What are the known limitations of the Mac version of TntMPD?

Filed under: [Edit Tags]

There are some known limitations/issues with using TntMPD on the Mac:

  1. Command+Q (Quit X11) will close TntMPD without giving it a chance to save changes.
  2. Command+C, X, V, etc. won't work to manipulate the clipboard.  The Control key should be used instead.
  3. The Community View doesn't work correctly. (Works great as of TntMPD for Mac 2.1.78!)
  4. TntMPD must be closed to open/sync to a .tntmpd file from Finder.  (Can't start a second instance.)
  5. TntMPD on the Mac offers no equivalent to Sync w/ Outlook like it does on Windows.

Does it sync with Outlook 2011 for mac, if so how do you do it.

It doesn't sync w/ Outlook 2011 for Mac.  For now, it only syncs w/ Outlook 2000 or newer on the Windows side of things.  :(

When I use TnT on my Mac, the tabs at the top that lead to the drop-down menus all show up as squares.  Squares are also showing up to the left and underneath the x and y axes on the MPD giving chart instead of numbers.  Is there a way to fix this?

nevermind, i found the answer on the forum.  thanks!

I find that certain functions of the program frequently freeze on my Mac. For example, I can't click on the various tabs for individuals but I can use the arrow keys. Or sometimes it just won't let me click on anything. I have to quit and restart the program frequently. Do you know why this might be?

@boydr1, I'm not sure what's going on.  Is this problem consistent?  Maybe you could switch over to the forums and start a new topic (click where it says "Write a new post") and provide much more detail.  Thanks!

I am having the same problem. Not much more detail to add. It freezes up a lot.

I have been using Tnt on my macbook for a year of so with no major problems.  I started using it running leopard with X11 and am now using snow leopard with X11.  There have been NO issues until today.  In the task list I click on one to delete and it does not go away.  I click on one to show that it is done and it does not go away.  However, it does appear under the history tab on the individual and the left main History tab.  It also continues to show up on the individual tab showing under next task.  Do you have any suggestions?

@BigRed52, I believe this issue has been resolved in TntMPD 2.1.51.  Under the "Help" menu, click on "Check for BETA Updates" to update to this version.

Does TNT work for the iPad 2?

By: VictorBarousse Posted on 6 Sep 2011 3:00 PM

I'm running Tnt using X11 on a MacBook with OSX 10.6.8.  Every time I try to add a new church to the Church Name field in Contact view, the program freezes and then crashes.  I've had it hand at other times, but this is the only one I've been able to reproduce.

Can anyone help?

@PaulWilburn, TntMPD doesn't run on the iPad.

By: Troy Wolbrink Posted on 28 Sep 2011 11:36 AM

@VictorBarousse, make sure you're on the latest version (or even install the new TntMPD 2.1.r73 for Mac from the Downloads page).  Then if it continues to happen, report it on the forums.

I've been looking for a way to sync TnTMPD with Mac Mail? Is that impossible or am I just not looking where I should? :)

By: Troy Wolbrink Posted on 28 Nov 2011 2:37 PM

TntMPD doesn't currently have a feature for syncing w/ Mac Mail.
