Jettison App For Mac10/19/2021
For both applications, complying with Apple’s sandboxing and feature constraints to get them approved for sale would have required significant rewrites. And in Jettison’s case, it would also require that buyers download a separate helper app to enable its full functionality. Furthermore, if you decide to put your Mac to sleep, but you don't want to unplug your devices, then Jettison will automatically remount them. You can even tell this app which devices to disconnect by accessing the 'Preferences' menu and selecting the desired options (as displayed in the image below).While Jettison and HistoryHound are still supported and sold on the St. Clair Software website, I’ve pulled them from the Mac App Store. The versions that were in the Mac App Store were older revisions, and it just didn’t make business sense to rearchitect the apps to meet Apple’s current requirements for approval so they could be kept up-to-date.This app is a quiet unobtrusive utility that resides in the menubar and is excellent at what it does: lets you quickly mount or unmount drives of any sort that are connected to your Mac.The cost, lifespan, and investment in doing “their way” just wasn’t worth it.As far as what “J. You cannot get a license code from us to activate your copy of Jettison. You need to follow these instructions: Put all copies of Jettison in the Trash and empty the Trash.I got to be on the Simple Mobile Review Podcast: simplemobilereview.com. Much has been written about it already ( here, here, here, here and here, for example) so I won’t rehash it all – and despite years of “constructive criticism” from developers, Apple hasn’t fixed some major problems.I hope you’ll continue to purchase our applications, as well as those from other independent developers selling outside the Mac App Store. While it’s a little less convenient than the Mac App Store, it allows us to bring you the best software we can, and also gives us the opportunity to foster a two-way relationship with you – both of which really matter to us.I don’t blame you.
![]() I had the good fortune to be on the Simple Mobile Review Podcast this week – you should check it out at simplemobilereview.com. Today is Sunday October 2nd, 2011 and this is show number 332. Hi this is Allison Sheridan of the NosillaCast Mac Podcast, hosted at Podfeet.com, a technology geek podcast with an EVER so slight Macintosh bias. Bart also unveils his secure password generator at. In Chit Chat Across the Pond Bart explains the improvements being worked on by Moxie Marlinspike on the SSL Certificate problem. Rod Simmons of SimpleMobileReview.com reviews the Bowers & Wilkins C5 In-Ear Headphones. When I sent out the email to the NosillaCast News subscribers, I was very particular that spelling counts. Now here’s something funny about the whole contest. So let’s keep it simple, the winner is…Donald Stein, aka the Tall Man. The one thing I hate about giveaways is when the podcaster takes 23 minutes to read off the names, and you’d already know if you won. Jettn App Free Monitor OutI’m still reading the forum because it’s so fun to hear them rejoicing. Well THIS week, Apple sent out the firmware update for the problem! On the one hand I feel lucky that I got a free monitor out of the deal, but more importantly I’m happy for all of my compatriots with whom I drew comfort when Apple had abandoned us. Anyway, congratulations Donald, enjoy your Schosche Boom Cans! Monitor updateLast week I reported that I had received the new 27″ Apple Cinema Display because of the flickering problem on the 24″ display with a thunderbolt Mac. In looking back I also see that kevin Sadler was smart enough to spell it BOTH ways in his entry. Well guess what? I was spelling it WRONG! it DOES have a second “s” in it. Spelled it Scosche, so I wrote back to him that he’d never win if he didn’t spell it right. This is an ad-supported, touch screen only e-ink display reader for $99US. First of all, the Kindle I want for Christmas is the Kindle Touch. I’m really intrigued by what they’ve done. Now here’s an odd thing – the firmware update came out just a couple of days ago, and now the link is broken! What’s up with that Apple? Amazon Kindle AnnouncementsI’m sure by now you’ve heard that Amazon announced a whole new lineup of Kindles. They’ve taken the Android operating system and heavily customized it to make it Amazon-specific. That hardware was really nice, very responsive screen, same resolution as the iPad but at half the size the pixel density is actually doubled. Definitely something that solves a lot of problems for me.Now the sexiest device is the new Kindle Fire – a 7 inch tablet evidently based on the Blackberry Playbook hardware. The Kindle touch has the same size screen as the older Kindles, around 6 inches, but they simply removed all of the hardware below the screen where the keyboard used to be, so it’s even smaller with no sacrifice. I do go to the beach occasionally and I do sit out at a pool on most vacations, and the iPad is the wrong device because of the display AND I don’t want an $850 device out on the sand! I do buy all of my books through the Kindle app anyway, so I could sync the Kindle Touch before I leave over wifi so it knows where I left off reading on my iPad, throw it into my beach bag and I’m good to go. What I DO want is an inexpensive reader for the very few occasions a year when I want to read outside. ![]() Then they added movies, books, apps, piece by piece. Apple started with just music and the iPod and those two things together changed the music industry. How about TV shows? Amazon has that too! Magazines? Sure, Amazon has subscriptions for those too!In one single step, they created what has taken Apple years to pull together. People unwilling to shell out $500+ will have a way to continue that resistance by getting a Kindle Fire. I think Amazon is brilliant and they’ll make a fortune.Is this an iPad killer? No…but it may limit how low Apple can go into the market. A gateway drug if ever there was one. And then they priced that tablet at $200. It sure is handy that all the ports are on the side so I don’t have to stretch my way around the back like the iMac made me do.But herein lies a small problem to be solved. While I did on occasion move my iMac out of my study to the dining room table, it was something of a mission undertaken as a project rather than on a whim.Now I frequently carry my MBP up to the lounge and sit in front of the TV with it. Allister here from New Zealand again.As I’ve just bought my first Mac laptop, a shiny new MacBook Pro 15”, I’ve had to begin adapting my habits that I built up in almost 5 years using an iMac. Time will tell, but I think Amazon has a hit on their hands with the Kindle Fire and I think they’re continued progress on the e-ink models will draw in people like me – $100, why not? Allister on JettisonHello Allison and the NosillaCastaways. Roland gp 10 for mac driverAs far as I know, I have various forms of video on a couple of them and clones of old and new Macs and possibly clones of clones. Hey! That’s after I consolidated! Don’t ask why I have so many. At last count, including my Time Machine drive, I have 8 partitions on 5 physical drives. Although… The problem I have solved is how to deal with all my external hard drives. For the princely sum of $1.99 (US) you get (another!) menu bar icon that gives you a small number of actions in a drop down menu.The software’s party trick is that it is supposed to be able to automatically eject the drives when you tell your laptop to sleep. The solution I found for the rest is a small app in the Mac App Store called Jettison. One step I took was to attach one of the drives to my Airport Extreme, as it contains the video I’m most likely to want access to when undocked. Yes, OS X will let me unmount the 5 physical drives, but it’s still a pain. ![]() I jumped at this idea because it’s such an easy topic for me. I told him I’d like to talk about how to make really great documentation, to help out family and friends. He asked me to think up a topic and right away I knew what I wanted to cover. In any case Bart asked me if I’d be up for doing one of the segments with him, and I thought that simple 50 minute commitment sounded grand.
