  • Okay, a thank you to all for you help. I don't know what did it, but it has fixed itself and is back to working normally. I can schedule shut down and sleep again. yeah! I even fixed the iChat update problem. All without crashing the computer. …
  • Okay, quick update. Ran disk repair and repair permissions from install CD, didn't fix the problem. Currently running through the forms linked, including other links to see if I can find something that works. Still very frustrating, such a simple…
  • Thank you for more ideas. I will try them sometimes soon. I can't get to an apple store easily, nearest is 5 hours away. But I will try other ideas and report back. Thanks.
  • Can you reinstall just preferences part of osx? That would be cool to not have to reinstall everything and then reupdate everything, I'm onto 10.3.4 now.
  • Okay, so tossed powermangement and autowake pref's, didn't work. I checked sharing prefs, it's off. Disk first aid, do you mean starting up from the CD and running first aid? Because I can't run it from the computer. I assume that's what you mea…
  • Okay, so resetting PMU did not work , neither did zapping PRAM, repairing disk permissions(twice), trying under a different account(still have to input administors name when chaning system prefs under separate account), or deleting the 'system prefe…
  • Okay, so resetting PMU did not work , neither did zapping PRAM, repairing disk permissions, trying under a different account, or deleting the 'system preferences' under my home library folder to where it creates itself a new one. Out of ideas!
  • It's a 17" 1.3 edition powerbook. And it won't sleep only through the schedule option of the energy saver preference. Otherwise, all is fine other than the stupid iChat thing.
  • I have posted this in response before. But when doing regular typing/writing, it's nice to put two pages next to each other side by side. Also, if you are ever stuck somewhere and want to watch a movie, that 17" is nice. Better than renting a stu…
  • Talking about Konfabulator, should have been more precise. As for screen, I thought maybe lower brightness means less work for computer. It sounds really stupid as I type it now. Although I know at lowest setting I have seen an affect when the sc…
  • Reading all these posts. I agree, woman deserve total respect. But here's where I get confused. Why do women not like the 'nice guys'. All these qualities listed, honesty, trust, respect, etc. Bad boys don't usuallly offer this, yet nice guys g…
  • And pay attention to the hardware requirements. IMG previewed it and the guy said it ran slow on a 1.25 powerbook. I soooooo want to buy this, remember what a blast the first one on my original iMac was. (Thinking about keeping that computer just…
  • I've been trying to figure out how to carry my 17" pb around too. I came accross this binder type deal. http://www.macyummies.com/ma17pusibi.html The nice part about it is that you can use the computer while still in the binder, just flip it open…
  • The exact problem is that, it trickle discharges with ac plugged in. I don't mind that it doesn't get up to 100%. It's just that it ends up dropping to 95-94% and recharging. It usually takes a week or so to discharge, but it's consistent about i…
  • Okay, so it helped some for sure. But had a strange side affect. I dumped the folder wed. night, and it took until thursday night for the generic favicons to show up. Weird.
  • What the last post said. Same thing for me. Started with an Apple II, loved those tiny computer in a box years, the SE, etc(although never actually owned one). Had a LCIII for high school and started using internet with a screaming 14.4 modem. T…
  • Okay, so that was weird. i tried to post this topic. I'm curious if anyone is planning on buying the new command and conquer game. I just read the preview on inside mac games. It looks awesome, especially the preview videos, even if that is ther…
  • And just realized that camera is covered in all the other links posted. Oops.
  • I have to say though, what kind of action? Because even the Digital Rebel can miss things. I don't remember what it's sustained shot capacity is, but might be a good idea to check the specs. For price, anyone know about the Canon 8mp camera that …
  • Interesting thread, I just posted about being semi-lost in osx forum a while ago. I have that ingrained system 7 and 8 in my brain(skipped 9). So moving to jaguar has been quite a change. Went and bought the missing manual, huge help. I think th…
