Can I get my G4 to mount on a mac mini?

I have a G4 Desktop [PCI-graphics model] with 17 inch CRT monitor & G4 iBook. A router for my Broadband & use Ethernet file sharing between them.
I want to buy a Mac Mini & use my G4 desktop like an external Hard dive to the Mac Mini linked to my monitor [or get a new monitor]. But I don't want two monitors.
I can use a Firewire cable between the G4 Desktop & iBook by holding down the T-Key on my iBook [Target Disk Mode] but cant do it the another way around. I cant hold down the T-Key on my G4, because nothing happens. I look on apple website, and found out that my model, G4 PCI-graphics is not supported for Target Disk Mode.
How could I use Ethernet file sharing with only one monitor. Anyone got any ideas how to mount the G4 on a mac mini without getting a extra monitor?

Hello,
Yes, you can share your disk drive and screen; you can even control the G4 from the Mini.
The best solution (which costs money) is to purchase Apple's Remote Desktop; the second, (free but not as good) solution is to download a program called Chicken of the VNC (google for it).
Hope this helps!

Can't get iPod music on to my new Mac mini

My PC recently died on me with all my music, so I decided to buy a Mac mini. Can't seem to figure out how to get my music from my iPod onto my new computer, though. Any ideas?

I use yamipod to do this. There are other programs that do it but I like this one.

HT1237 Where can I get firmware updates for a Mid 2007 Mac mini (Macmini2,1)?

The model for some reason is taken off of the firmware update support page. I found an archive of the page from 2011 and there seems to have been an update. My current SMC Version is 1.19f2 and the update was 1.3f4 but the strange thing is that when I follow the link to download it forwards me to the late 2009 model page. Any help would be appreciated. I'd look across the internet but I'm not comfortable download firmware upgrades from a 3rd party site.
Much thanks
Edit: I found that the mid 2007, late 2006 and early 2006 use the same SMC firmware and realized that both the link from the archived page and the link for the late 2006 model on apple's page all linked to the early 2006 firmware update. I'm going to try it. If you want me to update with results reply, otherwise consider this dead...

Good moves methinks, & it is strange how they list it, here's my 2007 iMac...
Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
SMC Version (system): 1.21f4
Here's my 2005 G5...
Boot ROM Version: 5.2.7f1
So it appears it probably is nineteen!

You don't.
No iOS device will mount as a hard drive.

I think I goofed when running disk utility, and unmounted at the end and restarted. Now I can't get the disk to mount. What am I missing?

Which disk won't mount? What version of OS X? Your post is impossible to answer with no useful information.

Hi,
Is there an iPhone involved ?
If not, what happens if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?

I have a Yamaha RX-V673 which is Airplay enabled, but i can't get Airplay to work either on my Mac book or my iphone. The receiver is connected to my network and i can control it using the iphone App and via the web browser option.
Do I need Apple TV or to change some settings somewhere?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

You are making some progress with setup of wireless network. Apparently there is reliability problem with the wireless connection. Perhaps you want to refer to following Apple support documents and start tweaking parameters in the router to improve the reliability. I used to have third-party routers such as Belkin and Netgear but switched to Apple Airport routers (Time Capsule then Airport Extreme for now) because of incompatibility issues whenever Apple upgrade Mac OS X. But since Apple develops Airplay protocol as alternative to Bluetooth for wireless audio/video streaming (with much better bandwidth) and must be deployed in any wireless network, there is no reason third-party routers not working for Airplay protocol.

Jailbreaking violates the Apple warranty and licensing agreement and voids ALL support from Apple. No one on here can help you as doing so is a violation of the Terms of Use of these Communities. If you send the iPad to Apple they will just send it back to you as they are not permitted to work on a machine that has been jailbroken.

How can i get a usb cable on my i mac Gs i want to know how to do it
is there any directions to help me out. Thanx

Well, you posted this question in the iMac forum and since you do not have your system info listed in your signature, we all assumed that you were asking about an iMac - not an eMac. That's why out pics do not make any sense.
Yes, the eMac has USB ports also. They are the second, third, and fourth ports back from the front - the ones after the small circular headphone style jacks.
