WiFi dies under Classic

2004-07-09 Thread Charlie Meyerson

Thanks, Jan. I followed your advice, and Disk Utility did indeed find -- and repair -- some permissions problems with Safari files/paths. But even after subsequent multiple restarts, the symptoms remain unchanged. (In previous unsuccessful attempts to fix these glitches, for what it's worth, I've

Safari runs fine when I log in as root user (under Panther) on my iBook SE. But when I log in as another user, Safari boots up with an error message about a "problem saving bookmarks," and, in fact, Safari under that log-in name does not accept, save or retain bookmarks, etc. Also, Safari consiste

Just a wild hunch, but it might be worth a try: I was surprised when upgrading to Panther that I wound up with two versions of Safari on my machine. Is it possible that (if you're launching from an old icon in the dock, for instance) you're still using the older version of Safari? Stay tuned for

iBook peeling

The rubberlike coating on my Graphite iBook SE (clamshell style) has begun to peel away from the plastic shell. Just one spot (between the phone and the Ethernet jacks). My guess is a little dab o' glue will do the trick, but I wonder whether anyone has any experience -- and any recommendation of

Forgive me if others have posed this question, but my clamshell iBook Graphite (SE) has taken to suddenly shutting down when it's on battery power -- without the standards warning about saving work, etc. Needless to say, this causes the loss of all unsaved work and forces a long reboot period. Ru

Except: OS 10.1(.x) remains (to my mind) a sluggish, incomplete and not-quite-ready-for-prime-time system, and those of us who adopted it early deserve *some* price break for suffering through its early inadequacies, I think. Certainly would be appropriate (and not just kindhearted) for Apple to
