To be frank, this iMac 1.8 ghz mesmerizes me. Noisy fans, hot
screen, hot back, this works, that doesn't. 4 kernel panics since.
In fact, a lot of small irritating things that makes my experience
with it not so great. I was expecting a lot more stability from X
and and this fabulous white iMac. For the first time in my life, I
am disappointed with an Apple product and I am starting to think I
wont keep this one more than one year. Some thing tells me it's not
as reliable as a faithfull G4.Hints or opinions?
it seems to me like you are having more problems than you should be having.
I have a few suggestions. Try making a new account in System
Preferences>Accounts, and login from there. See if help works, etc.
if it does, that means that you messed up the account you were
using, and i would suggest moving the stuff you want to keep to the
new account.
however, if the problem is still there in the new account, that
means you messed something up in /System/Library or /Library, and i
would suggest backing up your home folder, and reinstalling mac os x.
i dunno if that sounds like a reasonable course of action to take,
but that's what i would probably do if i were having that many
problems. I'm sure the other members of the list can say if my
course of action sounds reasonable or not :D
hope that helps,

Hi Ryan
This might sound a little dense, but how do you move stuff
you want to keep to the new account? I have a raft of stuff
transferred from my old computer, plus iTunes library etc I'd want to
have access to.
Thanks
