Scrapebox for Mac

[Bahama Blue]

Hi!

I’m kind of new and I’m trying to figure out a lot. I have been doing small tests with scrapebox for Mac, but I am disappointed that I cannot get the article scraper add on with the Mac version. I also am sad that I can’t have multiple tasks running in the software on Mac. I am wondering if the solution can be to install boot camp? I got so displeased with windows over the years and I only use Mac. I thought about getting a pc, but the last time I bought a windows laptop there was all of this garbage annoying windows MOOP on there rendering it virtually worthless...I didn’t mind windows 7 but... I even tried to load it with Linux, but it’s been a pain. the windows laptop currently makes a nice iPad or phone stand for zoom conferences... I just want to use scrapebox with all the windows features not on windows please if you have any insight

With SB not all the features work on a Mac. Somewhere in the sales thread here @Sweetfunny explains the deal with the Mac SB product.

You best bet is to get Parallels and buy the windows version as that works just fine as that is what I do.

 

[Gogol]

It has to do with the framework more than anything else, afaik. Wait for @Sweetfunny to reply may be, but I think you will be best off buying a windows PC or getting a windows rdp from any seller here.


P.S. I am not sure what exactly is broken in the mac, as I use the windows version of SB.

Sorry, I should have included this - https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/s...auto-blog-commenter-with-prstorm-mode.129096/

That is their sales thread and you can get a lot more info there as well as ask questions.

Thanks sir! With the parallels- do you use the pro version, and why/what are the features that make it so awesome to pay yearly?

I do use the pro version.

When I first bought my Mac I already had a ton of Windows software as I had only used PCs previously and rather than buy new software it made sense to me to go that route.

Also, I do a lot of testing on various tools and software and I prefer to use the Mac as opposed to one of the Dell laptops or the desktop unit.

To @BassTrackerBoats and @OP I think you probably don't know this, SB launched a Mac version a few years ago (maybe 1-2).

Here is the link to that: http://www.scrapebox.com/mac-download

Problem is you have to buy it as a separate license to your window.

All the features for the Mac don't work using the Mac version which is why I just transferred one of my licenses over to the Mac.

By the way of your not wanting to use parallels all macs come with a built in tool for dual booting (that’s how I have done it)

Just create virtual machine with windows on your mac and thats it. Easiest way.

Thanks so much I will determine the best option for my situation based on the recommendations listed. But now I am trying to figure out if there is a way to transfer a Windows OEM license to a different machine lol. Is there a thread anywhere that discusses these types of windows transfers and whatnot?

Well there is a lot of great info in this thread, but you said 1 thing:

"I just want to use scrapebox with all the windows features not on windows please"

Unfortunately the answer is

You can not.

Mac is a great OS and works great for a lot of people. Windows is a great OS that also works great for a lot of people. The thing is, they are different. In fact if you look at the mac back end, its like they did everything the opposite as windows on purpose. From the back end code to putting the windows controls like minimize, X etc.. on the opposite side of the window and everything in between, its all just about done opposite on purpose.

Id guess due to copyright and all that jazz.

The thing is, and Im making some real big generic statements here as its just too deep to go into, that it is opposite and so it works different.

Windows architecture is simply better suited for the multi threaded nature of an automation program like scrapebox. From everything from the error handling to how windows allows you to run multiple instances and mac does not its just better suited. When I say "better" I mean windows is able to more effectively utilize the tools in scrapebox. Again super generic statements for simplicity sake.

So like Bass Tracker said, you have to kind of pick, and parallels is a great option.

As to the plugins, they are planned, but Ive no clue when that will be. Mac is quite frankly more a pain in the rear to code for as well. You can take 100 windows machines and scrapebox will do the same thing 100 times. You can take 100 macs and 92 will work 1 way, 3 will work another way, 1 another and 4 another way. With no reason for doing so, the same code can behave differently on 1 mac then another, which does not happen on windows. So it makes it hard to troubleshoot. Further back to architecture mac is poor with things like massive amounts of errors stacking up fast. When you get into a bucket load of threads and moving parts you can get into a bucket load of errors in an instant. Windows handles those well and mac can (although not always) choke with that. However in fairness no one and apple or microsoft sat around and planned for programs like scrapebox, it just so happens to work out the way that it is.

So stuff like that, Im sure they have run into issues with article scraper stuff and thus its not yet out.

Anyway not sure if thats really much help, but thought I would toss it out there.

In general though scrapebox does work on mac, but just as you noted it is different then windows and as the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Well you can't have the functionality of scrapebox on windows and run it on mac.

Wish I had a better answer, but it is what it is.

Is there not a gofundme just for him to give to charity as he does for us here?

If not I'm suing someone.

Yes this is a great option if you dont want to setup a virtual machine and get a Windows install running. You wont bog down your own internet and can let jobs run overnight while your Mac is turned off.

Building the Mac version has been a huge amount of work, and we really wish it was at the same point in development as the Windows version but it's not. Because compiling Mac apps is also a new thing for the code compiler we use, it's had a lot of teething problems and bugs which effects ScrapeBox. Then we have to wait for their roadmap release which isn't as fast as we like to release. Plus debugging tools, third party components etc are lacking on the Mac which means replicating some things from the Windows version of ScrapeBox is extremely difficult or not possible.

This should improve as the compiler improves, but for now if you have the choice of platforms i always tell people to go with the Windows version of ScrapeBox.

Oh yay! loopline to the rescue! !! Thank you for your insight into my implementation and other issues!

I understand that some software functions better on windows. I witnessed the exponential power of scrapebox on windows a couple years back, but hadn’t delved into it at the time. When I started studying more Seo & found there was now a Mac version, I wanted to test it. It works! But you are right, fundamentally, not like the windows version.

I am still trying to develop my workflow with this program, and determine the best way to utilize the mac version. I understand if I want to add volume and add ons, that I will need the the windows solution, maybe the VPS …

Forgive me for complaining about windows, I just want a clean, fast OS, and they have historically gunked up. But regardless, there are some nice bots and other programs like SB that exceed expectations on this OS.

Thank you again, Sir, for your response, and for your continued teaching, fountain of knowledge, and charitable contributions

I like the Mac version Thank you for making it, I will treasure it forever, it’s like Scrapebox lite for me since I’m kind of new anyway and still trying to graduate back to windows lol.

Dear goodness, Im afraid if you put up a statue of me in the front of town it would work more like a scarecrow to scale animals and people away, LOL

I do greatly appreciate the wonderful thoughts though.

That seems odd, it does seem like its stuck on trackbacks as those are trackback errors. Try restarting scrapebox and ideally your mac if possible. Perhaps it was unable to write the settings to disk and is somehow stuck on trackbacks, kind of a guess though.
