Get info then check permissions then add your curent user name (it was probably different on old Mac) and give your username full read/write permissions.

  • Moving files from old Mac to new one, via Firewire

    I have an old G4, and recently bought a new iMac. I'm trying to transfer the files from my old computer to the new one via firewire (and I've also tried via ethernet cable). The G4 has two hard drives, one with system files, the other just used for data. When I connect the Macs by Firewire, with the G4 in Target mode, the iMac only recognizes the data hard drive. Is there a reason that anybody can think of why the system drive wouldn't show up?

    FireWire Target Disk mode only connects to the master ATA drive on the ATA 0 bus; if there's nothing at that location, the computer will shut down instead.

  • How can I access music that is now unavailable with iTunes 11?

    How can I access music that is now unavailable with iTunes 11?

    Many of the tunes have exclamation marks by them and iTunes says they "cannot be found". If I do a search throughout my computer I find the songs. But it is very inconvenient.

  • How can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

    how can i access my home shared videos from my iPad2 if I now have iTunes match?

    That's exactly what I meant, but for some reason Home Sharing stopped working on my iPad2 once I activated iTunes Match.
    Since then, I waited for iTunes Match to finish setting up and scanning my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro and I restarted my iPad2. Both Home Sharing and iTunes Match are now up and running smoothly!
    Thanks for the reply!

    What a crappy design. This is where Android is so much better. It seems to me like you have no control over your iPhone. It does whatever Apple has designed it to do without asking you first. On Android you can actually go in see all folders, document files, photo files etc and you have so much more control of everything. Apple s..cks!

  • How can I access songs that have been uploaded to my iCloud with itunes Match on a different (work) PC?

    I have logged in with Itunes Match on my work PC, but after 'gathering information about itunes' Itunes Match says the maximum songs that can be uploaded that were not purchased in itunes is 25000 and iMatch stops. All I want to do is have access and the ability to download songs that iMatch has already uploaded to iCloud from my home PC.
    Please Help

    Place that first folder of photos that you synced to the iPad within the main folder of photos that you sync from and select them to sync again. You can place any number of subfolders within the main folder that you sync from and select those folders to sync. Just "tick"(select) the folders in the photos tab in iTunes.

  • How can I access to my time capsule from internet?

    The main reason for bought a time capsule was that i thought i could access to my documents in it from internet. Now I can't find information about it in internet. It is possible to do it?...
    Thanks!

    Since Apple has changed the MobileMe service it is difficult.
    If you have a static IP yes, easy.. in your Mac (must be a Mac), in finder go, go to server, type AFP://IPofTC
    That is the public IP of the TC assuming it is the only router in the network, and you have checked wan access in the disk settings.. and put in a decent password.
    If you do not have a static IP, the TC is difficult. There is no dyndns client.. and you have to have your own domain to get the IP of the TC as it rotates.
    It is easier as almost every router available today has dyndns client.. to relegate the TC to bridge and use a different router and simply port forward AFP.. Please search as there are plenty of posts about how to do it.
    Give exact details of your network if you run into issues.
    And think about security .. AFP is not highly secure.

  • How can I access my home security DVR from the internet?

    My Time Capsule (as a router and not a bridge) blocks me from accessing my home security DVR from the internet.  I can access it from other computers connected to my LAN but not from the internet.  I guess it's a firewall setting issue.  I can't add the home security application to the list of firewall allowed incoming connections since it's a Windows app that I cannot install on my Mac.  On the other hand, the app is installed on my old PC but I can't access the Mac firwall settings from the PC and add the security app (If that's the problem).
    My DVR is connected to a Netgear switch which is connected to the Time Capsule which is connected to a Cisco modem provided by Comcast. I thought one of the modem ports had to be opened by Comcast. That was not the issue.  After spending 2 hours on the phone with Comcast going in circles talking to 10 different overseas agents, they concluded the Netgear switch was blocking me from accessing the DVR.  I think they are wrong and that it's a Mac firewall problem.  HELP!!!  Does anyone know what could be the problem and how to solve it?

    Did you forward the required ports in the TIme Capsule? If not it won't work.. it has nothing to do with firewall unless the DVR is plugged into the Mac. If it is plugged into a switch you need to lock the IP of the DVR and find out what ports are required.. usually just port 80, ie html.. but it could be some others.
    Since Apple do not use upnp to open ports.. the TC will have to manually be provided with the ports.. Apple use PMP-NAT that is not used by the rest of the known world.. Just to ensure you stay in the camp.
