Well, as I mentioned I have pretty-much identical hardware to you, and my PowerBook G4 Aluminum 1 GHz ran faster under Tiger than it did under Panther. Trevor

G4 not starting up under 10.4.11

Simple solution is to buy another HD for the G4, install OS10.4 on it and leave it there. Hard Drives are the cheapest they have ever been. Leave the other in the G3. Why you keep changing the HD between two computers is completely beyond me. ????? Stewie

The thing is the hard drive in question is back in the G3 which I am using right now and have been since this has all taken place with no problem. I ran FSCK when I put it back in and it zipped right thru it. No problems found.

trevor OK and it may be that Tiger is just more OS than Panther and is slower because of it. It actually ran quicker once I ran the Annihilator programs. They were the pre-memory adjustments.

Should have looked up the tech specs before that last post. You're right, Delta Mac, the iMac is LCD, so it looks as if the sales manager at the Apple shop doesn't know what he's selling. Not that I asked about this beforehand, as I didn't know I had a LCD problem. I have had the Book for a year, but I never used it all day -- took it on holiday, worked a couple of hours then climbed a mountain or something. And the iMac...

So I just replaced my MacBook's 60GB HD w/ a 250GB HD. Installed Leopard, migrated everything, worked fine for about a week. Then I was using my Mac to install Ubuntu on a flash drive over the weekend for another laptop, and all of a sudden I cannot boot from my internal HD. I can boot from my old HD (which is now in an external enclosure) and I can see the contents of my internal HD. S.M.A....

Hello, I am setting up a client to print to a shared printer on a Windows 2003 Server. The setup works and the client can print except for the fact that around 10-15 copies of a page are printed for even a single page. The client, of course, just prints one page. Is there a particular reason for this and how can I change this? Thank you for your time. Regards, Chris K.

I turned off my Mac OSZ Tiger one day and now when I try to turn it on it just shows the grey apple screen then gets realy loud and turns off. It use to get to a blank blue screen and then stay like that for hours so I'd turn it off and try again. I put the disk it came with in and tried to do CTRL + C to reset it so it was in factory condition but nothing happens. What should I do?
