Emac & Ibook

I have both of the above computers. I would like to be able to use them in conjunction with each other. Right now if I want to change one to the other, I must disconnect the ethernet cable and reset my modem, connect the ethernet cable to the other computer etc.
What do I need to purchase to have both of them connected, so I may go from one to the other, more easily?
As you can see I still have a lot to learn.
Thanks in advance.
Tony

or use your ibook as an external hard drive and connect the two with a 6-pin firewire cable. to boot your ibook into firewire disk mode press T as the computer starts up it will display a firewire logo and your set!

  • Firewall Between eMac & iBook

    Greetings;
    I'm having problems with a firewall between my 1.0gHz eMac (connected to internet via DSL Ethernet) and G3 900mHz iBook (using Airport to WEP link internet via eMac), both machines running 10.4.11. If I turn on my eMac's firewall first, I can't open file-sharing or web surf or retrieve mail on my iBook. If I first start file-sharing and web surfing on my iBook then turn on my eMac's firewall it works so well that it might as well be invisible. However if I break the link, such as by briefly closing my iBook's lid, I can't restore a connection unless I return to the eMac to turn its firewall off then back to my iBook to resume the connection then back to the eMac to turn its firewall back on. Gets weary.
    Any hints?
    Thanks!

    Hi Jim,
    On the eMac>Sharing, enable Personal File Sharing, that will open Port 80 for Web use. Other ports for Mail & such may need to be manually set in Sharing>Firewall tab>New...

  • Emac, imac, ibook installs

    I have an emac(parent's) and an imac(mine) and am about to buy an ibook(for college), none of these have Tiger 10.4 on them, either Jaguar or Panther. If I get Tiger 10.4 to update them, will I be able to use it for 3 different computers, and if so, will the imac or ibook, since they are older, still run smoothly? Also, I am more than likely going to get Microsoft Office(eww) because I need it for school, can I install this on all 3, and will they all run smoothly still? Thank you.
    imac, emac, ibook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    My husband recently installed (erase and install) Tiger on our 2 800mHz eMacs and we couldn't be happier. Both got iLife '06 at the same time and mine got PS elements4. Both of us feel that there is a noticeable increase in speed and we have had zero problems. Buy the family versions and upgrade them all. We had been stuck in 10.2.8 for years with 25,000 pix in iPhoto 2 and were afraid to upgrade due to all the problems we had heard about newer versions of iPhoto and losing album structure and so on. We aquired a used 12" iBook recently with panther and tried iLife '06 on it first. We copied our iPhoto libraries to an external drive, dropped them into the empty pictures folder, then opened iPhoto which proceeded to convert the libraries to version 6. Guess what? None of the probs we had heard about happened, and now weboth have identical copies of iPhoto on each of our computers.

  • Clamshell iBook Limbo

    I have a Tangeriene Clamshell iBook stuck in limbo. When it boots, it plays the tiger intro video, then when it should start the setup (Getting Started), it just displays the wallpaper and a cursor. Resetting the password doesn't work using any install discs (Tiger, Panther, Jaguar, Puma, or even Cheetah) and I can't get in using single user mode. I tried the ⌘+S at startup and attempted:
    [mount -uw / > launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist > Is /Users > dscl . -passwd /Users/*username *password > reboot]
    with no luck. I also tried:
    [mount -uw / > rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone > shutdown -h now]
    and it did initialize the "new" computer simulation. I popped in the original disc (Mac OS9) and used disk first aid to repair the HDD. Now I'm stuck at the video as said above. It has a 40 gb hard drive with a 300 or 366 mhz PPC 750 G3 processor (not sure which one) and an 256 mb or ram. Suggestions? Thanks!

    Unfortunatly, I don't have any "normal" install discs. I only have 10.0 and os 9. The rest are update CDs or CDs that came with computers such as the eMac, iBook g3 and g4, and iMac (tray and slot). So if I were to zero the disc, I would be without a decent operating system (only having mac os 9 and 10.0 install discs, I can't upgrade without the install discs for 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 or 10.4.) The hard drive is not apple certified, do there's no garuntee zeroing would even work. any other options?

  • Clearing out password before shipping ibook

    I need to put a bigger harddrive in my ibook. However, I have a bazillion passwords on my computer and I want to delete these before I hand my precious over to a company to do the work? I mean delete as in 'make unrecoverable' without wiping the harddrive.
    How do I wipe the passwords out from Safari, Firefox, Opera, and so on before I ship?
    Thanks

    Your safari (and many other passwords) passwords are stored in your keychain file(s) which is in your /Users/yourname/Library/Keychains/login.keychain. Trash that file and empty the trash by selecting "Secure Empty Trash" from the Finder menu. Do the same if you have any other keychains in that folder or any other information you want to securely delete.
    For Firefox, trash /Users/yourname/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox (just trash the whole folder).
    I've never used Opera so can't help you there. What you could do is create another Admin account, log in with that account, go into Terminal and type "srm -rf /Users/yourname" (without quotes). This will securely delete your entire home folder.
    I would really suggest wiping the HD before giving the computer away. Boot from the OS X CD and use Disk Utility to zero the data on the drive.

  • CD/DVD drive door opens when eMac wakes from sleep

    I have two identical eMacs running OS 10.4.9 but for some reason one of them has a problem where the CD/DVD drive door opens by itself when I wake it up. Has anyone experienced this problem?
    Thanks!
    Brent

    The same thing happens to my eMac - and it has not been serviced at all. I have been watching your post for a reply. Can anyone provide a bit of help as to why the eMac CD door pops open upon waking from sleep?

  • EMac System Disks- are they just copies of Tiger?

    I've got two eMacs and packed away all the documentation and software together when I got them. I can't remember which set of disks belong to which machine- does this matter, or do they both contain a copy of Tiger?
    Thanks a lot!

    No it doesn't metter which set of disk belong to which machine because you have 2 same Macs. The label of your CD's show's you which MacOS X contain, and for what Mac are made for (eMac, iBook, pBook etc).

  • Adobe Photoshop CS2 shuts itself down after printing..

    Not sure whether I'm in the right place to post this..
    In my workplace, we just bought some new iMacs for design class. They are a 2GHz with Intel Core Duo, and has 1GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM, and running Mac OSX 10.4.8.
    The Photoshop CS2 is version 9.0
    I've config-ed the five new iMacs so they can print to a printer, using IP printing. Problem is, most of the time after the students sends the document they want to print to the printer, Photoshop CS2 just shuts itself down. Then the dialog box saying 'the software just unexpectedly quit' appears.
    It is confusing me, because our older iMacs (that's not an Intel-based) doesn't have this problem, at all.
    is it something to do with CS2 compatibility with Intel-based Macs? or something else.. what needs to be done to stop this annoying problem?

  • FCP unable to Capture Canon GL2

    Hello -
    My system is noted below. Final Cut Pro is updated to 6.0.4.
    I am unable to capture the video using Canon's GL2 using the current version of FCP. I believe that I have everything configured correctly because I am able to capture audio and video using my father's JVC GR-DV800U video camera. Actually that particular JVC camera seems to work quite well with FCP. But not Canon's GL2. I am able to control camera's Rewind, Fast Forward, Play, etc. So I know that some communication is taking place. However, no picture is present within FCP; no capture either. Instead, I get that dreaded beach ball wheel.
    I believe the FCP settings are correct: Under "Audio/Video" settings, the audio is set to MOTU's 424 (for the 2408 MK3); the DV Capture Preset (and the Sequence) is set to "DV NTSC 48 khz"; Video Playback is set for"Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - Main" with the audio playback set (again) to MOTU's 424 card.
    I am attempting to capture the video to an external hard disk drive using the Mac Pro's firewire port located in the back of the computer. Again, this all works using my father's JVC video recorder.
    *Given the computer setting and operating system, is this a known issue between the FCP and the GL2??* My GL2 is an older video camera. I purchased it quite a few years ago. *It seems like the GL2 may be the culprit. Yes? No?*
    I'm very new to FCP. My background is with SONY's Vegas program (currently I'm up to version 8). Been using the Vegas program for years. My Dell Workstation, unfortunately, is old; it definitely is showing signs of aging. So, to make a long story short, I've decided to invest time and money in a Mac Pro (I use it primarily for music sequencing using the Logic Pro program which I love!) Now I want to learn how to use the FCP which I purchased several months ago. Not being able to have FCP communicate with the GL2 is a minor significance for me, though. I'm in no financial place to purchase a new camera at this time. Luckily, I usually record the video using Focus Enhancement's FS4-Pro with the GL2. So I am not totally dependent on having FCP and the GL2 work together. *Thankfully, the FS4-Pro DOES works well with FCP!!* Too bad I didn't use the FS4-Pro today. Wish I did. UGH
    Could there be a work around in getting the GL2 to communicate properly with FCP??
    Thank you in advance for your thoughtful insights and suggestions.
    Regards,
    Ted Fiebke

    Not all Canon cameras have connection issues, but hanging around this site I've come to recognize their ability to connect in FCP is the most problematic of all the camera brands. If you have a Canon camcorder, and can not get it to connect up with FCP, the following is a way to sort through the issues and get it to work. Some are elegant - some are ugly.
    Before we go any farther
    • You should be using 'Firewire Basic' as the control protocol. If you aren't, go change it and try again.
    • Also, verify that you have a solid installation of Quicktime. You may want to reinstall it using the 'delete receipts' method.
    With some confidence that the software installation and camera settings are correct ... the most direct solution is to purchase another, non-Canon device to use as your capturing machine. The (now discontinued) Sony DSR-11 is highly recommended for DV work. A deck will save wear and tear on the camera's lightweight drive mechanism and will allow you to permanently connect a NTSC/PAL monitor for proper viewing. If you are working with HDV, you may have other issues ...
    Beyond that, the path you take depends on the model of computer you own.
    1. If you have a G5 tower or a MacPro, capture to a second internal drive with only the camera attached. If you need to move material to firewire drive, disconnect the camera. A second internal drive is quite inexpensive these days if you do not already have one.
    2. If you have a G5 tower (PCI) MacPro (PCI), G4 powerbook (PCMCIA) or MacBookPro (Expresscard 43) with an available slot, purchase the appropriate firewire card for the slot. Connect your camera to the card and you should be good to go. The new card creates a unique bus and will avoid collisions with the external drives.
    3. If you do not have a slot or a second internal drive and you are stuck with the camera, welcome to the camera/drive shuffle.
    • shut down and remove the external hard drive(s) from the system
    • connect the camera directly to the firewire port of the computer
    • start the camera then the computer
    • capture to your internal (system) hard drive
    • shut down the camera and computer
    • disconnect the camera and reconnect the external hard drive(s)
    • start hard drive(s) and computer
    • move captured files to external hard drive(s)
    • edit
    If you output back to tape or wish to view your work on an external Video (NTSC or PAL) monitor, you need to set up the camera to use the firewire out as the A/DV converter or VTR - which means reversing the steps:
    • copy the file back to the internal drive
    • shut everything down
    • disconnect the external drive(s)
    • connect the camera to the firewire port (and the TV to the camera if needed)
    • start the camera then the computer
    • play the file.
    One caveat here - You may have difficulty getting the file back to tape without dropping frames. Playing files off of the system drive is very demanding and they may have a hard time keeping up.
    All in all, if you do not have the option for second bus (i.e. iMacs, eMacs, iBooks, MacBooks) you may want to think about a computer with expandable options next time.
    There is the option of capturing using iMovie, but that brings on it's own set of problems and is not recommended.
    Good luck.

  • Can't capture vid - Canon XL cam FW 400 to FW 800 HD - Apple gurus stumped

    Am I REALLY the ONLY person out there using a Canon XL 1 and/or 2, an external hard drive with firewire 800 ports and a G5 and/or Mac Book Pro and working with FCP?!!!!
    I made a special trip from Flagstaff AZ to the Apple Store at the Biltmore in PHX, just to stump the Apple genuises with this problem. They asked that I post this on the Apple site's discussion forum.
    The verdict was: There seems to be a problem capturing video in FCP ("Unable to initialize video deck" and FCP freezes up) when going from the Canon, via firewire 400 4 pin to 6 pin and saving to an external hard drive via firewire 800. The 400 cable is good, as it captures fine to a drive using a 400 cable. It's just the 400 port on newer, 800 capable hard drives, is limited to one. We tried all different ways of configuring, going from camera to HD thru the Mac, and going from camera directly into the external HD, plugging into the 400 port, and then into the Mac from the HD thru the 800 ports.
    The only thing that we didn't try, because it's a rare cable (the Apple store hasn't carried one in over three months), is a 4 pin to 9 pin FW 800 cable.
    What am I doing in real life to still keep making money? I capture to my old external HD that has 2 FW 400 ports, then dump the footage to my new HDs with FW 800 ports to work on the project. Time consuming.
    Again, all versions of FCP and QuickTime software are up to date. We also used one of their G5s. Also, the problem occurs with both my LaCie Rugged HD and my Western Digital My Book, both purchased from the Apple store. The guru at the store kept referring to a bridge issue???
    Thanks.

    Here's my standard "so you are using a Canon camcorder to capture and it isn't working" routine:
    Not all Canon cameras have connection issues, but hanging around this site I've come to recognize their ability to connect in FCP is the most problematic of all the camera brands.

    -Also, verify that you have a solid installation of Quicktime. You may want to reinstall it using the 'delete receipts' method. Here's how:
    Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
    Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
    Run the Quicktime installer.
    Reboot
    Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
    With some confidence that the software installation and camera settings are correct and it still won't capture correctly, you are most likely a victim of the dread 'Canon firewire bus incompatibility problem'. Simply stated: Canon cameras do not play well with other devices on the same firewire bus. And, since all the firewire ports on a Mac connect to one bus - well - you get the picture.
    The most direct solution is to purchase another, non-Canon device to use as your capturing machine. The Sony DSR-11 is highly recommended for DV work. Since you have one and it isn't working, perhaps you have a more fundamental problem. Beyond replacing your tape playback device, the path you take depends on the model of computer you own.

  • How to set up local server to use a remote server for login authentication?

    Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
    We are trying to set up a "sub-network" (dont' know if this is the right terminology) using a 10.4 Server OS, to manage a set of clients... the trick is that the client login/home directory information is on a different remote server, and shall remain there, for the most part.
    To make it easy to understand here's the environment:
    *Local Server:* 10.4 G4 Server Quicksilver 1G dual--we have total control of this one
    *Main/remote server:* 10.5 Xserve.. don't know which vintage--we have very very very little input on this machine.. effectively at the mercy of the sysadmin of this system who is very conservative in changing anything (hence the need for a separate server to install applications and client machine-specific profiles, etc since the Xserve admin refuses do it). This serves MacBooks/MacBookPros and few iMacs. (no Windows PC.. as that group of comptuers have their own server)
    client: ~20 eMacs/iBooks all running 10.4.
    use environment: elementary school-->very low network demand (no e-mail, just running local apps linking to server(s) for licensing and login, and some file saving small files on remote server, user preferences, etc).
    The remote server (the Xserve) has all the login authentication, as well as the home directories. every school year, the directories get updated as new students enroll and old students graduate. Currently all the clients are directly linked to the Xserve via LDAP while we bring the local server on-line.
    the local sever (our G4 Quicksilver) will have few network applications that will support the client machines. We also will be setting up computer accounts and groups for our clients so that we can properly set their environments (the Xserve admin will not do this on the Xserve, so currently all the clients are connecting to the server as a "guest computer" from what little I understand watching what was done)
    now, what is the best way to approach this type of set up with minimal "inconvenience" of the Xserve admin?
    I am pretty experienced with standalone UNIX and macOS X administration, but a novice to this whole Server and network setup thing. Any suggestions, instructions, pointers to URLs with how-tos is much appreciated. I am not afraid to use Terminal (grew up on UNIX before GUI), etc., and willing to try safe but unconventional setups if that is what's needed...
    thanks for any help!

    Oh never mind.... I figured it out myself helps to read up on the manuals. d'oh. sorry for the bandwidth waste...

  • Can't open movie files in browser or email

    Hi, I'm not sure if this issue has been dealt with yet; however, I can't open movie files contained in emails or in my Safari Browser--even ones labeled as QT files. I am running Quick Time 7.0.4 on my 10.3.9 eMac. This is a recent problem, as I didn't have this difficulty until the last month or so. I had unchecked the "Open Safe Files" box in Safari's preferences some time ago as a precaution against a virus/worm, but rechecked it after the last one or two Security Updates. What else should I do to resume opening movie files? QT Player runs just fine with movie trailers, etc, but not in mails or the browser.
    eMac, iBook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   1 Ghz G4, 768 mb ram

    Under the Safari Help menu choose "Installed Plug-ins". This will confirm your QuickTime install.
    Under Safari Preferences/Security make sure you've got plug-ins enabled.
    Try dragging the email attachment to the Desktop and see if it plays from there.

  • Capturing with Gl2

    Hey All,
    I am capturing from a GL2 (DV) via my Quad's firewire 400 to a remote drive connected via firewire 800. When I plug in the camera, FCP 5.1 freezes on me. When I disconnect the camera the program runs great. This is a Quad with an Apple screen that is connected to the Quad via fire wire and USB. When I disconnect the screen's firewire connection, things seem to run fair but not well enough. What am I doing wrong?
    This is my first project using FCP. Previously, I captured through Avid's Mojo into Avid Xpress Pro. That was smooth. Is it possible I can get a cheap capture card or break out box that will be more consistent?

  • Running an Intel Mac on a Wireless Network with other Power PC Macs

    I know changing the Airport to WPA encryption will allow an intel Mac with either Mac OS or WinXP OS to access the airport.
    If you have powerPC Macs also, what encryption will allow both Mac (intel and powerPC) and WinXP to access the airport?
    Right now either WEP for all Macas or WPA for intel Mac (Mac & WinXP).

    Mac Mini (Intel), iMac, eMac, iBook, G4, & Powerbook (all powerPC)   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   also 10.4+

    Hi Sherwood!
    If I recall correctly, an update to Windows XP (assuming you're using Windows XP) added WPA support to the existing WEP support. The same applies to Mac OS X.
    Regardless, if both OSes are up-to-date they can use either WEP or WPA. But WEP and WPA should not be used at the same time for the same wireless network. Choose one and set your Airport first (create your infrastructure) and then set all computers to connect using that same security (add computers to your infrastructure). I suggest using WPA becuase it is more secure than WEP.
    This link indicates when you can use WPA on your Mac and this link indicates when you can use WPA on your Windows system.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • Safari not displaying web site image

    I have a website that is suddenly not displaying the header image in Safari and IE5.2.
    I have my suspicions that it is due to a JavaScript from Google to run their Analytics programme which I installed a few days ago, (and will shortly remove it to confirm the suspicion or otherwise.)
    But first I wish to check if other people are experiencing the same problem, or if it is localized to my computer. (Need to be able to inform Google if their script is the fault and affects all Safari users or only some versions. So please check the site and report results here, including your Safari version. Mine is Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6) and Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac.
    The site is http://www.paintmaking.com
    What I see in Firefox, Netscape, Opera, and Camino is a flash title over a colored background with a photo.
    Thats what I saw in Safari until recently too. But suddenly all I now see in Safari and IE is the flash title over a gray background, no photo, and above the menu bar a very thin strip of color (about 1mm, 1/16in). The sidebar images are unaffected (and those images at the side work fine in all the browsers), it is just the header.
    Can you please tell me what you see and the browser version?

    Thank you to everyone who has reported what you are seeing on my website. Now I need some help to troubleshoot the problem. So far I am confused as to where the problem lays let alone what the problem might be.
    I need guidance as I am running out of ideas for troubleshooting. Are there any files that I should try trashing?
    Could the problem lie in my Flash player perhaps (how do I test this?
    Updates:
    I can see only a gray color behind my flash title on http://www.paintmaking.com in Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6) and Internet Explorer 5.2.3 (5815.1). What should be there is a colored header image.
    I have established that other people can see the image correctly, including on the same builds of Safari and IE and on the same OS (10.3.9). An exception is someone using Shiira who can only see gray in Shiira, but sees colors in other browsers including Safari.
    On my computer Netscape 7.2, Firefox, Mozilla, Opera and Camino can all see the image correctly.
    Safari and IE have the same problem displaying the image on all the accounts on my eMac.
    I have: cleared cache with no improvement, checked Safari Preferences (Java enabled, JavaScript enabled, and 'display images as pages open' is checked.
    I have removed the software that I installed recently. (MacTracker)
    I have removed a piece of JavaScript added recently (from Google to facilitate their Analytics programme)
    The only major thing I have done lately that is out of the ordinary is to Clone my OS X hard drive to an external drive using SuperDuper.
    I don't seem to be having problems with other websites.
    So how can this be? If the problem is in my computer why only the one site affected? (I checked several sites) Yet if the problem is with the site then why can other people see the site correctly?
