teleport 1.0.1 (Mac OS X)
At home, I usually have my MacBook sitting to the left of my iMac. Now I can happily manage the MacBook without having to deal with the trackpad and lack of numeric keypad. I think I'm going to have to send this developer a donation. [alert admin]

Twitterrific 3.1 (Mac OS X)
I just came here to download the app and saw the silly comments complaining about ads in a free program. Apparently the developers have the audacity to want to earn some income from their product? What a concept! So some folks are offended by ads? Or they feel compelled to buy advertised stuff? I don't get it. I'm definitely going to download the app, and I might even read the ads, just for spite! :-) [alert admin]

Dropbox 0.6.402 (Mac OS X)
I've had v0.6.402 since late October. Is this really a new version? [alert admin]

Google Notifier 1.10.2.580 (Mac OS X)
I've used this program since it's been available. Occasionally it will ask me to log in, but not enough to be annoying. It's probably the program that gets the most use on my Mac, since I check it's menu bar icon every time I start any activity. [alert admin]

Apple iDVD 7.0.2 (Mac OS X)
When I ran Software Update today, it showed only the update for QuickTime 7.5. After I ran the update and restarted, I ran Software Update again. That's when the updates for iMovie and iDVD appeared. The same sequence occurred when I ran Software Update on my other Mac. [alert admin]

LaCie DVD Update Tool 2.0 (Mac OS X)
Note that this updater may perform multiple updates, depending on your hardware. On my system, with an external D2 DVD-RW DL, it took 3 or four cycles before it said my drive needed no further updates. Keep applying updates until the program says it can't find a drive requiring an update. [alert admin]

Passwords Plus 1.0.0.6 (Mac OS X)
I've used Passwords Plus almost every day for several years. It is running on my iMac at home, and on my Palm Zire 71 for access from my office or elsewhere. Part of my routine is to use the Palm's HotSync feature to synchronize every time I recharge, so the two databases are kept in sync (I can make additions or changes on either platform, and they get transferred automatically to the other).

WeatherManX 1.9.8 (Mac OS X)
I hadn't used WeatherManX for awhile, and noticed recently that neither the Forecast nor the Extended Forecast were showing any data for any of the three cities I had set up. After reviewing the other comments here, I deleted and then re-added the three cities, and the forecasts started working again. iMac G4 800, 1GB RAM, OS X 10.4.11 [alert admin]

Must be configuration-dependent, because NeoOffice started up fine for me after both Patch 6 and Patch 7. iMac 2008, OS X 10.5.8

Great software, lacks network support
It needs no network support - you can use Share Screen from the Fiinder or programs like Remote Desktop or Timbuktu - quite easy to drive the scanner from whatever machine it is connected to.
I believe the original comment was referring to scanners that are not connected directly to any computer. They use an ethernet interface (possibly WiFi) instead of USB.

Problems on Tiger Server after QT 7.6 update
I notice on the download page that there are separate downloads for Tiger and Leopard. Be sure to get the right one.

Click on the Schedule button in the Energy Saver preferences. There's a popup that allows you to schedule a Restart.

If you can't delete the disk image from your desktop, it sounds like you launched the program from the disk image, instead of copying it to your Applications folder and launching it from THERE.

It worked on my 15” 800Mhz iMac earlier this year. I haven't tried the 2.0 version, since that iMac is basically “retired” now.

If you don't understand what they're talking about, then you probably don't need this app! :-)

my blackbook 2 ghz core2duo said it didn't need the update
Your experience is consistent with the fact that the download webpage for the new Apple Firmware Restoration CD 1.6 that was just released does not list the MacBook (late 2006) as an affected model - only the MacBook (late 2007) in the MacBook series. Apparently the new firmware update isn't for our “vintage” MacBooks.

I've just done some Googling for the meaning of "internet-enabled disk image". Here's some info on the Apple Developer site:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/SoftwareDistribution/Containers/chapter_3_section_3.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000145i-CH4-DontLinkElementID_7
It appears that the term refers to a disk image that, when downloaded by the browser, automatically opens, extracts its contents to the download folder, and then moves itself to the Trash, so all you are left with is an application file or folder of files. I've seen this behavior with many downloads. Since I typically…
