iGlasses 2.1.1 (Mac OS X)
I've been using iGlasses for over a year. No problems, no conflicts, rock-solid, and my only request for tech support was answered within 10 minutes. The reply was clear, concise, and resolved the (operator) error. Even the cost is a bargain; for sure I have paid much more for much less. Bravo and 5 stars from me! [alert admin]

StuffIt Deluxe 12.0.2 (Mac OS X)
The DL and install were without issue. I followed the install instructions contained in the Read Me, but when doing a Get Info, the version numbers of all components remains at 12.0.1. Is this my error or did the developer just err re the revision number? [alert admin]

Application Enhancer 2.5b1 (Mac OS X)
1. The date of their last Weblog is 24 Feb 08 2. Their Weblog says: " Please do not post comments and/or send emails asking about the present and/or future of things not mentioned in this post. Such comments will be moderated, deleted, or edited." 3. As yet, no Unsanity products are fully Leopard compatible (some Leopard Betas have been delivered, though not recently ). 4. Their support has always been abysmal. FWIW, Over the years, I have used many of their products and am saddened that they are no longer in business. Still, it was a good ride. But I will send them no more money until I see that they are again serious about developing first-rate products. [alert admin]

Cocktail 4.1 (Mac OS X)
Clearing System Cache Problem?
As a long time C'tail user,I was most surprised to find it (v4.1) still running 4+ hours after a scheduled/Pilot start. It was hung on "Clearing System Cache". I then manually ran the scheduled tasks, and they completed normally. But what, if any, relationship that has to the Scheduler, I don't know. [alert admin]

Microsoft Office 2008 12.1.0 (Mac OS X)
Preventing & Resolving Problems
For me, the updater installed without issue. What I did (hopefully it will work for you too): 1. Repaired Permissions 2. Restarted In Safe Boot Mode 3. Ran the updater 4. Repaired Permissions 5. Restarted normally. Note: I do not have Entourage and Messenger installed. What, if any, difference that makes, I dunno. Also, many have hade success with the tip Guidowenzl previously posted: “Try this: 1. Delete ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Microsoft Office 2008 Settings.plist 2. Delete /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Office/OfficePID.plist Then start an app - put in serial number. After that, it starts the MS update again and then it should work - at least it did it for me!” -- Indeed I am sorry that so many are having problems, but perhaps the above may be of help. And finally, FWIW, Word seems much, much faster on my 24” C2D iMac. [alert admin]

Apple iMac EFI Firmware Update 1.3 (Mac OS X)
Software Update does not indicate this updater is required. Is there a special ROM version or some such to check/verify? [alert admin]

Apple AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite & Snow 4.2.5 (Mac OS X)
I have a 24” Intel Core 2 Duo (10.5.2) and a Graphite Base Station. My machine came with Airport Utility 5.3.1. Do I still need AP Admin 4.2.5? [alert admin]

Apple Front Row 2.1.3 (Mac OS X)
I installed v2.1.3 successfully, or so I was advised, but when doing a “Get Info” on the Front Row app (in the Applications Folder), it still indicates it is v1.0. Software Update no longer indicates I need v2.1.3, apparently because there is (also) a copy of Front Row 2.1.3 in Computer/System/Library/CoreServices. When I access FR via the remote, the “settings” show v2.1.3 (233) is being used. What is going on and need I do anything? [alert admin]

Problem, the (intended) document does not open, but instead opens a new document." Fix: If you're experiencing similar issues, try updating prebinding by launching the Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities) and entering the following command: sudo update_prebinding -debug -root / -force You'll be required to enter an administrator password. -- Note: If you are apprehensive re Terminal, prebinding can also be done by TinkerTool System (Maintenance/System Optimization). I presume other utilities can also perform this function.

Just to ensure I understand, should the deleted files be removed after the update is "completed"/while in the Do Loop, or, should those two files be deleted before the install process is initiated? TIA

looping from setup to updater problem
After the fresh install, was it necessary to install all the intervening updates or is 12.1.0 a combo updater? Also, did you first remove the older version of 2008, or just reinstall over it?

What is correct version release date?
I downloaded Toast v9.0.1 on 17 March. A quick test indicated all was normal. I had not tested the Video Compression feature, but worried not. A scan of the reviews on Version Tracker indicated many were having video crashes with Toast 9.0.1. Then today, I noticed that Toast 9.0.1 was (again?) available for download and that the new download fixed (at least for some) the video crash problem. Huh? says I. A quick check of…

An unofficial fix so that Pith Helmet works with Safari 3.1
Sorry, I do not have a SAFT fix. But a post at MacOS Hints may have the solution you seek. It looks like the fix is akin to the Pith Helmet fix. See: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060803170950202 If you give it go, please post your results so that others may benefit. Good luck!
