What's physically different in the way OS9 and OSX displays?

I used to have an iMac G4 (at work, in the USA) delivered with OS9 and OSX. Looking at the display under OSX made me tired and nervous, whereas using it under OS9 did not! No joke. (I find OSX a very good system and have no psychological bareer; it must be something physically different. What is it?)
Now I'm using a newer iMac delivered with OSX only and am suffering. I do not have that problem when looking at the LCD screen of another DELL PC at work or at a Thinkpad. However, with CRT-monitors I can easily distinguish if it runs at 72 Hz (=torture) or 85 Hz (O.K.).
If anyone could at least explain me the phenomenon with the iMac LCD, I'd be grateful...

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You may just need to calibrate your display's color
profile. Apple menu -> System Preferences ->
Displays.
This helps a bit but does not seem to solve the basic problem. Too bad I can't run OS9 on the same machine and adjust the color profiles under both systems so it looks similar, and then compare how it feels to work with both systems...

Why is it that when I am trying to install an adobe product, I get 33% of the way through and then it gives me an error "unable to load metafile"?? It happened with Reader and now with Flashplayer. With the Reader, I was able to find a different install

Why is it that when I am trying to install an adobe product, I get 33% of the way through and then it gives me an error "unable to load metafile"?? It happened with Reader and now with Flash player. With the Reader, I was able to find a different installation link using the troubleshooting guide. I cannot find the same with flash player. Please tell me how to install Flash player because there is a website that I cannot even view without it. BTW That is annoying that I cannot even see the website without flash player
my system is XP

Use these installers:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player for Mac OS X
For Adobe Reader go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

To download/install an app directly to the iPod you need available storage equal to about three times the file download size. Syncing the app to the iPod requires a lot less. Thus you either have to free up more storage or sync the app from your computer.

What can I expect in the way of reception if my base station is in the house and the computer is in another building (2 exterior walls, 30-40 ft distance)??

What can I expect in the way of reception if my base station is in the house and the computer is in another building (2 exterior walls, 30-40 ft distance)??

Depends on things like the building structure and overall building makeup inside and between these walls. It will probably be fine, but there is only one way to find out for certain.

Re: What is the different between the NB550D-109 and the NB550D-10G?

Hello Guys . I need some help about the NB550D. What is the different between the NB550D-109 and the NB550D-10G?? Is just the colour?

I've checked local and internet shops - strange thing - now, a month after they've started to sell NB550D, in my country (Poland) you can buy only 10J model (with C30) - only green! But the price changed from 1299 to 1199 :)
And 10G model (blue with C50) disappeared - sold out!!!???

My white macbook screen only works shortly when booting and when adjusting the brightness (turning it all the way down and up from there) and only stays on for seconds. any idea what to do?

Hi. I'm having quite an issue here. My macbook screen is only lid when i boot and when i adjust the brightness of the screen (going all the way down and up from there). either way it goes black again after a few seconds. External monitor works though.
Any ideas on how to solve this?

I buy the dirty theory as well. plug and unplug a whole bunch of times - you may be able to dislodge whatever is causing the issue. Also - make sure the plug is fully seated - (some of the pad jacks are vert tight, and you really have to work them in). I gather you are out of warrenty? Blow in the hole.
last resotr - take a toothpick, dip the end in fingernail polish, get rid of the xs, then very very gently, insert the pick and try to rub the contacts. very gently as you do not want to bend them.

I download the new flash player and it goes all the way through and says finish but it does nothing

I go to Adode's website and download the new flash player because I can't watch clips all the sudden and I go all the way through the download and click finish. But when I go to say youtube it says I need a newer flash player. It's a never ending thing, no matter what I do it's the same over and over. Please help

It seems to be a browser specific issue. Try a different browser like chrome or firefox, it should work.
For fixing IE or Safari, lets follow below suggestions :
Run the Flash Player Uninstaller as applicable for your machine(i.e.Windows or MAC) and remove flash player.
For MAC : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
For Windows : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
Restart the machine.
Download and Re-install Flash Player.
Restart the browser and check.

Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from her old compouter to /Music/ in her account on this new computer.

Was on a website when I got a message asking what I wanted to open the application with and I told it Firefox and now it won't open at all.

You should never select Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an open with dialog.
Firefox wouldn't ask this if it can handle the file.<br />
You will have to remove that action in Tools > Options > Applications

Hey robr72339266,
With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.

Can't use Glympse the way android and ios can use

I'm on Z10STL100-1/10.2.1.1925 bbm 10.3.3.68. Can't send my location the way android and ios can. When an android or ios user sends me glimpse message I can open it in bbm. But when I send a Glympse message to android or ios then they get a link to glympse.com. Please help.

I bounced a BBM off an iOS contact of mine and it asked if he wanted to follow my location on a map. As far as I can remember, my wife (who has a Z10) had to also click on that message to make my location viewable on a map. I don't see any difference between the two. With neither one are you able to instantly see the sender's location without clicking to open a map.
I'm only going by memory with my wife's Z10 so I might be missing something but I think it works similarly with all platforms.
Cheers.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks only from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If you don't see them straight away it may help to restart iTunes. While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
