When did you buy your Mac? Was it ever used or refurbished?

If the time reverts to 1904 then you probably need to replace the internal battery. It can cause a lot of problems. Lets hope that might be it. If not, the logic board could be going bad...

Do you have the original install disk that came with your PowerBook? If so, you can try the Apple Hardware Test. Hold option during restart and it should come up in the startup manager.

That was going to be my next suggestion too... ;) Good luck to ya!

I have an external LaCie HD that I use with Tiger with no problems. I believe I had to do a clean install for it to work though. You can also go to the LaCie website to download their update tool to check for latest firmware. Have you tried the usual repairs with disk utility? (permissions and...

Did booting from cd work? If so, try to repair the disk. I didn't see it on your "tried" list. You can also type fsck -y from single user mode to do the same. (there is a space before the hyphen) Also, try verbose mode. ( hold apple key and V ) It's similar to single user mode, but shows info...

Try using disk utility first to repair permissions. You can also startup using a new account, and see if that helps with any possible conflicts. I have heard of people moving any old files in the iMovie folder to a temporary one, and then try loading movies with some success... Also, thru disk...

First, I would recommend updating to the latest software. (For tiger, it's up to 10.4.11 ) The program itself is in -Finder-applications. (version 1.4) Do you not have the app?

You stated that you have a "massive" drop in performance untill you have to force quit everything or reboot. And then, after you reboot, it won't start right away, and you believe it's related to temperature. And yet, you state that the G5 is known for heat related issues, but you say that it's...

I have found a few temperature monitors at softpedia.com for the G5. You could try some of those programs if you believe it has a heat issue. Please post any results you may have.

No need to apologize. I'm sorry if I "sounded" rude at all. It's just that some problems are hardware or software specific, and the more info we have, the better we can help. Is everthing working ok now?

To force quit an application, you can go to the Apple menu (top left) and choose force quit and then the application. You can also do the same on the dock. Click and hold till a sub-menu comes up. As far as crashing when saving, do a get info command on the folder you are saving to, (apple key...

As fryke once said; "Windows is obtrusive. It gets in the way. All the time. The Mac doesn't." I am a Mac user, forced to deal with windows, because of my wife and children. I have tried. I swear I have. For a few years now. "Annoying" doesn't even justify it. Windows software, will let anybody...

I do agree with the other users. The easiest and safest way is to get the install disk back. However, having said that, I did download the file myself and it does appear to be for Leopard. There is some info that comes with it that you can read. (which appears to be THE manual for the Leopard...

Try this link... http://files.filefront.com/bootcamp+driverszip/;9052909;fileinfo.html I think this is what you're looking for.

Is the router Mac specific? ( does it come with software for the mac ) If not, it needs to be set up on a windows machine first, but should work fine. http://192.168.0.1 is the default address for that router. Also you can try using Safari with that address and see if you can access the router...

If this sounds redundant, I apologize. I would try a partition so you have 2 separate volumes, and install OS X on both. Start up each one and compare files, problems, etc. If both still don't work, there has to be a problem with the drive. It sounds like the drive reads and or writes at...

Do you have an external hard drive or another Mac you could use as one? It would isolate if it's just the hard drive ( and what's on it ) or some other hardware in your Mac that could be affecting it. Also, where are those files located on your HD?

Could you tell us which ISP webmail website you are referring to?
