Hi,
i'm disappointed for the xfactor's crew behavior. I was an happy xfactor's user, until today.
What's happened? Simply, a popup window told me fairly:"Hey man your software are outdated, you can't try to use it, you MUST get the new version". I'was astonished, so i thought "You must be joking brother. Because i'm not kidding. This is my preferred apps and i don't want to change it. Why i can't use it ?".
Well, after a walk through my xfactor's folder (/Applications/Xfactor.app) and a simple mod of the "Info.plist" file (/Applications/Xfactor.app/Contents/Info.plist) the older become a (fake)brand new version. That is, changing the value of the "CFBundleVersion" key from 0.32 to 0.92 grants the execution. It's seems to work fine (until this moment), no need to get the unpredictable scrapnewversion, pending download from the past resumed fine and so on. Obviously I never thought to get a new version as xfactor's popup claimed. The reason is simple: if someone force me to upgrade its software (without escape) then, something smells like Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls. (Do you know South Park?)
Ciao Massimiliano

I just wanted to say thanks to Massimilano for the tip - yes it seems to work - and I hope it continues to. I found the new version impossible to download anyway - have they taken it down?Paul

your old Xfactor works? The nodes are working? Where can I download that old version? Last thing I need is another Limewire client. Looking for a good Donkey clien on the mac.I think Xfactor are just a bunch of thieves.
Thanks.

I agree 100%. Pretty rude way to treat fans of the app. Forcing us to upgrade -- or get nothing. I don't have OS 10.4! So they've just taken away my app. What a slap in the face. Good thing other businesses don't run this way. Imagine if your car stopped working after the manufacturer came out with a new model. Sheesh.Reply to This
