In the wake of iTunes ios 5 being a collossal headache, does any one know a version that works today?

Question by Corbin: In the wake of iTunes ios 5 being a collossal headache, does any one know a version that works today?
Can any one point me in the right direction? I need help finding a version of iTunes that actually works after download. I am so sick of seeing error messages. My computer is a fairly new Dell 560 desktop and is more than capable of handling iTunes so that’s not the problem. The problem is after “successfull downloads” I am getting Error messages every time I try to install iTunes. I have uninstalled all those broken iTune downloads as well as everything that came with it, or anything that said “Apple” for that matter. I used the registry cleaner and all the blah, blah, blah tricks that go with that for ridding your computer of iTunes, after which I tried a fresh new download of iTunes and nuthin’, just stupid error messages saying it couldnt install. What gives?! I am willing to go back to an older version(which I foolishly deleted in anticipation of the new ios 5) But which one works with my type of pc?, I just tried version 9 for win32 and it told me I need a version of win64, I’m pretty sure my computer has both 32 and 64bit versions because I use the 64 google chrome and my girlfriend uses the 32 bit bing web surfers.(if that makes sense). Anyway I use Windows 7 64bit on a dell 560 pc which version of iTunes will work best for me? I cannot keep doing this trial and error method of finding a usable iTunes version because for one thing I am a snails step ahead of dial-up and these downloads use up a lot of expensive MB’s

Version 10+ is fine but will probably want to check this article before you go completely nuts if you are having any trouble!!

http://zardozz.com/zz/2008/04/how-to-completely-uninstall-and-remove-all-traces-of-itunes.html

iTunes can be very difficult to uninstall properly because of a number of registry keys left behind by other pieces of software that it works with that also need to be removed. The article explains what you have to do step by step if you can’t uninstall iTunes using the ADD/REMOVE programs. If you don’t uninstall it properly you can get all sorts of errors when trying to install a new copy… even if you try to write over your existing copy. It saved me hours of aggravation and I did not lose my music!

Mobile Magnus Reveals New Game in the Works: Paddy Run

On July 4, 2012, In General Discussion, By T2Rman


Duluth, GA (PRWEB) May 25, 2012

Mobile Magnus, the developer of the widely popular iPhone/iPad gaming app Leapin Leprechaun, has a brand new game in development. When it is released, the new Apple gaming app, Paddy Run, will feature the same lead leprechaun character fans have come to know and love but will incorporate more exciting banshee-chase scenes and breathtaking Irish scenery.

The chase aspect found in Paddy Run is a proven success formula. When Angry Birds Rio, a spinoff of the fastest-growing mobile game of all time, released its updated version 1.3.0, it featured a new episode called Airfield Chase that consisted of 15 new levels. Now, following a similar strategy, Mobile Magnus is maintaining its popular Paddy the Leprechaun character and spinning him off into the chase-sequence Paddy Run app.

A legacy game of Mobile Magnuss bestselling gaming application, Leapin Leprechaun, Paddy Run isnt the ordinary chase game, however. Its got an Irish twist built in. Leapin Leprechauns legions of fans will find in Paddy Run all the smack-talking personality they came to love in Paddy. Indeed, hell once again steal the scene in the starring role, but this time around, thwarted by a band of crazed banshees, hell assume even more of a spitfire attitude.

In this latest incarnation, Paddy gets all-out pissed when he discovers the banshees have stolen his gold, explains Mobile Magnuss lead developer William McCarthy. Banshees come from Irish mythology, where they are feminine spirits. Often depicted as fairies, according to legend they are omens of death that begin to wail whenever someone is about to die; hence the popular American connotation of screaming banshees.

In Paddy Run, Paddy wants his gold back something fierce, but his foes are not about to give it up without a fight, McCarthy relates. iPhone and iPad gamers will delight over the scenery as Paddy chases the banshees through an Irish forest and collects the gold they drop while hes in hot pursuit.

Collecting these golden coins is key to a high Paddy Run score. The more gold you get, the more points you rack up. But its the banshees trickery along the way that will make Paddy Run as irresistible as its predecessor, Leapin Leprechaun. Paddy will face numerous dangerous traps along the way that players must help him avoid. As he eludes these snares, hell let spew the feisty back talk that helped Leapin Leprechaun leap into the iTunes App Stores Top 10 list.

To learn more about Mobile Magnus, the developer of the soon-to-be-released Paddy Run legacy game, or for more information on the bestselling game that inspired the spinoff, check out Leapin Leprechaun on the web at http://leapinleprechaun.com/#.

ALM Works Releases Interactive Desktop Client for JIRA Issue Tracker

On March 4, 2012, In General Discussion, By T2Rman


St.Petersburg, Russia (PRWEB) January 29, 2007

ALM Works today announces the release of JIRA Client 1.0, the first version of a handy desktop client for Atlassian JIRA issue tracking and project management system. This client offers interactive user interface, powerful search, offline mode and other capabilities that expand JIRA functionality to organize issue tracking for more convenience and efficiency.

According to Igor Sereda, the founder of ALM Works, the concept behind JIRA Client is to make issue tracker a more powerful and, at the same time, more easy-to-use tool. “JIRA Client is a valuable companion for frequent JIRA users. Its interactive interface saves your time that otherwise would be spent on browsing web pages,” says Mr. Sereda. “JIRA Client has powerful search capabilities and unique hierarchical organization of search filters, which let you immediately grasp project state and concentrate on the work to be done.”

Mr. Sereda continues, “JIRA Client may be used offline. Thanks to JIRA Client caching issues on your hard drive, you can now search, create and modify issues when JIRA server is not available – during business trips or on-site with a customer.”

It’s Now Possible to Work with Issues Away from the Network

JIRA Client downloads issues from JIRA and stores them in a local cache, allowing users to view and edit issues regardless of server’s availability. Any changes that are not marked “draft” are uploaded to JIRA whenever the server is reachable. JIRA Client also periodically polls server for changes and download new or modified issues. These changes are automatically reflected on the JIRA Client’s interface – in issue counters and issue tables.

More Powerful and Structured Search Improves Issue Tracking

JIRA Client has powerful search with complete Boolean logic processor, which allows users to build any combination of filters, grouped by AND, OR and NOT operations. JIRA Client also lets each user organize search queries into hierarchy: when a “child” query is run, the results of its “parent” are taken, and the query’s filter is applied to them.

Each downloaded query is displayed along with an issue counter, which shows the number of issues that pass the query’s filter. This feature provides users with an immediate and customizable perspective on the project state and lets them quickly find out what they were working on last time.

Neatly Organized Issues Allow to Concentrate on Work to Be Done

JIRA Client shows an issue list and selected issue’s details on the same screen, allowing users to quickly browse through issues without losing context. It’s possible to work with multiple lists of issues at the same time. Linked issues may be arranged into a hierarchy. For example, if issues table contains duplicate issues, all duplicates may be positioned “under” their original issue.

JIRA Client may be used to update issues and to submit new issues. Links between issues may be created by dragging “source” issues and dropping them over “target” issues, or by using copy-and-paste operation. JIRA Client makes it easy to apply workflow actions to a number of issues, move one or more issues to another project or reassign them.

Pricing and Availability

JIRA Client corporate license price is $ 169 per user. ALM Works also offers floating, academic and personal licenses. JIRA Client is free for use in open-source projects. All customers are entitled to free lifetime patches and minor updates, and to limited-time technical support and major upgrades.

JIRA Client 1.0 runs under Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista, Linux and Apple Mac OS X 10.4. The client is compatible with Atlassian JIRA version 3.3 or later, any edition.

JIRA Client downloads and free time-limited evaluation is available from the product web site.

Founded in 2004, ALM Works Ltd is a St.Petersburg, Russia based software company. ALM Works specializes in the development of consistent and interoperable software for application lifecycle management and software development process.

Q&A: How do I download an attachment to microsoft word instead of works?

On May 22, 2011, In Tips, Tricks and How-To, By admin

Question by bluetightsman20: How do I download an attachment to microsoft word instead of works?
I recently bought a new computer (Windows Vista) and have both microsoft word and works on my computer, but everytime I try to download an attachment (a word doc.)from my email to word, my computer automatically assumes I want it in works, and then it can’t open.

It gives me a message that says: “The file format may not be supported by any of the installed converters.” Any advice?

Best answer:

Answer by Mcgoo
You need to change the association for .DOC files.

This is directing the file to Works, which uses the same .doc extensions, but are totally different from the .doc files created by word.

If you go into Windows Explorer, there should be a menu option to change the associations for these files. Search your help files if needed. You will find a list of hundreds of file extensions, and the program assigned to open them.

Look up the .doc and change the assigned program to be Office Word, instead of Works – problem solved.

How to Make Your Windows OS Look Like Mac OSX Leopard (works with all versions of Windows) Part 2

On March 3, 2011, In Tips, Tricks and How-To, By admin

This is a tutorial that I made for people like me who want to keep the reliability and software compatibility of Windows® Operating Systems and retrieve the slick GUI interface of Apple Mac OSX™ Operating Systems. This is compatible with all versions of Windows (XP/Vista/7), and was made for people who like to customize their desktop beyond recognition to the point at which only they can remember that it was once something everybody has now. I was looking all around the Internet for ways to make this Mac interface happen, but apparently it requires the finest Googler and the ability to piece it all together to be able to make something even similar to this even happen. Now yes, I know, I did not get the window skin and the Maximize, Minimize, and Close buttons, but that is something that was available for download a long time ago, and now cannot be downloaded for some reason. I looked on the creators page, and the download isnt even available, so it is not possible currently. However, if you know a way this is possible, please tell me, so I can piece together another tutorial including all of the elements for the full package (yes, I will give you credit for the information).
