I'm sure nobody will be surprised, the Tivo Desktop doesn't work with the new Macs.

I got a new iMac today and no more photos & music.

You're right that I'm not surprised (it's been reported already here.)

That said, Galleon (http://galleon.tv) should work, since, unlike TiVo Desktop, it doesn't rely on JNI, just java itself. While it isn't as well-integrated as TiVo Desktop is with iTunes and iPhotos, and setup is a bit more involved, it (a) works and (b) comes with lots of other handy-dandy features.

Hadn't seen it. Wish I had, I wouldn't have bothered trying to reinstall Tivo Desktop trying to see if that would help.

Just downloaded it, but the setup looks like greek to me.

Plenty of threads about Galleon here, and Leon (the author) is usually very good with answering questions and responding to issues.
