    How to reinstall Safari 2.0?

    No, nothing at all, and as I said in my last post, when I run Safari as the front end of the lastest build of WebKit I don't get the crashes I experienced before. I think that I must have a corrupted file somewhere in the WebKit framework that was installed when I installed Tiger. Now I need...

    Networking wirelessly with Win XP

    I would recommend an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station to plug into your phone line. This contains the modem to dial up your ISP. It will allow your Windows XP laptop and the Mac G5 to access the Internet using their wireless networking cards. The two computers can stay in their current...

    Which Backup Software

    INMHO your backup strategy depends on the value you place on the data and how fast it changes. For myself, it would cost more to replace the data on my computer than the computer itself. I use Dantz Retrospect to back up to 2 external drives (one connected to the computer, the other stored at...

    Mac OS X USB to Parallel Connector Driver Help.

    Force a file to use a certain app to launch in?

    You could try changing the HTML file's creator to sfri to force it to open with Safari. I use a shareware utility called x-ray for this sort of thing but there must be lots of others out there. X-ray is at this URL if you are interested: http://www.brockerhoff.net/xray Hope that helps.

    Flakey Safari 2.0 (OS X 10.4.1)

    Folks, I am having a lot of problems using Safari 2.0 with OS 10.4.1. I did a clean install then used the Migration assistant to move files onto my Mac. None of the problems occur with Camino 0.8.4. visiting the same URLs so I don't think that it is the network link. PROBLEM 1: When...

    My sister has a tray loading iMac which will not power up. She is planning to replace it with a new G5 iMac and does not want to repair the old one. To get her data off the old iMac I am proposing that she takes the old drive out and puts it in a Firewire external housing. After copying off...
