Cannot connect to G5 in Target mode

I'm trying to connect to my old G5 in target mode - it starts up in target mode OK, but does not mount on my connected Intel Imac. I've checked /volumes, and it's not hiding there. I can connect to my MacBook in target mode fine, so the problem would seem to be with my G5. Also, target mode works fine in the other direction, but this isn't much use to me.

What happens if you try to connect the iMac G5 (in target mode) to the MacBook (instead of the Intel iMac)?
On the iMac G5, have you done a reset PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
and if that does not help, a reset SMU
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1767
which is basically disconnecting the iMac from power (and all cables), then re-connecting it, following a precise procedure. When you reconnect it, leave ALL peripheral devices disconnected, except for your standard USB keyboard/mouse. Then try target mode again, after first starting up normally.

  • Zero Erase time frame via target mode?

    Hi,
    I am currently doing a zero pass erase on my old iMac. It's video card died a death a while ago and I am intending on selling it for parts. It has a 750GB HD with about 500GB of data.
    I have it connected up in firewire target mode to my new iMac and am doing it via that so that I can see what I am doing.
    My question is, it has been running for about five hours now and it is forecast to take another 32 hours. Is this duration to be expected?

    How are you doing this security erase? Are you following this procedure:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    If it's still estimating such a long completion time then it must be caused by doing it in TDM via Firewire.

  • Cannot connect ATV 2.0 (factory restore) to wifi (tried all secure modes)

    Restored ATV to v2.0. ATV sees the wireless network but cannot connect. Have attempted all types of encryption settings:
    1. WPA2-PSK: AES, TKIP and mixed mode
    2. WPA-PSK
    3. WEP 128bit, hex and ascii.
    Using Buffalo Airstation WZR-HP-G300NH, firmware 1.74. Wireless was working fine at current version (3.x?) prior to factory restore using WPA2-PSK. I recall having these same issues on another router when I first got my ATV and finally had to revert to WEP 128bit 26 character hex code to get it to work. Unfortunately, that's not working with this router.
    Ethernet plug is dead, so I can't connect it directly to the network.
    Any ideas?

    Closing this as answered. Went into Apple, they pretty much confirmed that both the wifi and ethernet were dead. It was out of warranty so I just bought a new one.

  • I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

    I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. I can see the HD but the volume part is greyed out. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

    There are other methodologies of scanning a HD
    which involve data extraction, but loss of metadata is often the result if the directory is corrupt.
    Metadata is the info on what the data IS. 
    Like having all your papers thrown in the air, its all there, but just a giant mess. 
    This is why you always always must have several external HD redundancies of your data.  One isnt enough, neither is two really.

    Was that your only copy of your priceless data?  Just that one external HD?

  • Cannot connect to the targeted site in Visual Studio 2012

    Hi,
    I am trying to access SharePoint 2013 "qa" sites from development server. When I try to build Visual studio projects,  I am keep getting this below error.
    "Cannot connect to the targeted site. This error can occur if the specified site is not hosted on the local system. SharePoint solutions work only with locally-installed versions of SharePoint Foundation or SharePoint Server. Remote development is supported
    only for apps for SharePoint 2013."
    I tried to change the host file, with the current machine IP address and all. Not successful on that.
    Highly appreciated, for any helpful points here.
    Cheers, R.

    Try the following 2 options:
    Option 1:
    You can use the following command:
    %STSADM% -o deploysolution -name testSharepointSolution.wsp -local -force
    %STSADM% -o deploysolution -name testSharepointSolution.wsp -local -force
    You cannot use -url parameter if your solution package does not have an assembly or feature specific elements(elements.xml).
    You may ask why we need to provide the -url as a parameter? the reason is sharepoint needs to know which web application web.config it needs to add <SafeControl> attribute.
    Option 2:
    Check your scope of your WSP (Farm, Site etc.). Try to use the powershell command :
    Add-SPSolution -identity [drive-path]\yoursolutionname.wsp
    Install-SPSolution -identity yoursolutionname.wsp -webApplication http://siteaddress -GacDeployment
    Even then, if you get the error, try changing the scope of your WSP to farm if you want your resources to be globally available. If not, change the scope of it to specific web application.

    For others who may be facing the same problem and would like to have a permanent fix, you can download the largest JDBC drivers from http://service.sap.com/msplatforms and refer to note 639702 and if your system is NW7.0 with EHP1 or SR3, you should also refer to note 1109274.

  • Cannot Connect to AE After Coming out of Sleep Mode

    This happens on both my iMac and Powerbook. I don't normally use wireless on the iMac but I discovered that both computers are having the same issue when troubleshooting. When coming out of Sleep mode, the Airport device cannot connect to the Airport Express. The only thing that can consistently connect is my Blackberry.
    I know it's not a reception problem as when I am able to connect, the signal is strong and speeds are very good.
    Some things I have tried to fix the problem have worked but not consistently as the problem keeps happening:
    -Turn Airport off and back on (On the computer)
    -Unplug and plug back in the AE
    -Turn off MAC Address Filtering
    -Factory reset the Airport Express
    -Select the Join Other Network option and re-enter my wpa2 credentials
    -Uncheck Closed Network option
    What could be the problem? I'm really thinking there is a software bug somewhere. I have also noticed if I make any changes in the Airport Utility the AE never recovers as it stays a solid amber. I have to power cycle the device.
    It's using software version 6.3 and all my OS X updates are the latest. This is very frustrating. Any help appreciated.

    I have tried both remedies mentioned above. I double-checked and my network is listed in the wireless advanced settings. It's the only network in my list. Airport is at the top in my Network Preferences as well.
    I was hoping the update to 10.5.8 would help but the problem keeps occurring. One thing I have tried is leaving the "Closed Network Option" unchecked for my AE. Now, I am discovering when exiting sleep mode, I see my network but when it tries to connect, I receive the error "Connection Timeout". This happens on both computers.
    The only thing that works the most consistently is unplugging the AE and plugging back in. Once I'm connected, it works great.
    I tried using iStumbler to see if there were any other networks using the same channel but that looks okay.
    I guess I can try using a different security setting other than WPA2, but then that is not really a solution. I'm about ready to just try some other newer wireless solution. It used to work flawlessly. I think until 10.5.4, I had no issues.

  • Cannot connect to target eHR web site

    I cannot connect to eHR target web site. from my home computer which is running windows 7.
    I get this error message from Chrome
    "Not Found The requested URL /SecurityBrokerage/forms/login.asp was not found on this server."
    This error from IE 10  gives me
    "The webpage cannot be found HTTP 404"
    I get the same error from my laptop that has windows xp IE 8.
    the eHR web site is assessed from this page.
    target.com/spot/team-services#?lnk=fnav_t_spc_1_13
    At work (windows xp IE 8 ) I was able to access the website so I think it is a Verizon problem

    Works for me on Windows 7 and Firefox.
    My guess is that the OP has received an IP address that is defined in a Bogon filter somewhere that identifies that address as a "bad" site. If that is the problem it should be easy to fix, just turn off the router before going to bed and turn it on the next morning, it is very likely that a new IP address with be assigned, and the problem will disappear. It might be a good idea to record the current IP address and then check the new one to make sure it has actually changed.

  • Cannot exit target mode

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    From the above article, I understand that, to exit target mode, you drag the target-mode-icon to trash, or eject.
    I can't do that. The computer says that the disk is still being used.
    Failing that, if I just turn the off-switch on the target-mode computer, the main host computer gives an error message saying that it was improperly disconnected.
    I was running Chronosync to sync the two computers, and after Chronosync was run, I was certain to shut down that program. Hence, I don't understand why it says the target mode computer still was running.
    How do I properly shut down target mode for this situation.
    Here, the host is Leopard 10.5, and the target mode computer is on Tiger 10.4.10.

    I would guess that some process like Spotlight is still running on the target drive. You could check by using the Activity Monitor in your Utilities folder to see if there are any processes that may be working with the drive.
    Meanwhile, do you have the latest version of Chronosync? There's a update for Leopard compatibility. If you'd mentioned the version then I wouldn't have asked.
    If none of the above applies, then I would try to mount the target drive and without running any programs, unmount the drive and see if the problem is Leopard or a bug in Chronosync.

  • Wrong drive appears in Target mode

    Hey guys. I know this is probably something very simple, but I'm trying to restore the drive on my G4. I've previously carbon copied my drive to an extra drive in my G5, as I regularly get weird cache problems on my G4. Now that it's happened again, I want to Carbon copy back from the G5 to the G4, but when I connect in target mode with firewire, I cannot find the primary drive on the G4, only some secondary drive which helps me nothing
    Is it as simple as switching the actual harddrives around/changing the jumpers on the actual harddrives; or is there some setting somewhere that I'm missing?

    Welcome to the Discussions.
