Would have been nice to know that it “probably does not work” on Vista – what a waste of $10. I see on their support page they mention nothing of Vista! They dont even have a contact address!

This really is quite ludicrous that you have to buy a program that facilitates something that you would assume to be a standard function.

Nice to see that not only me thats having problem with Datacase / Vista. Next time I use the App Store, I will check the internet first. Bad for the reputation of App Store.

I did hear back a second time from Aaron at DataCase, but his second suggestion doesn’t work for me either.

“Now that I see this, I think i see the problem. Its not 192.168.1.102.2121, the last marker is a colon (:) not a period. If you type that URL in again using a colon, I bet it will work better.”

I went to the Apps store and tried to see how to request a refund, but saw no easy way and decided that I didn’t want to spend an hour or two trying to get back $7.00. I am very turned off by this situation and no longer want to spend any more time on this App.

@Edna – Thanks for the update Edna. It’s a shame that some companies are not more forthcoming about this kind of information. If they were more customer focused they’d be here on Touchtip responding to our readers’ comments. The least they could do is give you a refund. Did they?

I emailed DataCase support and they responded with some suggestions, none of which worked. They said they would continue to help, but I’ve heard nothing back from them. I read the reviews at the Apps Store and while some PC-Vista people say they can get it to work, most of the PC comments there cannot.

Apparently, if you are MAC, this is a great app. If you are PC – take your chances and end up batting your head against the wall. Too bad the Apple Apps store gave us misleading information.

I have this problem exactly as described with all the necessary steps followed with the official instrcutions. Very unhappy as it was the ultimate solution…

I did ignore the error messages, but it still does not work. There are no folders and I cannot drag anything to it.
