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...

Almost, but apparently not quite. The file was created by me, out of InDesign CS, in exactly the same way that I've always done it, without ever having problems printing to my previous printer (also an HP). I do indeed thank God I use a Mac, though!

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...

Thanks Chris, but .... how much???!!! I'm printing the book out chapter by chapter, rather than all at once. The chapters (in InDesign) are typically between 1 and 2MB, so I didn't think I was asking too much of it. The ironic thing is that my old printer, a 2100, coped perfectly happily...

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...

Right! I probably should have said I'm using Mail – I don't see anywhere to do anything about attachments, other leaving the 'send Windows friendly' option checked. It's a fairly recent problem, though, last couple of months max., and I've used Mail more or less since it came out without it...

Thanks guys. The solution seems to be uploading them to my homepage and letting the client download from there, so it does look as if it's something to do with their ISP. I will try your suggestions next time anyway: I do like belt and braces ...

Thanks, but I already have it set for compatibility with 4 – most of my clients wouldn't know an upgrade if it bit them. The last client I had problems with was one I've sent stuff to before without any difficulty at all in the past, which is what's got me thinking along the security line.

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...

Thanks, both, so much. I've had a cursory careful clean up just so that I can get what I was working on yesterday off the G4 and onto the iBook, and I'm amazed at how quietly it's now running, which I hope doesn't mean that the fans are kaput! And I now realise how noisy it had become – it's...

Wow, what a comprehensive reply - thanks so much. The machine's a couple of years old and I haven't had it open since I installed the PCI card just after getting it, so that isn't the problem and it's been in the same place all that time, on 'legs' so it's not directly on the floor. I don't...

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...

Oh, I think we can waste more than one day, here. Cast commentaries, extra materials, geeky continuity error-spotting, comparison between SW and LotR scenes ('You *have* saved me'; bar in Mos Eisley vs The Prancing Pony). Ah the perils of being self-employed and easily distracted.

10 December in the UK. :D

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...

Especially with a forklift. ;)

That depends on where you live – the shops in my neck of the UK woods have never heard of Macs. :mad: I subscribe to MacFormat over the 'net and get it delivered, but if you live somewhere civilised with right-minded newsagents you'd do best to spend some time browsing to make sure what fits...
