For soem reason my Quicksilver has started shutting down after a few minutes use. I have just cleaned all the vents and blown out the dust and am hoping that this was the problem. Is there any type of reset that I need to click or anything to help this situation out???? OR can anyone tell me...

I have just done a target download from my QuickSilver to the Imac of the user folder that i saved before I put in the new HD. Now I need to know how to reinstall the preferences so that the apps that are installed on the new HD will look the same. This includes all my bookmarks for both...

To all who helped - thank you!!! it turned out to be a bad stick of ram that was keeping me from reinstalling Tiger. when i switched that out it went in fine. Thnx for all your support

I have just installed a new HD in the Imac and now for some reason my DVD of Tiger will not install the OS. I am about to go to the APple store and buy Leopard, but before I do is it possible that there is a problem with my Tiger DVD? Of course the first thing that came to mind is that Apple...

I got the new HD in the 800mhtz Imac, but the guy that installed it said that he partitioned it for the OS. I have never heard of having to do this on a Mac. I have always just hit the "Go" button and put it on there. Will it cause any problems if it is truly partitioned?

I just got my hands on a Adesso foldable keyboard a nd am going to hook it up to my IMac. THE packaging and the website tell me that it is a Windows board, but it has a USB connector. Is there any reason taht it won't work on my IMac?

For some reason, both Safari and FoxFire are crashing on my IMac. I am using the smaller EMac keyboard on that machine and last night, in an attempt to get the DVD drive open some of the F# buttons were pushed. This resulted in a hard boot from the power switch. Now both browsers blow up as...

Hey there!!! I was wondering if you have any input into being able to hook up a Shuffle to any type of speaker system? I am thinking of using the headphone jack and a set of powered computer speakers. Think it might work?

Hey All!!!!! I am in the process of setting up an ethernet network between the 2 systems in my house. The are both G4's, one a 2002 IMac and the other a 2002 G4 Quicksilver. We are using a Belkin G ethernet router. So far, I have been able to download files from one system to the other, but...

Ok, the network is 2 computers that sit across the room from each other. I would like to be able to set them up so that we can share a printer, files, etc.. I downloaded a file yesterday from one to the other, and got a prompt that I didn't have "permissions" to download some of the files...

Hey All!!!! I'm not quite sure what I did different, but I got it to work!!! Now, I need to find out how to set things up so that I am the admin of this "network." Anyone have an idea? Thnx, Rick

Thnx for the reply. I have to admit that I'm pretty "old-school" with Mac platform. I have ben a bit confused since the beginning of OSX. I've used Mac for years, but the platform is so different not. Both systems are running Tiger and the other one is an IMac G4 (2002) 800hrtz. I just...

Last weekend I installed an ethernet router between the 2 Macs that are in the same room so that we can share a cable modem. I set it up with hard wire instead of going wireless for several reason. The internet aspects are working great, but the server part is not working at all. I have...

Then you are telling me that appletalk does not need to be turned on - correct?
