Can't use ipod and external HD anyon imac g3 after using it on intel mac...

hi, i've recently bought a intel imac and it has (what else) tiger on it. My girlfriend has an old g3 imac with jaguar on it. Today I connected my ipod to the old g3 imac (because i needed some files, about 10gb) and it didn't appear in finder or in itunes.
After trying some stuff, like resetting and retrying, etc., I went home to get my external HD and again, when i plugged it in, it didn't appear in finder. Strange, because before I had my new computer, the ipod and the HD were connected to the g3 imac all the time and on the intel imac, they still work perfect.
Then, I went to disk-utility and it recognised my HD but when i tried to activate the external HD from there, nothing happened. No error, no message, nothing.
But (and as we say in Belgium, now comes the ape out of the sleeve) when i clicked repair (in disk utility), it said that i didn't have the permissions to activate it...
--it was something like cannot activate dev/disk/blablabla dont have permission something something...
Could it be that my new computer has put some sort of protection on my ipod and external HD? and how can I remove that protection?
Or is there another solution for this strange and dark mystery??????

I have 2 ipods, both would not work on G3 iBook once connected to an Intel iMac. Took me a long time on the phone to Apple to figure this one.
It seems to be a conflict with the 'volume format' of the ipod. Plugging it into an Intel will change the format to 'Mac OS extended (journaled)' for some reason my G3 would not recognise it then. To fix it I plugged ipod to the Intel and went to disk utility. Select the ipod (hopefully you can activate it). Go to the Erase menu and change the volume format to 'Mac OS extended'.
It should stay on that format and work on both computers.
Hope it works

    All ISP-provided equipment is junk. You could get a decent router and connect it to the Verizon router in bridge mode. It should cost about $ 30.

  • Ipod hp.. can you use it on a mac computer?

    Im going to buy a new computer soon, and i was considering a mac. my only question is if my ipod hp version will work on a mac. any info would help, thanks.

    Then when you get your Mac you will need to download the Mac version of the iPod software updater, and run it to restore your iPod to Mac format. You can then use it on the Mac. Note that this will erase the music on your iPod.

  • Why won't iTunes recognize my internet connection so that i can restore my ipod and iphone?

    iTunes will not recognize my internet connection so that I can restore my ipod and my iphone. Please help!!!!

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Can't use Back to my Mac on OS X Lion

    Hi,
    I have upgraded both my MacBook Pro and iMac 27" to OS X Lion, and set up everything as suggested for the iCloud, but I still can't use Back to my Mac function.  In fact, on the macbook pro, I can't even see the shared sidebar (after trying several suggestions from the communities from 2008).  And on the iMac, I can see the shared sidebar, but there is no option for Back to my Mac.  I sware I've ticked Back to my Mac on the Finder's preferences, and everything apparent from the iCloud.
    It'd be great if someone can point me to the right direction.  Thanks!
    Cheers,

    Carolyn,
    After clicking your link, I think the solution described therein may work -- however, I brought my MBP to the Genius Bar and gave it to them the next 24-48 hours so they could run diagnostic tests, so I am not able to experiment with your solution.  I will say this, though: while I was still trying to fix it myself, I DID get the "Allow me to use my Apple ID to reset my account password" checkbox, which I checked, and on the next screen where it lists my various User Accounts (mine, and Guest), I clicked on mine, typed the password (and every conceivable other password I could possibly think of), but nothing worked.  Then, when it gave me my security question and gave me a link to "Reset my password," no other window popped up to allow me to perform the reset.
    All in all, I'm fairly convinced this is a hardware issue, not a software issue.  My system recognizes my HD sometimes, but not others. Perhaps there is something wrong with the cable connecting the HD to the logic board.

    can i use a 60 watts mac charger for an i.book G4    

    I use a 65 watt for both a G4 iBook and a G4 Powerbook. The 60 watt would just be a little slower. I assume it is not an Apple charger as a 60 watt  is not listed in the linked article.

  • What software can I use on my new Mac that no longer supports "AppleWorks"? To easily transfer my database for mailmerge.

    What software can I use on my new Mac that no longer supports "AppleWorks"? To easily transfer my database for mailmerge.

    Two thoughts:
    (1)     It is possible that your Adobe software was the result of belonging to a now-discontinued Adobe Print Service Provider program where for a certain annual membership fee, print service providers were provided with (a) both a Windows and Macintosh license to the Adobe print-oriented software products (such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat) and (b) special direct product support as well as the ability to put your name on Adobe's website as a member of this program. The program ended over a year ago if I remember correctly.
    (2)     You may wish to contact Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support) and see if they can track down any and all licenses associated with your company. If you have the names of the former employees who worked with this software, it would be helpful. Likewise, if you were a member of the discontinued Adobe Print Service Provider program, you may have some options for upgrading/updating the software you have.
    Unfortunately, you cannot get any more definitive information about your situation on these forums.
    Good luck.

  • Can i use my iPad, iPhone, Mac with 2 independant iCloud accounts (private, business) simultanuously ? How ?

    can i use my iPad, iPhone, Mac with 2  iCloud accounts (private, business) simultanuously ? How ?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes you can do that, however you can only have one primary account. You will need to set one account up as a secondary account and choose which account you wish to do this with, since you can only use mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders with a secondary account.
    On your Mac, you would enter the account at system preferences> mail, contacts & calendars, on your mobile device you would enter your account at settings> mail, contacts, calendars.

  • Can I upload photos and mini vids from iMac to iCloud

    I have this collection of photos from my iPhone and iMac and a couple of videos via iMac of my dead mum.
    I want all this on the iCloud thing I am suppossed to have . Can I do this  to the 5 gigs they say I have.
    Will this be permanent?
    Can I erase my Imac and reinstal the OS due to problems and then get that stuff back on my computer as well.
    The photo library and the vids are the only thing i want to keep from an erase disk thingy.
    How do I do the uploads to iCloud .
    I have an account it shows in my iPhoto thing.
    Please help with anything i need to do.

    Then let me get this straight, for I'm obviously here because I don't know.

    iCloud is not a backup system for your Mac.
    Get an external drive and store the photo's there.

    If your Mac goes kablooey anything that is currently on iCloud's servers will remain there and can be accessed with an unkablooey'd Mac, PC  or IOS device
    Which has me now thinking even though iCloud is not a back up system for my iMac it will
    have the photos in my photostream remain there if my iMac was to be erased and i could INDEED access them again , and all would be well in FunBoo Land.
    So it's not a back up system but it will save photos and little vids made from my iPhone and uploaded to my iMac and then uploaded to iCloud.
    So even though it will not be backed up but as you said these photos will be saved on iCloud  i ask you again .
    How do i, with a little i,upload photos and little vids to icloud properly?
    There is a share option which is also confusing me.
