Awaken does not work on my os 10.4.12. The application when set to alarm requests where itunes is all the time. Nothing I do changes this. So it has no working alarm function.

I have been the developers site and followed the suggestions to no avail. It does not work. Very unreliable for an alarm.

Awaken CommentaryFür mich die Hölle! - Version: 4.0.20, 1/25/2009 03:22PM PST

Ich hab dieses blöde Programm nun schon ein halbes Jahr lang auf meinem Rechner, und es macht ständig Probleme! Stellt man 9:20 als Weckzeit ein, brüllt meine Anlage erst um 12:40 Uhr los - ein unverzeihlicher Fehler! Auch der "Backup"-Alarm funktioniert mal, dann aber auch wieder nicht. Es scheint so, als würde iTunes sich gegen diesen Wecker wehren, denn ständig hat awaken die Playlists verloren; ohne dass in iTunes etwas an den Playlists geändert wurde!
Versucht awaken nach updates im Internet zu suchen, bekommt aber keine Verbindung (Kein Netz oer Little Snitch) rödelt es so lange vor sich her, bis man dem ganzen Einhalt gebietet. Dumm nur, dass es, wenn es rödelt, leider nicht mehr weckt!

Mein Fazit: Finger weg! Wer auf einen verlässlichen Wecker angewiesen ist, ist hier falsch.

Abschliessend: Unbrauchbares, weil nicht verlässliches Programm, dafür aber übersichtlich und einfach zu bedienen. Nützt nur auch nichts....

Awaken ReviewBest alarm clock software ever - Version: 4.0.20, 1/2/2009 11:08AM PST

I've used this application for about 2 years and it still wakes me up every morning and puts me to sleep many nights. Works like a charm and nearly every feature is useful.
