RealPlayer	Sep 3 2008	JMROSSOL So, I've got a realplayer updater background app that periodically cranks away at 100k down / PER second...(thanks menu-meters) What the **** is this for! Stop running high-bandwidth background apps without my knowledge or permission. look in library/app support/realnetworks/... you will find what I'm talking about. I just un-installed this app and encourage others to do so as well until REAL takes privacy seriously and is more transparent about WHAT it needs 100k a second for. (Version 11.0 build 884)		-2

Schoolhouse	May 9 2008	JMROSSOL I also found getting info and selecting the rosetta option fixes the issue. I have not noticed significant performance issues (1.83). (Version 2.1)		0

MySQL	May 1 2008	JMROSSOL thanks so much for this link. I stumbled on this form about a year after my original post-- and have been booting via command line for too long. For those of you who need more info... this pref. pane works for those who did the custom work-around in the previous posts on this topic. Worth trying at any rate... you can't harm your computer.

Apple Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update

Mar 20 2008

MACLOVER You *might* still be able to install this update in a crude manner. Download the update manually and download pacifist. Install and open pacifist, drag the apple driver package to pacifist's window, and hit install. It should place the drivers in the correct areas, although with Aperture 2, a few folders may be different. If that is the case, you may want to extract the package to the desktop, then manually go through the folders, mirroring the folder exploration on the hard drive, then drag and drop to the correct folders.

MySQL	Oct 30 2007	JMROSSOL After trying a number of solutions... I found that this set of instructions got the stock 5.0.45 install working with Leopard. http://www.nabble.com/MySQL-Install-on-OS-X-Leoperd-t4699997.html The key is to start the server first and then run VincentJ's code... note... there should be a space before the"-s" sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock (Version 5.0.45)		0

VINCENTJ Yes. MySQL 5.0.45 is working with Leopard. But you have to setup a path with the commands :

sudo mkdir /var/mysql/

sudo ln-s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock

Note that MySQL PreferencePane is not working correctly.

PHP 5.2.4 is already installed in leopard (but not activated).

SVOOP It's a permissions issue. This will solve it "brute force", I'm too lazy to figure out exactly which permissions misbehave for my development only system.

sudo chmod -R a=rwX mysql-5*

ShhMBP	Oct 18 2007	JMROSSOL I couldn't notice any degradation in battery life and I've been running this patch for almost a year now. Battery still in great shape. It might have a 2-5% hit... maybe.. (Version 1.0)		0

RapidWeaver	Oct 8 2007	JMROSSOL I noticed that you can publish flash slide-shows in about 2 clicks. That's not too shabby. (Version 3.6.3)		0

RapidWeaver	Oct 8 2007	JMROSSOL It is certainly within the average user's ability to create custom themes. I could see this being especially useful when you need a simple, non-dynamic site ... fast. (Version 3.6.3)		0

JMROSSOL updated version available...

Tangerine!	Aug 14 2007	JMROSSOL 1) this app has a great interface. Totally Mac-esque... I love the spinning orange. Almost makes me want to use as an itunes alternative. 2) it has a VERY limited purpose... to visually graph and organize songs by speed... which it does not always do very reliably. The Double/half beats per minute "features" did absolutely nothing when I tried them. 3) If the developer would add some kind of value in addition to the nice layout... and maybe a progress bar, it might interest me.

iTunes 7.4.2 Skin	Jun 7 2007	JMROSSOL sheesh... let's try to be a little more supportive of indie (sp?) mac developers! I like the beige/orange folders... why not go with a wood-themed (i.e. garageband) themed version? That would seem to me to be a better fit. (Version 1.0)		0

Widsense	Jan 25 2007	JMROSSOL I am also getting a bad data error. I've tried downloading everything listed in the comments as well as the official download and its not working. I think clarification would be nice... do I use my full email address on the back or just my username? (Version 2.1)		0

Adobe Soundbooth CS4	Oct 26 2006	JMROSSOL I'm not an audiofile by any means... but I could selectively remove pieces of sound from a recording I made in a loud room. It has potential. This program is kind of like the "aperture" of Adobe -- cool features, but limited scope. (Version 1.0b1)		0

ShhMBP	Sep 11 2006	JMROSSOL I was kinda worried about the "kernel" aspects of this install... but found it to easily installable/uninstallable. I had the whine bad with 3rd or 4th rev. of the logic board and this solved 90+% of the sound issue. I can still hear something when I put my ear directly up to my laptop (which is reasonable to assume--this app didn't replace the bad part), but this patch cut the whine down to very reasonable / unnoticable levels. I'm not sure if I'll even need to send my computer back in for repair now! I am very pleased with this software. (Version 1.0)		0
