Help, Kernel Panic transferring HD to new Intel Imac

My Imac 500 has a Kernel Panic error and I will need to get my files to my new Imac Intel. Can I do this without resolving the Kernel Panic error? Will my Intel Imac see the HD on my Imac 500 while it is in this error mode?
Any help is appreciated.

You should be able to use the Migration Assistant to move your user account to the new computer as long as there is no problem with the old computer's disk drive.
Shut both computers off and connect them via a Firewire cable. Boot the old machine into Target Disk Mode. After the TDM logo appears boot the new computer normally. The old computer's disk drive should appear on the new computer's Desktop. Open Migration Assistant (Utilities folder) on the new computer and use it to transfer your user account to the new computer.

Kernel Panic with Netboot Across Subnet Intel iMac

I have a problem with trying to netboot a intel iMac across the subnet. It connects up goes to the spinning globe then the spinning globe stops spinning and I get a kernel panic.
I've tested that the mac can netboot in the same subnet as the netboot server. But I've got no idea why it's getting a kernel panic when trying to netboot across the subnet.
I'm using bombichs NBAS version 1.2
OS X 10.4.6 Server on the netboot server
I've created the intel netboot image via the updated 10.4.6 "System Image Utility" and have enabled it via Server Admin.
Here is the log I get after the restart.

Transferring data to new Intel iMac

What is the most efficient way to move files, iTunes music, settings, etc. from my current G5 to a new Intel based iMac? I'm thinking external hard drive but I might be missing something.
Thanks.

Yes, it will ask you if you have another Mac you would like to transfer data from - you will need a firewire cable. [Here's|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1554] some info from Apple.
Hope this helps,

Transferring Applications To New Intel iMac

Hey All, I just ordered my new iMac. I have been currently using the G4 Flat panel iMac which has continued to serve me well. I have Final Cut Pro that I want to put on my new machine but because of the new intel chips, I am not sure if I have to purchase the program again or what. I wouldn't think that I'd have to, I just want to find out if there are any general G4,G5, to Intel transfer issues in terms of software.
mytreeofthorns

Hello,
hi, mytreeofthorns
welcome to the forum
this is not an answer to your problem, sorry for this, but i'm sitting with the same question: i want to by an intel mac in addition to my iMac: can I use my "old" software such as "MS Office" and others? From other posts here i understand that it will work ("Rosetta" seems to do the job behind the screens), but it might be somewhat slower. The advice I've seen is, to buy sufficient RAM.
Did I get it right? Perhaps someone with experience can confirm before I spend my money.
Thanks in advance!

Help transferring to new intel iMac

Hello,
I will be getting a new intel iMac in the next week or two, to replace my failing revision A iMac G5. My problem is that the old machine will not be here anymore when the new machine arrives, and I want to make the transition as smooth as possible. I will have a complete backup of the G5 on an external firewire drive, and was wondering if I can use the migration assistant to update from there? Would there be any major problems with preferences that are transferred from the G5 to the intel? What are some of the problems, or quirks I should look out for? Will my Epson Stylus Photo 960 still work? I'm sure the HP Deskjet 970 Cse is no longer an option. Will M$ Office work ok in Rosetta? I know that FCEHD will need to be updated, but that's about all I really need to worry about right now, the kids games can be replaced/updated all in due time, (slowly.)
I know it's a bunch of questions, and I appreciate any and all advice.
Thanks,
Eric.
iMacG5 20 Rev. A, 2 GB Ram, 250 GB HD, BT Mac OS X (10.4.3) 250 GB Ext. HD, 30 GB 3rd Gen. and 6 GB iPod mini

Eric,
Surprise! both the Epson and the HP 970cse are on the list as having new universal binary drivers already installed inside the Tiger OS that will arrive on your iMac Intel.

New intel iMac 20" problems...please advise.

I just purchased my first Mac last week. It is a 20" Intel iMac Core Duo with 2 gigs of RAM (apple RAM installed on site). After a day of use I began to have random kernel panics. Later, my system would shut down after two hours of use. I reset the SMC and that did the trick for 3 days. Now the top of the unit near the camera is getting hot and when I boot up from a shut down, the system does not boot to the desktop... it boots right into sleep mode, then takes about 15 to 20 minutes to wake from sleep mode where it goes into a couple of restatrs. Over the phone assistance has not been able to diagnose the problem and hardware tests all indicate that there are no problems. Furthermore, my work hours make it realy difficult for me to schedule time with a genius. I switched from a pc to a mac because I was tired of the problems with my pcs, but I am having far more trouble with my mac.

I will call apple when I get home. I have apple care for three years. The tech support has been good, but they are worried about the heat eminating from the area by the camera. Sadly, all the techs at my local apple store tell me that they are unfamiliar with the new intel iMac core duo and don't know what else to do. To top it all off, there was a popping sound from my mac and the the sound went out. I toggled the volume on the keyboard and the sound came back. I was told over the phone that I have to make an appointment with a genius to look at my system, but that they would only replace it if necessary. Sadly, my work schedule does not permit this. I wish I could just walk in and get the blasted thing replaced.

Printing problems with HP laserJet 1320 and new Intel iMac

My new Intel iMac won't print to my HP 1320 from Eudora or from web browsers. The applications "quit unexpectedly". From Safari, nothing happens.
I can print PDF documents and Office documents with no problems. The Intel is connected to a router via Airport. The printer is connected to the router via Ethernet. My old G4 iMac prints fine (connected to router via Ethernet) as does my G4 laptop (connected via Airport).

A post from another threat that might help.
From Payson
Solution!!!
Just spent 90 minutes with some nice folks in level 1 and level 2 support.
Problem seems to be that I used migration utility to import the soul of my old machine into the new machine. When you do that, you bring along the old print system (PPC vs Intel).
I had upgraded to 10.4.5 after the migration and assumed that it would correct any problem like that, but it had not.
After a great deal of trial and error, the solution was to go to move disk/library/printers to the desktop and restart the system
Then use the the install disk 1 that came with the iMac and use the OPTIONAL INSTALLS package to reinstall the printer drivers.
Worked like a champ.
Suspect similar problem might happen for any of you with I/O drivers.

My G5 iMac died how do I move iTunes that I bought to my new Intel iMac

I was able to save the hard drive from my dead G5 iMac and it's now a bootable image on an external firewire drive.
How can I move all my iTunes that I bought to my new Intel iMac?
BTW from what I've read you shouldn't use Migration Assistant when moving from a PPC to an Intel Mac so I don't think I want to go that route.
Any ideas as to how I can do this and not lose all my iTunes that I bought?

i think this should work:
1) boot from the image.
2) use these tips to move the library from the image to another external HD. from the iMac, use the +choose library+ operation below.
or
3) if you have a suitably sized iPod, click here.
or
4) drag & drop the entire iTunes folder to the iMac. put it in the proper location on the iMac in HD/users/your_name/music (overwrite the iTunes folder there - presumably void of any content right now). when done, on the iMac, launch iTunes with the option key pressed. you will see this window
click on +choose library+ and navigate to the +iTunes library file+ (inside the iTunes folder you just dragged & dropped).
any help ?

Transfering from G5 to Intel iMac

Hi everyone. My first post here. I have a 20" G5 based iMac I have been using for a bit. I am about to upgrade to 24" Intel iMac. Since I started using OS X, transferring data from one to another has been simple, just attach a firewire cable and good to go.
However, now I am moving over from PPC to Intel, I am faced with either using that method or fresh install to take advantage of as much Intel based software as possible. Main programs I am worried about are MS Office X and Adobe CS3 Premium. I also paid for a bunch of shareware as well. I am fairly certain that when I do the transfer, program does not install the Intel version unless it's Universal. Do some programs tell you to upgrade to Intel version when you run the PPC version? Many questions...
So, what is your recommendation? Fresh install or transfer then individually figure out which ones replace? Thanks much in advance.
Ben
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi, just to let you know, I transferred by saving everything but Apps on an ext HD. Then transfering to my new intel, Apps are best installed from the CD-rom. Shareware Apps, go onto the site and re download, you should have the "key" backed up in your computer.
I used this method for Image Tricks and a bunch of others...In real estate the motto is, Location, Location, Location, with computers it's Back Up, Back Up, Back Up...L

HT1338 How do I migrate from G5 iMac (PPC) 10.4.11 to a new Intel iMac?

I am running OSX Tiger 10.4.11 on an iMac G5 PowerPC from 2006. If I upgrade my hardware to a brand new Intel iMac running Mountain Lion as I am considering, how do I best migrate from my old machine to the new, problem free?
I believe that I can't upgrade beyond 10.4.11 on my G5 as it isn't supported so my problem is a dual upgrade/migration one!
I'm also aware that I can't run PPC software on an Intel Mac but I'm really having trouble getting my head around the problem of such a large, combined hardware and OS upgrade! HELP - what do I need to do?? Simple explantions only please!
PS - Apologies if this aimed at the wrong community or it is not presented correctly - it's my first post!
Many thanks,
Len57

Thanks Mende1; I know that PPC apps won't function on Intel machines but I can migrate the Universal apps, right? There is such a large gap between Tiger and Mountain Lion - can I still migrate files directly from one to the other taking the Universal apps as well? Sorry, I'm not very computer savvy!

Transfer content from old power imac to new intel imac

What are the dos and do nots when transferring the content from my 6 year old power imac to a new intel imac top of the range?
Thanks, Tom

There are caveats migrating from PPC to Intel, I had no problems, but see Kappy's fine/detailed "A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs"...

Importing video from Samsung a707 to new Intel iMac

I've got a new Intel iMac with 3 GB RAM, 500 GB HD, and the Nvidia 256 graphics card... and I've just upgraded my cell phone to a Samsung a707, which has a 2 mp chip, and accepts microSD memory cards. With a 1 GB memory chip, it's supposed to be able to take about a one hour video. I can't find a firewire microSD card reader that would let me import the phone's videos into my iMac. It comes with an SD adaptor, so I could use a firewire SD memory reader too, I think. Does anybody have any suggestions about how I can get the videos on the microSD memory card into my iMac, and then edit them with iMovie?
Thanks for your help!
Tim

Your problems may well be down to the way you connect your camera and in which order you establish a connection. If all else fails voltaic will get the files from your camera in AIC which will readily be imported into im08 for editing.

Apple aware of video problem in the new Intel iMacs

Macworld Daily News
Thursday - February 09, 2006
Apple investigates Intel iMac Front Row problems
By Macworld staff
Apple has confirmed it is aware of, and investigating, reports of video problems in the new Intel iMacs.
Recent reports claimed that some users had experienced random horizontal lines and other video playback problems when playing video in Front Row.
"Apple is aware of this issue and is looking into it," the company said in an email to a web-based pressure group that has been gathering information on the problem. "If a customer has any technical issues, they should contact AppleCare."
The problem is allegedly software-based.

"Sure, I'd be more understanding had it been an issue that required a very special set of conditions to trigger"
Apparently it does as this issue is not affecting all users.
"As I was told, affected owners would not be proactively notified"
Where you you prefer them to use their limited resources, trying to figure out who MAY be affected and sending them some sort of detailed action plan, or spending the resources determining the cause of the issue and developing a solution that can be distributed to the ones who need it not only now, but those that may discover the issue next week?
I can understand that you are frustrated, and don't blame you for feeling that way, but this is an all new piece of technology and bugs are going to come up that were missed in testing. No company can afford to test at a 100% level. To do so would drive the costs so high as to make it impossible to sell the product, especially to the market the iMac is aimed at. Apple has a pretty darned good track record of resolving issues quickly when they appear. Until they do you only have a few choices. Use the workaround until the solution appears, waste time complaining about it, or sell the iMac and purchase a different product. That's really about all you can do!
It was good of you to spend your valuable time, and yes it is valuable, trying to help the engineers or service reps solve the issue. That they spent that much time with you should show their commitment to solving this issue.
Be patient, give them a chance, they have not had long to try and figure this out.

Ichat 3.1.6 keeps crashing on new intel iMac

I never had problems with ichat on my old eMac. However, since I have made a switch to a new intel iMac, ichat keeps crashing in the middle of video conversations. What's more, Safari and Mail also stop working then. The only remedy is to restart the iMac, but these crashes keep coming again from time to time.
Can somebody help?
Regards
Helmut

You bought a new Mac and you can't use it because Safari crashes! Wow, such progress!
I thought Mountain Lion would use Safari 6 not version 5.
You should not have this problem with a new machine. Contact the store and ask them to install Safari 6 for you even if that means the inconvienience of having to take it back to the (real) store.

Sound on new Intel Imac died

Yesterday I set up a brand new Intel iMac for a client. Everything was working perfectly. Less than an hour later she calls to tell me that the sound has died. Sure enough, you can barely hear any sound from the internal speakers. Setting the volume to max does nothing. Even the start up chime is severely muted.
Before I left the client the sound was fine. I had restarted the machine and got a loud healthy startup chime. We sent some messages from Mail.app and the jet whooshing sound was also clear.
After I had left, the client called complaining that a game she was running (Freeverse's 3D Bridge, PowerPC only) had frozen the machine. After force quitting the program, she called back and reported the sound had died.
The Mac in question is an Intel iMac that was purchased last week. It has only the stock RAM (512 MB) and had beedn updated to 10.4.6. I took the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Rebuilt permssions
2. Trashed all sound prefs.
3. Rest PRAM
4. Launched the Audio Midi setup and tried re-setting those prefs.
5. Attached a different keyboard and external speakers.
6. Ran the Hardware test (came up clean)
7. Erased and re-installed 10.4.4
Nothing in the list above has helped. I'm going to attempt to update to 10.4.6 letter tonight. I've done a quick search of the forums, but none of the suggested solutons have helped.
Any, ANY help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Sincerely,
Matt

Do the best thing you can do to a brand new machine
with problems---take it back.
Losing system sounds is one thing (and easy enough to
troubleshoot on your own), but losing your startup
chime is a bit worrisome as this in itself is a
diagnostic signal that tells you everything is ok
with the system. Losing it may be a symptom of a
deeper problem.
You have a 14 day return policy and a full warranty
on the machine so bring it back and let them handle
it.
No sense "troubleshooting" this much on a brand new
machine, if you ask me...
My thanks to everyone who responded. This has been an extremely frustrating experience all around.
Tim:
Thanks for the tip; I'd never even heard of the SMC before. Unfortunately it didn't work. The problem shows up in any other account.
d-mo:
I agree with you. The iMac is a lemon and will have to go back. The irritating thing is that the stupid machine was working when I left the client's. Oh, well.
Again, thanks to everyone for the help.
