    Safari Tiger Services CONTEXTUAL GONE

    I use DEVONthink often to store tidbits items from web pages via a SERVICES Contextual menu popup choice in Safari. This worked fine with previous OSX versions 10.3.4 etc. Under Tiger & Safari 2.0 the Services menu choice is missing from Contextual popup on all Safari pages. This...

    Sticky Brain, Omni Outliner or something else?

    The choice here is going to be very much subjective and individual choice/ preference. I tried StickyBrain 3.x and Circus Ponies Notebook, but settled on DevonTHink 1.9x. DevonThink seemed to be able to handle large data sets much faster and easier. (I seemed to have dumped large amounts...

    URL sites ending in .tk not accessible Safari

    Sorry for confusion. I'd just read some post on usenet about comments on iBooks and link failed. The .tk URL was unusual. I thought I'd encountered it before (likely my fragile "organic between the ears memory"). Probably was that Pemberton guy. Google search turned him up with the two .tk...

    URL sites ending in .tk not accessible Safari

    What are those www.xxxxx.tk sites? Why are they not working (apparently not listed in my DNS which is Roadrunner). I have run across several references to them and none work with Safari or FireFox. Any hints? www.macwizard.tk was an example. Thanks for advice & comments.

    Need new inkjet HP suggestions please

    My old 8302C HP just died refusing to print yellow. Bought new color cartridge $30 and still won't print yellow. NUTS. Replacement time. Had Epson years ago with 6100. Printed fine but seemed to clean on every start and inkjet printhead could clog easily. Prefer HP which replace printhead...

    Corrupted Address Book 10.3.4

    Finally fixed it. Trashed all files for addressbook.xxx in ~/lib/appsupport/addressbook/ and replaced suspect corrupted Address Book app (original in 10.3.4 install I think was version 3.2???) with one from an older OSX install, version 3.1.1. Two other versions I found would also not run...

    Corrupted Address Book 10.3.4

    How can I fix this? What files to delete? Or how to reinstall Address Book defaults? I never had used Address Book in OSX. I decided to try it on my on G4 running 10.3.4. I am uncertain but think Address Book was running before I did this. I used Address Book Sync 1.0 (from Now Software)...

    Safari only opens pages on the second try

    I also had this problem on occasion In Safari 1.22 (v125.7) OSX 10.3.4 recently. With IWON.com pages would be blank. I solved the IWON problem by using Cocktail utility to clear various caches. In Cocktai under System/Cache/ I cleared System, User & Internet caches, Swap files, and Safari...

    Why doesn't traceroute work?

    Unfortunately for me, it still fails with my router after trying (with trepidation as I am not UNIX savvy) you suggestion above. It failed with my router, MIH 130A XRouter Pro from MacSense (XSense.com). The router works fine otherwise. I can do a TraceRoute ONLY with IPNetMonitor with...

    Monitoring DSL Activity

    The suggestion to use the activity monitor (look in Utilities in applications folder or just use GO in menubar/Utilities/ and use the Activity Monitor section related to Network) will work as a standalone application. You might also try MenuMeters, a shareware utilitiy which places useful...

    My computer has blue balls!

    I just upgraded a G4 to Panther 10.3.3 via Archive & Install. As I was enabling various utilities I thought I got the BLUE BALL too. In my case it seems I was trying out a newer version of DragThing 5.1. A Blue Ball (spot) with a number appeared on the desktop TRASH can Dragthing installs by...

    OSX 2+ copies of an app --which is running?

    How do you tell which app is running if you have two or more copies of same app in various partitions or volumes on your Mac? I just installed a new larger 200GB hard drive and Carbon Copy CLoner cloned a copy of my older Jaguar OS to the new drive and Archived & Installed Panther on the new...

    Traffic Treshold ??

    The wording "traffic threshold exceeded 200MB" seemed familiar. I finally remembered where I'd seen it. Do you have any version of NetBarrier from Intego installed? If so, launch the program, and under PREFERENCES/TRAFFIC you will see an option about "warn if network traffic exceeds" with...

    iTunes peculiarities Panther/Jaguar shared library

    It is now working correctly, perhaps due to my installing the two recent security updates for Panther. After weeks of frustration and no luck, and fiddling with preferences, all the sudden the iTunes 4.1 on both the G4s one running Jaguar 10.2.4 and the other Panther 10.3.1 with current...

    iTunes peculiarities Panther/Jaguar shared library

    I have a simple home LAN of two G4s one running Jaguar the other testing Panther. The Jag one had iTunes 4.0 and Panther one iTunes 4.01. I discovered I could not access the main MP3 library on the Jag G4 from the Panther on via sharing. A dialog said "library incompatible". It could see and...

    Good Spell Checker??

    You might check out SpellCatcher X. Batch and interactive spellchecking global across all apps and OSX elements including Finder. I have used SpellCatcher (in older OS9.x too for years) X in Jaguar without problems. Rainmakerinc.com now has distribution of SpellCatcher X. There are some...

    Kensington StudioMouse - trouble and a headache

    You might at least try USB Overdrive (check it out at versiontracker). In Jan 2000 I bought Kingsington TurboBall. Mouseworks had all sorts of problems (never resolved I don't think either) and gave up on Kingsington drivers and tried USB Overdrive. This worked perfectly for the TurboBall...
