I followed the directions that were given above with no luck. I tried about 3 or 4 times, following the directions to the T. In my frustration, I got up to go grab a beer and when I cam back, the computer had recognized the new driver and now it works perfectly. The moral of this story is that patience is a virtue. All the previous times, I would go to the drop down list to see if the printer had been added to the list. All the while the little progress wheel was spinning away and was looking for the driver and I was to impatient to let it do its job. So if you have had no luck at all, then give it about 5 minutes to search for the driver. BTW, I am on a 700MHz G4 Emac with 512 Mb memory and it works like new.

Finder won't run

After downloading the latest version of quicktime and restarting, I got a strange problem: Finder won't run and it seems like the, I don't know, desktop won't run. I can't see the items i've got on my desktop, I can't adjust volume or any of the top right desktop functions (i just get the "waiting umbrella" when i mouse-over them). On the other hand, Safari runs normally and I can open programs like Word from the toolbar and open documents from the disk through programs like Word.
I have tried to restart three or four times, but I feel kind of stuck.
Message was edited by: Haraldof

Same thing with me, only it wasn't after installing Quicktime. It happened to me when I tried to mount a big disk image. I could see the desktop picture, and I could startup and use programs, but I had no desktop icons, and every time I tried to launch/relaunch Finder, it would crash. I did an archive and install thing, and it worked to bring the Finder back for a short period, and then it happened again. The Finder wouldn't start.
This morning I was goofing around with the computer, trying to figure out what was up, and I got sick of hearing the external drives start and make their noise. So I turned all three of my Firewire and USB external drives off. Immediately the Finder started up! So… Try disconnecting any external drives and see if that helps. I hope so. Good luck.

Finder won't run/Hard Drive won't mount on restart!!?!

Hey all.
Restarted my Powerbook G4 on OSX 10.4.10 yesterday, and for some reason, the Finder does not run, and the HardDrive icon does not appear. My top bar appears partially, and my Dock appears with all my programs, but the desktop is empty!?!
Some of the programs on the Dock work (hence the internet). and the top bar becomes full when a program opens...but I can't access the Harddrive! Ahhh! There were some files on the desktop and on my HD that I needed, so surprisingly I was able to open up Acrobat, hit open file, and locate and open these files from the desktop or HD, and then save them to a USB drive....but why doesn't my finder work or harddrive mount??
I've zapped the P ram and nothing was fixed, I ran disk utility from my OSX CD...no problems. ***?? I also read somewhere about a divx problem with 10.5...but I ran that fix code in terminal....and it said "no such file or directory"...so it's not a DivX problem
Please help....I need my PB for work ASAP!!
Any suggestions?
Thanks guys....love the site!

Hi Johnny88!
What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
How much of the 512 MB RAM, is original, and how much is added?
What peripherals do you have connected? A keyboard, mouse, printer, external drive or modem, router, etc?
Insufficient available space, can cause this issue, as well as system corruption, and possible data loss.
Depending on Mac system usage habits, it is a general recommendation, to keep 10% to as much as 20%, of the Total capacity, available at all times.
More info here Problems From Insufficient .... Free Hard Disk Space, authored by Dr Smoke.
Suggestions for Freeing Space On Your Mac OS X Startup Disk, authored by Dr Smoke.
Is the Mac shutdown overnight, or does it run 24/7?
Have you ever run any routine Maintenance procedures?
If you turn the PowerBook off nightly, the Background Maintenance Tasks, are never run.
These can also be run, using a Third-Party utility, or manually using Terminal, to run the CRON Commands.
I use MacJanitor, when necessary.
INSTRUCTIONS TO RUN CRON MANUAL COMMANDS
Quit all applications/programs.
Navigate to HD > Applications > Utilities.
Double click on Terminal, to open.
At the prompt, type:
sudo periodic daily
Press Return.
Enter your Admin password when prompted, then press Return.
This will execute the daily script that is sheduled to run every night.
When completed, repeat this procedure, but change the command to:
sudo periodic weekly
This one rebuilds a database or two, and usually takes somewhat longer to complete. It is scheduled to run once a week.
Repeat again, with command:
sudo periodic monthly
Or they can all be run in one pass, which is preferable, with this command:
sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
When the tasks complete, and return to the prompt, you may quit Terminal.
Restart the Mac, and run Repair Permissions.
TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
2.Click First Aid.
3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".

Adobe Flash won't run on google chrome after downloading OS X Yosemite.

Adobe Flash Player is either running really slow or not running at all on Chrome. I tried Safari and it runs slow on that too. Tried redownloading adobe flash player and that didn't work. Everything on my computer is also running slow that uses internet and I've checked the internet, thats working fine.
Help Me Please!?!?

Contact Google. As for Safari I find that it works just fine. Be sure to upgrade to Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Safari and Internet Explorer won't run on my iMac G4 anymore (OS 10.2.8)

I cant get Safari or Internet Explorer (IE) to work on my iMac anymore. I can get iTines downloads and standard updates, but Safari and IE won't work - usually Safari will open (IE will usually not open completely - hangs up and must be force quit). Safari will hang up when loading a web page. Any ideas?

Try deleting the preference files for each.
Go to Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.Safari.plist and com.microsoft.explorer.plist.

IDVD won't run with my iMac PPC G5

I'm on an older iMac power PC G-5, and I'm still on OSX .5.8.
All I am trying to do is burn a DVD with iDVD, but I get message sayind my versions aren't compatible.
What's up with that?
I'm assuming I need to either upgrade my operating system, and/or purchase new iLife?
My iMac is so old I wouldn't even know what version I need that would work for me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to purchase and install iLife 06, 08, or 09, and then run Software Update. You can't upgrade the computer's OS any further.

Sorry for the lengthy title, I wasn't clear what I was doing.
Anyway I have two Macs. iMac from 2008 and 2011 MacbookAir. Airdrop I thought really poor when it appeared and no competiiton for DropCopy. My iMac, I'm pretty sure ran Airdrop to begin with but now at just over 3 years old is effectively obselete. Then to add insult to injury DropCopy is OK on the MBA but crashes repeatedly on the iMac.
So, I removed the Dropcopy and went to the App Store to reinstall it but it showed as "installed". That's it. What's Windows 8 like?

Go and have a look but you are nit gonna like what you see.
You have not mentioned what systems you are running on the two Macs, if they are on a network etc. That info would help a fair bit.

890FX-65 won't run stable on 16GB after bios update

My Set up:
MSI 890FX-65
1090T Phenom x6
MSI 6950 flashed 2gb frozr III
16gb(4*4gb) Patriot sector 5 DDR3
After live-update updated my bios from the ones that were stock on the board, my system will not run anything graphic intense with out either freezing or BSOD. It ran fine before the bios update, but i am not sure which bios were on the board stock. I have been through all the bios on the website flashing through M-flash, then i have even flashed back to v4.0 with the flash utility here from the forums. I have also run memtest86+ for over and hour and the ram showed no problems. If i take 2 sticks out and run at 8gb dual channel, i get no problems with either pair of ram installed.
Any ideas on what to try?

It was a 4*4gb pack, each was in its own plastic package, all 4 packages were in one box. They all also have the same serial #.
i have tested 2 sticks at a time with each stick, and all have passed memtest for an hour per set with no errors at all.
The bios try to run it as 1066mhz @1.5v @ 7-7-7-20 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) / 27-86-4-8-4-4 (RC-RFC-RRD-WR-WTR-RTP).
I usually set it to @ 1600 MHz @ 9-9-9-24 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) / 38-88-2-5-12-6-6 (RC-RFC-CR-RRD-WR-WTR-RTP) or
@ 1333 MHz 7-7-7-19 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS) / 29-69-2-4-10-5-5 (RC-RFC-CR-RRD-WR-WTR-RTP), both settings @ 1.65v.
passing memtest doesn't mean that memory is fine.

How about if you leave them at Auto?
or manually set to 1333 without chaning timmings.
What about command rate?

FCP 4.1 won't run on intel iMac

Hi,
I've just recently purchased Final Cut Pro 4.1... yeah I know it's not the most recent version, but I will be upgrading to studio eventually, and have installed it, and when I try and launch FInal Cut Pro, nothing happens.
Any thoughts.

it is Michael,
as I tried to explain, v4.1 is not Intel compatible,
you should be using v5.1 and above to take advantage
of your new Mac's processor ... you can try the
Rosetta trick (which attemts to run the application
by using the PowerPC emulator) but as has also been
pointed out. it might not work.
bottom line. if you bought v4.1 specifically for
your new Intel Mac, then you bought the wrong
version
that said, I'd try the Rosetta trick before I gave up
hope... and worst case scenario is having do the
crossgrade which happens to be a really sweet deal.
Thanks Andy, I understood what you were saying, and I will be crossgrading to 5.1 eventally.
Fortunatey I have an Mac Mini so I can pracitse with that, I had a feeling before buying 4.1 that it woudn't work on the Intel machine, but you can always hope.

Mac 'Finder' won't run on click/double-click without 1st closing Firefox & its little pop-up box (titled '2 items 0 kb available): why? & why have a Firefox icon (looks like a USB port on the desktop) too? Move that to Trash & Ffox doesn't work at all.

Hmm... that's about it, folks... Mac details are:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: Mac mini
Model Identifier: Macmini2,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz

Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

Hi. My iMac hard drive is running Mavericks. I have an old version of Quark Xpress (3.32) which won't run in Mavericks. Can I partition my hard drive and run an older system on one partition, so I can access my Quark? Is that possible?

Hi. My iMac hard drive is running Mavericks. I have an old version of Quark Xpress (3.32) which won't run in Mavericks. Can I partition my hard drive and run an older system on one partition, so I can access my Quark? Is that possible?

Hi ancelau,
QuarkXPress 3 is a Classic Mac OS application, so you need a version of OS X that still supports Classic. I believe 10.4 was the last one.
So if you have an iMac that boots with 10.4, then yes that is possible. I doubt though that newer Macs boot with OS X 10.4.
So why don't you upgrade QuarkXPress 3 to a newer version? I am not just asking that because I want you to spend money with us.
Typically using software that was released almost 20 years ago is just feasible when you keep an environment that was current at the time of release or a few years after, so an older Mac with a operating system present at that time. 20 years in IT is a lot.
So my opinion is that on a new Mac with a brand new operating system you need to use something a bit more current.
How about QuarkXPress 9 (released 3 years ago) or QuarkXPress 10? You are better off with v9, as QuarkXPress 10 only opens v7 and higher (whereas QuarkXPress 9 opens v3.1 and higher).
Or - I am even happy to make an exception - upgrade to 9 and we give you 10 for free? Let me know please.
Thanks
Matthias

Finder Won't Launch After Traumatic Re-Install

Hello All,
I've had one **** of a ride. I run 10.3.9. After a bad Mac update corrupted my boot disc, I was forced to reinstall...but since I bought my G4 used, I didn't have the original discs. I needed a computer up and running immediately, so installed the only operating system I could find...10.2.8. Luckily, all my files and apps are intact.
Today, I finally managed to find an install disc for 10.3.4. When I installed 10.3.4, everything was great....except that Finder won't launch. I can still launch the programs in my dock, but I can't get to apps that aren't in the dock...namely Final Cut Pro. I thought I might be able to beat it by installing the combined 10.3.9 update from Mac, but my Finder is still dead.
Any help anyone could provide would be more appreciated than you'll ever know. Thanks!

Welcome To  Discussions Mulcahey!
"...so installed the only operating system I could find...10.2.8."
"...find an install disc for 10.3.4."
What type of discs are these?
Are they a Jaguar Full Retail CDs, and a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs?
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
If not, that may be the problem.

IMac won't allow me to login after few hours

Hi everyone...
My iMac won't allow me to login after few hours. Actually I had a limited broadband connection which is free from 2AM to 8AM. So I have scheduled some downloads to start at 2AM and end at 8AM. Before going to bed, I just put on the screen saver. When I wake early in the morning and move my mouse.. blank screen turns on and colorful spinning wheel appears, but log-in window doesn't appear. This has happened thrice till now. Day before yesterday it was fine. But yesterday and today I got the same problem. Previously also it was working fine. I can't figure out why it is behaving like this...
Initially, in Power save options, I scheduled iMac to wake up at 2AM and sleep at 8AM and then used to put iMac to sleep before going to bed. It was working fine and did the same thing for more than a month. Now I have removed wakeup & sleep scheduled options from Power save options.
Following are the settings/options selected:
1. In energy save options, I have selected the option not to put iMac to sleep when it is inactive for certain time.
2. Put hard-disks to sleep whenever possible is checked.
3. I have scheduled the downloads in Azureus, Transmission and Speed download 5.
Following are the temps and rpms:
Temps:
HD: iMac, Vista: 124 F
CPU A: 117
Airport Card: 151 F
Ambient: 83 F
GPU: 133 F
GPU Diode: 137 F
GPU Heatsink: 137 F
HD Bay1: 124 F
Mem Controller: 121 F
Optical Drive: 110 F
Power supply1: 162 F
Fans:
CPU Fan: 1198 rpm
Hard Drive: 1199rpm
Optical Drive: 998rpm
One more thing, recently I have reset the SMU because it is taking too long to boot up. To my surprise, after restarting, fan (not sure which one) started to make bigger sounds. I then had to reset SMU two times and only then fan started to spin normally without any noise. I'm scared & worried...
Someone please help me where I went wrong.... what can I do to solve this problem..
You know I purchased this iMac for Rs.86000/- INR ($2097 approx.) ... after two months they slashed the prices by Rs.20000/- INR($487 approx.)... so this is how my luck seems to be

Hello and sorry. First, if you reset the SMU. make sure you do not hold the power button down while reconnecting the cable or it will reset the SMC incorrectly.
When you say you are logging in, are you logging onto the internet, or onto the computer/user account?
If it is intermittent than it sounds like your internet and that would be best handled by your internet provider first.
The following article is good for troubleshooting issues and you may wish to bookmark it.

If it is your internet you are referring to than try going to the Apple in the top left corner and clicking on it.
Than click on the System Preferences
Then click on Network
Then click on Assist Me.
Then Assistant
