where Palm Desktop is...

there is a Cancel option, but it doesn't work  
(Version 2.8.7)

ARTROOM  I've had little problem with Adium in the past, but since 'upgrading' to version 1.2 today, it now crashes every 15 minutes or so... not sure if i'd recommend this version right now.....but then it may just be me?  
(Version 1.2)

ARTROOM  I would be looking at some other conflict or corruption for your instability in Cyberduck as i too have been running it almost daily for well over a year and have never had a single issue...  
(Version 2.8.2)

ARTROOM  awesome. I was just looking for something like this.  
(Version 2.2.2)

ARTROOM  Just tried it out and i think i will have to purchase, it looks very good. a few minor additions i will suggest to the developer though... in particular expiry details on the hosting package as well i think will be useful.  
(Version 1.0)

ARTROOM  definitely looks worth checking out  
(Version 1.0)

ARTROOM  i like, but i'm still looking for a good DVD library catalog, that will allow me to store and link to trailer videos on a local drive as part of it's catalogue data  
(Version 1.0.8)

ARTROOM  A very good app for those looking to create their own simple websites without the need for any coding.

It is quite custimizable however from experience i have found this to get a little more complicated and not really for those in the market for the simple nature of where rapidweaver excels  
(Version 3.6.3)

ARTROOM  handy to created printed catalogs of video files  
(Version 1.4.2)

ARTROOM  I agree, it looks like it would be useful, but i think even at the discounted price, it is hard to justify. I would still need to keep the full size files for archiving etc, it would only be when sending the indesign docs to other people that it would be useful, and that is pretty rare now. Creating PDF's to send does the same job at saving space, but using this first would allow faster saving of the pdfs, good when lots of drafts and proofs are made during production.  
(Version 3.0.1)

ARTROOM  this definitely looks useful to simplify things around here...  
(Version 1.8r7)

ARTROOM  very cool, if it indeed works as promised  
(Version 1.9.1)

ARTROOM  this looks promising as a way to help me stay organised.  
(Version 2.0.2)

ARTROOM  good if you need this sort of thing. I used sidenotes, but kept finding myself still just writing notes on actual paper....just seems easier...  
(Version 1.4)

ARTROOM  i'll take this for a spin  
(Version 1.1)

ARTROOM  sounds interesting....  
(Version 1.1.3)

ARTROOM  great when you need to batch rename  
(Version 7.9.2)

ARTROOM  Thought this would be good. Tried it, but I'm having some bad issues with it....All the rollover images do not crop to the actual hotspot, but just crop from the top left of the overall image. This means i would need to crop all the hotspot images within photoshop to be pixel accurate...what is the point of that? I might as well do the whole thing in imageready....something obvious must be missing...  
(Version 1.1)

ARTROOM  Good little program that makes image maps quick and easy  
(Version 1.1)

ARTROOM  Now this is something useful for anyone using lots of video! I just i hope i get time to try it out before the offer expires...  
(Version 1.8)

ARTROOM  looks good for batching photo proof CD's to clients. Will see if it is much more efficient than doing via photoshop.  
(Version 2.2)

ARTROOM  I need something to create nice graphs for publications, but not sure if this fits the bill, Will have to try it and see what it can handle, otherwise it's back to Illustrator...  
(Version 1.4.8)

ARTROOM  was thinking the other day, i need to look for a simple program to do just this...  
(Version 1.1)

ARTROOM  just had a quick play, but found it very hard to use - at least very hard to make anything that looked good! not as much fun to use as i hoped...  
(Version 1.2)

ARTROOM  looks like something worth playing around with  
(Version 1.2)

ARTROOM  i Like the look of this. I've been wanting to use iCal more, but didn't like the other options of accessing it  
(Version 2.7.3)

ARTROOM  cool. I need to find more use for that little remote...  
(Version 1.1)

ARTROOM  I currently use timelog for this, but I might give this a go and compare. It looks good.  
(Version 4.3.7)

ARTROOM  looks good. Always looking for more effects to use in FCP, so will give this one a go  
(Version 1.0.7)

ARTROOM  cool. will have to try this one out.  
(Version 5.05)

ARTROOM  is there any need for this if i already have acrobat pro? I can't see anything there i can't already do.  
(Version 4.5.2)

ARTROOM  i love free copies of software :)  
(Version 2.1)

ARTROOM  looks like something worth trying. Just hope it can utilise all those extra keys on my Microsoft keyboard...  
(Version 2.1)

ARTROOM  sounds good...no pun intended....  
(Version 1.2.2b)

ARTROOM  Looks good, will try, but i want one that keeps thumbnails of images within its catalog.  
(Version 3.7.1)

ARTROOM  looks good, shall have to see how well it handles each format  
(Version 3.0)

ARTROOM  Is it just me or does it seem a little odd in a program that removes passwords so easily, to also promote the ability to 'protect' a file with a password....  
(Version 3.4.4)

ARTROOM  Excellent. Now i can get into the artwork of locked PDFs.  
(Version 3.4.4)

ARTROOM  Does anyone else get a 'codec overrun' when attempting to mount the dmg for this. I have downloaded several times, from here and direct on the dev's website, using 3 different browsers, and they are all the same. I really wish to try before buying, but time is running out!  
(Version 2.0)

ARTROOM  looks like just what i need.  
(Version 2.0)

ARTROOM  Yes, I have questioned Micromat on this, and basically got the response of many people copy the files off their drive , reformat it, then copy them back...instead of optimizing it. Basically saying that yes, their optimization option is really slow and useless and there are better ways to do what their software is offering...  
(Version 4.5.3)

ARTROOM  Yes, every other time i've created an eDrive before, it has simply moved the files itself, but this time it said it couldn't and the drive needed optimizing first. I never optimize from the DVD (and since it was an external drive, is obviously not necessary). The computer has 5gb of RAM so should hope the program could manage to do its tasks without running out of memory, or otherwise they have some serious memory issues with the software.  
(Version 4.5.3)

ARTROOM  I bought the upgrade from 5 to 6 a month ago....and now i've just won a free copy....DOH!  
(Version 6.1.1)

ARTROOM  Looks interesting, but still not sure i can justify the cost, even at the discounted price. Will have to try and demo it before the offer runs out...  
(Version 1.3.2)

ARTROOM  I haven't figured out Biofilm yet, but am loving Mountain tanks, so i think i will have to buy  
(Version )

ARTROOM  I tried to create an eDrive, but was told I first needed to optimize the drive it was to be installed on. My chosen drive is a 200gb external Firewire. After 3 days, it is still not finished optimizing, so I asked it to stop, as i need to restart my computer for other things. It has taken 11 hours just to stop the optimizing process...whats up with that?

As for some of the other things it is meant to do, directory repair etc...Disk Utility and Disk Warrior both say there are problems, yet Techtool is happy to tell me everything is fine... not exactly useful.  
(Version 4.5.2)

ARTROOM  3 hours. I'd kill for 3 hours. Tech tool pro has been going on my 200gb partition for over 2 days now, and still has a long way to go...  
(Version 1.6.1)

ARTROOM  this may have been out before Frontrow, but doesn't mean Frontrow is a rip of this. Frontrow was obviously in production for a while before it came out (whereas Centrestage was known of and available right from the beginning of it's production).

I do look forward to seeing where this goes though, as there is no way i want my media centre to be windows based.  
(Version 0.6.2)

ARTROOM  Does anyone else get a 'codec overun' error whilst trying to mount the .dmg?  
(Version 4.11)

ARTROOM  Might the reason for your issues be this (as stated in the installer)

3. Unselect “Keyboard Navigation”.

Users of earlier versions of Final Cut Pro will need go to www.contourdesign.com/shuttlepro/shuttle_downloads.htm, and download settings Final Cut Pro Edit/ Viewer and Final Cut Pro Edit/ Timeline.  
(Version 2.1.2)

ARTROOM  Incredibly unreliable.

Crashes most of the time. Particularly with more complex documents - which are of course the ones where you really need this application to help you gather all the items.

Sometimes adding documents again, it will work the second time round, sometimes it wont...

Would be very good if only it was stable  
(Version 1.1b1)

ARTROOM  I found this over at Wacom that might help a few people:

NOTE: If you have upgraded your Macintosh operating system with the tablet driver installed, your tablet may not respond until you uninstall the driver, restart the system and reinstall it into the upgraded operating system.
