BuddyPop CommentaryBuddyPop not working on G4 running Leopard - Version: 2.5.6, 4/15/2008 01:08PM PST

warwickt
Just a warning -- I've been using BuddyPop for years, then upgraded my G4 Quicksilver to 10.5.2 and BuddyPop no longer works. The Apple Internal Modem does not dial (there's a discussion thread about the issue at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6935046). I know the modem is OK because other comms programmes like ZTerm operate normally. So it is a software issue -- either with 10.5.2 or BuddyPop (or both).

I've emailed the developer twice over the last 3 weeks but have not received any response. So I can't confirm that BuddyPop is still supported.

BuddyPop CommentaryAddress display / Update check - Version: 2.5.5, 12/22/2007 02:29PM PST

Ever since I moved to Leopard, I have been unable to get BuddyPop to display address details even though I have checked the address field to display in the app's preference settings. It displays all other address book fields happily. I don't know if anyone else has had this experience?

I've also just noticed that clicking on the 'Check for new version' button freezes the app. and I have to Force Quit it using Activity Monitor. (I was alerted to the latest version (2.5.5) on one of my regular checks of VT.)

BuddyPop Troubleshooting ReportDial by Modem crashes Buddy - Version: 2.5.4, 12/1/2007 07:47AM PST

I have an intel mac with leopard. I downloaded and installed. I right click on a phone number and select Dial by Modem and it freezes. There is no way to remove it from the screen except by rebooting. I would reboot, find a name, right click on a number and boom...does it each time. I did set up my USB modem but even if i did that incorrectly, doesn't seem like it should just freeze.

Great Idea, love that people are having such success with it.

BuddyPop ReviewAnybody else having download problems? - Version: 2.5.4, 11/4/2007 01:49PM PST

I'm having problems with downloading BP 2.5.4 for the past two days, I'm always getting timeout messages.

Anybody have an alternative download URL for me?

Other than that, BuddyPop is a fantastic, unobtrusive and certainly stable utility and has become indispensable for me.

TIA, Tom

BuddyPop Troubleshooting ReportProblem in Leopard - Version: 2.5.3, 10/30/2007 07:22AM PST

With v 2.5.3 in Leopard:

When entering a search string that results in several hits, you can step through each hit with the right arrow as before. However, each subsequent entry sometimes displays with a seemingly random amount of white space before the data. Sometimes, the white space is so large that the data is displaced beyond the bottom of the display area. A work-around is to use the mouse scroll wheel immediately scrolls the data back up.

Also, in the 'Fields' preference, the lettering on a selected line becomes white. This makes the text invisible against the light blue or white background.

BuddyPop CommentaryCheap alternative... - Version: 2.5.1, 9/4/2006 11:40AM PST

While I like and use BuddyPop (see review below), ABMenu provides a free variation where all Address Boook info can be instantly accessed through the menu bar. Doesn't have auto-dial, but it's super easy to use and costs nothing.

BuddyPop ReviewReally easy to use, really effective. - Version: 2.5.1, 8/12/2006 01:57PM PST

I use it all the time.

My only request would be a 'list of results' option, instead of having to use the arrow keys to search blindly through the results.
