Connecting iMac 24 to PowerMac G5

I would like to know the best way to connect an iMac 24, model A1225 to a PowerMac G5 in order to share files between these two computers. As simple as this seems, my searches turn up very little that I can trust.
The OS on the G5 is OSX 10.3.9 which allows me to run Classic there.

If they are both connected to your internet connection, then you should just need to turn on sharing in the System Preferences.
In the Finder go to Help menu/Mac Help/Index/S/Sharing files and you can read all about configuring your Macs for file sharing.

  • Networking my iMac and Powermac 8600 thru ethernet

    Hi,
    Yesterday I was able to connect my iMac and PowerMac to my Belkin wireless router and then use file sharing to share files plus I could access the internet. My iMac runs OS X 10.3.9 while my PowerMac runs OS 9.2.2. I cant get my PowerMac to do anything anymore. Its reconised by the router but it wont go online, or fileshare.
    Please help!!
    Thanks

    Find the IP of the iMac in system profiler, under network, it should be something like 192.168.1.100 or something like that. Write that down as you will need it for the 8600.
    On the 8600, in 9.2.2. Open the TCP/IP control panel.
    Configure it using manual.
    Based on the iMac's IP number you found ( I'll use the default of 192.168.1.100 for the iMac)
    The 8600 will need the IP of: 192.168.1.101
    The subnet is usually: 255.255.255.0
    The router is sually: 192.168.1.1
    Apple talk must be active on both computers.
    There is an Assist Me at the bottom of the network prefs pane in OSX. It can help you find things automatically, but you need to make sure the 8600 is etherned and has Apple Talk on.
    Good luck

    Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter.  TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices).   It does not show Mail or Safari menus.  System preferences'  display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution.  I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
    In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access.  Is there any way to make this work for us?  We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web.  Do we need Apple TV to do this?  Or is it not possible with our old iMac?  My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor. 
    Thank you

    Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
    There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
    You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
    Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
    If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
    If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time,  you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
    These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
    Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
    Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

  • IMac G5 PowerMac wont boot up

    When I try to boot up iMac G5 PowerMac, it turns on the sleep light, no screen and then all of the fans get into turbo mode. Please help!!

    Is the light blinking in a pattern?
    Fans will come on full speed if no OS is loaded to control them.
    Can you count the beeps or flashes?
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable
    In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
    Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

    Does anything show on screen if you hold alt key at bootup?

  • Connect iMac 2011 as a display for another iMac 2011

    Hello.
    I have two iMac's 2011, and want to use one of them as a display for another.
    Is there any way to do that?
    Best regards,
    Alexey

    Thanx for reply!
    My mistake - one of iMac's is 2010 (iMac11,3).
    According to this doc, there is no way to connect iMac 2010 to 2011 in TDM.
    Maybe there is another way to do that (over ethernet or any other interface)?

  • IMac vs Powermac for FCP

    I am debating between an iMac and PowerMac for FCP editing. I am primarily a shooter but would like to offer editing to clients as well. Don't anticipate anything to graphics or effects intensive. For fairly simple editing does the PowerMac have a huge ($1500) advantage over the top of the line iMac?

    iMac:
    DV, HDV, DVCPRO HD (possibly) and maybe AVCHD only. Those are the ONLY formats you can edit. I say possibly with DVCPRO HD because the ONLY drives you can use on an iMac are firewire drives. Those are fine for DVCPRO HD (Firewire 800 required), but only for working with P2 DVCPRO HD...nothing from tape. You only have one firewire bus, so capturing using that bus for the camera, AND for the drive is sketchy. Will work most of the time, but not all of the time. Forget Uncompressed SD or HD...not gonna work. The ONLY thing you can upgrade is the RAM...that's it. So Motion will work fine, but not optimally with the graphics card already in place.
    Mac Pro: great expandibility
    YOu can install different graphics cards, install capture cards for working with uncompressed HD and SD...and can install eSATA cards for working with faster drives. It comes with 4 internal drive slots, three empty, so that you can install fast drives internally that will work with uncompressed SD and DVCPRO HD and ProRes (ProRes on the iMac will be iffy).
    Mac Pro is a professional machine, and iMac is a consumer machine. If you work with DV and HDV only, and only need firewire drives, it should be fine. But that's about all you can do with it.

  • Can i connect imac and macbook by usb?

    can i connect imac and macbook pro by using USB clable? i just want pass my files and music from macbook to imac.
    thank you

    You can't connect both computers by USB. The easiest way is to connect them using a FireWire cable (if your iMac and your MacBook Pro have got FireWire ports), and put your MacBook in target disk mode (start your MacBook holding the T key).
    Doing this, the iMac will detect the MacBook's hard disk as an external disk, so you can easily access to your files from Finder and copy the data you want to the iMac's hard disk

    In the case of using Target Disk mode between computers, a similar restriction is also present. The adapter will work in Target Disk Mode; however, it will only do so if first plugged into the system before invoking target disk mode so it can be initialized by the firmware.

  • Connecting iMac and MacBook Pro using a non-Apple wireless router

    I use a Belkin wireless router. Is there any way for me to connect iMac and MacBook Pro using the router to share files? I think I read somewhere that I need AirPort Extreme for this, but I'm not sure. Thank you.

    Great resource from Dennis...file sharing, I.e. networking, is a function of the operating system settings and not the brand of router. Using Mac OS X 10.6 on both machines makes it really seamless. Following Dennis's kb article should make the two almost act like one machine.

  • How can i can connect imac 24 pouce and macbook to use the screen of the imac ?

    how can i can connect imac 24 pouce and macbook to use the screen of the imac ?

    You can't. It requires a 2009 or later 27" iMac to use Target Display Mode. You could try using software like ScreenRecycler.

  • Beginner question: Can I create a hybrid home network between an ethernet-connected iMac and an airport connected Macbook Pro using a hybrid router?

    I recently acquired an friend's used iMac, I don't know anything about networks and all I can find is how to create a Wi-Fi home network but nothing about hybrid Ethernet/Wi-Fi networks.
    I have the iMac connected via Ethernet to the wireless router.
    I connect via Airport with my MacBook Pro
    I would appreciate if anyone has any pointers as to how I can start setting up a network between my ethernet-connected iMac and WiFi connected Macbook.
    Thanks!

    ethernet and airport/WiFi are just transmission media for the same network. If you can get internet on both computers, they are networked. Using the same router = same network.
    So now, what is it you want to do? Share files between them?

  • Syncing AppleTV and a connected iMac

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    They will only transfer mac to a synced library, are you sure your library isn't streaming only.

  • Connecting iMac G5 to PowerMac G4?

    Hi if anyone can help on this, it would be great.
    I have a intel based version iMac g5 and just bought a G4 (not sure why, ebay etc)
    I know you can use the PowerMac G5 as a node so you can use its processor power for certain tasks (eg music production in Logic).
    But can you do it with the G4 PowerMac? if so how?
    kind regards.
    wilson

    No offense taken. I was too sleepy when I wrote that.
    There's a Cat5e outlet in my living room. AppleTV doesn't recognize it. It's as if it's not plugged in at all, and defaults to wireless connection telling me I need to insert an ethernet cable to use ethernet. Until 2 weeks ago it worked fine. I was on vacation and so did nothing myself to alter the setup. There were no power outages either.
    I tested the patch cable (ATV-wall) and then the patch cable by the router (patch bay-gigabit switch) by replacing them one at at time. No change.
    I tested the setup as a whole by connecting an iBook and an iMac G4, both with Airport switched off. The iBook works fine. The iMac does not. (In my first post I said that fast ethernet worked but gigabit ethernet did not, but I've just realized that the iMac is not gigabit ethernet.)
    The gigabit switch by the router has link indicator LEDs: 1 light for a fast ethernet connection, 2 for gigabit ethernet, 0 for no connection. With the iBook there's 1 LED, with the ATV there is 0.
    Finally, the ATV itself is definitely not broken. I verified this by connecting it to my bedroom TV with another outlet. It worked fine.
    I suppose there's a problem with the network cables or hardware, but these odd inconsistencies are confusing me and I don't know where or how to start troubleshooting.

  • Connecting iMac G5 to Samsung 40" LCD television.

    Hi folks,
    A friend of mine is about to purchase his first Mac, an iMac G5.
    He currently owns a 40" Samsung LCD television, the exact model can be seen here:
    http://www.samsung.com/uk/products/television/tftlcd/le40r51bxxeu.asp?page=Speci fications
    He would like to know if it's possible to connect the iMac to his television and if so, which of the numerous cables available in the apple store would be best for him to purchase? I've tried my best to advise him but there's simply too many on offer to make a guess.
    Could anyone replying, if possible, provide a link to the cable required (if possible).
    Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers.

    I do not think it would be a good idea to connect an iMac G5 to that TV. First reaosn being that the signal coming out of an iMac is VGA, which is analog, and turning analog to digital is not exactly a good idea. That TV has DVI in, (Digital Video Interface). You would not be getting that great of quality if you ended up splitting the VGA into composite video, the yellow white and red cables. Your friend's best bet would be to get either, a Mac mini, Powermac G5, or a Powerbook. Keep in mind if he gets a Powerbook 12 inch he will need a mini DVi to regular DVI adaptor, which does not affect quality. Quite frankly the iMac is the worst choice for this application. If you could find a TV that utilizes VGA, that would greatly improve the situation, but since he owns the tv already that would not exactly be conveniant. The iBook would also be a bad choice, because it has VGA out. If you do not want to dish out the crazy amount of money for the PMG5, then get a powerbook, the performance isn't much different compared to the G5 iMac. If I were your friend, I would wait for an update to the iMac line, or Powerbook. I have an IMac right now and I have ran into weird little minor issues. This probably isn't the best computer Apple makes right now. Powerbooks are very good.
