Re: Removing obsolete apps
Hi, I'm not 100% sure what you mean by "safely" remove apps. In general you can just drag them to the trash and poof they are gone. If you want to make sure that 100% of the associated files go with them then you can use an app deletion tool such as appzapper or something similar. Here is a good breakdown of those kinds of apps for you. http://lifehacker.com/5828738/the-best-app-uninstaller-for-mac On Thu, Apr 21, 2016 at 6:09 AM, Jörg Duurkoop wrote: > Hi, > How can I safely remove "broken" apps? > I'm running Tiger using TenFourFox. > But more and more apps like Dropbox or Skype aren't supported anymore. > Thanks for your help. > Jörg from the Netherlands. > > -- > -- > You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for > those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power > Macs. > The list FAQ is at http://lowendmac.com/lists/g-list.shtml and our > netiquette guide is at http://www.lowendmac.com/lists/netiquette.shtml > To post to this group, send email to g3-5-list@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/g3-5-list > > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "G-Group" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to g3-5-list+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Changing video files from .flv to .mov
I just purchased the latest version of Quicktime Pro and it does a beautiful job of converting files. I use it all the time.

Re: iMac G5 Crashing
Funny you should mention leopard as I am running 10.5.6 there. I don't have a tiger disk handy to try but I'm not sure if thats it I had a devil of a time installing from the Leopard disk it kept crashing at the very end so would that be a leopard issue even? I am just not sure if its running leopard enough to blame at that point.

Re: iMac G5 Crashing
I have tried resetting Pram, PMU, ETC pretty much all options I did manage to get a system.log file off of the computer but I don't even have a clue which part of it to post on here. It is all quite long. I am not sure it is a software issue I am beginning to lean towards motherboard but I would like to confirm it.

Re: Beige G3 problems
Put the old memory back in and see if that fixes the problem. Also are you sure you used the right kind of memory you keep calling them simms but Beige G3's use PC66 Dimms quite different from simms really.

Re: Beige G3 problems
P.S. More specifically PC66 168pin SDRAM memory. Although most machines I have used tend to run fine with PC100 as well.

Re: Beige G3 problems
Also sometimes just cleaning all the dirt out is helps things work if its as dirty as you say. Best way to clean that stuff off is to remove the motherboard and scrub it with as high of percent rubbing alcohol as you can get 90% or better would be best.
