@Axlin: Yes, I did do that Open DNS thing and it really does make some sites load a lot faster. Also I took the advice of Hawaiian_Starman in the Apple forum and disabled IPv6, as I do not stream iTunes. Looks like you are not the only non-Verizon customer who benefited from the 4.2.2.2 fix...

Hey, thanX for that heads-up! Safari had been acting up on me for months now, and re-entering 4.2.2.2 in the DNS Server box seems to have fixed everything. Guess that when I updated to 10.4.8 that setting got erased-- know I entered it in like a year or so ago but had forgot all about it since...

Doesn't every update in OS X automatically defrag? I thought that was what the "Optimizing" process does, in the seemingly endless final stage before you have to restart your Mac.

I'm having a similar problem with my cursor in Safari. :(

Uhm, actually this is what you would want for your iMac, though I don't know if OWC ships to where you live. The important thing to know is that your machine has two slots for RAM, one on each side of the CPU card. One of them, I think the bottom slot, can only take the shorter, "low profile"...

Yeah, really. I can't get over how many Mac users I know use Firefox because they think Safari doesn't have Tabbed Browsing! :eek:

By unchecking all the extra languages and such, leaving only Basic System and BSD Subsystem when you install OS X, you can get away with a boot volume that uses up only about 3 GB. So you will have another 3 GB remaining of free space, but as Eric pointed out, you will need some of that for...

Have you installed the Schubert Word Browser Plugin? The Word Browser Plugin displays a text only preview of Word documents within your web browser. Anyway, it's free.

On that iMac you would need to install OS X within the first 8 GB of the HD. So with an HD of only 6 GB, no partition needed. But you probably will not have enough room left after installing Panther to do much with it. (Although I did manage to get Tiger up and running on my original 4 GB HD...

Verizon DSL, 3360 KBits/Sec by 736 KBits/Sec, $30/mo (on top of basic monthly phone service), unlimited d/l. Apparently Verizon is delivering 6 Mbps elsewhere, dunno if it is at the same price. Time Warner also offers RoadRunner in this area at a higher speed (and price) but its service was...

Lately, perhaps since 10.4.8?, my Safari browser has been acting up, cursor-wise. Hovering over a hyperlink will fail to highlight it (or to bring up previews in forums), the cursor arrow likewise neglecting to switch to the pointing hand. Mouse-clicking on the link will also fail to produce...

And as Steve Jobs pointed out, the problem with devices that rely on buttons for input is that they can't be altered or added to after manufacture. Obviously the iPhone was designed to accommodate the installation of new apps by way of Widgets, whether written by Apple or authorized third...

Fryke, do you think Tiger would be too demanding for a 350 MHz processor, or that 512 MB RAM would be insufficient? Because Tiger runs just about as tolerably as did Panther on my old BondiMac (which I have upgraded with a 500 MHz G4 card and maxed out to 512 MB RAM.) Now, while my iMac's CPU...

In my experience with seniors, I found the most useful thing was to show them how to enlarge the text and use the Help menus in each application, like in Safari for browsing. Less distracting than going back and forth between a book and the computer, and also reassuring for them to know what a...

Well I was finally able to resolve my problem. Somehow the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) settings I had entered in Mail got altered, and setting up new account automatically did not correct them. After manually altering the settings again to conform with the example here on the macosx.com email...

Deleting the account did not delete the rules, but it did not solve the problem when I recreated the account either. Also renaming a Mail account does not allow you to set up another one with the same user and server but that is kinda moot right now. Also when I recreated the account it did...

Oh no, won't deleting the account lose all my rules and everything it learned in training mode? Noooooo.... :( :( :(

Thanks Bob: Which port-- the server port under Server Settings... or Port under Advanced? Anyway tried each and still mail won't go through. Has Digital Crowd changed anything recently? (Under Server Settings, Server Port is 25, Authentication is None and Password is blank. Under Advanced...
