2 Days Left for Latest MacHeist Bundle: 12+ Mac Apps for $39

Leopard conspiracy...

Wasn't sure if I needed anything in this bundle but went ahead and bought it.
After downloading apps, I am still not sure if I needed anything in this bundle.

Out of the 16 Apps I got, only 7 worked on my computer (G5 iMac with Tiger), 3 of them are games and I don't play games:(.

The only app I think I'll use is Phoneview. I paid $39 for a $19.95 App...

The fact that several of the apps require Leopard should not be a surprise. If you click on each of the apps on the MH page and look under the screen shots at the right, you will see some requirements there.

Perhaps you will upgrade to Leopard at some point and be able to use all of the applications.
 
Thank you

I just clicked on my referral page on MH and found that someone used my referral code to purchase the bundle. Thank you. It was quite unexpected. I thought that the post with my code was too early in the thread to be seen by most and used.

So thank you to whomever used my referral code.

I'm going to put it up here one more time in the hopes of getting the other referral bonus. If someone purchases through this link, I will remove my referral link from both posts.

[Referral link removed; thank you to both people who used my link to purchase. Others, please use another of the referral links or the one at the beginning of the thread that benefits macrumors.]

Since I do not know your interests or needs, I cannot tell you what would be REALLY interesting for you or any other user. Look at the apps, read the descriptions, and decide if it is worth $39 to you. If you really want to, since some are shareware, download them and try it out before you buy. Its really that simple.

I have passed on other MacHeist Bundles in the past because I either owned the apps that would cause me to purchase the bundle, or I just wasn't that interested in any of them to spend the $$. Sounds like you might be in the latter boat, and if so, just take a pass. You are not missing out on anything if there is nothing in the bundle you will actually use. Me, this is the first MacHeist bundle I have actually purchased because there are at least 3 of these apps I see using on a regular basis.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to read...I will pass this one since there is nothing really useful for me at the moment...Times seems cool but I barely have time to read RSS news; SousChef could help me and my gf in cooking something, but we don't cook THAT much...I also had some interest in perhaps creating a podcast with BoinxTV, but don't have time for that either...as for the games, I yet have to play the boxed ones I have bought...well, maybe next year then... :rolleyes:
 
Espressssssoooooo

For any independent web designer people out there (especially in college and can't afford/doesn't want to download Dreamweaver) Espresso could be well worth the price alone being $80 normally.

Anybody who's used CSSEdit, the most ridiculously awesome CSS editor ever, can guess how easy and fresh an HTML, Javascript, etc. editor by the same guys will be.

And if you're like me you'll want World of Goo as well! Don't forget that 25% of purchases go to charity so help your fellow man while you helping yourself.

Now a somewhat shameful self-promotion: Buy It Through Here! or be super cool and support MacRumors link.

Wouldn't have been a surprise if I'd bothered to check all the individual application requirements. I didn't bother, as I've bought a few of these bundles from MacHeist or MacUpdate, and at most, I've only had one or two Leopard apps.
I was going to put off buying leopard as, so far, Tiger has worked fine.
Maybe I'll just have to upgrade.
Is Leopard that different that it is difficult to write apps for?
 
upgrades?

Anyone know if these are full version and are upgradeable when the time comes? Or are we stuck forever with the version we got?
 
Is Times crashing for anyone else? It worked the first time I opened it, but crashed when I tried to import my greader subscriptions. Since then it crashes every time I open it after about 10 seconds. I've tried restarting my computer, trashing the preferences, but no dice.
 
Download apps at your convenience!

Will they accept prepaid credit cards? Also, do I download the apps all at once, or do I download off of each respective site?

I just wanted to let you know that you have plenty of time to get your apps registered! I wish I would have waited on doing so because you may want to TRADE any app you already have or don't need. There is a trading app thread in the MacHeist forums. After the app is registered it is up to the developer if they will transfer the license.

I knew I would not use the iPhone app bc -SURPRISE! - I don't have an iPhone...

I was so fired up after I bought the bundle that I immediately downloaded everything one night and registered everything the next night. THEN I found out about the trading options. There are a lot of MacHeisters with extra apps...I still have not managed to register Kinemac but will wait a few days.

Also, if you have any problems with licensing - don't worry. Wait until the HUBBUB is over tonight...and go to the support pages. Each app has a separate support page. And there is another forum to discuss the apps to help you figure out how to use them.

BTW The servers are or were overloaded just before I posted this so if you are trying to buy the bundle in the last couple hours KEEP TRYING!

AND store your receipt that you receive via email in a safe place. There will also be a copy on the MacHeist front page to make things easier for awhile...
