Can I attach my old G4 tower to my new iMac

I have an old 533MHz G4 tower (10.4.11) and I dont really want to dump it if I can find a use for it. I have an iMac 2.5GHz i5 (10.6.8) and am curious if there is a way I can link the two around the obvious tech gap issue? Any ideas? Cheers.

If you have your own Router, just connect it up to the Router.
If not, you may be able to get your modern Mac to use Internet Sharing to extend Internet access to your older Mac.

  • Can I use the old Classic mode on a new iMac?

    On my old iMac G5 running OS X 10.3.9, I also had a "Classic" mode that worked with all my old apps. I just bought a newer iMac (10 months old) running OS X version 10.6.6. Can I install Classic on it too? If not, is there some other way that I can run my old Photoshop, Word etc. on my new computer?

    The various free Office-like open source applications are great, however learning to use the Gimp, for anyone who is used to the way Photoshop and Mac programs work, is a challenge. And that is an understatement of the case! Instead of struggling with the Gimp, for less than 100 bucks one can buy Photoshop Elements. It will do everything the Classic version of Photoshop would do, that "regular" people would want, and then some (there are some things that professionals do, such as working with CMYK, that Elements doesn't do). Another option is Pixelmator, but I've been trying it (it was on sale in the new Mac App Store), and it just isn't as good as PS Elements, and its regular price isn't all that much cheaper.

  • Can I sync on old 3G iPhone to my new iMac even though it was originally set up on an HP computer that has since died.  I want to retrieve the photos only.

    Will I be able to retrieve photos on my old 3G iPhone that was originally synced to an old HP computer that has since died if I try to sync it to my new iMac?  All I want to do is save the photos on the 3G iPhone.

    Are these photos in your camera roll or were they synced to your 3G? Makes a big difference. If in your camera roll, you can use either iPhoto or Image capture to import them to your Mac. If they were synced to your 3G, you'll have to use third-party software to extract them:

    Apple makes no provision to extract synced photos from an iOS device. Bear in mind, they were reduced in resolution when synced to your phone, & there's no way to recover their full resolution.

  • How can i use my old airport express with my new imac and wireless hp print

    i just bought my first imac (intel) and a wireless hp printer. i now realize that a wireless connection between my imac and my printer needs a router.
    i have an airport express base station, which is a few years old. I can't find my documentation, so i don't know its specifications.
    how can i find out the specs of the airport express i have and whether i can use it now? it says that it is model a1084 100-240v~ 0.2a 50-60 hz.
    does that tell any knowledgeable people out there about the specs? can i search the apple website by serial number and find the specs?
    thank all of you potential responders ahead of time.

  • I can't save an old InDesign file to the new version

    I can't save an old InDesign file to the new version. I keep getting this message:
    I can only save the file as .IDML.

    This happens to ALL old InDesign files on my iMac (problem does not happen on my Macbook pro). I have saved the files as .idml and opened them again. I get the same error when I try to save the file as .indd. They can ONLY be saved as .idml.
    I never embed images and do not have font issues (file was created on the same iMac as it is being opened on now).
    Sometimes I get an error when I first try to open an old file - it ays the file is damaged and can't be opened. I try again right after and it opens fine.

  • CAN I CHANGE AN OLD 3GS IPHONE TO A NEW ONE?

    Can I change an old 3GS Iphone to a new one in the apple store in Germany?

    If you sell your 3GS prior to visiting the store, you can use the money gained against the cost of a new iPhone.
    Apple won't just change it for you, just like any other shop won't just change any old product for a new one.

  • How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

    How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

    When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
    have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
    remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can I access my old iphoto libary on my newer laptop? I have a new iphoto folder on my laptop so I don't want to lose my current photos. I just want to add more.

    How can I access my old iphoto libary on my newer laptop?
    I have a new iphoto folder on my laptop so I don't want to lose my current photos. I just want to add more.

    Do the following:
    rename the old library to something other that iPhoto Library.
    copy the library to the Pictures folder on your new laptop.
    launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the old library to open it and convert it to the newer version.
    Note:  if the older version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on it before opening with iPhoto on your new laptop.
    If you want to merge the two libraries into one library and keep the edited versions, keywords, titles, etc. you'll need to use the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager to do the merging.
