Apple Safari 3.1.2 (Mac OS X)
Much worse than the last version. 
I get constant BeachBalls, complete stalls, and crashes all day long... I'm using APE/Windowshade... maybe that's the trouble... but no other version of Safari has worked this bad on my machine. 10.5 in general has been slower and more rife with problems than 10.4. Any ideas you guys? Dual 2 GHz PPC G5 [alert admin]

Apple Mac OS X 10.5.4 (Mac OS X)
Do We Have To Wait For 10.5.11?
Almost everything on 10.5.4 is slower than on 10.5.3... and 10.5.3 is so much slower than 10.4.11. I get Beachballs and a frozen desktop constantly... Safari and Word and Yahoo IM crash or freeze more than just a few times a day. Dictionary is ridiculously slow... and it persistently gives me it's silly Intro/Ad page for a few seconds every time it starts up. I figured all my problems were stemming from using APE/WindowShade (which I blame on Apple for having in OS 9 and then dropping from OS X), but from a lot of the reviews I've read on the net, it seems a lot of people are having similar problems. It's also very annoying to me that you can't lose the sidebar in 10.5 and still keep the very useful buttons at the top of the window (Path etc.) The 1.5 inch sidebar eats up a lot of real estate on a desktop. I've heard that Leopard is not really written for PPC... If that's true, that's a real shame for people who bought a brand new computer 2 and a half years ago (like me)... and VERY unethical of Apple. I guess Apple makes more $ from their iPhones so they don't feel they need to spend as much time on their OS. Dual 2 GHz PPC G5 [alert admin]

Adium X 1.2.6 (Mac OS X)
I let the application do it's own update... when it was finished it wouldn't let me sign in. It kept looping over and over asking me if it could be part of my Yahoo chain. I downloaded a fresh version from here and it seems to be working fine now. Unfortunately Adium still can't connect to the Yahoo chat rooms. There is a pulldown menu, for chat rooms, but it needs a room name... so, how does one get that? Am I doing something wrong? [alert admin]

RealPlayer 11 build 884 (Mac OS X)
New versions don't play old files.
The new versions of RealPlayer do not play some of my old .rm and .ram files... and their are no "components" available from their download connection. Anyone have any ideas how to play them? Are there old versions around that will play on OS X 10.5? [alert admin]

Yahoo! Messenger 3.0b3.98855 (Mac OS X)
I've been using this with 10.4.11 for a while... no probs... a little slow, which is usually cured by a restart. (I have been told it's because of the logging all the chats). I installed 10.5.3... The ap is so slow now... after a few minutes in a chat room, the letters type in interminably slow... one... at... a ... time... [alert admin]

iSquint 1.5.1 (Mac OS X)
Temporary Fix for Transcoded flv to mp4 Files!
The nice folks over at iSquint have a Temporary Fix to the videos that were transcoded last year before the newest QuickTime decided not to play them! Just change the suffix from .mp4 to to .3gp and they play fine. I have no idea of the ramifications of this, but at least these vids will play in QuickTime again! isquint . org/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=15;t=5447 [alert admin]

iSquint 1.5.1 (Mac OS X)
No Video On Any Mp4s converted by iSquint
All of the .flv videos I used iSquint to convert to mp4 (before Quicktime started playing .flv files)... ALL of them do not play the video any more... really a drag. [alert admin]

Adium X 1.2.1 (Mac OS X)
Okeee... after a few reboots, it now sorta works... It shows me a window, but how does one get into a Yahoo chat with just a name? [alert admin]

WindowShade X 4.1.2 (Mac OS X)
I feel bad for the folks over at Unsanity... I am certainly no computer programmer... but from what I've heard, Leopard does something very different in terms of it's OS than Tiger did. The OS randomizes location addresses every time memory is requested. This is great for security, but crappy in terms of Unsanity being able to punch a hole in the OS that won't screw it up. It may be that Apple will have to open an API pathway for Unsanity for any of it clients to be used. [alert admin]

I understand Apple is only barely involved with Safari and as per usual, unresponsive... You might wanna try the webkit people who build the Safari engine (I am probably using these terms wrong). They seem like nice folks. http://webkit.org/

Don't be stupid..? You might try making a constructive statement instead of a lame nonsensical retort. Say hi to John.

omnivector spouts: "I like how you post the exact same inflammitory comments on both versiontracker and macupdate. Do you really just have nothing better to do?" Wednesday, December 06 2006 @ 04:28 PM PST Seems very odd to me that you read the comments on both sites, but you think it's odd to post to both sites... Um... So, you'd have me write two (2) distinctly different reviews about the same app? Seems to me you're kinda obtuse,…
