I have a MacBook CoreDuo 2.0 with 1GB of RAM with Tiger 10.4.10. Recently it has started booting very slowly - it can take up to 30 seconds from the initial chime to the Apple logo appearing. Tonght, I decided to do a Disk Repair, so placed the "Install Disc 1" in, shut down, held down the...

I have just bought an Elgato Hybrid (European model) to transfer my VHS tapes to DVD via iMovie. The problem is that my VCR is quite old and only has a coaxial-out connection. No S-Video or Composite (hope I'm using the right terms here!). According to the Elgato help file, this should still...

I am attempting to install WinXP SP2 Pro on my MacBook 2Ghz Core Duo, using Bootcamp 1.2 under Tiger. I have nothing plugged in except the power cable, yet when Windows gets to the screen asking me to press Enter to install, R to repair or F3 to exit, I get no response from my keyboard at...

Hi, Like I guess many people new to OSX, I created my main account as an admin account. Now, after nearly 2 years I have decided that really I ought to listen to the advice of people who know better and change my main account to a standard user. I suppose the steps are: 1. Using my existing...

Hi, I have a Panasonic NV-GS75 and was hoping that there may be some way to use it with OSX (Panther). Is this possible? So far I've only found a Firewire/USB patch for Webcams. Is something similar available for camcorders? Many thanks.

Does anyone know of the steps required to fully remove Abiword for OSX? My sister is having a bit of a nightmare doing so. She lives 3 hours away, so I can't go over to investigate further: She has: Mac Mini G4 OSX Tiger (up to date I think) I'm not quite sure which version of Abiword...

Hi, I have an iMac G5 with a wirless k/b and mouse. A while back I gave up on Apple's awful rodent and replaced it with a USB IBM mouse. Much nicer: 3 buttons (including scroll wheel), more accurate, more comfortable. However, ever since then, whenever I boot up, it takes AGES before the...

Hi, I installed this OS8-9 game onto my Panther iMac and have a problem: Firstly, it comes up with a Finder window in Classic as the game starts, asking for (from memory!) Macintosh HD:Clangers:Games:Data:Menu I don't know how to get to that folder - searching for anything "Clangers: via...

Can somebody explain what I need to install on Panther to get a subversion/svn client installed? Do I need to install subversion itself on it, if I only want to access a subversion server on a remote Linux box? What steps shoud I follow, and any recommendations as to which client is best...

Hi, I searched the forums and could not find what I was after: I would like to enable the scroll-wheel button on my mouse so that I can set it up to open links in Firefox in new tabs. I can do this in XP, but the mouse options in Panther's system prefs panel are rather limited. Is it...

Hi, I'm getting a strange problem when running Firefox 1.0.6 under Panther 10.3.9: When I do an image search, I get a number of problems: 1. The page hangs, requiring a quick Back/Forward navigation to load more images. Sometimes, several back/forward attempts are required to get all...

Hi, I keep getting a Low Battery reading for my Apple Pro Wireless Mouse. However, there are still 2 bars out of 5 filled in. How accurate is the metre, and should I change batteries straight away or run them down completely? Thanks.

Hi, I recently bought my 4 year old daughter a new game, "Barbie Swanlake". It runs fine under OSX, with one exception: I installed the game using my account, which is the admin account. However, when we try to run the game from her account, the system crashes with a permissions violation...

Hi there, My first day as a Mac owner. My first Mac post. Be gentle! ;) I was trying to use my USB memory stick (128Mb Intelligent-Stick) on my new 1.6Ghz G5 iMac. The FAQ at PQI, makers of the I stick states: However, the iMac does not like it one bit: it threw up some message...
