Cocktail for Leopard 4.1.3

Posted Jul 2nd 2008 3:00PM by Robert Palmer
Filed under: Software

Cocktail, the power-user's system housekeeping app, has been updated to version 4.1.3, and now features support for Leopard 10.5.4.

The utility lets you enable and disable Spotlight indexing, disk journaling, kiosk mode, and a host of other "undocumented" options for the Finder, Dock, Safari, Mail, and many other applications.

In addition to 10.5.4 support, this update fixes a Firefox 3 bookmark bug, a crash while clearing user caches, and an issue where the uninstaller may fail to reset some network settings.

Cocktail 4.1.3 requires Leopard, and is universal binary. The update is free to registered users, and a single user license is $14.95 (with other licensing options available). Earlier versions of the app for Tiger and Panther are also available for download.

Cocktail Tiger edition goes to 4.0.1, Leopard edition 4.0.2

Just in case you haven't yet upgraded to Leopard, but still love using Cocktail (that crazy mix of Unix functions for OS X), Maintain has released version 4.0.1 of their Tiger edition. They've fixed some compatibility problems with QuickTime, and added support for clearing font caches in Microsoft Office 2008. The update is now available from their website, and is, they say, "strongly recommended" for all Cocktail (Tiger edition) users.

Cocktail's Leopard edition is at version 4.0.2-- that update fixed these same problems last week, as well as fixing a network optimization bug for DSL (PPPoE) users.

Cocktail 4.0

Cocktail 4.0 is out and brings to this system utility a host of new features. The biggest item in Cocktail 4.0 is Leopard support. 4.0 also adds Sparkle updating, new Automator actions, better help, and lots of bug fixes.

Cocktail allows you to tweak a dizzying number of things about OS X. This is a must have tool for all you Mac geeks out there, and it is a steal at $14.95 for a single license.

MacUpdate rolls out a bundle-- $50 for 7 apps

MacUpdate has another one of these bundle promotions going on-- is it just me, or is Mac software the only place (besides, say, pyramid schemes), where increasing bundles like this are sold? I don't show up at the grocery store to buy some oranges only to find that they're cheaper because 10,000 people bought them earlier that day.

Anyway, the bundle's not too bad, even without the extra promotional stuff. Right now, for $50, you get copies of:

SRS iWOW, an iTunes audio enhancement plugin
GarageSale, the eBay client
Cocktail, the utility that our own Scott McNulty calls "indispensible"
ProfCast, for lecture recording
Amadeus Pro, for multitrack sound editing
Fetch, an FTP client
Graphic Converter X, a useful little image editor

And then if the promo pans out, you can get more software out of the deal-- if a certain number of people (up to 10k) buy the bundle, then Little Snitch, Intaglio, and TechTool Pro get added to the bundle. With a week to go, they've only sold about 700 (for Little Snitch) today, so there's no guarantee you'll see any of the extra stuff, but the bundle might be worth it just for the apps above.

And MacHeist, always ready to jump on the hype train, is trying to add a little extra bonus onto all of this.

[ Thanks to everyone who sent this in! ]

Cocktail 3.8 brings over 100 new features

Filed under: Software

Cocktail 3.8, the Tiger Edition of the indispensable Mac utility, brings with it a host of new features. Not least amongst these new features is a gorgeous UI overhaul, which makes Cocktail not only useful but a pleasure to use. For the uninitiated Cocktail is a small app that lets you control a number of things about your Mac, which normally are beyond the powers of the everyday Mac user.

Beyond the new look, Cocktail 3.8 boasts over 100 new features, including:

Fine grained control of Spotlight (you can enable/disable Spotlight for disks)
Lots of new logging
New ways to tweak the UI of a variety of Apple apps (including Safari, Mail, and Finder)

A single user license costs $14.95, though there is a free trial available.

Thanks, nevrozel.

Cocktail 3.7 adds Intel compatibility

Filed under: Software

The popular utility Cocktail has been updated to version 3.7 today. This version adds updated Automator support and improves compatibility with Intel-based Macs and Mac OS 10.4.4.

The rollout of all of these new universal binaries is giving me déjà vu. It feels like the transition from OS 9 to OS X all over again. This is a free update for registered users. A single user license is $14.95US. Cocktail 3.6.5 requires Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server 10.4 (or later). Cocktail 3.5.4 (Panther Edition) requires Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server 10.3 - 10.3.9, and Cocktail 3.5 (Jaguar Edition) requires Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server 10.2 - 10.2.8.

Cocktail 3.6.5 (Tiger edition) available

Today Cocktail released version 3.6.5 of the Tiger edition of its OS X utility (is it me or are these folks fast and furious with their updates?). Cocktail puts a pretty face on all sorts of useful disk utilities, system tools, network tools and a lot more. Version 3.6.5 is built on a universal binary to run natively on PowerPCs and MacTels. It's a must-have for many Mac OS X geeks.

This is a free update for registered users. A single user license is $14.95US. Cocktail 3.6.5 requires Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server 10.4 (or later). Cocktail 3.5.4 (Panther Edition) requires Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server 10.3 - 10.3.9, and Cocktail 3.5 (Jaguar Edition) requires Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server 10.2 - 10.2.8.
