I wasn't getting too far so I decided to reload 10.4 (using Archive and Install) and then Combo upgrade to 10.4.4. Without changing anything on the PC I can now easily map my PBook and that website I could not view on either Safari or Firefox now loads fine. I'm not sure exactly what was...

>I am very comforatable saying that the update, as coincidental as it seems, didn't break the PB. That certainly is possible it just seems very odd that these errors started happening at the same time. Thanks for your assistance so far. I will try the things you mentioned and let you know...

I have just started to notice that the PB is now running very warm (55-59'C) when it's idle (ie: no software is running just the finder). It used to only do this kind of temperature when I was doing video editing. Now, it just starts the cooling fan while nothing is running. I'm very...

Hello UpQuark77, Yes, my PB can network with my G4 and the G4 can network with the Windows PC. The PB used to be able to network with the Windows PC before the 10.4.6 upgrade. All machines have internet access. I go to the System Preferences and copy the Windows Sharing info (ie...

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing any "hiccups" from updating to 10.4.6 but I have 2 major issues that have resulted and I would caution others before upgrading. 1) I used to have my 12" PowerBook connected (via my router) to my Windows PC (since I require both for work) but now...

I really appreciate your help, I now understand (from a hardware viewpoint) why it wasn't working and doubt I could of figured this out on my own without experiencing much frustration... Thanks for the links, I will forge ahead with this solution! I hope I can be as usefull to others as...

I have an iMac G5, 1.9GHz, running 10.4 and I have just loaded Final Cut Pro 4.5 . Everything seems to have installed ok, but when I try to run the program it comes up with an error message "Hardware not found: AGP graphics card". I find this perplexing since the same Final Cut Pro ran just...

Ok, got it. Thanks for your help. I will give it a try! Appreciate it. Cheerio

I am fairly new to Mac OSX and I just finished updating my OS to 10.4.3 However, now my spotlight rarely works and says "no results found" when I know there are files by that name on my hard drive. If it does work it usually takes about 30 sec, where before the upgrade it took maybe 2-3 sec...

Well, I managed to update the OS by using the web browser and it seems to have fixed the "Software Update" crashes mentioned earlier. I haven't used FCPro that much recently so I can't say whether or not it has also fixed that occasional "unexpected quit" error as well. There is hope...

I seem to be experiencing a few difficulties with my 500 Mhz, G4 tower. Whenever I try to use the "Software Update" under Finder it goes through the motions "checking for software" and then justs quits in an instant giving me the message "the application Software Update quit unexpectedly". I...

I am running 10.4.2. I upgraded from 10.1 a few months ago using this same dvd. The Tiger dvd is retail. Yes, my G4 has a DVD burner in it, I upgraded the burning unit when the original CD Rom died. I don't think I ever booted up from this DVD, I just upgraded from 10.1 to 10.4. I tried...

I am trying to erase my one and only hard drive to start things fresh but when I try to boot from the install DVD ROM (I tried holding down the "c" key, 1st try, then the "C" key, 2nd try, then the Cmd/opt/shift/delete keys, 3rd try) but nothing happens. It just carries on to the login screen as...

I just bought a Airport Extreme base station and hooked it up to my 17" PowerBook, I also have an airport express (on extend option) that has my printer hooked up to it. What I would like to really do is work from my boat dock which is about 150 ft away and 30 downhill from my office where...

I am running FCP Express 2.0.3 on both my 12", 867Mhz, 640 Mb ram, PowerBook and also on my G4, 500Mhz, 1gig ram, tower. Both units are running 10.4.2. When I hook up the Canon 100MC DV camcorder to the PowerBook everything works just fine. I can capture, edit and export. I can edit and...

Ok, well that's good to know. I guess I will stop looking for a way to do this then. Thanks for your help. Zeddeh

I am using Toast 6.0 running on OSX 10.4.2. I've just recently transferred all my working files from my XP machine to my G4, tower and so am used to putting a partially burnt DVD in, using Nero and updating either newer versions of the files I have or including ones not yet there thus giving...

Yes, I could see how this might happen, and what I am trying to avoid. I think until I can get documentation to prove otherwise I will let it cool down every few hours after doing heavy video editing, this way hopefully protecting both the cpu and the hard drive. Apple might say "Hey, no...

I have read many threads here but nothing specifically to answer this question. I am using a 12" PowerBook as my main computer and lately I have been doing lots of video editing in FCPro sometimes for 8-10 hours at one time. I don't mind that the fan comes on a lot but when the cpu temp goes...

This posting is for future reference for people considering buying an older used 12" PowerBook. I own a September 2002, 12" PowerBook, 867Mhz, and after calling Apple twice and visiting 3 local Mac dealers I've concluded that there is no way to hook up an Apple 15" display (ADC connector) to...
