    Snow Leopard app crashing left and right?

    Oh, look here. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3216 Kind of silly. If I knew I had a print job pending then I would take care of it. If my computer can't sleep because of it, why can't it tell me about it?

    Snow Leopard app crashing left and right?

    Oh man. Sitting here tearing my hair out and my wife casually mentions how she was printing two days ago, but we ran out of ink, so she turned off the printer. Turns out she had a print job in her account just sitting there, going nowhere. I deleted it and now the computer sleeps normally...

    Snow Leopard app crashing left and right?

    Thanks you two. Ah, nothing like two somewhat opposing opinions with each worth investigating :-) (but of course I would really really want to believe Satcomer is wrong!). I trashed Chrome prefs and updated Chrome and it works fine now. I trashed TextEdit preferences and it is now fine. I...

    Snow Leopard app crashing left and right?

    iMac, 2.66 GHz, 4 GB RAM, OSX 10.6.5 installed over 10.5 six months ago I have had intermittent crashes of Chrome, but now and experiencing more frequent application crashes with everything from Mail to TextEdit. textEdit is now very weird - when I open it opens with my last doc, but I cannot...

    Unable to connect wifi issue

    Google "Unable to connect iPad" and you will find a large number of people dealing with a very frustrating and seemingly known yet unaddressed problem. Resetting network settings, rebooting routers, updating firmware on routers, static ips and more and more, all to accomodate the buggy iPad...

    Apple 30" with PC with DVI

    Thanks DeltaMac, you explained this better than anyone yet! I'll check, but I am 99.9% sure that there is no way my new Thinkpad has dual link DVI in that little D port. Do you (or anyone) know of some type of adapter or converter that might allow me to take advantage of the monitor's...

    Apple 30" with PC with DVI

    I have a 30" Cinema HD Display that is about 2 years old. I am now going to be using it with a PC laptop that *does* have a DVI-D port, the small almost USB looking one (don't blame me on the PC - its work). However, even though I am pretty sure I can use the two together, will I be limited in...

    Mail going absolutely nuts sending old reminders

    After repairing permissions and dumping the prefs things are back to normal. Very strange! Hope it doesn't happen to anyone else. I have no idea what happened.

    Mail going absolutely nuts sending old reminders

    Hi Everyone, Today I had installed Netflix's Silverlight app to watch some movies on my 27" iMac running 10.5.8. Last night I had installed Developer tools. Today, after a restart my date/time was set to a date in 2000. On opening date/time it then showed the correct date. Later I started the...

    Router shopping advice please.

    Thanks everyone. I am really thinking about the Airport Extreme. However, I have read a few posts online about how Linksys somehow performs better with Comcast. I am really in over my head in explaining this, but it has something to do with Comcast DNS servers. Many people report changing their...

    Router shopping advice please.

    Need to get a new router and not sure what to get. I read that with Comcast (I curse them, but they are all I have) Linksys has some kind of edge in dealing with their DNS servers. Besides comcast we have an intel iMac and two PC laptops we use wirelessly (work computers). Right now the iMac is...

    Internet performance issues - maybe?

    Is this a forum of little teen age girls or what? Babies! Sense of humor? Forget it. Not like it used to be around here. Glad there are other forums with members who have, I don't know, a spine. Djmackwhatever, I am saddened we will never ever speak again. I will miss your feminine shrillness...

    Internet performance issues - maybe?

    Thanks djackmac, but don't worry about me. I have Safari zooming like a rocket ship. It is awesome. Another forum without snotty pedants solved it quite quickly. As some might have guessed knowing the processor or windows version on a PC referenced in browser performance was not required in the...

    Internet performance issues - maybe?

    Thanks djackmac, performance in Firefox is better and that is indeed weird. I previously cleared out everything in Safari to no avail. The original point here is with a two week old Mac, browsing in Safari is slower than other computers in the house and an old mac running Safari it replaced...

    Internet performance issues - maybe?

    Thought this was the right place for this. New iMac using the same old Comcast cable modem I have had forever. Many pages, even ones I have recently visited or are simple (like Google) take many seconds to appear. "Loading" will display in Safari for up to 5, 10 seconds or more. Other times...

    Well, I must be doing something right because I bought that very same WD drive with the new mac!

    renaming multiple files

    Never used it, but maybe this would work for you? http://creativebe.com/renamer4mac/ I would backup first!

    Help help ehelp!!!!! Data recovery help!

    Don't worry! Everything's perfectly okay. You simply attach your backup harddrive to your computer and you reinstall everything using the backup on that external volume.

    Old Ultra ATA drives - can I insert in an external case?

    Thanks for all the help! Found a FW drive at Tiger direct. I tell you, my main problem now is I have 4 external drives plus this one on the way, and only two match. The stackable option or idea is a good one.
