Oh. Yes it will.
The current Onyx version, 2.2.4 should work for you. Check your version. Remove all of the one you have and install the current one, again.
Mac Cleanse appears to be a good paid cleaner.
Version: MacCleanse 2.1.2 15 day free trial period Check CNET, etcetera, for others.

"Great clean up program"

by aocsgil on February 6, 2011

Pros: cleans trash, history, unwanted languages, download files etc.

Cons: Be careful what you select to be cleaned....READ Instructions carefully and you should have no problem.

Summary: Very effective in cleaning.....As per advertised.

Yes, but you have to install over your existing OS with your original disk(s). Say you have a 10.6.3 or 10.6.0 disk. You install that and there is a page on Apple's site for you to then download 10.6.5. Do all updates except the one that would update you to 10.6.6. In other words, after reinstalling and installing the 10.6.5 combo update, then run Software update from the Apple logo in the upper left corner of Desktop. Make sure you uncheck the 10.6.6 option and update whatever else you want. Then check the update again, unchecking the 10.6.6 update.
Can't recall where the page is on their site. Here it is.

Good luck!

From a slightly thorough look around, the answer is no. You can put them in G4 towers.
Panasonic made one for laptops, but it's been discontinued.

Doesn't get much easier than this. Pimp My Camino will let you personalize it, but I just find all that a bunch of clutter possibly leading to problems that you have to delete things until you find out what's causing the problem.
Maybe you Do need to do an Erase and Install, looking at all the problems you're having. Like the new one of no sound from your headphone port and your mention of clicking on links and not getting where you want to be.
I got some advice from a cpu and software 'senior advisor' at Apple Care, that had been a Windows user longer than I had been before switching to Apple. The less third party stuff, especially maintenance and cleaning utilities one puts on a Mac is better. Nothing like Windows that seems to be more geek friendly than user friendly, though the ignorant masses use Windows, and call me to fix their machines. I have to agree with him as my only local Mac friend has never used 3rd party utilities and has had no problems, unlike me who has tried many and had many problems.

I've never had that problem with Onyx. Not sure why you are experiencing it. That company's program, Deeper, causes problems, so I dumped it.
I'd say update, but I think you're on 10.6.6. That may be an issue with Onyx. I didn't like 10.6.6 for application compatibility reasons so I went back to 10.6.5 and all is well again. I'll wait for 7-Lion and wait for about 6 months for Apple to work out the bugs.

Netshred X looks like what you want. Mireth has been around for a long time. I've never used any of their products, so I can't vouch for them.
Not sure why you want so much security in these areas, but with the government looking to invade anyway they can, it's probably a good idea these days. One wrong word can get them to start looking at you and from there, who knows what can happen? Whether guilty of something or completely innocent conversations and browsing of current events etcetera.
I should probably change my user name on here.

Other than the methods you mentioned, Onyx can take care of that.

It will delete caches, temporary items and more.
And it's free.

Good luck.

royng,
Hello again from your other post on DOS.

I use Camino the most. Using it right now. It uses the same engine as Firefox, but is like a stripped down version of Firefox. Both Safari and Firefox use way too much memory for my tastes.
Opera is my second choice and use it often. I only use Safari and Firefox if I'm having trouble viewing certain sites that are overloaded with Flash and Java.
Tried Flock years ago and wasn't impressed enough to keep it.
Chrome has so many vulnerabilities posted often on Secunia's site, that I just don't even want to try it.

Good luck.

royng,
Sorry I didn't reply yet. I don't check my Yahoo mail often enough and just found all my DaniWeb emails in my Junk folder.

For what it's worth, the only firewall I'd trust is Apple's built in firewall.
I don't even use it as I've seen no need to do so.

Net Barrier X and Lil Snitch are the only ones on that site that I've heard of and read about. I have Lil Snitch on my Macbook but it can be very annoying watching all the activity and having to close it's window all the time. I'm sure there are settings for it somewhere, but as little as I use that machine, I just haven't checked into it further. It does what it says, and I don't recall reading anything bad about it.

I'd suggest trying Apple's firewall. If your Mac doesn't want to open something, there's usually a good reason. And if zipeg or the unarchiver can't open them, I wouldn't want to. Just do a search for those and you will find them.

I looked at a few others that I've never heard of on that site and many, if not most are old and meant for PPC Macs, not Intel Macs like you have. That's probably the reason they won't open.

Just my opinion. If you use facebook and don't have all your security and privacy settings at the hilt, Lil Snitch will drive you nuts from all …

Welcome Roy,

Never heard of a DOS mode on a Mac either. Maybe with Windows installed? Totally ignorant of that realm.
You can use Zipeg, Stuffit Expander and The Unarchiver for free. Those are just the ones I'm aware of.
If the zipped files are Mac compatible, any one of these should open them.

I purchased a 32GB storage disk + reader. When I plug it into my USB port a message says that it is not readable by this computer. When I choose the initialize button Disk Utility opens but there is no initializing option. I have a Mac OS X version 10.4.11 PowerPC running Tiger.I purchased a 32GB storage disk + reader.

Seems the easiest way to get help on this would be to contact the manufacturer.
Without more knowledge of the product (make,model,compatibility) it makes it hard to come to definitive answers.
Sorry I couldn't help more. Someone on here probably has had experience with them.

Alright, trying this again. Daniweb forgot I was logged in and I lost what I wrote. Or it timed out.

Your OS X version and Mail version would help.

I had that issue before but don't recall the solution.
I do recall not sending and it's solution. Port 25 in Advanced in the Mail account settings.
Yours is probably in the settings in Mail. Apple Care (specialist) figured that one out for me long ago in a different Mail version for me.

This is the only thing I could find in a quick search. Hope it helps.

"Okay, it's working now and here's what changed. Hope it sheds some light for you. Go to the Mailbox menu and check the Get New Mail option and see if the mailboxes listed are grayed out. Mine were and as a result, every time I hit the Get Mail button it did nothing. This meant somethign was wrong somewhere in the settings.I checked all the obvious settings and verified they were right but decided to call my administrator anyway and make sure the Port info was right in the email account settings. It was different than what I had previously. I got the new info, then went to Preferences/Accounts/Advanced and updated the "Port" info based …

Spotlight works great for quick searches, but I don't think that spotlight is what you are looking for. Try search (apple f). This utility will allow you to create any search criteria and either save it to your finder window or place it in a folder so your finder window does not get too cluttered.

I have to agree about Spotlight. It rarely finds what I'm looking for.
If the above doesn't help enough, Easyfind is an excellent finder application that I've used for years. In fact I just updated my version after many years of satisfactory usage.

Yes assuming you meet all the system requirements.

You're quite welcome.

Just get a 50 foot cable and you should be set.

Post how it worked for you, if you would?
Then you can mark it solved.

I have an Emac and older Imac 9.2 which has 6gig available on its hard drive.
How do I go about using this older Imac as back-up storage for the Emac if at all possible so that I increased memory on the Emac.
Please keep it simple ... I am not too tech minded !
Tony

Hello Tony,
I just checked to see if your iMac has firewire ports. It does.
Some things I've read say this is difficult with early iMacs, but I don't see why after further research.

This article will guide you through the process. One thing I read (elsewhere) is that you may want to leave the target machine (iMac) on 24/7.
I did this with a dying eMac to transfer files to my Mac Mini. It was difficult for me, as the eMac didn't want to stay on and the screen would go black (part of it's dying process).

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661

You just need a spare firewire cable.
Hope this helps and good luck.

eMac 700 MHz 1GB RAM 10.3.8
eMac 1GHz 1GB RAM 10.3.9 still dying.

Thanks for responding, Dan. I just found the answer to my problem in another forum: ctrl-click on the file, and then select "Download Linked File." Boy, the time I spent trying to figure that one out. :o

I know what you mean by "all the fixes"; that's why I decided to buy one of the iMacs with the Power PC chip before they get discontinued. There was no way I wanted to be a beta tester for the new Intel iMacs. Now that I have my G5, I wish I'd bought one sooner; I love it.

All the best, Don

No problem. I saw a few that had no replies. Doesn't seem very friendly, Even if you don't know the answer.
Well, I'm glad you found the remedy and that was a great idea on the Power PC iMac. Someday I'll have something like that. But the eMacs keep doing what I need.

What forum was that? Nobody here, except me, replied to my issue of a "dead" spot on my older eMac's CRT screen. The thing is out of it's extended warranty by 3 months and I thought it fixed itself, but the dead spot goblin is back. Can't do anything in about a 2" square area of the screen.
So I'd like to know the forum you used. I'll try a few others myself.

Take care and enjoy the new machine!

Hi, I just got a new iMac G5 with OS X Tiger, and I am unable to download MP3 sound files. When I try, QuickTime Player automatically opens and begins to play them, but I am unable to download them. These are information files, not music files. On my old iMac with OS 9, I could simply click on the URL (e.g. domain.com/filename.mp3) and it would download onto my hard drive and play on iTunes. I'd appreciate any suggestions; there must be something I'm missing.

Regards,

Don

Sorry Don,
I don't know iMacs or Tiger (except I'm waiting until they quit with all the fixes before I buy it. That may be when the next OS arrives.)
Maybe somebody has an idea here or another forum.
Good luck!
Dan
