Well then maybe that is the difference between the PPC and Intel versions of Leopard, because I do not get the "Later" option after running the downloads, only an Install option. And as I said, hitting Install does not install, but rather re-downloads the same updates. Only after the second...

Do what, Install? Because there is no Restart button showing, only Install. SU won't close unless I hit Install. Having to restart manually from the Apple menu to dismiss SU is kinda counter-intuitive, if that is how it works...

Yeah I know that it has to install it first before restarting. The point I am trying to make is that SU actually downloads the updates twice, once in the "background", then again when I click Install. I have to wait for the downloads to complete both times. The fact that downloads are not...

Am running 10.5.5 on a G4. Whenever there is an update on SU, it first (supposedly) downloads in the background (it will show percent complete on the bottom of the SU window.) But then when I click on Install, I get the progress bars while it individually re-downloads the same updates. Then...

@ Fryke: Dunno. I don't have an Apple Mail to-do list in my Leopard Mail, but I am now seeing both a Sent and a sent-mail box there. Did recently import an address card from Leopard to Tiger, could that have caused the strange Tiger mailboxes? What mailboxes normally appear in macosx...

Just noticed all these superfluous sub-mailboxes in my macosx.com account. Never saw an Apple Mail to-do list there before, nor all those extra Sent boxes. :confused: Running 10.4.11 on my [PPC] eMac, have Leopard on an external FW drive not currently mounted.

Actually, having the original processor would not help you install Leopard, as it is not supported on machines running bellow 867 MHz. That said, there is an easy way to install 10.5, if you have a friend with a Leopard compatible PPC Mac. You can either plug your Mac's HD into your friend's...

Don't Mac users and gays alike each constitute about 5% of the population? One would expect Mac users to be less bigoted. Go Apple!

Sounds like you have one of the many eMacs with the bad capacitors. Dunno if Apple is still repairing them out of warranty, but if you do a Google search you'll find plenty of info. Edit: Oops, nixgeek beat me to it! Anyway, looks like you may be out of luck, as the last of those eMacs were...

Hey Gang. Just got a deal an eMac 1.42; when it arrives, would like install Leopard and transfer my User folder over from my Bondi iMac G3 (iForced to 500 MHz G4, running Tiger). Problem is, the older machine doesn't have firewire; without buying a new HD FW enclosure, is there a way...

Okay, it washes. But will it blend?

Update: Seems Apple has fixed the problem of repeated copies of internet radio stations accruing in iTunes with version 8. Hooray! I still like FStream, but it isn't good at playing archived streams, tends to hang pretty quick. Real Player 11 actually plays back archived material...

Flotsam & Jetsam, in what was once my chair.

For me Firefox 3 crashes immediately upon launch, as does it's Smart Crash Reporter. Deleted all its files and reinstalled thrice to no avail. No skin off my nose 'cause I prefer Safari anyway.

Hey Rhisiart, glad you got your Quicksilver back up and running. Wonder if maybe your PRAM battery is dead, think they don't last much beyond five years or so.

No, the RAM from the slot-loading iMac will not fit the tray-loader. OWC. You need a low-profile module for the lower slot, the upper slot can take the less expensive regular size module.

Rhisiart, have you taken a look at Unsanity's FruitMenu? It has a lot of great features in addition to bringing back the original functionality of the Apple Menu. I'm also addicted to their Xounds haxie, which brings back OS 9 style sound effects to mouse and keyboard actions, and to...

Try removing the icon from the Dock and relaunching Safari; then click on the Dock icon and select Keep in Dock from the pop-up menu.

Apple tells you to take it to an authorized service provider most likely so as not to void your warranty, which I assume is long past. Anyway, I had no problem changing the board on my iMac, and I'm an idiot. Looks like your QuickSilver is actually even easier to service, from the link you...

The desktop is actually very customizable through third party apps such as CandyBar and a bunch of Haxies by Unsanity, such as Shape Shifter, though the latter has not yet been updated for Leopard. You can also easily make the desktop "less pretty" by hiding the dock and, of course, changing...
