Connecting Power Mac 9500/200 to network to transfer data to iMacs

I have recently had two of my macs stolen an old G5 Power mac and a new iMac 27" I used to use the G5 as a go-between to transfer files from my Power Mac 9500/200 to my network because the PM 9500/200 could not see the iMacs and vice versa. Is there any way of connecting them now, I believe there were some problems with networking such an old system before is this still the case?

Very little that is compatible with the 9500 is with the 10.7 or later Macs.

Power Mac 7500/100 (G3) -networking wireless/either net 2 iMac...

I got a iMac Intel Duo (2006) OS 10.6.5 & I'm trying to get my PMac 7500/100-G3 (upgrade) OS 9.1 to talk to each other by eithernet or a wireless network for simple file sharing & transfer. Is there a way to do that? I do have a Eithernet Hud thet they are both hooked up to. So far I have not found a way and I just transfer files via:
PMac 7500 - USB > Thimb Drive < USB - iMac.
Soon to get my PMac G5 up and going with the same problem...

OSX.4.x lost the file transfer ability of Appletalk... 10.1.5 thru 10.3.9 had it!
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301183
With OS9 set with Appletalk to using TCP/IP, and or Chooser>AppleShare+IP, you can connect to a 10.4 or some later OSes machine.
"Mac OS X 10.4 and later don't support Personal File Sharing (or other AFP) over Appletalk, though by initiating the connection from the opposite direction you could still achieve an IP connection from a Mac OS 8 computer to a sharing Mac OS X computer. The Network preference pane in Mac OS X 10.4 and later still offers the AppleTalk checkbox, but it is for browsing AppleTalk-advertised resources and zones. The subsequent connection must be over TCP/IP."

How to connect my mac book pro to network printer Canon IR 2010f?

I'm desperate to know how to connect my Mac book Pro to network printer Canon IR 2010f. This printer has an independent system, therefore, no need a PC to be on, in order to print. But this printer is a network printer. Help me please.

The Canon UFR2 v2.20 driver for Mac OS X does not list the iR2010F as a supported model. The same is so for the Canon PS driver so I therefore believe this model is PCL5e only.
What you should do is open Safari and type the IP address of the iR2010F. This will connect to the internal web page of the copier and from the provided pages you should be able to see what printer languages are supported.
If it only lists PCL then you will be able to print to this copier using the Generic PCL driver included with 10.6.
So if you open Print & Fax, click + to add and then select IP > LPD for the protocol you can then enter the IP address of the iR2010F and leave the queue name blank. For the name you can change that to iR1020F and for the Print Using, select Generic PCL Laser Printer.
One note with regards to this driver. It is defaulted to 300dpi so you will need to open the print dialog when you do print and change the resolution to 600dpi to get better print quality.

I have a Power Mac G4 (2004) and want to transfer all my files to a new MacBook Pro 15.4". Can this be done thru firewire cable or do I have to transfer to an external Firewire 800 hard drive first?

I have a Power Mac G4 (2004) and want to transfer all my files to a new MacBook Pro 15.4". Can this be done thru firewire cable or do I have to transfer to an external Firewire 800 hard drive first?

Do it with a Firewire cable (buy a 800/400 adapter if you need it) - the USB transfer takes a much longer time.
Start up your old PowerMac G4 holding down the "T" key, for target disk mode.
On your new MacBook Pro open "Migration Assistant" in your utilities folder.
Connect the 2 computers by firewire cable and follow the prompts in Migration Assistant.

Connect Power Mac G4 to iMac via ethernet

I have a G4 Power Mac running OS 9.2.2 with 400MHZ, a whopping 40GB hard drive, with 320MB RAM. As well as an 27" iMAC running OSX Lion 10.7.5 with the 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, and 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory. The iMac is connected to the internet via a Netgear N600 WNDR3400v2 router.
I'm hoping I can connect the two MACs through my router in order to transfer some files from the Power Mac to the iMac, and am looking for step-by-step instructions to do so, if this is possible.

The OS 9 File Sharing - Apple Support document link you offered was what I was looking for, step-by-step instructions, however it did not work. I was interested in the "How to create a small network" link within that document, but it did not link to those instructions. Perhaps the link is nit supported anymore.
I have both my G4 and my iMac linked into my Netgear N600. The Netgear router LAN settings are setup so that the router can be used as a DHCP server.
When I select "connect to server" from the Go menu on the iMac and type in the computer name or owner name it fails to connect. When I browse to find a server, the only thing that shows up is a numeric name that connects me to my printer(?) because it contains a folder named "canon_memory"
When I select "chooser" from the apple menu of the G4 and select AppleShare, nothing shows up in the "Select a file Server" window. I then click on "Server IP Address" button and type in the IP address of my iMac, I get a reply that reads "No response from the server. Please try again"
Can you tell if I am missing any steps?
I'm afraid I don't have any OS 9 & 10.7 systems that I can test on. I think it was tricky to get Apple file sharing to work on OS 9 at least via TCP/IP. Apple do not support OS 9 now, so I do wonder if the 10.7 AFP server will work well with it.
You may want to try the following for the connection server IP address
afp://[your-serrvers-ip-address]
or
afp://[your-servers-ip-address]:548
or just
[your-serrvers-ip-address]:548
Obviously you should check that file sharing works on another system to be sure that 10.7 is sharing correctly. I would also consider using a USB stick, firewire drive or Target disk mode until you can get it working.

Our Power Mac G4 doesn't start up anymore since our iMac G5 is connected. Is there anyone who can help us? I've tried all the different methods and combinations, but so far without result, or: a bleu screen as a result.

Hallo,
Nieuw op dit forum toch gelijk al een brandende vraag: wij hebben na jarenlang 2 Power Macs G4 gedeeld te hebben nu een iMac G5 aangeschaft die we dus samen met de G4 willen delen. Nu krijgen we alleen de oude Mac niet meer opgestart. Verscheidene toetscombinaties geprobeerd maar niets werkt. Afwisselend krijgen we een blauw scherm met pijlen of een grijs scherm met een map met vraagteken. Iemand een idee wat we kunnen doen? Apple zelf ondersteunt niet meer apparatuur van 7 jaar en/of ouder. Mogelijk ligt het ook aan het netwerk of heb ik iets niet goed aangesloten. De iMac G5 draait ook onder 10.4.11.
Elke hulp is welkom!
Groeten en dank alvast.

Hello,
New to this forum as it has a burning question: after years we have 2 PowerMac G4 divide have now bought an iMac G5 so we want to share with the G4. Now we get only the old Mac does not boot. Several combinations tried but nothing works. Alternately, we get a bluescreen with arrows or a gray screen with a folder with question mark. Any ideas what we can do? Apple itself does not support more equipment from 7 years and / or older. It is also possible to the network or something, I have not connected. The iMac G5 also running 10.4.11.
Any help is welcome!
Regards and thanks already.

Unable to connect to Mac Pro with 2 network interfaces

The Mac Pro has 2 network interfaces. The first one is connected to a local network and the other interface has an external IP address (connected directly to the internet).
What we want to be able to do is to connect to the computer from home through the external interface and then be able to run applications on it that access a server on the local network. But, from home it is showing "Offline" in the "Current Status" column. If we try to connect it fails.
The thing I can't figure out is why I can access it from work on a different local network, using the external IP address. It works fine that way. There are no hardware firewalls that could be causing it. So either way, it is coming into the computer through the external adapter.
I'm stumped... Maybe it's something simple that I'm just missing. If you have any idea how I can access the computer from home please let me know so I can try it.
Thanks.

Just installed TeamViewer and we're using that. Works great.

What specific type of RAM does the Power Mac 8600/200 take?

What specific type of RAM (Memory) does the Power Macintosh 8600/200 take? If known, where could I get a hard drive for that Power Mac? eBay???? Any help would be gladly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Sean Butler

Sean,
Craig refered to MacGurus. Here is their website:
http://www.macgurus.com/products/motherboards/mbppc8600.php
You will find valuable information there.
Just a word of caution. If you have G3 memory chips and chips for the 8600/9600 etc. side by side, they will look almost identical but the registration notch is 1/16 of an inch off. Do not force one into the other machine. The real easy way to distinquish the 8600 memory chip is the two odd silicon chips in the middle that are not the same as the other standard RAM chips lined up on either side. They are parity checking chips, if my memory serves me correctly. The G3 memory modules will have identical chips all the way accross.
Be sure and follow the other links like:
http://www.macgurus.com/products/ram/edodimm.php
for a complete run down on EDO chips.

This page shows the G3, PC 100 compliant RAM chip:
http://www.simmtester.com/page/news/showpubnews.asp?title=Isyour+Memory+Module+PC-100+Compliant%3F&num=28
The chips for the 8600 will have more space in the middle and will have two non-conforming or mismatched chips in the center.

Can I and how do connect power mac to imac so I can use imac display

Is there a way I can use my imac and power mac together.
My purpose is to use the display of the imac when using the power mac.
If it possible please be so kind to tell me how to.
Thank you!

Hi Howard Herrick;
I doubt it because to the best of my knowledge you are only going to find connectors on the iMac to connect and external monitor to it not to connect another computer to the iMac's screen.

Connecting Two Mac minis to my network...

I finally decided to take the PC off-line for good. I purchased another Mac mini, so I'll be having both of those connected to my AirPort network.
I also have SharePoints installed on my Mini, and will install it on my new mac when it gets here.
My question. I know you can't share files over the network within each computer's home folder. I was to believe that with SharePoints I can share the files within home folders of each computer.
Basically, I want to be able to share the contents of the Documents, Pictures, and Music folders for each computer. All my music files, for instance, will be stored on one mini, and I'd like to be able to have access to those folders when I'm on my other mini, and vice versa.
As long as I can drag and drop files from the home folder on each computer, I will be happy.
Apple should send me a Christmas gift. Two 40GB iPods, two minis, one 20" ACD, AEBS, mighty mice, wireless keyboards... the list goes on. I've spent much more than I ever imagined making the "switch," but it was well worth it.
When the new Intel Macs come out, I'll drop one of these mini's downstairs, and extend my network with an AirPort Express. A mac in every room, I say!
Bryan

Thanks Henry. Great! That is what I wanted to hear.
## EDIT ##
I just went to the Sharepoints site, and read this, which I don't think I like...
"*Caution: SharePoints only modifies the permissions on the directory that is shared. All directories residing within the shared directory retain their original permissions.*"
If this means what I think it does, it means that if I share my Home>Music folder, I do not have access to other folders within Music, like all the artists folders.
If all those other folders within Music keep their original permissions, is it true I won't be able to access them, but just the parent folder?
I'd like to have access to any file on either machine, whithout having to set 1000 sharepoints:(

Can you connect a Mac to a windows network

I was wanting to know if it is possible for a Mac to access our servers securely. The Mac was connected before but that was because it was an unsecure server but that has been fixed and since then the Mac no longer connects
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Hi Zachary,
I believe what you are looking for is to force a mobile account creation at logon. This at least allows me to log into my Mac with my AD credentials whether I'm connected to the network or not.
To do this, go to System Preferences and then Users and Groups. Then select Login Options and authenticate to make changes. Click "Edit" next to Network Account Server then click Open Directory Utility. Authenticate in the Directory Utility and click "Active Directory" and then click the edit pencil icon thing. Expand the Advanced Options section and click "Create mobile account at login". Log out and then log back in as the user while connected to AD, and this should cache the password for usage offline.

Connecting Ethernet Macs & printer with wireless network?

I have a small LAN (500MHz Cube, iMAC, Tally T8016 Laser Printer) handled by a Belkin 4-port router, connected to a cable modem.
I would like to incorporate a new Mac mini, a MacBook and an AirportExtreme Base Station but have some problems. Connecting the AEBS to the cable modem via WAN and the router via LAN works half way. All 4 computers connect to the Internet without problems and the 2 Mac's connected to the router can use the printer, but the wireless ones don't recognize it. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to incorporate all 6 units (4 MAc's, printer and AEBS)?

Hmm .. it didn't work. When I remove NAT & DHCP I loose immediately all Internet connections on the 2 computers connected to the Belkin router.
I have now tried to
1. Shut down all computers, router, modem and AEBS.
2. Hard reset AEBS - wait 2 hours.
3. Connect Macmini to AEBS via Ethernet cable (LAN) and start up fresh. Internet connection works.
4. Remove Ethernet and establish wireless connection - Internet connection works.
5. Connect LAN output on AEBS to Belkin WAN input - [Belkin is still set to "no" NAT & DHCP].
6. Start Cube (connected to Belkin) and printer (connected to Belkin) - still no Internet connection and printer invisible to Macmini.
I guess I have to try Option #2 now, that is, connect the Belkin router to the cable modem, use 1 port to connect to the AEBS and disable the "distribute" option on the AEBS, and use the router ports to connect the Cube and printer.

Connecting Power Mac G5 dual 2.0ghz to a tv - DVI to VGA

I have a dual 2ghz G5 that I'd like to connect to my TV which has a female VGA connection. I have a DVI cable that I was using with a monitor, and a DVI-VGA male adapter to connect the computer to the TV. I want to use the TV as the sole monitor. I changed the resolution to be 800x600 in case that was the issue, but I still can't get the TV to recognize the signal. I read somewhere that typical adapters suitable for PC use may not work for Macs because there may be some kind of signal difference. Help!

This forum is for hardware G3 & older, running OS 9 & older.
Suggest you repost your question in the G5 forum or Tiger forum. See index at http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa?categoryID=1

How can I connect two macs in the same network?

Both are connected to the same network. One via ethernet and the other via Wifi (Airport Extreme). Both share the same Internet conection. I have followed instructions for files sharing. I can access only the computer linked to my home network via ethernet, but not the other way. It does not found the server address provided in file sharing by the computer conected via Wifi. Any clue? Can it be that the IP address of the Wifi conected is DCHP?

Are you using Connect to Server or Shared sidebar in the Finder? What OS X versions do the two machines run?
