Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / January 2005Stuffit only works with MagicMenu or ContextualMenu
I have reinstalled after trashing every pref, application support, etc. I could find. WHen I double click any type compressed file, Stuffit just hops in Dock and pointer spins. I must Force Quit. Like wise, when I try opening any of the appsby double-clicking them, the same happens. I can expand/compress by clicking onec on the item in Finder and using the MagicMenu in the Menu Bar or right-clicking the item in Finder. SD 8.0.1 OS X 10.3.7 1 GHz G4 1.25 GB RAM I have done the usual diagnostics and repairs (Permissions, TechTool, DiskWarrior). Any ideas?

How long have you tried waiting, and have you got version checking enabled in the various stuffit apps? Apparently the server to which they connect to check for updates has been gone for several days and they don't handle the absence gracefully.

It appears that the hangup is version tracker in Stuffit looking over the internet. The solution is to wait until it finally starts (it will eventually), and then open the Stuffit preferences. The last (or next to last) icon to the right is a check box for the update tracker. Uncheck this, and Stuffit should then start up just fine. Mine does. William Clark |
