David - From Redchairs site..worked for me

After closing Anapod Explorer, cannot open new Explorer windows.
Detail: After closing Anapod, no further Explorer windows of any type can be opened by any means.
Evaluation: A small number of systems appear to have a conflict with one of Anapod’s performance options.
Fix/Workaround: Select “Folder Options…” from Windows Explorer’s “Tools” menu. On the “View” tab, disable the “Launch folder windows in a separate process” option, reboot, and everything should be fine.

I’ve been a customer of RedChair for about six years - I bought their Notmad Explorer suite for use with a Nomad Jukebox back in 2002.

Pre-2007, they were a great company - frequent software updates, quick responses to customer support email. However, I’ve been having trouble with Anapod Explorer for over a month, and now I can’t even get a response from them - or even an acknowledgment that they’re receiving my messages.

Bottom line: AVOID. This company has tanked. Very sad.

The problem I’m having with Anapod is simple: under 64-bit Vista, Anapod can’t find its own Anapod Explorer interface. I can install the software fine, connect to my iPod, and even run Anapod Xstreamer without any problems. But when I try to open an Anapod Explorer interface, I get this message:

“This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel.”

The problem, apparently, is that Anapod doesn’t properly install the Explorer extension for interfacing with an iPod in Vista x64. It’s just plain broken. Interesting, then, that RedChair’s page indicates that Anapod Explorer supports and works fine on Vista.

I’m in the process of dumping my patronage of the company permanently and finding a different solution. This sucks.

Thanks for the Anapod installation work around. Your steps worked perfectly. I set the date back 3 months exactly and followed your steps with success. Can’t understand what the heck is going on at Anapod where they keep releasing new updates (currently on 9.0.5) with faulty installers. Surely they are getting the message!

Thanks again for the clearly explained workaround!

Hi THere

I wanted to deinstall Anapod but the Anapod Explorer symbol is still under “My Computer” and can’t be erased by the delete function

does anyone know how to solve that problem?

thanks

I installed version 9.04 on my laptop the other day and it appears to be working fine … except that I had to uninstall my video editing software first as it was interfering with that. Very odd.

Anyway, the 9.04 universal edition does not seem to have a problem with the same expiry problem. Time to upgrade, I think folks.

Having to hack the legally purchased software does not feel right! What kind of lowlife scum are those red chair ******** guys, they have this broken install up for almost a year now…

(Sorry John, I’ve censored your post as I’ve had legal action threatened for similar comments before, not from Red Chair, from ******* — Gareth)

I know its annoying when your legal copy expires. However in my case I got rid of this problem in the following ways:
1) Use ‘ Notmad Explorer Key generator.
2) double click on above mentioned key generator and patch it with
‘Anapod_903_un’ file.
3) A new file will be created e.g ‘Anapod_903_un__NoExpire_Patched’
4) Use this as your installer file. All done. Enjoy your Anapod forever !

In case any difficulty getting the key generator use the below link
to get everything you want.

thanks for pointing that out Gareth, I forgot that….

Andrea, I have the regular ipod edition, not the shuulfe, nano, or mini edition, and not the universal edition, so if u have one of those, you will have to have someone else upload it 4 u-sry!!

Note: I just went to the red chair site, and they just released anapod 9.0.4 on dec 4, so the 9.0.3 installer file wont work for long anyway, maybe if u dl 9.0.4, this whole issue will be solved!!! try it.

Hey Carlie and Andrea,

what you have to be aware of, however, is that there is more than one edition of Anapod, e.g. Universal Edition, Shuffle Edition, Nano Edition, etc.

So you have to make sure that you have downloaded the same edition, otherwise I suspect your registration code won’t work.
