Try isolating ~/library/caches/com.apple.help.ui (or wherever it's located in 10.4.x) Getting rid of those caches works in 10.3.9 Nancy M This problem may have been fixed in 10.4.6, released yesterday and available from Software Update. Certainly, the problem where MacHelp occasionally displays a blank window has been addressed.

I Pod ....stilll...
Hey folks, well the saga continues, I still can't get the video library from my IPod 30 gig to appear on the ITunes playlist. Now it also refuses to update, says Itunes did not update blah blah because your software is too old... when I try to load the current software update it won't do it! Running 10.3.9 on a dual 1.42 GHz Power G4. I Pod is 4 months old I haven't been able to use the video component for 3 of them. Have looked at all the discussion pages but nothing i do seems to have any effect. Also what do they mean when they say it needs to connected via a Firewire cable? I've seen it mentioned but there are no Firewire cables that came with my Ipod?? i know there's a lot of problems with them, I hope someone has had some experience with this one!!?? Thanks all.

Re: Apple supports booting XP
I just can't wait to see Apple's next switch ads: I use to use Windows then I found Mac OS X... Now I find myself back in Windows... but with a prettier case Is it considered backsliding?? Why is it XP specific though? Is it to do with the formatting of the elegant disk utility Regards Christian On 05/04/2006, at 9:56 PM, Malcolm McCallum wrote: Un-bloody-believable!

Monster Mac Stall
Something that i was told about and thought i would forward it on. WEZ! MONSTER MAC STALL PRESBYTERIAN LADIES COLLEGE FAIR SATURDAY 8th APRIL 2006 10am - 2PM MONSTER MAC STALL THIS SATURDAY Apologies for any Cross postings... As you probably know, PLC is an Apple Distinguished School and probably the largest school user of Apple and associated equipment in WA. We've unearthed a treasure trove in a recently demolished store room and are ready to share the spoils! The PLC Technology Centre is running a stall to sell a wide range of used Apple and associated equipment in an effort to raise funds for our new Arts, Science Technology facility. eg. Large numbers of iMacs (Candy colored G3, Rev B through to Blueberry and Graphites etc), clamshell iBooks, scanners, networking equipment, several ZIP drives etc and much more incl LCs etc. Huge range of power and associated cables, SCSI etc... Netopia routers and all sorts of weird stuff Nothing at the stall is over $50 and most items $10 or less - power cords only a dollar or two! Do you have an older laptop that you have been searching for that power supply or SCSI cable that you can no longer source? (We even have working Powerbook 1400s to sell for nearly nothing!) Need a VGA dongle to replace the one you lost for any model of white Powerbook? Lost the 'duck head' (the little white pin adaptor bit) that connects straight onto you powerbook/iBook power adaptor? Do you need a screen/keyboard/optical drive to repair that broken iBook you've got in the cupboard, but were scared to death by the part cost when you went to the Apple dealer to have it repaired? Buy an old secondhand machine from the stall and use it for parts! We have all this and more... There are tons of OS9 software titles - PhotoShop, VR worx, FinalCut Pro v.1.0 etc as well as original Mac OS install packs and booklets etc for a wide range of older models... Lots of earlier installers of OSX to suit this era of machines... Drop in to PLC , corner of View and McNeil Streets in Peppermint Grove -THIS SATURDAY!!! Please pass on to anyone you know who might be be interested... Remember the early bird gets the worm, especially if its in an Apple! Tell your friends, but get there before them!

Is it to do with the formatting of the elegant disk utility Regards Christian XP SP2 has the latest drivers for today's hardware, whereas the older versions of Windows may not run. Plus, most modern software is written for XP, and the drivers for the graphics and sound cards in the Intel macs only have to be written for XP (there are different drivers for different versions of Windows). What this does provide is brilliant marketing for Apple, both hardware and software. Hardware wise, people can compare directly the speed of a Mac to a comparable PC. Software is a no brainer - people can see how OS X rocks over XP on the same hardware. And one other thing - games :-) There is a distinct lack of Intel ready games for the Mac, while there are tons of games for the PC, where probably 90% will never be ported to the Mac anyway. Seeya Rod!
