I'm using an iMac, 10.4.11, verizon dsl, teranews and newswatcher.  I
have problems with nearly every movie format.  Mpgs usually just don't
play at all.  Avi's oftern will play the first file, but not the rest of
them, and sometimes only play the sound but not the video.  Wmv's ...

I recently bought an external firewire 500GB hard drive (Iomega
MiniMax). I partitioned the drive into two parts then cloned the
computer's hard drive on to the smallest partition using SilverKeeper.
The drive format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

I have a tiny LAN around a D-Link DI 624 that's supposedly a robust WiFi
 router and broadcaster. However, in the last week or so, I've

I've successfully installed Leopard on a re-formatted drive inside a
"800"Mhz G4 AGP machine (PowerPC G4 2.1 with 1GB Ram) by targeted
Firewire mode from a new MacBook Pro.  It starts up the MacBook Pro
fine, and I see that the OS was installed successfully, but when I go

I pulled up a the Message menu in Hogwasher and saw the command to "Kill
series"  (I have no idea what that means).

at the keyboard command so I wouldn't have to do it again.

Does it really make any difference in speed or reliability?
If I use Bootcamp should it be MBR?

And how do I get it on my mac?
Since I installed Leopard Automator doesn't work and the console is full
of messages about things not being found including:

Has anybody seen this, and what does it mean? :
I installed 10.4 (retail DVD) on a G4 (MMD dual 1.25MHz).
The 120 GB drive has 3 partitions - about 10, 50, 50 GB.
The first partition harbours system 9.2.2 and was quite full.

it is in linux
for example
make 3 partitions and have /Applications   installed on one partition

I have what I think is an unusual problem, and it has me stumped.
My intel core 2 duo iMac has the stock, wired mighty mouse attached. It
is the one that comes in the box with the iMac. On occasion, the scroll
function will cease to work in one direction. This may last for a

Well, the MacPro arrived and I can't for the life of me figure out how
to configure the 2nd ethernet port. I want to hang a subnet off that --
