Can I connect these two Macs?

For some time I've been trying to connect a Powerbook 520, running OS 7.1, to a G5, running Tiger 10.4.8 (also has Classic environment). Was hoping to type up some stuff in Word on the considerably more portable 520 and copy it over to the G5 when needed.
I bought an AAUI to RJ45 transceiver and an ethernet crossover cable yesterday. Plug it all in today and this method doesn't seem to be working. The G5 can see it but says the AFP protocol is incorrect. Via Classic I go into AppleShare and it sees the Powerbook but I get an error each time. The Powerbook doesn't see the G5 at all.
I also have a HDI 29/30 SCSI adapter and tried to hook up my CD burner and it said it needed 7.5 and later. Terrific! Not
I have a dial-up modem for it too but have totally forgotten how to hook old Macs up to the internet.
I'm trying to get around this in the cheapest way possible, but purchasing connector after connector is adding up $$$-wise, which is hard to justify on such an old computer... I won't rule out buying a USB floppy for the G5 but this is bordering on obsessiveness. Maybe I should just give up the whole idea...

Mac OS X 10.4.x has certain limitations as far as file sharing with older systems is concerned. You may want to study posts made by Grant Bennet-Alder regarding this (e.g. here). With the correct software installed, you ought to be able to manage the connection from the PowerBook side.
System 7.5.3 (for example, British and US) is available for download from Apple.
System 7.5.3 contains the necessary TCP/IP files for the Internet. The modem (especially if internal) may require proprietary software (post back with type et cetera for additional information). An external modem will often work without special drivers. MacPPP 2.5.3 (here) will handle the PPP connection. Files can be transferred via email.
It is also possible to connect two computers modem-to-modem (locally). See, for instance, KB article # 22229.
If the PowerBook 520 is equipped with a PCMCIA expansion module, a CompactFlash memory card in a PC Card adapter (something like this one) will provide you with a fast alternative file transfer method (with a USB card reader attached to the other computer).

WRT150N and WRE54G: can I connect these two?

Hi there,
I have been using my WRT150N v1.1 for a couple of years and have always had spotty Wi-Fi signal on my deck (but it's been flawless within my home). My brother just gave me an extra WRE54G v3 which he no longer uses. So... I was wondering:
- Can I use the WRE54G with my WRT150N?
I've been reading on this for hours and I've come to the conclusion that "no" is the answer since my WRT150N is not a "WDS-based product." Is this final determination correct?
The one great thing that I have going for me is that I already have a very long Ethernet cable running from my WRT150N all the way out to my deck (so that I can plug my laptop directly into the network when I am on my deck, due to Wi-Fi not being strong).
I was hoping that I would then not have to rely on WDS to use the WRE54G. Is there a way to set the WRE54G up so that instead of being a "repeater," it acts as an "access point?" I was thinking that I could plug the WRE54G into the aforementioned Ethernet cable and use the Wi-Fi capability of the WRE54G to connect my laptop and iPhone to my LAN.
Is there a way? Thanks so much!

Yes the WRE54G is not compatible with WRT150N Router. You cannot setup WRE54G in an AP mode as it doesn't have that option to do it. May be you need to get an Access point which will do that work for you.

I just bought a new iMac and now I am trying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don't have a Mini DisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don't have. Is there any way to connect this two mac's anyway??

Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system. 10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines. Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist. There are no Firewire to USB cables.

Can I connect my old mac to my new mac using the thunderbolt to ethernet adapter

I've got a lot of data to transfer from one mac to another, one with thunderbolt and one without. I was wondering if by using the thunderbolt to ethernet adapter I could connect the two macs in a target mode kinda way.
I know people will answer with a lot of other options in how to do this, but I am specifically interested in whether or not this option is possible.
Thanks!

you can use the adapter with any Thunderbolt-equipped Mac running OS X Lion 10.7.4 or later, but you'll want to install the Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2.1 after having the 10.7.4 upgrade

The Mini-DVI to DVI adapter is designed for the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4 — allowing you to connect to an external DVI monitor. It can also be used in combination with the Apple DVI to ADC adapter to support older Apple flat panel Studio or Cinema Displays.

Composite is analogue with one connector. That is why it is called composite
Component is analogue with three connections. I think one for each color
Here is the one for component. I misread composite for component

Hi there Rlong50,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

Every Mac Mini has a USB port. Every Mac Mini can run iTunes. The only catch is that you need to be running Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) or later. So in general, yes, an iPad can connect to a Mac Mini.

Can I open these two database simultaneously on a same system?

I have cloned the current database using Oracle EM Clone tool on a same WinXP system. Can I open these two database simultaneously on a same system? If can, How can Iogin to another database(cloned database)?

You should be able to start both databases if you did the cloning correctly.
EM use RMAN duplicate to clone database. It's basically created a AUXILIARY database and duplicate target database into it.
You must enter destination global name and instance name before proceed. What's instance name you entered?
set your ORACLE_SID to that instance name and login.

How can I get these two results in two different columns?

SELECT COUNT(attr_id)
FROM pv_attribute
WHERE port_id = 322;
SELECT COUNT(attr_id)
FROM pv_attribute
WHERE port_id = 323;

So Jens made a tiny mistake with the column name... shame you couldn't be bothered to research Pivoting so you could have corrected the mistake (possibly it was deliberate *{:-) ) and learnt something.
with pv_attribute as (select 16123 attr_id, 322 port_id from dual union all
                      select 16123 attr_id, 322 port_id from dual union all
                      select 19223 attr_id, 322 port_id from dual union all
                      select 11193 attr_id, 323 port_id from dual union all
                      select 13163 attr_id, 323 port_id from dual)
-- end of test data setup
select sum(decode(port_id, 322, 1, 0)) cnt_322,
       sum(decode(port_id, 323, 1, 0)) cnt_323
from   pv_attribute
where port_id in (322, 323)

How can I combine these two DAQ tasks???

I am using LabVIEW 11, Windows XP, cDAQ-9174 chassis, two NI-9205 modules.
Please see my code for reference. I am very new so i will accept all suggestions.
I am acquiring 12 volatage signals in a producer/consumer structure giving me a queue of 1-d array of waveform(dbl). Then I am acquiring 12 voltage signals in another loop giving me 2-d array of waveform(dbl).
There is an issue creating the channels. How can I combine these two tasks?
Thanks,
~Chris

Hello chrisbe723,
When you say that there is an issue creating the channels, are you getting a specific error message when running your code? Also are you referencing the same set of channels for the two DAQ task you are configuring?

Not that I know. S&T pricing only applies to verified institutions. Could well be that you may need to fill out a paper with whatever governmental authority is responsible on the planet you live, but otherwise you're just a private business like any other and would most likely deduct the expenses from your tax bill...
