Thanks very much for the advice. Now to get my external superdrive back ten daughter and try that, In the meantime I will find a thumb drive to use. I must have one her somewhere. Although it is still the current version of disk warrior, it was some time ago the disk was created so it is...

Sorry if i did not make it clear, but how can I boot to another disk if the super drive will not read other install disks? And no, I did not keep the installer. But I will next time.

I updated to Mavericks, but it made no difference. Ii also will not start with a bootable disk like Disk Warrior or even the original installation disk, Leopard or Snow Leopard or music CDs. The only thing it will read is my Disk Warrior disk. I am wondering if I will be able to even do a...

Neither Disk Utility nor Drive Genius has found anything wrong with the drive. When everything is backed up properly I will do a reinstall, probably with Mavericks. Unfortunately, with my internet connection it is probably a 24 hour download. Thanks again

I removed all the extensions in Safari, opened a new user account and logged in with that account (in safe mode) but nothing is different. I did not expect the new user account to work because it crashes before it gets to the log in page. The problem seems to be something that loads just before...

I reinstalled OSX from the command -R boot option, but there was no difference until while in safe mode I updated Safari using software update. Then everything went back to normal. Until Safari crashed and it then it was exactly the same problem. I will reinstall again and then see if I get the...

The hardware test, holding down the D key, would not work either. It crashed just as it appeared it was going to log in. The reinstall of OSX worked but after installation there was no change, It crashes in exactly the same place. So I am no nearer knowing if it is a hardware or software...

Thanks very much, I will try that and let you know

iMac 27" 2.8Ghz Intel Core i7, 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3 OSX 10.8.5 When booting, the system crashes at the moment is tries to launch the log in screen leaving the Apple logo in the middle and sometimes a small greyed out area on the bottom right of the screen which pushes the logo to the left...

A bit of a late response and you probably know this anyway. In OSX 10.7, if you subscribe to birthdays calendar in iCal it will show the ages on the appropriate date in iCal.

This has been in the forum for well over a week and I have not had any replies. So my last hope is to ask one of you guys. After several weeks of playing this game it will not start, displaying a crash report (attached below) even after deleting and reinstalling. This was the last straw...

After several weeks of this game it will not start, displaying a crash report (attached) even after deleting and reinstalling. This was the last straw after a bad upgrade to Lion, so I did a complete clean reinstall of Lion. Now it has happen again. Same game, same problem. It has been playing...

Thanks again for your reply. Other than regularly repairing the permissions, I try not to mess with them. I had to manually change the permissions on some personal files and documents (not program files). Mail is a big improvement on the previous version but like you I prefer Thunderbird. Mail...

Thanks for your reply. aking this in reverse order, yes I have checked and it would appear there is no update. It is more than one game. The two games so far have been Bejewelled 3 and Collapse 3. It could well be they are not compatible with Lion, but they now work fine having started...

By going into the root user account and running the program from there it started. Then switching back to the normal user account it will run as normal. Problem solved? Well sort of. When the normal user account has admin privileges, surely the program should run? It would appear the same...

Being the proud owners of two new MB Airs, when installing the software I have come across a problem with the installation of a small game. When it is transferred to any folder under the current users home directory it will not open, saying I do not have sufficient privileges and it needs to be...

Thanks for the reply. I guessed the Safari problem was something like that. It does not always happen. I am more interested in why some attachments can not be seen in outgoing mail messages. At least I now know they are still there. Regards

"Are you really sending complete web pages as an attachment? You do mean that you provide a web link, correct?" From Safari I select the option to 'Mail Contents of This Page' which then opens it as a message in Mail showing the entire page. Sometimes after being sent, the main body of the...

Ahhh! You appear to be right. When I send the email, the attachments are still there and send normally. I just can not see them myself. The file formats that will not end are wmv and some, but not all jpg files. There are also some web pages that will not send in their entirety from...

Thanks again. That is checked as well and always has been. I also should have said there are three Macs on the network and all have the same problem. It is not just isolated to the one computer. The attachments are stripped out as soon as you press the forward button, before you try and...
