I should have mentioned that I have deleted the preferences. Thanks for the suggestion, though. Any other ideas?

Sorry if this is a re-post, but the forum search isn't working for me. When I updated to Tiger on the day of its release, Windows Media Player stopped working. It would just freeze up when trying to play files. So, I uninstalled it and downloaded it again. Now, the installer for it freezes as...

No, I mean the Firefox extension, not the Mac OS default.

Thank you for your help (again, you helped me last week). I know this is a dumb question, but how do you point the extension to WMP?

I'm running 10.4 and using Firefox as my browser. Everytime I come to a website that has a WMV file to play in the browser, it says I need to download Windows Media 9. I have checked and confirmed that I do indeed have WM 9. Regardless, I downloaded a new version but I get the pinwheel as soon...

If you can get it to turn on, then definitely try resetting it. That solves 90% of all problems. To reset: 1) Switch on and then off the Hold button; 2) Press and hold Menu and Select (center button) until screen goes blank and Apple logo shows up. Make sure it's disconnected from the computer...

You don't need USB 2.0 for it to work. It will charge and sync just fine over USB 1.1. I know because I have USB 1.1 and my 2G 6GB mini works fine. So, if you have 1.1 it should work fine, I don't know how you'll know other than to just plug it in and see if it starts charging. As for your...

Thank you very much for looking that up for me. I appreciate your help. I will know next time to try the Apple site first. It solved my problem.

Thanks for the reply, but it runs in the background and doesn't show up in the dock.

My menu bar has a lot of items in it. Is there any way to arrange them in the order I want? I know the default Apple icons can be moved by holding down the open Apple key (or whatever it's called), but 3rd party ones cannot. Does anybody have any idea how to do this? Thanks!

I downloaded a small program (Sidenote) and, after installing and running, it seems to have frozen. It's not showing up in the Force Quit menu and double-clicking its application icon does nothing. Do you guys have any advice? I'm using OS X. Thanks!

I am upgrading from 10.2.8 to Panther. I installed Panther and it went through everything fine (probably took just over an hour). I restarted my computer as required and now, when I get to the desktop, the menu bar at the top keeps flashing (appearing and disappearing). None of my desktop icons...

Oh, ok. So they're the same thing but all 3 discs are packed onto one DVD when you buy a new Mac? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your reply. Are the discs/# of discs different if they are purchased versus included with a new Mac?

Am I supposed to have 1 disc or 3 when upgrading from 10.2.8 to Panther? Thanks!
