Hi
My Powerbook was the same. Only fix is to reinstall OSX from the install CD but be sure not to pick the Format and install clean. Once you boot with the install CD pick the preserve user data and settings.
On My machine the reinstall looked perfect. My network, email, files and all the programmes were all there. Most apps worked fine but Adobe CS2, Virtual PC and NetBarrier all needed reinastallation as they reported a few files or registration was missing. I went for the 10.4.3 upgrade again and it worked fine.
Good luck

  • How can I get my iMac to work with scanners?

    How can I get my iMac to work with scanners? The scanners scan just fine, but not to my iMac. I've tried Epson and HP all-in-ones; it makes no diffference. I'm becoming extremely displeased, but don't know at whom I should be displeased, the printer guys or Apple. Help?

    My Epson is able to do scans using Image Capture without any problems at all.

  • How can I get my imac to get valid ip numbers?

    how can I get my imac to get valid ip numbers?

    Try renewing you DHCP Lease, click on your system preferences and then click network.  Select your ethernet connect on the left then click the advance button, when the windows opens make sure the TCP/IP tab is selected then click the Renew DHCP Lease, wait a few minutes and then check your IP address.  Also check you DNS by clicking on the DNS tab and taking a look at you DNS servers then should be the same as you other computers. 

  • How can I get my IMac to recognise the scanner part of the HP printer/scanner?  It prints!

    How can I get my iMac to recognise the scanner part of the HP printer/scanner?  It prints!@

    I had a similar problem right after the first update to 10.6.7, which happened to quite a few people.  It took a couple of software updates and then an HP printer update to fix it.  So make sure that all your software updates are up to date.   Mine is an older printer: C6280 All-in-one but scans fine now that my mac recoginises it.  You might want to check on the HP site also.
    It was really frustrating because it had worked fine before.

  • How can I get my iMac to show videos, such as those on YouTube, again?

    How can I get my iMac to show videos, such as those on YouTubes, email, AOL, and others, again.

    OK. What happens when you try?
    Have you updated your Flash to the latest video? Worth trying again, just in case you haven't.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Click Install Now, download, and run the installer from your Downloads folder. Make sure you install it all the way (it'll ask you to quit Safari). Then re-launch Safari and try the video sites again. If that doesn't work, download and run Firefox, and try there - let us know if one browser works and one doesn't.

  • How can I get my iMac screen to divide into sections? I'm using OS X 9.2. Thanks.

    How can I get my iMac screen to divide into sections? I'm using Maverick OS X 9.2. Thanks.

    You cannot split a monitor up into sections in Mac OS X.
    You can have separate monitor spaces or desktops that you can access using the Spaces or Mission Control functionality in OS X Mavericks.
    You cannot split monitor views into seperate sections
    There is no such way to do this in Mac OS X.
    Do a search for an app called Cinch OR another app called A Better Snap Tool. Both of these apps are in the Mac App Store.
    These may work for you.

    Use iCloud to sync the calendar between your MacBookPro and your iPad.

  • How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?

    How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?  I need to free up space on my iPad

    Assuming that you synced the photos from iTunes - or whatever downloaded means - you must use iTunes again in order to remove the songs from the iPad. You have to uncheck the albums in the photos folder that you sync from in the Photos tab of iTunes and follow that with a sync.

  • How can I get anniversaries to show on my calendar from my contact list?

    How can I get anniversaries to show on my calendar from my contact list?

    well i dont know if this is what you want but you could says it is a birthday and it will tell you when it is, it can remind you, and even tell you what number (i.e. 23rd anniversary)
    - actually nevermind that wont work because it will always say birthday and you cant have two birthdays scheduled for the same person. i do not think that is possible without actually putting it in calendar to repeat every year and just telling you. Sorry.

    I have MS Office 2011 opens everytime I start my computer, how do I prevent this from happening? (P.S. Office is not even on the start-up program list)

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, make sure that Office applications are closed when you turn off the computer. Then, when you are going to turn off the computer in  > Shut Down, unmark "Reopen windows when logging back in"
