Power Mac 7500/100 (G3) -networking wireless/either net 2 iMac...

I got a iMac Intel Duo (2006) OS 10.6.5 & I'm trying to get my PMac 7500/100-G3 (upgrade) OS 9.1 to talk to each other by eithernet or a wireless network for simple file sharing & transfer. Is there a way to do that? I do have a Eithernet Hud thet they are both hooked up to. So far I have not found a way and I just transfer files via:
PMac 7500 - USB > Thimb Drive < USB - iMac.
Soon to get my PMac G5 up and going with the same problem...

OSX.4.x lost the file transfer ability of Appletalk... 10.1.5 thru 10.3.9 had it!
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301183
With OS9 set with Appletalk to using TCP/IP, and or Chooser>AppleShare+IP, you can connect to a 10.4 or some later OSes machine.
"Mac OS X 10.4 and later don't support Personal File Sharing (or other AFP) over Appletalk, though by initiating the connection from the opposite direction you could still achieve an IP connection from a Mac OS 8 computer to a sharing Mac OS X computer. The Network preference pane in Mac OS X 10.4 and later still offers the AppleTalk checkbox, but it is for browsing AppleTalk-advertised resources and zones. The subsequent connection must be over TCP/IP."

System 8 for Power Mac 7500/100 on CD

My harddisk died and I have seem to lost my system CD as well.
Is there anybody who can provide me with a CD with system 8, I can't download from the internet (computer won't start up) so CD has to be mailed by post to the Netherlands.
Thanks

Hello Rob,
You will find a disk image of a bootable Disk Tools PPC floppy here. With access to another Mac with a built-in floppy drive, use StuffIt Expander to decode the downloaded .bin file (if applicable, set the StuffIt Expander preferences NOT to mount disk images). Then use the Make a Floppy command (under the Utilities menu) in Disk Copy 6.3.3 to produce a sector-copied floppy disk. This diskette should at least make a proper startup of the Power Macintosh 7500/100 possible. You may thus be able to inspect and perhaps correct the contents of the hard disk.
Through the use of special techniques it is also possible to modify a tools floppy to hold a different disk utility (such as Apple HD SC Setup 7.3.5 here) or a CD-ROM extension (like Apple CD-ROM 5.4 here, and various helper files).

Power Mac 5260/100 Open Transport

I can't get Open Transport to work on my Power Mac 5260/100 with 64 MB of RAM running Mac OS 9.1. I have the TCP/IP control panel set to get the IP address using DHCP using the Farallon LC PDS EtherMac NSC 10-Base T ethernet card & I checked use 802.3 framing. I have also installed the TCP/IP Options control panel & I checked all three check boxes. I also upgraded Open Transport to 2.7.6. What do I need to do to get my Mac online?

No. I haven't configured the AppleTalk control panel. The only thing I've ever used AppleTalk for is to print to my Personal LaserWriter NTR over LocalTalk. I managed to get Open Transport working in Mac OS 8.6 but I forget what exactly I did to get it working. It worked for a while with the Apple PDS Ethernet card driver & then it stopped working. I remember I had to install the TCP/IP Options control panel & check Disable MTU IP Path Discovery to get it working. I also had to install the latest version of Apple's Remote Access Client. Before upgrading to Mac OS 9.1 I did a clean reinstall of Mac OS 8.6 but I've kind of forgotten what exactly else I did to get online. I've never used the Farallon drivers & I'm not sure if I trust the installer either since it installs a outdated version of the EtherTalk Phase 2 extension.

Power Mac 5260/100 System CD

I found a eBay store selling what appears to be a Power Mac 5260/120 System CD containing Mac OS 7.5.3. Would this System CD also be compatible with a Power Mac 5260/100 by any chance? I'm asking because I happen to own a Power Mac 5260/100 I bought second hand off eBay.

I would think that there is a high probability it would work. If it's not too expensive, it's worth the chance of buying.

Power Mac 5260/100 Won't Start

I just noticed recently that my Power Mac 5260/100 won't startup anymore. I just recently replaced the PRAM battery since according to my dad's mulit-meter it was dead. The Power Mac 5260/100 doesn't even get as far as the bonging stage in the startup process. Does this mean I have a dead logic board or bad RAM? I'd be willing to replace the logic board since I have a brand new Apple TV/Video System installed that I payed a lot of money on eBay for (it came unopened when I got it so I know those components didn't fail). I also use it for old games and would like to know if I'll be able to in the future too.

I wouldn't give up yet. The CUDA reset and PRAM battery are "first responders" when it comes to "mostly dead" Macs, so we always start there.
When you attempt a start, can you hear anything? Fans? Hard drive?
Have you tried booting from a CD with a valid system? Utility CDs allow this if they are bootable. My TechTools 3 CD boots into the highest OS the computer will support (up to 9.2.2). It's amusing to see a 6100 or 6200 display the OS9 logo. I had to run utilities every few days on my 6200/75 to keep it limping along.
Checked everything inside for solid connections?
I think that one has the "tray type" logic board with scores of connectors along one edge. Those must be clean and seated.
Some in this series have a plastic bridle arrangement for the rear of the CD-ROM that can flex and lose contact. Check/clean it if present.
I believe this computer uses "soft power." Have you tried a different keyboard, or tried using the backup power button?
There were "known hardware issues" with this and similar Mac models. Review that article and this one (includes a logic board diagram). The second link has links to hardware testers if you get it running. The extended warranty period ended in July 2003(?), however.

Power Macintosh 7500/100 thinks all floppies are locked.

My new (to me) Power Macintosh 7500/100 is thinking all disks I put in it are locked. Is there a way to fix this without replacing the drive?
Thanks,

This is how I clean floppy drives:
1) Remove floppy drive from the computer.
2) Remove the cover.
3) Use a can of compressed air, making sure all the loose dust is gone.
4) Use cotton swabs to reach the tighter spots, making sure all dirt is cleaned out.
5) Lubricate the mechanism and springs with 3-in-1 multipurpose oil, a silicone grease or something similar. Do not use WD-40 or white lithium grease - these won't last long.
6) Reassemble the drive and install it back into the computer.
7) Use a floppy drive cleaning diskette/kit to clean the read/write heads of the drive. Although this can be done manually with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab, it is more safe to use a cleaning diskette because you cannot damage the drive this way. If doing it manually, please be careful and don't stretch the read/write head spring too far - otherwise, the upper read/write head will never go down again.
If you follow these easy procedures, your drive should be good as new. Good luck!

Is it possible to connect an older Power Mac (running OS 10.5.8) to an iMac running 10.9.5. I want to share the monitor, keyboard and mouse and switch between the two computers.

Is it possible to connect an older Power Mac (running OS 10.5.8) to an iMac running 10.9.5. I want to share the monitor, keyboard and mouse and switch between the two computers.

as far as I know then the target display mode is not an option with such an old mac

Connecting Power Mac 9500/200 to network to transfer data to iMacs

I have recently had two of my macs stolen an old G5 Power mac and a new iMac 27" I used to use the G5 as a go-between to transfer files from my Power Mac 9500/200 to my network because the PM 9500/200 could not see the iMacs and vice versa. Is there any way of connecting them now, I believe there were some problems with networking such an old system before is this still the case?

Very little that is compatible with the 9500 is with the 10.7 or later Macs.

Power Mac G3 Pismo with Airport wireless card in Mac OS X 10.4 won't connect to wireless network with newest Airport Extreme Base Station set at WPA Personal/WPA 2 Personal encryption.

My Power Book G3 Pismo with an Airport wireless card running Mac OS X 10.4.11 will not connect to my new Airport
Extreme Base Station using WPA Personal/WPA 2 Person encryption. The Airport firmware is version 9.52. From
posts I've read online at different places indicates the Airport card should support the WPA encryption. Perhaps the problem
is the Base Station is using a combination setting and the fault is in the base station?
Thanks for any suggestions

Perhaps an inexpensive usb wireless adapter would work as well?
This is probably the simplest way to get the G3 connected to the wireless network.
I'll have to read up on getting an express and using it as a wireless bridge as I am unfamiliar with the concept.
The new AirPort Extreme is broadcasting a wireless signal.
A new AirPort Express could be located close to the G3. The Express will pick up the wireless signal from the AirPort Extreme, then provide an Ethernet connection to the G3 though a short Ethernet cable.
This can work very well......IF.....you keep the G3 at a fixed location, since it will always be connected to the AriPort Express using an Ethernet cable.
I do have an old Linksys Wireless G router. I wonder if that would work?
In theory, yes. But it would have to use much older WEP "security", which is easily cracked in minutes using free tools available on the Internet. So, anyone who really wanted to get on the network could do so. It's an option, but not a very good one.

I have an older Power Mac and it does not have the ability/hardware to connect to my wireless network.It is on 2nd floor which has no ethernet connections available. How can I get connected wirelessly?

I have an older Power Mac desktop computer. I do not believe it has the hardware to connect wirelessly to my wireless network. The computer is located on the 2nd floor of my house where there are no ethernet network connections so I would have to use wireless to connect to the internet. I have a wireless LinkSys router downstairs that I use to create my wireless network. I also have a Time Capsule upstairs but without the ability to plug an ethernet network cable into it, I cannot use it to get internet access t the computer.
What hardware can I add to give me the abiity to connect the Power Mac to my wireless network?
Is there a way perhaps to link routers? IE. Can I somehow have my existing wireless router downstairs connect wirelessly with the Time Capsule upstairs that i could then plug the Power Mac into for connectivity?
Not sure what version of OS this computer is currently using but do know it does not have the newer dual Intel processors. As such I am unable to update to newer OS versions.

While uselessSABOTAGE's advice is great, in case of future issues, it would helps us in the future if you would post accurate tech specs of your model iMac.
You info states you have an older IMac PowerMac, but is also says your OS X version is OS X 10.7.2.
This is not possible. OS X 10.7.2 Lion only runs on Intel CPU Macs.
Please, go up to the Apple symbol in the upper top left of OS X main menu bar. Click the symbol. Then click About this Mac. A popup window appears that gives some basic info. Then, click the More Info button and both post your iMacs complete specs by selecting/highlighting all of the info and copy paste this into a reply to this post, editing out your iMac's serial number. Then update the info you posted in your user profile with some of this new found data for future postings.

How can I use an Airport Express to join my wireless network and provide an internet signal to my Power Mac g5 via an ethernet cable?

I have a power mac g5 that does not have a wireless card, and connects to the internet via ethernet cable.
I want to know how to set up an airport express so that it joins my wireless home network and provides the G5 with an internet signal.
This via an ethernet cable that is plugged into the airport express and then into the ethernet port on the g5.
Please advise as I have configured the airport express in every way possible, the green light is on and when I plug the ethernet cable into the G5 my network cofigurations shows nothing and says that the ethernet cable is not plugged in (It is).
I get an internet signal if the ethernet cable is plugged directly into my wireless router, so the ethernet port works.
Please assist. Thanks.

Two requirements that must be met to do what you want.......
1) An AirPort Express 802.11n must be used. Check the Model No on the label on the side of the Express. It needs to be A1264. Any other model number will not do what you want.
2) The Express must be configured to "Join a wireless network" and the option to enable Ethernet Clients must be checked.
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
The box to "Allow Ethernet Clients" must be checked
Please check to verify that your AirPort Express meets both requirements

Power Mac Dual 1.8 Ghz: How do I connect to wireless network?

HELP!!!
I have this Power Mac Dual 1.8 Ghz with 10.4.11 OS. I used to use wire cable to connect the internet, but now the place I rent recently only provides wireless network. I was able to connect wireless network with my Windows Laptop.
Question: How do I connect my Dual 1.8 OS 10.4.11 with wireless network? I only see Internal Modern, Built-in Ethernet and Build-in FireWire options.

You can go the OWM route and get the airport extreme card and antenna
http://www.dvwarehouse.com/Apple-Airport-Extreme-Wireless-Card-802.11G-M8881-p-3 1367.html
http://www.dvwarehouse.com/Apple-Airport-External-Antenna-for-G5-2004-2005--MacP ro-Early-2008-A1066-922-6043---NEW-p-33986.html
Google the part numbers for more vender choices,
Or, you need to get a PCI WiFi card and antenna. BDAqua or Japamac have posted alternatives which are actually a little cheaper than the Apple parts.
The third alternative is a USB-based wireless adapter.

My power mac g4 with wireless card 801.11b cannot log into new AirPort Extreme 801.11ac network

everything worked until I upgraded to airport extreme. I used all same settings as with previous extreme al other items logged in to new network, but would not accept power mac. Apple wireless card 801.11b may not be able to communicate with AC standard. Can anyone suggest an upgrade card or means of getting the power mac on the wireless network to communicate with various wireless printers

Hello!
I have noticed that some manufacturers (Linksys and possibly D-LINK) only accept upper-case WEP keys only.
This drove me nuts when trying to integrate a Linksys PC PCMCIA card into my old "g" network.
As far as using WEP, it's bad and broken; but I understand that your choice of security is limited to the devices that you are trying to network.
For what it's worth, I have my network set up with the AEBS 'n' connected to my Cable Modem, with one of the ports going to a gigabit switch for my wired network. I then have two AirTunes set up as WDS extensions for music & Internet delivery to two separate areas. The AEBS 'n" serves up DHCP and routing for the entire network.
It works quite well; I get 54 mbits/sec for the two WDS AirTunes, and 145 mbits/sec to one of my ATV's. My gigabit wired machines see data rates of 15-27 MBytes/sec (depending on the type of transfer).
Good luck!

Connecting Mac book pro to power mac via wireless network

I've bought a mac book pro and am now trying to transfer some files from my old power mac to the mac book, yesterday all I did was turn file sharing on and use finder to connect to the mac book through network on the side bar.
Today I try the same thing and it says "The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again."
I'm not interested in a work around I can probably find one myself, what I would like to know is where can I check what the power mac thinks the IP address of the mac book is? I can see the server name and that's right and I know the sharing options are the same as yesterday, Mac OS suggests you check these things but as I didn't set them and it found them on its own, where are they?
P.S. Why does it also offer me the option to "Fix Alias" for a network item when all that does is open finder for this computers so I can point it at something on the hard drive?

I suspect that you are using DHCP to distribute ip addresses on you LAN and that the MBP has a different ip address today than it did yesterday. You can find the new ip in the Network pane of System Preferences on the MBP. I can't figure out how to find out what the client thinks the ip of the MBP is, though. ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist contains an entry for the last server connected to, for example, but it doesn't seem to include the ip. I deleted a bunch of obsolete files from ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost recently, though, which might have included this so you might look there.

No idea.

How do I Connect both an iBook and Power Mac G5 to Windows XP Pro network?

I have an existing Windows network at home, with a Motorola Surfborad Cable Modem, Linksys Wired Cable/DSL VPN Router with 5-port 10/100 switch (BEFVP41), Linksys Wireless G Access Point (WAP54G), Linksys Etherfast 10/100 Workgroup Switches (EZXS55W v3) and several connected devices including: two Windows Desktops (wired), a Humax TiVo (wireless), Two (2) SlimDevice Squeezeboxes (wireless), and a Microsoft X-Box game system.
For some reason, I cannot successfully connect either a Power Mac G5 (wired) or an iBook (wireless) to the newtork and internet. In both cases, if I attempt to connect them, the router does appear to see them, but I can't get connection to the Internet.
Also, if I try to access either the Router or the WAP via their respective Access URL's: http://10.0.1.1/ & http://10.0.1.2/ nothing happens.
I have disconnected all the other connected devices and tried to connect them with no results.
Re-starting the cable modem, router or WAP didn't help.
If I connect one of the Windows PC's to the same cable I have tried unsuccessfully with the Power Mac, The Windows PC connects to both the Network and Internet immediately!
Additionally, I have checked out the entire wiring system, which are Cat5E cables. This included re-checking all connectors and testing each wire run. All cables are "straight through" with no opens, shorts or cross0overs.
I am sure that I am doing something wrong and that there is an "easy fix", but it's beyond my meager knowledge.
If someone can supply me with "Step by Step", detailed instructions on how to accomplish this, please help me.
Sincerely,

Hi Gordy,
Well, that's certainly some setup you've got there.
Also, if I try to access either the Router or the WAP via their respective Access URL's: http://10.0.1.1/ & http://10.0.1.2/ nothing happens.
I'm not sure about those URL's. Plug your PowerMac into the router , then launch Safari and type 192.168.1.100 in the address bar it should allow you to access the routers settings via the web-based utility. Please check and see if that much that works and post back.
