Re: Thunderbird and Firefox Download problem

Hi Rick, Sounds like you have tired to install Intel versions instead of PowerPC versions. Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac. Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. • http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/ For an unoffici

Re: Thunderbird and Firefox Download problem

Hi Rick That means it's only for Intel Machine. You'll want the versions for a G4. So it doesn't meet the system requirements for the machine it's on. Just need to grab the right versions that match the system specs you have. MacUpdate is quite a good site for that, as it will tell you the syste

Hi Peta, Was he running Windows in …Parallels? If so did he quit Safari while in Windows / Parallels an then shut down Windows? Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt" 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X 10.7.3 Lion Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) On 08/02/201

Re: Safari will not allow Mac to turn off

Hi Peta, I found time to read your email again … I was doing too many things at once when I first quickly replied to you :-) You mention they tried to ‘Force Quit’ Safari, but did they try Force Quit from the Apple Menu? Try "force quit" from under the Apple menu (Apple icon) If that doesn't

Re: Safari will not allow Mac to turn off

-- Another great tip, Ronni, to use Activity Monitor for a force quit. I was able to use it to get of an unwanted application (Nokia Multimedia) which wasn't a real problem, but didn't work David / Feb 8 == On 8 February 2012 11:11, Ronda Brown wrote: > Hi Peta, > > I found time to read

Ronni - just to let you know - this particular email from you came through to my Mac three times at 10:34, 10:45 and 10:37. Peta On 08/02/2012, at 10:34 AM, Ronda Brown wrote: > Hi Peta, > > Was he running Windows in …Parallels? > If so did he quit Safari while in Windows / Parallels an then

Shift Key Problems

Hi List, I am running 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro. My system has started behaving oddly. When I am typing in a word processing document and use the shift key with either an “i" or an “r" I get unexpected (and unwanted) behaviour. In the case of “i" the machine brings the finder up as the frontmost a

Re: Safari will not allow Mac to turn off

Hullo Ronni Thank you for your reply. I am not too sure, but I don't think they have Parallels, although of course their window package is quite new (about 12 months). They will all be gone from home now until about 4:30, so I will phone and ask them your other questions later today. Yes, I a

Hi Peta, Wow, you are a lucky little vegemite … not ;-) Yes, iCloud was having some issues I think, it was doing some weird housekeeping when I was trying to send the email ;-) Seems to be working properly again now. Cheers, Ronni On 08/02/2012, at 12:19 PM, peta wrote: > Ronni - just to let

Re: Shift Key Problems

Hi Ronni, Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately, that's not the answer - sticky keys is definitely switched off. Since my last post, I have also noticed that “shift-double quote" also appears to cause a problem, it wants to open up a locked AppleWorks document. This is all very puzzling

Re: Shift Key Problems

Hi, Not sure if this has any relation, but I purchased a new keyboard last week and now find that when I turn the sound volume up or down on the keyboard, all I get is shifting to the side of whatever is opened on my desktop. I was thinking about returning it, but possibly there may be a

Hi Bill, I haven’t forgotten about you, I’m busy with Clients work today and only jump back to WAMUG when I’m able to. This is weird… has it only happened after you installed something, or an update? Have you tried in another User Account to see if it is only related to your User Account? Is

Hi Jewels, Are you in Lion or Snow Leopard? The volume keys (& all the top keys) are Function keys. Check in System Preferences > Keyboard to see what F12 is set to do. Cheers, Ronni On 08/02/2012, at 1:30 PM, Julie Bedford wrote: > Hi, > > Not sure if this has any relation, but I purchased a
