Connecting my Powerbook with my old Performa 6400...

I want to retrieve some files on my old Performa 6400 and copy them to my Powerbook running Mac OS X 10.4.8. The old Mac is running system Mac OS 8.
I have tried via ethernet but neither Mac seems to be able to see each other.
Any good suggestions?

Your TV hasn't entered some odd picture in picture mode has it with two 'inputs' side by side?

Trying to connect my iPhone6 with my old iMac with 10.6.8 MacOS. It says I need a new version of iTunes. When I try to upgrade the iTunes (11.3.1), it says, it is already the latest version. What do I do now?

If your PowerBook has Mac OS 9.1, you can't do it without additional (non-Apple) software. While Mac OS X has built-in Windows networking, Mac OS 9 does not.
This product allows Windows networking under Mac OS 9.

Connecting my t410s with an old composite/ s-video TV

Hi,
Just bought the t410s with switchable graphics and I was wondering if it was possible to connect it to my old composite/ s-video TV (through VGA or HDMI or other option...). I already spent a considerable amount on the computer, don't really feel like spending $100+ on a converter from VGA to S-Video. Any options?
Cheers!!!

The simple converter cable don't work.

Connect to comcast with an old airport

I have a very old Airport and, although I can get Internet on my Mac directly through the Comcast modem, I can't get my airport set up to give me wifi. I am not great with computers, so is there anyone out there who can talk me through this from start to finish? Thanks

Check to see if the AirPort software is up to date.
Launch AirPort.
From the AirPort menu bar top of your screen click AirPort > Check for Updates
And make sure Wi-Fi is turned on. Click the AirPort icon in the status menu bar top right in your screen. You can turn Wi-Fi off and on from the drop down menu.
And try turning off the modem (disconnect the power cable) for about 5 minutes then turn it back on.

Connecting to Internet with my Old Computer - What browser to download

I switched from dial-up to dsl. When I try to log back into AOL mail it says that it doesnt support my system. I dont know what operating system I have. Can someone please help me understand what browser I need to download that is capable with my system and compatible with AOL. Many thanks for your help. I dont know the operating system

Welcome To  Discussions Do1nny!
"When I try to log back into AOL mail..."
Are you using the AOL software on the PowerMac to access the AOL mail or are you accessing from the AOL Website?
...know what version of Safari I can download for OS 10.3.7?"
If you download and install the 10.3.9 Combo Update and then run Software Update from the PowerMac, the compatible version of Safari will be installed.

Uploading data from my old Performa to new IMac

I have just got my new IMac, and I must say I like it.
But I have lots of stuff on my old Performa 6400 (OS 8.6). Can I just use an ethernet cable to get it onto the IMac?
Kind regards
Willi

Well, doesnt seem that simple, unfortunately.
When I connect the two computers using the cross over cable, the iMac recognises the Performa, but I get an error message saying that the perfoma uses an uncompatible AFP protocol (what´s that?). With the normal cable, I get no result at all.
I have Apple talk switched on on both computers, and Apple Talk is configured to use the internet port (and yes, I added an ethernet card to the Performa a few years ago).
Do I have to configure the computers differently?
Or how can I use Firewire when the Performa doesn´t have a Firewire port?
Kind regards

File sharing with Leopard through dial up modem on Performa 6400

There are some really important files that i need to get off my Macintosh Performa 6400 (running 8.6) but the only connection that my iMac G5 (running 10.5.4) and the performa share is the dial up modem. I can't get an internet connection on the performa since we have broadband and it does not have an ethernet port, so that's out of the question. Some of the files are too big to fit on a floppy and my iMac doesn't have a floppy drive anyways.
I turned on file sharing on both computers, but they don't see each other being as they're connected through the dial up modems. After having searched up and down Google with no answer, my question is: is there anyway i can file share through the dial up modem using the aforementioned configuration?
Since I'll only need to do this once, I don't want to have go out and buy something in order to get this to work.
Thank you for any and all help you guys may provide.

I realise that you didn't, originally, intend to spend anything but, if you have a spare PCI slot left in your 6400. I wonder if maybe installing a Keyspan USB PCI card would help. That way the 6400 could communicate direct with the G5 and save the hassle of removing its HD.
http://www.allmacshop.co.uk/proddetail/19184/KeyspanUSB_PCI_Card_2-Port_Mac_Win__UPCI-2/
The manufacturer's part number is UPCI-2.
I installed one of these in my PowerMac 6500/300. Turned to be one of my better decisions as I was then able then to import photos direct from my digital camera and all sorts.
Or there's this which is better still-

Check compatibility with your 6400 though as I don't have one of these so I don't know if it works or not. Don't see why it shouldn't though.

AV Connections on Performa 6400/200

Hi,
I have a Performa 6400/200 running OS 8.6 with 256MB of memory.
The back of the computer has a set of RCA and S-Video connectors. Both input and output. The circuit board is identified as "Avid Technologies."
Does anyone have any information on what is required to use the AV hardware? Can I connect a VCR and copy video to the hard drive?
Thanks,
Sy Bensky

Your 6400 has the Apple Video System option installed, so if you do an advanced search of the Knowledge Base for it (select "Include content created prior to 1997"), you should be able to find some info about it. As I recall, it shipped with the Avid Cinema program, but the Apple Video Player program functions with it also. There was also an option for a TV tuner or FM tuner, allowing you to watch TV or listen to radio on your 6400. The Apple Video System was more of a high-tech toy at the time, but 10 years later - it's really low-tech. It was certainly never intended for high quality digitizing of analog video for full-screen display. The 603e/180 or 200 MHz processor and limited 1 MB of DRAM for onboard video support aren't capable of handling serious video work. For amusement purposes, you can connect a VCR and watch small-screen video and/or create and save small QuickTime video files.
Incidentally, the maximum supported RAM in a 6400 is 136 MBs - 8 MBs soldered to the motherboard and a pair of 64 MB DIMMs in each of the two RAM slots.

Hi! I sold my Iphone on ebay. The seller wants to connect the Iphone with his Apple ID, but it did not work because it says that the Iphone is already connected with another Apple ID. How can I get rid of this old connection? What do I have to do?

Go into Settings App and turn OFF Find My iPhone. It will ask for your old password, but in the future you can use your new Apple ID account. If you need to reset the old password try this: https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid?language=US-EN&returnURL=https ://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa&app_id=93&app_type=ext

I install LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

I installed LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it with less than 7 karakters. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary? How do I do this if so?
I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
Thanks again for your help.
