I have this same issue. It seems to affect Flash video in Safari, but also the preview video inside Finder. Also, today, the icons in Entourage are flickering. See the image attached. When I shutdown and restart, the problem goes away. Ideas out there?

I keep my passwords on Dashboard stickies....encoding them with hints so they remain secure...like this hint: suph (superhero) for the password ba+man. This way, I can have lots of unique passwords that are just a function key away.

Anyone know where Google Videos are cached by safari or firefox when they get loaded in the browser? And if so, are those files usable if they are saved elsewhere? Thanks

Let me get this right, they expect people to pay $15 to download a DVD movie that could be picked up for free at the local library or rented for $3 at the video shop and then copied? The market won't bear such folly.

You're right, the computer was purchased in Japan. And when we tried reinstalling the Japanese OS, it still didn't work. One tech thought that the wrong logic board (an American one) had been re-installed, but he was overruled. My suspicion at the time was he was right but Apple didn't want...

Okay, here's one for the books. My wife's Japanese iBook had a video card failure a few months ago and we had to send it to Apple for a free repair. When the iBook came back, the keyboard did not work as it once did. Somehow, the computer thought it had a Western-style keyboard arrangement--a...

sorry the printer is an x83

The printer Lexmark Z83 is in the box and checked under the preference screen.

I believe it is. I can see the printer under the users library/printers folder. Printer sharing is also on under the system preferences. I'm not sure where else to look. -Ryan

I can use my Lexmark X83 printer while logged in as the admin, but the other users can't print. When I log in as admin, their queue of prints start printing right away. Is there some priveleges setting that's off? -Ryan

Turns out all I needed was the update. Thanks.

Hi all, The other day I installed Adobe Reader and Safari stopped using Preview to display .pdf's. Instead it tries to use Reader, but here's the hassle: it doesn't automatically load Reader and put the pdf in my browser window. Instead, it asks me to find Reader for it. I've attached a...

Hi all, I've had it with my lexmark x83. The printer just has too many issues. :( Any opinions on what printers work best with iMac G4, OS 10.4? I'm listing the issues below so you'll have an idea of what I Don't want in a printer. can't print from non-administrator screens...

Lately my iMac G4 is having problems when put to sleep. The screen goes black as usual but sometimes the computer doesn't actually sleep...you can still hear it whirring inside and my external firewire hard drive light remains on. When I try to rouse the iMac, the keyboard and mouse are dead...

I'm trying to play mpeg files and they only seem to play a partial section of the full clip. For example, one is several MB large, but only plays for a few seconds. When the clip finishes and I pull the ball thingy on the quicktime player back I see whole new sections of the clip that weren't...

Here's one for you guys. I keep getting these "mail delivery failed" messages from various mailer daemons for messages I haven't sent to emails I've never heard of. The last one was sent to 6mp4py@btopenworld.com I did a little googling into this and found that btopenworld is British...

Probelm solved. I reinstalled os 10.2.1 and the cd burner was fine again. I guess it must of been a bad installation of 10.2.3 that did it. Anyway, I upgraded to 10.2.6 and everything works great again.

I've recently upgraded to 10.2 and no longer have the ability to burn disks. This is true for iTunes and is true with even the finder which refuses to access any blank CD I put in the drive. I don't get an icon. Let me make some important points about what led me to this sad state: 1. It...

I'm having exactly the same problem. I went into System Preferences and clicked the CDs and DVDs tab. Changed the action to "Ask what to do". I get the old message about naming the CD, etc. I name it, then I get this error: "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error...

I had something similar happen when I re-installed os 10.1. When I went to install the software restore, the third disk (of six) didn't work. What a fiasco. Anyway, now my computer doesn't have os 9.2 on it anymore or any of the other things on those disks...whatever they were. :mad:
