Mobileme iWeb page problem Solved
I was having trouble with a dot mac webpage. Everything worked except the ³Post a Comment² link in the blog. The solution was: With the change to Mobileme http://web.mac.com/blitto/Hawks Becomes http://web.me.com/blitto/Hawks We were visiting http://web.mac.com/blitto/Hawks (the old address) Which still works EXCEPT that the ³Post a Comment² doesn¹t work. So I needed to tell everyone to update their bookmark to the new address.

Re: Latest security update
Following my reinstallation from the upgrade disc I now have 10.5 as the OS. Prior to the problem I had 10.5.4 1) When I archived and installed, would my previous OS (10.5.4) have been retained on the HDD. 2) I do have a backup on Time Machine back to June. Would that help to get 10.5.4 updates without downloading the combo afresh? 3) I did have a folder in the dock for downloads with stacks but I inadvertently dragged it into the desktop and lost it. Is there any way of getting that folder and stacks back in the dock? I hope someone has the time and patience to answer the above Cheers John On 9/8/08 6:24 PM, John Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all The only Leopard disc I had is the upgrade disc from Tiger.

Hi John, I think you might have some directory problems. a) Startup in Safe Mode, this will take awhile longer to startup because OSX is actually scanning your entire hard drive for problems. b) After starting up in Safe Mode, restart your computer normally and then repair permissions using Disk Utility. To startup in Safe Mode: To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), do this: 1. Be sure the computer is shut down. 2. Press the power button. 3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before. 4. Release the Shift key when you see the grey Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).

g5 iMac Sporadically closing down?
Hi all, Hoping someone out there might point me somewhere useful :-) I have a 3 yr old 1.8 mhz g5 iMac (Just out of Applecare naturally.) Over the last few weeks, the machine has been working fine except that once every couple of days it makes a small pop and closes down For about a minute, pressing the power button just makes it come on then off again. Shortly thereafter, she powers up but (what sounds like) the fan makes a lot of noise for about 30 seconds CPU temperature is 75% - that sounds OK, yes? Anyway, today the machine did it twice in the space of 15 minutes.starting to get a little nervous here... ;-) Strangely though, I thought it might have something to do with the power supply, so was wiggling that while it was dead and the machine turned itself on.. I know...confusing eh? Can anyone offer any advice beyond 'back up everything and brace your wallet'? cheers Stewart -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: g5 iMac Sporadically closing down?
My iMac G5 does the same periodically. I figured it was overheating, as it was happenning after it had been on for a while. So now I have a small fan next to it (clearing the air behind it). If it goes to sleep, I switch on the fan and it is all fine from there on. Hope there is a proper fix.

If you press the on/off button once, does your session come back up? Mine does - it won't wake up with the keyboard/mouse.
