Apple Knowledge Base article 25710 lists the mandatory fonts for OS X 10.3 as well as OS X 10.4 and where they should be found. Your quickest fix may be an archive and install of OS X 10.3 and then the OS X 10.3.9 Combo updater but you could use Pacifist to extract the missing font from the...

I am not sure from your post whether you have two copies of Tiger or not but installing the same copy of Tiger on two macs is a violation of Apple's Software License Agreement and is legally considered to be software piracy. Assuming you do have two legal copies of the Tiger install DVD the...

Since your G5 uses SATA there is no buss conflict between the two drives and there is no concern whatsoever with Master and Slave as that is meaningless to SATA. By any chance do you have System Preferences > Energy Saver set to "Put hard disks to sleep when possible"?

My solution for Microsoft Office app problems has always been to reinstall the whole Office suite and then rerun all the patches. It usually fixes the problem and can save hours of troubleshooting. But, I have been able to migrate almost everything I did in MS Office to compatible non-MS apps so...

A better plan, assuming you are in warranty or under AppleCare is taking your Book to the nearest Apple Store for repair. It sounds as if the DVD function of your SuperDrive has failed. It is quite common for SuperDrives to partially fail and less common for one to completely fail according to...

Get DVD-RW media not DVD+RW and that will likely solve the problem.

Unfortunately if the camera is connected via USB it is very unlikely VPC would work. VPC connectivity to USB devices other than the keyboard is very limited at best. The option that is more likely to work is to check the want ads or ebay for a really cheap used PC. Of course a new camera could...

At this point your best bet is to get a good set of Panther install CDs and start over with the installation. I would try an Archive Install since that would preserve your data. But, as badly hosed as you seem to be, it may be necessary to erase the HD before attempting the install. If you...

I haven't seem that message since Jaguar and it was pretty common in OS X 10.1. According to Apple you can ignore the message and go ahead and open the Mailbox without endangering anything. This usually happens when for some reason Mail is not shut down properly and has nothing to do with...
