UPDATE: This issue has been resolved (read the comments)

I got this little issue that’s been bugging me for a while now (since about October)

I LOVE TWITTERRIFIC! However, ever since switching to Leopard, I haven’t been able to use it. It starts up just fine and runs well for a little bit. But once I close the window (leaving it running in the background), It freezes! It’s a weird freeze though. I can type in the entry box, nothing shows up, but a click of the mouse will update the window. This goes for everything! The window just stops updating until I click it. I can’t even bring up the prefs window without clicking the little wrench twice. It really is frustrating.

I have the latest version, I reinstalled several times and nothing! I have tried searching the internet several times to see if anyone else was having the same problem and come up dry. Is this only me or have any of you experienced this as well. What am I doing wrong?

I miss my twitterrific, will we ever be able to be together again?

Our pal James comes back with another “Ask iBAM” question for the masses. This time it’s about web design Mac apps. This should be a good hearty conversation starter. There’s a ton of apps out there and everyone has their fav’s. What’s your weapon of choice? Here’s James’ question:

Got another question for you and the iBAM readers. As I sent in earlier I am preparing to make the switch to a mac with a new 24″ iMac. I was mainly waiting for MacWorld just in case anything minor was announced for the iMac. I am a freelance web designer and developer right now and have been browsing apps for the Mac for what I do. I’m wanting to get the opinions of your readers on which ones would be the best to get. I’m not used to anything special as now I use Notepad++ for all coding and FileZilla for ftp. Some of the apps I’m currently looking at include CSSEdit, Transmit, Coda and YummyFTP. What are your opinions on these? Would Coda be the best route with the its editor and transmit or does CSSEdit have an advantage? Basically looking for the word of fellow web designers on what you like about each or prefer between them. I also used to do freelance video editing in the past but time hasn’t allowed me to in awhile but plan to get back into it. What apps are recommended or what apps do you guys use? Or is Final Cut the best/only choice? Thanks for the help. [Continued]

I received another nifty ask iBAM request today from James. He’s got some questions about Parallels vs. Boot Camp. I thought this would be a really good conversation starter for the Ask iBAM section on the site. So… here’s his question:

I am planning to purchase my first mac here in the next few weeks. It will be a new 24″ iMac. What would be your choice between Parallels and Boot Camp? I know with Boot Camp you have to restart to switch between OSX and Windows but this isn’t a big deal for me as I don’t actually plan to use Windows for anything but would still like it there. Are there any other major differences between Parallels and Boot Camp (such as resource usage, speed of programs in Windows, etc). The price isn’t a big deal for Parallels and I’m willing to pay it if its going to make a huge difference besides restarting.

So there you have it… Let’s discuss

I just received another email from a frustrated new Mac user. Lara is having a hard time with iWeb and since I’m not much f an iWeb user, I thought I’d throw it out on the table for you guys to take a stab at. Here’s her email.

Hi,

I just built myself a website on iweb and I do have a .mac account, I’ve been
trying to get the site published and It’s just not working.  I followed the
instructions I got from .mac about the changes I needed to make at my domain
host (yahoo).  I think they left some info out in the directions to publish.
Have you any advise or run into anyone with this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Here’s another user question I received from iBAM reader, Khara. Seeing that I don’t have my iPhone yet, I thought I’d throw it out to you guys to chew on. Any help for Khara?

I have an iphone and facebook question. How do I send mobile uploads to facebook from my iphone? Sure, sounds like it would be easy, just e-mail to photos@facebook.com or notes@facebook.com. However, when I send a photo to photos@facebook.com, it sends through my e-mail on my phone, so a message from facebook gets sent to me that reads:

“Sorry, we cannot support uploads sent via email. You sent from Yahoo. If you are sending from a phone, it must be configured to send directly.”

I googled my little heart out but couldn’t get the answer. Surely someone else has this problem.

Thanks for your time,

Khara
