How to connect iMac G5 and iMac rev d, OS 8.6?

Hello. Just bought an iMac G5 and would like to share/transfer files between the two. Is this possible with the OS that I have? Thanks.

I was at the Bridgeport Apple Store this noon and asked an employee at the Genius Bar about this. He said that it was not possible to get the iMac with OS 8.6 on the same network as the OS X iMac because 8.6 didn't come with FireWire. I'd have to upgrade it to at least 9.1. I'd rather not sink anymore money into the old girl. I have a cd-r/w burner hooked up to the 8.6 iMac and could just burn files to a cd that the OS X iMac could then read. Not exactly straight forward, but better than going through the hassle and expense of upgrading.

    How to connect my iPhone and iPad to Apple TV

    Connect the iPad and Apple TV to the same WiFi network. Double Tab the home button on the iPad and then swipe your recently used apps from left to right until you see the mirroring icon which looks like a retangle with an up arrow. Tab that icon until you see the Apple TV. Tab Apple TV and slide the slider to the ON position. You should now see your iPad screen on the TV the Apple TV is connected to.

    Also, make sure that all devices are on the same Wi-Fi network (e.g. not on a "guest" connection), and verify the ATV settings to see that AirPlay (and HomeSharing while you're at it) are turned on.

  • How to connect Master socket and extension to fibr...

    I have just had my fttp service enabled.
    I watched the online video on how to connect my phone, and it says that if you don't have the special socket that allows you to switch from copper to fibre, you should just connect the phne to the modem.
    I don't have the socket, just a normal phone socket right next to the modem.
    How do I connect my extensions? Can I just connect my modem to the socket and go from there, or do I need to do anything else?
    Sorry folks, I know very little about this stuff! 

    There is a guide here.
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/37138/related/1
    My guess is that you would have to disconnect your extension wiring from the old master socket, and plug it into the Tel 1 socket via a phone splitter, if you need a phone near the fibre modem.
    There are a few other FTTP users on this forum, who may be able to give you more advice.

  • How to connect Template project and Implementation project

    Hi Experts,
         I would like to know how to connect Template project and Implementation project
        in Solution maneger.   Please help.
    Best regards,
       Gaito

    Hey Gaito,
    great. Now that you have a template project, you need to create one or more templates within the project template.
    Go to tab Templates (of your Templ Proj) and activate 'Global Rollout Functionnality' to be able to use the templates.
    Create a new template thanks to button create. Visibility will be set to red 'private'. You ll have to set it to visible so it becomes visible from your implementation project.
    You ll see when trying to do that next message 'No scenarios/configuration structures assigned to the template XXXX'. That means that in SOLAR01 you did not define a scenario that ll be used in template you re trying to create
    In order to do that go to SOLAR01 for template project, select/create scenarios in tab structure and set in column template value of your template (the one you re creating in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN) and in Global Attribute set value t Global
    You l definitely find more info on this in sap document SMI310 (course). I don t know if you can find it on internet
    Hope this helps

  • How to connect imac to tv?

    Hello All!
    I was wondering how to connect the imac 27in i5 to my hdtv. does apple offer a HDMI adapter?
    thanks!

    Hello I believe I'm attempting the same thing, and have a few further questions. Specifically this is for connecting a 27" iMac to a Samsung 46" tv.
    I thought I had the video portion down when I bought this cord:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002J28NQ/ref=oss_product
    I still think that may be the right cord. It connects fine to this Apple adaptor cord that came with the computer... I have two of them in fact. However the smaller end of the cord is not the same as what is on this Apple adaptor cord:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTA4NDU0ODY
    I think is the one I used, it has all the pins inside the little end.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9320G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTA4NDU0OTc
    I have purchased this audio cord as well which I'm confident is fine, though hasn't arrived yet:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000067RBT/ref=oss_product
    Could someone help me sort out the video side though?!?! THANK YOU

  • Need to find out a way to figure out how DB2 connect to Oracle and data mirroring etc.

    Hi, Gurus,
    I just take over a project which source is ICOMS as400 db2 database. Seems data mirro CDC is used to replicate from DB2 to oracle.
    I am very new to this datamirror CDC , plus I am new to figure out how db2 connect to oracle, is that through db link or what? or is there tnsnames entry?
    I would like anybody in this forum can point me to the right direction.
    Thanks in advance.

    user9233598, if mirroring/replication from DB2 to Oracle already exists then question is what product is being used?  If the product has already been purchased then I do not think it is very likely that management is going to want to purchase another product so I do not see how extra-cost Golden Gate or other Oracle Gateway features apply if those are not currently in use.  If Golden Gate or the Oracle Transparent Gateway are in use then you already have your answer
    Oracle supports ODBC/JODBC and the replication application on the AS400 likely uses these features or a thick Oracle client as the interface to Oracle.

  • Well I bought a WiFi router. How to connect old Macs and other things??

    Hi,
    I purchased a WiFi router mainly for my PSP but I also want to connect my Macs wirelessly to my router. What older Macs can connect to it and how? What other stuff can connect to it?
    Thanks

    In about an hour AR is going to start complaining about the cost being too high and wanting cheaper alternatives. The solution to each situation exceeds the value of the computers themselves. Don't bother asking if there is another less expensive way to do it because there is not.
    Expect to pay at least $50 for one.
    For the 8600 there's also a Belkin USB adapter that has OS 9 drivers and I believe there are PCI card wireless adapters that work under OS9 as well (although I can't recall which ones).
    *Proxim Skyline PCI wireless card, that is what WAS sold and worked in 8.6-9.x - they are no longer made and the company was taken over by a larger one that stopped all Mac related support so no new drivers were made.
    *Belkin has drivers for the F5D6050 USB device. They are OK, but not as reliable as one would want. Relative to each other the OSX drivers are better than the OS9 ones.
    *Smart money would buy a wireless bridge.

  • How to connect iMAC thunderbolt port to a cable TV set top box?

    I am moving to a house that will have combination TV-phone-Internet services delivered via cable (Optimum is the provider).  I understand that with my new iMac which has a "thunderbolt" port that I can use the iMac as a tv monitor and DVR (recorder) and watch live TV or recorded TV.  I think it is possible to record  TV shows either on the iMac's hard drive or the Optimum DVR.  Beyond that, I get confused because I do not understand the details of RCA cables, coaxial cables, HDMI connectors, etc.  Apple does not provide support for set top boxes (I called Apple), and Optimum does not provide support for Macs (I called them too). Since Apple is the party advertising the capability of watching TV on a Mac, I would think the burden is more on them to explain how that works, and maybe they have done so on their web sites, but I cannot find it so far.  I can understand that the cable company does not want to tell people how to bypass the need for their DVR equipment.  Before I go out and hire a consultant for a few hundred dollars to explain it, I was hoping I might find online some tips on how to set up a system at home.  No luck so far.
    Am I correct in assuming that wireless connections are NOT an option because a TV signal has too much bandwidth to work wirelessly?  (I do have a wireless router already.)
    If so and if I am using wires to connect the iMac, am I correct to think I want to use the thunderbolt port for best results?
    If so, what next?  What exactly is the adapter or cable I need and how do I plug it into the set top box?  There are several people in the household, and so I would want the flat screen TV monitor to work normally at times rather than only use the iMac.  Does that require several set top boxes?   I would think that this would be an issue for many people, and it seems to me that this forum would be an ideal place to get help.  So far the people I have spoken with say "well it depends on what you want to do and what your equipment is and for that you have to go ask ___________[someone else]"

    I do not understand what Apple TV is.  I have TV already.  When I look up "Apple TV" on the Apple website I see that is has been redesigned to be small in size but big in entertainment.  Since I did not know what it was BEFORE it was redesigned, knowing that is has been redesigned does not help me understand it.  Now it is smaller?  So it was too big before?  "Watch Netflix titles instantly."  But I can do that with my mac and an internet connection now.  So what is Apple TV that makes it a better or different way to watch Netflix movies?  "Best of all, Apple TV is just $99"  Sorry, but how is that the Best of All part?  My Optimum Cable is charging me $30 a month for TV.  But Apple TV's best part is it costs $99?  Is that per month too?  I also see that everything streams wirelessly to Apple TV, and all I need it so connect apple tv to my widescreen TV using an HDMI cable sold separately.  Now I am really confused.  I plug in a cable to get wireless streaming?  If it is wireless, why does it need a cable?  If there is a cable involved, how is it wireless?  Color me clueless.  I cannot find a straight forward description of what Apple TV is.  And so I don't get how that is the answer to my question.  Sorry for being so simple-minded.  Thanks for the suggestion and I will go research further to learn what is an Apple TV. 

  • How to connect imac-apple tv

    I'm trying to connect my new apple TV to my imac wirelessly (directly, without a separate wireless router), but I can't figure out how to set up my imac so the apple TV will detect it.
    Any info on how to set up my imac so that it will appear when I search for wireless networks on the apple TV?

    Thanks - that worked, and it is syncing with no problem now.
    As a side note, my imac only has a "g" airport card, not an "n" but video streaming seems to be working fine, even with most 720p Quicktime trailers that I downloaded and transferred to my iTunes library (most played with no problem, but some required conversion, possibly a bit rate issue?)

  • Suggestions on how to connect iMac *directly* to Maxtor Shared Storage?

    i know that using Time Machine to back up to my Maxtor Shared Storage over my network isn't an option right now... So in the meantime, I would like to just connect my Maxtor drive directly to my iMac -- but I can't figure out how.
    There is no way to connect it via USB, and there is no firewire port. The Apple guy at Best Buy said to use the ethernet cable to connect the external hard drive to my iMac, but I can't get my iMac to recognize the drive that way.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Right now my Maxtor drive is connected via a router no problem... But In order to use Time Machine, the drive needs to be directly (via cable,etc) connected to my iMac...
    There is no firewire port on my Maxtor drive.
    I did go to Best Buy (and Office Max, and Office Depot) to buy a USB cable... The cable I need doesn't exist... For example they are like this:
    http://www.coolgear.com/images/as340823as.jpg
    But BOTH my iMac and Maxtor drive have ports that take the USB cable-end shown on the left in the image above. There is no cable that is the same on both ends...
    So, how do I get my computer to recognize/mount my Maxtor drive when I connect it directly to the iMac via ethernet cable (that is what the Apple guy at Best Buy told me to do)? I can't find anything at all in the Maxtor documentation about this...
    Thanks for reading...

  • How to connect iMac G3 to internet via PC with DSL?

    Hi all;
    My cousin currently has a Dell desktop that accesses the internet via DSL (wired, not wireless). They also recently acquired an iMac G3 and a d-link wireless adapter and want to know how they can get internet access to the iMac? I'm assuming all they need to do is purchase a wireless router to connect to the PC and then the iMac can access the router via the d-link adapter? Are there any suggestions as to what type of router is best to use? The room the iMac is in isn't close to the PC, so is there one better for distance?
    Any suggestions would be helpful. Oh, and they're not looking to spend a lot of money. So whatever works for reliable access and distance from the router is what they're looking for.
    Thanks!
    Kristen

    Hey Kristen,
    Well the cheapest way would be to use a wired router and run Cat 5.
    As far as recommendations go I would just Google the Models that you're interested in. I set a client up with a wireless router and bought a D-Link at Office Max since I have an old D-Link that has worked perfectly for 3 years. The one I got was nothing but problems so I switched to a Linksys that was well reviewed and now it's worked perfectly for 3 weeks. Turns out that D-Link had both great and awful reviews. I had been prejudiced against Linksys since I have 4 SR41 wired routers that have failed.
    So you can't go by make only model.
