IBook to iMac Slideshow

I have a friend coming over with her iBook & was wondering if there was a quick way to hook her iBook up to my iMac to view a slideshow she has. Would you just do an ethernet to ethernet connection?

Hi, Joe.
It would be easier to connect her iBook to your iMac in FireWire Target Disk Mode, assuming you have a spare 6-pin-to-6-pin FireWire cable and both computers have FireWire ports.
Her iBook would be the Target computer, your iMac the Host. Her iBook's hard drive would appear on your Mac as a FireWire drive. On your iMac, navigate in Finder to the slideshow on her drive and launch it.
Good luck!

Transfer iPhoto, iTunes from iBook to iMac

Hello-
Just wondering how to transfer my pictures and music from iBook to iMac?
I'm not sure if my firewire port is functioning on the iBook so that way
may not work. Thanks

cjohnson24, Welcome to the discussion area!
The fastest way is to boot your iBook in Firewire target disk mode. The iBook will then appear as an external FireWire drive on your iMac.
FYI, from your system information you have an Intel-based iMac. This discussion area is for the older iMac G4 . You should post future questions in the Intel-based iMac discussion area.

Simple way of transferring files beween iBook and iMac?

So far, I have burned CDs to transfer files back and forth between the two machines. I also am considering using a portable back up drive.
I'd prefer a simple transfer of files between the machines via fire wire cable!
However, I have been discouraged so far to explore the "networking" solutions further, because of the (for me) complicated protocol and addressing issues in the networking preference panel....
A simple solution would make me happy!
Thanks,
PP

If you boot the iBook into FireWire target disk mode it will act as an external FireWire drive.
Then all you need to do is connect the iBook and iMac with a 6 pin to 6 pin FireWire cable. The iBook will appear on the iMac's desktop as a hard drive. You can then easily drag and drop files between the 2 machines.

HT5772 how can i delete books from ibooks on iMac

how can i delete books from ibooks on imac?

That doesn't work. It only allows you to delete your local copy but keeps the book in your library. The instructions on Apple's site are also incorrect. They suggest going to iTunes and selecting Books from the Library menu, but there is no Books option under that menu in the current version.
Anyone at Apple listening?

Synchronize files in iBook and iMac

Is there a program or a process that would allow me to synchronize my word files between my iBook and iMac. Both systems run OS 10.3.7. I use the iBook in the field and the iMac in the office and need to have all my files synchronized in both computers.
ibook Mac OS X (10.3.7)

BenMiami:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If your Word files on one Mac are in the same folder or overall container folder and the same is for the other Mac, you can use a synchronization application like Synk to sync those two container folders. You can have it use the latest version of duplicate files to be the one to be copied to the other Mac in case you use the same file on both Macs. There are a number of options to consider but you can do the job. All you'd need is to connect the two Mac with a ethernet cable or FW cable (Target Mode) and set the two folders to be synced. There are other applications that can to the job but I liked Synk's interface and it was pretty easy and complete. Personal preference.

How do I transfer a movie from my Ibook to imac in it's original format?

I have bluetooth or firewire but it changes the movie into Quicktime
IMacG5 & IBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hello Ellen,
What format are you talking about? I don't understand
how you are doing it to make the movie change format.
If it is an iMovie project folder you can just drag
it over using a firewire connection and 'Target Disc
Mode' providing it is not a later version of iMovie
on the iBook to the iMac. You can also import it
directly into iMovie from the iBook's HD using
'Target Disc Mode'.
Target Disc Mode - Turn off your iBook. Connect the
two computers via Firewire. Start the iBook holding
down the 'T' key. The Firewire logo will appear on
the screen and the iBook HD will appear on the screen
of the iMac. Just open the iBook HD icon, find your
files and drag them across. That's all there is to it.
Thank you Sill rabbit:
I had a memory lapse. It has been so long since I did it.

Migration from iBook to iMac -- printer, etc.

In setting up my new iMac (17", 1GB RAM, Intel Core), I didn't initially use the Migration Assistant. I set up the accounts for me and my family, which was pretty easy, and decided to see if I could import the various other things over through the Airport Extreme connection. After a day or so and realizing that this would be a pain, I went and got a Firewire cable.
So I ran the Migration Assistant. I didn't tell it to migrate the accounts because those were already set up. I was more interested in network settings, printer, etc. So my questions are:
1. The printer (Epson Stylus Color 740) appears in my printer list on the iMac, but when I go to print, the icon appears in the Dock, but nothing happens. I tried to delete the printer and add it again, but that still didn't work. I don't understand the things that appear in the dropdown lists on Printer Setup and which ones to pick. I see my printer in the dropdown list, but I don't think the settings I entered before that point are correct. Any suggestions?
2. The Airport icon in the Menu bar on the iMac seems fainter than on the iBook. Does this make sense?
3. No documents or Mail items (Inbox contents, Address Book) were migrated. I told the Migration Assistant (I think) to move folders and libraries. Did I leave something out? (Also, I had set up everyone's Mail accounts before running Migration Asst.).
4. Can I run the Migration Assistant again, like a do-over?
5. On the iBook, to get the Firewire sign off the screen and get that computer working again, I ended up shutting down with the power button and then powering up again. Is there a different thing to do?
Well, I hope that's not too many questions and that I'm in in the right forum. Thanks in advance for your patience and help.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7) iBook, Mac OSX (10.4)

OK, now I'm really confused. I re-ran the Migration Assistant and when it came to transferring the accounts, I was asked to change the names. Besides the choice of not transferring the account, there was a grayed-out choice the name of which escapes me now (also something with the names). Anyway, now I have multiple accounts with both the old and new names on the new iMac and the old names bring up the old Dock (smaller, fewer applications) and the things like Address Book only show up under the re-named old name account. Should I delete the accounts and start over?
Also, the printer shows up again but still doesn't print. As I said in my original message, I think I have to delete it and add it again but I don't understand the drop-down lists. They're not the same as when I had to it on the iBook once or twice.

IBook vs. iMac, and Airport Questions

Hi everybody,
After the announcement of the new iMac, I am seriously considering buying an iMac. However, I have a few questions, is the G5 alot more powerful than the G4? because the .48 Ghz difference, as a PC user, doesn't mean that much to me. I am a teenager, I do enjoy my games, but also want something that I can be productive on. I make web sites and do graphic editing with photoshop. However, I do not have the funds to spring for a powerbook or powermac, so I have the choice of the iBook or the iMac. I need to know what would be more useful for me, I do not need too much portability, but does the portability outweigh the extra .48 ghz, or is that .48 Ghz actually a significant difference? And my last question is: Is the wireless card in both computers compatible with any wireless router, or only an apple one?
P.S. based on my computer listed below, you can see I am due for an upgrade
Thanks,
Myrdog

I am the proud owner of an iMac G5 and an iBook G4 and I can tell you that the iBook G4 is a very sturdy and reliable computer. In terms of power, the iBook G4 is a bit limited on RAM specs if you are working with Adobe Creative Suite, for example, and needed to open several apps at once. Or if you are editing video; in that case the iBook works fine but there can be some problems because the graphics card in the iBook is much less powerful than the iMac's graphics card. One more thing about the new iMac G5: it uses DDR2 533 SDRAM, which is faster per megabyte/gigabyte. You will pay a lot for maxing out RAM though.
Either choice would be a good one; it really depends on your budget and what you want to do with it. I use my iBook to do web design with Macromedia Studio 8, and the programs run quite well. For most purposes, the iBook shines.

Can I watch my ibooks on iMac?

I am thinking of buying an iPad. When I download an iBook from iTune store, can I also download it to my iMac and read it on my iMac?

No.

IBook to iMac lost text

Hello. Can anyone help. My G4 iBook lets me edit a text fine but my iMac G5 won't let me edit the same text. In photoshop, it just says it hasn't got the font and changes the style. I have located the font, it is their, but I can't edit it. Really annoying. Thanks.

Hi Vman,
Photoshop is one of the few applications that can't respond to the opening and closing of fonts while it's running. If you activated the font in question after Photoshop was already running, that's why it acts as if the font isn't available. The solution is to quit Photoshop and restart it.

Move iWeb site from iBook to iMac

I've created an iWeb site on my iBook and would like to transfer it to iWeb on my iMac...How do iDo this?

TreySaskia,
Your site on your iBook lives in a file called 'Domain', found in your Home folder Library:
Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain
Duplicate this Domain file (Command+D) and transfer it to your iMac; placing it on a usb flash drive is a popular method as you can just double-click on the file after mounting the drive and iWeb, in either machine, will open it and you can access, edit, and publish changes to your site. You could use an external hard drive also. Remember to rename the file 'Domain' from 'Domain copy' after duplicating it.
Hope this helps out.

Using 10.4 from iBook on iMac?

I have a G4 iBook that came w/OS 10.4. The disks specifically say iBook on them. I also have a G3 iMac that came w/OS 10.3.9 and I am finding many of the things I want to do now require 10.4. Can I use the iBook disks to "upgrade" my iMac to 10.4?
Thanks!
Mary

Can I use the iBook disks to "upgrade" my iMac to 10.4?
No; they're only compatible with and licensed for the computer they came with. You need a retail package.

Import from older ibook to imac

I had a ibook and saved my address book to a usb drive and when I got my new iMac I am unable to import the addresses. I could not use firewire because the computers did not overlap. They are for work and I switched jobs. Is there anyway to get my old address book to import into the one on my imac?
I got the ibook in Dec 2006 and I just got the imac in Aug 2008.

sounds like you transfered the Adress Book application itself. that's an entirely wrong thing to save. the application itself contains no user data and would be useless to save. user data is stored in user-homedirectory/library/application support/address book. you should have saved that.

Suggestion on transfering data from iBook to iMac the old fashioned way

I was unable to transfer files, data, apps directly from my iBook to my new iMac. I'm wondering if someone can tell me how I can do this by using an external hard drive?
For traditional files I'm OK but I'm curious about moving things like my stored Entourage mail and my iTunes song lists, purchase history,etc.
Anyone have insight on this? Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks so much for your help. Do you mind explaining this a little more (I'm dense). To help further clarify I have the following items that I want to transfer...
* iTunes history (purchased, playlists, etc.)
* Safari and Explorer bookmarks
* Entourage -- everything, stored mail, address book, calendar,etc.
I tried moving these individual files (primariy MS Office) but it wouldn't allow me to. I'm thinking one of the issues is MSFT preventing me fro transfering Office from one machine to another so I will do a separate install of that suite directly onto the iMac - however I would be very bummed if I had to loose all my history on my previous Mac since the Setup Assistant isn't working.
Appreciate your further insight on this.
