Try creating a new print driver from your Printer and Faxes System Preference. If you've already tried creating a new print driver and the system still won't print, run the Disk Utility app to make sure your hard disk isn't damaged. Then, back up your data and prepare to reinstall your OS. Or...

The first thing I do when things go this bad is to remove the memory, brush off the contacts (gently, oh so gently), and then reseat it. Your harddrive is checking out ok so I would begin to eliminate other hardware issues. You can also pull out both 128 megs memory cards to see if one of them...

Could it be the ip and subnet numbers are being applied by your service provider via DHCP? So if you manually enter the IP address and subnet numbers your service provider doesn't accept it as it's most likely reassigned that ip address. Have you tried setting your airport basestation to DHCP...

Ever since I installed 10.4.3 last week my network connection has problems coming back on again when I wake my laptop up or log back in. Network Diagnostics says my settings are the problem but while I'm reselecting my network (my Airport) the connection starts up again. I know one other user...

Thanks everyone, I'll remove Virex. I did check my Activity Monitor yesterday and the cpu seemed to be running extremely high with nothing on the monitor claiming responsibility for that much of the usage. Hopefully that's the sign of the Virex issue... Found the uninstaller here...

Ever since I installed Tiger 2 days ago on my 17" G4 1 ghz Powerbook the cooling fan won't stop running. Well, it does if I unplug my PB and go to battery power, but if the PB is plugged in then the cooling fan is running. Have any other PB owners noticed anything similar?

Great idea. I've got nothing else to contribute other than to say that. Sorry.

Agreed Scottfab. I'm now having too many issues to warrant the upgrade. I'm afraid I'll have to do a clean install now and that could take hours/days to reinstall my key apps. I was somewhat counting on Apple having a Software Update in the very near future to address the many bugs I'm sure they...

My Mail is the same way. I deleted the prefs and am not sure how to run /sbin/fsck. From Terminal, but what else do I need to type to make the command work? I've also repaired disk permissions and even attempted to run the new version of Cocktail, which has also crashed. My whole system just...

I did install it last night and so far things are going pretty smooth. I'm extremely relieved I didn't take a performance hit like I've been reading about in several forums (1ghz G4 17" laptop). I did notice I can't search my Entourage emails with Spotlight so if I want the convenience of...

I haven't read Anand's review yet but I think most new OS releases are rushed these days. You have to make your quarterly profit after all! I've had the Tiger dvd in my drive ready to go all day and I just can't get that compelled to install it. Once I began looking over the list of "Over...

I was complaining about my ear buds too but found out I had just chosen the wrong sized buds. My suggestion: start with the largest size first. My problem was that I started with the small ones and then went up to the mediums. Both were constantly falling out. And you look at the large buds and...

Did you run Color Management in Photoshop to calibrate your devices? I know this seems basic but it really helped me calibrate my laptop's LCD with my Epson Photo Stylus 1280. Plus, I let Colorsync manage my printing profiles rather than making manual adjustments and this has been very...

Yeah, I thought I was experiencing a total OS freeze ala OS 9. Then I plugged in my Kensington USB mouse to find it was only the keyboard and touchpad not responding. Yeah, only. Who needs the keyboard anyways? What really had me concerned though was the Touchpad option missing altogether from...
