Hello All. Having recently come from Windows, I have activated the OSX Firewall from 'Sharing'. When ever I check the console (being somewhat paranoid) I see this message and was wondering if I could or should correct it somehow. Computer mDNSResponder: NOTE: Wide-Area Service...

I didn't realize you couldn't use Apple apps. on any machines you personally owned. Barring that, I did try to use a thumb drive to copy Appleworks, but it ran out of space. Apparently Appleworks is several gigs. I really only need the word processor and would copy only that if I...

Hi. I have an iBook that has Appleworks on it that I would like to copy (not move) to a used G4 I just bought on Ebay. Both machines have OS 10.4.3 on them and I would like to know if I can use a regular Ethernet cable which I have, or do I need a crossover cable. I don't quite understand the...

Hi. I noticed a reply regarding Security Updates from SatCure that asked if the viewer had 'repaired permissions' before and after downloading the updates. Is this a recommended procedure for all system updates or just Security updates or not a good idea......Thanks Dean M

Hi. I would like the built in iMac G4 iMail to be fully functional. It will download my Earthlink webmail messages and attachments in an instant, and I can compose but I can't SEND. I don't want to pay $99 for the Mac.com just for the Email program which looks the same but isn't. Is...

Thanks guys. I'll look into both programs ! Dean M

Hi. I'm looking for an inexpensive desktop publishing type program that will do greeting cards and simple things using my own photos. Nothing too complicated but has good graphics. Any suggestions? Thanks . Dean M.

Thanks Symphonix. Your a Hoot (an obscure musical term?) Sorry to take up so much of the forums time for such a dumb thing. Picky I guess. Dean M

Lt M.B. NO. Not 'backspace' I need a keystroke to return to the page or window or whatever that has just been viewed. As I said, I can use the 'previous' arrow or 'back' option with control-click. I want to add a keystroke to my four button Kensington trackball that performs the 'back' or...

Hi Is there a keystroke for 'back' ? I know in websites I can click the left arrow for 'previous' or the contextual menu from the mouse for 'back' but I would like to be able to put the keystroke on my Kensington mouse buttons. I did a search on this site, but didn't find anything...

Thanks folks. I'll try the CSS thing. I should have said that in IE under Internet Options the choice is 'accessbilites' which I think is for the handicapped. I'm sure I can figure it out.....Ta Dean M.

Hi. Is there a way set the font size and text so that all websites appear the same? I know I can use the keyboard for individual sites but in Internet Explorer you could choose this in IE options 'abilities' Thanks. Dean M

Well, I'll be damned! Pretty clever. I don't know how it got set that way, but now that I know it's not a system bug, I think I'll use it. Thanks macbri, another save!

Hello. For the last few days, when I boot or restart my iMac G4 the screen opens with a dark blue border about 1/4 in. wide all the way around. It will go away if I click on it, but if I leave it, it will suck up open apps. or whatever is on the screen. I can't make it happen but it seems...

Hi. A few weeks ago I used 'Tinker Toy' to 'show hidden files'. I thought some of these belonged to a program that I uninstalled several weeks ago, so I dragged them to the trash. I later realized that they are probably related to 'Spotlight' or 'NotLight'. Trash does not have a 'restore'...
