DNS Crap with Safari
I was getting hangs lags when loading sites with Safari. It was suggested that I put OpenDNS addresses in my network settings to fix the problem. It worked. Problem with that, tho, is that every so often OpenDNS blocks all sorts of stuff. YouTube, Vimeo, PhotoBucket, Flickr, FaceBook, MySpace, PirateBay, anything with naked people. Taking out the OpenDNS addresses fixes that but now I am back to the hangs lags. Any ideas? thanks -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

You could try using either google (8.8.8.8) or Level3/Verizon's at 4.2.2.1/2/3/4... But using those means that content providers won't always delivery traffic to you from a nearby location... Looking at the headers, it seems you are on fuse.net? These are ones that may be appropriate for you to use: 216.68.1.100 216.68.2.100 216.68.4.10 216.68.5.10 But, lacking that, if your on a static IP, I could always open up one of my caching servers for querying. Was / am using (per Fuse instructions) 216.68.4.10 216.68.5.10 This gets stalls but only in Safari. adding 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 cures stalls but gets the intermittent blockages.

Re: Which used Mac to buy?
I have not had any problems with CS3 on a MacBook Pro. On 11/13/10 3:25 PM, Bruce wrote: Hello Tom, Adobe CS1, CS2, CS3, have problems with 10.6 Snow Leopard. Adobe CS4 and CS5 have no problems with 10.6 Snow Leopard. Also, regarding Intel Macs, there is speculation that 10.7 Lion will drop support for the Core Duo Intel CPU Macs, because they are only 32 bit processors. So, you probably only want to consider Core 2 Duo CPU Intel Macs, because they are 64 bit processors. I have seen several used Intel Core 2 Duo CPU Mac Pros selling for right around a $1000.00 recently. A new Intel Mac Mini is only $699.00. Used Core 2 Duo CPU Intel Mac Minis are currently selling in the $200 to $300 price range.

So rather than muck around in its innards trying to revive it, which I don't have either the time or experience to do, I'm looking for a replacement, probably off Ebay. I'd like a quicker Mac anyway, and this is my excuse to get one. The Question: which Mac to replace it with? I don't have the cash for a brand new one, so should I get another G5, only a later and better one? Or should I step up to a used Intel Mac? I've always been impressed with the level of expertise and wisdom shown by the participants of this board, so I'm putting it up to you guys. I'm running Leopard 10.5 and Final Cut Pro 5, Adobe CS2 which includes Photoshop 9 and InDesign 4, and various other apps that work great with 10.5. I don't have a lot of money for updating my software, especially Final Cut, so should I stick with 10.5, or go for an Intel Mac that can run 10.6? If I use 10.6, will all these old apps of mine continue to work with it, or is it necessary to upgrade all the software to work with an Intel-based Mac? These are things I don't know. If I stick with a G5, I'd like to get a faster one than my 2.0 GHz DP, just to reduce all those long rendering times in Final Cut a little. So if I go for a faster G5, which is the best model to look for? Or rather, which are the ones NOT to look for, such as those famously leaky liquid-cooled ones? I'd appreciate any advice you guys might have on which Mac I should get before I go hunting for one on Ebay. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
