Installing system on new HD through target mode

I replaced the HD on my G3 iMac(500MHz) and installed OS 9.2 through target disk mode using my G5 iMac. The new HD (80g) and the system show up in
the profiler but the G3 can't find the system folder on start-up. I get the blinking folder with ?. I had to use target disk mode because the CD drive in the G3 isn't working. I bought an external firewire CD/DVD but it needs OS 10.3. I plan to upgrade to Tiger but used my original OS9 install disks to get it running. After looking for info on the forums I'm confused about which computer is actually the target and which is the host. I put the G5 in target mode but it seems that it's possible to do it either way. Starting up the G3 with the option key shows no drive available, just the arrows. Any suggestions?

Hi Neil,
I am having a very similar issue it sounds like..
May I explain it to you - I'm hopeful that you can steer me in the right direction.
Here's what I'm dealing with.
I have an old iMac G3 (Tangerine)
http://www.theapplecollection.com/postcards/iMac04n.html
It's been upgraded, has a fire-wire port now, it's a bit faster, more memory.. still nothing fancy - but it's been running OS 10.3.9 just fine.
Until my son accidentally deleted some files somewhere - that all but made it unusable.
Now - it does not have a DVD-Rom drive - so reinstalling won't work. It also doesn't read 'burned' disks -- so burning a copy of the 10.3.9 OS is out as well.
I have tried the following:
-connecting as a Target Disk - to install the software from my MacBook.
-trying to reinstall the classic OS 9 (original) OS, both restart holding down C and otherwise in hopes that it would restore some basic operating function to the thing..
Neither of them have worked.
I'm dubious about an external DVD-Rom drive as well - because it will most surely have a Driver of some sort that will have to be installed, and i know that won't work...
I'm at a loss.
I haven't heard a single piece of advice that has proven helpful yet ... I wonder if you might be able to help me?
Thanks in advance for anything you can do to help.

Putting new MacBook into Target Mode

Is it possible to put a fairly new MacBook with a Thunderbolt Port into Target Mode? I want to connect my MacPro to a MacBook in Target mode. I have connected the MacBook via it's Thunderbolt port to my MacPro Firewire 800 port using the correct cable. For some reason I cannot get the MacPro into Target Mode.. Any Assistance would be appreciated.

Is target mode slow?

So I took one of my Macbooks into Apple today and was told that the hard drive is failing, but in an attempt to recover documents I was told to purchase a firewire cable and transfer them through target mode. I have gotten the computer this far but upon the main options in the hard drive if I click on anything with a drop down arrow it seems to take forever is this normal?

If messing with the firewire becomes too much of a hassle, just get an external usb hard drive and run time machine. You may have to let it run overnight. Once it is done, you can replace the hard drive and use your OS X install disc to restore the time machine image to the new hard drive.

Not the same after using in Target Mode

At first the computer refused to link to the monitor. And failed to with other monitors as well. But, through Target Mode, I hook the Mac Mini to a MacBook, went to StartUp Disk and selected the Mac mini. Voila, I could use my Mac mini and my user account with the following exceptions: no printing services, could not search using Find or Spotlight, and no access to the network through Network>My Network (I could access the network from Connect to Server). After backing up and deciding I could be without my Mac mini for a few days, I took it the Apple Store and they replaced the logic board in ONE DAY!
The Mac mini boots up fine and I can use the monitor again. However, I still cannot search with Find or Spotlight, add a printer (error message: server-error-service-unavailable), or access the Network>My Network (users do not list) nor do a broadcast ping and see everyone on the network. Seems like it is stuck in Target Mode. I have looked through discussions and tried different solutions for each of these issues separately without success. I was unable to find a solution using a combination of this problems. And there may be more issues I am not encountering.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

New this morning when reading email. A virus slipped through the SPAM and visurs protection software. Upon reading an email, I closed the email to delete and selected to delete the attachment (which I did not open), and the monitor flashed and the email appreared on the screen. Ran ClamXav which noted there was an exploit in the database file of Entourage. Here's the log from ClamXav.
Scanning /Users/tedigreyowl/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities/Main Identity/Database

The database holds my email and I would like to eliminate the problem without throwing out the database file. Any ideas?

Troubleshooting an Imac G5 that won't mount on host computer in target mode.

I believe the internal harddrive on my Imac G5 has failed as the computer is stuck on a gray screen at startup and I am unable to repair the disk using disk utility on the OSX installation cd. I have the machine connected to another working mac with a firewire cable and am attempting to access the harddrive through target mode. The non-working mac starts in target mode but does not mount on the host computer. How can this be troubleshooted?

Make sure you start the G5 iMac in Target Disk Mode first, then connect it to the other Mac. If that doesn't work then, I'm pretty certain the hard disk is dead.
Sorry.
Good luck.

Having trouble installing ProIX on new Windows 8 machine after XP crash. Get almost ll of the way through and get an error box ... contact system support. Only way out is to abort and then it un-installs. Wondering if a licensing max issue since we did

Hey robr72339266,
With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.
Regards,
Anubha

Could you please someone help me with this?
Thanks

Sorry to bump this, but I'm having the exact same error tonight on my HTPC, any chance you found out what the problem was ?
To make matters worse, it's not happening every single time, but maybe every 4 out of 5 boots (same kernel, no changes in between.)
I thought this was a kernel issue related to this:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/10/359
I've tried adding atkbd and psmouse to my mkinitcpio.conf MODULES section and rebuilt, but no change.
I changed the NVidia driver from nvidia-304xx to nvidia-full-beta-all ( 334.21 ) from AUR but it had the same error at the same place.
Here's the part from `dmesg` where it borks:

IS THE SITUATION HOPELESS
I used Target mode to transfer files to a new i7 iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and powered down the old machine. When this was restarted the next day there was a grey screen with flashing Mac symbol alternating with a 'no entry' sign and occasionally a question mark.Keyboard and mouse were unusable so k inserted the original instal disc (No.1 for 10.4. with installer 1.0.4) which came with the machine in 2006 in an attempt to boot from this. The ensuing window said this was not possible and now it cannot be ejected.I have tried everything ! It offers Disk Utility and other options like Terminal but that doesn't work either.I 'repaired disk' and that was pronounced o.k. None of the various keystrokes at start up will work, and the computer will only offer the installer disc continually.The only option would seem to be is to erase the hard drive completely from the disc in the machine.I don't want to do this as there is still material which I need to recover. I think the drive has in some way been corrupted by using it in target mode, and I don't know if there are any other options to try.
Please tell me how to get this disc to eject !

Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

Is it possible to install OSX on another computer via Target disk mode?

Hey there...
a friend of mine has an older iBook. the drive on this iBook is broken (snapped off) so there's no way of using it.
is it possible to install OS Panther from another computer (use OS X panther install running on a MacBook, or G4) targeting the iBook via Target Disk mode?
thanks!

Hello Again SCHPiLKAS!
As roam posted, you cannot use the Intel MacBook install discs, on the PPC iBook.
Additional info in these links.
Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
What's A Computer Specific Mac OS X Release
Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
If the iBook meets the Panther System Requirements, and the Additional Panther System Requirements, and you have a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, you can use Firewire Target Disk Mode, to install the system.
The Panther discs should look, exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.

New iMac Not Recognizing iBook Running In Target Mode

Help!! I am helping a friend transfer all of her files and settings from her old iBook to a new iMac. I have repeatedly followed the instructions for using the Migration Assistant but the new iMac does not recognize the iBook after it is started in Target Mode. I have switched cables, zapped the pram, used the startup disk to repair disks and permissions. I can plug in an external firewire drive and it recognizes it immediately. I was called Apple Support, talked with first layer technician, was put on hold for next level of technician, put phone on speaker, person came back, said they couldn't hear me and hung up. Called back and low and behold it was quitting time. Very, Very frustrated.

Several posters have reported this. A solution that has worked for some is to place a powered firewire hub between the two machines (if you external FW disk is self powered and has two FW ports, that might work).

Macbook shuts off during start-up - can't get through safe-mode, single user mode (fsck -fy) and target-drive shows no problems when running disk utility repair

Hi everyone,
I'm simply all out of ideas on what to do - my best guess is the problem is not specifically hard-drive related since all the 'normal' fixes just won't work.
What could be the cause of my issue? The only way i've managed to keep the Macbook Pro on for longer than a minute is through target drive, where it seems to work just fine - i can access everything. To sum up everything:
1 - I tried resetting the PRAM
2 - I tried to go in to safe mode, it shut off before i could type the password
3 - I tried fsck -fy command from single user mode, sometimes i can get to actually typing it but mostly it shuts off before
4 - I tried to repair disk via target drive - success, no problems detected (and it didnt fix my issue)
5 - I reinstalled OS Mavericks.
The Macbook Pro previously had some problems with the power-button not working properly (a mac-cunning friend of mine had to open up the mac and start it by swiping to metal pins on a specific (battery/power?) part inside it. The problem kinda went away afterwards but it might be related to this?
This is way off my comfort zone of 'diagnosing' issues, so I'm crossing fingers for some good advice.
Thanks,
Aske

I think you're right.
If it's hardware related, is it possible to guess at what it might be? It would be nice to know how much I should expect to pay for a repair before actually getting it fixed.

Can I install to G4 iBook via Target mode from a MacBook Pro?

Can I install to G4 iBook via Target mode from a MacBook Pro? I have a non functioning iBook DVD Drive but want to do a clean install. Can I use the FW/Target mode to install? If not what can I do to install w/o the OD not working?

was this a std size disc or a funky shape / small cd of some type?
you will have to pull the machine apart, pull the slot drive, & take all the brackets / slot cover off the front of it (where you put the disc in). you can they try pushing down on the mechanical works (holding the drive as it sits in the ibook & face into the slot where you would put the disc in).
otherwise, you will have to take the drive itself apart, usually taking all the screws off around the outside & pulling the metal cover off will get you in to where you can force or pull the disc out.

If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.

HT4796 Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection? The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

I wouldn't recommend installing through a network connection.
For a Virtual Machine:
If you have the Win 7 media (DVD), use an app like PowerISO or MagicISO to make an ISO file of the install disc and use that.
For BootCamp:
Use the original install media and BootCamp Assistant, to install from your DVD Drive.
