Fastest and easiest way to transfer system & files G3 to G5

I have a G3 b&W with a 400 firewire card in it, and two basic ATA hard drives. Which would be easiest way to transfer 10.3.9 system (with classic) by means of Carbon Copy Cloner, and all files to a partition on the G5 Mac.
Since the G5 has 400 & 800 firewire, or ethernet transfer.
I think Migration Assistant will help with the transfer, but not sure wich way to go about this.

Hi Berry, to use CCC you need an older version for 10.3, version 2.3, because the B&W doesn't support FWTDM.
Put the G5 in FW Target Mode…

Wait for the G5's HD to show up on B&W.
But, if perchance it's just Classic you need, you can Simply copy OS9's "System Folder" & "Applications OS9" over.

    Purchasing an app from the App Store does not mean that Apple's forums are the right place to ask questions about it. Asking about it here is roughly similar to asking another customer at Wal-mart how to assemble the bicycle you bought there. Ask the company that created the app, using the link Bob gave you.

  • Fastest and easiest way to drop a tablespace with LOB Segments

    When I try to drop a tablespace I get a message that I can't cause it still contains LOB Segments. I searched to see what objects like tables or indexes are in that tablespace and there are none.
    Any one run into this? Any way to get around this issue?

    Sorry,

  • Easiest way to transfer files between two PCs?

    There's a lot of stuff I'd like to transfer from my desktop to my laptop, but unfortunately sneakernet is out, as my pen drive is too small and the desktop can't burn CDs. However, the machines are currently on the same 100 Mbps LAN, and I've got a couple yards of USB cable if that proves necessary.
    What I'd like to know is: what's the fastest and easiest way of transferring the files? Should I use SSH? Should I create an NFS volume and put everything on that?

    Don't tell me you've never even tried using samba?!
    Easy as pie, if you go with "security = share" insetead of "security = user". Less secure of course.
    Look at this samba stanza (my misc share...);
    [misc]
    comment = read and write
    path = /home/pelle/share
    public = yes
    writable = yes
    force group = users
    force user = pelle
    complicated!? I think not.
    [edit]you would of course have to mount this in the client fstab like this;
    //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/misc /mnt/whatever cifs guest,ro
    (or just use the kio/gnome-vfs smb:/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)[/edit]

  • What's the easiest way to transfer files from an old Mac to a new one?

    Alright, when I originally purchased my Macbook Pro in 2006 - I had no intentions on replacing for many, many years to come. However, purchased the 17", to have more screen space for design, and that career sort of fell through. I don't have a need for such a large display, and it gets very heavy when carrying it around. I've recently decided to opt for the 13" Macbook. Now my question is, what is the easiest, fastest, and safest was to transfer the files that I do want, from the old to the new? I considered buying an external hard-drive? And for that matter, once I do get everything transferred - does Mac offer anything where I can basically set the old on back to factory defaults?
    Help is much appreciated.

    In addition..........
    If you have a High-speed connection, the easiest & fastest way is through AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) or any IM that has file transfers.
    iChat has the same ability of transferring large files as AIM.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=150934
    Adium has file transfers.
    Yahoo Messenger has file transfers.
    Both computers must use the same IM program for file transfers.

  • I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

    I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

    Following up on this thread,
    I have a new iMac on the way and my current is from 2008, never had a problem but I am sure there are internal issues that I would prefer not to transfer.
    I have no issues other then the slowness in certain programs and that is the main reason to buy a new one.
    Programs like numbers and pages seem to take a longer time to open after I update to Yosemite.
    I only use 272GB of 500 GB, my memory is 4GB and I am upgrading to 8Gb and bought the 4.0 processor.
    Question:
    Is there a way to manually transfer items or would that be a waste of time in that if there are issues they could be anywhere and would transfer anyway?

  • Im new to Mac and wanted to know what is the easiest way to transfer files from a mac computer and mac extenal hardrive to windowns and vice versa?

    Im new to Mac and wanted to know what is the easiest way to transfer files from a mac computer and mac extenal hardrive to windowns and vice versa?

    For small amount of files, a regular USB stick or drive, it's already formatted with a MBR and FAT32 most likely which works both on PC's and Mac's.
    External drives if you need more space.
    However FAT (or Fat32 or MSDOS) has a 4GB file size limit. So if your transfering files bigger than that then you need to format it exFAT on the Windows machine.
    Vista and Win 7 can do this, Windows XP one can download a free exFAT upgrade from Microsoft.
    Mac's can read/write the MBR and FAT/exFAT (10.6.5 and later) formats, it's best to format it on the Windows machine, even though the Mac can format it too, it's better to do it on Windows then take it to the Mac to confirm.
    Rack your brain here on it.

  • Easiest way to transfer all Business Documents to another instance

    We have to transfer all appraisal documents to another SAP instance. We know how to transfer all other parts except attachments (such as Excel sheets) of appraisal documents. These attachments are stored in Business Document Service (BC-SRV-BDS) with classname APPR_DOC.
    What is the easiest way to transfer all such attachments (in other words, all business documents of type APPR_DOC) to another system?
    For example, can transaction OAOR be used to transfer all documents easily? I have currently some authorization problems so that I can't test OAOR myself, and I am not sure whether you can easily select all documents for transport or do you have to do it one-by-one.
    Another option would be to do the transfer via RFC, but it involves writing programs to both the source and destination instances.
    Any other ideas?

    If the music is already in iTunes and you want to organize it in a single file you con click under Advanced>Consolidate Library.
    Otherwise if the music is not in iTunes yet, I believe it is necessary to do it manually, maybe try an automator workflow?
    This is an example workflow that can help you:

    I am not sure it will work, I recommend you to search in MacOs downloads sections also.

  • Easiest way to transfer photos from my old Windows desktop to new MacBook?

    I am an Apple newbie. What is the easiest way to transfer 7 years of photos from my old Windows desktop (Vista operating system) to my brand-new MacBook Air (OS 10.9.5)? Please answer in specific and simple terms. I'm not a techie. Thanks.

    That does not create a backup since the photos are on the same disk as the iphoto library, it simply wastes disk space - when the computer or the disk fails or the computer is stolen everything is gone as it is all in the same place - to have a backup you need a copy on a different disk - if you drag the photo from the external disk onto the iPhoto icon in the the dock iPhoto will import them (be sure that the default setting for "copy imported items to the iPHoto library" is checked - do not uncheck it - then you will have the photos in iPhoto and a backup on the external drive
    You also need to get an external drive about 2 to 2 1/2 times the size of the iphoto library formatted mac OS extended (journaled) and start running timeMachine so you always have hourly backups
    LN
    What?
    I did mention using an external drive, did i not?  Copying the photos to the external drive, and then copying the photos from the external drive to the mac. means they now exist in the external drive as well as the new Mac, the external drive is now effectively a backup of the photos. . 
    I never mentioned anything about iPhoto.   Just a straight copy though Windows Explorer, and Finder on the Mac.

  • What is the easiest way to transfer a large imovie project from one computer to another in a different location.

    What is the easiest way to transfer an faairly large HD imovie project from one computer to another in a different location. Can you export to drop box? Will the other computer need the exact imovie version?

    OK it depends.
    If you have a finished movie, you can SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and create your final movie. Then, depending on the size of the finished movie, you can transfer via dropbox or similar service. Ninety minutes is a very long movie for iMovie, but it may work for you. I would suggest 720P to keep the size down.
    If you need to transfer the entire iMovie Project so it can be edited in iMovie at the other end, then you need to transfer the project and event assets to an external hard drive and get the hard drive to the other location.
    Directions are here. Follow the directions for 1) Moving or copying Project to external drive. Then 2) Consolidate Media.

  • Is there a way to transfer Aperture files to Photoshop CS5 for editing?

    Is there a way to transfer Aperture files to Photoshop CS5 for editing? I recently had a crash of CS5 Bridge. It seems to have caused a problem with Aperture. So, I reinstalled both CS5 and Aperture. Before installing CS5 I uploaded NEF (Nikon RAW) files to Aperture. Now I have reinstalled CS5 I want to use it to edit the same photos from Aperture, as I know more about editing in CS5 than Aperture. I tried to export to CS5 but, Aperture would not give me  that option. At least I could not find it.

    You can set an external editor in the "Aperture Preferences -> Export " settings.
    Just set this to CS5.
    The resullt of your external edit will create a new version of your image.
