Connect a new imac to xserve node server 10.5

I have an old xserve cluster node server with an xserve raid attached. I just did a fresh install of my copy of 10.5 server using target disk mode from my old macBook pro running 10.5. I know - vintage stuff.
The server seemed to install correctly, and I was able to run through the setup just fine in target disk mode.
I can ping the server at 192.168.1.66
I can see the xServe Raid through RAID admin.
I can't seem to connect to the server at all. Specifically using the "connect to server", it doesn't appear in the list, or even when I type in the IP or server name I entered during the setup.
HELP! What am I missing?

Hi
Have you actually started any of the File Services yet? AFP, SMB etc. Moreover have you configured any shares? Without either you won't get very far.
HTH?

I am trying to connect my new iMac to my Buffalo router. I forgot my router password, so I reset it and it is working. I can't figure out how to reset my router password and lock it on my iMac.

I am connecting my new iMac to my Buffalo router. I forgot my router password so I pushed the reset button and my computer was able to connect. The problem is, I can't figure out how to set my new password and lock the router. I went to the Buffalo website and downloaded the CD, as I can't find that either. I can't open any of it because it says it is Windows and can't open it. I am new to Apple!

Ah, new to routers too.
Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
To explain everything would require writing a book here.
But this is what you want basically.
Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
(guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
3: Guest access on devices and computers only. Passwords written down and stored.
4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.

Will I Be Able to link / connect the new iMac to a ps3 in HD quality

Will I be able to link / connect the new iMac to a PS3 in HD quality

Not very easily, if at all, since iMacs don't have an HDMI input port.
http://www.apple.com/imac/specs/
Also, any cobbled together solution for connecting a PS3 to an iMac likely will have too much latency between the PS3 controller and what appears on the screen for games to be playable.

Without knowing what you have tried please open System Preferences - Sharing - File Sharing and select File Sharing. If you still have trouble you can call AppleCare in the morning when they re-open. You have 90 days of telephone support if you haven't already bought AppleCare.

Old G5 connect to new iMac

I would like to have access to both computer connect together. Not in target mode, I want to see the HD of my new iMac on the desktop of my G5 and also the Hd from my G5 on my iMac for a few days. Is it possible?

Connect them with an Ethernet cable or wirelessly, start File Sharing from the Sharing pane of System Preferences, and use Connect to Server from the Finder's Go menu.

Officejet 6500 e710n-z cannot connect to new iMac Mavericks 10.9.5

I"ve had the Officejet al in one for a year or more now and it has worked fine connecting well to my old Macbookair (10.5.8) with few problems printing wirelessly. Since getting a brand new Imac with spanking new software I cannot connect. There seems to be no printer drivers in the imac so I downloaded the full HP suite. Still using
system prefs>
printers and scanners>
add printer
nothing appears. Not recognised. At all. Updated OS. REbooted printer. Reconnected to network router (BT Home hub5) form scratch. Only recognised when I attached it to USB, but as soon as I unplugged it was 'offline' despite both imac and OJ being connected to same network router. Can you help...? Your helppages simply direct me to go through the steps referred to above ie how to 'add' a new printer in the OS system prefs (which I can't as it simply does not show up unless connected by wire, which defeats the object...).
Thanks
Trevor P

Hi @trevorpick , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're running into printing issues. I would like to help.
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend readding the printer via OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
Once it is readded to your system, I would recommend this document on Wireless printing center Troubleshooting Issues.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Connecting a new iMac to a telly

Hi all,
The college I work at is going over to Mac from PC editing systems. What's the cheapest way to connect a new intel iMac to a television so that you can monitor video editing in Final Cut? (I don't want to go via a camcorder).
Thanks,
Sean

Hello Sean
For televisions, projectors or VCRs that use S-video or composite video connectors, use the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter (M9319G/A) and a S-Video or Composite (yellow RCA) cable.
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore/?productLearnMore=M9 319G/A
It is best to run that type of setup in Extended Desktop, running in Mirror mode "monkey's up" the iMac's display resolution.
See "Resolutions" in the following link:

Trouble Connecting to new iMac computers

Hey Everyone,
We have been using remote desktop for the past few years. We currently have version 3.4.
We recently purchased a classroom of new iMacs running 10.6.7. We named and set them up for Remote Management, and allowed access and managed the options to observe, control, generate reports etc.... Like we have for all our other machines.
I can see these new machines on my ARD scanner, but can not control them.. I can't enter the admin user name and password under info.. it is all grayed/blanked out:
This is only happening on my new machines.. We have other 10.6.7 iMacs running fine, without this issue.
Any ideas? Our machines are assigned IPs through a DNS Server.
Thanks so much for any advice.
-Vicky

Are the new workstations on a different subnet from workstations that are working correctly in ARD? If so, it's possible that the router is blocking the ports needed for ARD to work (3283 and 5900) for that subnet. You might need to talk to your school's network administrator about that.
Regards.

Connecting a new iMac duo and iMac DVD SE

I've just bought a new iMac duo and would like to find out how to connect my old iMac DVD SE wirelessly. I phoned the local apple store and they were totally unhelpful and told me I can no longer buy an airport card for my old imac and could provide me with no alternative solution.
I have upgraded my broadband to the BT Home Hub and would like to connect the 2 macs to the internet and possibly share a printer.
I'd appreciate any advice on where to start with this.
Janet
iMac DVD SE Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hello,
Option 1. According to BT's site the Home Hub has two Ethernet ports. If you have the luxury you could move teh hub next to the iMac DV and connect it with the supplied Ethernet Cable.
Option 2. Ethernet over mains. Not wireless, but uses your home mains wiring to transfer data (at 85Mbps it's much faster than Airport) so you won't have wires trailing around the home.
Option 3. Wireless Ethernet Bridge these are widely available and convert and Ethernet connection to a WiFi/Airport one.
Option 4. USB based adaptors are limited to 12Mbps (USB1.1 speed) and have generally poor support on the Mac.
Option 5. Airport cards are regularly available (with the required iMac DV adaptors) on eBay.co.uk but they demand a high price.
Hope that helps.

Generation 4 iPod Connection to new iMac intel core 2 duo

Okay, first of all heres all my technical information:
-new iMac Intel Core 2 Duo
-Gen 4 iPod, non color diplay
-running iTunes 7.0.2
-sadly, no iPod power brick(although i think i need it to solve the problem)
Okay, now to the problem, I tried to connect the iPod to my new iMac, and it worked after leaving it alone for 15 minutes. It is formated to windows and i wanted the music to stay on it, so i disconnected it. Afterward i just thought, screw it, and connected it hoping to restore it, but it never showed up in iTunes or the finder. I thought this was odd, then i looked at the iPod and it displayed a image of a iPod power brick going into an outlet. i havent been able to get to the apple store and thought there must be an easier way to do this, so i went to get the old install disc for my iPod that came with it. Hoping this would finally work, i tried to run the package installer for the iPod to install the drivers, and it displayed(after it evaluated my comp) "Cannot be installed on this computer, missing Mac OSX Networking Update" I've looked all over the Downloads area of the Apple site and havent been able to find it. Can someone please help me!?!

I have the new 24" flat screen imac and a new IPOD video. I was using the ipod on an old mac with 10.4 and it was working ok with a few sync issues. But when I tried it with the new mac I get very bad results. Itunes hangs and I need to do a hard power reset. Then the ipod once hung up and I had to do a restore on my old mac. Still have not successfully used the ipod with the new mac.
my system is the following
Machine Name: iMac

Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz

My modem has a USB connection - how do I connect to new iMac

I'm so frustrated. I'm writing this on my G4 PowerBook, which is connected to the internet using a broadband dsl modem. This connects to the machine through a usb port. On my desk is a brand new iMac but I can't get it connected through a usb port. The internet connection setup seems to require me to use the ethernet port but my modem can't connect to it. Is there a way to connect using usb or do I need a new modem. If so, what do I need - I'm in the UK.
Please help me someone.

Hi Magpie Mike,
Welcome to the forum.
My strong recommendation would be to throw away the usb adsl modem and invest in an ethernet router. USB ADSL modems require continual driver updates and are the source of many problems, from system freezes, to Kernel Panics and everything in between.
A good router can be picked up for around £50-£60. Alternatively, get in touch with your ISP as they may provide you with one free of charge.
With a router, you'll then be able to connect more than one computer to the broadband connection, dependent on how many ethernet ports are available. You may also want to consider a router with wireless capabilities which would allow you the freedom to move around your home with the PowerBook and connect to the internet, read/send emails etc.

Permanent loss of Internet connection on new iMac - old G3 works fine

After 1 month new iMac won't connect to Internet. (Cable modem/ethernet) All usual procedures tried - powering off modem/unplugging connection etc/rebooting. Network connections show valid addresses etc and modem shows correct lights - even sending/receiving!
Reconnecting old G3 works immediately! So can't be problem with ISP or cable modem.
Any ideas please?

Update for anyone reading the first post.
Solved the problem by archive & install 10.5 and updated again to 10.5.1 and other updates EXCEPT Security Update 2007-009 1.1 which I installed yesterday and coincided with accessing the net problem!
Question - now to install this Security Update?!

Best connection between new iMac and firewire MacBook Pro

Hi I'm running a MBP with Firewire, USB (2?) and Ethernet ports. I am soon to take delivery of my shiny new iMac with Thunderbolt, USB 3 and Ethernet ports. What please would be the fastest connection I can establish between the two machines? Thanks, M

Ethernet is your fastest choice - FW800, to be precise.
To transfer from the MBP to the iMac use Target Disk Mode. Boot the MBP into TDM, boot the iMac normally and preferably for the first time. This will put you into the Setup Assistant and let you migrate data from the MBP - Home folder, third-party applications with support files, and system preferences.
If you prefer not to do a migration then you can also simply transfer selected items using drag and drop.
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
1. Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
2. Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
3. All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
4. Contextual Menu Items
5. Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
6. Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

3. MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
4. MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications

6. Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
7. OS X Lion: How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake
      or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and
       registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your
       desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
a. MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch,
      Late 2008) - What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
b. MacBook Air - Migration Tips and Tricks;
c. MacBook Air - Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and
      wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.
