How do I set up TC as network drive on my G4 running OSX 10.3.9?

Hello,
I just bought a TimeCapsule and a new Macbook and set it up in my existing network of a PowerBook G4 and Airport. Backup from the new Mac to the TC works just fine.
The Airport Utility on my old PowerBook can see the TimeCapsule as well.
What I want now is to access the content of the TimeCapsule from my G4 in the same way as I can from my new Macbook. How can I do this?
Thanks!

Can't be done as an exact copy from one Mac to the other. The operating systems are system specific. First make sure your system doesn't need a firmware update to get 10.2 or later on it. You'll need to install 9 on it if it does, direct from a 9 retail CD that is compatible with it *. This disc can't say Upgrade, Dropin, or OEM. To determine compatibility, identify your G4 tower:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3082
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42739
Then look at the OS 9 compatibility:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
Then apply the correct update
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
The last Mac OS 9 to come retail is 9.2.1, and that's newer than 9.0.4, 9.0.2, and 9.1.
Your ghost image can be done using cloning software, but then you'll have to use a retail 10.3 installer and 10.3.9 combo update on the G4 tower. Then use the Migration Assistant to import the data from the clone of the iBook. The 10.3 retail disc looks like * and does not say upgrade, dropin, or OEM. The 10.3.9 combo update is here:

The clone to an external hard drive can be done with these instructions*:

How can I set up a new network on my apple tv when my remote app isn't picking it up because they aren't on the same network? The actual remote doesn't work anymore, so I've been using the remote app on my phone but now that our internet changed, I can't do anything at all. Please help!

You can't use the remote app to setup a network. If your physical remote isn't working you will need borrow another or purchase a replacement.

Setting Up New External Hard Drive to Backup Windows and OSX

I've just ordered a Western Digital My Book Home Edition 500GB external hard drive from Amazon for £79.17 (c/w 1m eSATA to eSATA cable and shipping in the UK). For the time being, I intend to use it mainly for backup. My MacBook3,1 has a 149.05GB internal drive, which is nearly full. I'd used PC's for more than twenty years before rare financial circumstances enabled me to take the plunge and migrate to the Intel-based MacBook last year. Although the migration process hasn't been without teething troubles, I'm glad I've got a Mac and pleased to say I now feel as comfortable using it as I used to feel with PC's. (But it has taken a year of concentrated effort.) The relevance of this is that I have an awful lot of work in old Windows-based programs, which I need to keep backed-up and accessible. The MacBook's internal hard drive currently has 87.88GB dedicated to the Macintosh HD and 60.86GB dedicated to Windows (Vista, Business edition).
Could you advise me, please: how should I set up the new hard drive with a view to using it to backup the Mac with Time Machine while dedicating a partition for Windows? Actually, I have another desktop with Windows XP, which I'd also like to back up. That hard drive (the XP machine's) is 80GB. Presumably, I'll need to set up partitions for: 1) Time Machine, 2) OSX.5.5 bootable, 3) Windows Vista (on the MacBook) and 4) Windows XP (on the old desktop). If I give 80GB to XP and 70GB to Vista, that leaves 350GB (probably closer to 320-or-soGB in reality) for the MacBook. I don't use virtual machines or any other software to access operating systems - just reboot through BootCamp. What's the best way to go about doing this?

How can I set up a wireless network between two Mac Mini's (media centres)?

I've just received my second mac mini (core duo, 1.83, 1 Gb ram)and want to set up a wireless network to link this with my original mac mini (PPC 1.42, 512MB) and my Belkin wireless router (g std).
I'm using both as media centres in different rooms and want to keep all my media (films, photo's, music etc.) on one mini (connected to a 640GB external drive) and access it over the wireless network. Sort of a more felxible Apple TV setup??
I've got the wireless network working no problems with both mini's connected to the internet over the network but I'm stuck at how I get the two mini's to see each other. I've tried "the Missing Manual" and these forums but no success so far.
I know it can be done but would really appreciate any suggestions/directions on what to do?
Thanks in advance<<br>

How do I set up a wireless network at home??

Hi,
I am new to Mac's. I want to set up a wireless network at home, but I have not got a clue about AirPort, what it is or what it does!?! I am getting a new Mac, but my wife is currently using a Dell Windows laptop and our daughter is using a Windows PC. How do I set up a wireless broadband network at home which works with my Mac and my familys PC's? What do I need to buy and what do I need to do with them? I already have a broadband connection at home. Currently, my wife's PC is connected directly to the broadband modem (via an ethernet cable) that was supplied by the brodband company when I signed up to broadband.
Thanks for all your help with this.

scooter has provided links to Apple's pages for the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
Both of these devices are IEEE 802.11g wireless routers (also called base stations). If you have an Ethernet connection to the Internet (for example DSL or cable modem), you can connect either of these devices directly to that connection and create a wireless network. Since Ethernet and IEEE 802.11g are worldwide standards you can connect any compatible device (including PCs running Windows).
Every computer needs a unique IP address. You can think of an IP address as a street address for your house. A unique address guarantees that items addressed to you get to you.
Typically ISPs provide users with a single (one) public IP address. A public IP address is visible to anyone on the Internet. A router uses the single IP address provided by the ISP and creates multiple local (non-public) IP addresses for you computers. This allows you to use multiple computers.
If you need to connect both wireless and Ethernet computers you will need the AEBS. The AEBS provides a separate LAN port for Ethernet computers.
BTW, you can accomplish the same thing with any inexpensive wireless router.
The advantage of the AEBS over other routers is (a) built-in 56k modem for connecting to a dial-up ISP and (b) USB port for a single compatible printer.
The advantage of the AirPort Express over other routers is (a) sound output port for streaming music to a stereo and (b) USB port for a single compatible printer.

Advice on how i can set up an office network with 40 computers.

I am planning on setting up an office network with 40 computers. What do you think is the best way i can do this? Thank you in advance.

Your first step should be to call an IT professional who has experience with this type of thing. He will need to survey the entire area and ask you dozens of questions about how you want things to operate. Then, he will present you with a proposal for the network listing all of the things that the system can and and cannot do.
Your second step would be to call another IT professional who has experience with this type of thing and go through the same procedure.
Your third step would be the same as the first and second.
Your fourth step would be to check the references provided in the steps 1-3 and then decide on which professional that you want to use.

I have set up my wireless network and now have moved. How can I set up a new network with a different ip address

I have set up my wireless network on airport express and worked great. I have now moved and have a new internet provider and need to change my ip address. How do I do this

Is your new ISP providing you with a static Public IP address? ... or are they providing you with a dynamic IP address via DHCP (this would be the most common method for consumer-grade Internet service.) Next, which version of the AirPort Utility are you using? Finally, which version of the AirPort Express do you have?

How can I set up my home network?

This post might get a little long, and I need someone with patience to help me modernize my network.
Here's what I have:
Modem: Comcast
Router: Netgear WNDR 3700
External Hard Drive : 2 TB Seagate GoFlex Desk
2 HD TiVo's connected via Cat 5
Windows laptop, connected via 5 GHZ network: Acer Aspire 6930 running Windows Vista Home Edition. Intel Core Duo CPU, 2.00 GHz, 4 Gig Ram, 32 Bit operating system. 144 Gig C drive, 140 Gig D drive, 698 External hard drive connected via USB.
MacBook Pro 13”, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB Ram, Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB, running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
iBook G4 13”, 1.2 GHz processor, Power PC G4, 1.25 GB memory
iPad 1, 64 gig w/ cellular
iPad 1, 16 gig w/out cellular
iPhone 4
iPhone 3GS
Apple TV
The Windows laptop was recently wiped out by a virus, so I lost all my programs. The MacBook I use for work (but I own it) and I travel with it, and the Windows laptop stays at home. The iBook is an old Mac I don’t use anymore.
I just got an Apple TV, and here’s my dilemma:
I’m ripping my DVD’s with Handbrake, and putting them in iTunes, but the only drive I have big enough for all of them is the 2 TB Seagate. I would like to leave the Seagate at home, so my wife can watch videos and listen to music when I’m not at home. However, I’d also like access to my music and videos when I’m on the road. Ideally, I’d like the Seagate to be connected to my router as a networked drive, with the iTunes folder housed on it, and be able to sync music and video playlists to my MacBook Pro. My iPad and iPhone 4 syncs to my Powerbook, and I want to be able to transfer videos to the iPad from the MacBook Pro.
So, how can Apple TV see all my media, all the time, yet be able to put media on my MacBook Pro and then to my iPad? I can use the Windows laptop or the iBook as a home media server if need be, but all my ripping and video converting will be done on the MacBook Pro because its the only one that is fast enough.
Thanks Guys!

The best way by far is to run ethernet as a kind of backbone between the two stories.. on one storey setup the AE and the other you setup the TC.
I have no idea if one is the main router or not.. or both are bridged.. that doesn't really matter.. the principle is.. one router per network. So whichever is not the main router change to bridge mode.
Both should create a wireless network. You can use roaming setup, where both use identical names and identical security. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4260

How do I set up a wireless network using Airport Express

I know very little about networking but want to set up a home network so I can distribute my music in the home using iTunes and AirPort Express units. I am hoping to control the music using Remote on iPod touch. I do not have a network setup or anything. What are the step-by-steps?
Thanks.

How to take Auto backup from External Network Drive to Mac pro internal Dri

Hi,
I have a External Network Drive (Buffalo 1TB) which i use as a server, now i need to take auto backup from that external drive to the Mac i am working on, which has 2TB Internal hard Disk.
Please could anyone help me on this.....
Thanks in advance

If you are looking to actually integrate what you have on the external one terabyte hard drive with the 2 TB hard drive you're using inside the Mac the best move for you if you want access to that data when using the Mac Pro server is going into utilities click on the top bar where it says go fall that down to the utilities told them that folder quickly once you are there you will see migration assistant click on that you will be asked to type your admin password to that. It will ask you "how do you want to transfer your information" then select from a Time machine backup or other disk when it asks you will be transferring information to your Mac Pro from your 1 Tb backup external hard drive once it's finished eject the drive or reformat it and use it again if your objective was to infect keep compress the data on the external so you have more space but do not have access to it I strongly recommend Carbon Copy Clone 3.3.1 is 100% free and does a fantastic job here is the link http://www.pure-mac.com/downloads/carboncopyclonerdl.html of copying every block to create an exact replica of your source hard drive. If you want something different and don't mind paying SuperDuper! is a great product as well this WebSite will have many options I would stick to carbon copy clone http://www.pure-mac.com/backup.html I also like EMC Retrospect backup and recovery software for the Mac it is a great product but very much on the expensive side for backup utilities although if you need word offers this might be right up your alley.
I hope I wasn't help,
Sincerely,
Thomas
