New iTunes and Acrobat Software released

Apple released iTunes 4.0.1 this afternoon, It addresses a few issues while at the same time crippling the "share-anywhere" feature that was available to users of the 4.0 version. What does this mean to you? You wont be able to listen to (or download as some utilities allow) other peoples libraries unless they’re on the same LAN as you are (and vice-versa).

Adobe Released its newly updated Acrobat suite of Applications. I’ve only been able to play with the new Reader 6.0 for a few minutes, and I can say I was pleasantly surprised that it supports Long FIle Names in Mac OS X. It still allows viewing of native Adobe Illustrator 10 (and greater?) files. And the updated interface doesn’t seem like it will take too much getting used to. One gripe, there are WAY TOO MANY BUTTONS to accidently click on the toolbar that can take you to places you do not want to go (i.e. sites that try to sell you on the pay for versions of Acrobat or sell you e-books).

Good news for Jaguar/CameraMate Users

If you’ve got a Microtech Cameramate or ZiO and have been looking for OS X Jaguar drivers, Microtech’s site is not the place to look. It looks like a company called Dazzle has taken over the ZiO line of products and is continuing to develop drivers for them. Fortunately the ZiO Drivers on this page also work for USB CameraMate. I’ve tested and confirmed functionality with a 128MB CompactFlash card in OS X 10.2.3.

Apple updates iCal and iSync

Apple has posted iCal 1.0.2 and iSync1.0 to their servers.

A 10.2.2 Update has been served

Looks like Apple decided to quitely release a 10.2.2 update last night. The download weighs in at around 28MB. Enjoy.

Lots-o-updates

Several Updates/Releases:

Stuffit Expander 7.0 is out

Stuffit Expander goes 7.0 with support for LongFileNames (it’s about time). Interestingly enough this package only installs the expander app, and not any of the compression apps as the previously 6.5.1 version did.

Tinkertool 2.3.1

Tinkertool 2.3.1 and ASM 2.0.3,two of my favorite OS X UI enhancers have been updated for 10.2. (a.k.a. Jaguar). Go ahead, give ‘em a try.
