Get Perian http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22923/perian |
|
PDFs work fine on my end. The only time a PDF has ever crashed Safari for me is when I had Adobe Reader installed. |
|
They're in the process of porting GTK+ to Mac OS X without requiring X11 for it to work. |
|
An excellent app. I needed something to help me make the most of my homework time so I went looking for a timer. Found this and it's almost perfect. It's just missing the ability to pause and some way to delete presets. |
|
They fixed the ratio problem ages ago... |
|
Unless you host your recordings on their website, they have no access to them. Since you don't have to host them on their server, I don't see a problem. |
|
:D |
|
Leopard's Spotlight can still find files in the Library folders but only if you specify those folders. Apple changed the way Spotlight works so that it doesn't search the "entire" computer, just everything outside the system folders (which contain thousands of files). |
|
Good to know that the main feature of VLC doesn't work. Oh wait... |
|
Great they have Classic Controller support but they forgot to label the binary as version 0.7. It still identifies itself as version 0.6. |
|
I uninstalled with the included AppleScript app. Did you try that as well? |
|
It seems the QuickTime movie is just an advertisement for their actual product. That is if you can even call it a product. All it appears to be is a Quartz composition with the camera feed going to the cube, something that is very simple to do. |
|
It does. |
|
Will Disk Utility burn it? |
|
I don't know much about SOCKS proxies but do the system wide SOCKS settings have any effect? |
|
:D |
|
Demeter is really Shiira 1.2.2 with several extra features and WebKit bug fixes. Back when the Safari 3 beta came out, whomever installed it suffered some issues with apps that relied on WebKit. Shiira was one of them. Since the developers have moved onto Shiira 2 they aren't going to fix the older, more functional 1.2.2 anytime soon. So SuperShiira, now Demeter, was born. |
|
I haven't looked much into the deinterlacing option as I don't often come across interlaced video, so, no comment on that one. I just threw it in because the ability was there. But I do agree with you when you say the Wii needs to accept larger cards, or a hard drive. They also need to fix the issue where it runs out of memory and just stops altogether. I was able to watch a very poor quality version of The Breakfast Club for about an hour before it stopped. The high quality version lasted only a minute. |
|
That's a good question. I'll look into it sometime. |
|
It seems they forgot to update their documentation. If you were using Privoxy 3.0.6 then uninstall it (using the uninstall script in the same folder), install Privoxy 3.0.8, and then restart. Privoxy 3.0.8 installs into the startup items. |
|
Been working fine for me for over a year. Do you have a C2D Mac and follow the uninstallation instructions to the letter? Just trying to help by covering all bases. |
|
Either way Radon Browser 1.0.2.1, as it is, is licensed under the GPL. You can't change what your app says sitting on my desktop. So, you are obligated to release the source code for this version. Future versions you won't have to. |
|
That is really odd. Can you still download it though? And just check inside ffmpegX for the progress app. Right click, Show Package Contents, and it should be inside the Resources folder. |
|
Err, where are these lines of code you speak of? Radon Browser is licensed under the GPL so these lines you speak of should be freely available but I can't seem to find them. Tell us where we can get them or you risk being reported for misuse of license. |
|
It downloads in Safari just fine. What browser are you using? And Progress.app is the application that reports back the progress of the actions you've specified. It should be in the ffmpegX.app bundle. |
|
TereNovo writes the truth. http://neonblue2.blogspot.com/2008/01/more-on-krypton-external-downloading.html And from what I've seen there are no improvements. |
|
Privoxy is not dialling home. Whenever an app tries to access the net it's hitting Privoxy and telling it where to go. Then when Privoxy tries to go somewhere it hits Little Snitch. Whenever I turn Privoxy off I run into the problem that none of my browsers have been cleared to go through Little Snitch. It's because Privoxy deals with net traffic. I'd thought you'd have realised the moment you denied and the net stopped working. |
|
Sounds more like a bad torrent file. |
|
I haven't tried it but the fact that it advertises as PPC only kinda means it doesn't truly work on every platform. It's very strange that PPC only apps are still being made today. |
|
Looks like they got that gerbil problem fixed. |
|
Yeah, I saw you added some of the things I was looking for when you released Jet It! 1.0.1. Keep up the good work. |
|
And another thing that would make Jet It! great is slapping a special file extension on files that are downloading, much like browsers do. Nothing fancy, just something so that you can tell the difference between a file you have and one you don't. |
|
1.00!!!!!! Finally. I've been using Transmission since 0.6 and it's finally there. v1.00 is something you rarely see in open source projects. I'm just delirious. |
|
I used to have this installed back when I had Tiger but never reinstalled it when I upgraded to Leopard. Well today a mate of mine came around with his virus ridden portable HDD, formatted as NTFS, that he wanted me to scan. After I installed NTFS-3G I could no longer mount the drive. I knew you need to unmount on Windows correctly (a hassle) for it to work but what about the viruses? We did it anyway and now I have full write access. Currently scanning with ClamXav and have so far seen one over sized ZIP file. There are more here somewhere. I wish there was, perhaps, a visual interface like a Preference Pane so I could easily turn NTFS-3G off and on easily without having to fire up the COMMAND file. Not being able to mount some drives because they were unmounted incorrectly can be annoying. |
|
You're absolutely right. Why do we need another web format to worry about? Especially one that doesn't work. No, literally, it hasn't worked on every computer I've tried. Perhaps it's because there are no development tools at all. It even looks like there's not going to be any support for PPC Macs past v1.0. Microsoft Silverlight 2.0, now officially working on nothing. |
|
I don't feel I can write a review yet but here are some things I've noticed and would like. 1. Why does it say "Medium" Speed? Is it meant to say "Median" Speed? 2. This may just be my connection but downloading is all over the place. Anywhere from 6kBps to 1000kBps on 1.5Mb (average should be about 192kBps). 3. You can't resize the window 4. It doesn't calculate an estimated time till done based on speed 5. Browser integration would be nice 6. Download folder is not saved. I like my files to go to the desktop but it would save the path after I quit. Other than those Jet It! is a pretty sleek Java app. |
|
It adds QuickTime style icons for formats that QuickTime doesn't support natively. No extra file formats will be playable they'll just look better. |
|
What do you expect? This isn't Perian. |
|
I think you want Perian... |
|
Found this a little over a week ago while looking for a more recent version of Gimp. They recommended it and I don't regret it. |
|
Spiffy |
|
Well these links add more to my assumption that Apple doesn't update their MacUpdate page themselves. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/33631 http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Security/Apple-Security-Update-2007-009.shtml Both lead to incorrect links, one is out of date and the other lists the correction. And sure the links in the installer and Software Update don't go directly to the description of the update but it does take you to a page that lists all security updates. If you can't navigate from there there is something wrong. |
|
Is the link to the page that describes all the changes and additions not good enough when it shows up in Software Update and the installer? And does Apple even manage this page? Other people can suggest a new version here on MacUpdate, often missing key new features and forgetting to change system requirements and the like. It's happened to me before with my software. |
|
There are precompiled versions of Wine now? Where'd you find them? |
|
CrossOver isn't just Wine repackaged. It's a lot easier to use as well as being able to run more apps. Just because it doesn't work exactly for you doesn't mean it's a failure. CrossOver the user friendly version of Wine. Users don't have to compile and gamers specifically don't have to get OpenGL working by themselves. |
|
Not entirely the fault of CodeWeavers. Most of the work is done by volunteers on the Wine project after all. |
|
Okay, here's me cleaning this up. 1. SWF means Shockwave File - a Flash format 2. SWF is not a Real format, it belongs to Adobe 3. When I recommended the official standalone player, I meant use Adobe's official standalone player For Intel: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/9/sa_flashplayer_9.app.zip For PPC: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17338/adobe-flash-standalone-player |
|
Try the latest Gimp from Wilber loves Apple. http://wilber-loves-apple.org/ |
|
Very nice front end to a lot of the little niceties. My only gripe is the height of the icon. It sticks out like a sore thumb when it's sitting my dock. |
|
Want to know the main reason I block ads? Bandwidth. I don't just stop them from appearing, I stop them from loading by using Privoxy. Bandwidth is a major commodity these days, especially in Australia. |
|
Jing does work, it just saves in a proprietary format that most don't support because there is no need to. Most apps that do support SWF files only have support up to version 5, 6 or 7 as well. What you're saying is that you would also expect a Realplayer file to work in, say, QuickTime because it just should. But you say you need Realplayer. It's the same as using Adobe's player. |
|
Or download the official standalone Flash Player from Adobe. |

There are some key differences between you and Tom. 1. Tominated Browser is only at version 0.2b, not 1.0 2. Tom is bogged down by his Year 8 homework right now (To Tom: Just wait until you're buried under Yr 11) 3. Tom looks like he is trying to do something original. From what he's revealed about himself, he's learning Objective-C, adding features but keeping everything light. And how can you call Tom a novice when you've both done the same things? I've seen both of you on Mac Rumors talking about your browsers, asking for feedback. The thing is, making a basic WebKit browser isn't that hard. Back when I first saw Tominated Browser (and learned the dev was 13!) I thought "Why can't I do that?" So I tried, succeeded and didn't bother releasing it because there are over 100 Mac browsers and I don't want to become another. http://darrel.knutson.com/mac/www/browsers.html Oh and before I forget, if you know so much about creating apps then can you please tell me who you credited for Testing? I can. |
|
Region codes have never been abolished so I don't know what're talking about. |
|
Who says Hana can;t be used as a general purpose browser? It would be quite annoying but it is possible. http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/7651/picture2nr8.png |
|
Blocks most ads though still more work to do. Would get a 4 if only there so much white space where the ads used to be! I'm gonna stick with Good Vibrations until this is fixed. |
|
Changed the address http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/491852_hcldq/allscriptsforColorMenuExtras.zip |
|
Wow, $10 for the srm command. I could throw together a script, give it an interface using CocoaDialog and then create a binary using Platypus. Easy. |
|
Flux is in excellent piece and I can clearly see the direction it's going in but it's still not there yet. For example I cannot change the colour of text and most of the other text attributes don't function either. There is also no point to the HTML editor at the moment as changes are instantly removed. In an attempt to colour the text by hand, upon hitting "Update", the formatting was removed. Adding the colour in Smultron however works like a charm. |
|
For those who actually find this useful (where ever you are), here's a much smaller download. http://neonblue2.sitesled.com/Site/Mac%20Stuff_files/dock%20candy.zip |
|
Yeah, sure. After I re-uploaded it I though of some other ways I could improve it. And yes MU, I should have but I'm too impulsive. Anyway, you can contact me via my blog (http://neonblue2.blogspot.com/), my email (semaj91@bigpond.com) or my Motion JWii MU page (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/24670/motion-jwii) |
|
WAIT! I fixed it. Download these scripts instead. There's an installer and an uninstaller. You need the disk image to be mounted on the desktop for it to work. http://neonblue2.sitesled.com/Site/Mac%20Stuff_files/Install%20and%20Uninstall%20scripts.zip |
|
Wait, it may not work. Just a moment... |
|
I've made a shell script that can backup the default icons and install the custom one automatically. http://neonblue2.sitesled.com/Site/Mac%20Stuff_files/Install.command.zip To the dev; you're free to include this in the download. Some editing of the code will be required in future versions but it's easy to work out. |
|
This is a cinch to crack |
|
Thanks for making this. I really needed something to blog about and this, and your website, hit the spot. You should be pleased to know that the post is only one of two to use the word "scary" and the only one of those two that is serious. Of all the sites on the net I have only ever seen one other like yours. I am ******* pleased. |

Back when I picked up my PowerBook I tried OpenOffice.org and NeoOffice but they were so slow compared to MS Office. But now I have my MacBook Pro things are all different. NeoOffice is so much faster than both MS Office and OpenOffice.org, it's unbelievable. It boots faster, actually responds to user input and general behaviour is a lot more user friendly. That's not to say I don't have any annoyances though. For some reason the display doesn't refresh all that well. I had pieces of an image I'd dragged left in a crumbly path. It has also been hard trying to find some features where I'd expect to find them. It's probably because I'm so used to Office though. And one last thing; bring out v2.2.1 quickly. The spell checker in NeoOffice doesn't work! Hello I'm neonblue2 and I'm running a Core Duo MacBook Pro with 1.5GB of RAM... |
|
If you want a Universal version of Privoxy go grab MacPorts and install the port. It's much better than the PPC version because it uses 5x less resources (saving a whole lot of virtual memory) |
|
Still using SuperShiira... http://www.hurrikenux.com/Main/SuperShiira.html |
|
But Safari does pass the Acid2 test as does everything else based on a WebKit version equal to or greater than the one used by Safari |
|
I'm with XTAL on this, if this really is designed for Office 2004 users then it is also designed for people on Intel. It's as simple as ticking a box. |
|
It already has a spell checker. Just right click in a text field, highlight Spelling and select Check Spelling as You Type |
|
I wouldn't call this 2.0 yet. It lacks many of the features of 1.2.2 and still has a lot of bugs. |
|
This is awesome. I'm the developer of Motion JWii, a shell script command which converts video for the Wii and I was just using TextEdit before. This had made working on Motion JWii a whole lot easier. |
|
Isn't it funny, I found Slopinator just as we began Stage 1 Quadratics and Co-ordinate geometry |
|
But the software they start is in the Windows executable format so how do they try to run? |
|
Shareware isn't a recently made word. It was invented in the mid-80s when users had to physically share limited versions of independent devs' software. |
|
The Airport drivers are on the disc. Just open Boot Camp again and burn another disc. |
|
http://www.macworld.com/news/2007/02/01/empire/index.php In other words, you need to upgrade. (No offence intended) |
|
Well actually, after using this newest version it works perfectly fine. I don't know what it was but it versions 1.0 to 1.2 never gave me any progress and I've been using 10.4.9. |
|
Well I see no progress at all, it just stays blank |
|
It works, it just doesn't show progress in the progress bar when I'm downloading |
|
I've just had this problem and I think I've found a temporary workaround. Just open TextEdit and save a plain text document as GrowlHelperApp.app. It should then appear as a Classic app. Now FVD should work. |
|
I get an AppleScript error of type -10660 whenever I launch the app |
|
Thanks for letting me be a beta tester and putting my name in the "About" box. Geekbench 2.0 is great! |
|
Forget it, I uninstalled ClamXav and the engine and then reinstalled. It works now |
|
After updating to 1.07 ClamXav will no longer scan anything. It just gives the error, "ERROR: Unable to open file or directory". |
|
Why have you changed the name to DoIt? Sorry I just had to say that, look here why http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Do_It.txt |
|
Well here it is mate. Version 1.2.1 is Universal |
|
Wow, a Mupen64 update. Great to see it's still going |
|
YES! Finally there is a Universal binary version! But beware, it is not official and isn't part of the main Poisoned timeline. http://files.filefront.com/Poisonedzip/;6464833;;/fileinfo.html |
|
It might not need it, but why does it ask me for Growl at least 10 times before the browser window pops up? And then it asks me twice again when I try to quit. http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/5117/picture2le4.png http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/2211/picture3wr5.png |
|
Features like needing Growl? I don't use Growl so your browser is useless. |
|
It won't launch |
|
I don't think Mark will ever make it shareware though he does ask for donations |
|
Since when has Mark written the ClamAV engine? In case you don't know, the ClamAV engine is an open-source AV engine which, of course, is free. It can even be found in Mac OS X 10.4 Server, and it gets regular updates not only to definitions but to the engine itself. |
|
SizzlingKeys is an awesome app if you like to play games with iTunes open, which was partially the reason I went looking for something like it. It has more features then I find need for and the Floater is excellent, especially its implementation of Quartz. |
|
What I meant was Onyx now runs faster after I removed all the PPC code using Xslimmer. Learn to read the page you are on before you make uninformed comments please. |
|
It seems development has really ramped up. Just lately I've been downloading a new SVN almost every night. http://chucker.mystfans.com/opensource/transmission/ |
|
Is it just me or does Onyx run faster? Excellent! |
|
That would be awesome |
|
For some reason after I updated to the latest version, whenever I apply my custom speed the fans rev up then go back down to what they were. I've tried the last version and same thing. I know its not a problem with the fans because Fan Control works perfectly. Any solution would be greatly appreciated... |
|
And MacBook Pro 2.0GHz / 10.4.8 |
|
Yep, it's called UNO and it allows you to change all brushed metal windows (and aqua) to the iTunes/Mail.app plastic unified look |
|
IMHO the latest SVN of Transmission is a hell of a lot better than the current version. http://www.chucker.rasdi.net/opensource/transmission/Transmission-0.7-svn-r990.dmg |
|
(On a MacBook Pro) Poisoned is a beautiful application but only on PPC Macs. I can't find anything now I'm on Intel partly due to it being PPC only so I'm stuck with FrostWire for now. For everyone still on PPC that's having problems with connections try PoisonedAlt. http://www.hurrikenux.com/release/Poisoned0.5.19Alt.zip |
|
Does as advertised. My only problem is that you don't have full control over what apps get the treatment and so my Mail.app looks awful while using UNO shade (my favourite for Finder windows) |
|
Works perfectly with latest iTunes and fixes the horrible interface Apple is showing off. Recommended for every user, especially for those that missed brushed metal. |
