Downloaded, installed then got the Java error everyone is talking about. Found the beta 1 and downloaded, replaced the app in my apps folder and now the program wont' start. then found the beta 2 and still have the same issue, program won't even start. Is there any file dependencies I can destroy for a clean install other than the app?

Seems wierd?

To reinstall from a clean slate, delete the ".pulpTunes" directory under your home dir. After reinstalling, if it still doesn't run, open the console and cd into the directory where pulpTunes is installed, and do

Code: [Select]

java -jar PulpTunes.jarThat should provide an error message to help with the diagnose. If you need more instructions on how to do any of the above, let me know what OS you're on.

Cheers,

Oh I just realized you're on OS X. The .pulpTunes dir isn't visible in the finder so you need to erase it from the console. And then cd into pulpTunes.app...

Thanks, found the .pulptunes dir and trashed it, then reintalled. same issue as above. now though that .pulptunes dir doesn't appear. also CD'd into applications folder and ran the command, but no file present.

would like to use the service, but seems crazy that it won't even open up

[alpeb]

actually you need to cd into
pulpTunes.app/Contents/Resources/Java

I have two Mac.  On one Mac, every version has launched and worked.  Unfortunately, on the Mac with the iTunes library I want to use, it won't launch with 1.2.0 Beta 2 or Beta 3.  It works fine with 1.2.0 Beta 1 and earlier versions.

I've tried deleting the .pulpTunes directory, but when I try running Beta 2 or Beta 3, it doesn't even try to make a new one.  It's weird.  It doesn't give any error message, it just doesn't do anything.

This is on 10.5.8 fully up-to-date with everything that is 10.5.8.  I'm debating about upgrading this machine to 10.6...my other machine is 10.6 and Beta 2 and Beta 3 launch fine on it.

A of the beta 2, pulpTunes requires java 1.6. On an up-to-date Leopard java 1.6 is installed, but it looks like the default is java 1.5. You need to set the default to java 1.6 in the java preferences. A quick googling revealed some instructions:

Let me know if this does the trick.

I ended up just upgrading to Snow Leopard.  It works like a charm now.  I tried following those instructions first to see if it would work and may be of use to others, but either I didn't follow them correctly, or they didn't work.

I'm having the problem regarding the JavaApplicationStub described in this blog post: http://blog.ej-technologies.com/2009/06/install4j-and-java-for-mac-os-x-v105.html

Looks like you guys need to repackage for 64-bit?

I can't reproduce the problem. Can you please clarify:
- What OS version you're on
- What's your pulpTunes version
- What is the exact error message you're receiving
- How are you launching pulpTunes?
