    Smart and Friendly driver needed

    I have a PowerMac G4 running OS X 10.3.9. Made a mistake with a fresh reinstall of the OS, and thus lost the driver to the installed/internal CD-RW drive. It is a Smart and Friendly CD*Speedwriter 3P, model CD-RW4432A Smart and Friendly apparently went belly-up eons ago, so ... Does...

    Square instead of cursor/pointer

    This problem was solved with guidance from a Macosx.com technician. I did a complete erase of the OS (the last installation was recent enough I didn't fear losing settings) and a fresh install. Cursor appears as a normal arrow/pointer now.

    Dock Arrows Don't Grow or Shrink

    Ditto. I've got 10.4.11 as well. The arrows stay the same whether using magnification or not. Everything else grows, arrows remain the same. They are simply an indication whether a program is on or not ... should provide that info. at a glance even at small size.

    screenshots

    Here's another option: In your utilities folder, you should have an OS application called Grab. Open that up, and then pull down the Capture menu and choose "Selection". Then, you can pull a rectangle around the section of the screen you want to capture. An immediate window with that...

    iBook G3 combo drive rejects disks...

    Debaser -- Thanks for the info. I will certainly give your suggestion a try. Hey, whackier things have solved problems for me in the past! :o) I am pretty sure the drive is showing up in the system profiler. As I said, it does spin so the machine seems to know the drive is there. I'll check...

    iBook G3 combo drive rejects disks...

    After having new software installed by an Apple C.T. and shipping via UPS, the combo drive on my iBook G3 either rejects all disks (audio/video/data), or, if it allows the drive tray to stay closed, no icon for the disk ever appears on the screen desktop. No music, no video, no ability to copy...
