I installed 10.2 last week. It's been great: this is one smooth, slick operating system! But for the past few days, when i choose sleep it takes probably 25 seconds for it to sleep. it went to sleep immediately before when I first installed. Any ideas? I'm running PB G4 550/512mb ram...

That works really well! Thanks! I didn't realize it would work that easily. We're set now - much easier than moving the drive back and forth javascript:smilie(':)') Thanks again! I appreciate your quick reply. PD

Ok, this might be a silly question but who cares... My girlfriend and I have a small network with a dsl modem, router, two computers and a printer. We just bought a firewire drive for backup purposes. What are our options for backup? We have retrospect desktop which works perfectly but is...

Thanks Cockneygeezer! I rebuilt the database using the advanced function and now everything works perfectly, no crashes at all. After using Mail for a few days, I'm actually quite happy to go back to entourage - mainly because of the way mail handles folders and also the lack of many of the...

I don't think it gets worse, at least it didn't with my powerbooks. It was the same for me: it didn't flicker all the time. In fact the first time it happened I called APple and when I was on the phone it stopped flickring so I told them it was fine. THe next morning though.... Good luck!

i've had four pb g4s -three were 1st gen. 400mhz units and all developed flickering screens in the lower left corner. Apple replaced the LCDs on all of them but it tunrned out that it was a common problem with the inverters of the first generation pb g4s so that didn't help. Finally Apple gave...

Although Mail is not as feature rich as entourage I'm going to give it a try to see how I like it. Hopefully Apple will release updates to it to make it better. thanks! PD

I have a powerbook G4 550mhz with lots of ram. Often Entourage X unexpectedly quits after I've launched it. I get the splash screen and the application window and then, when checking for new mail, it just quits. I have no idea what it can be. It's unpredictable and I haven't been able to see a...

I just got a replacement powerbook G4 550mhz from Apple - MacOS 10.1.3. Every time I wake it up from sleep, the menu bar disappears and I need to drag the cursor over it for the text to reappear again. It's as though it forgets to redraw that section after sleep. Everything else works...

Hi Is there any other software that allows you to bounce emails the way the Mail app allows you to? I use entourage X and would like to have the function? Thanks!

Thanks - that works splendidly! I'm not against copyright protection but I feel this is pushing it too far. I feel it will only go downhill from here... Thanks again. PD

I installed office x on my and my wife's computer. We're both connected to a dsl router. We can't both run office applications at the same time because MS has implemented a copy protection scheme that checks if there are other copies on the LAN. I can't believe it. Sure, the license is for ONE...

But isn't 384mb ram enough??? that's three times what Apple says is the minimum... I have that and still PD

No, I don;t sit around resizing windows all day. In fact, I like Macos x a lot. What I don't get is how a modern, new OS that is supposed to be one of the most powerful systems around can't handle a simple task like windows resizing....,to my uneducated brain, it just doesn't make sense. All...

Am I to understand that we can send people to the moon and transplant their hearts, but we can't get smooth window resizing in the year 2001???? I;m happy at least that windows xp has bad resizing too. At least we don't have to hear the bs from xp users that our windows are slow... Not a big...

I was using windows 2000 today and noticed how EXTREMELY smooth window resizing is in explorer and other applications. There is no lag whatsoever on a machine that is at least a year old. Then I went back to osx 10.1 running on my powerbook G4 with 384mb ram and was a little depressed. It's so...

I just realized that my system is back to 10.1 now. I guess reinstalling the 10.1 update on top of 10.1.1 removed the latter. I've noticed something itneresting on my powerbook though. I've had this machine since August, using it everyday for aroun 6-8 hours. Never has the fan gone off before...

Hi! I did the same thing. It's a great printer but Samsung seems useless in terms of getting those drivers ready. I talked to them 6 weeks ago and they said the driver was being prepared and would be released soon. Nothing yet. Worse still, they keep on cheating people by putting the driver...

I updated from 10.04 to 10.1 (5G64?), then updated security, then the installer and, finally, 10.1.1 update. I don't know anything about the other builds...could you elaborate please?

For the record, I'm not bitching. I'm making a point that for the average user ANY problem is huge and shouldn't occur when following Apple's advice and recommendation. Having said that, I agree that we should try to get to the bottom of this. Here's my setup: I have a Powerbook G4...
