Yes, but what do you mean by "shut down"? What does the Airport icon on the menu bar indicate? Do you have a program such as iStumbler that will report the signal strength? Are there other computers on your network and are they able to access the Internet?

What do you mean by "shut down"? On my Intel iMac running OS X 10.5.x, occasionally the Airport connection dies. The Airport icon in the menu bar shows a strong signal. The iStumbler program shows a strong signal. But no connection. This can usually be corrected by clicking on the...

OS X 10.5.3, Intel In an earlier version of OS X, perhaps as early as 10.4.9, I had installed the printer icon permanently on the dock. For reasons I won't go into I had to delete and reinstall the printer app. I am left with a question mark icon on the dock titled "HP Deskjet 5900...

In SYSTEM PREFERENCES => SECURITY => FIREWALL I have selected "Set access for specific services and applications". In the selection list I have set "Allow incoming connections" for iChatAgent.app, iChat.app, and Xquartz.app (among others). Nonetheless, about every third or fourth boot I...

I was remiss in not posting the solution to my problem. I couldn't print via Bonjour and couldn't add the printer because I was told I needed authentication. The solution was given me by one of the techs here: add the printer from an Administrator account. (I of course normally run from...

Photoshop Elements 2 won't run under Mac OS X 10.5.1 "Leopard" so I bought Elements 4. I have only seen this with B&W photos, but I haven't been working with anything but B&W so it may happen with color, too. After Photoshopping and saving a picture, sometimes the picture will appear in...

Printing works from this computer to the printer that is connected to one of its USB ports. It does not work from the other computer via Bonjour, because something, presumably on this computer, demands authentication. An AppleScript on this computer that relates to printing similarly demands...

Thanks for the response. Printer sharing is on, as it has been since Tiger. Ditto for the Firewall. In any case, that wouldn't have anything to do with the behavior of the AppleScript. I found two updates, to Quicktime and Security. Downloaded and installed, they make no difference to...

Not in the File menu. The Window menu, which is on the right next to Help.

If you can select it, then try clicking on Window >> Zoom

I have a printer attached to this iMac and my wife has been printing to it from her iMac G5 over the Airport network. After upgrading both machines to Leopard she can no longer print. When printing in Tiger, the networked printer appeared in her dropdown window and all she had to do was...

We have an iMac and an iMacG5 both running Tiger, and no IM server. I want to be able to send instant messages between the two computers using iChat and Bonjour over an 802.11g WiFi net. I believe I have everything set correctly and identically on the two machines. I have verified that Port...

Tunes > Preferences > Playback > Shuffle > Groupings is set. But iTunes ignores my groupings when shuffling. It shuffles individual movements of classical pieces. Suggestions? OS X 10.4.11, iTunes 7.5 (19), Intel iMac

A little letter P has appeared at the lower right corner of the Firefox window. It's a link to the Pronto shopping site. I have no idea how it got there and I don't want it. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it?

The program was owned by the admin account. Changing the ownership to my user account seems to have solved the problem. Thank you.

A copy of Photoshop Elements 2.0 came with the scanner I bought. I've been happily using it for months with my Intel iMac, but it has an odd behavior that is a minor annoyance. Every time PE is opened it will, over the next five or ten minutes, send two error messages saying "Could not...

My problem (see earlier) is almost completely solved. Airport almost always connects automatically. Maybe it was obvious to everyone else, but I had to stumble on the solution, which was to, in System Preferences > Network > Airport, choose "By default join: Preferred networks", THEN click on...
