crashes consistently when viewing weather.com. 2) Safari will stall for long
periods of time when loading just about any page. Arstechnica, Wired,
Slashdot,Macslash,Think Secret to name a few.
The stalling thing is like what was happening back in the 10.2.x days.

Other stations take a long time to resolve the address but the is the only station I hear that won't.
under Mac OS X 10.4.1.
FCE freezes when running some of the edited timeline footage in the display
window (application not responding). Happens at the same place in the
timeline everytime. I have left it for several hours to see if it resolves itself
but always have to resort to force quit.
FCE crashes when working with Compressor to export mpeg-2 files. Random
- sometimes works OK.
DVD Studio Pro crashes (error report to Apple) when importing mpeg-2
assets. Happens most of the time but occassionally gets through OK.
All these apps worked fine under 10.3.9.
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems? Could it be something to do
with Quicktime? (I do have the latest versions of the apps and QT). Any
suggestions on what to try? Or do I wait for a patch from Apple?

and to "Preserve user and Network" I went through this before and the 'Mother
Board' had to be replaced on the G-5! "There is no fix" I was told... I had all the
problems and they knew exactly what the problem was and how to fix it go back
to 10.4!
What were the specific problems you contacted AppleCare about, please? (Were
they the Final Cut problems mentioned in the post before yours, or somethng
different?)
Thanks.
manually save them. Has anyone else had this glitch?

- Since installing Tiger, I have had problems printing to an Epson printer that is shared on a Windows XP machine. I can go into the CUPS administration http://localhost:631/ and print a test page ok.

(7 Comments)However, when I print from an application, the print job gets aborted. I looked into Console, and found this: "kCGErrorRangeCheck : Window Server communications from outside of session allowed for root and console user only".
Does anyone know how to fix this? It was fine working under Panther.
