Did you have a previous version installed ever?
Can you please provide me the logs (you can get it using Console)?

Same problem on Mac Pro and G5.

It launches, then as soon as goes to check network it crashes.
It locks up my machines before I can even get the crash logs. I have to
force a reboot of the machines.

Noodles,
If it locks the machines, something is wrong with your OS. Any app should not be able to lock the machine when using in user mode (without admin password).
The Myibay app is running in user mode only.

You can still see the console after a reboot.

Hi Sashka,
Sorry for the long delay, I had to loan my machine to my father as is Windows
computer died.

Here is the crash log I just got. It is not locking up the machine.

Thanks a lot for the console output, it helped to see what may be the issue.
Seems like the XCode I used is putting some command which is not get interpreted correctly due to possible conflict with other software packages you have on your Mac (and I don't have on mine so I don't see this issue when testing).

Are you consistently getting this error? If so, I'll update my XCode (if there is an update) and other linked libraries I use and will provide you with an updated binary to try.
At least, it's not a code issue, but more like the way of how XCode is building the binaries.

Hi,
It is pre-press notebook, but I get the same issue with a Mac
Pro and an Dual G5 2.5.
So I just revert to 0.8.2.

All machines are the same except two are intel and one is PPC.
Running NetBarrier, Little Snitch, and Font Agent Pro at
startup. All other apps at startup are Apple's that are part
of the Leopard OS. Thanks for the update. I was working on
a rendering engine for a packaging prototype and it kept taking
a dive. It turned out the author of the packaging software
made a XCOde change in the Binary and it was happy on the
Intel and PPC Mac.

Almost forgot, yes it is consistent. Every time it launches.
Thanks again.

Hi Sashka,
I just got a new 8 core Mac Pro and 27" Apple LED Cinema Display.
I plan to use the app on it. Seeing as it will be a totally
clean install I will try 0.9.2 and report back.

Was wondering if you have made any progress on resolving the
problems my console logs revealed?

I know you are very busy and I am not in a rush. The Firefox
extension and logging to into myibay.com to set snipes is
still working just fine.

Thank you for working on a Mac version. I know it will sell.
There are many places I can show people why your sniping
tools are at the top of the list for eBay buyers.

I recently got my new Macbook (I sold my last one by mistake when was cleaning out the house). A new shiny Unibody
I found out the reason for that, so I'm experimenting on the best fix now.
Anyway, the issue is related to 10.5 only. It should work fine on Snow Leo 10.6.

Also, Apple removed 10.4 SDK from the latest XCode so I need to find a solution to keep 10.4 compatibility (it will be still compatible with 10.5/PPC).

Good news,
It launched and logs in with no crash.

I will continue to work with it as we are doing Xmas shopping
on eBay.

Nice work.

Great!
Are you on 10.6 or 10.5 now? Did you use 0.9.2 or the recently released 0.9.3?

The reason I ask is because I finally figured out the crashing of 0.9.2 on 10.5 and updated it to 0.9.3.

Thanks for your feedback.

That was on 10.5.

Will be on the 10.6 machine in a day or two.

Just noticed a feature went missing with 0.9.3

With the 0.8.2 I could double click on an item in my list and
it would go right to that item page on ebay using the default
browser. Now it does not do that. A double click just does nothing.

Not a big deal, just reporting my findings.

I don't have my Mac on hands to try, but I think you have to click on the title cell in order for the browser to open.

Please confirm when you have a moment.

If that's so, I'll have to make the whole row clickable.

Hi,
Tried the title cell(section only) and still no go.

I do not have any firewall rules setup to stop any app from
opening a connection via a browser. I check the settings
in Virus Barrier X and Little Snitch. No rules are set at
all for myibay app.
Thanks.

That's not your Firewall..
Anyway, I checked it on my Mac and it appears that this feature is actually removed. I'll have it fixed for the next beta release.
Thanks for letting me know.
