Apple Mac OS X 10.4.3 (Mac OS X)

What?? Still not fixed!!!  

How can Apple keep missing such an irritating bug. It was reported and confirmed the day Tiger was released, and it's still not fixed!!! This was supposed to fix most of the outstanding issues, and they still missed it! Now what? Update 10.4.4???, 10.5???, 11.x??? Panther worked fine! You still cannot re-order login/startup items. In Panther, you could just drag them around and change the load order. In Tiger, when you try to drag them it just mult-selects. The only way currently to change load order is to manually edit the preference file. COME ON APPLE, FIX IT ALREADY!!!! [alert admin]

Samba 3.0.20b (Mac OS X)

Anything useful? Like an actual review???  

Are there any actual reviews of this software? I agree with all of these installer issues. It SHOULD have one! However, I need to know how this works. Adobe Indesign CS2 has a serious bug when working with SMB. My users are having to pull down all of their files to their desktops, work with them, then when done, copy them back up. Adobe is aware of this bug, and they are playing the finger pointing game at Apple, even though all other software, including their own, works fine. I am stuck in the middle. I need to get these G5's on Tiger working with SMB! I would be willing to try this it there's a chance it will fix the problem. Please post some actual reviews for any of you who were able to work through the complicated install problems. I would like to know how it works and if there are any known issues. Thanks!

Pop-Up Stopper Anti-Spyware 5.1.0.1400 (Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows 2000)

FireFox?  

Or, you could just use FireFox with Adblock! Why use Internet Explorer, which is a virus magnet itself? [alert admin]

Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.5 (Mac OS X)

Apple raised the bar with Tiger  

Now these applications are going to have to play catch-up. Until they support "smart folders", they are way behind the curve. (this was my main reason for upgrading to Tiger) Because of FireFox and extensions, I hope Thunderbird is the first to follow Apple. I would also like to see this on a Win machine, so when I am forced to use one, at least there will be a good email client. [alert admin]

Xbox Live Friends 2.0.2 (Mac OS X)

can it?  

I'm downloading now to try, but if it can't do this, I would like to see a program that can, or the next update. I hate the online keyboard on the xbox, so it would be great if you could voice and text message with the Mac. Also, listen to and read your messages. Well, I'll try this out and see what it can and can't do. [alert admin]

Netflix dieing...  

Now that so many people are switching to Blockbuster because of Netflix having such poor customer service, turn arount times, quality control, etc... Is there any chance of this being developed for Blockbuster Online? I used to like it when I had Netflix. Blockbuster Online runs circles around Netflix. I got tired of too many missing discs, scratched media, 1+week shipping times, no response to email, etc... BTW: Blockbuster also includes 2 free in-store coupons every month, so you can rent locally for free too. Even games! I would love to see this application support Blockbuster! [alert admin]

FinderIconCM 2.3 (Mac OS X)

Nice, but needs work  

This is the best for OS X that I have seen.

It's not as smooth as the old OS 9 days, but at least it works.

I would really like to see it improve.

I remember an old OS 9 app that you could just pick the folder, then it would combine the icon with the application in the folder automatically.

I would like to see a "quick folder" option that can do this.

You need to go into the folder, select the application, right-click and select the CM, then you can manually combine the folder and the app, which works very well, then you need to navigate back a folder, right-click again, and select paste. This only works about 50-75% of the time. Sometimes you still need to get info and paste the icon directly. A bug that can hopefully be corrected soon.

As an enhancement, it would be great if after you combine the icons, the application could auto-paste the icon on the containing folder for you.

Still, and awesome application!

Keep up the good work! And thanks for a great program!

FileMaker Pro 7.0v3 (Mac OS X)

FileMaker chokes again.. What idiots.  

They are doing great on the Windows version.

They just can't get it right on the Mac.

Since v1, the win version has worked fine with mixed case URLs.

This bug has been a Mac only problem.

I was relieved that after waiting forever that it was finally fixed in v3.

Yes, but they had to create a new bug. Now they add an extra slash in the URL making it still totally useless.

Will they ever get it right? Hopefully by v4 and soon!

They need to actually beta their own software and not release it on the users to test.

Who do they think they are? Microsoft?

If you have been waiting as long as me for URL's to work, you can understand the frustration.

I bought the developer version when it came out, and it has NEVER worked.

Way to go FileMaker!

That's Not a Picture 2.2 (Mac OS X)

GREAT IDEA!  

This is a great program!

It doesn't work well for large images because the browser loads it really slow, but for small logos, and perhaps email signatures, it's a great idea!

URL Work-Around (REVISED)  

Fine tuned a bit...

old script:

tell current record of document 1 (delete this line)

set theURL to cell "Your URL FieldName Here" (change cell to field)

end tell (delete this line)

tell application "URL Access Scripting"

open location theURL

end tell

New script:

set theURL to field "Your URL FieldName Here"

tell application "URL Access Scripting"

open location theURL

end tell

This new script fixes a problem where if you have more than one database open, it could try to grab the URL from the first database…
