Old AEBS(g) into new network

Hi,
I've recently replaced my wireless network in the house, to a Airport Extreme (n) connected to the internet and a Time Capsule (n) which extends the network. These two items have replaced my old Airport Extreme Base Station (white domed version, g). Rather than throwing out the now redundant Base Station, is it possible to integrate the old AEBS into the new network, to hopefully extend the network? OR, is there a combination of all three which will optimise the network?
Thanks

Query 1. Does the Ethernet cable from the TC to the old AEBS go from the Ethernet port to Ethernet port OR Ethernet port to WAN port.
Since the AEBS will be in bridge mode, it won't matter which port (WAN or LAN) that you connect the TC to, but for consistency you can use the WAN port.
Query 2. After connecting everything up and restarting, the two networks were visible from the drop down menu in the top left corner however I could only connect to the internet via the network created by the old AEBS. Any suggestions why?
If the AEBS was configured as a bridge (Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)), then you should be able to connect to either network and still get Internet access. We may need to go over your configuration settings just to make sure everything is correct.
Query 3. Under the Airport Express in the Airport Utility, why is there a tab called 'Base Station' when it's not being used as such?
The "Base Station" tab is still relevant as this provides a means to configure the AirPort's base station name & administration password ... regardless on how it is being used.

That single file is like a single piece of the puzzle. It alone cannot be the picture. Nor can you derive what the picture looks like from a single puzzle piece.

Bringing all old files, etc. into new MacBook Pro?

I haven't gotten my new MacBook Pro, but I don't want to have to waste too much time getting things going when I do. I have my current PB G4 backed up to an external hard drive with Time Machine. How do I update the new MacBook Pro with all the files from the backup? Can I use Time Machine to do this? Does Time Machine know that there are old files from a previous machine that need to be brought into the new one?

If you have a TM backup then, yes, you can migrate files from the TM backup. This would be done using Migration Assistant. Since you will be migrating from a PPC machine please review the following:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- Migration Tips and Tricks;

MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Old iPhoto library into new iPhoto

Ok, to begin with let me apologise in advance for how this question is written. I am not the most savvy person when it comes to this type of thing but I am trying, I promise. So, I'm on my second MacBook Pro because my old one died a death after 5 years (and a toddlers intervention), a helpful guy at at Apple store got the harddrive out for me (a shiny piece of silver) which he said held all of my photos and music - the only two things I was worried about. With the help of this drive type thing that I plug this harddrive into, I was able to move across all of my music onto my new MacBook Pro but knowing that my photos would be a bigger job, I left that until I had more time. Well, I have just attempted to do this and it simply wont. It says its something to do with versions numbers. I can drag the library from the old harddrive (just the whole thing as I don't know if there is a specific sub-file that I need) onto my new desktop but when I think try to drag the old library into my new iPhoto, it simply wont read it. I have no idea what my old version number is but it would be pretty old, perhaps last updated 2-3 years ago. My new iPhoto library is version 9.2.3.
In short - what is this girl doing wrong? Please tell me I haven't lost all of my old photos forever? The man in the store said it was fairly straight forward, he could have migrated things at the time but I didn't buy my new MacBook Pro until a week later and my old harddrive had already been removed. All I want to do is have all my old photos with my new photos in one place, I am not worried about any tags or names or faces or place information that is saved with the old photos as I really only use it for a storage type place instead of utilising all the cool options (I should, I know) so if there is an easy way that your Grandma would be able to manage, please let me know.
Thank you!

You don't have to drag the library to the iPhoto icon. You have to double-click the iPhoto library to open iPhoto with it, and then, you should be able to access to the photos of your library. I recommend you to copy the iPhoto library to a different folder before doing this, because iPhoto will upgrade the library to make it work with your version, and if this fails, you will lose all your photos

Old E2 data into new E2

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
If your new E2 is brand new and never been synchronized before, just connect to the Hotsync cable, make sure you have the correct Hotsync ID selected in Palm Desktop, and synchronize.
If the new E2 is used, do a Hard Reset on it first, then Hostync as above. This article discusses the various types of Reset for different Palm devices:

Old iBook on a new network

I have an iMac G5 2.8 duo running 10.5.8. I also have an old iBook G3 500 running Panther with the appropriate Airport card. I have an Airport Extreme (not the new one) with the last firmware update Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.91.19). Prior to upgrading from a G4 to the G5, the iBook joined my un-encrypted wireless network no problem, along with all my other non-Apple devices. When I installed the firmware, I password encrypted the network using WPA2. The iBook still sees the network, but refuses to join. I checked my iMac's keychain to be sure I was using the correct password, but no luck. I have a Wii and a Tivo successfully hooked up to the wireless, and my brother can access the network with his BlackBerry as well. Why won't an Apple product recognize the encryption?

Problem importing old iphoto library into new computer

SO I ORIGIONALLY WROTE THIS TOPIC:
"Ok so I just bought a new macbook pro with iphoto 08 and i want to transfer my pictures from my old Imac with im guessing iphoto 06 and all the albums to my new computer. How do i do this. I tried it once but i did it wrong because i only got the pictures over there but no albums so i deleted them on the new computer and am ready to try again"
THEN I GOT THIS RESPONSE:
Quit iPhoto, copy the entire iPhoto library as a single entity from the old computer into the pictures folder on the new computer and launch iPhoto on the new computer - it will convert (a one way conversion) the library as needed and you will be set.
SO I DID THAT AND THE PHOTOS ARE THERE ON THE HARD DRIVE BUT WHEN I OPEN IPHOTO THERE IS NOTHING THERE
PLEASE HELP

Nick:
Have you checked the size of the copied library to make sure it's a valid one. To be sure you're opening the correct library launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, select the option to choose a library. Navigate to your pictures folder and select the library to copied over from your old iMac.
If your sure that's the library from the old iMac and it doesn't indicate any photos try the following in order as needed:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Old hard drive into new iMac

My old iMac (G5, no iSight) recently died. Of course, it had been a long time since I had backed up any of my data. The genius at the Apple store looked at it and said the motherboard burned out, but the hard drive was probably still good. While there I purchased a new iMac (iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24" display).
My question is... What is the simplest way, if any, to transfer data from my old hard drive onto my new iMac? The genius told me there was something I could buy to turn it into an external hard drive with a USB or Firewire connection, but he did not know the specifics.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
JCG

Hi JCG
Stuffing the old HD in an External Drive Enclosure is probably the best way to go, because you have a choice of USB/400/800 combination's and it protects the drive. A slightly less expensive NewerTech USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter could also be used to transfer data between the old drive and new iMac.

Old drive put into new Mac - all gone a bit wrong.

Hi there,
the scenario -
2 Macs - one Macbook Pro 15", one Macbook Pro 13" - the 13" is the newer of the two. We (I) was advised that I could simply swap hard drives (both 500 GB sata drives) and place the older drive into the newer 13" Macbook Pro. So i did...
When it moved, i started up the 13" and it didn't recognise any data, nor had a login, and wanted to start from scratch. Ok, i thought, so i can't do it after all and placed the hard drive back in the older 15" Macbook Pro.
Now, when i come to book the older 15" up, it isn't how it was and has lost it's bootable info, but can still understand (from looking in Disk Utlility) that it has OSX installed on it.
My Question:
Is there a way i can make the old (ex-working) drive in the 15" Macbook Pro, bootable and back to the stage where it works again, in that 15" MBP? i.e. as it was before i started the task?
Thanks in advance.
Ivan

Hi OGELTHORP,
Thanks for the email and reply,
I have been advised by the person using the mac, not to worry about the information required in the email sent to me on the back on the problem.
(Interestingly information that was asked in the email didn't appear on the website when i entered my serial number in, purely because we've not actually used the new 13" MBP at all yet. The only thing that came up was MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)) and the serial number. It also had the eligiblity information and support info, but nothing that would show the exact model or OSX version.
The 15" MBP info as follows: MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011) and the serial number, but doesn't contain an exact model number nor information on what OSX was currently installed.
I presume as i read Mavericks in the about this mac, the other day, this is what he is running on the 15" MBP.
So, im still in the same position, but we are simply putting the brand new drive back into the new 13" MBP and running it's installation procedure and will restore his data from a backup we made previously.
But for peace of mind, and problem solving purposes couild we continue down th route of working out why, or whether i could get back up and running on the older MBP ?

How to get old itunes library into new computer

imported my itunes folder into my new computer's users music folder via firewire. i had already pulled over itunes music folder. why don't any songs show up in itunes? if i go through the finder i can drill down to the individual track to play. and i can go to itunes > file > library > import and add each song, one at a time. not happening.
i can't find a thread with a clear instruction on this on the forum either.
what am i missing?

Sofrina Hinton wrote:
okay, i found my problem. i had not changed the name of Itunes folder on the new comp so the transferred folder was called Itunes Music.
That was not the problem. Don't rename the iTunes music folder.
The iTunes music folder is inside the iTunes folder.
The /Music/iTunes/ folder is the entire library.
You need to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from the old computer.

Beachball and hanging after putting old hard drive into new MacBook Pro

Hi there,
I really hope to find some help here.
The situation:
I had a MacBook Pro Early 2008 running Lion (10.7.5) until it died about a week ago (mainboard broken).
In this old Macbook Pro I had two hard drives: 128GB SSD and 1TB SATA 5400.
I bought a second hand MacBook Pro Late 2011 on ebay and upgraded the Ram to 16 GB.
Then I put the two hard drives in the new MacBook Pro Late 2011.
The Macbook is super fast and very responsive but every couple of minutes it is hanging for a few seconds or I get a beachball randomly.
This can happen in Finder, Google Chrome, Adobe Dreamweaver, basically anytime using any software.
I tried to create a new account and see if the problem persists. And yes, it does.
I tested the hard drives (disk utility) and the Ram (memtest/terminal) and all is ok with this.
The Macbook Pro Late 2011 comes with a 256 GB SSD and an empty slot for the second hard drive. The Macbook seems to function normal when using the 256GB SSD with Lion installed.
Unfortunately my external backup hard drive is not working anymore so I can't restore from there.
What do you recommend? Would it make sense to make a backup now, take out the 128GB and put in the 256 GB hard drive?
Please advice!
Thanks for any kind of help in advance!
Chris

I know people that have been doing things for longer than 10 years and they know jack. Formatting the HD is not really good "advice" in this situation.
I'm not cocksure - you just think I am because I'm disagreeing with you opinion, which you believe to be sacred (because you've been commenting for 10 years?).
So I thank you sir for your opinion but I certainly do not need your luck.

16x9 Material from Old Sequence Pasted Into New Sequence Is Letterboxed

I'm trying to paste a series of edited (and some nested) clips from a 1440x1080 23.98fps sequence into a new blank sequence with the same settings. But the canvas is now a 4x3 image, the material is letterboxed and a few non-nested scenes are squeezed or out of sync. What am I doing wrong?

Anamorphic does not help. The sequence is a mix of clips. Apparently the ones I have nested are fine. The ones I did not are squeezed. So it's a mixed bag. I may use a workaround where I dupe the original sequence and delete everything but what I need. That way no change.

Old G4 Harddrive into new G4 unit

Hi all,
My old graphite 466MHZ tower power unit has failed. I've tried all troubleshooting stages and it's the power supply. it's cheaper to buy another G4 tower than source another power supply. So can I simply slot my current hardrive with my OS and files etc in to a slightly newer quicksilver 867MHZ and expect it to startup with no problems??
Big thanks in advance,
Andy

Very likely, yes. Although there are murmurs of machine-specific OS installations I get the impression that in a case like yours they may not be as much of an issue.

Old computer account into new computer,

I have used migration assistant to move my daughter's account from a shared family mac to a new ibook. I was the administrator on the family mac but she had admin rights as well. On the new ibook she is the only account.
Now I find that most of the system preferences on the ibook are greyed out and she cannot make changes. The accounts icon is greyed out so i cannot make an extra admin account either.
Some applications are saying she does not have user rights and to contact the person who is the administrator of her computer, but it was supposed to be her!
Is there an easy way to rectify this? I really do not want to have to reinstall the system software .

thanks Neil and Gulliver.
I used the system dvd as it seemed the simpler option. I reset my daughter's password and also the root as it seemed like a good idea.
On restart I got another user named "others"
Opening my daughters account showed that she had all access back.
The issues I am left with now is that the root is enabled. When i disabled we lost the option to change system preferences in my daughters account.
I can go back to aneabling the root but it does not seem safe and the extra log in is worrysome (it does not show as an account so i guess that is the root?
Neil I have looked at netinfor manager and originally the information for admin comes up in a pane at the bottom ie users- root daughters name and lots of other stuff but it is all greyed out. If root is enabled this is all black.
Thanks for your help so far-can you get me a little further. I still think this is an issue with migration assistant bringing in accounts that were not admin users which is messing things up.
