When I have encountered this in the past the problem was the SMTP server at the ISP going up and down.

What version of Mail and what version of OS X are you using? I presume the icon for the attachment is showing up in Mail, or sometimes if it is short the attached photo or PDF itself will be open on your mail page before you send it. Assuming the recipients are poor benighted PC users, do...

Yeah, I head about a lot of problems with Panther too. :D Seriously, you will hear this about any new OS release until the next version is released at which point the previous version magically becomes the best and most stable version ever. Most of the problems with any new release fall into...

I have seen double layer DVD±R/RW drives for as low as $80 internal and $125 for external firewire. With the proper media that would bump you up to nearly 8.5GB for your video even without resolution killing compression.

My bad! I got confused as to which Mac was in trouble. :eek: For the iMac its Apple Knowledge Base article 95165.

Unfortunately, I suspect your beloved desktop may well be history. First reset your PMU following the instructions for your particular PowerBook model found in Apple Knowledge Base article 14449. That should reset pretty much all the circuitry in the PowerBook. Insert the first Software...

ElDiablo I wouldn't want anyone to hold me accountable for this suggestion, but based on a conversation I overheard at our local MUG meeting, try putting a blank as the first character in your password.

If you have been re-entering the password for the accounts the answer is yes it is not unexpected even if it is not completely normal. You can delete the duplicate entries in the keychain using Keychain Access. In fact you might delete all the entries for the accounts, start over and see if the...

There may be other applications that can do this, but I would start by using Cocktail to rebuild the Launch Services database and update the Locate and Whatis databases.

While his G5 is still in warranty take it back to the Apple dealer. There is almost certainly a hardware problem.

What version of OS X are you running?

Three troubleshooting steps to try: Create a new user account with administrative privileges, logon to that account. If the problems do not persist then your problem is limited to something in your home folder, it could be anything from a third party app to corrupted preference files...

Your bronze keyboard (Lombard) PowerBook will support up to OS X 10.3.9, but you will need at least the 10 GB drive, 4 GB simply is not big enough and it would be best if you maxed out the RAM as well. Apple says 384 MB is max, but you Lombard will actually support 512 MB with newer SODIMMs that...

It all depends on what kind of backups you want to do and what media you want to backup to. You might take a look at this article on backup strategies first. After that there are any number of backup utilities at a cost ranging from free to around $100. Generally the more expensive the more...

Yep that is the only kind of Backup it does The only way around it is to use another backup utility See answer 2 Even with these significant limitations Backup 3 is a substantial improvement over previous versions of Backup.

Check System Preferences > CDs & DVDs and be sure what it is set to do when inserting a blank CD. Generally Ask what to do is the best option.

In my not so humble opinion the only reason to partition your drive is if you will be spending a substantial portion of your time on the computer actually booted into OS 9. Otherwise you are robbing OS X of precious disk space. Your hard drive has an advertised nominal capacity of 20 GB...

Open Font book and select all your fonts the on the file menu select Validate font to see if any of them are corrupted. Preferential Treatment can check your preference files to be sure they are correctly formatted, but you can still have an invalid node or argument that would render the...

Even if you elect to go ahead and install OS X 10, do not install 10.0. According to no less an authority than Steve Jobs, OS X 10.0 was for early adopters only. There are too few compatible device (printer, etc.) drivers, most current applications will not run with 10.0, and to be charitable --...

I just thought of one other possibility. If Application Program Enhancer (APE) is running in the original user account that could account for the problems with AppleWorks too. If you have an application such as Audio HiJack that is dependent on APE, try temporarily disabling APE in System...
