I've got WebOSQuickInstall installed on my MacBook Pro 10.5.7. But, I cannot install any IPKs to my Pre via it.

I can run WebOSQuickInstall OK, and, add IPKs to the list, click "Install!", a windows pops up, that window first says "Connect to device" (for a VERY quick time, less than a second), then says installing (some stuff that is a bit to quick to read, but, I believe includes the name of the IPK I am trying to install), and, seems to complete.

Then, when I look on the Pre, I don't see the new App in the Launcher.

From terminal, I have done a "sudo /opt/nova/bin/novacomd".

I have plugged in my Pre into the USB port and chose "Just Charge".

I believe I am in developer mode. In any event, I've tried it with the Developer Mode switch showing both Off and On.

I have REdownloaded my targeted IPKs in case they were not fully downloaded due to a shortsave by Firefox.

I have also tried downloading the apps via Safari, to take any shortsave issue out of the equation.

I have rebooted the Mac and the phone a number of times.

I have tried a few different homebrew apps.

When I do a "Device Management", I get appropriate information back, including 9 apps. I've seen talk about quantity of applications being a limiting factor. Is 9 too many?

Also, in "Device Management", the "Device:" line shows <unknown>. Is this a symptom of a problem?

Any and all help, guidance, or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I found my problem. I had previously rooted my PRE, and, my /var directory on my Pre was 67%, which (according to http://discussion.treocentral.com/we...gh-memory.html Post #6), is the magic I-cannot-let-you-install-anymore number.
