JMH1  you need to hold down your power button for 10 seconds... .  
(Version 3.1)

JMH1  Having similar issues.

After crashes do you get a Send to Apple report?

I have noticed that the crash logs have numerous references to Flash

and Javascript.

While I think certain Flash versions might have there own issues as well...is your system Flash and Java up to date?  
(Version 3.0.2)

JMH1  Problems I have with Firefox

1. Downloads from emails (for example, PDFs) are non-functional and broken up into dozens of parts.

2. Web archives broken into separate files and folders while the AllFiles option results in pages that do not render properly (i.e. text and html overlaps... pages do not auto-adjust).

3. Firefox often forgets Preferences settings such as HomePage, and Privacy settings.

4. Configuration of settings is cumbersome.

User Freindly Safari:

1. Downloads fully functional and intact files.

2. Creates fully functional Web Archives.

3. Remembers settings _And_ is easily configured or even fully Reset

with a minimum preference searching and clicking.  
(Version 3.0.2)

JMH1  One thing I have noticed is that Cocktail actually clears, virtually all current, log files.

Onyx acts like it clears log files and caches and runs routines but on examination of some of its actions, in my experience, they remain

unchanged.

Ironically, Cocktail has a harder time clearing Archived logs than Onyx does.  
(Version 4.1.4)

JMH1  ... don't like the way Movist crashes on startup unless connected to the internet.  
(Version 0.51)

JMH1  Unfortunately not at this time.

Fortunately, the previous versions

are still available.  
(Version 2.2.0.49R)

JMH1  Yes,

I understand this.

I was basically noting my observation with this, otherwise, excellent plugin.

However, every Mac I have used/installed to running

Panther has serious playback problems

with this version.

Examples:

12 iBooks G4, 3 iMacs G4, and 2 eMacs G4

(granted slightly old). Running QT 7.4.x.

The only solution has been to reinstall

version 2.1.  
(Version 2.2.0.49R)

JMH1  from eMac, iBook, to iMac...

I am pretty sure that this software does not

work well on systems running OS 10.3.9(Panther)

They should correct the specs portion

of this broadcast.  
(Version 2.2.0.49R)

JMH1  How about fixing NAV 10.

Somewhere between original NAV 10 release and

v.10.1.2, the application became more buggy, slow and prone to paralyzing Tiger with auto-protection on.   
(Version 11.0)

JMH1  Dang, DW3 just fixed a problem that no other

program could fix...

I want to upgrade from 3.03 to 4.1 but I've got mixed feelings...I would also like to run a Quicktime version greater than 7.0x

After installing QT 7.4 I was revisted with the "unexpectedly quit" crashing bugin DW. It just does not feel right to have such a critical program crashing (regardless of the assurances that there is not problem).

And it just does not feel right to pay a 60 dollar upgrade cost for a broken app.   
(Version 4.1)

JMH1  iTunes 7.6 fixed some bad encoding from version 7.5.x...hmmm I better start to check'em all...never noticed this problem before...always found iTunes v 4 fine  
(Version 7.6)

JMH1  I, just today, noticed a particular CD track encoded in itunes 7.5 with a number of drop-outs. I tried rencoding again making sure error correction box was checked. Both ACC and MP3 in iTunes 7.5.x were goofed up again.

iTunes 4.7.1 encoded this CD fine.

And.. Good News...iTunes 7.6 encoded this track fine!

So perhaps a bug was fixed...  
(Version 7.6)

JMH1  I have been meaning to post a note for a while...For the last 7 versions VisualHub's graphic interface is

somewhat schizophrenic in OS X 10.3.9 (Panther).

After starting conversion process, the Cancel button

either overlaps the start button or sometimes the Cancel button appears in some random location

on the application interface panel. Weird!

G4 iMac FP 800 768 RAM OS Panther (too slow spec?, for this app?)  
(Version 1.30)

JMH1   ...we interrupt this Mac program...

...beta review for Safari for Windows (beta)...

WOW !

How is it possible that Safari for Windows works

way better than MS own IE 7 ?!? (no offense intended)

Apple's Safari for Windows works better than _ANY_

Windows XP native program I have used.

I repeat:How is this possible?

Thank you Apple  
(Version 3.0.3b)

JMH1  I am curious as to why any user account level can install Flash Player 9, but Uninstalling this broken version requires Admin Privileges...!?  
(Version 9.0.115)

JMH1  I have found that this version causes unfixable/perpetual crashing at Amazon.com using Safari 2.x.

So I reloaded version 8.  
(Version 9.0.98)

JMH1  New version is troublesome.

I believe the latest version is actually 10.1.2 and this latest update has made NAV even more problematic than previously. Most of the time I have had to disable auto-protection in order to be able to eject disks, disk images and other volumes.

The latest version, with auto-protect on, now bogs the system completely when a disk image is mounted, necessitating forced _restart_.

NAV will not force quit and

force quitting the finder does not help....spinning,spinning beach balls..  
(Version 10.1.1)

JMH1  Average rating 3.5, based on category scores.

Overall a nice product, but I cannot quite give it a 4.

because the FM reception is not as good as I would have expected...it is an antenna after all.

Mac functionality is fine or better.

Windows version needs a bit of work.

New price deal got me to buy.  
(Version 2.0.2)

JMH1  I like to defragment backup

dmg files before burning back-ups

of digital camera photos and Photoshop edited

files.

I really hope that the:

"Updated Volume Structures and Optimization routines."

adresses the very slow defragmenting routine.

For example, recently defragmenting a 2.6 GB dmg volume with only one fragmented file and only about half filled to capacity (using "files only" mode) took over 30 minutes!

How is it possible to take over a half

an hour to defragment _one_ file that cannot be over 20 MB in size(that is about the largest Photoshop file on the volume)??????!

Ouch  
(Version 4.5.3)

JMH1  No disrespect intended ... but, as memory serves,

every version (PPC and Intel) I have tried has maintained two fundemental crash profiles.

1. Quits upon clicking cursor on anything in the controller window.

2. Unexpectedly Quttiing on any manner of

quitting the applicatioin (File>Quit, Command-Q, etc)

ergo:Not an adequate substitute for DVD playback.

Its only advantage is the range of file type compatibility  
(Version 0.8.6b)

JMH1  I guess I should add: this G5 has fairly low RAM at 512mb  
(Version 2.1)

JMH1  Took a couple of download attempts to get

a healthy dmg file.

Running NeOffice on our iMac G5(ppc) makes the computer fan scream to distraction  
(Version 2.1)

JMH1  this is more a question than a comment:

Trying out this software on Mac with Dial-up

invokes the modem to connect to internet.

Is not this a feature of spyware?

No offense intended.  
(Version 1.0.1)

JMH1  p.s programs like hymn seem to violate the legal and spirit of the ITMS agreement...therefore not interested...

It is my sincere belief, however, ( I am no legal expert)

that the advent of iTunes 7 is contrary to the spirit, at least, of the iTMS agreement as well   
(Version 7.0)

JMH1  It seems to me that one should be able, at least,

to authorize songs previously purchased from iTMS.

Jaguar cannot run iTunes 7.

Jaguar cannot access the music store.

ergo: :songs cannot be authorized.

Isn't this like having your songs taken back without

a refund?  
(Version 7.0)

JMH1  If you do not already have, you should download

iT verions 4 and 6 while they are still available  
(Version 7.0)

JMH1  I does not make any sense to me why Apple wishes to prohibit Jaguar users from

purchasing songs from iTMS.  
(Version 7.0)

JMH1  The only major repair function is Directory Repair (aside from permissions repair).

It seems to me that what this program needs is file and iPod Software repair routines.

Directory repair _might_ fix a problematic iPod.

But, in my experience it is corrupted files and corrupted iPod software that result in the need

to erase and restore the iPod ...to really fix iPod problems.

What I want is a TuneTech that can

repair an iPod so I don't have to

erase and restore every few months.  
(Version 1.15)

JMH1  I can find no info on whether our new Porche 160FW needs a firmware update.

Cannot download the update tool from any website that links it. And, Lacie seems to be closed for the weekend.  
(Version 1.3.3)

JMH1  Cannot recommend for slower computers. QT7.04 (and 7 in gerneral)

runs very poorly on our iMacs (FP 800 w/768 RAM OS X10.3.9.)

I think the system specs for this version should be

refined to include min. hardware, speed, and RAM,

etc.  
(Version 7.0.4)

JMH1  My favorite program for quick image editing.

My favorite program to print from.

I love the addition of the Print Preview.  
(Version 5.7.5)

JMH1  O.K. I have decided not to download or use this product because this probably violates the spirit and technical terms of ones ITMS contract.

But the reason I am at least researching this concept

is because with the rapid changes coming from Apple these days I have to assume that at any moment they might arbitrarily pull the plug on people's right to play their purchsed songs.  
(Version 0.8)

JMH1  Hey Angry Man:

I do not want to play real MahJong.

I want: "an elegant blend of the ancient Chinese game" tiles " with an enchanting journey across Japan" fantasy ecperience.

I never been to Japan and will probably never get there. I hope the peoples of Japan and China are not angry as you say.

Besides I want something that " is easy to learn" "even if " I have already "mastered chopsticks"

"so" I will not "hesitate to dive right in". " soon" I am "captivated".

...you add up my stars: I give 17 stars!

Take that Angry Man...hooey man!  
(Version 1.1.1)

JMH1  I would like to see some basic iPod options in iTunes so some preferences could be set

_before_ iPod is connected.  
(Version 6.0.1)

JMH1  for the record:

My first 40g was a definite lemon ( dead after about one week of use)

Apple replaced.

New one: no problems until yesterday (11 months of use) when suddenly, out of the blue

itunes 5 could not read library.

Pod still worked as disk

so I backed up files (disk mode) and restored.

Then down-graded to iTunes 4.9.

Working fine so far (one day anyway)

Very Scary piece of hardware...makes me shudder sometimes.

Going bankrupt, being attacked in alleys, earthquakes...

pale in comparison to the ominous threat of iPod hardware failure...but seriously>Mac only person..um...

also, I am afraid to update this unit beyond 3.0.2
