1. There is something called a Power Shutdown, and it ain't pulling the plug out of the wall. Do you have the basic book Apple gave you? Go to Apple Support Docs and copy how to perform same, also Safe Boot, Power Manager Reset, (diff keystrokes for each machine.) Do you own Disk Warrior...

Forgive me if this is too painfully obvious, but since Entourage will make a new database/user at start-up if it can't find the old one ... it might appear that your database is gone when in fact, you just need to find it and repoint the app there. I would do that, once I found it, by "switching...

Do some detective work. Firefox without extensions, or just a basic few - does that help? Sometimes it's just a matter of downloading a fresh copy of the browser. Sometimes it's having a too-bleeding-edge version of Firefox. How are other gecko browsers on the same sites? Mozilla, Camino...

You can also make invisibles visible however you wish (there are so many methods - I like MainMenu in my powerbook menubar, replaces numerous utilities) and drag that dot-trash folder into the Sidebar, where it remains visible (I don't know why, but don't tell Apple, they'll take it away) and...

The way I did it? Ha. You just have to outthink the OS, and at times like this, it isn't very hard: Rename the folder. Okay, provisos: Assuming you are confident in what you are doing, and probably some permission changes are needed, (XRay is handy to have in your contextual menu for this.)

am busy wracking brain for old solution to that very problem, 'cause i got it again ... i think last time i elimated all traces, all prefs etc, downloaded a fresh copy and relocated to main Apps folder (i have user apps too.) i'd like to know the cause, none of my poking around has revealed...

Before you go to any great lengths ... I would zap the PRAM and do a Restart with an fsky or use Applejack. Occasionally an Open Firmware startup not only clears the nv-ram but a host of naggy little problems. And run Disk Warrior. That and clean the heck out of yr system with MainMenu. ...

This makes no sense. I've seldom in many, many years on the Mac seen files disappear all by themselves. Of course, I'm not on Intel, but when you have the heart to, I hope you'll pursue what might have happened. Sure, backups are a great idea - but is Entourage capable of eating it's own...

oh joy oh joy, the Perian component goes in the Quicktime Folder and .... makes Quicktime play.... FLVs !!!

I'd run Disk Warrior, which I've seen deal all the time with things like incorrect folder counts. If you don't own it - yet - you could download Applejack, a great, free startup script. Assuming that repairing permissions hasn't helped, and that you've started up from your install disk and run...

Anyone found any general answers as to why Safari 2.0 might be so unstable? I don't think it's just me--I've always had well-maintained machines, and previous to 10.4.2, a Safari crash was a rarity. Have been over my own routines, add-ons etc, and nothing's changed--and no improvement by making...

I think an even better idea is to use the new Widget Manager in the latest update. It's best to leave the System widgets where they are, and enable or disable them with this widget, with the new Widgets preferences pane or similar utilities. One trick is to copy all the System Widgets into your...

Damn, and I closed my paypal account.

What do you think? I know I am sure as hell am not going to spend fifty bucks for some app to partition on the fly - Last time I looked, partitions were a big no-no, on X - always worked beautifully for me in years in classic, repairing one volume from the other - Then tonight I see post...

Is that all Apple memory?
