Need help  Target mode  G3---G5

Trying to get an old G3 (blue-white) to start in target-mode-- not luck holding down "T"=key-- hooked up to intelG5iMac via firewire..
any help appreciated. Need to access info from old drives... cannot access info in another way....
regards

There are several ways to start a computer in the Target mode:
To transfer files using FireWire:
Shut down the computer to be used as a disk. Leave the other computer on.
Connect the two computers with a FireWire cable.
Start up the computer to be used as a disk, then open System Preferences, click Startup Disk, and click Target Disk Mode. (Or, start it up while holding down the T key.)
A disk icon appears on the desktop of the other computer.
If your other computer does not boot up, then it is possible that the HD is no good. You will not be able to start in the Target mode with a bad HD.

  • Need Help, Power Mode Changer

    So the yoga is a cool computer but, it lacks lots of features. I for one miss the ideapad touch button power mode feature from my old laptop.
    I am remaking this program but I need help with the graphics.
    This is where I am right now:
    http://i43.tinypic.com/5mwgeq.png
    My goal is to make a hotkey controllable program that will change mode with the key function : ALT + Spacebar
    It will probably take me 20 more min to add this hotkey feature. However, I need help with the graphics. If you guys help with the graphics, I will share this program with the public. 
    Also, I would love suggestions and ask for your opinion. Is this something you would be intrested in?
    Of course, the program will be free of charge and I might even make it open source.
    ***Edit***
    To show you guys I am not BSing:

    To change between modes, press the LEFT ALT + Z. In the final version, the hotkey will be left alt + space bar, for now, this is a beta.

    The program has already been made. All I need is help with the graphics. 
    Attached below is a sample background and button png, in the size it needs to be.

  • Bought Gems from CoC never received it. Need help from Mod if possible!

    I bought some gems from Clash of Clans, but unfortunately i never received it.
    I mailed Supercell (CoC) and they told me to mail Apple and ask a refund.
    And i did that and its 4 days passed and i still don't got  an answer from Apple, even though they told me they answer you back in less than 48 hours.
    So can you guys give me some advice or a mod can check this out for me.

  • Broken firewire ports - boot problems - target mode help needed

    HI there,
    I have a 15" macbook pro from 2008 with core 2 duo cpu etc.
    It has recently developed the problem of hanging during the boot process with a blue screen, taking around 5 minutes to get to the login screen.
    Much research has led me to the solution of removing two files from the SYSTEM > LIBRARY > EXTENSIONS folder relating to the firewire bus (?) and this has solved the issues about booting. (IOFirewireIP.kext and IOFirewireFamily.kext)
    (I put on a clean install of 10.6.3 and the screen stayed blue. Removing these two files in target mode fixed this problem.)
    There is still a sleep problem though - i.e. the machine does not wake from manual sleep (Apple menu) or if the system sleeps after the time allocated in the energy saving preferences.
    There are so many suggestions on the web, it's almost impossible to know what the correct course of action is.
    Another strange thing is, is that I can boot into target mode and access the drive via the firewire (400) port from another mac.
    If the port were truly broken, how come it still works in target mode?
    Is it possible that the firewire interface is not broken, but disabling these two files above could eliminate another associated problem?
    Also, is there an online resource, or walkthrough, to eliminate what could be causing the sleep problems?
    I would appreciate someone's suggestions on this and thank you for your help in advance!
    Best wishes,
    Torbz

    Strangely, after installing a clean 10.6.3 - I've updated to 10.6.8 and the firewire ports are suddenly back and being reported in system profiler (whereby they were not before).
    The two files I deleted above have been re-instated through the updates - and all seems well.
    I've yet to check the sleep mode problem - but the firewire has at least sorted itself out...
    That's a bonus!

  • I tried downloading the iOS8 to my iPod 5th generation and when it finished downloading it shut down completely and it said there was an error and no the iPod is in recovery mode. What can I do to restore it and update it? Please, I need help.

    Hello,
    I recently tried downloading the IOS8 to my iPod 5th generation and when it was almost done the computer said there was an error. Right after that, the iPod shut down completely and now it's on recovery mode. I plugged it in and it said that I had to restore it and update it so I could use it again but it doesn't let me. What can I do? I even did a backup before the update.
    I really need help.

    What happens when you connect to computer and restore via iTunes?
    Without knowing that:
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    yes i am sure. This are the exact words... "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full. (Removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space". i tried some options, hard reset, redsnow, tinyumbrella but still it's stuck.

    After I go throught he extracting software and then it locks up in itunes saying its waiting for the ipod but it just sits there for hrs with no result.

    No. You have to restore. To allow the restore try the following:
    - A reset.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Manually placing the iPod in Recovery Mode
    - Placing the iPod in DFU mode.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Error 1603
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • URGENT! Currently abroad, need help with iMessage on 4S in Airplane Mode.

    Hey guys,
    As stated in the description, I need help turning on my iMessage on my iPhone 4S that's in Airplane Mode. Before I left California for vacation abroad, I accidently turned it off, now having problems turning it back on. It reads, "Waiting for activation..." under the iMessage switch. I tried turning my phone off then back on, but the message was still there. Any tips on what I should do? Since I'm in another country, I don't want to take it off Airplane Mode till I'm back home in California.
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    James Ward4 wrote:
    should it?
    Yes.
    I've never had to deal with that, and have turned iMssage off on the iPhone a number of times.
    But you'll always had the ability to send an SMS, correct? Big difference.
    I seen this before with users who turn off iMessage, as the OP did, put their phone in Airplane Mode, go to a foreign country, & then can't re-activate it.

  • My phone (5C) is stuck in the restore mode which is preventing a backup which is preventing installation of IOS 8.1. Need help.

    Hi Petesmith643,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like your device is in recovery mode. I understand you would like to back it up before updating to iOS 8.1 but cannot because you are in recovery mode. I would first suggest restarting your device to exit recovery mode. 
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?

    Hi 
    Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?
    How can I change Permissions for the individual users to see specific projects or all projects in project center and to see specific quick launch items?
    For Example: if i have 4 users, A, B, C and D. what i want is:
    User A can see everything and act as a project manager or Admin.
    User B can view all projects in project centre but can change the schedule or resource assignment etc.
    User C can only act as approver of projects and can view all projects in project centre.
    User D can only view specific projects for which permissions are given.
    can i have some expert help in sorting and understanding permission modes... as i was playing with project server mode permissions and can't figure out how to apply the above scenario to set of my user.
    Thanks in Advance
    Cheers

    Hi Ajay,
    Please refer to this link for detailed explanations about PS2013 security model. 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197638(v=office.15).aspx
    Actually, it will take a couple of days to explain in detail the security model that is a fundamental and tricky aspect of every PS implementation. But basically, you NEVER set permissions for a single user. You have groups in which your insert users. Groups
    define "what users can do". Then you associate groups to a corresponding category. Categories define "what user can see". Thus the association of a group with a category will set "what the user can do on the objects he can see". Then, for more advanced security
    level, you can use the RBS that will consist in "branches" in which you'll insert users. Based on those branches, you'll customize categories to fine-tune what user can see (for projects and resources) depending on the RBS branch and level.
    I'd advice you to start "playing" in a test environment with the default categories/groups that might probably cover your need.
    Concerning your 4 users:
    user A : add him to the "administrator" group. Be careful that you're mentionning either project manager or administrator, which are 2 groups/categories with totally different permissions level.
    user B : basically can see everything and change everything? it could be in the project manager group, assuming that there are no project visibility restrictions on the category via the RBS.
    user C : waht do you mean by "approver"? Workflow approvals? Then it will be the portfolio manager group. Task update or timesheet approval? Then it is another long topic: please refer in the documentation to the "status manager" and "timesheet manager"
    concepts. There are not related to the security model. In a few words, the status manager is the owner of the project plan, is defined for each task and approves tasks updates. The timesheet manager is an attribute defined for each resource in its parameters
    and approves resource timesheet.
    user D : you have to define which permission level must be given to this user. Basically it could be a team member that will see only projects he's in the project team. Note that team member cannot interact with the project plan in another way than submitting
    timesheets and/or tasks updates which must be approved.
    Once more, those are large and complex subjects that require a deep dive into your business model and tons of tests in a test environment.
    Hope this helps.
