EarthDesk 5.0 (Mac OS X)
I love Earthdesk -- have used it since 2005. Unfortunately, I can't get version 5 to run at all. I've done both an automatic uninstall and manual uninstall of older installations, but after many attempts and several restarts, I can't get V.5 to display a Desktop image. Hopefully Xeric support will have an explanation soon. [alert admin]

TuneUp Companion 1.07b (Mac OS X)
I downloaded the free trial and threw at it about a dozen obscure songs in several different genres that had me stumped. (Either I couldn't identify the track at all or I didn't have the album info.) It found them all correctly. Wow! One jazz cover it delivered was no longer available -- that was the only hitch. It was very slow and unresponsive at first -- I couldn't seem to enter info in the required fields to get started, and I was ready to uninstall it right off the bat. But I came back to it a minute later and it was working normally. After reading some negative reviews here I was skeptical that it would perform well, but it's actually very impressive once you figure out the interface. I bought it, and I'll recommend it to friends. [alert admin]

Adobe Flash Player 10.0.0.525 (Mac OS X)
All flash videos are broken up and pixellated with Flash Player 10 in all my browsers. I'm of to reinstall V9 now. (OS 10.5.4 on an old G4 PowerBook.) [alert admin]

Quay 1.0b6 (Mac OS X)
The loss of hierarchical menus in Dock folders was a huge step backwards for Leopard. Stacks is a waste. Quay to the rescue. I had the hardest time getting Quay to work, however, because I kept trying to click-and-hold on the Quay-installed folder I put in the Dock. I expected the old Tiger-style behavior: click once to open the folder in the Finder; click-and-hold to get the hierarchical menu. With Quay, you simply click once to get the hierarchical menu, or double-click to open the folder in the Finder. It's simpler that way -- and more intuitive, unless one is used to doing it differently in the previous Apple OS. [alert admin]

Leopard Cache Cleaner 4.0.1 (Mac OS X)
4.0.1 update is a big improvement 
I bought LCC about two weeks ago, just after installing Leopard. The good thing: my registration number arrived two hours later. The bad: It ran horribly slowly at best. It took about a minute to fully start up, and almost a minute to click from one tab to another. Clicking several times on the tabs caused a crash. I was afraid to use it -- so I didn't. Tiger Cache Cleaner was by far my favorite repair/cleanup utility; Leopard Cache Cleaner was a mess -- the only application to give me trouble after the Leopard update. An e-mail message to the developer was not answered, so I thought it might be awhile before a fix came out. Thankfully, this update makes the application usable again. It's still slow, and that bothers me, but it works. Repairing permissions within LCC takes forever, but that seems to be an Apple problem. [alert admin]

PodWorks 2.9 (Mac OS X)
I'm glad this app is back in business. It's the Gold Standard. Great interface and it WORKS! [alert admin]

Worked great two years ago. I bought it for me and a family member. But it now will only do a "hard recover." Worthless. Avoid this product. [alert admin]

Apple AirPort Base Station Update 2007-001 (Mac OS X)
I have 3 Macs in the house -- G4, G5, Intel -- all with the latest OS and latest updates, and none has Airport Admin Util 5, which is required for this update. I need more info. [alert admin]

Xtorrent Beta 2 (v25) (Mac OS X)
This program finally makes it easy for Mac people to find and download torrents. Can't recommend it highly enough, and when the beta period is over I'll gladly pay for it. I've tried several other programs over the last two years, and I've tried to learn more about BitTorrent, but I always found the process slow and horribly frustrating. I don't understand saichology's criticism than unless the program allows you to create your own torrents you are being selfish. If only creators of torrents were allowed to share the files, then the whole system would collapse for lack of activity. As long as I'm uploading as much or more than I'm downloading, then I'm not being selfish, right? Perhpas I didn't understand the comment. [alert admin]

Xtorrent Beta 1 (v15) (Mac OS X)
Very good results so far. I had been using BitTorrent, finding the torrents the hard way, but Xtorrent does a far better job. Last Saturday it took over 24 hours to get a TV show (not available on iTunes or through my cable company's On Demand service) and I had to "baby" it the whole way (quiting and restarting BitTorrent to force it to continue the download). This Saturday Xtorrent found the next episode of the same show immediately and downloaded it at very high speed without me needing to pay attention. This morning (Sunday) I wanted to play an obscure album on my Nano. I own the CD, by the way, but it's at my office and I had never ripped it. I tried Xtorrent, and it downloaded the 2-CD set in about 90 minutes. [alert admin]

Xeric got back to me within 10 minutes. Nice! The problem is that the Unibody MacBook Pros (with dual graphics displays) require a box in the Advanced preferences tab to be checked: "Display rendered image in a borderless window." This option is said to improve compatibility with dual GPU displays, but it goes way beyond improved compatibility. It's an either/or thing: Either you check that box or Earthdesk doesn't work. Anyway, Xeric was very responsive, and Earthdesk…

This makes no sense. Apple says, "The AirPort Base Station Update 2007-001 includes general fixes and compatibility updates for the following applications: AirPort Utility, AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow Base Stations; AirPort Disk Utility; AirPort Disk Agent." It doesn't say anything about updating only the utility that ships with the new Extreme.

P.S. For the trick to work, the playlist has to be "mixed," containing both normal MP3s and protected AAC files.

I have 2.0.2 installed, and my Software Update does not show any updates available for DVDSP 2.0.3. Maybe the best course of action is to wait a few days until Apple gets it together.
