    Finder hangs when accessing G5 superdrive

    Well it seems to be working now, having just taken off the keyboard extension cord... but it could just be teasing me. I'll repost in a day or two if the problem is still there. Our IT guy seems to think it's more an OS issue than a hardware issue - he's mostly PC but we're schoolin' him on...

    Finder hangs when accessing G5 superdrive

    Where else would someone connect the keyboard? It is, with the exception of the keyboard extension cord. Is that what you mean? I'll try it...

    Finder hangs when accessing G5 superdrive

    For the most part, this new G5 works great. But it's very frustrating when the Finder hangs when I just try to open up a CD or DVD. Also, I've had problems with the eject key not actually ejecting a disc for a long period of time (the system displays the eject icon in the middle of the screen...

    Photoshop - mystery color blocks

    I'll be working along in Photoshop and all of the sudden, rectangular areas of my file become discolored in certain layers, and I seldom can get it to reverse the problem in the history pallete, or by zooming out, or turning channels on and off. Does this sound like a tell-tale sign of data...

    I Hate OS X

    Yeah I know - but the thing is, I'm a staff designer here, and the company has to make that call. We just upgraded all our computers to OS X, ram upgrades, HD upgrades, etc. Photoshop is the next on the list, but I am not holding my breath. It takes a while for the management to see the...

    I Hate OS X

    Maybe someone can shed some light on this... I installed OS 10.2.3 from the CD (some of you may have read my horror stories about that...) Well, it's finally working semi-stable. yesterday I had no end of troubles with running Photoshop 5.5 in classic (my co. is too cheap to upgrade our...

    MSN Msngr, IE 5.2.3, Safari unexpectedly quits!

    Well, it started back when i first installed 10.2.3 on a freshly formatted drive - IE would quit right away, but I didnt think much about it then. Following that, I did download the 10.2.6 combo and then yesterday the 10.2.8 update. I discovered then, after moving all my old apps to the...

    MSN Msngr, IE 5.2.3, Safari unexpectedly quits!

    It's really the wierdest thing. IE 5.2, Fire, Mac Messenger, Adobe GoLive, MSN Messenger, Safari... basically anything that is OS X native and is Internet-related. They all Unexpectedly Quit shortly after launch. Most immediately crash, Safari waits until i go to the top or a different page...

    MSN Msngr, IE 5.2.3, Safari unexpectedly quits!

    I have OS X up and running finally. Yesterday I downloaded the lastest system update. Every time I start up the lastest MSN messenger, Safari, or IE they unexpectedly quit. I've been having a lot of UQ's lately... more like Expected, by now. ;) Can anyone shed some light on what in the...

    OSX Startup Garbage

    I did try it with the original 350 mhz processor but got the same "garbage" freeze on the gray apple screen. But if updating my firmware is a 'hard disk' thing rather than a rom/ram thing, I will try that when i get a chance. Too many projects to do first, but i really am anxious to get in...

    OSX Startup Garbage

    For a list of all the stuff I installed during the week leading up to the 10.2 install, see my original post above. I did install the firmware thru 9 on the old hard drive. Is it hard-disk specific or is it a hardware thing that writes to the ROM or something that would be unaffected by the...

    OSX Startup Garbage

    Hello all. I am having an especially frustrating time installing OS X, nevermind the fact that I installed a bunch of other stuff at the same time. Doesn't help the elimination process any... Here's my problem. In starting up under OS X, I get the gray start screen with the apple logo, and...
