You identify your OS, but not your Mac model. I think what you're seeing is a kernel panic, which is often the result of defective hardware. Do you have the original disks with your Mac? If so, try a reboot from Disk 1 with the C key held down. Run a disk check with Verify, and Repair if...

Thanks. 1.6 isn't there. I've learned from another forum that 1.6 is not supported in Tiger. If that is the case, I'm left to wonder why on earth Apple included it as part of the update released a few days ago. A SNAFU?

A very interesting question. I too d'loaded Java 6 (81 Mb!!!). I followed Satcomer's advice and the latest Java showing is J2SE 5.0. So where is v6 and what is it doing?

Okay, I did some checking with knowledgeable folk yesterday and the advice was APC brand. Not the cheapest, but the best. I looked at a Thor brand UPS with built-in surge protector but it was described euphemistically as "entry level". I use Arlec brand power peripherals and none have failed as...

Seems to me that from your perspective, your best bet is to ask at the university for the name of the company that installs the computer equipment and peripherals, and then approach that company for advice. While you're investigating, I would certainly advise you to consider a combined UPS +...

My vote goes with Hitachi for its reliability.

Let's start with the basics ... is the power cable okay? Can you test it with, say, an electric jug? Or a multimeter if you have one, because the flange on the eMac plug can be an obstacle. Next thing to check is the power button itself. I've read a number of posts about eMac owners having to...

Mactracker recommends Tiger as the maximum OS for that model of G4. Where to get it? http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=12å20742905/ref=a9_sc_1?ie=UTF8&search-alias=aps&field-keywords=mac%20os%20tiger http://search.ebay.com/mac-os-tiger_W0QQ_trksidZm37Q2el1311QQfromZR40

I couldn't connect to some sites eg. Seatubes wouldn't work, said there was no internet connection, Apple Update said the same thing, but I had no trouble whatsoever with sites like this one, YouTube, BBC, plus several others. So what gives? HTTP Proxy, that's what. Firefox 2.0.0.16 btw. *But*...

This is a bizarre Mac issue which I too have experienced, same OS, very irritating, and I believe it's something to do with the OS unmounting the disk. The only workaround I've found is to drag the dvd (or cd) disk icon to the Trash, or occasionally Cmd-E. I think the reason iTunes ejects...

Can we have more detail about that "power bar" please, perhaps a thumbnail photo? If it's one with a surge protector built in, this may be the cause of your LaCie's woes. Power 'flutter' (fluctuations in voltage of ± 12v or more) can play merry scratch with things like external hard drives...

Yes, it will be safe. Just wipe the sensor gently in one direction only, using a cotton bud if possible, don't rub. If the regulations in your country are similar to those here, you can buy small quantities only from a pharmacy (drug store). The thing about iso alcohol is its purity, no...

Your printer must be switched on. Go to Printer Setup Utility, choose your printer model and then click Utility. When it finds your printer, click the Maintenance button. You should be given a range of choices, including Deep Cleaning. See if that solves the problem you're experiencing...

Do you have the top menu bar visible? If so, click Finder and select Preferences. What is checked to display on your desktop? When you say you've "tried" reinstalling the OS, did you succeed? If yes, and you didn't choose Archive & Install (I'll check my Panther OS disks shortly), you may...

What does your System Profiler show when you select USB under Hardware?

And then run Repair Permissions. I recommend Onyx, a free utility. It keeps your Mac sweet and tidy. If you use your Mac a lot, run Onyx weekly. Incidentally, I've just noticed your location - Patagonia - and your first reply was from Alaska, and now from NZ. Your Mac is a well-traveled beast.

Just been through the exercise of restoring my two printers to my eMac after reinstalling Tiger. I had to use the original printer software CDs, nothing else would work. I got the same problem as you - the printers were there but I couldn't add them until I used the original disks.

Does this help you? http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1450379&tstart=70 And the thing about that ifixit site is that you do the fixing, they tell you how.

Try this: haul that external hard drive out of its enclosure and put it in your PM G5, you've got two drive bays in there; or buy an inexpensive SATA/IDE-USB adaptor kit. Archive and Install on to your extra internal hard drive and then see if you can get into the faulty disk to extract the...
