I can't find my harddisk on my mac...

Hi everybody,
I did a back up from my Ibook G4 with time machine 'cause a got a new" powerbook G4 (yes I now its soooo old )
Now I want to set this on the powerbook but, each time I put the USB in the powerbook, the harddisk says "tiiitiiitiiitiii" and do nothing.
BUUUT the harddisk (philips) works on other computers and the USB inputs works really good with other stuff. What's the problem then? Any idea?

PowerBooks don't supply enough power from just one usb port to fire up most external drives. If the drive came with a suitable Y connector cable use that to connect to both ports simultaneously. This may be an issue since one arm of the cable needs to be long enough to stretch all the way across the computer - they can be obtained. Otherwise if the drive has a dc in connector power it that way.

    If your computer is tied to a network, then there is a way to check. Go to System Preferences, and click Accounts. unlock Admin
    then you can click Login Options.
    under that, Network Account Server. This should show you what server your computer is tied to. If you aren't in the tech department, you could try asking them.

  • Where can I find free Christmas stationery for Mac Mail version 6.2?

    Where can I find free Christmas stationery for Mac Mail version 6.2 on my MacBook Pro running OS 10.8.2??? Everything I've tried to download is from 2008-2009 and isn't compatible.
    ~Patty

    Dear sig,
    Thank you for responding. When I Googled, I received a list of suggested web sites, but they were all posted in 2008-2009 and, when I downloaded the application, they were not compatible with OS 10.8.2 and/or Mail 6.2. I did find an app in the App Store called "Stationery for Mail" for $6.99 (less expensive than equinux or ipresentee) that had one Christmas email template and several others for other occasions/seasons. I purchased that one so that I'd have at least one email template to use for now, but I'd love to find more templates for future use that are FREE.
    I can't believe Apple hasn't created more email stationery templates for download (freeware) on its web site. I can find screensavers and wallpapers, but nothing for Mail.
    If you or anyone else finds or knows of a website with FREE email stationery templates for Mail 6.2, please let me know.
    Thank you!
    ~Patty

  • Where can I find a mapping of the Mac Powerbook version number (e.g., 3.1) to the dates (e.g., "late 2007") that Apple uses for indicating compatibilty with OS upgrades?

    There were no PowerBooks made in 2007. By then Apple had switched over to Intel and they were making MacBook instead.

  • Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?

    Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?

    No. 10.6.3 was the last retail release of Snow Leopard. Download the 10.6.8 Combo updater and put it on a flash drive to make it easier to install the largest part of the update.
    Also, don't push the same disk image of SL to your Macs unless they are exactly the same model as it was originally installed on. The wrong hardware drivers will otherwise be in use.

  • IPhone iMovie trailer shared to iTunes can't find in iTunes on my Mac

    Basically, the subject line says it all. I created a trailer on my iPhone in the iOS iMovie app. I selected share to iTunes. I can't find the trailer in my mac's iTunes. Trying it again has gotten me the message 'already shared to iTunes.'

    I don't find a 'Video' section in the iTunes iOS app. Only 'Music, Movies, TV Shows, Audiobooks, Tones, Genius, Purchased, and Downloads'. My iPhone trailer I created does not seem to be in the 'Movies' section (those look like movies available to rent).
    On the iMac, I have successfully shared 2 iMovies (from the full iMovie app on the iMac) into iTunes and those show up.
    I just can't find where, if anywhere, my iPhone's iMovie app would be sending those movies or trailers that I've created and that the iOS app says have already been sent to iTunes.

    I have transferred a load of files from my PC to my iMac using the migration assistant.  The message on both machines say that the process was successful but I can not find the files on the mac.  Any ideas?

    When you use Migration Assitant it creates another user account and puts your files there. Please log out of your normal account and log into the new account. Had you use Setup Assistant when it asked if you were migrating that would not have occured. You have a couple of options, combine the two accounts (not recommended) or start over, use Setup Assistant and have everything in one user account. Here is a link to Pondin's guide for Lion Setup Assistant tips however if you want to combine the two accounts he has addressed that in

    We have purchased a movie via Apple TV (2) and its taking too long to load, so we want to watch movie on Itunes on the computer but can't find rented movies on the MAC iTunes

    Movies rented on Apple TV aren't transferable to another device. If its taking awhile to load then its an issue with your network.
