Apple iMac G4 Desktop Logo
Posted on May 09, 2008

G4 problem My G4 is acting weird.  None of my icons are popping visual on the desktop, not even the hard drive.  The top strip that show the apple icon, file, edit, bookmark, etc... keeps disappearing and reappearing. Even as I type it goes in and out like I clicked on the desktop and then clicked back on to the safari window.

Hi, Try shutting the G4 completely down, waiting about 15 seconds, and then booting the Mac with the shift key down. That should clean up a lot, as it gives a safe boot. Then go to disc utilities and repair permissions. That might clean the whole thing up for you. If sounds like it's a Finder problem. If that doesn't work, boot from Disc Warrior or Tech Tools and run a few tests. Good luck!
