Swift Office Ships 1.0.6 (Mac OS X)
Seems to be broken in Leopard. It can't make connections that it could before. [alert admin]

Apple iSync 2.4 (Mac OS X)
This problem had a work around in earlier versions. They blocked that with Tiger! It's in credibly arrogant to think nobody needs more than this! I need my calendar synched out more than a year to work in negotiating meeting dates for professional organizations, etc. I have to remember to bring my computer to a meeting just for the calender. Why then should I even use iSync? This a simple thing to fix, and should be considered a bug, and a major one at that. [alert admin]

HP Communication Reset 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Is this thing actually useful, or was I just exceptionally ambitious about my laziness in coding it up. [alert admin]

Apple iCal 1.5.1 (Mac OS X)
I'd still like to see an alarm turned on by default as a preference. i almost always want an alarm, so setting one each time degrads efficiency. Palm calendar had this nicely. Am I missing something? [alert admin]

DiskWarrior 2.1.1 (Mac OS 9)
idea how scary it is going to be for me when I buy a new machine that can't boot into OS 9, so I can't run DW. It's like mountain climbing without safety gear! At least I'll be able to swap the drive into another machine. DW is the gold standard when you think everything is lost. 3 times it has saved otherwise unrecoverable hard drives for me. They are charging way too little. I'd gladly fork over a couple hundred bucks. After all, it's saved me much more than that. [alert admin]

Micromat Drive 10 1.1.4 (Mac OS X)
went bad. Apparently a hardware failure of some sort- bad sectors? Couldn't even mount it. Norton: "I haven't a clue", Drive 10: "You don't have 15GB of files, you have only 3, want me to replace your directory?". Disk Warrior 2.04 (NOT intended for use on OSX drives): "Here are all of your files. Did you have any idea how messed up the hard drive was?". I hadn't touched OS9 in 2 years, and it was a miracle I could still boot into it and run DW. I purchased the update immediately. On my new hard drive, no Norton, no Drive 10. No point. [alert admin]

Python scripts work, but not app 
Would someone without macpython or the developer tools installed and with this problem please contact me? I think I have a fix, but I need someone to test it. Thanks, Joe

According to Intego "Use the NetUpdate X4 program to update your Virus Definitions. The latest definitions should no longer have this problem."

This is a problem with the Intego virus scanning software. I'd love to fix it, and am trying to, but the problem really isn't with my software. I've verified this with another user with intego who is trying to help me out (since I don't have this flawed software). The hpcomm.py script is ------------- #! /usr/bin/python "Kill then restart HP printing daemon" import sys, re, os, string os.environ['PATH']=os.path.normpath(os.environ['PATH']+':/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin') b = 'ps -x | grep Communica|grep HP' a = os.popen(b).read().split() childStdout, childStdin, childStderr=os.popen3('kill '…

Strange. All the apps are is wrappers built by MacPython. Have you opened the Activity monitor application (in Utilities in your Applications folder) and watched it? hpcomm should result in what looks like a changing in the process ID since it kills and restarts quickly. hpkill should result in the process disappearing. What machine are you running on? It might be that I'm only building an Intel binary, but I don't know how to change…

There is a background process that must be running and working for the computer to interface with these printers. When the communication fails, I've found 3 potential solutions: reboot the printer, unplug the USB cable, wait 30 sec, replug it (resets the usb port), and kill and restart the background process. If you are restarting your computer to solve the problem, and the other two don't work, then this script is probably the solution you…

Multiple Alarms/Default Button - missing the point...
This is a work around (not the way it should be, but it works). Quit iCal. Edit the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist with Apple's property lit editor (double click might work, but I don't know if you need the developer tools). Down near the bottom you will see the PersistentMenu-lastUsedAlarms . You should be able to delete these just fine. Use the litle triangle to look inside. The AlarmDurationKey is in seconds (it's when the alarm starts).
