ROM file from Powermac G3?

I have sheepshaver all ready on my intel-based mac but how can I get the ROM file from the old PowerMac G3 running Mac OS 8.6? Zip drives? floppys? CDs? I want it to be something USB because my intel-based mac is a mac mini. I tried re-partitioning my flash drive to be compatible with PowerPC systems but I guess that doesn't support Mac OS 8. How can I get it onto my mac mini?

Well you could burn it to a CD if your G3 can do that. Otherwise if your G3 has a USB port it should recognize your flash drive (mine does) providing you have USB drivers installed. The partitioning a flash drive sounds a bit complicated to me and your G3 may be responding the same way, especially if it is GUID partitioned which pre-Tiger cannot recognize. How about buying a cheap flash drive for $5 and formatting it plain vanilla HFS+ on APM, or even just leave it as FAT formatted which might be acceptable to both generations? I used a FAT drive in my G3 all the time when transferring between Windows and Mac.

  • How do I remove an attached DVD-ROM file from DVD Studio Pro?

    How do I permanently remove a file that was once built into a disc image in DVDSP?
    I have a project that I frequently use to author DVDs. It has custom menus already created. Each time I author a new DVD, I simply replace the .m2v and .ac3 that are in track 1 (along with changing drop zones, chapter menus, etc). At some point along the way I had also included an attached DVD-ROM file in the disc image. Now I can't seem to get rid of it. Even unchecking the box in the inspector and in the build/format menu, it still shows up on the .img. When I deleted the file from the computer, it failed to build the .img.
    Specs: I'm using the 2009 MacPro listed below, but using FCS2 on a Snow Leopard partition of the startup drive.

    Never mind. PEBKAC.
    I had multiple copies of the disc image open. The latest one was correct. Never author DVDs when low on caffeine.

  • Moving files from PowerMac G3 to MacBook Pro

    I have a new MacBook Pro and am moving files from all my old macs onto it. I found an old beige desktop PowerPC hard drive but don't have a monitor for it. Also, I have ancient 3.5 floppies that I need to read and the old beige computer has a slot for that. So, the question is: How do I get my files off the beige G3 and onto the new computer when the beige PowerPC has NO firewire?

    One solution is to find any old crappy monitor and hook it up to the beige G3. Then you can configure it to use Ethernet, and set up a small Ethernet network with your new MacBook Pro. It is a little complicated, but not difficult.

  • Get files from PowerMac G3 to External Drive

    My uncle has an old G3 with a lot of photos and most of a book he has written. We need to get that information off the old G3 and onto an external drive. The G3 is running 8.5 and has two firewire ports, but when I connect my external LaCie Rugged drive, it doesn't seem to recognize it. I can't remember much about getting around in 8.5, so I'm not sure where to start to move the files. It has a CD/ROM drive, but it's not a writable drive and the USB ports are only 1.1, so none of my external USB devices work either. I also tried connecting with ethernet, but no joy there because my MB Pro doesn't see it and it doesn't see my MB Pro. I turned on file sharing on both machines, but I'm sure I'm missing something with the old Mac. Target disk mode isn't an option since it's not supported pre OS 9. Any suggestions?
    Oh, and while I'm at it, how high can I upgrade the OS? The machine runs perfectly, but it's way out of date. It's got 10 gb's of free space on the hard drive and is a PPC 2.33 ghz processor.

    You could temporarily remove the G3's hard drive from the computer and use an adapter like this one, for connection to your MacBook via USB 2.0. Assuming that you have adequate hard drive capacity for transferring the files to the MacBook, you could then burn them to CDs/DVDs or to a USB flash drive. I upgraded my beige G3s with larger hard drives, more memory, CD burners, FireWire, and USB 1.1 ports, and a better graphics card, but I wouldn't recommend doing that today with a 11 year-old computer. If your uncle wants to keep using it, I'd suggest downloading/running the OS 8.6 Update (updates OS 8.5/8.5.1 to 8.6). If a beige G3 has adequate installed memory and hard drive space, it's officially supported up to Jaguar (OS 10.2.x), or to Panther (10.3.x) with the assistance of the downloadable "XPostFacto".

  • Transfer files from PowerMac G3 to PowerBook G4

    My old Super Match monitor just gave it up. I need to get files off my PowerMac G3 400 running OS 9.2.2 onto to my PowerBook G4

    If both are on Broadband Internet, you can turn on File Sharing and make the transfer that way. But if you truly have No Monitor, that will be tough. If your G3 is supported, you could put it into FireWire Target Disk Mode:

  • Could someone suggest a procedure describing how I should migrate my iTunes files from old an older Motorola-based PowerMac to a new Intel-based Mac Pro?

    My problem concerns migrating, or moving my iTunes files from a Motorola-based G4 PowerMac OS X 10.4.11 iTunes 9.2.1 (4) to a new Intel-based Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.4 iTunes 11.0.4. 
    Context Summary:
    1.  Migration assistants on my old and new macs are not compatible. 
    2.  My older mac has my iTunes library stored on an external firewire disk. 
    3.  Part (but not all) of my iTunes files are also resident/stored on my iPod classic.
    4.  Finally, I need OS X 10.4.11 on my old mac and cannot upgrade it to OS X10.5.
    Proposed method A: Is there a way to transfer my playlists from my Motorola Mac to my Intel Mac?  If so, could I then connect my external firewire disk (containing my iTunes library) to my new mac, and then tell iTunes (on new mac) to use my iTunes library located on my external firewire disk? 
    Proposed method B: Would my chances for success improve if I used my iPod classic to transfer iTunes files from old Mac to new?
    Worst Case Proposal C:  I could start from scratch and recreate iTunes playlists and library on new mac.... time consuming proposal but it's possible.  (Please don't suggest this proposal unless no other viable choices exist for me.)
    Or have I missed something?  Is there another procedure I should use?
    Please advise, and thank you.

    Hello Chris,
    Answer to your iTunes library question:  By iTunes Library, I mean my iTunes Media folder only; not the entire /iTunes/folder with iTunes media folder inside.
    BTW: Your pointer to ht4889 was very helpful, and sharing the folder, then copying it over firewire interface from old to new mac was most useful.
    However, now with my entire iTunes folder (including iTunes media folder) moved to new mac, I remain unclear as to how I should configure iTunes on the new mac so that it can know about and use these copied files.  I understand using iTunes preferences, how to point iTunes to my media folder, but don't know what other iTunes operations are necessary for iTunes to pick up where I left off with my old mac.
    Is there any file conversion necessary? 
    Or inside iTunes, should I:
    File->Library->Organize Library?  or
    File->Library->Export Library?  or
    File->Library->Import Playlist?
    Please advise and thank you again for your help. 
    As you might imagine, I put a great deal of time building my iTunes library, and would feel very blue if I need to build it again from scratch on my new mac.
    So long for now.

    It's because the PowerMac G5 had HUGE bandwidth with a fat BUS on each processsor so they could run hard, hot and heavy.
    It's not so with the Intel processors which are multi-core and share a common bus thus bottleneck.
    The newer Intel processors can do more work on the CPU, but when it comes to in/out they are s-l-o-w.
    I've had a wickedly fast dual processor (not dual core) G5, RAID 0 pair of 10,000 RPM drives as boot and a fast video card, I could do a lot very very fast.
    You'll likely have to upgrade to Final Cut X to get more cores utilized, prepare to cry a little bit, Apple is working on the features they stripped out of it to make amends to pro users who complained loudly. (all over TV too)

  • How do I move some program files and redirect my user files from ssd C to drive E?

    Brand new HP Phoenix  h9-1183, Windows 7 64 bit SSD only 99.2 GB, data drive E: 2 TB.
    When tried to transfer files from old HP desktop to new Phoenix, I got the message that there was not enough space. When I took a closer look, I was surprised that only 99.0GB was assigned to the OS. I have been trying to figure out how to remove some of the programs that came with the computer (i.e. DVD Maker, Windows mail, Cyberlink Power DVd, Power2go etc.) from the C drive onto the E drive where there is more space. Also if I could move my library (documents, pictures, music, vide etc.) to E  drive that would give the OS drive more space for updates etc. I have been searching for the how to, but have discovered that the program files and user files which contain the library etc. should not be moved according to Microsoft and if they are they won't cover any service. Tried to contact them with my problem (and it seems this will become a bigger problem as more and more of the newer computers containing ssds are going this way with little space in the C: SSD) and I got the message to contact my computer manufacturer. Tried seeing on the HP help and support if there is a solution for this and saw nothing. So here I am with a new computer and I've spent a couple of weeks now trying to set things up and searching for a way to allow more hard drive space. I found this site ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKTNmoq2zXI&feature=fvwrel) on how to move user files from C onto new drive, but it only works for 1 folder (I moved my video folder and then when I tried to move my pictures, it got messed up and I had to do a restore. There must be a simple way to fix this; otherwise this computer is useless. Thanks for any help or suggestions!!

    Hi,
    That's right, this is the installation process:
    C. Install and activate Norton Internet Security
    You can install and activate Norton from a CD or a downloaded file:If you do not want to join Norton Community Watch, uncheck the option. By default, this option is checked.
    Insert the CD into your computer's CD-ROM drive (if you are installing from a download, double-click the file you downloaded and proceed to step 2).
    Place a check in the box next to Norton Security Software, and click Next.
    When the installation is complete, find and open the Norton Security Software folder on your desktop.
    Double-click on the Install Norton Internet Security.exe icon to begin the installation.
    Click OK to begin the installation, or click Install Options to change where Norton installs, and then click Browse to locate the new location. ........

    Problem:
    I upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard. Everything worked fine for a month. To free up disk space I deleted some of the iPhoto flders (modfied and original images). Everything worked still fine. Shut down the computer. Next day it was incredibly slow. At the same time the indexing was running. I stopped indexing, but stll slow. Every operation took minutes. I tried all the tricks that I found in the internet (repaired file permissions, repaired disk, cleared PRAM , moved big filed from desktop, etc.). After 24 full hours of trying all this I decided to erase the hard drive and reinstall, directly from the Snow Leopard Install disk, but it fails after downloading the packages. Below is the part of the log. Then I tried to use the old Leopard install DVD to reinstall Leopard, it then sais estimated time 12 hours or so and eventually crashed, spitting out a lot of "reportcrash" in the log. What is going on? I'm running out of options. Any advice? Would zeroing the hard drive help? If nothing else I plan to buy a new hard drive, since the only explanation I have is that there is a problem with the hard driven although the disk utility says it is OK. I need a bigger one anyway. Any ideas? Thank you!

    It sounds to me like your Internal Hard Drive is failing.
    I recommend you buy a new one, that is a good candidate for replacing the old one, but install it in an External enclosure and Install a fresh Mac OS X on it from the DVD. You can boot your Mac from any attached drive.
    The new System can be used to get some work done, check your emails, and takes the pressure off resolving this immediately. You can also attempt to salvage files off the old drive if needed.
    Once things seem to be working, then move the new drive inside the computer. Failures at this point may be due to bad cable, which has been a problem in some of these MacBooks.
    Use security erase, write Zeroes, one pass, to re-write every block on the old drive. Any block discovered to be bad will be replaced with spares the drive holds in reserve for this purpose. If more than 10 blocks are pared on one pass, "Initialization Failed!" will be the result. Although you can try the erase again, there is some question whether you want to trust this drive with your precious data.

  • Importing .mxf Files from an external hard drive...

    Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. My problem comes close to others discussed, but I haven't been able to find a duplicate post. And I apologize for the length; I just want to give you as much info. as possible (I also put details in my signature) to help you help me.
    I shot a short film using Panasonic's HVX200 camera, filming in HD 720p/24p, and downloaded each P2 card through a PC laptop into a LaCie Brick external hard drive. I was originally planning on editing the footage with Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, but became frustrated with how much trouble it was having handling the .mxf files. Assured by Apple salespeople that FCP 5 would have no problem importing the footage from an external hard drive, I purchased the computer described in my signature.
    Now I know that FCP/Apple only supports importing footage from the P2 card directly, and not from an external hard drive. A representative from ProMax.com was able to help me out, however. First, he had me copy the footage files onto my Mac internal drive from the external hard drive. Then, he had me select IMPORT -> PANASONIC P2. Then, I was to highlight the CONTENTS folder and import away. And it worked... sort of.
    There are two major problems: 1) During this transfer, not all of the footage is making it across. I import it, and then get the much-talked about "one or more P2 clips failed to import; probable incomplete or corrupt clips" warning. After checking the original video folder on the internal hard drive and comparing it to the number of clips FCP imported, I learned that I had lost around 20 clips/video files at one point. Other shooting day transfers worked completely smoothly with all of the files imported (we split up the footage by shooting day, without touching or changing the CONTENTS folders). So, some transfers work and some don't. And 2) When I try to import the files from our 4th day of shooting, I get a "Selected path does not contain a P2 volume." Nothing is imported.
    So, that's my situation, and I'm getting very desperate. I know that I'm not doing things in the Apple-supported way, but I'm really hoping there's still someway to successfully get the files from the external hard drive into FCP completely. It seems to work some of the time.
    Final notes: When importing, I make sure to import the entire CONTENTS folder. There is never a LASTCLIP.TXT file listed under it in the window, but some of the days of footage have transferred perfectly, so I'm hoping that's not a dealbreaker. If it is, isn't there some way to rebuild a lastclip.txt file? I don't even know if that's the issue. And one last note: In most of my folders, the "CLIP" folder has a number of files in it. In the 4th day's footage that I can't import at all, I noticed that the CLIP folder is empty. And on the days where FCP isn't importing all the files (like I mentioned above), there isn't a CLIP file for every single VIDEO file. Could this be the main problem? Along this line, is there a way to somehow put the footage on the external hard drive back through a p2 card and then into the Mac?
    Okay, I'll stop typing. Thank you so, so much for any help.
    Tom
    PowerMac G5 (Dual 2.3 GHz)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Quicktime 7.1.1 - Final Cut Pro 5.1 - Aforementioned External Hard Drive: LaCie Brick (FAT 32 based)
    PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    The problem didn't turn out to be as complicated as I had thought. The process I described above ended up working fine, and I'll explain how. And this is a cool workaround, because the AppleCare helpers told me that they didn't think it would work (FCP P2 import is only supported straight from the P2 card/viewer or the camera).
    I hooked up my external hard drive to the Power Mac G5, and copied the files and folders onto my internal scratch disk. Then, I opened FCP and chose IMPORT -> Panasonic P2. I chose the "CONTENTS" folder for each day's filming, and imported them in, no problems. There was no visible "lastclip.txt" file shown (under the "CONTENTS" folder or anywhere else), but this didn't seem to cause any problems.
    The reason that not all of the footage was bring imported (the aforementioned "one or more P2 clips failed..." warning) was because we were missing clip files (in the CLIP folder) corresponding to certain video files (in the VIDEO folder). Luckily, we had just forgotten to transfer all of them from the original external hard drive, and once we transfered them completely, FCP could read all the video files. FCP needs a clip file for every video file in order to make it work (that's why our aforementioned "Day 4" could not be read; we hadn't copied all of the clip files over with the video files).
    Even after we did this, we STILL were getting the "one or more P2 clips..." warning for our Day 5. After taking a look at all the folders, we figured out that there were still more files in the VIDEO folder than in the CLIP folder, even after we transferred them all over. Finally, we figured out what had happened. For some reason, some of the audio files for some of the clips had been included in the VIDEO folder for our Day 5. There is no way we did this accidentally; somehow, the HVX200 placed some of the audio files into both the VIDEO and AUDIO folders. And FCP was trying to read those as video files, and therefore couldn't find the corresponding clips in the CLIP folder. After making sure that those audio files were also in the AUDIO folder, we simply deleted them from the VIDEO folder and stopped getting the "failed to import" warning.
    Final thing to share: If we had actually been unable to find the corresponding clip files in our original external hard drive, we had also found a potential solution (that we didn't end up needing to try). You can record from FCP back onto the P2 card, in the hopes that the clip files would be regenerated when you re-import it into FCP. I received a PDF file about this process, and I'm not sure how to put it up on the page here. If interested in this described process (which, again, I can't fully vouch for), feel free to email me at [email protected] and I can forward it to you.
    Hope this helps.

    For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys.  Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it.  It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295

  • Slow to open Illustrator and Photoshop files from FileServer

    I have a client that has 5 or so Mac users who cannot open Illustrator and Photoshop files from our Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.

We also tested network and bandwidth speeds, but they are all connected to Gigabit connections and running with PowerMacs.
    Some users have a workaround by copying the files to their desktop to open, but that is becoming tedious as well.

    windows formatted (NTFS) 250GB SimpleTech External HD
    Hi Friends,
    I'm forced to use a PC at work that I have the windows formatted ext hard drive connected to for backup purposes.
    I connected the external drive via USB2 to my TiPB and downloaded some RAW image files.
    Those image files are not recognized by my Bridge on my Mac.
    Those image files are no longer recognized by my PC thru Bridge, Photoshop or Lightroom. I also see an extra file type with the name "filename.dng.mac"
    Therefore, if my original file name is "_JTR0398.dng", then, after mounting the external HD on my laptop or PowerMac, I also get another file next to it named "_JTR0398.dng.mac".
    Thanks for your help!
    Joe
