Likewise. Also when I tried to download the update (2.3) I came up with a 404.Wednesday, September 26 2007 @ 07:29 AM PDT
Bring it back!! - macmacperson
Would really like this updated. Seems the developer has given up on it or closed down. This has been my favorite AAPL monitor. If it stays gone, does someone have a good alternative?Monday, October 01 2007 @ 12:52 PM PDT

It's actually pretty easy to fix the 9/4 problem, but it won't run at all under Leopard.The 9/4 problem was caused by Yahoo's changing their URL. AAPLStockDock has the URL "http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=aapl&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv" in Defaults.plist. If you change that to: "http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=aapl&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv" it will work until you upgrade to Leopard.
To edit the plist, select AAPLStockDock and do a "Show Contents". Navigate to Contents -> Resources and there it is. You can edit it with a text editor (as long as you're careful to save it as TEXT).

Fix for Leopard - jimquick1
As the other poster, LarryP, noted, Yahoo changed the URL under which they provide the data which AAPLStockDock uses. So, you still need to modify the content of the plist file.The subsequent problem under Leopard, is due to a change in the WebKit framework under Mac OS 10.5. In order to fix this you will need to download the source code, modify it, and build your own.
If you comment out, or delete, the
connection:willSendRequest:redirectResponse:
method in Downloader.m, and recompile it, it will work again in Leopard.

Fix for Leopard - mark.duling
Please be more specific. What text exactly did you remove from Download.m? I can't get it to work on 10.5.Wednesday, December 05 2007 @ 01:39 PM PST

BTW, I am downloading and building from source, it's just that the app gives "quit unexpectedly" messages.Wednesday, December 05 2007 @ 04:31 PM PST
