Trying to open program preferences 3. Please provide any additional information below. Problem has existed for several months but I cannot attach it to a particular event, looking backward.

I second that, having the same issue. Cleared the preferences, not even sure where it's getting my Tivo list from but I can't connect, set the media key since I am getting this error.

Also getting this error

I'm also getting this error and I cannot download anything as my download folder doesn't exist, and and I cant get into preferences because of the error. I hope a solution turns up soon as there are no other decent Tivo programs for Mac.

Same issue here

I have same issue. Unusable on 10.8.2. Please fix.

Agreed, this is a high priority defect. Just downloaded iTivo to my iMac w/ Mountain Lion and I can't access the Preference pane to enter my MAK, so the program is currently useless to me.

Same here - just reinstalled, had previous version. Went back, deleted everything, including files in ~/Library, same problem.

Mac Pro 2009. 10.8.2. Previous installs of iTivo (Thanks -- I love this program!). Can't get to Prefs Panel (per above) but can see my Tivo S3, and download shows. Now if I could just remember my codec settings ... Anyway -- very much appreciated all your work on this.

I think at this point we've established that this is a fairly common issue. A data wipe doesn't fix things. We now just have to wait for the developers to find time to fix it.

Just wanted to say I'm also having the same issue. Can't wait to try this out!

Running OSX 10.8.2 have same issue. Booted an external HD running Snow Leopard and ran iTivo 1.7.6 on the external drive. Copied he iTivo 1.7.6 application from the exernal Snow Leopard to the desktop of the Mountain Lion install and rebooted into mountain lion. The 1.7.6 package on the desktop has a working Prefs panel. I am currently away from home and plan to test connection to Tivo when I return. At least I have a working prefs panel to enter the MAK number for the tivo now.

FIX: using a text editor such as BBEdit, navigate to and open "user/library/preferences/com.iTiVo.iTiVo.plist" You will see the following code <key>MAK</key> <string></string>. Put your media access key inbetween <string> and </string>. Save the document. Restart iTivo and it will have your MAK installed.

Edited com.iTiVo.iTivo.plist as prescribed in comment 18. Still unable to get PrefsPanel window, and still unable to connect. Verified that plist file at user/library/preferences/com.iTiVo.iTiVo.plist includes the edit adding the MAK file.

I was able to connect to my Tivo and begin a download, but still unable to open preferences pane.
