Frequent Kernal Panics and was told it could be drivers?

I recently was given an iMac G4 in fantastic condition (used for less than a year with no history of trouble). It was running 10.3, and after a few issues, I had Leopard installed. Things were okay for the first 2 weeks, but then we started seeing KPs. About 6 spanning from January to today.
I don't know how to read a kernal report, but I did ask some Mac users online who say they think it's software related, possibly bad drivers on something. Again, I have no idea what could be causing it, but I do know that the upgrade to Leopard wasn't smooth and I had to do it twice (it corrupted the first time). Also, this is a shared computer, so I'm not fully aware of everything that's been installed.
This is what my last KP report looked like:

Can anyone give me an idea of what "driver" or software could possibly be giving me the trouble?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response.
Yes, I think PG is some sort of security thing. I didn't install that one, but I did install Little Snitch. I know both of these were on my last G4 and there was never an issue and this one is slightly more powerful at 1.25Ghz (my other one was 1Ghz) and they both had the same RAM amount, but I will look into an upgrade.
I didn't do archive/install on my first attempt from 10.3 to 10.5. That was clean and it errored out. The second time, I did do Archive/Install (my roommate thought the install worked, since 10.5 showed as the OS, so she added her music and docs and didn't want to do it all over again). Someone at a mac tech forum told me I should wipe the drive completely and reinstall Leopard from scratch. Does that sound like a good plan to you?
Also, I'm not sure if this is related, but whenever I repair permissions, these come up:
Permissions differ on "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/OpenDirectory.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks /CFOpenDirectory.framework/Versions/A/CodeResources", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r-- .
Permissions differ on "System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ CoreText.framework/Versions/A/CodeResources", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r-- .
Permissions differ on "System/Library/Frameworks/CoreVideo.framework/Versions/A/CodeResources", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r-- .
Permissions differ on "System/Library/CoreServices/NetAuthAgent.app/Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r-- .
Permissions differ on "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/OpenDirectory.framework/Versions/A/CodeResour ces", should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r-- .
Whether I repair them from Disk Utility on the computer, or from the Leopard disc, I they come up and they're never fixed. I know certain permissions messages can be ignored, but I'm not sure if these can be included in that.
Thanks for your input.

HT6030 I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer. Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Hmmmm.

I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer. Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Expect it's due to being at 10.9.1. Mail is still teetering between dysfunctional and non-functional. Advice?

I'm not sure what "Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6" is. Mac OS X 10.5.6 is Leopard, a system that is quite old at this point. There have not been any Mail updates for Leopard in quite some time. If you are trying to install some old Mail update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 in Mavericks, that won't work.
If you are trying to install the Mavericks Mail update manually, that's not necessary if you have updated through the App Store. If the App Store shows no updates, you don't need this. (The error message doesn't make sense, and may indicate some other problem with your system, assuming that you were downloading this update from Apple's site.)
I'd advise you to start a new topic in the Mavericks forum and describe the problems you are having with Mail. Be sure to include specifics, but try to avoid speculating on causes, as responses that may be related to an inaccurate assumption on your part can cloud the issue.

wonder why the man in the apple store didnt ask me this when i said i had a G5 .. he just said if you have 10.5.8 you can install 10.6

HT4847 I purchased iCloud and was not able to use it because i have too much data. I purchased $100.00 plan and was told I could get a refund if it didnt work. Can you tell me how to get a refund? thank you

How do I get a refund for my iCloud purchase? I purchased the $100.00 one and my data was too large so it could not be backed up

Refund:
If in the US, follow the link below (you must request a refund within 15 days) -
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16968425#16968425
it gives the USA phone number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.
Keeping current plan, but downgrading when it ends:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backup>Change Storage Plan. Look at downgrade options. There you can choose the plan you want when the current one ends.

I purchased a Samsung s5 for full price and went to the verzion store and was told I could get my unlimited data back, but I couldn't wait the 45 mins so. Called and was told by the operator that Verizon was doing that anymore, has anyone else been lied

JJust was wondering if the store assoc. lied to get the sale quoted in

Where and how did you purchase the Galaxy S5? Did you have the unlimited data plan before making the purchase?

Is there any way to print from the iPAD 3 to a HP LaserJet P2055dn? I called Applecare and was told I could not print to my wireless HP Printer.

I own a iPAD 3. It will not print to my wireless printer: a HP LaserJet P2055dn. I called Applecare and they had no solution. I don't see such a basic function--printing--is not available. Does anyone have a way to print from the iPAD 3 to a HP LaserJet P2055dn?

I tried to purchase a song and was told I was from Canada and could not purchase it? Predjudice?

I just tried purchasing a Ben Cantelon song from iTunes and was told I could not because my user account was in Canada. And here I thought iTunes was internatiional in its scope. How wrong I was. This is just predjudice.

"iTunes browser plug in"... Whats' that?
Has it occurred to you that there may have been an error in the store, rather than prejudice against you, or Canada? Especially since you have now managed to buy the song, even though you're still in Canada.
Of course, one thing you should definitely take into account is that the decision to sell a song or album in any country is not made by Apple or iTunes. That is down to the artist, the record company or the copyright owner.
Believe it or not, Apple is not responsible for every single thing in the entire known universe!

I have just bought an ipad2 and was told that I could transfer all my saved photos from an old computer that I didn't want to synch with and then delete the ones I didn't want later. I can't do this without synching. How do I do this?

I bought an ipod2 yesterday and all the photos were from an old computer (that I don't want to synch with) were transferred in the store without synching with it. I was told I could delete any I didn't want later but now find I can't delete any without synching through itunes which I don't want to do as I want to synch with a different computer. Is there a way I can just delete them all before I go and buy any apps etc or just restore to the shop settings and start again with a more selective upload as I now have over 8000 photos clogging up the memory when I only need about 1000.
Would really appreciate some advice

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

I purchased a IPad Air with Pages and Numbers included. I was told I could use these apps on my other devices like my MacBook. How do I sync or add these to my macBook?

I have an iPhone 4S with broken speaker right now, I took it to the Genius Bar and was told to pay $199 if wanting it replaced. Is there anyway I could, get an iPhone 5 instead of 4S, even for a more expensive cost?

So here's the thing: a few days ago I found the volume of the speaker on my phone going very low when I pick up the phone, I could barely hear anything. We took it to the store and was told that we'd pay $199 if wanting it replaced, or getting an iPhone 5 for $130 for a maxplan. Ok, so it's next to impossible for me to give up my plan cause you can't find a plan nearly as good as mines at this price. Then is there any other way to get apple to give me an iPhone 5 instead of 4S even for a expensive price??

No.
All warranty or out of warranty replacements are of the same model only.

I have an Ipad2 and my daughter has Iphone 4s and I would like to have all SMS and IMessages duplicated on the IPAD2 I was told I could do this by typing in the mobile phone number into the IPAD2 some where in the settings.

I am a new mac owner and want to purchase Office for Mac. Thought I was told it could be purchased thru the mac store for approx $80 (word, excel, powerpoint). It is priced at $150 at the mac store. Any advice?

I am a new mac owner & want to purchase Office for Mac. Thought I was told I could get it through the mac store for approx. $80 (word, excel, powerpoint). However, it looks like the cost is actually $150. Is there a better deal?

Here it is from a trusted vendor of Mac goodies for US$100:
Microsoft Office 2011 Mac: Home/Student Edition. Single User License.
I also see the Mac version offered about every other week at Staples for about the same price.
Understand that the 2011 "Home/Student" edition does not come with a mail client.MS dropped Entourage with the 2011 version.
I am running Office 2008 on a Late 2010 i7 Quad iMac and a Core 2 Duo MBP (both are at OS 10.6.8) and I have no complaints. If you want the Entourage Mail client, you can still get Office 2008 from the vendor I linked.
I wonder if someone quoted the US$80 price thinking of Apple iWorks.

Is there any where that I can voice why I returned my beloved new Ipad? I was told I could move my Keynote presentations to it and then use it for my
business presentations. Unfortunately that turned out to not be true. I need the IPad to work with a remote.
The Ipad is on a short cable to my projector. I am usually on a podium 30 feet away. No infra red receiver on the IPad and
the Iphone remote needs wi fi which is not always available in all the locations I do my teaching and lecturing in.
If you can build a remote into the Ipad in the future I would really like to use an Ipad to replace my heavier lap top for business travel. Thank You Kathy McNeil.

HT201263 i was told i could re-sync after reinstalling itunes, etc. I've lost 99% of my apps on my ipad and cannot find how to recover it.

after updating to IOS6. i had to do a restore. i was told i could sync the ipad to retrieve all apps, but it's not happening. I've lost 99% of the apps and all pictures. Any suggestions?

I managed to lose an earlier reply I'd started before you came back with your "solved" so I didn't bother to retype it.
It went something like this:
You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into an authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup.
The older .itl file is useful however as iTunes should see this as the "home" library for your device which will allow you to preserve the application settings. (.itl file? Mac? I assume the library has migrated from PC to Mac at some point). Any files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder or did you kill those as well? The most recent of these would be the best place to start.
And no, the .itl file is not editable by mortals...
Once you've restored the media from backups or recovered whatever else you useful can from the device, the scripts MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks should help get the library up to speed with the contents of the media folder.
