Macpro quad core , I was told the chime at start up signals the end of the ram check and things are dandy. I heard very soft chimes initially and then none for some time now. I use macs for audio recording so I am aware of how audio is routed and at what leve,l at any given time on my mac. I...

G5 dualie 2 gigahertz, 4 gig ram OS 10.5.8. I have done all possible disc maintenance via disc utility but I haven't reinstalled the OS. Many times a day instead of the normal snappy, for me anyway, behavior it's replaced buy the circling dashes for maybe 20 seconds, I haven't timed it...

I don't know how to unclose a thread. For Cheyrl: I went back thru the icons at the top of the hard drive page and found the one to get rid of the columns layout. Ron

Hi folks, I went back to trying to fix this after posting and got taken care of. But thank you all for being here to help. Ron

Hello I'm running 10.5.8 on a motorola dually. Seemingly out of nowhere the general appearance of the hard drive and other pages are displayed has changed. I can't find a way to get back to my normal old mac appearance. It began w/a large black screen appearing at the top of the safari and...

Thanks I'll check those links out. Mr.Carlin was thinking different in a wise way before it was fashionable to do so. Right on sir! Ron

I need to move 680 gigabites of data to another hard drive. What is the best/fastest method. Disk image or ?? Thanks for your time. Ron

Yes, I clear these, cookies cache, history manually and often. I have the correct safari version it's 5.0.6 something. Ron

I frequently buy music classes from an online vendor. Twice, with several months in between, I have clicked on one of his links in an email after a purchase and instead of my purchase, I'm looking at a down load page with 40 or more of his classes on it and ready to download. He is tilling me I...

Hi DeltaMac, We were discussing the behavior firefox which has only been displaying text. This is a thread on the subject of my browser only showing text on web pages. Yahoo is a graphics laden page. I'm sure I don't need to break that sentence down for anyone. Since my browser only sees or...

I guess reading it again would be too much to ask. So thanks but no thanks. Ron

tried the new acct. today. Opened an updated version of firefox and went to yahoo a graphics laden page. Just text and text cells with text running outside the cells at the bottom boundary. Ron

I'll try that in the morning. Thanks. Ron

I'll check it out earthsaver. Thank you. Ron

Fair and astute questions. The primary boot drive shows 698 gb in round numbers and 639 available. There are three others with most audio stuff on them. "But never run well, [generalities often come back to hunt me]I don't know how long its' been going on, but thru most of 10.4.1.1 as often...

If you mean page loading problems it's every page via firefox or sheep's clothing/10 4. It seems identical minus the plugins in fire fox. NO Plugins:Wow was that a new area to be aware of i.e. plugins as malware vectors and Apple dumping security for us paleomac users. Think Different my a**...

Hey DeltaMac, I don't get it. It's a nice solid color page with a bunch of text, period. If I clik on a link to the `no scrip't vid, I get more nice turquoise and no vid just text in boxes. I never liked Cnet much, it always seemed like they designed their page to intentionally get you do...

I do that anyway to keep the marketeers guessing. Just means you have to sign in more often at forums and what not. Probably a waste of time. But it gives me a false sense of power. That's a little like `your sentence structure is awkward but your punctuation is poor. {;^)> Thanks for all...

Well again, just what i need to know, thank you. I'll take a look at the flood gap page and try it. I'm not craze about the firefox `let us help you to consume more' vibe so if 104fox is better I'll probably not use firefox much It bugs me however cuz I know most people don't have my experience...

That's it in a nut shell. My mac is a motorola G5 2 Gigahertz, 4.5 gigs of ram. A modest system by today's standards. But safari has never run well on it. Firefox is even worse. It's just boxes and text and the text never fits in the boxes, the boxed sometimes overlap making pages a mess...
