I recently bought this iMAC with OS X and from the outset have had trouble with AOL crashing and I'm having to Force Quit and log on again to stop the little cursor wheel from spinning. When that happens and I sign on again I often get a pop-up message which read 'failed to establish a full connection with AOL.to try again, sign off then sign back on to AOL. If problem continues you may have to restart computer or reinstall AOL software. So, I've trashed AOL and reinstalled it several times both by downloading and from a disc and still have the same frequent problem but only with AOL. The version I have is AOL for Mac OS X version 10.3. AOL online and phone tech support has been no help.

Has anyone out there has similar problems with AOL and is there any solution to this?? You're welcome.The info on it shows the application to be for Power PC, however,so I don't know what that means, if anything.It means plenty.

Up until recently, Apple used PowerPC (PPC) processors for all computers. This architecture was created by the 1991 Apple-IBM-Motorola alliance and was used in all Mac computers from 1994 until this year.Apple began the switch from PPC processors to Intel processors this year for all computer lines and by the end of this year, all Mac computer lines will be converted to an Intel processor.All OS X applications were previously written with a PPC binary. In order to run natively on an Intel processor, OS X applications must converted to an Intel binary. Since there are and will be plenty of existing Macs with a PPC processor for a number of years to come, many software companies have converted to and are providing what is called a Universal version for their software which includes both PPC and Intel binaries of the application so it can run natively on either a PPC or Intel Mac.For applications that haven't been updated to a(to include PPC and Intel binaries with the application install), these remain a PPC binary such as the AOL version for OS X. To make the Intel processor transition easier, Apple includeswith all Intel Macs which works/runs in the background and allows a PPC binary application to run on an Intel Mac.

If you don't need the AOL program to connect to the internet, you can create and access your AOL email account as an IMAP type account with the Mail.app.Check.I'm not sure why you are having so much trouble with the AOL program. I have it installed on my Mac but only use it on occasion for testing purposes and it works without any problems.Do you have a PPC or Intel Mac?Using the Finder, go to Applications AOL.Select (don't open) the program and if you view the Finder as Columns, in the Finder column to the right should provide the Version or select the application and use Get Info via the Finder menu bar. It should be 10.3.7. Thank you for the information. All new apptrans for mac.

In going to the Finder column you suggested it still shows only 10.3 (no 7 after the 3) but also something else interesting I turned up in the process. It shows that the AOL program was created on 4/15/03, version 10.3, for Appl Power PC (not OX S). But I also found another interesting thing. Something titled AOL for OX S backup installer is also there and when I clk on that it tells me to 'Install' this backup.

The plot thickens. Maybe I'm running an old version of AOL and should install this backup.

What do you think? Sampson: I believe you have solved my problem. I downloaded the AOL version from the URL which you provided and it comes up to be 10.3.7 which you have contended from the outset to be the latest AOL for Mac.

The info on it shows the application to be for Power PC, however, so I don't know what that means, if anything. But probably more important is that the creation date is in September of 2005 which is two years later than the date on the versions I have been using. For some unknown reason I have apparently been receiving from AOL older versions than the one you led me to. I shall now send the older version to the trash and start using this newer one. Thank you for all your help and wish me luck! You're welcome.The info on it shows the application to be for Power PC, however,so I don't know what that means, if anything.It means plenty.

One more report on my AOL experience as a result of your help. Since dowloading the updated 10.3.7 version it seems to be running much better-faster and so far no crashes. Hope it continues that way. Have also followed your suggestion as to having my AOL e-mail picked up by the Mac Mail which seems to work fine.
