I'm running 10.3.9 on a dual 1.25 GHz G4 and over the last few weeks I've been getting problems with applications not responding and everything generally slowing down. When I run DiskWarrior it tells me in red that: Incorrect values in the Volume Information were repaired. Each time, DW...

I'm running 10.3.9 on my dual 1.25 GHz G4. Suddenly today I couldn't get any browser to connect: I tried Safari, Firefox and finally IE. Backup connected straight away while I was trying to get one or more of the browsers to load anything at all. On the PC, everything is normal. On the G4 mail...

I'm using a scattershot approach on this problem, as I don't know whether it's an HP, Adobe or Panther thing. I have a fairly new HP2420d, printing via USB. In the couple of months I've had it, once I'd discovered that it sulked if connected via a USB hub, everything's been fine. Until...

OK, I've tried to get an answer to this from the HP site/forum/tech support but I'm rapidly losing the will to live over there, so I wonder if anyone here has any ideas. I have a brand new HP LJ 2420d which appeared to work perfectly via the USB connection with my G4 dp 1.25GHz, running...

I'm increasingly getting problems with clients not being able to open pdf files, usually generated from InDesign documents, but sometimes from Word, and sent as email attachments from my G4 (running 10.3.6 – it ain't broke so I haven't fixed it with any later updates). They're getting a message...

My G4, running 10.3.5, just developed narcolepsy. Booting in safe mode, I get the repeated message 'Power management received emergency overtemp signal'. It's obvious what that means, but I have no idea what to do about it. Is it something I can fix myself - I'm not exactly expert but I have...

All of a sudden I can't get to the UK music store. I get "You must upgrade to the latest version of iTunes in order to use the iTunes Music Store". I have the latest version (4.6, right?). Just in case, I downloaded and reinstalled. No good. I can get access to what I assume is the US store...

KongisKing.net has a bunch of desktops for OS X, for those who don't mind a huge ape's face staring at them all day ....

Not sure whether this should be here or somewhere else, but here goes. Anyone got any clues as to why installing the iPod update would have hosed my ethernet connection. There's nothing wrong with the connection itself – it's working fine on my iBook (running 10.2.1), but on my G4 (10.3.3) the...

I had to reboot when Word wouldn't force quit and my startup chimes seem to have vanished. I've since run DiskWarrior, because Word and Safari both started hanging – everything seems OK but when I rebooted afterwards, still no chimes. I repaired permissions, then once again the document I was...

My old HP2100N is slowly dying – so far I've always been able to resuscitate it but it's getting worse and I'm thinking it's time for a new printer, while it's still working at all. I prepare camera-ready copy for a living, so I need a reasonably fast mono laser printer: I know most people don't...

I'm currently using ID 2.0.2 and Jaguar (10.2.8 on a G4 dual 1.25 GHz) but intending to upgrade both. Problem is, I am swamped with work at the moment and haven't got a great deal of time to spend finding my way around new stuff. The second problem is that, since the last Jag. software...

Back in the day, I used to have problems with sleeping my dp G4, up until 10.2.6. It regularly but unpredictably used to go into a coma and I would have to force restart, so I stopped sleeping it and shut down every evening. With 10.2.6 things got much better, and I noticed that it only...

The mail in one of my mailboxes suddenly went haywire – some of the messages displaying the header details of other messages in the box, and some giving me a message that the contents of that particular email hadn't been downloaded (they had) and that I should go on-line to get them (I have...

I just installed Acrobat 6 (for the second time – the first time it messed with my finder and my head so much I gave up) ( dp 1.2GHz G4, 10.2.6). Anyhoo, this time it installed OK, but when I went to print (HP2100TN), nothing happened except an extraordinarly unhelpful message that there was...

I've spent the weekend gazing admiringly at the image and review of the Logitech Cordless Desktop MX in this month's MacFormat and rationalising why I need a new keyboard and mouse ...:cool: Has anyone got one? If so, what do you think of it? Does it do what it says on the tin? Is it 'plug...

I just tried to install the Acrobat 6 upgrade on my dp G4, running 10.2.6. Not only couldn't I install it fully - it crashed every time I tried to enter the serial number - but now my finder's wigged out. Every time I try to access the 'Apple' menu in the top menu bar, the finder crashes. I...

I gave my previous G4 to my daughter (well, I sold it to her, but she still owes me for it) at the end of last year. Now she's leaving the UK to live in France (some people will do anything to avoid paying their debts) and wants to sell it. Because it was staying in the family, I didn't...
