You might have inadvertently had zoom activated. In osx, if you hold the control key down to zoom in the default is for the whole screen to move with the pointer. To change it, go to system prefs/mouse. You'll see that Zoom is checked at the the bottom of the window. You can change this if...

Over the years I've experienced problems on Macs with emails using MIME from PCs- often not be able to open attachments. I've not had crashes but have not been able to see things. Your heading said "crashes server" but your message indicated the email crashing a desktop mac. If it is a server...

It should not be the machine if you can't connect by either wireless or ethernet. If you cannot get connected via ethernet after using the Assist Me button, It might be best to schedule an appointment with Apple "genius bar" and have them show you. Using OSX 10.3.9 & 10.4.11 on a G4, G5 &...

If you want to hard wire, go to Apple Menu/system Preferences. Click on Network. You should get a window that says location - automatic and then SHOW. Pick Built in ethernet from the drop down menu. Then make sure that Configure IPv4 has "Using DHCP" picked on the drop down menu. As long as...

I wouldn't worry about it. Anybody with half a brain knows that your machine and OSX is not that old. Using OSX 10.3.9 & 10.4.11 on a G4, G5 & Intel Macbook

Depending on what you use the thing for, you might look at the mac mini. The 800 dollar one has specs about the same as the base imac and is 400 bucks less. The cpu is a tad bit slower, but you really won't notice it in real life. If you just use your machine for general use, as opposed to...

Seems that it would be easier to just replace the card. Using OSX 10.3.9 & 10.4.11 on a G4, G5 & Intel Macbook

If you need a new video card you should be able to find one here http://www.welovemacs.com Using OSX 10.3.9 & 10.4.11 on a G4, G5 & Intel Macbook

I recently had to reinstall Photoshop. When I'd double click on a PS file it wouldn't open. If I right clicked and chose Open With, it wouldn't open. Only File/open worked. Reinstall fixed it. Using OSX 10.3.9 & 10.4.11 on a G4, G5 & Intel Macbook

You can try trashing Acrobat, and everything related to it, like preferences. then reinstall. It doesn't take long. If you've been using it for a long time and it's only began to act up, something else could be corrupted. I'm assuming that you only have the problem with Acrobat and no other...

One of the problems with Adobe apps is corrupted prefs. I don't know why, but it's been that way forever and trashing prefs usually works - but you most likely will run into it again, and solve it by trashing prefs again. I could not begin to count the number of times I've trashed various...

I'm guessing that you won't have eps to jpeg script because it would not include the rasterization settings for any vector-text stuff in the eps. Using OSX 10.3.9 & 10.4.11 on a G4, G5 & Intel Macbook

Preview will open an eps as pdf and you can then use the Export command to make a jpeg. Using OSX 10.3.9 & 10.4.11 on a G4, G5 & Intel Macbook

Try trashing preferences for acrobat and repair permissions. Using OSX 10.3.9 & 10.4.11 on a G4, G5 & Intel Macbook

Since you're having problems booting from both the hard drive and the dvd, it would appear to be something other than a hard drive problem. If you have 2 ram modules, you might try taking out one and see what happens. Then put it back in and take out the other. That's one way of seeing if...

Insert the software install cd that came with the machine and reboot holding down the C key - so the machine boots from the cd. If no picture, it's not sleep mode or other software problem. Using OSX 10.3.9 & 10.4.11 on a G4, G5 & Intel Macbook

It might be worth noting if this happens all the time or when you're doing certain things on the machine - spiking the CPU and creating too much heat. does the fan run up when the machine is on but not doing anything? Does it heat up watching flash content or visiting websites with lots of...

It's the processor speed. Using OSX 10.3.9 & 10.4.11 on a G4, G5 & Intel Macbook

You have 2 ram slots. One had the original 512. The other has the 1 gig. G5s work best with a matched pair - you actually buy the pair. You have to check Apple menu/about this mac/more info/hardware and check the CPU speed to figure out what ram you have to order. I have one G5 imac here...

Theoretically, if the only problem is the sleep when watching movies, it should not be much of a board problem. Yes, the board might be wearing out, but it still might have many years left. You could try reinstalling OSX, with an Archive and Install, and see if the problem disappears. The...
