I just experienced a very similar problem when I did a software update on my G4 (ver. 10.4). When it tried to install the security update the system froze. When I restart it stops before it gets to the login screen. I booted from the install disk and ran disk utility which identified the error...

I am setting up a wireless network at my home connecting to the internet via satellite (HughesNet). I have a Powerbook G4, imac (new), and a Quicksilver G4. The Powerbook and imac have built in wireless capability, and I use an Airport Express to connect. A sales rep at the Apple Store said the...

I also have a G4 very similar to yours and I'm having the same problem you described. My problems seem to have started when I installed 10.4.6. I was reading through the forums looking for help when I found your post. Someone mentioned in another post something about a possible incompatibility...

OK I finally stumbled on the problem and fixed it. It was one of those widgets. I have two weather widgets set up. One is for Baghdad, where my son is. For the past few days it has failed to load the current weather data. Today I changed the address of this widget to another city and everything...

I have never been to that website before so I don't know...

Thank you for the replies. To clarify--I did not ask anyone about how to do anything illegal. The "holier than thou" attitude and "toe the line or else" mentality that permeates these discussion boards seems (to me) unwarranted. I meant no harm or evil with my post, yet brianleahy is "pained"...

MacRipper & Popcorn usually allow me to make flawless copies of DVD's. Occasionally however, after ripping certain DVDs, Popcorn gives an error msg stating it "cannot handle the contents of this Video_TS folder." Why can't these DVD's be copied? Is there a work-around?

I'm learning to rip and burn DVD's. Sometimes I get a msg in Popcorn stating it can't handle certain TS folders. As an alternative I would like to try saving the DVD to a disc image but I haven't figured out how to do this. Do I need to use a different application?
