Problems / 1.1.1 crashing - either a clue or an irrelevancy

« on: December 18, 2011, 03:25:38 PM »

This may be a complete coincidence but in the interests of bug-hunting I hope it might help and not just spread confusion. I've had 1.1.1 crash on me four times this month (new iMac and original MBA both running latest Lion upgrades) on each occasion teleport spontaneously quits and the icon disappears from the menu bar - twice on both machines: first one, then the other within a few seconds. Relaunches easily enough by re-checking the activation box in system prefs but I have to re-authenticate.
Console says;
Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
0   libobjc.A.dylib                  0x00007fff8f5e7158 objc_msgSend_vtable5

The only thing I can add that may or may not be relevant is that I'm pretty sure that I've been using Skype to make voice calls when it happens. I was curious as to whether anyone else is experiencing the same set of circumstances.

Problems / forum search broken/Lion question

« on: June 30, 2011, 04:36:33 AM »

I was searching the forum for 'Lion' and got an SQL Error

Does anyone know if Teleport 1.02 will work on Lion?

I still think Apple should buy this off Jul, bundle it in the OS and pay him a royalty.

Problems / TextExpander

« on: May 10, 2007, 07:44:31 AM »

Anyone using TextExpander and having problems when teleporting?

The app is VERY handy if you have got used to M$oft's auto-correcting wordprocessing software and have been typing 'teh' instead of 'the' (eg) for years, like I have.

It works just fine on all my machines unless I use it via teleport when I get extra letters from nowhere. So 'teh' turns into 'taveha' and 'fro', instead of turning into 'for' turns into 'favroa' - where is this extra 'ava' coming from?

Feedback / This probably shouldn't work - but it does...

I use Teleport all the time and just added a Cinema Display to my Intel Mac Mini, which freed up my Sony 15" to go back as a main screen for my iBook (which has a hack on it to make it video-span rather than mirror). Here's what it looks like all set up;

Teleport allows the bluetooth keyboard and a mighty mouse to control all three screens.

Now here's the unexpected bit - I have the Sony set up in Teleport to be at the bottom right of the main 23" on the Mini - like this;


Then I have my iBook G4 setup like this;


So I can move the mouse to the lower right part of the main screen, which teleports me to the right screen, move down the 15" and then left, which takes me onto the laptop screen. If I'm on the laptop and want to get back to the main screen, I quickly flip the cursor to the right screen and then up to the top left corner of the 15" and it appears back on the 23" (leaving the cursor on the top left corner which I have set to be a 'disable screen saver' hot corner).

Now I don't know about anyone else - but I think that is cool!

{update March '08 - I've now changed the iBook for an MBA - both machines are running 10.5.2 with Teleport 1.0 & it all works perfectly - even with two screens on the laptop - file drag and drop too - brilliant stuff}

Teleport is such a cool app that Apple should {have} paid Julien royalties and bundled it in with Leopard.
