Okay, now it's not starting up at all. I hit the power button, all the fans go on and hard drives spin up, but no start-up chime and screen never turns on. Does this mean the processor is officially kah-put?

Two more interesting crashe pictures I took with my camera. Do these help solve anything? crash stripes weird code

Recently (within the last few days) my computer has been crashing (not freezing) sporatically and many times a day. I'm running Tiger, verified permissions and such, even did an archive install of the OS. Still crashes. I have an old Sawtooth G4, and I upgraded it to a 700MHz (from OWC) about a...

thanks to a friend who was having the same problem and he figured it out, i can now fix the suspect MP3s. it happens when itunes mistakes an mp3 file for a quicktime movie file because of type/creator codes. the solution? you download a type/creator manipulation app (i use Quick...

Hello? I know I'm not alone in this predicament. A few other people I've talked to have encountered this as well. Maybe everyone on this forum is immune? :p Oh, and another problem is the new iTunes seems to buffer songs over 4 minutes long to a point where 10 seconds into the song, the CPU...

I searched here first and I couldn't find anyone else who has had this problem, or perhaps it just didn't bother them enough to make a new post. When I upgraded my iTunes to 4.9 when it came out, I noticed that a good number of my albums now had their album art evaporated. On the albums in...

Yes, they are/were both AGP cards so it would be rather difficult to keep them both in at the same time :p

After I installed my new Radeon 8500, my Displays preference pane has given me a new option. The arrangment shows two displays (I only have one) and how you can arrange them respectivly to each other. Since I do have only one, I have no use for the other one. It is annoying in the following...

I took your guys' advice and switched the minimizing effect to "scale." I can even do slow-mo scale and it doesn't freeze up. I guess I'll just have to live with this. Thanks for all of your help.

An old Sawtooth 400MHz (upgraded to 700MHz now) 1GB RAM, and running 10.3.5. I did try it before installing the ATI software, just running on OS X power, but that had the same dismal effect. Would it make a difference that I installed my OS, then installed my new card? Or would i need to...

I just installed a new video card after 5 years of the same old thing. I replaced my ATI Rage 128 (16MB) with an ATI Radeon 8500 (64MB) both AGP. Anyway, everything seemed to be going great until I got to the shrink-to-dock effect when you hit the yellow button on a window. Before, on my old...

Well, that's good to hear. An interesting note: I've tried massaging the affected area (sometimes you can get back ONE pixel like that) but when i put pressure on the spot, it feels hollow. Other areas of the screen are more 'taught' where as this is very hollow feeling; almost like there's no...

My monitor has recently developed a funny little habit. At least, it used to be funny and little, but it's more annoying and large now. I don't plan on getting any 'solution' for this, but I would like to know what it is, or how it started or why it happend. Here are some pictures...

Newbie... Trying to compile simple app with Emacs...error as follows: tcsh: /sw/bin/init.csh: No such file or directory. ld: Undefined symbols: _main any suggestions?

On a long shot, I decided to install OS 9 and see if it would like the HD better. IT DID! Once I had OS 9 Installed, the OS X installer took a liking to the HD as well. Who knew? Thanks guys :)

A friend of mine decided to upgrade their PowerBook G4 by getting a bigger HD and maxing out the RAM and upgrading from OS 9 to OS X. Anyway, since he didn't feel up to the challenge, he passed it on to me, having done a little PowerBook maintenace before. So, I got everything installed; 1 GB...

When I upgraded to 10.3.5 recently, I noticed that I can no longer launch iTunes or Safari. I've tried deleting the preferences for both (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes[Safari].plist) and still no luck. iTunes looks like it's starting; the icon has the arrow below it and it just sits...

I recently obtained a USB 2 CDRW that came with no cables. However, I'm fairly sure one of my USB cables is 2.0, but I don't know which one. Is there anyway to know conclusively which one is USB 2 without ruining a couple CDs testing the max burn speed on the various cables?

Yay! Thanks for reminding me. I had a demo of Synergy installed that I never use anymore and that kept opening it (I assume). Anyway, I trashed all my extraneous preference panes and now I can keep iTunes at bay. Thank you! :D

Don't get me wrong; I love iTunes. But not always. There are times when I don't want to listen to music (like when watching a movie) and I'd like to quit iTunes to save some processor speed. However, this has not been the case recently. Whenever I try and quit iTunes, he opens right back up...
