Reinstalling os x panther

If i Reinstall Os x will i lose my photos, documents, music files ect. ?
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Not necessarily but you would have to do an Archive and Install.
How to Perform an Archive and Install
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) 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, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Reformat/Reinstall Question re Panther

Hi and sorry for any duplication of this questionin other posts.
I need to reformat a 160G HD in my Dual Boot G4. OSX 10.3.9
must be reinstalled. It is too late to use clone apps like SuperDuper because the drive was unfortunately already erased, and a manual drag-back of the entire contents of the
backed-up contents of the HD was performed, leaving missing
invisible files missing. Hence, System 9 Folder seems to be okay, but, for OSX apps there are certain apps - mainly browser/
email, which i would prefer to retain the original settings, and,
migrate existing email folder contents (inbox/sent box etc).
The browser is Netscape 7.2.
If possible i'd prefer to simply drag/drop over anything that i can
after wiping and reinstalling/updating the HD system back up to 10.3.9. I also assume that for my Sys. 9 folder (dual-bootable MDD) i can do a clean install and drag/drop prefs manually for the various apps within the OS 9 domain which i boot into independent and separately of OSX operation.
I'm looking for the shortest path by which to accomplish this
reinstall and to minimize the amount of individual application
reinstallations from scratch...wherever i can drag existing apps
and associated Prefs into the right places within OSX Panther.
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Cornelius, thanks and i will try to clarify as concisely
as possible;
Does this HDD have anything on it currently?<<
Yes, the HD does have elements of the previous OSX System
but will not boot from OSX (a result of the "drag-back" of
backed up content, along with my OS 9 Folder, rather than
being able to successfully use SuperDuper or other clone
app....
Do I understand that you backed up the HDD in question by copy by dragging to a backup drive, erased HDD and copied stuff back by dragging?<< </div>
Yes. As such, System 9 FOlder/Contents seems to be fine
having done it that way, but i recognize why OSX does not.
Are you planning to erase the drive again, install Panther, and repeat the process of copying by dragging?<<</div>
I want to erase/reformat the drive again, and reinstall Panther using proper Disk-Set procedure of restore/reinstall
but save original prefs of as much of the previous system(s)
apps (for both OS 9 and OS X) i want to save/preserve..
presumably having to do so by manual drag where possible.
Does this mean you want to repeat the process which you have already performed?<< </div>
No, just whatever can be salvaged for individual application
preferences, most importantly, Browser/Email (bookmarks,
inbox/address books, mail settings prefs)- within BOTH
systems... I would like to preserve, rather than having to
a) re-enter User Prefs, Mail Settings and also need to
keep existing Email in the respective browser mail apps.
Other apps, i can take the time to reinstall and re-enter
registration data.
I hesitate to make assumptions in terms of what you are doing. However, backing up and restoring by copying by dragging, while it works for simple data files, for some typs of apps, and for OS 9 System Folder and OS 9 Applications folder, will not give you the desired outcomes for other types of files. In OS X there are hidden files which are essential to the efficient functioning of the OS that cannot be copied by dragging.<<</div>
My questions above is to ascertain exactly what you have done so far and what the current situation is. We can then take it from there to see what can be done next to minimize the damage and enable you to recover in the best way possible.<<
I totally understand. the entire situation as it stands
happened due to some anomaly whereby using CarbonCopyCloner
(and SuperDuper before that) was sidetracked because both
programs reported inability to recopy "All Files" back to
the Drive (error message to that effect). To get back up and running in OS 9, I then just dragged OS 9 System back
onto the HD and have been using that environment only.
Soo, the bottom line is, i need to erase the HD and reinstall it all...but want to save whatever prefs i can
in the proper fashion. (Far more familiar with doing so in
OS 9 stuff than OSX)
Hope that addresses where i'm at with this and appreciate
your help.

Can't reinstall Tiger 10.4.6

I previously upgraded from the original Panther 10.3 on my Power PC G4 with the Black retail upgrade disk with the large silver X (v10.4.6) that I purchased from Apple and everything was fine for 2 years. This month I installed a new internal ADA 320 Gb drive (properly using the correct jumper in the back) and installed Tiger on this drive using the install disk. Now I reformated the original drive (60Gb Mac OS EXtended) and can't for the life of me get the Install disk to reinstall Tiger on the reformated drive. It gets half way thru and freezes. The same thing occurs on my 500 GB external LaCie Drive (Firewire). I have tried to install using cutom and just the basic essentials to no avail. I would like to be able to have an alternate drive to start up from but so far have been frustrated. I even reinstalled the original Panther on these drives (performed easily and no problem) so that the Tiger Install disk can do an archieve and install but alas to no avail. Anybody have any suggestions as to what's wrong with my Tiger Install Disk.

It sounds to me like it could be the disc, or it could be the optical drive. You have to reduce the equation to one unknown by using a different drive or different disc to see which one (if either) it is.
Another way to get the OS onto that drive is to do a complete bootable backup clone. Of course this won't be as clean an OS as a fresh installation but will work until you have the issue sorted out.
Cloning And Backup Tools
A bootable clone is an exact copy of your drive which is capable of booting your computer. Making a copy of your computer which is capable of actually starting the computer requires special copying procedures. Some people just back up data files but if you have problems you have to reinstall all your operating system and all your applications. With a bootable clone you just start up from the backup drive and clone back everything.
To copy files from one hard drive to another hard drive you can use:

Help! - Can't re-install Tiger, Panther etc.. Just won't start up -

I have erase my hard drive and tried to re-install Tiger. It successfully installed the 1st time, but every time I tried update, software update quit, and then safari quit when i tried to download the updates manually. Shortly afterwards the Powerbook froze.
I have tried to reinstall Tiger - then Panther from my original system disks - The hardware test says all is fine. The drive shows to install - but can't find a drive following installation.
Any ideas?

RAM failure can lead to kernel panics, unexpected quits, more spinning beachballs than you would expect for specific kinds of processes, and it can potentially cause problems with software installation. Note, if a hardware test reveals bad RAM you can believe it. You can't though believe a hardware test when it says the RAM is healthy, as bad bits can't all be tested in the known age of the universe.

Help Possible Virus or Unexplainable System Behavior

Okay I have an Apple PowerBook G4 which I got in winter 2003 with Mac OS X Jaguar 10.2.8 originally which I had shortly afterward updated to Panther and 10.3.9 has been working just fine till last couple of weeks when I have begun to notice the following problems:
1) system was freezing up -- Finder would either crash or freeze and would require force quitting Mac wouldn't respond so I ran Disk Utility and repaired Disk Permissions couldn't find anything wrong so I ran Disk Utility of the OS X CD to repair disk and it found some errors in the disk I tried fixing them unfortunately Disk Utility couldn't do so and is only app I have for disk repair at present.
So I end up backing all my files and reinstalling OS X Panther from scratch and all my applications. Microsoft Office X, Virex 7.2 anti-spyware software with definitions, Mac OS 10.3.9 Cobmined Update, the Apple Security Updates and Microsoft patches for their Mac products to fix vulnerabilities in Mac Office etc and any and all other apps I had.
Problem is even afterward the most bizzare things have been happening. Sometimes when I open my iTunes Music Library -- have some music and videos in there -- videos of course in .m4v iPod format -- the problem is 3 out of 5 times each time I quit and re-open iTunes it says that my iTunes Library file is damaged. How did it get damaged. I trash the damaged file and re-import my music. Is it okay to do this automatically? I mean I still have my files on the hard drive (since OS reinstall I copied everything back) and when I trash damaged file iTunes automatically scans the contents of my hard drive, finds and automatically imports pre-existing tracks into the Library -- I shouldn't have to delete the music files along with the damaged Library file and then re-copy the music when the working Library file is available.
Anyways iTunes occasionally reports the Library is damaged and I have done nothing to cause its damage. Sometimes in Safari -- another problem is also occuring.
You see I have popup blocking enabled in Safari and tabbed browsing on all the time. However, lately sometimes when I quit and re-launch Safari those features are disabled but they used to be on by default -- so I shouldn't have to manually turn them on each time I launch the browser.
Another problem -- maybe its the Apple Secuurity Update 2006-003's fault but since installing it in this period after last clean OS X reinstall (last time was a clean reinstall because of disk error) has caused some problems. Before applying it I was able to login to the AIM network -- i.e. AOL Instant Messaging Service easily and quickly via iChat but now iChat's feature to login to AIM is unavailable its not like its giving me the option to login but rejecting my login attempt -- not like I give it my username and password and it has a problem. iChat won't even let me attempt to login now.
As I recall when I first tried installing Apple Security Update 2006-001 it caused Safari to break I had to reinstall OS X to get it back and not apply the update. The iTunes 6.0.2 update which I heard also caused some problems for Windows users prevented me from running Disk Utility on my Mac for some time. It appears as if these Apple Security Updates occasionally are more trouble than their worth. Apple should take the time to test them in advance before rushing them to market or in this case the Internet for download by their customers/users that way they can make sure they are working updates and they don't cause any problems.
But yeah getting back to the point of this thread I seriously don't know what to do about this issue. I want it resolved permanently. Next time I quit iTunes and re-launch it I should not be told the iTunes Music Library file is damaged. Nor should my bookmarks in Safari be deleted automatically. When these things happen by themself it is usually somewhat of a cause for concern.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A VIRUS COULD HAVE GOTTEN ON MY MAC: I never open suspicious files -- I only accept attachments from people I know and I do attempt to update my Mac with newer security updates regularly so long as they don't give me grief -- I use Mac OS X's Internet Firewall software accessible via System Preferences in the Sharing Pane and the router in my home also has a firewall in it (that is a physical hardware based firewall) I have iTunes 6.0.5 now and the latest update of QuickTime 7 which enhances security and stability of the product. I even run anti-virus software and have never found viruses on my Mac -- also with the Mac's layer of security -- most programs require authentication on the user's part like a username and password to install software so spyware cannot slip in undetected -- software can only be installed manually not automatically so nothing could have been installed on my Mac without my knowledge.
THAT IS WHY I don't understand what could be causing the problem. What should I do? If any further information is needed please let me know I will be happy to provide it if a solution can be reached to my problem.

Okay for Safari I found the logs of the most recent crash report I could find and am looking at it to see if it offers any solutions for my problem with Safari -- is kind of long but anyways posting it here to see if anyone has any ideas -- I for one don't know what all of this means but hoping someone else might know a little more than me on how to interpret the following:

Fonts not working

I've searched the forum and i'm stumped.
the problem: switching fonts in pages (v.1.2) does NOTHING>no font changes occur on the page. the words are highlighted and the same documents work fine on my tibook. i've treid reinstalling pages and panther.
ps. all fonts work fine in textedit. i'm totally baffled.
here's some background:
in an effort to stabalize my fiance's pismo, i downgraded from tiger to panther. i've got it up to 10.3.9 and it is stable. mostly, except for the pages issue above. I DID use backup and restore a bunch of pref's and settings. i'm not sure if that might have something to do w/ it.

Try checking your fonts using the "Validate Font" command in Fontbook.
If that doesn' work, you could actually check your fonts using Font Doctor: http://morrisonsoftdesign.com/with_fl/index-7.html
Although this is rather expensive. :-/

URGENT HELP/ADVICE/INSIGHT NEEDED RECOVERING FILES!

Hi, all, I hope someone out there can help me understand what I have done and how to fix it! I have posted this under Tiger, but it is probably a hardware question. I have a G4 Quicksilver which I upgraded with 2 hard drives, master/slave set up. I recently had to reinstall the OS (Panther with upgrade Tiger disc) which went smoothly. I cloned the master drive to the slave drive with CCC but did not want to copy it back identically because I was having some problems with Adobe Updater - I decided to uninstall basic 3rd party software and reinstall fresh. In the process, I forgot that Adobe CS2's application Bridge stores documents in a subfolder in User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge/Collections - so if you uninstall, it apparently eliminates those files. I understand that when you put files in the trash, you can recover if you haven't overwritten files. But what about the Adobe uninstaller? Does it eliminate files in a similar way - just erase? I have also posted to Adobe but have not gotten a response that has helped. Also is there a file recovery software that I can use that is a trial or not very expensive? I need these files for work (reconstruction would be a pain) but have put some money into my computers recently and don't have much of a margin. Thanks! oh JUST TO CLARIFY: The files were on the slave drive and I have not used it except to copy files back to the master.

Thank you - I'll give it a try. I've been making some pretty basic mistakes in backing up, reinstalling recently - I guess too many computers, too many different OS's, etc and being under pressure. I just don't want to make another mistake - so far they have all been correctible. I did not know with Adobe's concern for pirating software if their uninstall app does more than a simple erase - So I guess I would download the app to the master hard drive and recover from there?

Tiger Update Crashes my Mac Mini Intel

I got a new Mac Mini and finally got it going though it was not easy to transfer from my eMac. But I prevailed. Then I made the fatal mistake of updating all that the Software Update software suggested. Now my brand new Mac Mini will not run at all.
REWIND: I tried to update my eMac a couple of weeks ago to Tiger. I did that and ran Software Update and GUESS WHAT? It crashed my eMac so badly I had to reinstall ALL the Panther software.
Did Microsoft buy Apple???

I figured out the problem last night after a week of gnashing, grumping, and general anxiety. Hope this post helps others with a similar problem.
I have a free Lexmark 1150 All-In-One printer attached to my Mac. Apparently Tiger DOES NOT like the Lexmark application that turns off the printer during Restart and Shutdown. The application is in Library/Startupwhatever folder and I just trashed the Lexmarksleep..app (whatever it is named - I'm at work and cannot remember the exact name) and erased it.
Now my Mac Mini is back working like a Mac - PERFECT.

EMac 10.2.8 error during upgrade to 10.3, need help

I have a eMac PowerPC G4 with 10.2.8. Using Mac OS X Panther 10.3 discs (3 discs, Install Disc 1, 2, and 3), I attempted to upgrade. I backed-up everything on my computer and then pop-ed in Panther disc 1. It did its thing and then a prompt asked for me to insert disc 2. I did and installation started okay. Then it stopped and said "There were errors installing the software." It gave me no options but to quit. When I open "About This Mac" it says the computer op system is 10.3.
What to do? Is my computer half installed, trapped in this world and the next? What should my next steps be?
Thank you very very much in advance of any possible help!!!!

I'll suggest two options:
1. Erase the drive and restore your old system from the backup. Before attempting to reinstall OS X Panther do the following:
Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, 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 installer. Now proceed with installing OS X Panther using the Upgrade option or the Archive and Install option.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do the following:
a. Boot from your Panther installer Disc 1. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
b. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
c. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
f. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
g. When the formatting is completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed to do a clean install of OS X.
h. Once you complete the installation download and install the 10.3.9 Combo Updater from Apple.
i. After installing the combo updater you can transfer your personal files from your backup. I would recommend re-installing your third-party software being careful to install only those that are known to be compatible with Panther. Otherwise get upgrades to Panther compatible versions.
I highly recommend the second option because it will provide a clean system from the start without any possible problems associated with upgrading over an older system that could be corrupted.

How to make text bigger?

Once again when you want to do something simple it seams impossible. how can I make the event text bigger in all views? I see the adjustment fro printing the calendar but not for viewing. Thanks for your help
G5 Quad 2.5 Ghz, MacBook Pro 17 Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I do not know why the black frame started appearing on my monitor either.
The first time I noticed the problem was when I wanted to show a friend the iTunes Visualizer in full screen. The images appeared confined to the center of the screen with the black frame around them. Later I realized that changing to smaller resolutions than 2560 x1600 also caused the black frame to appear. At the time I was using 10.4.4. Tried all options in iTunes but nothing helped. Then I tried many things such as repairing permissions, ran onyx, reinstalled iTunes, archive and install Tiger, I even erased and zeroed my hard drive and reinstalled my original Panther disc, still no help.
One thing I was fortunate to have done before I noticed this issue was to have made a clone of my OS which was 10.4.2, this OS worked perfectly when I booted from it. This confirmed it was a software issue and not the hardware. After many calls, Applecare wanted to send me a new hard drive, they had not encountered this problem before. The way I finally solved the problem was to use my 10.4.2 clone and copy this to the affected drive. This happened about two months ago and now everything still works as normal.
If you could get the resolutions to work properly, this would probably be the best way to increase the image sizes. I noticed you have an iMac, is that computer working all right. Try resizing the resolutions on that, she may need to use that computer instead for this week.

IBook shuts down after upgrading from 10.3.3 to 10.3.9

Hi...I tried upgrading an old iBook G3 700 MHz from OS X 10.3.3 to 10.3.9 (combo). Now it won't finish
starting up. I press power, I do hear the chime and get to the point where the first screen with
the simple apple logo shows, but then after 5 seconds it shuts down again. I do hear the disk
going briefly during this time.
I booted with the hardware diagnostics CD that came with the machine, and all tests passed OK
- both the quick tests and the extended tests.
Wanted to just try reinstalling from the Panther CD set that I have, but I've found that I can't
boot from those CDs - does the same thing, shows the apple logo, then shuts down after 5 seconds.
I tried restarting in single user mode, it doesn't seem to get very far - I get the black screen, it
prints about 5 lines of information, then one line saying "Using 983 buffer headers..." and then
it shuts down. Seems like it's not getting far at all into the boot process.
Any thought's on what to try next? Wish I could just reinstall, wiping the slate clean, but even
that doesn't work!
Thanks in advance for any help...
- Bruce

Success! This is so bizarre...
I have two Mac laptops, the iBook 700 MHz that's having the problem, and a newer
PowerBook G4. A few days ago I wanted to recharge the iBook...I've been very diligent
up to this point to use the correct charger with each laptop, the one that each came
with.
I got lazy this last time...plugged the charger for the newer PowerBook into the
older iBook. Then I did the upgrade, and then I shut down the machine. It was after
that that I had problems restarting.
I got suspicious just now and looked at each charger. Thought they would be
interchangeable, but on looking at them the charger for the older iBook says output
is 24v 1.875A, while the one for the PowerBook is 24v 2.65A.
Knowing that there's a PMU (Power Management Unit) in these machines and that it
has settable parameters, I thought, what the heck, plug the correct charger back into
the iBook, just to see what happens. Voila, it started up OK!!!
What the heck ?!?!
I'm pretty well versed in computers (work with Unix and Linux regularly, love the
Mac OS X command line!), just don't understand everything that goes on under the
hood with the Macs these days.
Just to get some final closure on this problem, can anyone explain why doing what
I did resolved the issue? I'd really like to learn from my mistakes.
Thanks to Rhonda and S.U. who responded so quickly for my plea for help!

Loading library, never streams, force quit iTunes

I can sync just fine, I can view movie trailers and YouTube with no glitches but I can't stream after changing sources, I just get the spinning wheel and it says loading my library, it gets stuck there and my iTunes freezes up and I have to force quit. I have only been able to stream once since I got my ATV and that was after a lot of talking with Apple Support. They had me do disk repairs, reinstall my original Panther disc, unmount and remount the ATV in iTunes plus unplugging it and re plugging it into the wall. It quit again after I changed sources and I have given up but I would really like to use my ATV for streaming the rest of everything that is not synced. I just tried setting it up for streaming only and it wouldn't load. I have my library on an external hard drive (usb 2.0) and I can share my iTunes library with my iBook over my airport express just fine. BTW I can stream from my iBook to the ATV. Any suggestions would be great!
G4 iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

That's odd.
One thing it might be worth trying is to power down, turn off the external iTunes libray drive and reboot.
When you start iTunes create a new test iTunes library on your Mac's internal drive and see if it can stream from that.
I have my iTunes library on an external USB drive too and it works well.
I just wonder if there could be a corrupt database file or something in your external library which trips the AppleTV up, but doesn't bother iTunes itself or the iBook for streaming - while one would assume common code for iTunes sharing and AppleTV streaming it may be different. Odd that it lets you sync though.

Keep asking me to restart!!!

Within a year my Ibook has trouble me with exchanged of new Logic Board.
After few months, my touchpad start to not reponding, somehow it ended by itself.
However, since 2 weeks ago, it keep asking me to restart with a grey screen display with few different languages.
Tried hardware test, found no problem, reinstall with original Panther with the it, the problem still on.
Even worst, this morning the whole system is not able to startup, aske me to mac-boot or shut-down. Called to apple support, tried reset-all still the same.
So I sent to Apple centre near by. Problem never resolved.
Anyone has any idea that i can DIY to solve this problem.
My Ibook is back because I requested for..
Help?

Hi, Huplim. Welcome to the Discussions.
1. You wrote: "However, since 2 weeks ago, it keep asking me to restart with a grey screen display with few different languages."If you are seeing this message, that indicates a kernel panic.
If so, see my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics. The FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work systematically through the end, i.e. the "If all else fails..." section.
2. You wrote: "Even worst, this morning the whole system is not able to startup, aske me to mac-boot or shut-down."See "To continue booting, type 'mac-boot' and press return" Message.
3. You wrote: "So I sent to Apple centre near by. Problem never resolved."If the advice above does not sort it out, you need to have the Mac serviced. You may want to speak to the manager of the "Apple centre" to which you took your iBook.
Good luck!

Airport Card / Connection gone

About two weeks ago, both my Powerbook and girlfriend's iBook lost Airport ability. There was no connection to the Airport Express base station, even though the AE had the normal green light.
Clicking the Airport icon in the top menu bar gave the endless spinning beach ball and froze the Powerbook. Same for the iBook. (Note: In 3 1/2 years my PB has frozen maybe three times.) I have hard-shut-down the PB 30-40 times last weekend trying to resolve this Airport issue.
I have reconfigured the AXBS and now just ethernet straight to the PB for the internet. I can't believe it would be a hardware issue - either BOTH cards dying at the same time. The only thing I can imagine is that there was some sort of update that did them both in, but I can't remember what it could be.
We erased the drive and reinstalled Jaguar, then Panther to the iBook but the Airport issue persists there. I can't mess with the PB because I have too much work to do.
Please help. And, Henry B., you and I have discussed a bit of this before and you were a help, but I'm trying here again.
Cheers,
Jason

Please see my post. This is an option that may help. Here it is copied and pasted
To any of those that are having issues with your airport after the update here is a possible solution. Open the Hard Drive (from Finder) Then open "Preferences" then scroll to "SystemConfiguration" drag it to the desktop, and then restart. After that, Open up "System Preferences" from the apple menu. Go to "Network", you then need to make a new location. You can title it anything that you would like to. Hit "Apply Now". Your airport should be up and running, you may need to restart. You can now delete the "SystemConfiguration" folder that you dragged to your desktop, as OSX has now made a new one.
The reason that you need to do this, is that somehow, the "SystemConfiguration" folder and files became corrupt and something in the X.4.3 causes them to be noticed, thus your airport fails to work. Hope it helps some of you.

How can I restore MAIL program in OS X 10.3.9?

My MAIL Program is gone!! Only segment left is listed under Library/Mail/Mailboxes. How can I restore it? Do I reinstall ALL applications that came with my G-4, Mac OSX? Or can I reinstall my updated Panther (OS X 3?) Why isn't there a download for just MAIL for Mac OSX?
If I buy a year membership will that give me Mail?
Right now I use my ISP WebMail, and Eudora. But MAIL is so much better. Any help will be appreciated. THANK YOU.
Bettsy

I just downloaded Pacifist last night.....that program does exactly what you want it to do - extracts individual programs from your OS install discs so that you can reinstall/replace individual applications if need be. It worked like a charm.
