So Ive had problems from the start with my powerbook g4. Purchased in June 2005, sent out for hard drive repair/reinstall on a monthly basis for a while before I just lived with it ( too much re installing hassle with dumb little things like Internet bookmarks and losing all my itunes).
The main problem now is that programs disappear. For example idvd, garage band, iphoto ( though I don't know if that came standard to begin with) standard programs that should be there ( and I have seen on the screen before) are not anywhere to be found. I did a search and checked garbage as well. I really don'use these files but don't like the fact my computer likes to delete programs.
In addition I sometimes find that word or excel files cannot be found through a search but may be under the file list in the program as a recent doc, or some sort of doesn't show up anywhere but if i try to do an attachment the finder pops up and sees it somewhere or in a file that when opened its not there.
I would hate to have to clear the hard drive and reinstall only to find it have problems within a few weeks afterward.
I believe my computer doesn't love me. If you can help at all it would be great, if not its cool. Have a great day.
