Networking iMac intel(OSX4.4), iMac CRT(OS9.2), printer, scanner, and cable

I am trying to set up a network with my new iMac Core Duo and my old iMac CRT and a printer and a scanner. I want the printer and scanner to work with both computers, and for the Core Duo to be the one connected with the internet via cable. (My ISP will only allow one computer to be connected.) I also want the two computers to be able to work with each other's files. The Core Duo has OSX 4.4 and the iMac CRT has OS 9.2. Previously, I had two iMac CRT's working on a network as just described. I was using a 5 port hub.
Now, my question is: Can this be done? I have tried everything I could think of, but have had no luck. I can get one or the other computer to work the internet, which is fine, but I can't get them to talk to one another. At one time I managed to get the iMac CRT's icon to appear of the Core Duo's desktop, and could pass stuff one direction, but I could not get the Core Duo's icon to appear on the CRT's desktop.
Another problem: Each computer has a single Ethernet port so I can't tie them together directly and still access the modem. Can I tie the stuff together using Ethernet cables? There are plenty of Ethernet ports available.
Is there some website I can go to to get educated about this?
This is the longest question I have seen on this discussion forum!

Sounds like you need a router. Connect the modem and the Macs to the router so both of your machines have internet access. The modem will assign a single IP to the router and then the router will assign IPs to the Macs. You can also connect the printer to the router so both machines have access. I'm not sure about the scanner though as I've never seen one with ethernet connections.

Since most recent OS update, my iMac intel won't open my HP Officejet 4500 scanner. I have un-installed and re-installed the 10.8.3 update and the dame with HP drivers. I get the essage (HP scanner won't open because of a problem". Suggestions???

It's possible that you need new drivers from HP, in order to be compatible with OS X 10.8.3. Looking at HP website, they haven't released new drivers since last November. You might need to wait for new drivers or contact HP to push for an update.

I have Photoshop Elements 9 on an iMac with OS 10.6.8. I bought a new printer/scanner and the program will not import the new scanner to replace the old one. How do I do this?

Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.

I have an old iMac and am thinking about getting an iMac intel do I need a different kind of usb and firewire cord?

I have an old iMac and am thinking of getting an iMac intel. Do I need a different type of usb and firewire cords to work with the new one?

What type of Firewire cable do you have?
If our not sure then first look up your computer with the serial number here,

Then take a look at the specs for the new iMac here and see if you have compatible cable,

Network-attached printer/scanner and Mac OS X 10.4 Intel

Hello,
I am a recent switcher and now would like to add some kind of All-in-one Printer/Scanner to my home. I would like to be able to scan documents from Mac OS X via the network. Can you recommend any hardware vendor or specific product?
I tried searching for this topic, but "network scanner" usually means something different hence only unrelated information showed up.
Earlier I looked at the HP Photosmart 2575. There is Universal software available, but I cannot see if the scanning part is available via network.
Thanks for sharing your experience with me!
Kai

I have the 2575 and use it with my Intel iMac OS X 10.4.7. For network scanning I use the browser based interface in the printer rather than the HP Applications. It works fine for simple scanning tasks. It doesn't provide much in the way of control of the scanning options, just the type, Color Picture, Color Drawing, B/W Picture, and Text. It also lets you select the document size from a drop down with standard sizes like: Letter, Executive, 4x6, 5x7, 3x5 and 3x3.
The full blown application has a full feature set but I've been having troubles getting it to work reliably. I haven't had time to diagnose what the problem is but I think it is network related so it may just be my network configuration.

Intel iMac Core Duo 20" Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2 Gb, 128 VRAM, 250 Gb

My iMac intel shows a shared computer that does not exist and I cannot disconnect. How can I remove it?

A computer appears to be shared, but there is no info on it and I cannot connect nor disconnect it. Three of us have tried all the things we could think off without success. It has been going on for months and does slow down some applications that seem to attempt connectionc.
When I reboot I get the following message thre of four times.
There is a problem connecting to the server Isabelle's IMac G5 (10). The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address. Check your network connection, and try again.
I have done all that it says, there is no IP address and the network connection seems OK. If I attemp to move the icon representing this server to the Thash, it turns for a short time to an Eject but then it comes back saying that the item cannot be deleted.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Does this "server" appear in System Preferences > Users > your account > Login Items ?

Imac Intel will not boot up - 3 days old, light on, starts to spin...

I got an Imac Intel 20" from my husband on mother's day and it now will not turn on!! White light comes on, sounds like it is trying to boot and then nothing... blank screen, no beeps - have unplugged and restarted, tried a million key combination from the forums and still nothing... locked up once on "Garage?" software (according to son)... worked for 2 days...
Very dissapointed and sad... husband looking like the PC is still a better box even after breaking down and getting the Imac - can't help much because this is all new to him...
Help!

If you bought your imac with a credit card anywhere in your home state(or within 100 miles of your home in another state), then you can return it within 30 days if you are unsatisfied. That is federal law, and a store cannot do anything to deprive you of those rights--no matter what they say (or what they print on the receipt under your signature). My Apple store tried to tell me they only allow returns for 2 weeks. I told them the were violating federal law and they were required to issue a credit for the amount of the return, and they reluctantly complied.
I believe credit card companies are now required to print those rules on your bill (mine does and I don't think it would do so voluntarily), so you can check the fine print on your last bill and read them.
So, if you meet the above requirements, take your imac back . Insist on a refund. Be firm. If the retail person won't do it, tell them you want to speak to a manager. Once they credit your account, walk up to another retail person and tell them you want to buy a 20" imac.
If the retailer won't credit your account, then call your credit card company, and tell them you tried to return a defective product within the 30 day limit that you bought in your home state, and you would like them to reverse the charges.

IMac Intel and Aperture 1.1.1

When I install Aperture 1.1 on OSX 10.4.6 and my iMac intel with 2G0 of RAM, Aperture is'nt running and if I reboot my iMac the machine no-starting (the clock is turning continualy).
After a new installation of OS X and the patch 1.1.1 of Aperture, Aperture is running.
But Aperture stop after few minutes (10 or 30, ....)!
I search a solution

Bonjour. I also have an Intel iMac with 2Gb and it works fine. I'm not sure why you have a problem, but have you tried reparing your permissions via Disk Utility.
If you have anti-virus, was this disabled during the install, as that may have impacted a smooth install.
I'm new to Mac's myself, but hope the above is useful. I can confirm Aperture 1.1.1 works on your hardware combination.
Merci beaucoup.

I am on an iMac Intel with 10.6.8 networked to iMac PPC G5

I have an old iMac G5 running 10.5.7 which has several old applications on it (PhotoShop, Illustrator). It is networked to my newer computer, an iMac Intel running Snow Leopard. Can I update to Lion on the Intel and still access the old applications on the G5 ? I have not kept up very well since I retired - and buying all new software is out of the question. Of course it is simple enough to just use the G5 when I do one thing and the Intel when I do another. I like to know before I start what to expect. Thanks for any input.

What error message ar eyou getting. Why do you say it will not allow you to download?
Verify you meet all the system requirements:

My imac intel display is frozen. Both the mouse and my network is working. Has anyone had problems like this and were you successful at fixing it?

My imac (Intel) display is frozen. Both the mouse and the network are working. I've shut down various times, pulled the cord from the receptacle on the power strip, and restarted several times. No luck. Has anyone had problems like this and were you successful at fixing it? Thanks. Would appreciate any help. Paula

Same problem, but a c.2009 iMac running OS X 10.9.1. Just happened overnight. Presently, I'm able to access my HD via wireless via laptop and copying all non-backed up files to an external drive. So far, Paula is the only other person I've found with this same problem and hers was three years ago! Going to keep searching for an answer.

Cannot add a Canon Network printer to iMac (Intel) OS 10.8.3

I have never been able to connect this mac to the networked printer(Canon ImageRunner Advanced C5045). The printer is detected as a printer nearby connecting through bonjour, but it won't print with the updated drivers, it wont print with generic drivers. I've added it by IP address, by advanced settings with IP address, When I use the canon drivers, it gives me a driver error -50. When I use the generic drivers it says its connecting and says it sent the prints, but nothing comes out of the printer. I'm kind of at a loss. Any suggestions? Please?

been sitting here non stop for two days trying to make it work.
Under Adding it by default:
Ive used the canon driver UFR II (both US and UK) 2.43 which is supposed to work with 10.8. This leads to an error "Cannot communicate with the printer, or the printer is not supported. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection and add it again, then start Printer Utility to get the printer information." Ive used the generic PostScript printer driver and the generic PCL printer driver. These say they have printed - but nothing comes out of the printer.
Under adding it by IP
Ive used IPP with canon drivers/generic drivers (canon drivers error -50 - generic drivers say they have printed but nothing comes out) Ive used Jet Direct with canon/generic drivers (no results) Ive used LPD with canon/generic drivers (no results)
Under adding it by windows
I've found what I believe to be the printer, but it asks me to log into the printer with a user name and password - I dont have either and didnt need any such thing to set it up on the windows machine right next to it.
Under adding it by advanced
under canon CUPS BDL - got error -50
under canon CUPS Uni-direct IP - got error -50
under canon CUPS Uni-direct USB - got error 50 and Printer is not responding.Check the printer power and connection, and then try sending printing job again.
under canon UFR - got error 50
under IPP - got couldnt connect would you like to continue - yes - says printed - no results
under IPP (http) got error -50
under IPP (https) - got error 50
under IPP (ipps) got error 50
under Jet direct - got no results
under LPD/LPR - got no results
under windows with spoolss - got log into printer with user name and password - followed by error -50

Power Mac 7500/100 (G3) -networking wireless/either net 2 iMac...

I got a iMac Intel Duo (2006) OS 10.6.5 & I'm trying to get my PMac 7500/100-G3 (upgrade) OS 9.1 to talk to each other by eithernet or a wireless network for simple file sharing & transfer. Is there a way to do that? I do have a Eithernet Hud thet they are both hooked up to. So far I have not found a way and I just transfer files via:
PMac 7500 - USB > Thimb Drive < USB - iMac.
Soon to get my PMac G5 up and going with the same problem...

OSX.4.x lost the file transfer ability of Appletalk... 10.1.5 thru 10.3.9 had it!
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301183
With OS9 set with Appletalk to using TCP/IP, and or Chooser>AppleShare+IP, you can connect to a 10.4 or some later OSes machine.
"Mac OS X 10.4 and later don't support Personal File Sharing (or other AFP) over Appletalk, though by initiating the connection from the opposite direction you could still achieve an IP connection from a Mac OS 8 computer to a sharing Mac OS X computer. The Network preference pane in Mac OS X 10.4 and later still offers the AppleTalk checkbox, but it is for browsing AppleTalk-advertised resources and zones. The subsequent connection must be over TCP/IP."

IMac Intel 24" - Airport Wireless Rate

Here is my setup:
1 - 24" Intel iMac 2.33 / 2 GB (Located 10 feet across from AP against a wall, in a large apt complex) Avg rate 13mb. I typically sit in front of the computer in between the AP and the iMac, though I see this low transfer rate without me in front of it and if I pull it out from the wall.
1 - Airport Extreme N Mounted 6 feet off the floor on opposite wall)
I have WPA2 Personal setup and WDS as Main, it is running firmware 7.3.2. There are 8 wireless clients connected (2 Macbooks, 1 Tivo, 2 iphone 3G, 2 AppleTV, 1 Wifi Cam)
1 - Airport Express N Located 5 feet to the left of the iMac on the same wall, connected to network via WDS, used as wireless bridge for HP Laserjet Printer (Average Rate 54mb)
Using iStumbler I have identified on average 8-14 other wireless networks in my area. I have adjusted my AP channel, moving it from crowded channels such as 6 or 11 to 3, 4, 10, 8 and 9... trying to keep at least 2 to 3 channels between my channel and the others I see.
Channels 1,2,3,4,5 and 10 don't work to well.. sometimes the iMac can never reconnect to the AP if these channels are selected. I have to use my MacBook to adjust the channel back a different channel... its pretty hit and miss... sometimes it works... some times it doesn't. The transfer rate will start out high... 120 and than drop settling on 13 no matter what channel with or without IR turned on. I avoid IR as it can drag down performance on its own and with 8 wireless clients already pulling on resources... I just avoid it.. doesn't seem to solve this issue.
Also, my Macbook Pro and MacBook can be positioned in the same location as my iMac and still maintain transfer rates of 120-130 on average.
I do not have a wireless phone in the house and the microwave is located on the other end of the apartment. the only thing near the AP is a LCD tv 3 feet below it. I have an external MyBook Drive sitting next to my iMac along with a HP Laserjet printer and ScanSnap Scanner... these devices are sitting level or below the imac... there are no shelves located in close proximity to the top of the iMac.
One other thing I am noticing... Airport Utility on my iMac has difficulty locating my base station at times even with full strength indicated in the menu bar.
All other devices connected to the AP average 54 -130 mb/s - This includes my AppleTV that is in a different room and has to transmit through a hollow wall. As well as my Tivo and Wifi cam.
The AP is set for 802.11n g/b compatible... though I have tried playing with this setting as well... not all of my network up to the N standard.. Tivo for example does not have a 802.11n adapter yet.
I have read through several support postings on various Mac Support Sites as well as this one... I have reset the SMU, deleted related Pref files and recently I did a Archive and Install of the system. At one point I did roll back the firmware on the AP based off feedback others had posted... no luck.
I have a feeling this is a hardware issue, either the Card in the iMac is bad or the Antenna is damaged or faulty.
I am looking for other suggestions... I want to avoid taking my computer in for repair as often it they come back in worse shape than when they went in...
Signal Stats
Strength/Nose
iMac -43 / -95 13mb/s
Airport Express N Printer WDS Printer Bridge -36/ -92 54 mb/s
MacBook -27 / -96 130 mb/s

it's actually working now, don't know how but it is.
still though, airport iMac shows 40 as peak connection in AirTrafficControl and right beside it the Macbook shows a peak of 55-56
wow.
