Sounds as if you have a damaged font in you home folder ~/Library/Fonts or a corrupted font cache in your user account. Font Book can check for damaged or duplicated fonts and Cocktail or Onyx can clear out the cache files. As for the duplicated preference folders, all OS X applications check...

You would be better off buying a cheap portable CD/MP3 player with a 12 Volt power connector for use in the car. There are too many ways you laptop can be damaged by heat (not to mention stolen) by using it or leaving it in the car. Besides that the portable CD player is less likely to skip when...

If you are using OS X 10.4 on the Printer Setup Utility menu select "Reset Printing System..." You will have to re-add your printers after this but that only takes a few seconds at best and it clears most Tiger printing problems.

I use Mail 2.0.5 in OS X 10.4.3 with multiple email accounts including .Mac and a .Mac alias account, it never hangs, it always sends correctly unless .Mac is offline for some reason, and the only problem I have had with large attachments is when the recipients POP server rejects them as too...

Actually we do. There is my G4/1.25 MDD, my wife's G4/733 Quicksilver, our shared G4/1.25 iBook, our daughter's G3/600 iBook, and our son's G4/1.25 iMac. So now you know at least one person who does have five Mac computers in a single household. Even if there were only two Macs in the same...

NAV 9 is not compatible with OS X 10.4.x. You will have to purchase the NAV 10 upgrade for Tiger compatibility. There have been reports of application conflicts and kernel panics caused by NAV 10, but I cannot verify the accuracy of those reports. Symantec has stopped all development of Mac...

In order for Acrobat to display the file in Safari the AdobePDFViewer.plugin must be in /Library/ Internet Plug-Ins. First be sure you have the latest version of Acrobat which is 7.0.5. Then reinstall the AdobePDFViewer.plugin, you may have to reinstall Acrobat to do that. FWIW I prefer Adobe...

Apple does not write the drivers so you will have to ask Epson. However, GutenPrint drivers support both printers.

You might take a look at Apple's iTunes for Windows forums or Apple Knowledge Base article 93976 on "Troubleshooting iTunes, iPod Software, and Quicktime Installation on Windows". There are a lot of other Apple Knowledge Base articles on iTunes for Windows.

Safari 2 should have been installed by default along with Tiger and 2.0.1 was installed as part of the 10.4.3 update package. The current version of Safari is 2.0.2 which was part of the 2005-009 Security update. Have you checked to see what version you currently have on your system?

Try the GutenPrint 5.0 beta 2 (nee Gimp-Print) drivers.

How big is the hard drive? How much free space remains on the HD? Have you run Disk Utility > Repair Disk from the Panther Installer menu? How much RAM do you have in this machine?

Assuming your volume/directory system is not totally trashed or the HD hasn't gone over the the dark side, an archive and install will not effect your data files but be sure and read the Apple Knowledge Base articles before you begin. However you will likely find that some number of your...

OS X 10.3.9 is Panther. But even then you are technically downgrading from 10.3.9 to 10.3 then you would need to run the 10.3.9 combo updater to get back where you were before the Archive & Install. I strongly urge you to immediately run the combo updater because several things changed in...

Next time boot from the install CD/DVD and if the fans are still turning too fast, it is not a software issue!

Hour-glass! That sounds like Windows not OS X! :eek: Just on general principle completely disconnect your Macs from all power sources and let them stay that way for anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. Sometimes that will allow internal circuits that have been "choked" by the power surge to drain...

Like seika7, I use Password Master and I have 136 software serial numbers and 152 passwords stored in it. But there is a free option in OS X called Keychain Access which is found in the Utility folder. With Keychain Access you can create a new password protected keychain and store "Secure Notes"...

Your re-installation options depend on what you have done in the past. If you have upgraded OS X from the version you have on the install CDs you will have to do either an Archive & Install or an Erase & Install. The Archive & Install will save all of your current user data and settings...

I am a power user and rather than partition, I just add more internal or external hard drives. Partitions are a pain in the patootie and to paraphrase fryke, no matter what partitioning scheme you come up with the disk space you desperately need will always be on the wrong partition. That may...

Have you tried downloading another copy of the installer?
