Connecting G5 to Mac Pro

Greetings!
I currently have a Mac Pro running OSX 10.6.4 and a Power Mac G5 running OSX 10.4.11. I am attempting to connect the two on a network.
The Mac Pro is connected to router via ethernet cable. The G5 is connected wirelessly via Airport Express.
The Mac Pro hard drive shows up fine on my G5. However, I can't seem to get the G5 hard drive to show up on the Mac Pro. I have checked the IP address, file sharing is on and seem to be doing everything I'm supposed to in order to make it work. Is there something I am missing?

So they both have to either be wireless or connected via ethernet cable?
No, that is not correct.
Can't have one and not the other?
Yes, you can have one wired and one wireless.
IF your wireless Mac is on a WEP, WPA, WPA-2 protected Network, you will be asked for the password when you first venture onto the wireless part of the Network to talk to the computer there. If you work from the wireless end, you have already entered the password, so no new demand for the password will occur.
I wanted to be certain you understood where the new demand for password was coming from, and which password was being asked for.

    Hi there Rlong50,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • My airport extreme is working but will not connect to my mac pro

    my airport extreme is working and all other devices connect except my mac pro computer,  How do I resolve this problem?

    Hi fdrussell,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Were your Airport Extreme and Mac Pro communicating earlier?  If so, what changed?  
    First try shutting down the computer, and recycling the power to the Airport Extreme.  Then start the Mac Pro and see if that resolves the issue.  
    If needed, perform a Hard reset of the Airport Extreme:

  • Can iMac 27 late 2009 enter TDM connected to a Mac Pro late 2013?

    I'm trying to get an iMac 27 late 2009 to enter target display mode when connected to a Mac Pro late 2013.
    I tried with Apple's Thunderbolt cable and pressing Command + F2 on the iMac did nothing.
    So I bought a Mini DisplayPort cable, and now Command + F2 makes the iMac's screen turn black for a second and then back.
    After rebooting, before logging in, if I press Command + F2 it actually works for about 2 seconds and then back to the iMac's screen. After this, if I keep trying it just flashes black.
    So, my question is, has anyone managed to connect this two devices?
    Should I buy another cable? Format the iMac? Any suggestions?
    Thanks for the help.
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 on both machines.

    Thanks for your help.
    I don't know what more I can add to the initial post.
    The second Mini DisplayPort cable that I tried is Belkin, I don't think there are better cables for this, since Apple is not selling it anymore.
    I did mentioned that if I restart the iMac, before logging in with any user, pressing command + F2 or simply connecting the cable will actually work, it shows up as a second display on the Mac Pro, I can move the mouse pointer on the iMac. But after about 2 seconds the iMac exits Target Display Mode, and after this pressing Command + F2 will only turn iMac's monitor black for about a second and not entering TDM anymore.
    I even checked the firmware versions and both are up to date according to this.

  • Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme..

    Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme.

    This will work.....IF....you also have an Apple AirPort router configured to provide your wireless network.
    In other words, you need to have two Apple AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "extend" the wireless of the "main" AirPort, it will provide more wireless coverage and the Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect your Mac Pro to any of the Ethernet ports and use that as a network and Internet connection.

  • Problems printing to printers connected to a MAC pro from a Windows Laptop

    Folks,
    I got a MAC PRO a couple of weeks ago and I have two USB printers (an EPSON CX 4200 and a CANON S900 connected to it).
    I tried both Ifelix's procedures to add the printers connected to the MAC and I had problems with both procedures.
    If I try the http://mac-ip:631/printers/printer-name I am successful in adding the printer to the Laptop running windows XP however when I try to send something to that printer the job goes straight to the "completed" queue on the MAC and nothing prints at all. I used the respective windows drivers for each printer on the XP Laptop.
    I spent two hours with Apple support on the phone and they could not figure out what was going on and suggested that I post my issue to this forum to see if anybody has any ideas.
    I also tried to configure the printers using Bonjour (as per Ifelix's documented method) but at some point during the printer setup I get an error message indicating that I do not have "sufficient access" to install the printer driver even though I am logged in as admin on the windows XP computer.
    Has abybody experienced similar pain? Is anybody here being able to print to printers connected to a MAC PRO from a Windows XP laptop?
    I should also say that my computers are in a network and both are connected to a Linksys Wireless Access point/router.
    The Laptop is a wireless laptop and the mac pro is conneced to the linksys router via a regular network cable.
    Also, I have no issues printing straight from the mac to both printers.
    Would appreciate any suggestions/comments.
    Thanks in advance for your time.
    regards,
    marcelo

    What risks does that imply?
    Well, it implies that the battery is not user serviceable, which it is not. However, your warranty has already been effectively voided by the spill. So, you don't have that much to lose. As I already said though, there are risks inherent in cleaning any electronic equipment with any sort of liquid. The safer route is definitely to take the machine in for repair, as eww says.
    And for the Q-tips, when I opened the machine, it seemed really complicated to unmount or access parts with Q-tips.
    Unfortunately, it is complicated. It's not something to undertake unless you are comfortable with it. And it can never be guaranteed that it will actually be clean because there are many spaces that you'll never be able to clean. I should perhaps emphasize that I would only clean the machine myself if there was no chance of being able to pay for repairs. It is sort of a last-ditch option to attempt to avoid the cost of repairs. Nothing is guaranteed though and you may have to pay for repairs anyway.
    Wouldn't it be better to just let it bath in the distilled water, wait a few minutes and then let it dry?
    Definitely not. If you do that you can forget about the machine ever working again, at all.
    do you think there is hope that once cleaned, everything would work again ?
    It is doubtful. Like I said, if paying for repairs are not an option, then you should consider at least attempting to clean it. Otherwise, you should have the top case replaced (new keyboard and trackpad).

  • Problem connecting to new Mac Pro with USB

    I have a new late 2013 Mac Pro 6 core with 64GB RAM and a 1 TB SSD. I use a Thunderbay IV Thunderbolt drive bay and a Newertech Voyager for external storage and backup. The Thunderbay works perfectly. When I place a 4TB drive with a couple of TB of data (photos) into the Voyager, it appears as an empty 1.8TB drive. If I take the exact same drive and place it into the Thunderbay via Thunderbolt, it sees it as 4TB, sees the data, and seems to have no problem. If I ask disk utility to verify the disk in the Voyager, I get this message "Error: Partition map check failed because no slices were found." This happens regardless of which of the 4 USB ports I connect it to. Basically the drive will boot just fine in the Thunderbay, (Thunderbolt) but not in the Voyager (USB). I initially thought the Voyager was at fault, but this has happened with both a brand new S3 USB3 unit as well as my older Voyager Q USB 2 unit. I can connect a USB 3 card reader with no apparent problems as well as my iPhone, iPad, and two Epson printers. I am thinking that there is some problem with the USB connections in the Mac Pro but would appreciate any thoughts.

    You got me curious so I dug further. We weren't alone in that problem. See this Apple discussion. And this review mentioned the 2TB limit as did this one. We both were the victims of progress. I remember when a 40MB HD upgrade was a big and expensive deal for an SE-30.

  • Can't connect my 2009 Mac Pro to HDMI with an AMD Radeon HD 7870

    That's the basic jist.  I recently purchased an early 2009 3.33 GHz Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.5.  Installed was an AMD Radeo HD 7870 2048 MB graphics card, which has an hdmi port.  I'm able to connect a display via the mini-DVI output, but when connecting through the HDMI input on either my moniter (22" ViewSonic VX2270SMH-LED) or my tv (a 32" LG LED TV) there's no signal.  When I plug the hdmi from the computer into one of the tv's two hdmi ports, it recognizes a device and asks to switch over.  When I do, it tells me there's no signal.
    Again, my specs:
    Mac Pro Early 2009
    Mac OS X 10.8.5
    3.33 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon

    Help!
    Many thanks.

    To have your Mac adjust settings automatically, a display must answer with its name and capabilities when the Mac sends a query. The Mac sends such queries:
    • at Startup,
    • when you click the ( Detect Displays ) button [ try holding down Alt/Option key while viewing System Preferences > Displays] or
    • when your Mac awakes from sleep.
    So first set your display to the appropriate port. Next try a Restart, or Sleep and wake your Mac, or use the ( Detect Displays ) button.

  • Multiple Firewire Connections on a MAC PRO 2008

    Wondering if anyone knows if there are any issues with multiple firewire inputs on a MAC PRO? I will be downloading film footage as well as running a Presonus Inspire for Voice-Overs which also uses a firewire connection to the computer.

    The MacPro comes with 1 FW400 + 1 FW800 ports in the back and 1 FW400 + 1 FW800 ports in the front. They ALL share the same bus.
    You may, or may not, have problems. Some devices play well with others and some don't. For example, AJA STRONGLY recommends you put the io devices on their own bus, canon cameras often will only work when they are on their own bus, and so on.
    I've no idea whether your firewire audio device will conflict with your video tape playback device. If it was me, I could pursue this a couple of ways. 1, contact the audio people and get their recommendation or 2, give it a try and see if it works. If it doesn't, I'd purchase a PCIe firewire card and connect the bus hog to it.
    Good luck,

  • Airport Connection 'Drops' on Mac Pro Running 10.5.6

    I have read the many incidents on this forum of Leopard problems / connection inconsistencies via Airport & a a wireless router.
    It has become almost impossible to sort the wheat out from the chaff with regards to solutions for this problem.
    I have tried the following 'solutions':
    Deleting potentially conflicting / out of date preferences,
    Clearing / deleting caches using Onyx,
    Repairing Permissions,
    Creating a new 'location' in Network Preferences,
    Using Open DNS service
    The connection still drops at least once every hour as detailed in my Bug Report (sent via online form) below:
    Any updates on this? Is there a definitive solution, yet?
    I don't have the option to rollback the operating system with Time Machine... my Time Machine drive failed just before this. Fortunately, all of my documents are backed up elsewhere.
    If you need more info, feel free to ask.
    Thank you!
    Bug Report below:
    Hello,
    I have a Mac Pro (profile copied below).
    I'm running Leopard 10.5.6
    This set-up connects to the internet via a Sky (UK) ADSL wi-fi router (only a matter of months old).
    Since upgrading to 10.5.6 I have been experiencing drops in my internet connection every 5 minutes - 1 hour.
    Drops = the airport signal strength signal drops from 5 to 1 or 2 bars [but doesn't drop to no bars] and the connection 'fails' -- i.e. downloads stop, pages fail to load, I can't access e-mail accounts.
    The connection does reinstate itself, but is much more unstable & from that moment drops much more frequently.
    This wasn't happening until I upgraded to 10.5.6
    I have a MacBook Pro (one of the original models) and that experiences no connection problems at all, connecting to the same router (the MacBook Pro is also running 10.5.6)
    This is incredibly frustrating.
    It has rendered my £2500 system useless for work.
    I need a solution, badly.
    On your own support forums, it appears that there are a number of people suffering similar problems.
    Will you please offer a solution / a fix ASAP.
    If you need any more information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
    Many thanks.

    I had a similar problem which I've fixed!
    I have four machines here which can connect to my Netgear DG834N via Aiport. (I say can because they normally connect via ethernet.) My MacBook Pro always used to be fine when connected wirelessly but recently, not aware of any changes I've made, it connects for about 10 seconds then disconnects. All other machines are fine and hold the connection.
    This is what I tried before finding my solution:
    1) Deleted all references to the network in the keychain and remade them.
    2) Created another user to try
    3) Changed channels on the router even though I can't see any neighbour's networks.
    4) Made sure computer and router were up to date with firmware/software.
    I'm assuming that it has to be a computer problem as the PowerMac, iMac and iPod Touch have no issues at all. However, the cure was in the router.
    I run with SSID broadcast turned off, WPA2 encryption and MAC address filtering. Allowing broadcast of the SSID cures my problem. Turn it off and the computer connects then drops it ten seconds later. Turn broadcast on and it maintains the connection. I've tried it all afternoon, leaving it connected for about 30 minutes at a time before turning SSID broadcast off again. Works every time! Broadcast SSID - fine, no broadcast - drops after ten seconds.
    Now, if only I knew why! And why only the laptop?

  • Can't connect MacBook to Mac Pro (wrong icon!)

    Hi there,
    i'm having some problem when trin to connect my MacBook 13" (Aluminium - Snow Leopard) to my Mac Pro (3,1 - Snow Leopard).
    Mac Pro icon is shown in the finder left column but it shows the Windows PC icon instead of the right one (had this problem even before Snow Leopard).
    When trin to connect to server from Finder this is the message:
    "The server may not exist or it is not operational at
    this time. Check the server name or IP address and
    your network connection and try again."

  • Slow wired and wireless connections on new Mac Pro

    I have a new 6-core Mac Pro with 64GB RAM that I seem to be having major network issues with. When I restart or first switch the machine on it's fine but after a few minutes the network (web browsing) become painfully slow - when I run a speed test it come out at ~2Mbit/s. This is the same whether I connect on a wired or wireless connection. I've tried various connections including a complete bypass of my time capsule to a direct wall connection that should be giving 100Mbit/s. When i run a speed test on my iPhone connected to the time capsule via 5GHz I comfortably get >60MBit/s.
    Is there a bug in the latest OS 10.9.4 my MBAir also seems to require a lot of restarting to keep up even basic web browsing???

    Your Macs are always looking for a better connection. To that end, they are evaluating every possible way to get to the Internet.
    It is very important that you limit those choices to only the ones you actually want to connect to, and indicate that the other are "off the list", literally.
    For example, to test your wired network connection, Ethernet must be at the top of the list AND WiFI must be OFF. (Otherwise, your Mac will be checking WiFi to see if it seems to be getting a better connection over WiFi. In the screenshot below, Ethernet is at the top of the list, so it is likely to be used, but since WiFi is still ON, it may be used instead.
    To check YOUR WiFi connection (and not your neighbors' connections), you need to BOTH check that the "ask to Join new Networks" box is checked:
    and that the Networks you wish to join are shown in the order you wish to join them. All extraneous networks should be removed from this list:

  • HD problem after connecting to new Mac Pro

    Went to our first MUG meeting of the years tonight. And took along my Lacie 500gig firewire external H/D. This was going to be used to demo the new iTunes 7 app. The computer being used was a new Mac Pro duo core intel etc.
    When I plugged the H/d in to the Firewire 400 socket on this machine it would not mount. So sadly the demo would have to wait for another meeting.
    MORE SADLY.... when I returned home and tried to connect it to my 15" iMac it would not mount..... What has happened??
    It is more than obvious to me that my hard-drive has been corrupted by trying to use it with Apples latest entry into the market.
    I have swapped cords Ports etc. The drive does power up when I start the computer and sounds like it is going to mount... Profiler does not show it...
    any help would be appreciated...

    Seems that I have a solution.... It would seem after some troubleshooting that the FireWire 400 port in no longer working.... why? I can only guess. The other FireWire 800 and USB 2 ports are fine.... Thankfully I am still in the warrantee window....
    Let me say that this is the first and only problem I have had with Lacie H/D's....other than ...."Make sure that you initialize it before adding any files to it"... I know it is supposed to be Plug & Play with Mac, But I am betting it will think it is connected to a PC....unless you take the initializing step...

  • Cannot connect between a Mac Pro (late 2013) and a MBP and vice versa

    Cannot connect to Macbook Pro from Mac Pro late 2013. I have tried via ethernet and wifi. I can screen share either way. I have tried to connect to other MBP's on the same network with no luck. I try and connect as a registered user, as I usually do, with no luck. When I enter the Username and then Password the box vibrates as if the details are incorrect, they are definitely correct however.
    I have no firewall on. Both devices are using the most recent OS.
