Hi All. I am not sure what's going on but I have been plagued by lines on the monitor for nearly a month now - I suspect as a result of applying the fix from the apple site for Leo. On top of this I am experiencing frequent lock ups and in particular poor performance with firefox. These lines...

I just returned from a 3 week vacation to the 10.4.10 update and a microsoft office update. Little by little I have noticed problems with firefox in the past 48 hours and now to my horror I cannot open any of the Office Suite, Skype Mate and a whole host of other apps without them quitting...

I was actually in System/Library/Startup - Nothing there prior to the reinstall DeltaMacs' Suggestion and reassurance did the Job - all is Hunk Dory but thanks nonetheless. And seemingly no data loss though I obvioulsy had to repatch fron 10.4.7 up to 10.4.9

Deltamac - you must have been a skilled Carpenter in another life - You hit the nail right on the head. Thanks my friend - worked like a charm. Also with this I was able to salvage those all important Fax-fix files from the 10.4.7 install and save them out (couldn't get them anywhere) so I have...

Hi - first of all I'm not sure what happened here - sorry deltamac I did not see this post abpout the install (not erasing) until now - maybe our posts overlapped. I have preciousl little in ~/system/library and Apacher is definitely not there. I can find Apache documentation etc in...

I must have explained that badly -- sorry If I double click the install packet on the disk the only thing it does is present em with the 'need to restart' screen (therefore disk is in machine). I can see no way of opning its' contents with pacifist! As for the optionals - As mentioned this...

DeltaMac - thanks for the reply - I have 2 options one is to install the OS with optional applications which is the one that requires the reboot (and as I have said I am terrified of that one as I have no way of backing up everything first. The second is just an install of the options which...

bump!!! Sorry but weird I have had so few replies. Surely someone else must have had this problem???

Thanks..... :) Yes - please read the initial post for more info. That's the whole point I am being asked to install from the disc - but where is the application??? cannot simplly clicj personal web sharing as you and 99% of the posts I have googled on the web seem to suggest. Is this...

Installed the combi as suggested - nothing doing though. :( Incidentally what is the difference between the combi and the regular update. Why is it called combi. Is it that it can be applied to both power and intel where the regular are processor specific? Realy bugs me still that message -...

bobw - Thanks this is not the first time you've been around when I have faced crisis (however some of the other issues as yet still go unresolved - like receiving faxes for example) Will give this a try - I have one major panic that if I try to do this via install mac and bundled softyware from...

Hi - I have had an extremely frustrating 4 hours or so between trying to google a solution to the problem and examining the contents of the installation disk with pacifist - I am still none the wiser. I have not tried to set up a localhost server on my Intel Mac running 10.4.9 I have had since...

Having a big problem with this... I downloaded the 10.4.8 update and the only way I can locate these files is in a file called Archive.pax. It only contains 2 of the files I need to replace: InternalModemSupport.kex and MotorolaSM56USM.kext I think this fix is for PPC and not Intel......

That is the very post I am talking about... I will give your suggestion a try... thanks again.

Hi - Thanks for the quick reply. Forgot to mention I do have this part correctly configured. What happens is that the phone just rings and rings and rings and the modem is not picking up the fax signal and intercepting it! There is obviously not a problem with the modem as I can send faxes...

Hi - I just got back from holiday in Peru to the latest round of updates. Since I have somehow regained my 'business head' I decided finally to try and configure the fax function on my Intel iMac. Sending seems fine.... no problems there. But with receive the phone just rings out and never...

- The horror story continues. dock freezes up in magnified state. won't hide or show properly - works sometimes fails others even cmd + opt + d won't work I have to go into Sys prefs or restart all the time to get it working (and then after about 3 visits to the doch it starts this behaviour...

Hi having had on going issues with Windows Media ion Mac I finally splashed out on Flip 4 Mac studio last week - I have the media Componets 2.1d package with the upgrade. Problem is a friend sent me a Video today coded with the MP9 codec - and the sound is digital and almost mute. I now find...

Gentlemen - thank you all for your help. Seems the problem was the stuffit cmi which is now sitting in a neutral folder. Is this the end of the saga or do I need that cmi? Can I delete it? Is there a fix for it now thatthe problem has been identified? This problem was driving me nuts...

I did mention originally that it is an intel mac running 10.4.8 Maybe I have to specify it's an iMac and not a Macbook - lest there be any big difference - the spec is still Intel and the OS is still 10.4.8! Contextual menu items were moved as suggested to the User/shared directory and I...
