Returning my original preferences to my account library and all appears to be back to normal:-) Mail client has all the email address accounts in it. Dock has all the apps where they were before.

I have succeeded in getting my wifi back after savings my preferences from the main hard drive and the one attached to my account to an external hard drive storage. I then erased both preference folders and restarted the Mac. My wifi returned. Now I will be troubleshooting to see which...

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2315014&tstart=0 I am removing plist items in preferences in the various libraries on the OS like what is recommended by a tech on this MacOSx.com website. I have not succeeded. However in Safe boot mode ethernet connection works fine. Any...

MisterMe thanks for the response and I noted I got the problem after defragging not before. I will also note that Apple sells third party defragging software online and in their stores. However, I will try your method shortly just to see if it by chance will make a difference. g/re/p I...

I usually defrag the hard drive when things get slow and using maintenance software like disk utility and Onyx don't help or have gone as far as they can to get performance back. Anyway, I did zap the PRAM and that did not help. I have since discovered that the ethernet way of connecting to the...

I have a first gen MacBook with Snow Leopard loaded on it. I defragged the hard drive with Drive Genius 2.0 and now my Airport wifi won't work. Airport works fine when I boot my old 10.4 backup drive so it is not the hardware. I also tried reinstalling Snow Leopard which I understand does an...

I didn't see where I could pick any version of AI down to 3.0 but saving the simple vector art to AI EPS did give me the option of saying it to at least CS instead of CS2.

I just bought a set of Logitech V10 notebook USB speakers for my MacBook. No other power cord for the speakers and as long as you just home using them I see no problem.

My .Mac renews in just a couple days and I just am wondering about the advantages of having both a separate webhosting site( http://www.kirktalon.com/kirksweb/ ) with backend support for things like php, mysql etc. I really have not used the other features of DotMac in a long time. I sorta...

Can I use DotMac as a webhosting site? Currently I am using http://www.dreamhost.com/ as my primary webhost experimenting website cause I can easily use Transmit as an FTP client. My domain name is www.kirktalon.com and here is one of my latest projects in progress...

NeoOffice another natively running OpenOffice off shoot opens .docx documents. It is free. I have noticed that neither OpenOffice nor NeoOffice do well with very graphically complex .doc files.

I've posted 4 questions here and have not really been around otherwise. I checked my records and sure enough Bobw did help me. My condolences to the family.

Yes, I'm aware that Lombards should be able to run up to 10.3.9 BUT mine will not. I've tried checking the memory with Memtest and loading and reloading OS X to no success. I was told that the processor was found to be bad for running OS X and that Apple at one point was even replacing them...

Sorry, very bad comparison especially since I have three of them. One PB G3 400 mhz Lombard which will only run OS 9. One PB G3 500 mhz Pismo and one Power Mac G4 dual 450 mhz. All bought on eBay. Should have said here that my Lombard has problems that keep it from running OS X.

I was just wondering if it were possible. Are these companies like Newertech or Powerlogix, who sell G3 to G4 upgrades, going to find a way to let me switch out my PPC processor(s) in my Mac(s)? :D I assume there are obstacles in the computer architecture. Like putting the hot V-8 engine in...

Yep, this is ballsy. I hope it doesn't come back to haunt apple and then us.

I've made a boot CD from this and it does take a while to start up but once the apple shows up on screen the computer is already committed to starting up from the boot CD or your hard drive. If I remember correctly that happened fairly quickly but from there the little trilling fan thing could...

I just learned as an owner of two Powerbook G3s(Lombard & Pismo) that you shouldn't leave the battery in all the time if you have it plugged in the wall all the time. Burns up the battery. Yes, silly me.:( Anyway, I think the new MacBook magnetic connector is brilliant. Now, can we get a...

I have a Lombard G3 PowerBook 400 mhz with 30 gig hard drive, partitioned with OS 9.2.2 on one side, OS X 10.2 on the other. PC card for one firewire port. It crashes in OS X when it gets a little too taxed by programs like Photoshop or is downloading software updates. That isn't good cause...
