Hello,
I own a Power book G4 with Mac OS X Tiger. My computer has worked perfectly until yesterday when strange things started happening. Firstly, intermittently, but quite often, I would access Safari and the application would unexpectedly quit along with the message that it had unexpectedly quit. I would then try to reopen it and the same crash would occur. I would then try using Firefox and the same thing would occur.
As well, along with the above, sometimes the computer would either completely stop responding or the computer would display a message saying in a few different languages that I had to put my finger on the power button and hold it down to restart the computer.
I ran the disk utility but the messages it gave me were:
"Mounting Disk(S, "Checking HFS Plus Volum.",0)
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking Exctended Atrributes file.
Invalid leaf record count (in red)
(It should be 2 instead of 196)
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
Repairing volume.
The volume Macintosh HD was repaired successfully.
Repair attempted on 2 volumes
1 HFS volum repaired (in green)
1 volume could not be repaired (in red)"
Can you help me get my mac working properly again?

Ralf,
I would do the following:
-Run disk utility several times (until you get no error reports). Some errors are identified and fixed only after others have been.
-Get a copy of Cocktail (available via versiontracker.com) and run all of the utilities under the "System" tab. These cron scripts will repair MANY odd behaviors.
