So it hangs before the login screen or after? Or do you just bypass the login screen and perform an autologin? You might try dumping the finder prefs. Have you run disk verification and permission fix from the install CD? Not from your HD. I would suspect a driver issue or extension. If you...

I had a machine that would hang just before loading the finder. It would show spotlight in the upper right corner and then just hang with the spinning ball of death. The solution: Boot into Single user mode and then dump the 3 cache folders. If you are able to boot into the finder in safe mode...

I have recorded this same problem on 3 users machines. All are Quad G5s some running 10.4.4 and some running 10.4.5. In all cases they report simply making a new folder and not being able to rename it or not being able to rename an existing file. The file can be either on a server or local...

Just updated to 10.4.3 and now I am having major problems with Image capture. I primarily use this app for getting images off my Rebel XT and into folders on my HD. Th program quits continuously and thumbnails for CR2 Raw files show partially cutoff in varying amounts from the bottom up. They...

I am trying to find a way to have iPhoto rotate a thumbnail preview without rotating the original. As a photographer I would like to maintain the integrity of my original image and not have iphoto make a duplicate of it into the "Originals folder". Is it possible to simply rotate the thumbnail...

Is anyone else using QT7 and Acrobat 7? After installing Quicktime 7 I am now getting a "No media Handler" error in Acrobat when attempting to add a movie clip. Other info I have found suggests that this means that Quicktime needs to be installed. However, it has recently been upgraded to 7.0 so...

Can anyone recommend a USB Laptop drive enclosure? I keep seeing then being sold that use 2 USB ports for power. Do these drives require 2 USB ports when being used on an iBook plugged directly or is this just for low power USB like coming off a Keyboard? I'd like one that only requires one...

I have a 15gig 3G ipod. Has anyone else had problems with irregular alarms on the iPod. I am talking about event alarms, not the built in alarm. Yesterday morning (March 2), I had an alarm go off for an event that is set to go off 90 minutes before the event time of 8:00pm on March 4th. It...

If apple produces a flash based ipod, it would need to continue to the tradition of the ipod with the same intuitive interface and simplicity of use. You shoud not need to relearn the interface or click wheel design. In otherwords, picking up any of the ipods should be the same from a user...

I am having the same problem. I have tried all the methods described above and it does not work. The problem seems intermittent. I have had it work for a few days and then it stop. We have about 10 OSX machines in the office and none perform automounting with any consistency. Why is this such an...

No OS9 App (In OS9 or in Classic) that I know of can save with more than 31 characters. If an OSX app creates a file with longer than 31 characters and it is viewed across a network using an OS9 machine, then the filename is truncated on that OS9 machine We need to make sure that the OSX users...

I have a very bizarre request. Does anyone know if there is a way to limit down the filename length in OSX back to the 31 character limit of OS9? I work in a mixed environment and while the transition is taking place it would be nice to keep the OS X systems from being able to enter more than...

Can anyone tell me how I remove an iMix once I have uploaded it?

I am using 10.3.3. It's the base install that came with the G5. The machine is 2 weeks old. From the start I could not get volumes to auto mount using the login pane. I will generate a new user and try it under the new user.

The iBookG4s do not have Airport built in. This on only on the PowerBooks. Where did you get the 1GB chip for the iBook? How much did you pay for it?

Coolgrafix, All panther does over Jaguar is to consolidate these options into the user preferences. Behaves the same. I however can not get this to work on my Dual1.8 G5. It had it working on a G4, but a new install on the G5 results in the items dragged in doing nothing on startup. Does...

I see that the new iBookG4 can now accept up to 1.25GB of ram. Looks like it comes with 256 and has an additional slot for a 1GB chip. My question is this. Since the previous generation of iBook G4 also had one expansion slot, can it too take a 1GB chip. Seems to me the only reason these can go...

The link took me to an Apple error page.

Can someone please post information on the best way to get a Win2k server and an OSX client to play nicely together? We have an office of Macs, hoping to migrate all to OSX and 3 different Win2k Servers. (The option of upgrading to Xservs just doesn't exist). The current issue I am having...

I just had the same problem occur on my machine. Not sure of the cause, but a reboot cured it.
