Ghost Sphere ReviewI Highly Recommend Ghost Sphere. - Version: 2.4.1, 9/4/2009 07:21PM PST

I Highly Recommend Ghost Sphere. I have used Ghost Sphere since 2005. It has performed without problem in a bit over 4 years. Whenever I have had questions about new features, and when I upgraded to Mac OSX 10.5, the developer responded very quickly and helpfully.

Ghost Sphere Troubleshooting ReportI get 2.3.0! Where is 2.3.1? - Version: 2.3.1, 3/21/2008 09:18AM PST

griff--2008
There seems to be a problem with the link. I have downloaded what purports to be 2.3.1 three times, and each time I get a version that says it was created Dec. 07 and is version 2.3.0.

Anyone else have this problem?

Ghost Sphere Developer NoteAnswer to Terminal usage and own reports - Version: 2.3.0, 1/20/2008 12:00AM PST

The ACL problem only only happens if you update from from an existing version of OSX. It does not occur if you follow Apple's instructions and do an archive and install. So why does Apple recommend this? Why do you not do it?

Now back to reality. The work around I tell you is easy to follow and it does not require any special knowledge. It solves your problems 100% and even other problems that you may not bring in relation with this one.

A new version will come soon and it will have a graphical recover solution, but not for the ACL problem. Complain at Apple, it's their problem, and you do even not get an answer. I reply to every mail. So, sorry that I helped you and you needed to use the Terminal! But it solved your problem, didn't it?

I'm in this business for over 20 years. I DO NOT WRITE OWN REPORTS! Sorry if most of my customers come from Europe and may all have this non perfect English style. You are invited to speak as much languages as most European do, like me, I speak four languages, and we will see if you are able to write perfect reviews in this language. Pascal, the developer.
