I hope someone can point me in the right direction on this one as it has me baffled. I have a 512 meg iMac 1.25Ghx running OS10.3.4 connected to a Lacie Firewire drive with 10.3.5 installed. For the first time in weeks I shut down my Mac (rather than send it to sleep). On starting some of the programs start to launcg and the small triangle shows next to their icon in the dock. The menu bar does not become active though and there is less hard disk activity than normal. The program then does nothing and if I look on Force quit it says it is not responding. The programs are Mail, Safari, iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto, Installer, Address Book. Strangely iTunes launches no problem as does all my Adobe CS Programs and IExplorer. Help does not launch though.
I booted off the Lacie and that works fine so I then updated the Mac to 10.3.5 (the same as the Lacie) and this cured the problem. After shutting down however the problem reappeared. I have rebuilt permissions etc. Then I have done and archive and install of 10.27 on the Mac to see if it was a Panther thing. The odd behaviour continues.
