MAC Patch Available

A few weeks ago I wrote about some potential problems that came about with Smart Notebook due to an update that Mac had done. Smart has now released a patch that fixes many of these issues. The patch was released on Nov. 4th and is available to download from their downloads website. You do need to download the patch separately from the 10.8 download and the link is below the main download button. There is a separate patch download for Notebook, Response, and Product Drivers. The patch also creates compatibility for Mac OSX 10.7 Lion.

Download Patch Here

Here is what it fixes:

SMART Notebook software doesn’t stop responding unexpectedly.
You can play FLV files in SMART Notebook software.
SMART Notebook software is compatible with Adobe Flash Player 11.
When you drag an Adobe Flash Player compatible file from the Gallery to a SMART Notebook page, the file loads completely and doesn’t stop responding at 99.5%.
When you’re in Full Screen mode and you resize the toolbar the Exit Full Screen button doesn’t disappear from the toolbar.
When you’re in Transparent Background mode and you resize the toolbar the Exit Transparent Background button doesn’t disappear from the toolbar.
When you use your computer’s trackpad after using your SMART Board interactive whiteboard, the pointer doesn’t remain hidden.
After you install the latest updates for Mac OS X 10.6.8 operating system software, SMART Notebook software doesn’t stop responding when you open files.

There is still a problem with something to do with the screen capture not working correctly, but I guess you can’t win them all!
