For what it's worth, the genius bar guy at Apple ran Disk Warrior before diagnosing the hard drive as malfunctioning. I got a new hard drive, and so far so good. But I just restored last night. Hope the mess is over.

Thanks for the advise. I don't know how to use Terminal. And Disk Utility said it couldn't be repaired. I'm not a tech guy. I have an IT dept at work for that. And I've been luck at home I guess. I'll bring it to Apple. Out of curiosity, what's the problem with Disk warrior. Someone recommended...

About a month ago, give or take, my G5 Power mac crashed (10.4). I had to manually shut down and restarted with a blinking question mark. I had a back-up and used Disk Warrior to duplicate my hard drive. I wiped it clean and reinstalled everything. Went fine for a couple to 3 weeks. Then it...

Great. Thanks.

Thanks for the explanation. I would have pasted it, but it wasn't opening. Kept flashing data. So I just trashed it. I do leave my computer on 24/7. And I plan to keep an eye on it. Maybe it will go away. If not, maybe I can open it next time to see if it isn't so big. This all came about due...

It's gone. Computer's fine. I was afraid to delete it. Can you tell me what those files are or what can make them grow so big? Thanks again.

I can't seem to open it. It may be too big. It just blinks for a while. I will just delete it and look out for it growing. Maybe I'll be able to open it at a more reasonable size. Thanks for your assistance.

Hello: I noticed that my hard drive usage was very high. My files don't amount to nearly what's being used. So I looked around and found this. Library/Logs/Consol/501/console.log.7 = 45.25 GB (WHAT!?!?) I thought I was pretty tech savvy. Guess not. This is beyond me. Is this something that...

I'll take a screen shot at home later. Dragging the corner just makes the window bigger. The sites themselves are small. And increasing the type size, well, just increases the type size. It may just be how it is and I will have to get used to it. I'll put up a screen shot. And thanks for your...

Everything looks fine, but my browser window. Every app is great, except Safari and Firefox. The browser window is too small, the text is small, probably because of the window size, and on top of that, the text looks thick. I may get used to it, but, I'd rather fix it. Thanks.

I just got a 20" Cinema Display. Love it. Great new addition. But I have one problem. My browser windows look tiny. Everything else looks good. This is my only problem, but I really don't like it. I tried changing the resolution, but it's not as crisp, and everything else is too big. The text in...

Only new buddies with AIM. I don't IM often, just starting to use it for work mostly. I added a friend recently, same issue, then somehow it just worked. I'm looking into their settings. If I can't get it worked out, I'll get back with details. Thanks.

Same problem. Any answers?

I get a ton of use out of it. Well worth the 100 a year for me. Great for sharing & synching. Worth a shot. You can always cancel next year.

Yes. Very happy. Time to import.
