Migation from G4 to Intel Mini

I trying to use Migration Assistant to get from an older g4 tower to a early 2009 Intel Mini. I can't seem to get Migration Assistant to work properly. I have tried pulling everything over - but Migration Assistant hung up when it got to "a minute" to go. I tried 3-4 times, same thing.
I have tried using Migration Assistant to pull only one of two accounts from the old G4, I have tried NOT pulling over network setting - and when I could get it to work, it seems the Mail setting are not working. (No old mail, though I could see it in the home folder for that account.)
I am sure there is something basic I am missing here. I did this same thing two years ago moving from a Dual G4 (10.4) to a MacPro (10.5) and didn't have nearly this much trouble. I think there is something basic I am leaving out of the equation but, now I feel I have been looking at it too long to see what is going wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks - Rob

"Sig - thanks, I have seen this link before. So, are you (and the linked info) saying "don't use Migration Assistant?"
Yes.
"The part I don't get is I had such a good experience with it when I migrated my Dual Processor Mirror Door G4 to a MacPro two years ago."
You got lucky or problems didn't surface. The problem with Migration Assistant from PPC to intel is bringing over PPC system files that can gum up the works now or at a later date. If you follow the article it's really no big deal following it. I have used it going from an intel to an intel MBP as well. All I have left is installing my third party programs.

Can't Migrate from G4 to Intel Mac Mini

Hi
I have been unable to migrate files from my old G4 destop to my new Intel Mac mini. I wonder if anyone could help.
I first tried first using the migration assistant on the Mac mini and used the G4 as a fire wire drive. Failed twice, the process froze both times.
Erased Intel Mac mini and tried to do a restore from G4 using Disk Utilty. Failed twice. Didn't complete process.
I then tried the same twice using Supe Duper. Completed process (took hours) but in both cases couldn't boot Mac mini. Get the folder icon on boot indicating can't find system (I think).
I though I would then clean re-install system files from restore disks that came with MIni mac and start a fresh, but won't allow me to do this !! Spent two days and no further forward.
Any suggestions ?
Would erasing Mac mini and and trying Carbon Copy Cloner work ?
Can I add files manually from G4 to mac mini ?
Thanks in advance.

Exactly which model G4 tower do you have? The
PCI-graphics G4 towers do not support FireWire Target
Disk Mode.
If FWTDM works, have you replaced the hard drive that
came with the G4? Technically, Apple claims FWTDM
will only work with the OEM (original) hard drive
that came with the G4 tower. If you've replaced it or
added a second drive, it might not work correctly in
"target" mode.
If you do have a new hard drive, you should be able
to put it into a FireWire (or USB) external hard
drive case and use the Migration/Setup Assistant to
copy your files over.
If you're still having trouble, you can copy your
files over manually. Do you know which files you're
interested in copying? If your G4 tower works in
"target" mode, but the Migration/Setup Assistant is
having trouble, you can usually just drag all the
files and folders from your user's old home folder to
the new folders on the new computer. (Macintosh

-Doug
Yes I did change the hard drive to a bigger one so that may be the problem.
When I use the Traget mode I do see my "old" drive (both partitions) on my desktop so it suggests firewire is working.
Won't take everything across including applications, library etc.
Will let you know how I get on.
Thank you for your time. Geatly appreciated.

Use PC5300 RAM from Intel Mini in 1.42G PPC Mini?

I upgraded my Intel Mini and have 2 spare sticks of 512M (PC2-5300S-555-12-A0).. my sister has a 1.42GHz Mini (PPC) with only 256M of mem and wants to upgrade... I know the PC5300 would not run any faster than the "correct" memory (2700 or 3200 I think) for her Mini, but the price is definitely right (ie. free).. would it work in her machine?
Thanks,
Mike

The PC5300 memory from your Intel mini won't fit in a PPC unit. Aside from the difference in speed and type, the Intel mini uses two sticks of laptop RAM while the PPC mini has just one memory slot which takes the larger desktop memory.
In reality, given the price these days of memory for these systems, it's probably better to keep your RAM just in case you need it for diagnostic purposes, and get a single module, either 512Mb or 1Gb (which is the maximum for PPC minis) for your sister's unit. It's only $42 for 1Gb at Crucial for example (http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=BEB4B190A5CA7304)

Can I use RAM from "old" MIni in an Intel Mini?

Subject line pretty much says it all. I have two 1GB card from two "old" Minis that I'd like to install into each of the two slots of an Intel Mini that has 512 MB.
Are they compatible?
Thanks,
GeeKay

Thanks, GeeKay; sorry it wasn't better news. If you ever need a good reference for which RAM works with which Macs, this is a good place:

Intel Mini: Diabling the onboard bluetooth hardware/using a Dlink USB BT

I have a Intel Mini Core 2 Duo (1.8x Ghz)
I broke the bluetooth antennae connector inside the case while upgrading the memory. My BT keyboard and mouse continues to work, but only with the case open, and when they are very close to the computer.
I have located a replacment bluetooth board, but before I spent any mulah to fix the problem, I am wondering if it would be possible to just use a Dlink BT 120 USB device that I already own.
From what I can tell this particular device is one of a few that will specifically work with Macs. In reading it sounds like it should work without any needed drivers.
I am relatively new to Macs, so the process for getting things working is a little fuzzy. I've tried to google this, but haven't found any specific help.
When I plug in the Dlink, the connection to the onboard BT stops working with the existing keyboard and mouse. There is not any obvious signs that the Dlink is doing anything (no windows pop up to state it is connected etc, and there is not anything new listed in the BT sys pref pane). It seems to me that the two BT devices are fighting with each other, and I don't know how to make them play nice.
I did download the apple BT firmware updater, which I believe is needed to convert the Dlink over to a mac friendly firmware. I ran the updater with the Dlink plugged in, and it seemed to run fine, but I guess I wouldn't know which BT device it was trying to update...
Anyway, if there is a guru out there that can help me get the Dlink working... I am all ears.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Grigz95,
I am exactly at the same point in my investigations as you describe in your question. I would be most interested if you ended up finding a solution.

ISight/new intel mini mic problem

Hi,
I've got an iSight camera that I've been using on a just retired eMac. I just purchased a new intel mini and I've been trying to set up ichat. However, the microphone won't work at all on the new computer. The video seems to be ok but no sound.
So far I've:
Checked all settings in System Preferences > sound
Checked all settings in iChat > Preferences > microphone
Started and quit GarageBand
Under the sound control panel, the input level meter doesn't respond on my mini when the iSight mic input is selected. However, when plugging the camera back into my emac, the sound seems to be fine and responds accordingly. When I start a video chat, the connection doctor shows great video stats but 0% audio transmission to the person with whom I'm chatting. Likewise, the ichat preview input meter doesn't show that the mic is functioning correctly.
It seems that this must be related to an audio issue on my mac mini in some way but I'm out of ideas right now. I'm especially bothered that the system preferences line in seems to be buggered.
What next folks? Maybe the next thing is to call for service?
Thanks,
Cory

Hi,
I've poured over Ralph's advice and web pages prior to posting my first inquiry but still haven't had any success.
Is there a way to conclusively isolate the problem to the mini and the sound input? I tested the mic on the emac again and the isight works just as it should. Audio and video, both. I've checked that all of the settings between the emac and mini are the same, including all isight prefs and sound prefs. However, the mini seems to not pick up any input from the isight microphone.
Thanks,
Cory

Intel Mini - HDTV with DVI or HDMI Problems

Hello
With my Samsung LE32 and the Intel Mini I get overscan in HDTV resolutions like 1280x720, so I used DisplayConfigX to go from 1280x720 (overscan) to 1240x680
128 Front Porch 19
80 Sync 5
240 Back Porch 38
1688 Total 750
As you can see in the following images:

the image is pinned to the top left corner.
Playing with the Front and Back Porches seems to do nothing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

The website for DisplayConfigX has a wonderful FAQ section that explains very well it's operation. Unfortunately, most of everything in that FAQ applies to displays that are based on CRTs with magnetic deflection systems. For example, the whole section on "How to get rid of overscan."
For a modern, matrix addressed technology such as LCD, DLP, LCOS, Plasma and whatever, most of the FAQ does not apply. It would be nice if the author updated the FAQ with such a disclaimer to stop giving people false hope that overscan, image centering and such things can be controlled by DisplayConfigX on their modern displays when almost certainly it cannot.
Can you possibly control overscan from your Samsung? Either directly through any user settings or, if need be, through a secret service mode? I think that will be your only hope.

New Intel Mini makes a slight whirring noise

Hi
I have just replaced my old G4 Mac Mini with a entry level Intel Mini.
I noticed the new one maked a slight whirring noise constantly.
Its only minor but noticable in the background
The old Mini just used to have a slight fan noise which was more tolerable.
Do all new Mini's make this noise?
Tc

Is the fan suppost to run at all times when the
machine is on?
The fan on all minis runs constantly - in normal operating conditions it turns at relatively low speed and thus creates little noise. Initially because the mini ran so quietly, many owners concluded that the fan wasn't running until the system required it, but that isn't and wasn't the case. It was only after a MacOS update had altered the fan behaviour and made it spin up earlier as temperature rose or CPU increased that many users became aware that there even was a fan inside!
Since the fan is controlled by the system in response to temperature and load, it's apparent behaviour isn't always consistent between systems since it'll depend a lot on which version of MacOS, what ambient air temperatures and what services are running. Thus a mini that appears to run louder than usual may actually be nothing more than the user's perception, or higher ambient air temperature, or heavier load caused by additional services run at startup, or a version of MacOS that was more prone to ramp the fan up earlier in the temperature cycle - or of course a fault!
But indeed, where they are audible at all, the fans in the PPC models make a sound of different character completely from those in Intel models.

Intel Mini DVD+RW re-burns fail: 4/03/00 Hardware Error, Peripheral device

I can't re-write DVD+RW discs on my Intel Mini. The log says:
Backup: Burn sense: 4/03/00 Hardware Error, Peripheral device write fault
Backup: Burn error: 0x80020022 The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.
It happends with every Philips 4x DVD+RW I have after first burn. Also the log says it is trying to burn at 47x speed. Could this be why it is so noisy - it spins up like a rocket at 5 second intervals and then the disks can't be ejected.
Backup: Requested burn speed was 47x, actual burn speed is 4x.
Is this a sign of a bug or just an optimistic Backup?

I'm 99.99% sure this is an Intel Mini Superdrive problem now. I think it is incompatible with the Philips DVD+RW media. I will try to get new +RW media soon and see if I get joy with other formats.
I have taken the exact same media from the same pack and I can burn > erase FIVE times on the same disk, and not a single problem yet on my PPC G4 mini. I can only dream of doing this cycle once on my Intel Mini.
Intel mini (OS X 10.4.7) has:
Vendor Product Rev
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-846 FM3J
PPC (OS X Server 10.4.7) mini has:
Vendor Product Rev
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845 D8PB
What's more the PPC mini makes almost zero noise, only one burst of quier "roar" near the start of erase. Contrast this to the constantly 5s roaring cycle that makes you raise your voice on the intel mini.
I believe my Intel Mini is either faulty or there is a firmware issue with the drive.
Can somebody else try Philips 4x DVD+RW discs in an Intel Core Duo and report their drive info?
Thanks in advance

Intel mini RAM woes...

Ok, I'm pretty saavy when it comes to most things computer related but maybe I'm missing something on this one. I bought my Intel mini with the stock 512mb of RAM and decided I wanted to upgrade to 2gb. The price of RAM is fairly steep right now so I decided I would do this one stick at a time. I purchased my 1GB stick to get me going from Crucial (due to their reputation). I used their memory advisor to make sure I was ordering the correct memory for my machine and verified the memory matched what I ordered before it was installed. I installed the 1gb stick with one of the original 256mb sticks thinking I would maximize what I had available until I was able to purchase my second stick. After doing so I had nothing but problems. I kept getting spontaneous shutdowns and when booting up it would reboot itself sometimes 2 or 3 times before I could finally get to the desktop. So, I'm stumped. I've gone through and double checked that the memory was seated right, ran TechTool Pro 4, ran the Apple hardware test, reset my pram, reset my smc and even took out my 256mb stick to see if having an unmatched pair could be the issue. Everything looked fine and all tests passed. According to Crucial's website it is not "necessary" to have a pair of sticks in the mini to run properly. It even says I should be able to run different speeds and chip capacities. I was still getting the same result just the 1gb Crucial stick by itself. I have since put my 2 original 256mb sticks back in and all seems to be well. I know there is a possibility that I got a bad stick of RAM but I definitely have my doubts based on Crucial's reputation. I know how to handle computer components so I also highly doubt that I damaged the RAM. Is there something I'm missing? Do I need to have a matching pair of sticks (size and speed)? I'm racking my brain on this one, hopefully someone will be able to shed some light on my dilemma.

Okay, new problem... I'm starting to think now that maybe my RAM woes were not RAM woes at all. I'm beginning to think that perhaps I have a failing hard drive. Right away after purchasing my Mac mini I took the original 80GB hdd out and replaced it with a brand new 120GB 5400rpm Seagate hdd. I started having these random shutdown problems and then yesterday after having my new 2GB's of RAM installed for about a week or so (and working flawlessly), I got the screen that tells me that I need to hold down the power button to restart my computer. I do so and it goes to this terminal type screen and runs through all kinds of command lines. I restarted and desktop came back up so I did a couple software updates (1 Airport update, 1 Security update). After that finishes the mini restarts and it hangs at the grey screen w/the apple. So, I shut the computer down and restarted and this time it gets to the 'OS X starting up' screen and hangs when the status bar reaches the end. So, I shut it down and restart yet again. It goes on and on like this and finally ends up getting to the desktop after roughly 6 restarts. I quickly back up everything on my computer and try a few more restarts to see the progression of the problem and try to troubleshoot. At one point I heard the hard drive click 2 times. After another round of numerous restarts I get back to the desktop and by this time alot of my programs were getting the beachball when opened and would never function (i.e. - Disk Utility, System Profiler & Safari). I put my Mac mini OS X install disc in and restarted to wipe everything out and see if my OS got messed up somewhere along the way and was causing my problems. As soon as it boots from the disc I got an error box informing me that It cannot install the OS but allows me to access Disk Utility. I erased and did a 1X pass zero out. I restarted my machine and yet again it hanged at the grey screen with the apple. I restarted a couple more times and now it just tells me it can not install the OS and shuts itself down within a few seconds of this message.
So, this is where I'm at now... Can anyone else confirm that this sounds hard drive related vs. RAM related? The only variable that has changed recently has been the RAM and I refuse to believe that I got bad RAM twice in a row from a company as reputable as Crucial.
Help me AndyO, you're my only hope! (yes, that was a nerdy Star Wars reference)

Should I just wait untill the Intel Mini's are out to make the switch over?

I have been somewhat active on this board for the last month or so looking at the Apple Mini. I want a computer that never really slows down, or crashes a lot. Also, I want a computer that can do some light video editing, and some light gaming (think: Battlefield 1942!).. I'm thinking about waiting till the New Intel Mini's come out but I really don't know when that will be! I don't know if I can hold on for 8 more months with this crappy thing they call an OPERATING SYSTEM.
Do you guys know when the Intel's are coming out? When they do, thats when I might make the switch from XP to mac OX.
Thank you all!

Though a bit belatedly, I thought it might be worth pointing out an issue that ought to cross the minds of those considering buying a mini but not sure whether to wait for the Intel models or not.
Aside from the fact that no-one knows when the Intel minis will be announced and what specs (thus performance) they will have, and the fact that as soon as the first models are out, there will be a tendency to want to wait until the next revision for the 'rev.a' bugs to get ironed out and some speed bumps ironed in, one important extra consideration is the software that's intended to be run.
All software at this time is G4 compatible, and many titles are either already in universal binary, or about to be so, thus would run natively on an Intel-mini. But some, Adobe CS and Microsoft Office (to name a couple of significant examples) are not universal yet, and while they likely will become so, it's not at all clear when. Until they ARE universal, those apps will run in emulation on an intel Mac, and performance is not reported to be stellar.
So I'd suggest to anyone considering the issues, to look at the titles you want to run, and make sure all the important ones are Intel-native already, or going to become so very soon. If they are, then waiting for an Intel mini is perfectly reasonable as long as you don't have any immediate need and can wait however long it takes. But if any crucial apps are PPC only and likely to stay that way, I'd buy a G4-powered mini while they're still available, and trade it later when the crucial apps go Universal and the Intel models have settled down.

Should I replace failed hard drive in imac 4,1 or run from external or mac mini?

My hard drive failed in my iMac 4,1 (early 2006 intel). I am running from an external drive, but slow. Should I replace the hard drive ($300 at Apple), purchase a better external to run from or a mac mini? I'm trying to determine if it makes sense to invest further in this iMac since its 5 yrs old already. Can any one offer some insight/opinion?

Hi moreenie
Your profile does not indicate your geographic location, but there are Authorize Apple Service Providers that can and will do the work for considerably less than your local Apple Store.
http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/
Call around, at less than $200 to replace the Hard Drive, it makes a little more sense to fix and use it for another year or two...
I replace the Hard Drive in my Early 2006 a couple of years ago not because it died, but because it became to small.
Sorry I can't honestly help you decide, because I'm torn and can't decide for myself. Not liking the Glossy iMac's, I've also been toying with the idea of either a Mac-Mini or used Mac Pro? My biggest problem with the Mac-Mini is, that by the time you do a few upgrades it cost as much as a base iMac.

Will the G4 top housing case fit the Intel minis?

My friend has an intel mac and his case is just scratched up big time. Both on the top and sides. Looks really ugly. I found him a case from a G4 mini for dirt cheap and was wondering if it would fit his intel mini. I know the intel's have an infrared sensor and I told him that the G4 replacement case would cover it and that the remote might not work- but he's okay with that since he says he's never used the remote.
So does anyone know any issues that would make it incompatible? The only thing I could see in pics on the internet is that it kind of looks like the cd-rom slot is slightly more to the left ( http://media.arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/macmini.media/minifront.jpg ). Is this true? Because I think that would be a huge issue.
Thanks in advance!

The ports on the rear are in different places in the G4 and Intel Minis.
For starters, the Intel has 4 USB ports and a microphone jack, while the G4 Mini has 2 USB and no microphone jack.
I don't think this project is a good idea.

Intel Mini superdrive VERY noisy on DVD-RW close session, media hosed

My Intel Core Duo mini with superdrive has always made LOTS of noise when rewriting DVD-RW (not the first burn).
It all goes well, for example using Apple Backup, but when it closes the session on a re-used disk it spins up REALLY loudly over and over again. It can take 15-20 minutes to close the session.
One disc did this for about 4 backup (erase->rewrite cycles) and then the drive just gave up and the disk was not visible and backup still said "closing session". I had to reboot the box and eject the disk with Disk Utility - after it was noisily spinning up a lot.
Of course the media is now unusable.
Another backup on a virgin DVD-RW from the same batch works. I am pretty sure next time I do it the close session will get noisy again etc.
I am not the only person who notices the loud close session noise and VERY slow closing of sessions - my friend has an Intel Mini Core Duo too and it does it.
Another firmware update debacle looming?
Media: Philips DVD-RW 1-4x

Well here's an update.
I took a working (first burn) DVD+RW (they are all DVD+RW not -RW as previously stated sorry) and copied all the data off it onto my mini. Then I tried to erase it using Disk Utility. That was 30 minutes ago and it is still BUZZING very loudly in 10 second bursts with quite gaps in between. I've given up now and can't get the disk out of the drive, I will have to reboot and get it to throw it out then.
I want to know if I'm the only one with this problem. I will try some other media soon and I will also try the SuperDrive in the PPC G4 mini I have to see if that one is ok with the same media.
In the meantime my DiscRecorder.log shows the sorry tale... and maybe the "burning at 47x" bit is a clue to there being a problem?!!
