HT1752 F*** THAT MY G4 IS OBSOLETE, CAN'T APPLE MOVE MY OLD OPERATING SYETEM TO NEW IMAC??

MY OLD, STILL WORKING MODEL G4 POWER MAC, HAS APPS & DOC'S THAT ARE NOT SUPPORTED
ON MY NEW IMAC. CAN'T APPLE PARTITION MY HARD DRIVE (ON IMAC) AND INSTALL THE OLD OPERATIONG SYSTEM.
SO THAT I CAN AT LEAST READ MY OLD DOC'S.

Try being a bit more specific and maybe you'll get a useful response.
For example what Applications were you using on your on your G4? 
You could move the G4 documents over to the new iMac and potentially use them with updated applications and/or replacement applications.
You got 6 years out of your G4 and it will still function within the parameters that it was purchased for... NOT BAD!
BTW:  You will be unhappy with your new iMac WELL BEFORE 2018....

  • Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro?  From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended.  But how/where?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
    There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

    You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
    You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
    There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

  • Can anyone help me with process of moving only my pics and music (purchased and imported cds) from a old G5 to a new iMac. Thanks Dan

    Can anyone help me with process of moving only my pics and music (purchased and imported cds) from a old G5 to a new iMac. Thanks Dan

    The easiest way is to connect the G5 and your new iMac together via Firewire.  Then you can use what is called "Target Disk Mode" which basically makes the G5 look like an external hard drive to your iMac.  The potential gotcha is if your new iMac does not have a Firewire port.  In that case, you need to get the Apple Thunderbolt-Firewire adapter in order to connect the two machines (as far as I know, all G5's had one or more Firewire ports).  I have done this many times, it's easy and works perfectly.
    Alternatively, you could connect both Macs to the same network and log into the G5 from your iMac.  This involves going into System Preferences > Sharing on the G5 and turning on File Sharing and then logging in from your iMac to the G5 as if it were a server.   (Logging in through the Finder or via Go > Connect to Server).  This also works fine but it's a little more involved than using Target Disk Mode.  I do this all the time and it too works fine.
    Either way, once the two Macs are connected, you will use the Finder on your iMac to copy files/folders from your G5 the same as you would from any external hard drive.  Regarding iTunes, you could just copy your entire iTunes library over to your iMac being careful to put it in the same relative folder location:   /users/yourusername/Music/iTunes   This method will preserve your playlists and album art.  Alternatively you could go into iTunes and do Add to Library but I'm not completely sure doing it that way will bring over your album art and it certainly won't bring over your playlists.
    I see no reason to use a separate external hard drive.  It will just double the time it takes to transfer your files because you would first have to copy everything to the hard drive, then in a second step copy everything from the hard drive to your iMac.
    Note:  In all cases there is the possibility that you may need to change file & folder permissions on the things you copy over so you can access (read & write) to these folders & files once copied to your new iMac.  This is not a difficult process.

  • How can i sync numbers from my iPad to my new iMac?

    how can i sync numbers from my ipad to my new imac?

    If you mean spreadsheets from within the Numbers app on your iPad to your computer's iTunes then there are instructions here. If you mean that you want to copy the Numbers app from the iPad to your computer then you can copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases; but if you want to use Numbers on your Mac then you will need to buy the Mac OS X version.

  • Can i use a 2007 quicken software on my new iMac?

    Can I install a Quicken 2007 program on my new iMac even tho it is not supporting Power PC?

    No, you will not be able to use Quicken 2007 on OS X Lion 10.7.x. However if you still have your old Mac and can export the data you can import the data into a new app such as iBank. Intuit came out with a letter to it's users about a month ago that they plan on porting Quicken 2007 so that it will be able to run on a Lion however they were not specific about when that would happen. Here is a recent article that talks about that letter:
    http://techcrunch.com/2011/12/22/in-a-reversal-intuit-will-make-quicken-2007-for -mac-work-with-lion/
    There are many many apps available that will take the place of Quicken for Mac. Personally I made the switch to iBank many months ago after using Quicken for over 20 years on both PC's and Macs. It was very clear Intuit does not take the Mac market seriously. I found importing my data from Quicken 2007 to be very easy and was able to fulfill all my needs with iBank. You will get similar success stories from users that chose other applications too. I like iBank because it provided a 30 day fully functional trial period, it has great support including online tutorials which you can see at:

    Does your imac come with a Windows Mac interface?
    If not, you cannot. There is no Premiere Elements 8 Mac version. And, you cannot install Premiere Elements 8 Windows on
    a Mac computer. As I recall, Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 was the first Premiere Elements version to be offered in Windows and Mac versions.
    Please explain with more details.
    Thanks.
