New versions of iGadget, iRepo and TuneJack

Mark — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 13:25:00 -0500

All of our iPod utility applications have been updated. The most important change is an update in all the applications to work with jailbroken iPhones and iPod touches that are running the 3.0 firmware. The applications with this update include iGadget, iGadget X, iRepo, iRepo X and TuneJack.

iGadget, iGadget X, iRepo and iRepo X have all been updated to now include a \"show only songs not in iTunes\" checkbox on the music transfer plugin. Checking this checkbox caused the application to filter the song list to only show songs that are on the selected iPod but are not in your iTunes library. This feature was added by user request.

iGadget, iGadget X, iRepo, iRepo X and TuneJack now all have a new Support submenu under the Help menu of the application. This submenu includes a number of options that can be useful to make support easier in case you run into an issue and need to contact Purple Ghost support. The items in this menu do not need to be used unless directed to do so by Purple Ghost support.

Another feature requested by users has been added to iGadget X and iRepo X. This feature is already in the Windows versions of these applications. That is, you can now right-click (or control-click with a single button mouse) on the playlist listing of the Playlist Transfer plugin to display a popup menu. This menu contains options to check all the playlists and uncheck all the playlists. This makes it so you now don\'t have to manually check every playlist if you want to transfer them all.

iGadget, iRepo and TuneJack Updated

Mark — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 11:08:20 -0500

With the release of the prior versions of iGadget, iRepo and TuneJack (Windows versions only) to work with the new iPod touch and iPhone 3.0 firmware, a bug was introduced that could cause errors when used with iPhones and iPod touches running old versions of the firmware. These update fix this bug.

iGadget, iRepo and TuneJack Updated (Mac and Windows)

Mark — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:44:00 -0500

With the recent release of iPhone and iPod touch 3.0 firmware by Apple, iTunes stores information on the iPod touch and iPhone differently than it did before. This resulted in iGadget, iRepo and TuneJack (both Mac and Windows versions) to not see songs/movies/etc added to an iPod touch or iPhone running the new 3.0 firmware.

I just released new versions of iGadget, iGadget X, iRepo, iRepo X and TuneJack that work with this new 3.0 firmware on the iPod touch and iPhone.

iRingtunes X Updated

Mark — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 21:01:00 -0500

A new version (2.2) of iRingtunes X has just been released. This updates iRingtunes X to fix an issue that could have caused iRingtunes X to report that it was unable to find the iTunes library.

iGadget, iRepo, iRingtunes and TuneJack updated

Mark — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 05:59:33 -0500

All the Windows applications (iGadget, iRepo, iRingtunes and TuneJack) have all had new versions released. The main change in all four of these applications is that they now use a new license system. The old license keys will continue to work. However, if a reinstall is ever required, a checkbox will need to be checked on the License window to enable entering the old style license keys.

If anyone experiences any trouble with the new license system (or any of the other changes) please send an email using the online support form.

New website

Mark — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 05:56:16 -0500

We just launched this new website. We're now on a completely different server with a brand new design.

We hope the transition goes smoothly but we know some things may have slipped through the cracks during the transition. So, please, if you find anything not working quite right, please let us know.

Windows app problems with iTunes 9 and iPhone/iPod touch

Mark — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 05:41:09 -0500

We have discovered that our Windows applications (iGadget, iRepo and TuneJack) are not working with iPhone and iPod touch devices after installing iTunes 9.

We are working on a fix for this issue and hope to have new versions of all these applications early next week that resolves the issue.

For now, if you are running any of these applications, please do not install iTunes 9 until new versions of the applications are available.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Changed iRepo X and iGadget X to 32-bit

Mark — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:05:21 -0500

Versions 3.1 of iRepo X and iGadget X were accidentally built as 64-bit applications. This caused them to not run on some older systems. These both have now been built as 32-bit applications so they can be run on all the supported platforms.
