    Photoshop startup problem

    Hi. I've had your problem before after installing Photoshop plug-ins. Uninstalling/reinstalling did the trick, but you have to be sure to delete the Adobe Folder from the Application Support folders in both your User's Library folder and Macintosh HD's Library folder before you reinstall.

    Using Terminal

    What you SHOULD see when you open Terminal is a window where the title bar says something like Terminal -- Bash -- 80x24 and the window's content ends in a line of text similar to your-computers-name:~ your username$ Making no assumptions, and meaning no insult, I just want to make sure you...

    Error 0x80020022 (can't burn a dvd)

    I've seen a lot of problems with Superdrives in the earlier G5s. There was a firmware update a while ago, here That might help. They seem to have issues reading Dual Layer DVDs as well. My brother-in-law's G5 won't read the Leopard disc, but using an External Drive installed it on his...

    ibook g4 sudden shutdown when unplugged

    I've run into this before, and in my case, doing a full set of resets did the trick. 1) Reset the PRAM by holding down Apple+Opt+P+R as soon as you press the power button to turn on the machine, keep the keys held until you hear the startup chime for the third time. 2) Then, boot while...

    Boot Camp set up on a iMac Core2Duo. Just recently, one of my Win XP users reported that her iTunes wasn't working. It had been previously. I look in the Sound Control Panel and am told that there are apparently "No Playback Devices" installed. I look in the Device Manager and don't...

    stuffit expander on OSX just "prepares" forever

    Migrating IMAP mailboxes to a new Server

    sorry for having posted to the wrong category initially! I'm looking for a good solution for migrating about 45 IMAP mailboxes from a nearly-full server to a new server (both hosted remotely by Rackspace, who won't help, since they won't be liable for data loss). Both systems utilize the...

    Smart Folder Lockup - System Freeze

    You may have to reset your Spotlight index. I find this is easiest to do using a maintenance program like Onyx (download from http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html) There is an option under the "Automation" tab that you can check to reset the index. Hopefully that should...

    Screen Shot Preferences?

    P'shaw, it's no problem. BTW, I just found THIS little app for changing both the filetype & location preferences for ScreenCapture (looks like a simple little Applescript GUI app) http://scriptbuilders.net/files/screenshotsettings1.1.html

    Screen Shot Preferences?

    yep, just type defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Full/Path/To/Folder while obviously replacing /Full/Path/To/Folder with the appropriate location (cheater's way is to create the folder, then drag that folder into terminal window to automagically generate the full path) Then...

    Problems transferring mail folders from eMac to Mac Mini

    Target Disk Mode is the best way to transfer settings from an old computer to another. (BTW, you can boot into Target Disk Mode (TDM) just by holding "T", no apple key necessary, and yes, the eMac's drive will appear as an external drive on the mini's desktop). The reason is that when a Mac is...

    Mac G3 Blue and White HELP!!!

    You can try a couple of things to see if you can get it to boot. First off, it never hurts to zap the PRAM (hold cmd+opt+p+r after startup chime until you hear the startup chime for the third time). So assuming you have the Jaguar installer in the drive, when you boot, hold down the "c" key...
