Step #1:  Shut down the Mac -- or just wait a few minutes and it will do it by itself (you don't have to waste your time actually saving anything first, it will just shut down all by itself.)  If you want to hurry the shut-down process, start working on something important.\n\nStep #2:  Throw a heavy, blunt object at the Mac ... ensure you disconnect it from the power supply (outlet) -- much like Mac's do from the internet.\n\nStep #3:  Buy a live Chicken.  Sacrafice it in front of a Window in your home as a symbolic gesture to the one true and omnipotent OS.\n\nStep #4:  Visit a friend's a house who ownes a PC ... they usually work ... buy a PC on-line.  You will probably need a friend with a PC to help you since it's been so long since you've actually seen anything but cached pages ... this isn't the 80's anymore, we have much shorter hair now.\n\nStep #5:  Throw out the bong (in case you haven't heard, they test for that stuff now)\n\nStep #6:  Upgrade from Ms. Pacman to Doom III when your new PC arrives.\n\nStep #7:  Take a week off ... the culture shock will be a little much to deal with ... things happen so quickly in the real world these days.\n\nJust Kidding ... it's all in fun ... Please don't take offense ... just a friendly rivalry !    ;-)

Reinstall the OS from scratch. Delete the partition that is there, make a new partition and install the OS.\n\nI can't remeber is the Mac has a defrag function, but do that after you install the OS, just as a paranoid step.

Why, do you have a problem you need fixed? You might try joining discussions.apple.com and listing your problem under the appropriate category. The people there are generally pretty knowledgable and helpful. You might do a search to see if your question has already been asked too. Chances are you're not the only one who's had that problem before, and the solution may already be posted.\n\nIf you're looking to start a club or just chat with other mac enthusiasts in your community, try this link:\n\nhttp://www.apple.com/usergroups/find/\n\nThat's probably your best bet!

First question: are you on a network with other Macs? Get the tech who sets up the network to go through the set up and check all the permissions,etc. You won't have the administrative permissions to reset stuff. It might not be your fault at all and he/she can fix it as "Root." \nSecond point: You might not have enough RAM to run System10 and the applications. Getting more RAM would be a good thing to check on... check the Apple icon at the top of the screen and select "About this Mac" you should have more than 512K memory, lots more... like a gig of ram at least if you are running hefty programs like Adobe Photoshop or anything that deals with video or 3D.\nGrasping at straws #3: I had an issue once where the computer was recalibrating itself every 15 minutes. Wrong setting. No matter what I was doing, the machine crashed... made me crazy. A tech friend had heard of the problem, went in to the system folder and fixed it in two seconds. That was an older OS, but it could be something similar where a discreet function is seizing precedent.\nApple.com is a good place to check for faq and ongoing issues. I've used Mac for almost 20 years and have so little trouble with them it's noteworthy when I encounter a difficulty, especially now.

That happens in my Mac too, I have to answer in a PC

Hi there...you'll need to reinstall your system software.  This sounds like a system software corruption.  Insert your iBook G3's original software disc and at startup hold down the "C" key.  \n\nFor detailed instructions to reinstall OS X:\nhttp://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=151641\n\nFor further Mac questions consider visiting and joining the free Apple Discussion forum: http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  Many Mac users here are able to help answer questions with the ability to walk you through each steps if necessary as well.

I'd recomend you invest a couple hundred more and get an iBook, by Mac. They're about the best there is and SO inexpensive considering what you get. \nwww.mac.com

Since your Mac is a Powerbook G4, it is probably using the PowerPC G4 and not the Intel Chips. The G4 and Power indicates that your notebook does not have the Intel chips.

I regret to say that you will not get there full explanation: the subject is not so simple.\nWhat do you intend to get from your computer? If - toying, mailing, browsing, XP will be enough for you. Note that last MAC operating systems are BSD-UNIX-based: they are professional OS'es. You can get with them everything you want -- but you will also learn a lot of (very interesting!) things...

My answer would be simple if it was a PC..  I would love to learn more about MAC's and how to use them.\n\nSad for a guy who programs for a living.    I have ONLY had to deal with PC type machines.  Well, besides main and mini frames back long ago.

If you're copying to your hard drive, then it might be going bad.  You should probably run a chkdsk on it.

Assuming you're using a PC, because I know almost nothing about Macs....\n\nSome things that will help your system run better in general, but can also potentially free up hard drive space: Regularly run anti-virus and anti-malware scans. Regularly defrag.  Regularly clean out your temporary internet files (cache, cookies, etc).\n\nOther things you can do:  Delete old programs and files that you don't need anymore. Files that you need or want to hang on to but aren't critical should be backed up somewhere off-drive - like on zip discs, cds, etc.  When you install new programs, install them with the minimal option if you're given one.  Alternatively, you can choose the expert installation, and then you can choose not to install components that you won't need.\n\nIn a pinch, you can use the good ol' three-fingered salute to call up task manager and end non-essential programs running in the background.  I strongly suggest that before you end any program in your process tree, that you look it up on the internet just to double check that you won't be making your system unstable by killing a process.\n\nAnd of course, don't forget the "well duh" - don't run so many programs at once, if you know you don't have enough memory for them.\n\nProbably, you will eventually have to buy more memory - either in the form of chips or in the form of hard drive space or both.
