    Internet page display problems

    Hello, I have a very irritating problem with web pages. They don't display properly. It seems to be pages which are java-heavy; somehow, java just stops working (though this is my very inexpert interpretation based on a couple of Java error messages). Hence, Yahoo mail sucks, Facebook sucks...

    Spinning beachball & slow start up

    Gad, I've just fixed it. None of the above: apparently it was looking for an Airport hook up that was no longer there. Now I've re-established it, it's a happy iBook again. Thanks anyway! 'hay

    Spinning beachball & slow start up

    Hi y'all Running 10.3.9 on a G4 iBook, suddenly started getting a verrrrry slow start up. Everyting fine up to the log in screen, choose user, enter passw, go through bits of blue screen right up until the wallpaper loads then, bam, on with the brakes. Spinning beachball, plus date, time...

    Internet sharing / Airtunes dead end

    Good bump. Never did find a solution. I now go internet-airport-both macs, rather than sharing via BigMac. I may get another Airport station to boost the signal in another wing of 'Hay mansions and hook in the hi-fi at the same time. On a related note, any advice on how I can make the MyBook...

    DVR K04L Pioneer "Uncorrectable Error"

    Ok, thanks, I'll try those pointers. I've tried several blanks from the same batch of DVD-R (and they're Verbatim, which have never given me problems in the past) but maybe it's a bad batch. The drive also rejected a DVD-R I inserted yesterday onto which I had backed up a different movie which...

    DVR K04L Pioneer "Uncorrectable Error"

    Hi folks, I'm trying to back up a movie to a DVD-R using the DVR K04L Pioneer in my G4 17" iMac (running 10.4.11). It's always worked beautifully in the past, but suddenly I get the following message when Toast Titanium has finished compressing: The drive reported an error: Sense key =...

    Google blank in all my browsers

    Wow! It's not a complete fix, but thanks to simbalala for his post on the "sorry.google" thread. His http://72.14.207.99/ link works fine, and I've bookmarked it. It'd be nice to fix the toolbar and know from whence the problem comes, but it's great to have Google just a click away once more...

    Google blank in all my browsers

    Hi folks, Don't know if this is a Mac issue or an ISP one, but thought I'd try asking here as the Google support page is not helping much. I suddenly stopped being able to use Google.com. If I try to access the homepage, I just get a blank, and if I use the Google toolbar, it leads to a...

    Slow Speed problems

    Odd - I did send you a reply. Guess it didn't get through. Never mind. What exits for no reason - IP Scanner?

    Slow Speed problems

    IP Scanner will tell you if anyone is hijacking wireless bandwidth. It won't help you compose a thank you message to any forum members who you PM-ed asking how to post new threads, but that's ok, cuz that can happily wait until you've got your current problems sorted out. Good luck with that :)

    WARNING - don't install 10.4.11 - includes new, buggy Safari

    I dl-ed the update (having read the bit about Safari on the Apple page and wondering if I really needed it). Restarted, re-opened Safari and everything slowed way down: finder, firefox, vlc - basically everything except the fan, which went into overdrive. Kicked myself for not coming here and...

    camera in use by another application ichat

    Sorry to bump an ancient thread, but I had this problem too, and the solution is to download the latest version of iChatUSBcam (see the top Known Issue here). Just thought I'd mention it as no one ever posted a solution.

    How do I clear URLS from Safari address bar drop-down list

    If you click on the bookmarks "book" icon on the bookmarks bar, around fifth item down you'll see a "History" option. Choose your date, highlight the offending link and hit delete. Don't know if this is what you're after, but it's a way of selectively keeping your history in check.

    Internet sharing / Airtunes dead end

    Aloha - I'm using Internet Sharing between a G5 iMac (10.4.8) and a G4 iBook (10.3.9). I take the signal into the iMac via built in ethernet and then distribute it to the iBook via Airport. I do it that way because sometimes I like to work on the iBook in another room of the house. I have an...

    Airtunes to stream internet radio?

    Thank you. Not sure the first option will work because of the Pandora set up. But the second looks absolutely bang on. Funky too. Thanks again for the help
