I posted a question to tech support, but it failed to fix the problem. I have an iMac G5, semi literate, but much more so with windows. This is my first mac. Here are some symptoms: it takes 10 to 20 tries to launch Safari. The sequence I have to follow: 1. Click on Safari icon. 2. When drop down box appears to tell me it can't connect to the server, click ok 3. The box doesn't go away, but I have to click okay anyway, or step 4 won't work. Step 4. Force Quit and begin sequence again. Other things:
Totally reinstalled software. When I try to reload iLife 05, it says it has to check a program and I get the spinning wheel forever. Won't load software updates. I currently have a spinning wheel going for that. Won't run Onyx, which was part of my tech support's suggestions. It starts reading information, the blue bar gets about a quarter way over and holds. Don't have a safari.plist file in preferences (my abbreviation), which was step one of tech's solution. Can anyone help?
