Using the ethernet connections between my emac and my xp can I access files from my mac to the PC. If so, how do I set up filesharing?

Can't print from emac to imac

I try to print from emac to an old imac via a cable network. The imac runs on the latest version of panther and has an HP deskjet 990c printer connected via USB. The network printer can be seen on the emac.
I don't seem to be able to print though. Any idea why?
Regards

Does the eMac happen to have the drivers and or the disc loaded on it. More often than not depending on the several different ways there is to do this sometimes it requires the CD be downloaded on both computers and even though you have sharing enabled if the drivers are not present the machine doesn't know what to do.

How do I add 10G pic's from eMac iPhoto 5 to new macbook with iPhoto 6?

How do I add 10G worth of pic's from eMac iPhoto 5 to new macbook with iPhoto 6?

If you want to maintain the roll, album, keywords, comments and other info you'll need the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. Currently it's the only way to merge libraries and keep all that information.

I have an eMac and am trying to copy/move movie files from eMac to external hard drive for backup. The eMac will not allow me to do this. Keeps reading error -61. Any suggestions are greatly appreciate. Thanks!

How do I combine double accounts after migration from eMac to iMac?

After using migration assistant I have two accounts, one for my old eMac and one for my new iMac.
Both were running Mac OS (10.5.7)
Also, the Mailboxes in the old eMac account are not in Mail any longer. Can they be found and restored?

You are welcome!
For the log out issue have a look: "Apple / System Preferences / Security" and besure that the box for "Log out after ?? minutes of inactivity" is unhecked.
Then Run Repair Disk Permissions from this [How to Repair Disk Permissions|http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/05/14/how-to-repair-disk-permissions -in-os-x> link and test it for a day or so befor you reinstall the OS X.

HOW DO I MERGE FILES FROM EMAC TO MACBOOK W/O having 2 logins?

I used transfer manager to move files from old eMac to new MacBook ...now it is like I have two computers....I have to log off from the MACBOOK "side " and log in like I was on my old eBook to get to those files??? At a minimum I want my iPhotos and my iTues files on the MACBOOK side

You could log into the migrated account then delete the Setup Assistant account. Then change the account name to whatever you prefer. To do that see the following:
Macworld | Changing the short username in Leopard - use the procedure titled, "The Full Monty."
OS X- How to change user short name or home directory name

Moving old iPhoto 6 file from eMac to new iMac with iPhoto 8

I plugged in a portable hard-drive to my old eMac, dragged the iPhoto icon into it and waited as it copied into the portable HD. When I tried up-loading it into my new iMac (with iPhoto 8), nothing would happen. Same for iTunes. Any suggestions? I'm sure I'm missing something critical. It seemed too easy, even for a Mac. Thanks from Canada.

Wow. I must be really slow. I tried entering that info (using Richard Campbell)for USER NAME and still nothing would show using Spotlight.
I've bought a firewire cable and will try connecting it from my old eMac to the new iMac. maybe using the migrating software will help. Or is that a bad idea?

Transferring iPhoto collection from eMac to new iMac

I'm stumped here. I tried burning CDR back-ups of my iPhoto collection (with Tiger installed) on the old eMac and then inserting the CDRs into the new iMac which has Leopard installed. That doesn't seem to work. Many of the photos are only a few kbs in size. Yet some are around 400 kbs too.
There must be an easy, efficient way to transfer photos. After all, these are Macs we're talking about!!
Any ideas? Thanks from Canada.

I actually did copy iPhoto from the eMac to a portable HD. Still no luck. However what I did was drag the desktop iPhoto icon to the portable HD. It took awhile to transfer but it still doesn't seem to work. Maybe just dragging the iPhoto icon isn't the right way.
I find it odd that even when I burned iPhoto to a CDR from my eMac (this was when it was able to hold my photos, now there's way too many), it still wouldn't transfer to the new iMac's iPhoto. Again, I must be missing something fundamental here. I'm just so used to dragging and copying.

Transferred appleworks documents from emac to new iMac and can't open. what app can i use or get? help! i'm not computer literate.

I TRANSFERED APPLEWORKS DOCUMENTS FROM AN eMAC TO A NEW IMAC AND CAN'T OPEN THEM. THE MESSSAGE STATES THERE AR NO APPS GO TO THE APP STORE. WHAT DO I NEED TO PURCHASE OR GET? I'M NOT A COMPUTER GUY BUT I WANT MY RECEPIES AND STUFF. HELP

Welcome James!
For no cost, you can try the open-source productivy suite LibreOffice. I don't have any AW files here to test but there are reliable reports that LibreOffice can open at least some AW files:

Please turn off your caps lock key. All-caps text is harder for us to read and is considered "shouting" or "anger" by most internet text conventions. Thanks!

File transfer from eMac to new iMac

I plan on transferring files from my eMac (10.4.11) to the new iMac with mountain Lion. Since the new Mac doesn't have a firewire port, here is my plan:
1) buy a 400 to 800 firewire adapter cable
2) buy a 800 firewire to thunderbolt cable
3) daisychain them and run migration assistant with the eMac in target disk mode
Will this work?

If your old iMac has Firewire, you can use the migration assistant that comes with the new iMac described in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25773
If your old iMac has no Firewire, networking the two machines has differing instructions depending on which operating system is installed on the old iMac. What's the newest operating system you have installed on the iMac G3, if this is the case?
Speaking of operating systems, the iMac G5 does not come with Mac OS 9 preinstalled. Nor is it able to boot into Mac OS 9. However, on its installation disks is a program to "restore" Mac OS 9 so that it can be used in Mac OS X's "Classic" environment. The Classic environment allows most Mac OS 9 applications to work, though many drivers that previously worked under Mac OS 9 may not work within the Classic environment for specific peripherals, and graphics drivers for specific games. If you were only using Mac OS 9 previously, you may want to keep around the iMac G3 for those Mac OS 9 applications that don't work in Classic. One of these three articles explains how to load the Mac OS 9 system folder from the iMac G5 disks:

I'm not sure which one is appropriate.

From emac to new imac

I jUST GOT MY NEW G5 and was curious to the protection plan. I bought my emac three years ago from comp usa with a three year service plan and never used it. I did not purchase the plan on my new imac. Do you think this was a bad idea? Also, can you still purchase the plans from Aplle/compusa after the purchase. If so how long do you have. Thanks

I too had been questioning buying applecare. I got my iMac December 5 2005, and in January the harddrive had to be replaced. Yes I was very very happy I have a one year warranty and of course all I did was drive about 20 mins and drop it off at the local applestore and they replaced it in a timely matter. But it has made me think, Im still use to my windows days and I have replaced many a harddrive in those machines, all I had to do was buy a harddrive and pop it in. You cannot do that with this iMac and it would cost about $400 if it were not under warranty, so yeah before the date in december of 2006 I will be getting applecare,,,, just in case
I LOVE THIS iMAC

How to transfer files from emac and tiger to iMac

I am getting a new intel based iMac. How can I transfer from old eMac with Tiger OS?

What you're going to need to do is physically transfer files from your old computer to the new one. Just doing a migration will not work.
What kind of information do you want to transfer?
1. Connect the computers onto the same network. I'd recommend using an ethernet cable over a wireless network.
2. On your old computer, go into system preferences> sharing> and turn on file sharing.
3. Repeat step 2 on your new computer.
4. On your new computer, go into the Finder, open a new window. Underneath "shared" on the left hand side you should see your old computer. Select the computer and connect as the admin user of your old computer (so use your old username and password).
5. Inside of this finder window, you can navigate to the files you want to transfer.

Move/play/auth iTunes TV shows from eMac to PC running windows ME?

How can I play the tv shows I've downloaded, on to my emac, on the PC. Itunes doesnt support ME. Do I need to be connected to itunes store to authorize PC?
Do I need a certain version of QT (like the mac) to play tv shows on PC?
Thank you in advance
Deb
eMac 10.4 iTunes 6.04 QT 7.1
Windows ME QT 6x
eMac 2005 1.42ghz 10.4 From OS9 Heaven To OSX Hellp

Yes, you have to connected to the "net" long enough to authorize the system. There's no way around that. You should be able to play videos as long as you're using at least iTunes 6 & the QT you have. Since iTunes doesn't support ME, you will probably not be able to do this, if you need to download to a PC with ME.

Burning pictures from EMAC to be used in Windows

I tranferred pictures from my digital camera onto an EMAC. After several tries at trying to export the pictures to Finder, changing the format of the pictures to be Windows compatible and tranfering them to a CD for burning, only 1/4 of the pictures burned sucessfully. When I go back and try to look at the pictures on the CD, all the files are there but are listed as having 0 bytes. I'm not sure what i am doing wrong.

First welcome to the discussions.
I have found that most programs generate .jpg formated pictures, however when you place them on a cd it is a good idea to rename each picture.
Example:
kid.jpg
dog.jpg
cat.jpg
Using all lower case followed by .jpg this allows Windows programs as well as Mac iPhoto, Preview to recognise the JPEG format.
In some rare cases I have also found it neccesary depending on how these images were generated to use a Photo Program to re-format them to JPEG.
Create a Folder and after you have re-named your photo's with the .jpg all lower case you place them in that folder.

Use good quality Media,
You will also find that using one of Roxio's Software's will make your burning expieriance much easier.
