Happy 15th Birthday, Mactracker!

Saturday, May 14, 2016 7:30 AM

Mactracker 1.0 was introduced on May 14, 2001. Over the past 15 years it has grown to become an indispensable tool for enthusiasts, collectors, resellers, service providers, and IT professionals. Our gallery shows how Mactracker has evolved over the years.

I wanted to say thanks for the great feedback and words of encouragement over the years - Mactracker wouldn't be here without you!

Update on Mactracker 7.1 crash

Saturday, March 02, 2013 2:42 PM
A number of users have encountered a crash when opening Mactracker 7.1.

The issue appears to be related to a specific version of my development environment. Compiling Mactracker with an earlier release has resolved the issue.

Version 7.1.1 will be released shortly to address this issue. Thank you for your patience.

Update on Mactracker 7 System Requirements

Monday, December 03, 2012 8:20 AM
I wanted to provide some information on why Lion was set as the minimum requirement for Mactracker 7.

My intent was to support Snow Leopard. When I moved version 7 to the Cocoa framework I encountered some stability issues with 10.6. Moving from a Carbon base was necessary for Retina display support.

I chose to release version 7 with the Lion requirement while I work to resolve the stability issues with Snow Leopard.

Mac App Store asking to update Mactracker with another Apple ID

Tuesday, December 27, 2011 10:09 PM
A number of users have reported being asked to login to the Mac App Store using another person's Apple ID to update Mactracker. This can occur even if Mactracker is not installed.

A receipt from this person's copy of Mactracker was used to disable the DRM from another app. Affected users will need to remove copies of this "cracked" app to prevent the Mac App Store from asking to update Mactracker.
