Browsers Update on PowerPC

A while ago we mentioned Browsers for PowerPC in few of our posts.  We also mentioned a few updates from those Browsers, because we believe it is important to have applications updated as much as possible.  Here is our list of recently updated Browsers, which are probably the Big Four for PowerPC, these days.

* TenFourFox – 17.0 – http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com or https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/37761/tenfourfox 

* AuroraFox – 19.0a2 – http://aurorafox.wordpress.com/ or https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/43362/aurorafox 

* SeaMonkey – 2.14_1 – https://code.google.com/p/seamonkey-ppc/

* Leopard WebKit – 129056 – http://code.google.com/p/leopard-webkit/ or http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/43456/leopard-webkit

Tinderbox – Organize Your Notes on PowerPC

Tinderbox – 5.10.0 – 10.5 – Leopard PowerPC. (Demo $249.00) – http://www.eastgate.com/Tinderbox/

I had second thoughts about posting about this application because in my opinion, it’s very expensive.  Then I reflected and realized that it’s not my job to decide what is expensive for others…we all have different budgets and life circumstances.  That aside, Tinderbox is a great application to store and organize your notes, ideas and plans.  Version 5.10.0 its PowerPC friendly so I couldn’t pass it by without mentioning them here on Mac PowerPC.

This is a very powerful and personal application that creates interactive diagrams to construct events, plans, projects, etc.  Ultimately, it should make the complicated task of analyzing and organizing your life very easy to tackle.  Give it a try and let us know how it worked out for you.

You can download Tinderbox here: http://tinderbox.m.en.softonic.com/mac

MetaX Tag Your Movies

 

MetaX is a media data tagging application for MP4 and their derivatives including Quicktime movies etc.  One of it’s coolest features is that it will automatically search the internet for your movies’ cover or posters!  Your movies never looked so good and organized.  This fantastic application allows you to keep things organized.  As I like things very organized, when I saw this free application I couldn’t let it go!

MetaX 2.3.0 – PowerPC Tiger

SyncMate – Sync Your Devices On PowerPC

In recent post I’ve reviewed a fantastic program called SyncMate and today, I’m pleased to advise that we’ve received correspondence from the developers of SyncMate advising that they’ve prepared a build of their program that we can use again! With this launch, they’ve also provided us with some important recommendations and things to consider:

* This is a special build for PowerPC users only, it’s an old build and it’s not longer updated. (All improvements were added into SyncMate4 – Intel only).

* Expert version of this build can be purchased at a discounted price ($29.95) directly from the build.

* Email for support questions – [email protected], Please do not forget to mention that you are using the special build for PowerPC Mac (PPC Macs)

* This special build has another set of supported devices and types of connection (compared to SyncMate 4). The full list of devices that are supported in this special build can be found in SyncMate interface (users will need to launch free version of SyncMate, click Add connection button and SyncMate wizard will be shown)

* Mac PowerPC strongly recommends that you test the Free version of SyncMate first to make sure which of your devices are supported and which plugins are offered for each device and then upgrade to the Expert version later.

Any questions concerning paid version – recommend that you direct them to SyncMate’s Support team first. This is also a general recommendation for all SyncMate users.

I highly recommend that PowerPC users test this amazing program out, and see if it fits your needs, like it does mine! Thanks SyncMate!

One thing that I really like is to be able to sync Android by Wi-Fi, cable or Bluetooth

My original Post Nov/04

Attention all PowerPC users: I think that the time to sync data in our Mac with multiple devices has come! I recently got an e-mail from the SyncMate team telling me that their application supports PowerPC and right away I started scouring the internet for more information. Here is what I found out (just to start):

* SyncMate (Free version) allows syncing Contacts (Address Book & Entourage 2008), iCal (Entourage 2008) and Mac OS with Android, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile devices, Nokia S40 phones, other Mac and Windows computers, iOS devices (iPhones, iPods, iPads), any mounted storage, MTP devices, PlayStation Portable. SyncMate also supports Google, Dropbox, iCloud, and Yahoo! accounts synchronization. Also includes SMS reader plugin. And this is the FREE version of this amazing application, but if you decide to “Go Pro” with:

* SyncMate Expert will be able to sync everything from the free version (of course), plus iTunes, iPhoto, Safari and Firefox bookmarks, Folders between devices automatically, Entourage, Mail, Notes, ToDo’s. You can create, send, search, delete and export text messages, also allows you to convert videos to AVI, MPG, MP4, WMV, ASF, 3GP and audio files to MP3 and WAV.

Other cool features are that you can use this application via USB, WI-FI, Bluetooth and Ethernet!

Special thanks to one of our readers Andre F. for sharing this application with us!

I don’t have iPhone 5 and I’m not planning to get any iPhone or device with iOS6 soon, so if you guys have it and want to share if SyncMate sync iOS6 / iPhone5 we really appreciate.

Disk Drill Recovery Files on Your PowerPC

Mistakes can happen any time.  I think one of the most common catastrophic events to happen on a computer is the loss of data.  It’s so easy to accidentally delete something, and sometimes things just disappear out of the blue and I have no idea how.  But with Disk Drill your data will be more protected because this application protects your files from accidental deletion with Recovery Vault, and also recovers lost data from Mac disks.  It’s totally user friendly and when you delete something on your computer Recovery Vault will make it simple for you to recover that data, in the event you change your mind.

*Disk Drill 1.8.198 – http://www.cleverfiles.com/mac-data-recovery.html – (Basic Version: Free / Pro Version: $89 / Expert Version $169 / Enterprise Version $299).  PowerPC friend 10.5 / Leopard.  Recover damaged, corrupted and deleted data from HFS, HFS+, FAT, NTFS and other file systems…

If you are asking yourself what Recovery Vault is, then you should check out this link that better explains this technology.   http://help.cleverfiles.com/why-recovery-vault/

Which one is right for you?  Check out this link: http://www.cleverfiles.com/pro.html

Data is very important and if you have to spend a small amount of money to make sure that your files are safe and protected, I recommend that you at least think about Recovery Files and consider the options that best fits your needs.

Tiger users 10.4.11 can instal the version 1.8.203 or 1.3.123 –  We would like to inform that Disk Drill won’t work on Tiger OSX.  Some of our readers had test and none of those worked on Tiger OS X.

SyncMate News

Some of you guys might have noticed that I removed the post “SyncMate – Sync Your Devices On PowerPC” because this morning I received an e-mail from SyncMate asking me to do so because they are actively working on a new version of 3.6 compatible with PowerPC Leopard 10.5.  This is really a great step for us PowerPC users, because the recent 4.0 version is Intel only and SyncMate has decided to re-release 3.6 just for us!  Thumbs up guys, and keep an eye on http://www.sync-mac.com/and let’s hope this update comes with the ability to sync iPhone5, iPod Nano, iEtc.

Thank you guys.
