IMac to Powerbook Network

Hi there,
i have a problem with the network connection between my new imac intel core duo 17" and my powerbook g4 12". I wanted to connect these two to each.They are both connected to my access point and can connect to internet. My iMac has the ip-address: 192.168.1.2 My Powerbook has 192.168.1.6 Both connecting with airport to access point.Actually i can access from my powerbook to my imac but not from my imac to my powerbook. But both can access to a windows system. Do i have to change any settings? I also activated apple talk on both.
Thanks

The hard drive formatting of the two machines are different. One is designed to be used only with Intel Macs, one is designed to only be used with PowerPC Macs. It already is known that Intel Macs can't boot off a clone made by a PowerPC Mac, though can use the migration assistant from a PowerPC Mac. And Intel Macs can't boot PowerPC Macs. Thus it is not surprising that the network on one side (the older side), can't see the newer side. I'd manage all the files from the Intel side.

  • Network disappears completely from Airport on iMAC, G4 Powerbook +iPhone 4

    Can anybody please help..!
    My network has disappeared completely from Airport on iMAC, G4 Powerbook + iPhone 4 and even after restarting the router several times the network does not reappear. It's been 2 days now and i need it to work from home urgently.
    thanks in advance !

    Hi Shane
    if it's missing from three devices, I imagine that you may need to connect to it via ethernet cable & see if the wireless id is set to be hidden, as well as checking the setup pages to see if wireless is actually operating correctly.
    Something like iStumbler or WiFi Scanner should help you determine that too.

  • How do I add a printer connected to another iMac on the network to my printer list?

    How do I add an Epson printer connected to an iMac on the network to the printer list on my MacBook Pro? I cannot get it to show up in the list for printers to add.

    That only works if the printer is itself a network printer. You can't do it if it is directly connected to another computer on the network unless it is configured to be a Shared Printer on the other computer.

  • I hooked up new iMac to wireless network and now iPad and iPhone do not work using wireless.  I am using a Netgear N300 router.  Also my Netgear ethernet/homeplug for wireless TV internet no longer works.  Any ideas?

  • After setting up my brand new Airport Express 802.11n and accidentally using it to connect my iMac to the network...my iMac no longer connects through Ethernet?  Any ideas...I have tried everything without success!!

    I have been using Apple technology for about 10 years starting with 1st generation iPods and our house now includes a 5 year old iMac, all versions of iPods and touches, Apple TVs (both generations) and most recently an iPad 2.  I have always told family and friends that Apple technology just works.  Unfortunately that stopped today.  I bought a new Airport Express 802.11n to use for AirTunes around my new pool.  I set it up from my iMac and accidentally used it to connect my iMac to the network for a short time.  Now I can no longer connect the iMac to the network using a hard wired Ethernet cable.  I have tried resetting everything possible, from hubs to routers to the Mac itself and it just will not connect to the network through Ethernet any longer.  I am now a very frustrated Apple user especially when the support site says I can't use the fast path support because my product was manufactured 5 years ago...I just bought it at BestBuy yesterday.  All other computers and itechnology in the house are connecting via wifi and Ethernet without any issue except from my new iMac boat anchor.  Anybody who can help me???  Thanks

    John, thanks for the email so quickly.
    I too hope I haven't tried "everything" either but I am reasonably technical.  I had done what you suggested to do before but I did both again.
    Ethernet is yellow in the left side bar.  In the right pane it's status says Connected but then below it says "Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet."
    I have tried the assist me menu and Network Status has Ethernet Green, Network settings Yellow, ISP Green, and Internet and Server Red and Failed for both.  I have turned things off and on, checked cables, deleted all locations and tried restting them up but to no avail.  I even disconnected everything and connected the mac directly into the cable modem itself and the thing still will not connect.
    Thoughts???

  • IMac to PC networking - 1903 Date Problem

    I am running a G4 iMac that is networked to a PC with Windows XP. All file sharing works well, but when I use the iMac to read files from my PC, all the networked files show up as created in 1903!! I have tried copying the files to the Mac, opening them and re-saving them but the date does not change. What am I doing wrong? How can I get these dates to be accurate?

    Use the 'touch' command to change file access and modification times.
    Run terminal to bring up a command line.
    Typing in 'touch' at the command line will bring up a list of command parameters. For more detailed documentation, then type 'man touch' at the command line.

  • Will server search and import existing profiles from Imacs on the network

    We are in the process of installing new imacs into an existing windows 2003 SB network.  Today the SMB server is the DNS server however I have bought a mac server in order to take the SMB out of the loop and change it over to simply being a file server for reference via VM's using Windows 7 of the old Windows PC's that the Imacs are replacing.
    We currently have 4 imacs in the network already and have their own profiles as per the standard start up.  The question is will the mac server when configured as the replacement DNS server find and import the existing Imac profiles or will they need to be recreated via the server

    The executable will be run on the client computer, if you acces them by a shared drive or something.
    But download time can be noticable, but it shouldn't cost performance, be aware that all users will share the same app.ini file.

  • IMac looks for networks while connected

    I have a brand new iMac 21.  It's connected wirelessly to my Airport Extreme on a closed secure network.  It connects fine, but when I click on the WiFi icon, the first line "WiFi: Looking for networks" is grayed out, but with a spinning gray circle on the far right.  I can access the Internet and my network has a check mark by it, so why is the iMac looking for networks?  Also, when the iMac wakes up from sleep mode, I get a window saying that it's looking for a network, even though I can see that it's already connected to my network.  I checked the network preferences on my Macbook, and they're exactly the same as on the iMac, but the Macbook seems to know that it's connected.  I checked the "ask to join new networks" box if that makes any difference.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    If it is constantly searching for networks every five seconds or so, then it is the bluetooth - wifi problem discussed on other threads. I find that system preferences > network and clicking at the bottom on the 'Show wi-fi status in menu bar' button to switch it off, and then back onto the menu bar, solves the problem. Sometimes on waking I lose wi-fi completely and have to reload, but that's infrequent.
    Hopefully Apple will come up with a solution soon.

  • IMac or Powerbook for GB8?

    Is there a difference in recording quality between an iMac or Powerbook using GB8?
    I will be using AKG mics and an M Audio Fast Track Pro along with a Line 6 POD X3.
    I assume not but wanted to ask the group and see.
    Thanks

    How many audio tracks can the iMac handle?
    I've worked with over 50 on my iMac (worked with a max of 10-12 on my wee iBook). YMMV
    do I have to bounce the MIDI track to an audio track
    no, just export the song, the mixdown is audio (GB offer no kind of output other than audio)

  • I am setting up a lab of imacs in a school.  I have successfully bound the imacs to our network and can log in using the windows account.  However, I cannot access my files.  Is there another step?

    I am setting up a lab of imacs in a school.  Our network is windows based using active directoy.  I have successfully bound the imacs to our network and can log in using the windows account.  However, I cannot access my files.  Is there another step?

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

  • IMac "unavailable" on network

    I have both an iBook and iMac G5, both running OS X 10.4.x. On the G4 is a printer connected which is shared. Also all option at "energy" are set.
    The iBook can only print when the iMac is "awake". If the iMac goes to sleep then the iBook cannot find any printers. In that (iMac being asleep) situation the iBook 's finder also cannot find the iMac in the network.
    Is there anything I can look into to solve this behaviour?

    Use the Energy Saver preference pane (in System Preferences) on the iMac to not allow the processor to sleep.
    When the processor sleeps all the services stop.

  • Publishing on iweb using iMac and Powerbook

    How can I get the same published pages in iweb on my iMac, after I have worked and published on the powerbook - using mobile me- without loosing my previous work on powerbook?
    Thank you.

    Copy your domain file for your site from your iMac to PowerBook or vice versa. Do you have the same version of iLife on both?
    Your domain file is found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.

  • I am planning on recycling an old iMac and Powerbook.  However, the display on the iMac is so messed up I can't read anything and the Powerbook is unusable (no power) so what do I do about erasing the hardrives for security?

    I've been reading up on how to clean your hard drive so personal information can't be accessed, but if you can't get to your hard drive to clean it up, what are you supposed to do?  My town is offering an electronics recycling and I was hoping to drop off my old iMac and Powerbook.   I can turn the iMac on, but the display is really bad and almost unreadable.  The Powerbook is completely dead.   Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Since both computers have operational problems, I'd suggest removing the hard drives from them.  That way, you'll have possession of the drives and their data.  Considering their age, I doubt that the recycling program will attempt to repair these computers for donation to needy parties, but if you thought so, you could buy a $15 adapter that would let you connect the bare drive to a USB port on your functioning computer.  Once connected, you could erase the drives and reinstall them.  You didn't indicate which iMac you have, but if it's a G3 model, this Macworld article has illustrated directions for hardware upgrades, which would show you how to remove the hard drive.  If your iMac is a G3 (400 MHz or faster) with the additional VGA port concealed under the plastic door on the rear of its underside, you could connect a VGA display and attempt setting up video mirroring.  Once done, you could wipe the drive, while using the connected display to navigate through the procedure.  This would eliminate the need to open the bottom of the housing, to access the hard drive for removal.  As for the PowerBook, you could post a topic in its specific Forum (depending on the model) and request directions for hard drive removal.  Post back as to your preferred option, if you have any questions regarding it.

  • Insufficient privledges when sharing between iMac and Powerbook

    I just upgraded both my powerbook and iMac to Leopard and want to turn on file sharing between the two. The way it used to work with Tiger, I would just click on the drive on my network and it would give me read and write privledges. Now it is saying that I have insufficient privledges. I can get the powerbook to mount the iMac and vice versa but can't seem to do much else.
    I am trying to move my iPhoto library from my Powerbook to my iMac.
    Thanks

    If you are trying to write directly into the iPhoto Library, note that it is not a regular folder but a package. The permissions on the iPhoto Library package only allow writing by the owner, so another approach is needed, such as those mentioned in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198

  • Transfering iTunes from iMac to Powerbook

    How do I transfer my music from my iMac G4 into my new Powerbook G4?
    Can I do this by plugging in firewire cable, "t" at startup and drag my itunes library folder into itunes on the new computer?
    I have heard horror stories of people loosing music and wanted to check on the best way to transfer.

    Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your new computer is to network it and the original one and copy over your iTunes folder. This works fine if you have been using iTunes to completely manage your music and all your songs are in iTunes Music not in different folders: Connecting two Mac computers using Ethernet
    Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. This has to be the exact same place, on a Mac this would be in Username/Music/. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will be the same as on the original one Songs, Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings etc. When I moved iTunes recently for my daughter I was also using the same version of iTunes, not sure how important that is but it's probably worth keeping them the same.
    The guide for using the iPod as a hard drive is a good starting point. Apart from the sections on initially setting up the iPod, the instructions are the same for copying the iTunes folder to any another drive: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
