Do all the Software Updates. Things do get fixed in them... I login
to my Admin account once a week and apply any Software Updates
available. Haven't been any for a couple of weeks now.
Are you using automatic synching of your .Mac account iDisk or
synching calendars/address book, etc to .Mac? I've seen this behavior
most often when using the automatic iDisk synching feature. The
synching feature works well most of the time, but if the connection
is slow for some reason it can get confused.
The other possibility is that you're using a jump drive or card
reader that has poorly implemented the mass storage device class
firmware: it might not be closing the volume correctly. The USB
driver might not be loading properly, etc. When using such devices,
be sure that you first eject (dismount) the volume before pulling the
drive from the USB port, and be sure that any activity light on the
drive has stopped flashing before you pull it too. I know that on my
Belkin card reader, the activity light flashes when I've dismounted a
storage card volume for about 2-3 seconds. After that it's safe to
pull the card from the reader.

Question for the Mac users.
Lately and only on occasion, when i shut down the ibook, i get a
pop up screen that says to the efect: Unable to shut down, Mirror
agent application did not quit properly. You can force
quite.....etc etc.
Any idea whats happening here. It seems to do it after using a usb
jump drive or usb card reader, but not always.
I tried to use Mac help, but i can never seem to get it to do
anything other than get the coloured wheel spinning.Nothing ever
prints in the whelp window.
G4 with OSX Tiger. I have done some of the upgrades since owning it.
