After I connect 2 macs with firewire......

Hi,
I need help! This is what happened. I got an old Mac and a new Mac. I transferred the profile on the old Mac to the new Mac using Migration manager... all good no problem...
However, now my old Mac wouldn't start... it keeps asking me to "You need to restart your computer.. hold down the power button blah blah blah". I did, but it keeps going back to this screen...
I need my old Mac to work.. please help!

is it the kernel panic?? crash screen?
if it does this as soon as you boot up there is a problem with the software...
try repairing permissions (boot up from your install disk and go past the language select wait for the menu bar to appear then select disk utility from the utility menu) and zapping the pram hold Apple, alt, p and R keys down then power up the macbook hold all the keys down till you hear the startup tone twice then let go..
also try booting in safe mode i think you startup holding the shift key see if that helps.
good luck

Connect 2 Macs w/ Firewire. Not Target disk mode.

I have a PowerBook and an early 09 iMac 24". I used to connected them via firewire to transfer files. Suddenly... the iMac won't recognize the PowerBook... but the Powerbook will recognize the iMac. Actually, the iMac does recognize the PB, but only shows the "drop box" folder.
Is there anyway to configure a firewire connection or something else I might have overlooked? I'm not interested in target disk mode.

Sorry to take awhile to get back to you. I had no experience with connecting two Macs with FireWire, except with TDM. But today I have played around with connecting my iMac and my Mac mini with a FW cable directly.
I assume that you did two things in System Preferences that facilitate this connection; 1. you have created the FireWire network in the Network pane, and 2. you have enabled File Sharing in the Sharing pane. The only other thing to do is make sure that you have selected Bonjour computers in the Shared section of the Sidebar pane of the Finder Preferences.
Then, no matter which style of windows you use for the Finder; icons, list, columns or Cover Flow, you should be presented with a Connect button if you highlight the other computer in a Finder window's Sidebar.

You can connect two Macs with an ethernet wire, or conect two Macs using Firewire if one is placed in target disk mode, but that is it.

You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

That is because that sync ability (for contacts and calendars) has been removed. Use iCloud instead.

Have PC connect to internet through Mac with firewire and file sharing

Hi, I have a network of 2 computers, one Mac and the another PC. The Mac is connected to the internet and the PC is connect to the Mac through firewire. I have managed to set up a file sharing system, both Mac and PC read each other without any third party applications. This is working great, however, the two computers successfully connect only when the PC is turned on first, or else the Mac will say that there is no device connected to the Firewire port. If the Mac is on, and then the PC gets turned on, I have to restart the Mac in order for the connection to be established. Is this normal? Is there a fix for this?
I'm also interested in having internet on the PC as well. How will I be able to do this through a firewire cable?
Thanks

Run System Preferences->Sharing->Inernet Sharing->Firewire
It's that simple.

Airport express connection - lost connectivity to iPad with iOS6 a while ago now lost connectivity to Mac with iTunes 11.1?

Many months ago I upgraded to iOS6 and as a result lost connectivity to my old airport express and tried to resest and reconfig. I gave up on fixing that and was content with the fact that my Mac still had connectivity. Now with the upgrade to iTunes 11.1 my Mac has lost connectivity. Am I dealing with an oboslete airport express, or might this be a configuration issue?

I now have this exact same problem...
My mac to my airport express was working fine up until I performed the update to iTunes 11.1. Now when I select the airplay speakers from the drop down menu I get this error:
The airplay device 'X' cannot be found on your network. Please verify your network settings and Airplay configuration or select another device. (Typed out for people who are looking on for this issue on search engines).
Though my newly updated iPhone on iOS 7 can use the airplay fine without any issues.
So since the new update my phone can use the speakers but my Macbook Pro can't? Help!

Linking intel macs with firewire

I am trying to link two intel mac pros via firewire to set one as a target disk for a quick one time transfer of files. I have disconnected all current firewire connections from both target and host computers. I shut down the target and connected the firewire cable; the host is still running. I started the target and after the chime held the T key down. Nothing happens.
Any ideas?

Connecting two macs with afp

Both a friend and I got brand new Mac Book Pros for college but he is going to a different college so were trying to get it set up so that we can transfer files between each other and access each other's computers. I started toying with afp but have been unable to get it to work even after checking my sharing settings. On another point I have thought about creating a VPN but have soon come too realize that that could be more complicated to setup and use. Can anyone see a problem, a I missing something?

Hi RustyBoltz,
Welcome to the forum.
You'll both need to forward (map) port 548 in your respective routers to the internal IP of your respective Macs. Port 548 is the Apple Filing Protcol (AFP) over TCP port. Forwarding it to a computer's internal IP enables a remote user to simply click on the Go menu in the Finder menubar, select Connect to Server..., enter the ISP assigned IP address (if not known can be found by going to www.whatismyip.com) and then, after entering their username/password be able to access the files on the remote Mac and upload/download files.
Alternatively, you can use an online server like .Mac to upload files to a Public folder that can be accessed by both of you.

Can't recall password when connecting 2 Macs via Firewire (Snow Leopard)

In Leopard I used to be able to connect my iMac and my Macbook to each other with a Firewire cable and share/move large files between them. Since the upgrade to Snow Leopard when I connect the two machines up I'm prompted to enter a password which I can't recall setting. I've tried all my usual password variants to no avail
Is there anyway I can find the password that I set or can I change one of them?
EDIT: If I connect as a Guest I can see the shared folder on my machines (I have Filesharing turned on). An easy workaround would probably be to add the folders I need to play with to the Filesharing list but I'm more concerned about the password issue
