Almost any action seems to trigger it. It is not program-specific. II have looked at the log but the only reference to a crash is this: Thread 2 crashed with PPC Thread State 64: srr0: 0x000000000101870c srr1: 0x100000004200f030 vrsave: 0x0000000000000000 cr...

Wow, there are a lot. One problem is that many seem to be imbedded within programs (i.e. OmniGraffle) so the only way to remove them is to remove the program "/Applications/OmniGraffle.app/Contents/Library/Spotlight/OmniGraffle3.mdimporter",

The console shows this happening about once every minute Jan 7 10:14:06 Mike-Adams crashdump[1017]: mdimportserver crashed Jan 7 10:14:06 Mike-Adams crashdump[1017]: crash report written to: /Users/adams/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/mdimportserver.crash.log

Aha! I am getting a string of mdimporter crashes that coincide with the slowdowns. Now if I just knew what that means and how to fix it......

I have a 2.7Ghz G5 with 1GB RAM and running 10.4.3. About two days ago i started to have a problem. Almost every operation, starting a program, opening a window etc. causes the spinning wheel to appear. This will be there for up to a minute and then the operation will proceed. Activity monitor...

I have had no luck trying to use the Freeverse site, and can't even contact them to report it. Both their Support and About pages come up blank. I was trying to download trial versions of some of the games but with no luck. Spartan says there are no files, Legion fives a 'page not found' and...

I agree with PowerMac, it sounds like the reset switch needs to be pressed. This most often happens after a forced shut down, such as a power loss. It is usually a round mettalic button, about 1/4" across, and partially protected by an open box. Press it once for a few seconds and then wait...

Updater keeps trying to make me download LiveType 1.2. Since I don't want it, I uncheck the box and say 'No thanks'. Next day, it's back again. Finally I said, OK: download the upgrade. After the download it tells me it can't be installed since I never had the original. Next day, it wants to...

OK, I made a really dumb msitake and trashed a folder containing some Keynote files. I am using 10.3.9 and have not done anything that might have overwritten the files. Any advice on the best way to recover them? Thanks

I have a G4 running 10.3.9 and Photoshop 7. I bought the upgrade for CS2 but during the installation it stops with the message 'there were errors in installation'. I have spent several hours on the phone with Adobe and they claim it must be a problem with my operating system. However, other...

Riccbhard You are probably right: the CD drive has no effect open/closed/in use. I will listen at the fan vent

My wife's eMac (1.25 GHz, 10.4.1) intermittently emits a high-pitched whining sound. This is not coming from the speakers, nor does it correlate with drive activity. As far as I know, the only other moving part is the fan. Has anyone had a similar problem,, and fixed it? Thanks

Satcomer: thanks. Right now Detour seems to really mess up Tiger,, so I will wait for a rewrite

Is there a way to only allow the sound from one program to be heard? If I am listening to iTunes, I don't want sounds from other programs to intrude. I know many allow programs you to mute their sound, but I would like a 'mute all programs except xxx' ability. Has anyone created such a utility...

Yes, that's how I get it to work, but it is a pain and presumeably I shouldn't have to do that. I can also print from the software that comes with the label printer, but that is also not always the optimal solution.

Aaaaaargh!! I attached the wrong file! The real one says LabelWriter 330 next to Printer.

This should be small enough, I didn't see the file size limit before

Well, it says it has attached the file but I can't see anything in the editing mode.

Yes, I have attached (I think) a picture of the options immediately prior to printing.

I just attached a Dymo label maker, and want to print out address labels from Address book. Even though the Dymo printer is selected in the print options, Address book still prints to the laser printer. I am running a G4 using 10.3.7 Any ideas?
