For no apparent reason, now when I create a new mailbox, the first column header contains a mystery icon consisting of two arrows, one pointing northwest and the other pointing southeast. When I right-click on the headers, there is no corresponding item in the pop-up menu (e.g...

Greetings, When I select Restart or Shut Down from the Apple menu, all of my apps close, but then it just sits there showing the desktop pattern. The cursor remains live. Nothing else happens. I have to hit ctrl-opt-power to force a power down. This happens regardless of which account I'm...

Greetings, My iBook G4 (see sig below) has an intermittent problem. It usually sits on my desk, plugged into the power adaptor, always on. The only time I ever do a shutdown is when I'm taking it with me to the airport. Here's where the problem happens -- WHEN it happens. I start it up...

Greetings, I know I can edit the hosts file to redirect a URL request to a specific IP address: 127.0.0.1 somedomain.com But what if I want to do this: Anytime I (or anyone else using my computer) type, let's say "yahoo.com", my Mac redirects the request, to...

Greetings, Well, now that Leopard is here, I figured I'd better upgrade to Tiger, so I'd still be only one OS behind. I'm having a problem with the Find feature in Address Book. As soon as I start typing letters into the field, Address book starts searching too fast. What appears to be...

Ack! How do I delete a message from this board...

Greetings, I must be losing my mind. I keep looking through everything in the User CP, and I cannot find where to edit my signature. I could swear that used to be where it was. Help! DM

Greetings, I found a similar thread on here, but it didn't fix the problem for me, so I'm posting this one. I'm running VP6.1 in OS X 10.3.9, and it won't connect to the Internet. It used to. I haven't used it in a long time. Now it won't. I have no idea what might have changed. I am...

Greetings, I dunno if this is a Flash question, or a MySpace question -- or both. The MP3 player that appears on MySpace music artist/band pages (the one with up to 4 MP3s you play by clicking on their titles) has stopped working right on my Macs. I can still click the song titles, and...

Greetings, Once I have erased a hard drive with the "Zero All Data" option checked, is there really some way that someone could STILL recover old files from it (once I sell it)? I ask because I'd rather avoid waiting 36, 48, however many hours for Disk Utility to do "8 Way Random Write" on a...

Greetings, My cable modem is connected to the uplink port of a wireless router. A PC running WinXP Pro is connected via Ethernet to one of the other ports. My iBook has an Airport card, and gets its Internet connection from the wireless router. That's the only thing I've been using the...

Greetings, I have created an M3U file. When iTunes 6.0 opens the URL (either manually, or when the browser throws it over), it loads each of the mp3s into its library as a separate "MPEG audio stream." Thus they are added to iTunes' playlist, and played in whatever order the playlist is set...

Greetings, Can anyone tell me where the package is for Quicken 2003 in the iBook Jaguar disks? I have searched them all with Pacifist, but I can't find it anywhere. Ditto the Panther disks I bought on eBay. I know it's there somewhere, as I have reinstalled it before as part of a complete...

Greetings, I have an 800MHz iBook running Panther 10.3.9. The iBook gets its internet via Airport, from a wireless router in my house. I also have a Dual 1GHz G4 QuickSilver (mostly running 9.2.2) and an 8500 (9.1) I am able to use Internet Sharing by connecting one of the towers to the...

Greetings, In the "Desktop & Screen Saver" pref panel, when I select "Beach," "Forest," anything other than "Computer Name," I get an error message: The selected folder contains no pictures Yet when I look in System/Library/Screen Savers, there they all are: Beach.slidesaver...

Greetings, I was opening a large TIFF file (4.5MB) with Preview, and the rainbow color pinwheel just kept spinning and spinning. I could hear the hard drive repeating some kind of cycle, over and over, like a drum machine pattern. So, I clicked Command-Control-PowerKey and forced restart...

Greetings, I have an iBook G3, a dual 1GHz G4 Quicksilver, and an 8500 all connected to an Ethernet router. The iBook is usually booted in OS X, the 8500 in OS 9.1, and the Quicksilver in both 9 and X at different times. My question concerns the "Network" window I get when I click the...

Greetings, I think this is more an OS question than a peripheral question... I had to reinstall Panther on my iBook, and then my Epson CX4600 printer wouldn't work anymore. So I ran the "uninstaller" from the Epson CD, which told me this: "The uninstall was successful. However, some...

Greetings, My iBook is connected via an Ethernet hub to my good ol' 8500. I mounted one of its volumes (the 8500's) with "Connect to Server" as I always do. I double-clicked the disk icon, and noticed that it took a couple of seconds for the file icons to fill in. But some of them never...
