Your OS isn't "blessed" You can either choose your HD in the Startup Disk pref pane, hold down x on startup, or hold down option on startup and choose your HD.
While most people haven't had an issue with 10.4.10, I'm avoiding this update like the plague. There are all sorts of reports of USB and misc. problems with this POS update.
To fix this, First back up your important files! Try creating another user in Sys Preferences. If this problem persists...
You should really buy a registered, legal copy of Office 2004 or such. It sounds like you need to reinstall. If you're in school or affiliated with an educational institution, you can buy the student and teacher edition of Office 2004 for much cheaper than the standard retail (although it...
Are you using the Safari 3 beta? If so try this:
"Safari 3 Beta kept crashing on PDF links for me. I found and removed an old Adobe PDF viewer plug-in, and all is well again. Use the Finder's search feature to locate AdobePDFViewer.plugin (it should probably be found in /Library/Internet...
While Macs do see and access FAT32 drives, it's not a "perfect" union. They generally play better with the Mac journaled formatting, though I haven't really seen it to be an issue. And as far as I know all drives can be corrupted as long as they are mounted. When you suddenly remove a drive...
This probably won't help, as I'm sure you've done this, but the only thing I could think of was the F10 key. I tried altering the keyboard illumination settings and then doing a find (visible and invisible) for files changed "Today" but nothing came up. Weird....
I thought that if you use the Software Restore option on the disc (haven't tried it in a long while) you can pick and choose which apps you want. Or, you should be able to click a "Customize" button on install to pick and choose as well. Barring that, if you know your way around Macs pretty...
Natobasso brings up a good point. Login IPs differ by manufacturer. Once you find out the IP address for your router (most likely it will be 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1), connect your computer to the router via ethernet cable. Type in the proper address into a browser, and you should be prompted...
Depending on your needs, Now Up to Date is pretty cool. If, however, you're simply "forgetting" to open iCal when you login in the morning. Add it to your list of login items... (Under System Preferences/Accounts)
I think TinkerTool (also free will let you do this too)
here's the link for Onyx in English, if you can't read french... :)

The manufacturer of the Printer shouldn't matter. As long as it communicates using the USB protocol, you should be fine. Additionally, OS X has a "Printer Sharing" feature so as long as the computers are on the same network, you can use the computer that's hooked up to the printer to network...
How many files are you talking about? seems to me a USB Cruzer drive would be much simpler. You can get up to 4.0 GB (maybe more, but mine 4 GB was the biggest available when I bought the flash drive)
