    Finder crashes when emptying trash / Trash doesn't empty (10.3.9)

    I appreciate all the advice, but, just for clarification, it's not a file or files "stuck" in the trash. I've been able to empty the trash using 3rd party software (TrashIt! and SuperEmptyTrash), and through the terminal. The problems are: 1. Clicking on the Trash icon in the dock does not open...

    Finder crashes when emptying trash / Trash doesn't empty (10.3.9)

    Thanks Roph - great tip. I was able to fire up in Target Disk mode, and hooked up to a workmate's machine. We ran verify disk on it and: *** Verifying volume “Macintosh HD” Checking HFS Plus volume. Checking Extents Overflow file. Checking Catalog file. Checking multi-linked files...

    Finder crashes when emptying trash / Trash doesn't empty (10.3.9)

    Cool thanks, I didn't know safe-booting ran Repair Disk. I've done that, and still have the Trash/Finder Crash issue, unfortunately.

    Finder crashes when emptying trash / Trash doesn't empty (10.3.9)

    Thanks for the reply - I'm having problems running the Verify disc from boot up - my main CD/DVD drive isn't working, so I've been using a peripheral - thing is when I reinstall/restart from the MacOSX disc, my machine just does a normal reboot because I don't think it's reading the peripheral...

    Can anyone recommend a good tablet?

    I'm looking to get a tablet/stylus. Can anybody recommend a good one, or any I should be steering clear of? I'm plenty experienced on the graphics side of things, I just have absolutely none using a tablet. I'm looking to make the leap. Thanks!

    Loud "zoooooom" noize suddenly after 1.1 firmware update [imac intel]

    The same thing occurred when I did the firmware update as well, but while reading the update instructions, it mentions this is supposed to happen on the initial reboot.

    Apple Mail Problem Reading Sent Messages

    I'm still experiencing the same problem. I found when I move the actual sent folder to another location (the desktop) and restart Mail, the sent messages are then readable again. This only lasts one session though, and the sent messages folder must be moved back to be readable again. It only...

    I've been experiencing the identical problem in the past few days as well. Hopefully someone has some idea what's causing this. -L

    Quark 6

    Just a guess, but if you have 3 different copies of quark, you may have to re-install the exact copy you are running on your mac. If your computers are networked, the same copy may be recognized as running on another machine. Like I said, though, just a guess.

    window view as list problems...

    This problem started about a week ago. Here's the scenario. Version 10.1.5 I'm viewing my windows/folder contents as list. I'm sorting the contents alphabetically, from top to bottom. When I click on an icon, the order of the contents reverse from bottom to top. This is especially annoying...
