The keychain is Apple's mechanism for storing passwords securely. You can manage what is and isn't stored by using the program Keychain Access in Applications Utilities. The password it's asking for is most likely the one you need to use to log in to the computer or update software. If you don't know what that is, boot off of the system CD that I hope your niece gave you, and select Change Passwords from the Installer menu. You can change the administrative password, which is what it's asking for. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.

Re: Removing Classic OS 9 Support From OS X

More eMac Problems
Hi. I posted a few weeks ago about a text panic on my little boys eMac. Well it hasn't been the same since. Random lock ups when starting or using Safari and numerous Kernel Panics. I ran Disk Utility and the boot drive had an error when I ran the Verify Disc option. Something about BitMap Error. I repaired it and it was succesful and presumed everything was ok. A few days later the problem came back, so I repaired it once again, but the problem is back again. System is: eMac 1.25Ghz, 1GB RAM, 80GB hard drive (which I fitted a few months ago), running 10.4.11. Is the hard drive shot? Is it worse than that?

Simon If you have valuable data on this machine, back it up if you have not already. I'd try making a new account and seeing if there is still problems. If still the problems persist, I'd suggest reinstalling. That method works the best IMO. If you still have the problems after reinstalling, then either the disc used to install the OS is damaged, or the hard Drive is shot. Also, the RAM could be bad too. Try re-seating the RAM, or replacing any recently added modules. if the problems stop after you change the RAM, then the RAM was faulty. Also, you may have leaking capacitors. This is a common problem with the eMac. to test for this, open the emac memory access slot, and with a flashlight, look for brown or orange gunk. If you see that, then that would most likely be the problem. If you have AppleJack installed, you can use that to test the memory, hard drive, etc. Good luck! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
