To markiam: Have you tried rebuilding your Mailbox (select your Inbox, then select "Rebuild" from the Mailbox menu)? I used to run into this problem a lot using IMAP accounts in particular, tho it hasn't happened since the move to Leopard. To weknowjack: Your problem sounds completely...

You can fix both! To turn on the Progress Meter again, just run these 2 commands in Terminal: and then Then restart Safari. To get the old Stop/Reload button, just right click an empty pixel in the toolbar and choose "Customize Toolbar" and Boom! There it is waitin to get dragged back...

The usual fix I use for this is to save the files to a local Mac from AFP, delete them from the share, then put them back up via SMB. Might eat up a weekend, but it should save you. From what I have gathered, the problem is the file's Resource fork not being recognized on SMB when it was...

Do both of your shift keys move fully when you press them (i.e. doesn't feel like something is obstructing them)? Do either of them feel at all like they're sticking? You could try (since it's already most likely broken) just semi-aggressively hammering both shift keys several times, just to...

You could always try choosing "Reset Safari" from the Safari menu, which MIGHT help, but Mikuro is probably closer to the actual problem.

Hi there, It sounds like one of your SHIFT keys is broken, locked in the Down position. That would explain booting into Safe Mode, as well as typing in all caps in Single User Mode. Unless there's obvious signs of damage (spilled coffee, etc), Apple store should fix it since (unless you...

Here's the $4 solution. Buy a male-to-male 1/8" audio cable (like this one) Run it from the Headphone port to the Mic port on your Mac. Then all you have to do is start the text-to-speech going, and use a free program like Audacity to record it. Panther's text reading isn't that great...

Hey all, I have a user who needs to archive calendar events located on an Exchange server from Entourage 2004. I know this process is fairly straightforward in Outlook, but in Entourage, the File -> Export feature only allows me to export LOCAL calendar data, it would appear. Is...

try a batch of resets: PRAM - hold Command+Option+P+R just after the startup chime, keep holding until you hear the chime 2 more times NVRAM - hold Command+Option+O+F just after the startup chime, and once you see w white screen w/ black text show up, release the keys and type reset-nvram and...

If you have the Restore DVD that came with your mac, follow these instructions that I copied from here: I would add to these instructions that you should also click the "Repair Permissions" button while you're in here, which is also a likely culprit to your problem. ANOTHER NOTE: If you're...

You are certainly not alone. Thankfully, there's a website with user-created replacements for Leopard's dock: leoparddocks.com. You can even get a program called ChangeDock to help you swap them out easily here: http://leoparddocks.com/download/ChangeDock.zip or change out your dock manually...

Exactly. For the iBook G4, the only tool you should need is a small phillips screwdriver. You can find the step by step take-apart guide over at ifixit.com/. Take care.

It's possible that the goo that holds the heatsink on the processor might have dried up & loosened. It could explain the symptoms at least. If you're very patient and twice as careful, powerbooks aren't very hard to take apart. It may be worth looking at ifixit.com/guide to see if you think...

From your post, I gather that since installing Leopard, your iBook hasn't booted. Leopard raised the minimum RAM needed for a mac to even attempt booting (I believe it's 512mb now, but I know it's more than 256, correct me if I'm wrong, people.) If you meet the minimum, then try removing and...

Are you sure your G5 has a superdrive? Your example is what is supposed to happen when you insert a DVD into a drive that can's burn DVDs. If you aren't sure what kind of drive you have, you can open the System Profiler (Mac HD -> Applications -> Utilities) and click the "ATA" in the left...

Unless I'm terribly mistaken, if the boot process never even gets to the little gray Apple logo on the screen, then it can't get to Single User mode, as the gray apple appears once the Kernel is loaded, which is required by S.U. Mode. If you go back a few steps to the direction to boot into...

http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/audio/9778/ Here's the cheapest solution I've found that works with Mac. Works pretty decent as well, according to reviews. Of course, it will only ever sound as good as an audio cassette. But the cost of replacing your cassette collection can be offset by...

It's true. Lots of other people have this issue with early G5s. If the firmware update doesn't help, and your warranty has run out, then unfortunately, your option is to replace the superdrive. You can find a link in my above post for a $30 Dual-Layer burner that is faster and more stable...

Hi Zigawag. Try this. Go into your Home Folder -> Library -> Preferences and find a file called com.apple.Preview.plist. Move it to the Trash. Try opening Preview again. Does it open now?

Doubtful it's a virus... but definitely run Onyx. If Onyx doesn't outright fix the problem, then open Terminal (in Applications/Utilities) and enter the following (NOTE: always back up your files beforehand, just in case) sudo chmod -R 744 ~/Documents and hit enter. you'll be warned about...
