File Transfer to Mini from Imac G3 (no firewire!)- Set Up

Reading the instructions for setting up my new mini, it says to use a firewire connection to move files to the mini using the Set Up assistant.
The G3 Imac (slot loading) does not have a firewire port (that I know of).
Will the Set Up Assistant work with and Ethernet connection?
If not, any best practices or resoures to refer to would be appreciated!

The Migration Assistant will not work with Ethernet; click here for instructions on transferring the files manually after creating the account.

  • How can I transfer a pic from iMac to iPhone?

    How can I transfer a pic from iMac to iPhone?

    See this page:   Ways to import photos
    If you have an iCloud account, turn on My Photo Stream to make new photos appear automatically in iPhoto on your device; or turn on iCloud Photo Sharing to have your shared photo streams automatically appear in iPhoto.
    Sync photos from your Mac o to the Photos app on your device using iTunes. If you don’t have iTunes on your computer, you can download it for free.
    Import full-resolution photos from your Mac directly into iPhoto using iTunes file sharing. Your photos appear in the iTunes album in iPhoto.
    Mail you photo and save it to the camera roll from Mail.
    Sync photos and video clips using iTunes
    Connect your iOS device to your computer.Note:  If Wi-Fi syncing is on in iTunes, you don’t need to connect the device to your computer, but they both need to be on the same Wi-Fi network, and the computer needs to be on. For more information on Wi-Fi syncing with iTunes, see your device’s user guide.
    In iTunes, select your device and click Photos at the top of the window.
    Select “Sync Photos from” and select the photos you want to sync to your device.On a Mac with photos in an iPhoto or Aperture library, selecting an album or event organizes the photos as an album or event in iPhoto. You can sync your entire library or select specific albums and events.On a Windows computer, selecting a folder organizes the photos as an album in iPhoto.
    If you want to sync video clips, select the “Include videos” checkbox.
    Click Apply.
    When the sync is complete, click next to your device, and disconnect your device.
    Import photos using iTunes file sharing  (you need iPhoto on your iPhone to do this)
    In iTunes, select your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
    Below File Sharing, select iPhoto, and click Add.
    In the window that appears, select the photos you want to import, and click Add.The photos are transferred to your device and appear in your iPhoto library the next time you open iPhoto. Photos transferred to iPhoto using file sharing appear only in the iPhoto library, not in the Photos app.

  • Can see files on Mac Mini from Macbook Aire on same network

    I can see the MacMini in the side bar from the Air but when I click through i can only see the public folders.  I have File Sharing checked in the System Preferences so I dont understand why i cannot see the files on the mini.  I can only see the drop box in the public folders and it wont even allow me to access that even if i wanted to.
    Is there something else other than check file sharing in system preferences that I need to do
    Also, I have an external drive attached to the MacMini which is not visible from the Macbook Air, not sure if that is the same problem
    Thanks for any advice you can offer
    Andrew

    Note that there's a difference between sharing and syncing.
    Sharing will allow you to access the files on your Mini from your MBP, but the files won't be on your MBP when you take it somewhere else.
    Syncing is making both Macs have identical copies of files, so that a change on one Mac makes a change on the other Mac.
    If you've got a large LightRoom catalogue and limited space on your MBP, then you want sharing. The link above should get you started with that.
    For syncing, I recommend BitTorrent Sync, which is free. It's basically "DropBox without the cloud". You select a folder to sync, and then whenever your two Macs are on the same network, any file in that folder that changes is synced to the other Mac.
    I use it to keep my entire Documents folder synced between my Mini and MBP.
    http://www.bittorrent.com/sync
    You may need to be careful about modifying the same document on both computers at the same time, though I believe BS does handle this in some way. Also, if you're syncing an app's data library, then some database files (e.g. with computer-specific data like file path names) may not sync well.
    Of course, you could use DropBox, though you'll need to subscribe if you want more than a couple of GB.

  • HT204144 File transfer using Airdrop from iphone to Macbook Pro

    File transfer using airdrop form Macbook Pro to iphone is working...but from iphone to Macbook Pro is not working, Why?

    Hi Brok25;
    Thanks for the question.  The resource below explains the specs and settings that are needed for AirDrop.  Check the settings and look to see if your MacBook Pro is listed.
    Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203106
    Sending files to and from an older Mac
    If a Mac you're using with AirDrop was manufactured before 2012, you can send and receive files with other Mac computers.
    On the sending Mac, click "Don't see who you're looking for" in the AirDrop window.
    Select the option to "Search for an Older Mac."
    On the receiving Mac, open a new Finder window and click AirDrop in the sidebar.
    Tips for sending files
    Make sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled on your Mac and your iOS device. Although you don't have to connect to a specific network, Wi-Fi needs to be on to send and receive files using AirDrop.
    Move your devices closer together. AirDrop is designed to work within a range of approximately 30 feet (9 meters). If you need to send a file to someone farther away, consider using File Sharing, iCloud, or email instead.
    If you're using a firewall on your Mac, you won't be able to receive AirDrop files if you have enabled "Block all incoming connections" in the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences.
    Make sure your devices meet system requirements for AirDrop.
    System Requirements
    To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
    In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
    your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector 
    your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
    your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
    Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network. 
    To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need the Mac models listed below with Wi-Fi turned on and OS X Lion or later installed.
    MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
    MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
    iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
    *The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
    For help identifying your Mac, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu. You can refer to the Apple Support website to find out if your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch includes a lightning connector. 
    Cheers,
    - Judy

  • How can I transfer/import iPhotos from iMac to MacBook Pro?

    How can I transfer some  photos from iPhoto on iMac Desktop to iPhoto on MacBook Pro?

    We're talking some photos? You can export them from iPhoto to a USB flash drive form the iMac and import them into iPhoto on the MBP. That's one way.

  • I bought this Mac mini from my company, and cannot set up my admin account. What can I do?

    I bought a Mac mini from my company as they were closing our office and leaving all of us in a state of unemployment. Now I'm trying to setup the admin user account for my Girlfriend's son, for whom I purchased the unit. As he is new to mac, I'm trying to set it up for him. However when I go to the account panel in system preferences, I am unable to change anything without entering an admin password. Nor can I find a setup assistant to treat it as a new mac. What are my options from here? The Mac mini 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running OS X Version 10.6.8

    If the company did not supply you with that Mac's original System Install DVD, you really ought to purchase a Snow Leopard DVD from Apple since you are likely to need it in the future.
    Please read everything that follows before continuing. If you have only the one computer you should print this for reference.
    Power on or restart your Mac.
    At the chime or grey screen, hold ⌘ and S on your keyboard to enter single-user mode.
    At the localhost:/ root# prompt, type
    fsck -fy
    and press Return.
    This is a simple check for file system integrity and is optional. It may take a few minutes to complete. Be patient. If you get concerned that it has stalled press the Return key. When the integrity check completes pressing the Return key will result in the localhost prompt again.
    At the localhost:/ root# prompt, type each of the following lines, exactly as written, one line at a time, each line followed by the Return key. There is a single space preceding the first "slash" ( / ) character in each line:
    mount -uw /
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    reboot
    The Mac will restart, and then take you through the entire setup and registration process that a new Mac presents to a new user. Any pre-existing user accounts are still available, but without their passwords they will not be useful to you.
    Do not elect to transfer your information from another Mac. When you get to the "Do You Already Own a Mac" screen, select "Do not transfer my information" and press Continue. Have your existing Apple ID and password ready - do not create a new one unless that's what you really want to do.
    When it completes, log in under that new account. Use System Preferences > Accounts (or Users & Groups) to delete the User accounts that you no longer need.

  • How to transfer an item from imac to an AirMac

    I transfered all of my content from my iMac to a new AirMac and it worked great.
    Is there a way to transfer only a item that is on my iMac to the AirMac?
    My iMac is a 2008 purchase.
    For desktop items it is not an issue as I can just e-mail it to myself, but there are updates, new entries to Bento and iPhoto, Aperture, etc that I would like to transfer.
    I read a few topics about using the iMac is a monotor and it required a mini display port which my iMac does not have.
    Thanks
    Greg

    OK!
    Let me give 2 examples:
    I transferred Aperture to the Air Mac
    and since the transfer, I  have download and PP several photos, I have updated a Bento file from 5600 names to 6200 names.
    Currently the only way I can think of is to repost all the Bento files and put the PP photos in an  e-mail and send it to my address and manually enter it into Aperture.
    I hope I am making sense of this.

  • Transfer some items from iMac to new MacBook Pro

    I am buying a new laptop and want to transfer some not all of my files from my iMac to the new MacBook Pro.
    When I bought my iMac 2 years ago I just transferred everything from my old Mac to the new one via USB I think.
    Again I do not want to transfer everything.
    The laptop is a secondary computer to take with us on the road and or my wife can play her games and not try up the main computer.
    Thanks in advance,
    Greg

    Your best bet is to use Setup Assistant when your new Mac first starts up.  Transfer your User accounts and some or all of the contents of the home folders (you can't pick and chose individual files, but you can omit some broad categories).  See How do I set up a new Mac from my old Mac or its backups? for details. Then you can delete what you don't want.
    The reason you should do it that way is, the user accounts on both Macs will then be the same; each account on one Mac will have the same permissions to data for the same account on the other Mac, and other drives as well, such as your backups.

  • Can't see external HD on Mac Mini from iMac

    For months I had an alias on my iMac desktop that opened my external HD, connected to my Mac Mini downstairs.
    It worked flawlessly. Both machines on Leopard.
    I upgraded my iMac to Snow Leopard on release day (Mac Mini is still Leopard). I haven't connected to the external HD from the iMac since, but I tried it today and it can't find it.
    I can browse the Mac Mini, and connect as my admin account and browse the entire Mac Mini HD, but the External HD just doesn't show up.
    The external HD is still working fine on the mac mini itself, I just cant see it remotely.
    Snow Leopard issue or something else?
    Cheers

    Apple told me that the HD drive doesn't show up on other user's page, as it has been hidden on purpose by apple, and only shows up on the main user of the computer, Are you the main user on the computer, if so maybe a problem but if you are an added user it just shows up a blank screen

  • Access files on mac-mini from external hard drives hooked to PC...

    Have two external hard drives hooked up to my PC. I am in the process of daisy-chaining (via firewire cable) from the one external-Hrd-Drv (only one that has firewire input) to my MAC-MINI. APPLE STORE REP says it will pick up BOTH hard dirves (through a "daisy-chain" -like cycle) and that their icons will just pop-up on my mac-mini. So, it's all hooked up and then I clicked over to the mac-mini and there's NOTHING. Both hard-drive icons are no where to be found! There still ONLY found on my PC, of course. Once a again, I was told that my mac-mini would pick-up or access both hard drives from my PC by JUST using a firewire cable! I've done that and I'm having no such luck. Is there a way to do this? Please Help...thanks!

    Can you re-state exactly what drives are connected to which computers, and how?
    An external hard drive plugged into a PC (or, indeed, even another Mac) on your network will not automatically "show up" on your Mac mini, no matter whether it's USB, Firewire or what. The only way you can even connect to it from the Mini would be to share it out from the PC as an SMB/CIFS (Windows file sharing) share across the network.

  • Consolidating/sharing the files on Mac Mini and iMac

    would be grateful for any help on how to consolidate and share the files (iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie) on my old iMac with my new Mac Mini/250GB iomega HD. both macs are connected to the same wireless network.

    gjellern - best to read through this article that explains most of what you ask. Please post if a specific part needs elaboration or if you get confused about something. (skip anything about AppleTalk - that is for older pre-OS X computers - best to use the newer sharing technologies version if everyone is on OS X)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106461
    the short answer is you need to enable Personal File Sharing on each computer that will accept another to see the files that are local to that computer. Then you have to choose to either share a user/password to mount a share.
    Once one mac has mounted the other's drive - you can work as if all files were on one computer (copy them - use them over the network, etc...)
