Filesharing between iMac G5 w/iSight to PowerMac G3 Tower

I recently got an iMac G5 to replace my very old, very slow PowerMac G3 with OS 9.2.3. My G3 tower does not have a firewire port. I want to get some files (music, etc.) from my old Mac to put on my G5. My problem is that they can't seem to find each other's IP addresses. I manually configured each computer's IP address so that I could connect them by entering the IP address of the target computer in the "Connect to Server" window. I have sucessfully networked Macs before, and I've tried everything that I know.
I've tried to connect directly via their ethernet ports. I tried using an ethernet cable: didn't work. I tried a crossover cable: didn't work. (by "didn't work", I mean the computer couldn't find anything at the specified IP address).
I've tried a LAN hub, connecting the computers to the hub via ethernet cables: didn't work.
I have used a USB cable to attempt filesharing between these two machines. I got to see the contents of my G3's hard drive on my G5's screen, but once I grabbed the files I wanted from the G3 and dropped them onto my G5's hard drive, my G3 froze solid.
My old G3 has a BIG problem with freezing. The hard drive has severe fragmentation (to the point where software cannot defragment it). I've tried jacking the Virtual memory way up, but that doesn't seem to help. I have been given reason to believe that my USB ports are functioning improperly as well.
Is it hopeless?
Why can't I network these Macs?
Might USB filesharing work if I replace the USB card in my G3 tower?
What have I overlooked?
Please give me some advise!
Thanks,
-Nick

To connect to a Mac running MacOS 9.2 from a Mac running Tiger, it is essential to enable file sharing using TCP/IP in addition to Appletalk. I realize you said you had "done this before" but just to review:
a) setup up TCP/IP:
1. Open the TCP/IP control panel.
2. Choose Built-in Ethernet from the Connect Via pop-up menu.
3. From the Configure pop-up menu, choose either DHCP or or manually enter an IP address.
4. Close the TCP/IP control panel.
5. Click Save when prompted.
b) enable Appletalk, in the Appletalk control panel
c) click the checkbox to enable the "Enable File Sharing clients to connect over TCP/IP", in the File Sharing control panel
d) make sure you have selected something (a file, folder, or the entire hard drive) to share
After doing all this, it should be possible to connect to the PowerMac G3 from the iMac, at the IP address of the PowerMac G3.

  • I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old sys parts

    I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

    The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

  • IMac G5 (no isight) power supply keeps failing

    I had some trouble with my iMac G5 (no iSight) about 5 months ago with the power supply. I replaced the power supply, worked great for 5 months and now it's doing the same thing (turning off suddenly, trouble rebooting). I've done all the resetting of PRAM, NVRAM and SMU. Wouldn't start at all (white light would just flash) until I reset the SMU again. Didn't see any leaking items inside the machine like I've read about. I'm curious if anyone knows if I'll have to keep replacing the power supply every 5 or 6 months?? Could there be something else wrong? Thanks a ton.
    RG

    Did you replace the power supply yourself, or did you do it under Apple's Repair extension programs? You may still be eligible for free repairs if your serial number is correct.
    In addition to a power supply problem, you could have dried thermal paste or a bad connection which would cause the same symptoms.

  • Graphics problem on iMac G5 w/ iSight.

    I just tried installing a 1GB RAM stick in a 17" iMac G5 (iSight). The machine has 512MB of RAM (the standard), and a 1.9Ghz processor. It is running Mac OS X 10.5.7.
    My friend, who owns the iMac told me she'd been seeing some weird graphics artefacts and had been having several lock-ups on the computer which required a forced restart to fix. I didn't know what to make of this and said I'd check it out when I went to install the RAM for them.
    The problem alarmed me - rather than a few stray black lines that I had been told about, I found all of the following issues.
    1. Black / White or Transparent lines on windows and toolbars. These were particularly predominant on menus and other semi-transparent parts of the screen, but also occurred on solid windows - such as Safari.
    2. Blank screen - the screen would just go blank after a few moments.
    3. Screen freezes - everything on screen would stop other than the arrow. Sometimes this would stick as an arrow, or sometimes as a beachball.
    4. A really strange phenomena when I opened a browser page and suddenly the left of the screen slowly faded to black, while the right went white. This went in increments as I watched with the image of the desktop distorted behind it, burning out.
    To try to fix the problem I took the following steps:
    1. Reinstalled Mac OS X 10.5.7 Combo Update. This had no effect.
    2. Repaired permissions. (I didn't expect that to help anyway)
    3. Tried booting into a second user account on the computer (again, all the same problems were there - even worse on the other account in fact.
    4. Unplugged all peripherals (no effect)
    5. Removed the 1GB memory stick I had just installed - this appeared to fix the issue and I thought that maybe this was causing it. However, after a few minutes of normal operations, the problems all came back.
    Just to clarify - the problems apparently started a week or so ago (this might coincide with the owner installing Mac OS X 10.5.7, but I can't be sure), at this point the computer only had its built-in 512MB RAM. With the additional 1GB RAM that I installed, the problems seemed to be worse. I know there is nothing wrong with the RAM as I had been using it in my iMac G5 up until this point.
    I initially suspected the problem was the graphics drivers - as the problem occurred after upgrading to OS X 10.5.7, though I wondered if the problem could be the GPU itself?
    However, I am now wondering if it's a RAM issue as additional RAM makes the problem worse - would having more in the computer change the way that the internal RAM is being accessed and mean that the end addresses of the built-in RAM are being accessed more quickly when additional memory is installed?
    I was unable to find out if the machine would work alright if booting from the Leopard or original install Tiger DVD - as I didn't have time to check these.
    Please advise me what I can do to diagnose the problem further, or what the owner can do to fix the problem.

    "I will have to dig out my copy of Leopard or the original installer for my iMac G5 (w/iSight) as the owner doesn't know where her copies have gone! Maybe trying these will help find a solution"

  • IMac G5 w/iSight With A Weird Circle

    I'm having an odd problem with my 20" iMac. I bought a new HDD and I'm not able to get to the desktop so I can install it.
    It seems I've tried everything but so far nothing works.
    Here's the problem:
    no matter what key I hold down, or whether I have the HDD installed internally or externally, it starts right up and goes to the apple and spinning gear.
    I'm using the correct start up disk for the iMac BTW. Anyway just when I think, all right here we go, I see a circle with a line through it where the apple was and I'm stuck.
    There gear keeps spinning but nothing else happens and I have to shut it down. I've tried resetting the pram and using the option key key, which clearly shows the install disk which I choose, but again after a few seconds I get the circle with the line through it.
    Do any of you have any ideas? Thank you!

    Let us know how things turn out, and also, please put your model iMac (e.g. iSight) in your specs that appear at the bottom of your post, it makes things easier and helps us to make model appropriate suggestions.

  • IMac 17" with isight RAM question

    I want to expant RAM on my old iMac - iMac 17" with iSight, 1.9 GHz, introduced october 2005
    Is this RAM module going to be compatible?
    DDR2
    *2 GB*
    *533 MHz*
    PC4300
    1,8V
    *240 pins*
    *Cas Latency: 4*
    My concern is if the certificate (PC4300) is going to be compatible. Apple website says that there should be certificate PC2 4200.
    Thank you for your answer. Greeting from Czech Republic.

    Welcome to Discussions - the specs for your memory are
    iSight:
    1. PC2-4200
    2. unbuffered
    3. nonparity
    4. 240-pin
    5. 533 MHz
    but I think the 4300 would work, just make sure that you can return it if it doesn't and that you get a lifetime guarantee.

  • Trouble using AirPlay between iMac and AppleTV

    I'm running OS X Lion 10.7.5 and I'm having trouble using AirPlay between iMac and AppleTV (2nd Gen).  It used to work fine, but for some reason it just stopped responding.  I can see my media on my iMac from AppleTV and I can see AppleTV from my iMac when attempting to use AirPlay.  However, when I try to pull or push media from my iMac to AppleTV it just stalls and never loads.  AirPlay works fine from my iPhone and iPad with AppleTV - it's limited to my iMac only. 
    I'm using a Netgear R7000 wireless router and a Netgear AC120 WiFi Extender and as such, I have 4 available wireless networks (2 from the router and 2 from the extender / 2 - 2.4 GHz and 2 - 5 GHz).  My internet access is great and my network performance is good across the board.  All of my software/firmware is up to date (iMac, AppleTV and router/extenders). I've tried all combinations (mixing/matching) all of my wireless networks between devices (iMac/AppleTV) - nothing makes a difference (again, AirPlay works fine between my mobile devises/AppleTV).  Netgear Genie has been making changes to my network settings as new firmware has been installed in both the router and extender.  I'm guessing there is something screwy going on with the network settings on the iMac, but I can't figure it out.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I'm glad you got it all working. Out of interest, how do you (or your son) connect to the internet now? Is it just a dial-up connection? If it is, I am sure you know that, even if you get the Apple TV to share the connection, the speed will seriously limit the use of many of the Apple TV's features.
    The Airport Extreme is a great router but you will need a DSL or cable modem as well as it won't connect to the internet without one. There are many great (and cheaper!) combined modem/routers available if your son wants to get a high-speed network up and running at lower cost. Any other computers, phones, games consoles etc that you may have in the house can then all connect easily.
    I hope that I have helped a little and I will look out for future posts in case I can help again.

  • IMac G5 17" iSight display problem

    Hi - I have an iMac G5 17" iSight. Specs are 1.5 Ghz G5, 2.5 GB RAM, 150 GB Hard Drive and SuperDrive. The Hard Drive is wiped clean, I boot it with an external FW drive running 10.5.7.
    Here are the issues: As soon as the machine boots, the LCD shows 3 permanent vertical lines on the screen. This is as soon as it displays anything, from the initial Apple logo all the way until shutdown. While it is on and booted up to the desktop, it runs fine, except sometimes it will randomly refresh the screen or change resolutions. These are the only issues.
    While I am quite sure it is one of three things (inverter, video cable or LCD), I still took the typical troubleshooting approach and tried any quick fixes I could. These included-
    1. Boot off of known good OS
    2. PRAM Reset
    3. SMU Reset
    4. Reseat RAM
    All of these had no effect. From there I tried two more things-
    1. External display via mini VGA
    2. Ran Apple Hardware Test
    3. Ran LCD tester
    The external display worked perfectly, which tells me that it isn't the GPU/logic board. I ran AHT and the logic board passed both quick and extended tests. During the extended test I got an error for the ATA bus/drive, but I haven't looked up the error code yet. Everything passed in the quick test. I used the LCD tester, which puts solid colors on the screen (Red, Green, Blue, White, Black). The 3 lines run across the whole screen vertically, and cannot be seen on a solid white screen. On the solid black screen they show up yellow and purple.
    Here is a screen shot showing the three vertical lines-
    http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y93/thisismymind/untitled.jpg
    I was wondering if there is an easy way to diagnose this just by looking at it. I was figuring replacing the inverter and/or the video ribbon cable first before replacing the LCD... but if anyone here can diagnose it easily than that may save some time.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Imac G5 (pre isight). Mass Storage Error

    I have an imac G5 (pre-isight). Using Tiger. Recently it has been playing up. Two main problems: starting up and waking after sleep mode.
    *Starting up issues*
    There doesnt seem to be a consistent problem here. Sometimes it hangs on the grey apple screen, sometimes grey probitory sign screen. Sometimes it hangs on a black screen with white writing. On about the 10th to 20th time of rebooting, it seems to startup and work fine.
    *Sleep issues*
    If I leave the computer to go into sleep mode, it tends to freeze in whatever application is open. Especially Safari.
    I have tried numerous fixes. I've reset PRAM, done the SMU thing. Repaired and verified disk many times. Repaired and verified permissions. I've archived and installed and archived and erased. There's barely any software on here apart from the operating software and MS Office (legal). I'm using an apple keyboard (wired) and a wired mouse. There's no important info on here so am happy to wipe everything.
    Finally i did a hardware test and received a "mass storage error" (only appeared for the extended test)...
    2STF/8/3: S-ATA Bus 0 –Master
    Having looked up several forums i replaced the hard drive. (Made sure it was compatible, similar size and same specs as original). Reinstalled software and got all the latest updates. Seemed to be working quite well for a day or so, although there was a few 'permissions' error which seemed easily fixed.
    Today i awoke the imac and it had frozen. Back to it's old tricks. Tried restarting and got grey screens, black screens etc. Repaired permissions. Ran another hardware test and getting the same error message about mass storage!
    So if it's not the hard drive, what's wrong for my imac? Is it time to just dispose it?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have.

    The recall ended many moons ago, and it's a capacitor problem, they all need replacing, those in the power supply as well, probably.
    If you are handy with a soldering gun, have steady hands and are good at repairing electronics, you can do it yourself. Look at [welovemacs.com] or [synaptech.com] for parts and advice.

  • IMac G5 17" iSight No keyboard/mouse

    I have a 17" iMac G5 w/ iSight (1.9Ghz). It boots up but loses the ability to power the keyboard and mouse at log in. Actually, I can get the mouse to light up if I plug it directly into the computer, but no control of the cursor.
    Any suggestions or advice? Thanks in advance.
    Sean

    Two things, first, reset the SMU and then, if you can connect to the keyboard, reset the PRAM.
    If that doesn't work try using Target Disk Mode to run Disk Utility and repair the drive. Try to borrow another keyboard and mouse and see if they work, also, try logging in on another account and see if you can work that way.
    Please let us know how things work out,

  • Final Cut Express + iMac G5 w/ iSight

    Hey everyone.
    Would Final Cut Express v.2 work on an iMac G5 with iSight. I know that certain versions of Final Cut Pro won't because of the video card incompatibility, but is it the same with Express?
    Please get back with any responses you feel helpful.
    Jason

    Hi Jason.
    Your Mac has a PCI card instead of an AGP one which FCE is designed to use.
    There is a workaround for G5 Macs with PCI cards and also Intel-Macs that some people have been able to use.
    There is no danger to your computer because you are not altering anything other than 3 letters in part of the FCE code. There is also no risk to FCE because even if the worst should happen, the most you would have to do would be to re-install it:-
    1. Right click on the FCE icon and select "Show Package Contents".
    2. Open the "Contents" folder and double click the "info .plist". It should open automatically in TextEdit - if it doesn't, choose TextEdit manually.
    3. Around 15 or so lines down you will see AGP. Delete it and put in PCI.
    4. Close the window and when asked if you want to save the changes, say yes.
    You should then be able to open FCE and use it normally. (On Intel-Macs it may well work slowly).

  • IMac G5 (w/iSight) running slow and hot on web browsers

    Hello-
    I've had my iMac for 4+ years and haven't any problems I couldn't fix on my own until now....
    Machine is an iMac G5 w/ iSight with all original hardware except an extra 2GB of memory (for a total of 2.5). Over the last couple of months, my web browsers have begun to run slower and slower (mainly Safari, but I also use Firefox). Also the processor fan (I believe) comes on more quickly and frequently. It is now to the point that anytime there are any imbedded graphics, whether it's a youtube video, or a weather radar loop, or my kids are on webkinz, the fan kicks in and the top left corner gets extremely hot to the touch. As soon as I leave the page or close out the browser, the fan dies down. I cannot run any of these sites optimally. I am also getting quite a lot of page loading errors in Safari such as "Safari can't find the server." However, when I hit refresh the page comes right up. There does not seem to be a pattern to these messages. This only seems (so far) to be an issue with the browers. Today I simultaneously played a DVD, played songs on iTunes, and work in MS Word. No fan...
    Here's what I've done so far:
    Repaired disk permissions
    Ran the extended hardware test (passed, no errors)
    Ran diagnostics on my network connection (passed)
    Reset Safari and Firefox incl. clearing the cache and deleting all cookies
    Ran cleaning and maintenance w/ OnyX
    Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks...

    Which Camino? Do you have the latest, which I think is 2.0.3? It's difficult to pinpoint why all your browsers might be slow to load.
    You could try the Servers from OpenDNS which may be faster (and safer, since they are patched for DNS poisoning/redirects) than those of your ISP. Put these numbers in Network> DNS for the interface your are using, eg. Ethernet, Airport:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Then check to see if it's working by going to
    http://www.opendns.com/welcome/
    You can also test your speeds here
    http://www.speedtest.net/
    Here's something to read on slow browsers (in this case, Safari, but applicable to any browser.)
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10354948-263.html
    If the refresh option works quickly, that might indicate that your Internet speed is slow. Once you've been to a page, it's stored in the browser cache, so it doesn't need to reload everything from scratch. I don't notice any difference in speed from refresh loading, so I suppose my Internet speed, though only around 1MBPS, is fast enough not to have to depend on the cache.
    I don't know for certain if that indicates a problem, but the CPU spiking temporarily to 100% on loading a page doesn't sound like a big problem. Your processor is by now relatively slow compared to newer machines and web pages are getting more complicated with more elements to load all the time.
    Finally, those G5s do run kind of hot; it will only delay the arrival of the hottest temps, but putting a fan at the back does help a little. I use one even on this new iMac.

  • IMac G5 w/iSight freezes up with distorted screen

    I have a 20in iMac G5 with iSight and it isn't even six months old yet. At least once a night the screen turns goofy, not really pixilated but kind of crosshatched. (usually from the bottom - up) The mouse still moves but nothing is clickable and I can't get to my dock. Force quit doesn't work and I am forced to restart. I thought I had it narrowed down to two applications that caused it, but last night it froze up while re installing software and listening to iTunes.
    As you can tell from my name I am a convert from a pc. I work on both a mac and pc for work and I haven’t had a problem with the Powerbook at all. I love it. I wish I could say the same about my own machine. Currently, I find the new commercials ridiculous with the pc constantly freezing up and the mac is fine. My pc didn't freeze up half this much. I am frustrated because I just lost my recent work for my final project for Grad school and I could have thrown this thing out the window last night. Can someone please help with my frustrations.
    The Convert

    No it was an "Recognized by Apple Computer, Inc. as an Apple authorized reseller with demonstrated expertise in providing consultation and service for Apple computers." That quote was taken right from their site.
    I thought the same thing as you. There was no way it was a font but I am relatively new to troubleshooting on a Mac so I didn't argue.

I checked with the manufacturer's web site and they both drew the same power so there was no problem. I went from a 250GB to a 400GB drive.
