    problems getting email from iPhone on desktop machine and iBook

    I have three different "regular" email accounts: two at domains I own, and one at the domain of the company that handles my hosting (along with backup accounts on Gmail). For the purposes of this question I'll call them mike@mydomain1.com, mike@mydomain2.com, mike@hostdomain.com The main...

    iBook suddenly can't find WiFi net

    OK, got it. Both of the "test" locations for the same base station are deleted. In the meantime, after trying a couple more suggestions, everything seems to have worked out, and we're back to normal here. I went into the Preferred Networks list, and cleared out all the networks that had been...

    OSX Tiger drivers for HP Deskjet 3521?

    Thanks for the tip on the OPP, but from what I can see, the drivers at the link you provided are only available for Linux and not OSX. Is there a CUPS Deskjet 3521 driver for OSX 10.4?

    OSX Tiger drivers for HP Deskjet 3521?

    My wife has gotten me an HP Deskjet printer/scanner for Christmas. Hoorah! Problem is, I'm having to scrounge for drivers for OSX Tiger, 10.4.11. Would anyone here know where I can find them? I've tried HP's own Web site, but I'm trapped in a circle of Choose Operating System/Select A...

    volumes mysteriously, suddenly disappear from network window

    Ten minutes ago, I could access my G4 iBook from my G4 tower, and vice versa, over my LAN. Then, suddenly, I couldn't. That's about all I have on this. I've tried rebooting both machines with no luck. Using the "contact server" command under the Go menu in the Finder didn't work; it timed out...

    funny firefox cache behavior

    OK, so I've just cleared the cache in Firefox. It's created a brand-new cache folder with _CACHE_MAP, _CACHE_001, _CACHE_002_, _CACHE_003_ in it. I have the cache set to 500mb. To test it out, after I set the cache to 500mb, I quit/restarted Firefox and played a short video off of YouTube. Still...

    right side of menu bar gone; I blame Mplayer

    Well, hot damn. diggety. As I often like to joke, "looks like I'm living right with Jesus!" Rummaging around on discussion.apple.com, I found several threads addressing the vanishing right-side menu item issue, where lots of folks had run down the list of things to try, as I had --...

    right side of menu bar gone; I blame Mplayer

    Just now ran the combo update from a downloaded disk image from Apple. No change. Looks like I'm going to have to go the downgrade/re-update route some afternoon when I've got nothing else going on. Thanks for the help, anyway, though; I guess some days you can't even buy a break. (;^>

    right side of menu bar gone; I blame Mplayer

    I selected a destination drive and clicked "Options", and Installer went to the screen where you choose "Erase & Install", etc. I didn't see a warning box. I clicked "options" and it went straight to the Options panel, where "Archive & Install" was grayed out. I'm not exactly OK working...

    right side of menu bar gone; I blame Mplayer

    Just fresh from attempting Archive & Install... and the "Archive & Install" option is unavailable, grayed out. So, if anyone here has any ideas -- I'm pretty much out, myself, having tried every troubleshooting step suggested -- I'd love to hear 'em. In the meantime, I still have access to...

    right side of menu bar gone; I blame Mplayer

    Sorry about the disjointed thoughts, here, but... I was also thinking of launching FinalCut Pro, because FCP's got so many menus that it shoves all the right-side indicators out of the way, then replaces them when it quits. Just thinking of what I could do that might force a reset of the right...

    right side of menu bar gone; I blame Mplayer

    Actually, I already tried that right after remembering how mplayer ran full-screen... and now that I think of it, that's also the way that the Mac version of Windows Media Player handles full-screen. I wonder if opening a stream in WMP, going to full-screen, then back to normal might reset the...

    right side of menu bar gone; I blame Mplayer

    The one weird thing mplayer did that may have triggered this problem was when I switched to full-screen mode; instead of enlarging the movie to fill the screen like QuickTime Player or VLC, mplayer appeared to reset the screen resolution itself, similar to the way the Mac WMV player does when...

    right side of menu bar gone; I blame Mplayer

    I've done pretty much everything I could think of, including booting into safe mode, logging in as a different user, running a permissions/disk verification from the 10.4 install disk (verified OK), deleting .plist files for SystemUIserver and system preferences. It's worth noting that when...

    right side of menu bar gone; I blame Mplayer

    G4 iBook, 1.25ghz, OSX Tiger 10.4.11 Tried out mplayer today, decided it was a bit sketchy and decided to trash it. Quit mplayer, upper right menu bar items disappeared. No AirPort status indicator, no audio volume control, no clock, no charge status indicator. All of these things still...

    QuickTime Player won't launch

    Well, actually, one of the things I did -- along with everything else -- was to check for updates, and I just let the System Software updater run everything up to 10.4.11 which, iirc, is the highest version of Tiger. That didn't work itself, though, so I opened up the Preferences panel for QT...

    QuickTime Player won't launch

    OK, here we go, then... this'll kill you guys. I just held my breath and ran the QT Pro 7.1.6 updater. Voila! Can you beat that? I couldn't tell you why it worked, and I'd still love to know what happened to make 7.1.3 suddenly quit working, mysteriously. Was working when I shut down last...

    QuickTime Player won't launch

    Just tried using Disk Utility to repair permissions. Didn't work. Right now, I'm downloading the QT Pro 7.1.6 update; I have 7.1.3. Will this disable the "pro" features?

    QuickTime Player won't launch

    Just tried it; no luck with that, either.

    QuickTime Player won't launch

    Will do; I've seen that suggestion in a few places. I've already tried booting into Safe Mode. No luck.
