Logitech Harmony Remote 7.4.1 (Mac OS X)

Doesn't work with Harmony 1000 and Leopard  

I've tried to use this software under Mac OS 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 on a MacPro in order to setup a Harmony 1000 remote. However, I am unable to get the software to recognize that the remote is plugged in via a USB cable. Contacting Logitech's customer support yielded no help with their official line stating that they don't support Leopard. There was a Help tip that I found relating to this specific issue in which an earlier version of the software recommended setting up a new ethernet network setting and configuring IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Router addresses manually; however, I see that this is being done dynamically already under Leopard and is not the issue. Fortunately, connecting this device and installing this software under a VMware Fusion hosted instance of Vista allows me to setup the device as I should. Logitech really needs to pass this software to a developer more familiar with the Macintosh environment. As an earlier poster mentioned the software components related to this one application are littered all over the place from two components in the Applications directory to two sub-folders in a user's home directory to kernel extensions in the System directory.

CamCamX 1.001 (Mac OS X)

Nice idea, but...  

The release notes explicity state that the application works with those Macs with built-in iSight cameras; however, it would be nice if the developers expanded this to include external firewire iSight cameras as well. I downloaded the application and tested it out with my setup which inculdes an external iSight camera connected via firewire to my MacPro, and it didn't work. Incorporating a larger range of camera adjustments other than just for low lighting would go a long ways to improving the application as well. [alert admin]
