Hi. Listers.
I'm happy tooling along on my Ruby iMac DV and OS9, but my progressive daughter is using OSX 10.2.8 on her 17 inch G4 iMac.
Two of her applications - iMovie and iDVD - now will not get past the startup phase before the "... has unexpectedly quit" error message pops up.
If this happened on my OS9 G3 I would follow a certain troubleshooting routine, but I'm lost as to how to begin to help my daughter troubleshoot the OSX G4.
I'd appreciate any suggestions that you might send my way as to how to root out the problem. Thanks, all!
As always, start by repairing Permissions on the boot disk (Disk Utility). OS X is highly dependent on permissions for everything so if something gets munged it can mess you up.
Does the problem exist for all users, if not then try trashing the preferences for those apps for that user (/Users/username/Library/Preference).
Finally try reinstalling the application, right on top of the old one. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting
