If you can, the issue is somewhere within your user prefs or caches. If the problem persists, then the issue is either systemic or the third party is no longer compatible with your stuff. I seriously doubt the latter. As I said in my post, I was using Safari (5.0.6) and Firefox (3.6.28). Sea Monkey 2.0 worked to go to gmail website but very slowly. Any other website that I go to gives no problem in any and all of the above browsers. I created a new user as suggested and Safari still did not go to google, gmail but did work for other sites. The other suggestion, download TenFourFox latest version did work! I can navagate to gmail and search with google, this in my regular user file. I did a safe restart and also used DiskWarrior. No help for Safari or Firefox so I made TenFourFox my default browser. I think that it must be something with Google because 3 different apps are affected: Mailplane, Safari and Firefox.

I cannot find, at this time, the SuperDuper disk to install into the 1.67. But I do have SuperDuper on a working 17” 1.33 MHz G4 PB which also happens to be connected to the same 1 TB firewire drive. Can I just add/connect the new 15 PB directly to the same I TB drive via a FW cable, theres an open port on the TB drive, and ask Super Duper on the 17 to restore the back-up on TB to the new 15? The best way to accomplish your goal is to forget about Tiger 10.4 on the new 1.67 and instead do a clean install of Leopard 10.5, then during the installation process use the Migration Assistant to move everything over from the old TiBook. The way you do this is to select the option Transfer my information from another Mac and then boot the TiBook into Firewire Target Disk mode by holding the T key at startup and connect it to the new 1.67 with a Firewire cable and let the Migration Assistant transfer everything. You could also possibly transfer from the external 1TB drive if you wanted, but why use a copy when the original is available? Kris, thank you for your help, it is much appreciated. Very clear and simple. Thanks to Charles as well. You've both prevented me from expanding a disaster.

Blackscreen no chime
Hi all, I tried to get my daughter's PB G4 1.67GHz Al book to start up... Here's what she told me: recently, every time she used the pb with the power cord, any slight movement and the of the cord would cause the pb to go off and she had to anchor it so that she could charge the pb. I thought that she might have a short. The cord wasn't the original... it looks like the cheaper one you can get from OWC. She bought a similar cord on ebay and when she plugged it in, nothing happened. This replacement cord has a green light on it, which didn't light up. She then took the black extension cord from the cord set that was failing and tried to use it with the new cord. She still got a black screen but now a whine came along with it. I wasn't sure if there was a HD failure so I inserted a 10.1.4 startup CD, the only one I have besides 10.5 and it's probably the wrong one to have tried. Now the pb has a CD stuck in it. PITA! I thought that the PRAM might have gotten corrupt. I took one of my working original equipment power cords and connected. Black screen with whine. I zapped the PRAM... same result. I looked up how to reset the PMU for this model, reset PMU... and got a black screen with whine. I can also hear the whistle of the CD spinning up each time I try to start up... but can't eject it. The whine doesn't seem to sound like a HD problem. If it were the HD, wouldn't we get a bong, and eventually a question mark because a HD couldn't be found? I don't know where to go from here except to Apple... I hope that I can get this solved with your help.

OT? Cosmopod
Hi all. This question may be OT... forgive me if it is, but I know I get an answer here... During the last few hours, whenever I open Safari, I get a dialog box asking if I want to download Cosmopod.
