How do I Transfer Data from my B/W G3 to my new Macbook Pro by firewire?

I just bought a new Macbook Pro and want to move my photo and music files from my G3 to my new computer as efficiently as possible. I thought firewire was the way to go but just learned that I cant put my G3 in target mode. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks!

Macs running 7.5.3 or later can share files easily with Macs running any version of Mac OS X up to 10.3.9, and with a little more complexity any Mac OS X through 10.4.10.
The learning curve is a bit steeper. But this illustrated article will guide you:
http://homepage.mac.com/car1son/os9xnet_nfilesharing.html
Mac OS X 10.4 was revised to make room for Intel Protocols, and AppleTalk-only File Sharing was removed \[AppleTalk Printer Sharing still works]. To do File Sharing with Macs before Mac OS 9, you must initiate the Sharing from the Older Mac or use a third-party program called Shareway IP:

  • Can anyone enlighten me as to how I can transfer data from an extracted hard drive off of a Macbook Pro onto a new Retina model? No SATA port!!!

    Hello,
    I'm trying to transfer data from my old hard drive (taken out of Macbook Pro 2009) onto a new Macbook Pro Retina.  My ignorance is vast and I purchased an eSATA device to do so, not thinking that there is no SATA port on this new computer.  Is there a special cable or anything anyone can recommend?  I'd be very grateful for some help here.     

    I would just get a cheap USB enclosure from OWC, put your old drive in it, and use it it transfer the data to your new rMBP. Cheap and simple. The one I spec'ed is for a USB 3.0 enclosure as you have USB 3.0 ports on your computer - much faster than USB 2.0.

  • How do I transfer Notes from my iPhone4s and iPad to my new MacBook Pro?

    How do I transfer Notes from my iPhone4s and iPad to my new 13" MacBook Pro with retina display?

    Finally figured it out...
    1) Open mail/compose notes on your macbook...
    2) copy and paste every note from Outlook to a new note in Mail.
    3) Open iTunes. In Info/Advanced tick Notes. This will replace / copy all Notes from Mail to your iPhone...
    4) Voila! Notes are on iPhone...
    I must say in spite of all the fabulous advantages of a Macbook and an iPhone, syncing really does suck...
    Transferring data from another smartphone to a Mac or an iPhone is tough...
    Features like "one way / two way" sync for Phone / computer or allowing us to select which whose, phone or computer, will be considered more important so that you can choose whose data will overwrite the other, are not there in iTunes... This is something which really needs to be there...
    Anyways... problem solved for now...
    ciao...

  • How can I transfer data from DD & HD 3.5" floppies to my MacBook Pro running Lion?

    I hope this is the correct forum group,
    and if it’s not, I apologize. I didn't find
    one that was really related to my topic.
    I was given lots of legacy files (mostly Eudora email messages and other text files from 1995-2000) that I need to access from 3.5" diskettes (in both high density and double density formats) and reuse the data in my current environment:
    MacBook Pro (v 4.1) running OS 10.7.
    DHCP over TCP/IP home network with several PCs running Win XP, the MacBook Pro and 2 iPhones; and
    iCloud is setup.
    Also a Mac IIci loaded with OS 7.6.1, which hasn't been booted up in years, but I will try to do that next as I locate a video cable. (Please note that the files in question did not originate from this Mac IIci.)
    Before I get too far down any path, can some one please tell me which route is the most feasible and practical to start with?
    Resurrect the Mac IIci using it’s floppy disk drive to read the files, then:
    Create access to my email and send myself the data;
    Add the Mac IIci to the network in order to move the data;
    Connect it directly to my MacBook Pro and migrate the files;
    OR
      2.  Using am ext USB floppy drive, copy the files directly onto the MacBook Pro;
    OR
    3.  A better approach you might recommend.
    My questions may seem very naive as there might be compatibility issues using the Mac IIci due to the differences in the technologies, I would think.  But perhaps it's doable?
    If I take the second route, I will need to find a compatible ext floppy drive. I have scoured the Internet seeking one that is compatible for Mac and that can read both the 720 kB DD (normal or double density) as well as the1.14 MB HD (high density) formats.  No luck. Most manufacturers do not specify whether or not they support the DD format. The ones that do are for PC. Any suggestions?
    Sorry for being such a dunce about this. I would really appreciate some advice and being pointed in the right direction. Thank you for your time and patience.

    Hi Kurt,
    The Mac IIci is not even powering on at all. Tried again with wih a tested power cable and no luck. 
    I think it's best that take  this issue to the Older Hardware Community. Not only did I see a fair number of replacement parts for the IIci avaiable online, but there also vintage external floppy drives as well. I'm not giving up.
    Thank you for your time and interest in helping.

    What are you trying to transfer? What does the manual say for the Samsung to get whatever data it is that you want to transfer from one device to the other? This may be something you want to ask in a Samsung forum, since you are trying to manipulate a Samsung phone.

  • Transfer info from Ibook G4 10.3.9 to new MacBook Pro

    Hi
    How do I transfer files from my Ibook G4 10.3.9 to a new MacBook Pro? There is no migration assistant on 10.3.9. I have tried a firewire cable but it doesn't recognise the old computer.
    Help appreciated.
    Thanks Kay

    If firewire cables don't work then I would do it manually via a 4 gb flash drive. But follow this article for info:

  • How can I move photos from an external mac hard drive to new Macbook pro?

    Hi I hope someone can help. My girlfriend spilled soda on her 2008 macbook aluminium running Leopard , rendering it useless. She has since bought a new Macbook pro and would like to get her photos from iphoto onto her new comp. I've removed her harddrive from her old damaged computer and put it into an external USB enclosure, her new Macbook picks up the external hardrive but when I try to move the photo folder (drag) onto her new computer, it says something about the version of iphoto not being compatible. Also when i click on the photo folder on the external harddrive there are no photos on it. Any help would be appreciated, and would score me some brownie points with her .

    Does she have any photos in the iPhoto library on her new machine?
    What version of iPhoto does she have?
    The general answer is to trash the iPhoto library on the new computer (assuming it is empty) and drag the old iPhoto library to the pictures folder of the new machine and launch iPhoto letting it convert the library

  • How do i transfer data from one internal tabe to another.

    Hi All,
             How do i transfer data from one internal tabe to another.
             Can i do it ebven if he tables are different in structure.
    Please Advice.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Saket Tiwari,
    I hope the earlier post by kashyap is good enough an answer. anywas in addition to it let me give a detailed
    explanation of how you can populate an internal table.
    1) Append data line by line.
         Syntax :  APPEND [<wa> TO / INITIAL LINE TO] <itab>.
    this appends new line to internal table <itab>.
    2) Using COLLECT statement.
                 COLLECT is another form of statement used for populating the internal tables.  Generally COLLECT is used while inserting lines into an internal table with unique standard key. The syntax for COLLECT statement is as shown
         Syntax : COLLECT [<wa> INTO] <itab>.
    3) Using INSERT statement
         Syntax  INSERT [<wa> INTO / INITIAL LINE INTO] <itab> [index <idx>].
    INSERT statement adds a line/work area to the internal table. You can specify the position at which the new line is to be added by using the INDEX clause with the INSERT statement.
    Now coming to your request..
    To append part or all of an internal table
         Syntax
                  APPEND LINES OF <itab1> [FROM <n1>] [TO <n2>] TO <itab2>.
    *     Note:
    Without the FROM and TO options, this statement appends the entire table <itab1> to <itab2>.*
    b) To insert part or all of an internal table into another internal table
         Syntax
              INSERT LINES OF <itab1> [FROM <n1>] [TO <n2>]
              INTO <itab2> [INDEX <idx>].
    c) Using Move statement.
    To copy entire contents of one table into another in one execution
         Syntax MOVE  <itab1> To <itab2>.
                   OR
              <itab1> = <itab2>.
    but u hav to be careful because he contents of itab2 will eb overwritten on the execution of this statement.
    These copy the contents of ITAB1 to ITAB2. Incase of internal tables with header line we have to use [] inorder to distinguish from work area. So, to copy contents of internal tables with header line  the syntax becomes,
    ITAB1[] = ITAB2[].
    Coming to the letter part of your question, Yes, we can copy values between tables having different structures.
    for this we use    
                                MOVE-CORRESPONDING <itab1> TO <itab2>
        this executes the statement for their header lines. Searches for the sub-fields which occur both in itab1 and itab2 and then generates, for all relevant field pairs which correspond to the
            sub-fields ni , statements of the form MOVE itab1-ni TO itab2-ni. The other fields remain unchanged.
    I hope the information provided has been of your help.
    Reward if useful.
    Regards,
    Jose

  • How do I transfer data from one iPhone to another?

    How do I transfer data from one iPhone to another?

    If your old device is an Apple using iOS 5 or later, and you have an iCloud account, you can transfer all your saved messages, email accounts, photos, notes, and other personal settings to your new iPhone.
    Here's how...
    Connect your old Apple device to WiFi and to a power source.
    Back it up to iCloud by going to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and toggling iCloud Backup on. The time it takes to ba ckup depends on how much data you have and on the speed of your internet connection.
    iCloud backs up your device once a day. If it needs backing up before you transfer to your new iPhone 5, tap Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. Do not start transferring before the backup is finished.
    Turn on your new iPhone and complete the setup by selecting your language and country, and choose whether to enable Location Services. When prompted, choose your WiFi network.
    When prompted to set up, choose Restore from iCloud Backup, tap Next, and enter your Apple ID and password.
    Select the backup of your old device and tap Restore. Wait until the device has finished restoring from the backup.
    When the restore process is complete, your iPhone will restart and be ready to use.
    Connect your iPhone 5 to iTunes to sync data not contained in the backup (such as music, videos, apps, and so on). You can choose the data that are synced by clicking the syncing tabs in iTunes.
