I tried it with PSE 6.0 and it was a no go.

Is Rick on vacation? Over a month since the last update.

Glad you got it cleared up. Most log in issues are caused by changes initiated on the server end.

I don't know of any. USB 1.1 is probably too slow for streaming video anyway and your iMac only has USB 1.1.

Hi,

My G5 iSight iMac is going in for repairs soon & I'll have to fire up my old Indigo CRT iMac while its away. Its fairly pre-historic but will do for the short term. I've grown used to having the iSight camera & my old iMac doesn't have one. I believe this Mac only has USB1 & not USB2 (although I don't know how to tell) & most of the webcams on Amazon are only USB2. Does anyone know if there are any good (but inexpensive) webcams out there that would be compatible with my old iMac?

Many thanks

I called my server, Atlink about this. The next day they called me back by phone. They said Gmail had made some changes and to hold the phone. In about a minute, he said, "Try it now."

I logged on to Gmail successfully, for the first time in 10 days. He said Google had made some changes and sent them a service bulletin relating to changes that should be made. That was about 10 days ago and it has been working flawlessly since then.

Hiya, just tuning in. Did I miss a meeting?

Rick, I had the MacMerc tutorials bookmarked for the longest time, and it appears that they have been taken down. I was wondering, will the Comic Art Action work in PS Elements 2? That's what I have. (bought an old transferable copy on eBay for my 10.3.9 PB)

I have a Mac problem I cannot solve. On or about the 14th of April, I was unable to log in to My Google sites; several Gmail accounts and my Google calendar. I could log in on any other site I tried, just not Google's. Two days later, after trying many times, I was able to log in. After two or three days, I had to shut down my computer. When I tried to log back into Gmail, I could not.

I have tried about everything I know without success. I normally use Camino browser, but have been trying Firefox, Safari, and an old Internet Express, but get the same results: The log in page comes up; I put in my ID and password; the computer just cannot get me logged on.

Here is all my information:

600 MHz PowerPC G3
768 MB SDRAM
OS X 10.3.9
Camino browser 1.6.7

My provider is Atlink Wifi from a tower 1.5 miles away. (normally very good service) to a rooftop antenna n my house.

A bandwidth meter at : www.vidiacom.com/bandwidthmeter/
says current bandwidth is 1.69Mbps or 1730.3kbps.

Same results at: www.freespeedtest.com/

The Atlink connection goes to a Netgear router and then by wire to my Mac. My grandkids have two PC's in the house connected wireless through the Netgear router. I can log onto Gmail on either one of them with no problem; just not able to get on Gmail with my Mac.

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Odd behavior, when I view an article with comments like the new one "Controls on Apple's 3rd-Gen-iPod-Shuffle-style..." the page loads with the Comments directly below the article but then it reloads & the Comments are just - gone.

Firefox 3.08, I'll try Safari & see if it happens also.

Edit to add:
Yeah, same thing in Safari. It's odd, the url at first is short but when it reloads it's freaking HUGE. See:
