How do I connect my two macs

I have a PowerBook G4 and I want to access it from my new MacBook Pro. How do I go about doing that?

Use a FireWire, Ethernet, or wireless connection. If the MacBook Pro's a retina model, you'll need a Thunderbolt adapter to use FireWire or Ethernet.

How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?

Goal
- I am trying to share both my PC and Mac through my Apple TV2 on the "Computers" home sharing menu.
- These are 2 seperate iTunes accounts as they are 2 different owners of the PC and Macbook.
- However, home sharing only allows me to have one at a time, can I not have 2 computers connected?
(The menu is in fact plural and says "Computers" not "Computer")
Attempt
-I turn on home sharing on my PC with my PC iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as PC
-I turn on home sharing on my Mac with my Mac iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as Mac, but it deletes the PC share
Troubleshoot
-So I started from scatch and connected the PC share with my PC itunes account, it shows up,
-Then I connect the Mac home sharing with the same iTunes login as my PC, but it also erases my PC from the "Computers" list and just displays the Mac.
Question
-How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?
-I want them both to show up in the "Computers" list.
-So the final result will look like this on my Apple TV menu:
Computers
-PC
-Mac
whew... I'm out of breath... I hope there is an Apple Genius out there that can help.
Thanks!

After retrying the home share with the SAME ITUNES ACCOUNT ON HOME SHARING I finally got it to work.

The Mini-DVI to DVI adapter is designed for the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4 — allowing you to connect to an external DVI monitor. It can also be used in combination with the Apple DVI to ADC adapter to support older Apple flat panel Studio or Cinema Displays.

I just bought a new iMac and now I am trying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don't have a Mini DisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don't have. Is there any way to connect this two mac's anyway??

Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system. 10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines. Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist. There are no Firewire to USB cables.

How do i connect my new mac mini to the thunderbolt display

how do i connect my new mac mini to the thunderbolt displa, It arrives tomorrow?

It has a built-in Thunderbolt cable, see here: http://www.apple.com/displays/specs.html
So assuming your mini has a thunderbolt port (you said it's new so I assume it does), you'd just plug the display's thunderbolt cable into the mini's Thunderbolt port.

Composite is analogue with one connector. That is why it is called composite
Component is analogue with three connections. I think one for each color
Here is the one for component. I misread composite for component

How do I see my two Macs on the same screen?

This may sound like an extremely stupid question but if I want to use Migration Assistant, how can I see what's going on on both computers when I have only one screen? I have an old Mac Mini and a new Mac Mini. I've hooked them up using an ethernet cable. Am I supposed to be able to see the old hardrive on the new machine?
If I am supposed to hold down the letter T, do I do that just before I turn on the old Mac?
I think it may be simpler just to copy the files I want onto a thumb drive and do it manually.
I'm sure there's a very simple step I'm missing. I even tried watch instructional videos on youtube but can only see instructions on how to do it when you have two screens---a laptop to a desktop, laptop to laptop, etc.
I'd appreciate it if someone could help me with this.
Thanx.

I've never used Migration Assistant, but I'd suggest you get to the point where Migration Assistant asks you if you want to pull data from another drive, then connect the old Mac mini to the new Mac mini by Firewire, and boot it using Target Disk Mode (holding 'T' like you said). The most you'll have to do is move the keyboard from the new Mac mini to the old one temporarily. Migration Assistant should then recognise the boot drive on the old mini and you can proceed.

Wireless connection between two macs.

I have a Intel iMac downstairs and a G4 power pc iMac upstairs. The downstairs iMac has an internet connection, upstairs does not. What do i need to have a wireless connection between the two and how do i go about connecting the two computers?

Hi widge-
What you need will depend on which Macs are already wireless and which you will have to add.
There is a lot more information available here: AirPort + Time Capsule

How to transfer files between two Macs via Firewire cable?

I heard you can transfer selected files between two Macs running Tiger. I'm not talking about setting up a new Mac w. files from an older one, if that's different? Can someone enlighten me on this or point me to a "how-to" link? Thanks.

Yes, you pretty much just drag and drop or copy and paste depending on which way you like better. It is pretty much like connecting an external hard drive. Just find the files you want and copy them over to your other computer.
This is one of my favorite features from Macs. It's very simple to do and because it's Firewire even large files transfer over very quickly.

How should I connect these two AirPort networks?

Hi all,
I have had to reset both of my networks; one an AirPort Extreme and the other an AirPort Express. As it stands, the Extreme has a USB printer and a NAS drive connected to it, while the Express is my gateway to the internet. Right now I have to switch networks to either access the internet, or print.
I'm open to suggestions on how to connect these two networks. My goal is to be able to printer, connect to the internet, and connect to the NAS drive without switching networks.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Ed

One option would be to configure both of your base stations in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). In this type of configuration, you'll be able to both access the Internet and/or print without having to change wireless networks.

How can I sync my two Macs & iphone?

I am using MobileMe before and everything is perfect. I have two Macs running OS10.5, one in my office and one at home. I have an iphone running ios 5.0.1.
Can I sync them all together, eg. Contact, Calendar, Bookmark, Mail etc. How can I sync the calendar on my Mac/iphone with icloud Calendar?

I have two Macs running OS10.5
Your Macs must be running Lion v10.7 in order to setup iCloud.
First, you would need to purchase and install Snow Leopard v10.6 > Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store
Once Snow Leopard is installed, you can download Lion 10.7.2 from the App Store.
Before you do anything, make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements.
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available spare
From here > Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
Read here before upgrading to Lion > Lion upgrade questions: Apple Support Communities

How to synch callendars an two macs?

..aside from subscribing to whatever apple chooses to replace .mac/mobileme/etc.
Is there a file or folder that i can copy or rsync or ?? between two macs periodically so that the "slave" is in sync with the "master" , as i do for normal documents and other files? I'm bit perplexed because:
1. in-use permissions often prohib it the calendars folder from being over-written
2. there are lots of files int eh folder
3. the callendar entry files themselves are grouped in folders of unique names-so file "x" does nto actually exist on both machines.
Thanks,
Grant

Ok I have three macs sharing mobile me. One at work that´s a imac,at home my old Mack book Pro with a big monitor and now I got a beautiful Mac Book Air.
The two computers at home can be connected wireless,I have a time capsule disk that at this moment is only backing up my MBPro. I will use my MBA for everyday use,mails,navigating and for lecturing....with keynote. Basically the documents that I need to share daily will be keynote dcts. And may be some apperture projects.
All the mails calendars etc work beautiful with mobileme.
I don´t really need to conect the imac at work.
Any ideas to make things easy?
If I work only wit dcts does are about 400 KB. If I use my folder of preentations is about 42 GB, I think I just need to work with dcts....
