IMac running Panther sharing an external HD with new MacBook

Hello,
I would like help setting up an external hard drive to automatically backup from both a G4 iMac running Panther and a new MacBook running 10.4.9.
What would be the easiest/most reliable method of doing this?
Thanks in advance

I use FW drives on most of my Networks and use Tri-Backup...

Can't say enough good about Tri-Backup.
With Sharepoints...
http://www.hornware.com/sharepoints/
Which can backup any CPU to any Drive in the Network, to/from any other CPU/Drive.
Tri-Backup isn't Universal, don't even know if it runs on IntelMacs, but regardless, you could still back up the Book from the G4. It can even be set to do the backup once the book joins the network.

  • External screen with new macbook pro 13"

    Hello I've a issue with my new macbook pro 13" (i5,8go,SSD). I have a external 27" monitor yiiama B2776HDS-B1 who was working fine with my macbook pro 13" 2010 running on snow leopard. But with my new one, I've got a black border on each side of the screen with the same resolution (1920x1080) used with my old macbook. My macbook is linked with a vga cable and a apple mini display adaptator.

    The newer MacBook Pros use ThunderBolt which came out after the MacBooks were discontinued. So you might post this question in the MacBook Pro forum for a better chance at an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_pro

  • Distortion in external speakers with new Macbook Pro

    Just bought one of the new Pros. Plugged in my JBL Duo speakers which work fine with my four-year-old Pro. If I turn up the volume beyond "four" on the Pro's volume control, I get bad distortion -- like "static" -- through the speakers. (The internal speakers seem OK). Could it be that the new Pros have a more powerful driver or something that is "overloading" my humble old JBLs? (Pardon my lack of proper audiophile terminology...).
    Thanks for any help.

    I have the same/a similar issue with my stereo. When I use the line out jack of my MBP to connect to my stereo (JVC UX-P3R w/ Sony SS-H3300 speakers) I hear some nasty distortion (tried several connectors & cables). But I can't perceive these distortions when I plug my headphones into the MBP. My stereo has no problems with sound coming from a iPhone, iPod or from a USB-Soundcard.
    Is this repairable, a series defect or some problem with my stereo/MBP connection?

  • Dual External Monitors with 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2011)

    I'm looking for suggestions for using dual external monitors with new MacBook Pro's.  The company I work for has started to puchase these for certain employees and we are looking for any good suggestions.
    It appears that the display/thunderbolt port should be able to support many devices but I have not seen any way to hook up multiple displays.  The idea is that these employees would be working with the macbook pro screen closed while in the office and use dual displays.  The only option that I can find is to use a usb device to output video to a second display.  I don't really like that because my experience with these devices is that they usally present a display lag and I know our graphic designers would never go for that.
    One employee suggested that he use the VGA adapter and then get a VGA splitter.  I'm not exacty certain that would work though. Wouldn't that just mirror the display on two screens instead of allowing an extended desktop?  Also it looks like expensive Apple displays have ports so that you can daisy chain thunderbolt devices out of those monitors but this company will not go for the cost of those displays.
    Am I missing anything?  Any suggestions would be helpful.
    Thanks!

    Look into the Matrox Dualhead2Go DP Edition. If it works with Thunderbolt Macs, it will support two identical 1920 x 1080 DVI monitors as one extended desktop. Verify with Matrox that it is Thunderbolt-compatible and will suit your purposes before ordering.

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

    I have the old machine backed up onto an external firewire disk but can't hook that up to the new imac as I'm waiting for delivery of a firewire 400/800 adaptor - therefore starting the old machine up as a slave is also subject to the same delay.
    I was hoping there might be some way to create a network between the 2 machines (and 2 different versions of the OS) to be able to transfer data across immediately but perhaps I'll just have to wait for my firewire adaptor to arrive.
    I don't understand why you're buying a Firewire adaptor, since AFAIK both of your computers have Firewire already built in.
    All you need is a firewire cable. Connect the Firewire socket on the old machine to the Firewire socket on your new iMac.
    Then start the old machine in Target Mode (i.e. by holding down the T key on its keyboard, while it's starting up, until you see the three-legged T icon hopping around the screen of the old machine.)
    At that point you will also see a new icon on the screen of your new iMac. This is the hard drive of your old machine.  By clicking on it you can navigate through it any way you like, just as you would normally.
    Just drag across whatever you want from the old computer to the new one. This will leave everything on the old computer untouched.
    - or use Migration Assistant but in my experience, Migration Assistant isn't very reliable and fails to migrate large amounts of stuff.

    How do I use an external display with a macbook pro?

    Just buy the proper adapter cord, such as MiniDisplay port to HDMI for example.  Plug it in and it will be automatically recognized.  Use System Preferences > Displays to set options.
    The display can Mirror your primary desktop or Extend the Desktop.

  • Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

    home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

    Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
    If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
    My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

  • Using an external display with the macbook air

    hi, i wanna know if i can use an external display with the macbook air as the tunderbolt is a bit pricey? i was thinking about buyin a LCD moniter wih a VGA port. many thanks

    Yes.  You can use VGA DVI or HDMI monitors by buying a  Minidisplay port to xxx adapter and the the appropriate cable (vga, dvi or hdmi).
    The MiniDisplayport adapter plugs into the Thunderbolt port.

    Here's a sample HDMI adapter.  All these available in the Apple online store.
