Screen flicker

2011-12-09 Thread Merv Bond
My wife's well used iBook G4 has developed a flickering screen. A search of the net reveals that the reed switch was a common failure on this model. Has anyone had this problem and if so, were they able to achieve a successful resolution? Merv -- The whole psychology of modern disquiet is

I've had a little app which boots up on start up for about a year on SWMBO's Macbook (White plastic one with Snow leopard). It's been very reliable and informative. It is a Mac OSX app I grabbed off the Weatherzone website way back then. Just today it bounces on the dock on startup and then

Hi Peter, When you say it is a widget do you mean that it resided in Dashboard? Or alternatively did it used to show up in the Menu Bar at the top of the screen, as an icon on the Dock, or as a fixed display area on your Desktop? Or finally, was it a full fledged window that you could drag

Hi Carlo, it is an icon which sit is the dock at bottom of screen. When selected, the menu bar shows Weather tracker as main menu bar. I am happy to write it off and pick up something that someone recommends as a good desktop weather app. I was unable to locate a plist file reflecting the

If you want to work on WeatherZone, there is every chance that you will be able to rehabilitate it because you still have the app file. If you can move the window around, there should be a preferences file somewhere to record the starting location of the window. You could also try

Like Carlo I use everyday Pocket Weather AU HD for iPad. The Radar is very handy as well. And on my MBP I use the standard weather widget in Dashboard. I have quite a few cities I watch weather. http://shiftyjelly.com.au/products/pocket-weather-au-hd Sent from Ronni's iPad On 10/12/2011, at

Hi Alastair, You seem to be avoiding my questions on backup which I've asked in replies to your original problems... “Do you have a Bootable Backup” or a Backup system in place? I personally would prefer to do a clean “Erase Install” of Tiger. But as you have another partition on the drive,

Hi Peter, In my current version of GC (X 261) The only batch conversion I can find is Modify and Convert. In previous version there was a clumsy but workable function that enabled me to change the size, sharpen, adjust colours etc by selecting these functions, but I can't see that in this

Hi Ronnie, YES! That worked. I duplicated a few of them and followed your instructions and this time it worked. It is about folders. The problem may have been that I had the photos in sub-folders in a main folder and even though I navigated into the sub-folder it was not being recognised. I
