    Kernel Panic after 'cold' restart

    Hello, OS 10.3.8, iBook G3 800MHz When I restart my iBook after it has been switched off for more than a couple of hours I get a kernel panic. When I then restart (after a couple of minutes), everything is fine. Any ideas? It couldn't be anything to do with the PRAM battery could...

    Stacking ikons

    No can do. Neither "Keep arranged by" nor "Snap to grid" are enabled. Though I've just cleared my desktop (other than HD!) and pasted twenty items in, and it does that all neat and nicely, with no stacking! Curiouser and curiouser

    Stacking ikons

    Been having problems with my iBook recently, and had to resort to reformatting the HD and reinstalling 10.2 and then upgrading to 10.3.8 Now, here's a funny one.... I have eight ikons on the right edge of my screen, from top to bottom (like I'm sure most people do, all very neat and...

    OnyX and the grey screen mystery!

    Just found a similar problem and tried BOBW's solution of entering in Single-User mode and running fsck -f It ran. I got a message saying .... keys out of order (4, 6225) ** Rebuilding Catalog B-tree ** The volume iBook could not be repaired Not looking too...

    OnyX and the grey screen mystery!

    Hello, Last Thursday I set OnyX running on my iBook, but didn't have time for it to finish and closed my iBook (stupid I know!). OnyX resumed the next day ok and all appeared to be well. Then I restarted my machine! Ooooops. Couldn't get passed the grey screen with the spinning wheel...

    iBook/PowerBook night-time mode

    Hello world! I have a colleague with a bronze PowerBook with 10.3.5. When he presses alt-option-shift-8 the laptop switches to a "night-time" mode. Why is this useful? Can I replicate this on my G3 iBook (10.3.5)? Thanks, Chopper

    Entourage sending "Hello" messages

    Hi all, I'm writing to see whether anyone else has come across this issue, and if so, whether anyone knows what's going on and how to stop it..... Occasionally, when sending an email, the progess window says "sending message "Hello" " Or something like that. I've checked and I'm not...

    Hi all! I've got Norton Internet Security and have noticed that the number of access attempts blocked by the Firewall has gone bananas over the last few weeks. In the last two days there have been over 3,500 attempts!!!! Now, the Firewall is obviously stopping these attacks/attempts so...

    Entourage and Hotmail....

    Well odd-me-dod! I've got Office 10.1.5 and, thus, Entourage 10.1.4 but still no joy. Anyone got a magic wand? I've just deleted the account and tried to create the account manually, rather than using the [stupid] wizard, with still no joy. There're no settings I need to change at...

    Entourage and Hotmail....

    Morning all! Maybe it's just me being hopeless..... but I can't seem to set up access to my Hotmail account through Entouage. I use the wizard and then get the butterfly in my Folders View. Then if I try and Send and Receive I get the grey box saying..... "The Hotmail folder could...

    Replacement internal ATA hard drive

    Righty-ho! This should be a doddle for you clever lot! I'm thinking of replacing the hard drive in my aging iMac G3 500. Can I buy any ATA, which is physically the same size as the existing one? If so, is it as simple as switching the drives, starting the machine from OS X CD and then...

    Firewire HD causes grey crash/restart screen

    Thanks for the replies both! :o) I booted with the HD not connected a second time, and then connected it and all's been fine ever since. (fingers crossed, touching wood and waving rabbits' feet in the air! :o) I've now installed 10.2.8 so now I suppose this thread can be closed. But...

    Firewire HD causes grey crash/restart screen

    Hi there, Recently bought an external Firewire drive, to share files between Mac and Windoze. Worked fine last night when I backed-up some data, using SilverKeeper, onto one of the FAT32 partitions. This morning, whenever I connect the drive I get one of the delightful grey-sceen system...
