Just recently, when I mount a file shared volume and copy a file to it, subsequently it will not dismount. All I can do is FORCE QUIT the FINDER and then the remote volume will dismount. DETAILS: This occurs with an iMac 17' 1.25GHz G4 running 10.4.5 with current security updates, and...

Just for those inquiring minds that might want to know: Just tested the external USB 2.0 enclosure with a 60GB Seagate drive in it on the 17 inch G4 iMac (witch has built in USB 2.0 ) and YES it does allow SLEEP and even spins down the hard drive in the external enclosure. On WAKING the iMac...

MY PCI USB 2.0 cards work fine, but I want to SLEEP the Mac I must either disconnect devices or power them off, THEN the Mac will SLEEP & WAKE okay. Otherwise, if anything is connected & powered when SLEEP enabled, Mac will NOT WAKE requiring FORCED POWER off & reboot, which of course I agree I...

Thanks for all the comments. I was afraid there might be impedence, capacitance or shielding differences between the old & new cables.. All my USB devices were 1.0 or 1.1 until recently a few USB 2.0 devices (most notably 5th Gen iPod) appeared in my hardware collection. The random...

Are the USB cables themselves different between older 1.1 & newer 2.0? I have an assortment of older 1.0 & 1.1 cables and some newer ones clearly labeled as 2.0. I know what some of them are, but uncertain on a number of them. How can you tell the difference between a 1.1 cable and the...

Pragmatic response: Computer & related hardware accessories do use power in sleep, much less of course. If you are strong environmentalist, then turn them off when not using them. Saves money and energy resources. Sleeping Macs & related equipment likely use less than a 60 light bulb left...

I ran into this same problem with all 3 of my G4 macs (450, 933 & 1.25MHz iMac iLamp model) several OSX versions ago (probabaly 10.2.x something or other) and never got it back. They all did auto sleep before that. I have tried removing all USB peripherials but mouse & keyboard, PCI cards...

You have somehow accidentally turned on VoiceOver, a Tiger screen reader for blind and visually handicapped Mac users. To turn this off, use COMMAND F5 (a toggle to turn VoiceOver on or off). You can also use System Preferences, Universal Access to do this.

I was in a similar situation, a bundled WorldBook preinstalled. I believe the separate WorldBook disk is actually disk #2 a disk containing just data CONTENT & media files not an installer and not the application. Don't take this as an exact quote for procedure but from my somewhat hazy memory...

I had it and liked it too. Seems it was an OS9.x program tho. My wife particularly liked Jewelbox as it was fun and soothing.

I got the PCI USB card working with SLEEP but discovered an issue with the iPod. I just installed a PCI USB 2.0 IOGear 5 port card in this G4 QuickSilver: G4 933 2002 model Tiger 10.4.2 1GB RAM PCI SCSI card 2930CU This G4 runs perfectly, and while I lost automatic DEEP SLEEP more...

Suddenly, with no explanation as with earlier incident, it is working again. I had been exploring the Safari Enhancer related POSIX errors route and have RESTORED DEFAULTS within Safari Enhancer and tried removing all traces of Enhancer without success. It is still possible something I did...

Really weird. I did a Google search on the “POSIX error: Permission denied” (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:13) error and came up with some hits. Most were seemingly related to Safari Enhancer problems. I may have had tried this Safari Enchancer months ago, but thought I'd removed it. I went searching...

The webpage for TopCalculette will not load. I get this message in Safari under 10.4.2 Tiger: Safari can’t open the page. Safari can’t open the page “http://www.rubensoft.com/Products/TopCalculettePro_US.html”. The error was: “POSIX error: Permission denied” (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:13) Please...

Is anyone else having difficulty with Now UpToDateContact 5.04 on Tiger? I had 5.0 later /currently 5.02 installed and runninng fine on both a G4 10.3.4 and iMacG4 10.4.2 installation. When I tried to update both to 5.04 the apps Contact & UpToDate either will not launch or QUIT sometime...
