Can you ethernet and transfer files between a iMac G3 and a intel iMac

Looking for a little assistance and suggestions.
I'm trying to transfer files (jpegs and Word documents) from an older iMac G3 running OS 9.2 to a new iMac (intel) running Tiger (10.4). What use to be a pretty easy process of plugging in an ethernet cable between iMacs and turning on file sharing isn't working this time around. I called Apple support and they couldn't locate anyone who was available this past weekend who knew OS 9.2. So I'm hoping someone in the discussion group might have an idea. Thanks.

Thanks very much Jan, I'll give that a try. It's a great resource, too. The info provided under http://homepage.mac.com/car1son/os9xnet_nfilesharing.html
is very helpful. I actually had most of it in place with what's shown but missed a couple of things with the IP address. But I was close. I won't be able to try it again for a few more days but if it works I'll post back to this discussion and let you know how it went.
And Duane, good suggestion, too. I don't have access to another external hard drive but I expect it would be a lot easier, as you suggest, to simply plug in the drive and download files between machines.
Thanks again.
Dennis

  • How do I transfer files between my iMac and my MacBook Pro using an ethernet cable (not with AirPort)?

    Even though I connect my computers with an ethernet cable the files are still being transferred wirelessly.  I can tell because the transfers (usually around 4GB) take a few minutes with AirPort off, but 30 minutes to an hour with AirPort on.  I want to transer the files and still have AirPort on since I work on both computers at the same time and want to maintain the connection to the internet.

    Be sure Ethernet is listed first in System Prefs > Network.
    If it isn't, click the "gear" icon and select Set Service Order.

  • Can you help me transfer music between libraries on my home network?

    I am able to see libraries on different machines on my home network but cannot share music files. 'Help' says to use the Show menu at the bottom of the iTunes window, choose 'items not in my library'......
    I do not see the Show menu.

    First make sure you have Home Sharing turned on. This won't work if you only have Library Sharing turned on. Read my post in the thread I've linked to below to learn the difference between Home Sharing, Library Sharing and how to enable them.

    Now, once you've enabled Home Sharing go to my post in the link I've posted below. Find the one with the screenshot. It will show you the different parts of a window so you how to import media from another computer using Home Sharing. Notice the Show menu in the screenshot.

  • Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same macbook pro?

    Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same MacBook Pro?
    Specifically, I used the Migration Assistant to move music and photos from my old PC to my new MacBook. 
    Somehow, I missed the fact that it was creating a new user account when it was doing this.  So none of music and photos are in the user account I originally set-up.  Instead, all these files are now in a different account.
    I'd like to consolidate all my files on the one user account and delete the other one.
    Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?
    Thank you.

    you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has.  Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
    I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

  • My iPad 3 is not charging on my macbook pro mid-2012. It was working yesterday and it is not working now, and I'm trying to transfer files between them. How do I charge my iPad with my macbook without having to be a completely new computer?

    I am trying to transfer files between my ipad 3 and my macbook pro mid-2012 and they will just not connect. I connected them yesterday and it worked fine. And i can not air drop these files into my ipad it has to be done through itunes. And i can not afford to buy a new computer. How do i get these two to connect without having to buy a completely new computer?

    Computer USB ports, regardless of the computer maker, have a relatively low power output and thus are not good chargers. They will charge but it takes a long time. You should be charging your iPad from wall power, or a more powerful source like an in-car charger.
    Buying another computer will not change that.

  • Transfer files between ASA and a host across a VPN

    Hello Guys,
    I have a Remote Access VPN between an ASA and a Windows PC, the issue that I'm seeing is that I can't transfer files between the ASA and my PC across the VPN.
    The first time I thought that because the size of the file and some issue with my ADSL service bandwidth could be the problem. However, I tried to copy the running config of the ASA to my PC and is also impossible. I received this error:
    ASA# copy running-config tftp:
    Source filename [running-config]?
    Address or name of remote host []? 10.10.10.2   ----> This is the address of my PC over the VPN tunnel
    Destination filename [running-config]? ASA-Config04032014
    Cryptochecksum: f5a9f8cb 9f63b2e5 e8c99e36 9498cb50
    %Error writing tftp://10.10.10.2/ASA-Config04032014 (Timed out attempting to connect)
    Does anybody had this kind of problem before?
    Thanks in advance,

    I was wondering if I transfer files between a PC and Mac via Ethernet cable can I reverse the transfer from a Mac to a Pc?
    Yes. Start Windows File Sharing on the Mac and then access it on the PC.

  • I just received an OEM copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 with my Canon Pixma Pro 100 Printer.  What exactly is OEM.  Is it a full version?  Can I transfer files between different computers?

    @

    OEM means "Original Equipment Manufacturer", or in your case, Canon (not Adobe) is providing the software. It is identical to what you can buy from Adobe. It is the full version (that's the only version of Lightroom that exists)
    Transfer files between different computers ... this is not a function of Lightroom. Lightroom neither helps nor prevents you from transferring files from one computer to another.

  • How long can you share a folio file for and how many people simultaneously

    Hi There,
    Questions per above title, can you share a folio file via the content viewer for an unlimited time?  How many people could you share it with simultaneously?
    As well I am trying to understand do you have to pay for DPS (and if so can it just be the single version) to be able to share a .folio file through the content viewer.  Can you just have in design 5.5+.
    In addition, if the .folio file is set up for Ipad distribution when shared will it be formatted and fully usable/interactive through the content viewer by the person you are showing it to on the ipad?
    Any help is appreciated.

    You do not need to pay to share a folio file via the content viewer.
    I'm not aware of any limits on how long a folio can be shared to, or how many e-mails a folio can be shared to.
    And yes, on the interactivity question.

    I want to create an app.  Can you tell me the difference between iOS developer program and the mac developer program?
    Is the difference the device you're creating your app on, or for?

    iOS Developer Program is only for those who wish to develop iDevice apps. Mac program is for those only developing Mac applications. If you wish to do both, then you need to enroll in both programs.

  • HT201471 Sorry can you explain what is difference between cellular and cellular (MM)

    Sorry can you explain what is difference between cellular and cellular (MM)

    The MM or Millenium Media according to what I can find, refers to the CDMA variation of the Cellular iPad for Verizon Networks.
    The non MM version is for GSM carriers like AT&T.

  • Can you have a DIAdem file embedded in a web app and then when you click the link to the DIAdem file it invokes DIAdem?

    Can you have a DIAdem file embedded in a web app and then when you click the link to the DIAdem file it invokes DIAdem?

    Hello JCN,
    I will keep in touch with the current Applications Engineer who will be assisting you with this issue and update the forum with the status of the problem. I personally think that your best option would be to create a link that opens DIAdem and then runs a script to load the data from a predetermined file (Rather than a link to the file itself).

    Can you launch and close a Microsoft Word Document from inside your Captivate 8.01 project?
    Thank you, L

    You can launch it as long as the server has the mime/type, especially if a docx.
    Doubt that you can close it.
