I've never experienced this problem before, so I'm at a bit of a loss. Over the past few days my G5 Quad has been experiencing numerous kernel panics per day. An it just occurred to me last night what's causing it: static generated by me. It happens when I get up from my desk, When I sit...

I just realized that I've deleted a folder containing several files that I still need from a flash drive. I haven't deleted any files from the drive since the files in question were deleted, so I'm hoping there's still a chance, even though I know that under UNIX it's quite difficult to...

Thanks, Sinclair. :)

I have a G5 Quad with an Nvidia Geforce 7800 GT video card (installed by Apple at the time of purchase). I wanted to see if there were any new/updated drivers for my card, but when I go to Nvidia's website the card is not listed, nor are any Mac drivers that I can see. I checked Apple's site...

That was it! Thank you. :D

I'm running OS 10.4.8 on a G5 Quad (4GB RAM, and 7800GT video card). I've been running 10.4.8 since it was made available, and starting yesterday I'm getting a black box outline over anything I select, both in the finder, and when working in applications. The annoying thing is that the black...

Oops... Sorry about that - I just realized that I said I had Tiger currently installed... which I don't. I have Panther (10.3.9) and I'm thinking about doing a clean install to 10.4.4. Sorry about the typo. And thanks for clearing up what Firmware is. I appreciate that. One question: if...

I've always been a bit unclear as to what firmware really is... It's somewhere between hardware and software, and it can be updated via software... becasue of that I have a bit of a time wrapping my head around it. My question is this: can I do a clean install of OS 10.4.4 without having to...

Well, all appears to be OK now. After running around a lot yesterday I was finally able to sit down and do some more diagnostic/maintenance work on my system last night. Apple Hardware Test found no problems. I updated the Prebinding. And I deleted my .lst files (I had 48... I don't think...

Your welcome. I'm not sure how to get the listing out of your Recent Documents, but on the upside: even if your wife notices it, and happens to follow the link she won't be seeing anything that would really give you, or your gift, away. ...I suppose you could open some other files until the...

...Oh sure - take the easy way out. :D

Quit Safari Go to the Library in your User Directory (Users -> user name -> Library -> Safari). Find the History .plist Open it in TextEdit (you'll have to double click on the file - dragging it to the app wont work) Find all of the history links that you want to delete (make sure you delete...

OK, so far so good. I finished clearing out all of my Norton files (BTW, Norton's uninstaller only removes the applications, but leaves Live Update and all of the created prefs... I can sort of understand the preferences, but why leave Live Update? :confused: ) and ran OnyX. My boot time has...

You can also look into the Open Office. It's a free open source suite that's compatible with MS Office file formats. It's files are also much smaller when saved compared to MS Office, making them easier on portability - esp. when e-mailing large presentations or chunky spread sheets. If...

Thanks, ra3ndy - I'll give that a go and see how it works out. And out of curiosity - is an Unexpected Quit resulting from a "Kern_Protection_Failure" considered a Kernel Panic? Because right now I'm approaching this as if it is. Thanks.

I'll start with a brief history. I'm running OS 10.3.9 on a Quicksilver 2002 - originally a 933mhz. Two and a half months ago (Thanksgiving weekend) I upgraded several bits of hardware in my system to keep up with my needs (I'm a graphic designer and have been doing more and more 3D work). I...
