Hi to all,
And a million Thanks if you can assist me with some answers.
Background- Bought new iMac in July. 1st mac was a 7100/66. I Love Apple. I battle with PC people all the time about its many benefits. But I'm really having my doubts about it's reliability these days. The normal stand-bys are amazingly buggy. Very shocked. Anyway... Case in point-
I can not get the "Mac help" in the main menu to work. Not for the "OS" portition atleast. The window will open. Usually blank. Somtimes with the beginning screen with the blue links. Usually I have to hit the "home" icon the get that. Anyway, from there it is non-responsive! I click the blue links and nothing happens. All I want to do is get to the "Index". It just ignores my click.
I finally took the time to copy all my data off the hard drive. Do an erase of the hard drive and install the everything fresh from the DVD that came with the iMac. Once that was finished, I did a software update to bring everything current to OS 10.4.4. Upon trying "Mac help" I felt I had it fixed.
I got to the index. ( I was feeling successful with just that ) Clicked the letter "F". That worked. Clicked on "faxing". The result was Nothing!! It just stared at me. I backed out of Help and thought I'd started over. And now I'm back at square 1. I can't get it to bring up the index aqain. I'm trying to find work and the simplest thing is holding me back. Please let me know if this is happening to anyone else and what on earth is causing this malfuction. It shouldn't be this hard for something that was so reliable with mac software in the Past. Again many Thanks to anyone with some good answers!!! -Dale
