With 10 years of hard drive replacement experience, I can assert with confidence that Maxtor, Western Digital, Toshiba (or trashiba, as I like to call them), Quantum, and Fujitsu drives are all JUNK! I only feel comfortable with Hitachi and Seagate drives. And yeah, I know Seagate now owns...

The humming might be that your hard drive is physically "compressed" -- IE, there's too much pressure on top of it. It's pushing the metal shell down on the internal components and causing it to "rub". If that's the case, a new hard drive is probably in order. Also note that Apple's laptop...

Go into Hard Drive > Library and locate the Fonts folder. Rename it "Fonts Disabled". Go into your home folder (the one with the 'house' icon), and into Library. Rename the Fonts folder to "Fonts Disabled". Reboot your computer and test. If the problem went away, you have a font conflict. All...

Adobe has decent tech support and if you tell them that you're seriously considering a purchase of CS3, but that you need to get the trial running first ... I'm sure they'll help you.

Download and install Flip4Mac. Even if it doesn't help you with this specific situation, it's a much better implementation than Windows Media Player: http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm Second, you might need to install other video components into QuickTime like DivX for example...

How could you do what? I don't see how it's a limitation that Applications can only run from the Applications folder. Frankly, I'm relieved that a certain degree of enforcement is going on -- scattering Applications about is messy and irresponsible. Workgroup Manager is for managing the...

Are you running Mac OS X 10.5? Are any updates offered to you if you go to the Apple Menu and choose "Software Update" ??? If so, does the problem remain after installing all of Apple's recommended updates?

Have you tried connecting to another network?

Have you downloaded the latest version of Parallels? I can confirm that Parallels runs fine on my Mac OS X 10.5.2 Intel-based MacBook Pro 17" Core 2 Duo 2.33 Ghz. Even if you think you have the latest version of Parallels, download it and install it again. Let us know what happens.

I guess I would try an "archive and install" this point.

What happens if you boot up and log in with the SHIFT key held down? Also, if you can boot into single-user mode, mount the hard drive, then set aside the /Library/Caches folder and the /Library/Fonts folder and the ~/Library/Caches folder and the ~/Library/Fonts folder and see what happens.

Are you installing from an "admin" account?

I'd recommend Seagate or Hitachi ... steer as far away from Maxtor & Western Digital as possible!

Did the Migration Assistant finish? How much free space is left on your iMac G5 HD? How much data is on your iMac G3 HD? How large is your iMac G5 HD?

Further, florescent backlights fade (get darker) over time. Whereas LED should not.

If you boot your computer into Mac OS 9, you should be able to install Illustrator 8. Then when you're finished, boot back into X and make sure the Classic is configured to run on your System (Apple Menu > System Preferences > Classic). You should then be able to run AI 8 with classic. If...

My suggestion would be that you carefully remove the PRAM battery and take it with you to Radio Shack. They'll be able to test the battery level for you. Then buy a new one, cause yours is probably dead (especially if it's the "purple" one). You can also reset the NVRAM by booting up while...

You can also do it from Toast.

Quit out of Safari. Go to your home folder > Library and locate the "Safari" folder. Right-click (control-click) and create an archive of the Safari folder (just as a backup). Then go into the Safari folder and throw all of the files away EXCEPT the Bookmarks.plist file. Restart Safari and try...
