[QUOTE="jenniferg, post: 321360, member: 26897"] [b]More Information[/b] Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, rebooting is not the ticket--I have actually had this problem for months, but just found this forum. The problem is not intermittent, in that it doesn’t start working, stop for a while, and work again. (Exception: I did have a friend try and fix it a while back; it worked a few times, but then regressed. I could ask him what he did to fix it, if that might help.) The Mac is a tower G4 2.6 450 MHZ Power PC with 1 GB of memory. I am running OS X version 10.3.9 I have the problem with every application. The installed applications are immediately apparant are Safari, itunes, Acrobat 5.0; Adobe Photoshop; Indesign SC, ical, Realone player, Excel, imoviealias, Word, Text Edit, Sticky, Quicktime Player, ichat, Extension Suitcase, Toast6titanium, Disc Utility, Microsoft Entourage, Sherlock, Script Editor and Bluetooth file exchange, I checked for updates, and the most recent ones I found were to ipod in July 2006, itunes in September 2006, odbc administrator, Script Editor and Terminal in October 2006, and to Quicktime Player in November 2006. There was also an update to Appleport in November 2006. Another potentially significant event was the installation of an Airport Card for connecting to cable internet (Wowway) with firewire. Thanks for your help. Please let me know if there is any other information that might help. JDW [/QUOTE]
