How do i move info from ibook to macmini?

I have an older ibook g4 and I want to move most of the file, music and photos over to the new mini.  I picked up a firewire 400 to 800 to connect the two machines.  Everything is hooked up but I can not see either machine on the other.  If I hook up one of my externals via the 400/800 it pops up on which ever machine i connect it too.
Puzzled?

With your computers hooked together as you describe, you need to boot up your ibook in Target mode.  Hold down the "T" key as the computer boots up.  When in target mode your ibook should look like a hard drive to your new Mini.

  • How do I move docs from iBooks to GoodReader, How do I move docs from iBooks to GoodReader

    I am a novice and a Windows user. I started downloading docs and putting them in iBooks or PDF app depending upon the nature of the doc. I have now decided to use GoodReader as a standard. I cannot move the docs from iBooks or PDF app to GoodReader - I have docs all over the place. How can I rganise them? Any assistance would be appreciated.

    There isn't an easy way, as far as I know, to do it directly on the iPad, as the iBooks app doesn't allow you to transfer PDFs to another app. You could open each PDF individually, email it to yourself via the 'share' icon (the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it towards the top left), and then use 'open in' in Mail to open it in GoodReader - but if there are a lot of them then that will be time-consuming. Or you copy them to GoodReader via your computer's iTunes via file sharing : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094
    Even though they aren't iTunes purchases, you should be able to copy them from iBooks over to the Books section of your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and you can then find where they are stored on your PC by right-clicking one of them in the Books part of your library and selecting 'show in explorer' on the popup - that will tell you where they are stored so that you can add them to GoodReader via 'file sharing'.
    I don't know about the other app, but if you can't copy them directly from that app to GoodReader then you might be able to copy them off the iPad via file sharing, and then add them to GoodReader

  • How do I move photos from ibook g4 to new macbook air?

    The file number moves to the stick but shows no contents

    Hello,
    Try going to system prefrences and then share on the iBook. Select share folders and files.
    Using your MacBook Air, go to network from utilities on the top menu and then network.
    With your iBook G4 powered on, connect to the iBook which should now appear under network (Make sure they are connected to the same network or wireless)
    Connect as your iBook user name and password, navigate to the desired folders or files and copy the content to a location on your MacBook Air.
    Best of luck

    How do I move icons from one screen to another. 

    Hold down on one icon until they start shaking, then drag the icon to the edge of the screen, and the screen should slide to the next one, you can then drop it on that screen or drag it again to the edge to move to the next screen.

  • How do I move files from Event Library to Project Library?

    How do I move Files from Event Library to Project Library? I tried drop and drag, that didn't work. I am new to Apple. I have always had a windows box b4 this. If anyone can help, please do. Thanks

    welcome argardner to the  boards..
    you're missing the concept of iM .. you don't move 'files' from Event to Project Library.. Events is the big box of all your imported clips; now, from that box of bricks, you drag the clips into all kind of projects.. you can 're-use' the same clip again'n again in many projects.. you can use all clips of all Events in one Project.. or all clips of one Event in two projects.. or..
    spend some time here:

    the concept of Events & Projects, Clips and Libraries is at first glance very different to 'normal' editing apps, but you'll get convenient to it within minutes..

    How do i move icons from one page to another?

    Tap and hold any icon for a couple of seconds. They'll all start to wobble. Tap and drag the one you want to move to the side of the screen and the next screen will appear; drop the icon on whatever screen you want it on.
    You can also do it quicker in iTunes - connect the phone and click the Apps tab in the main window. You'll see a picture of your phone with the apps laid out. Just click and drag

    I am purchasing a new Macbook Pro after having my old one for six years. I have numerous apps that I have purchased and downloaded over the years. I don't want to loose them and really don't want to have to purchase them again. Can I and how can I move apps from my old Mac to my new one?

    Be sure you back your current system up BEFORE you do anything. If you use Time Machine, migration assistant works well.
