PPC Migrator Intel MacBookPro: Stalling

Hey all,
I just got my new MacBook Pro the other day. It's been way too long since I purchased a new Mac... in fact my previous machine was a trusty 1GHz Titanium Powerbook that has served me very well. Unfortunately, the screen is fading to white in the middle and the power management unit won't reset, its overheating the battery and itself and I think the logic board is getting a bit toasty.
Well, I opened the box, fired up the new 'Book and jumped right in to attempt a migration, seemed simple enough. Unfortunately , the new MacBook Pro is only FW800 and the old 'Book is FW400. So I first attempted a direct ethernet patch cable connection as described in the manual. No luck, the machines won't communicate. Next I tried a network connection, things ran fine for hours and then evidently the old 'Book stopped transmitting. I tried resuming this process after some restarts but it continued to stall.
Next I tried setting up an ad hoc wireless connection between the two and things would run smooth for a while and then they would stall.
So, now digging into these forums I read that most consider a PPC-to-Intel migration a "no-no". Great. I hate when you take Apple's tech information for granted only to find out the often more knowledgeable community here knows better (jab).
Okay, I'll concede here and accept that I should really just move stuff manually. I have a MobileMe account so getting calendars, etc. will be no problem. Applications may be a bit more tricky but I'll persevere.
The big concern I have is that now some things have been transfered and I'm not sure what they are or where they are... can I reset my new 'Book back to "out of the box factory settings, content, and configuration"?
Please help me Kappy-wan-kenobi, you're my only hope.

you can get a FW800 to FW400 cable.
another option is to clone your old hard drive to an external drive which has both FW 800 and FW 400 connectors. or just use a USB drive. you can then plug it into the new computer and migrate from that.

It's not really a non-no. It's just something to be wary of. many people do it without a problem but you should know what you are jumping into when doing it.

sure. just boot from the install disk 1 that came with your computer and do an erase and install. to boot from the DVD insert it, reboot and hold "c" at the chime.

  • PPC to Intel 10.5 migration

    So, I have a G4 running 10.5 server. I want to move it to a intel machine. What is the best way to migrate at 10.5 > 10.5 server, but going from PPC to Intel.
    Thanks,Scott

    How much you do is up to you. I'd boot the G4 from a DVD or another drive and use Apple Disk Utility to repair disk, repair permissions and then Restore to another volume which you will use on the Intel server. Make sure the Intel drive is formatted GUID in Disk Utility>Parition>Options.
    The G4 drive module will be formatted incorrectly (Apple partition map) for Intel which needs GUID, but you can clone using Carbon Copy Cloner or Apple Disk Utility to a new GUID drive for the intel. The intel should run the cloned disk fine, switch off the old server before booting the new one.

  • PPC to INTEL

    Hi I'm about to upgrade my G5 to a Mac Pro.
    Right now in my G5 I have so much stuff that I need to keep.. it's not even big things like Applications. It's little things like, Plug-Ins, bits and bobs that are attached to specific Applications that I wouldnt even know how to transfer to the new Mac.
    So I was wondering is it possible to just take out the internal HD from my G5 and put it in the Mac Pro?
    Would the PPC to Intel transition mean that my old apps wouldnt work? Or would the whole thing (the HD ) even register?

    The quickest and best is actually to just go and reinstall everything. Data is fine, prefs are too. PPC and migration assistant can cause mischief.
    Before you modify a system, make a backup! clone it. and work on a test system for awhile. always have a prior copy of working system in fact.

  • External hard drive for both a PPC and Intel Mac?

    I have 2 LaCie Hard Drives (500GB & 750GB) that I'd like to use for backing up my 2 laptops and for storing photo and music files.
    When I got the MacBook Pro, I partitioned the 500GB drive into 3 volumes and used SuperDuper! to make "bootable" copies of the MBP on one volume, theiBook on one volume, and put photo files on the third. I don't know/can't remember how I dealt with the directions below from Disk Utility and I fear I may have done the impossible or at least done the wrong thing.
    "If you will use a volume as a Mac OS X startup disk, click Options and choose the appropriate partition scheme. To use a volume to start up an Intel-based Mac, choose the GUID partition scheme. To use a volume to start up a PowerPC-based Mac, choose the Apple partition scheme."
    As I ask these questions, I find myself getting tongue-tied so please bear with me and read on...
    #1 - Is it *even possible* to do what I want and have the bootable copies of both of these laptops on the same HD since one is PPC and the other Intel? If the answer if yes, it's OK then the rest of this is moot.
    #2 - I can easily delete one or the other laptop backup from the 500 LaCie and put it on the virgin 750 and partiton it - problem is, is there a way to know how I partitioned the 500 HD so I won't have to redo it -I don't want to have to recopy the thousands of photo files already on the HD. If I knew how it was partitioned - Intel or PPC - I could just delete the appropriate laptop and move it to the other LaCie, assuming I have to.
    #3 - And, is it possible to use a drive that has been partitioned for PPC or Intel with the other type computer - will I be able to access the jpg photo files from both the MBP and my G4 both of which are Tiger no matter which way the HD is partitioned? Now I as able to do this, but as I said, I don't remember which way I partitioned the HD - all I remember is that I did choose to include OS 9 drivers since I still use Classic and OS 9 on the G4. ( I have yet another LaCie that I use exclusively to back up my G4 and it is not part of this issue)
    Mrs H

    So "To use a volume to start up a PowerPC-based Mac, choose the Apple partition scheme." really means it will work for my Intel MBP too?
    Yes.
    Is there a way to tell if that is what I already choose?
    Select the existing drive in the Disk Utility and find the Partition Map Scheme text at the bottom of the window.

  • Can PPC and Intel OS's be on the same hard drive?

    I do a lot of work on Apple computers for clients.
    I have made it a habit to bring firewire hard drives with OS X installed to my work locations so I can boot peoples' computers from my own, clean OS for numerous troubleshooting purposes.
    I was hoping to take a big hard drive I have, partition it into 4 parts, and install 10.4 Intel, 10.4 PPC, 10.5 Intel, and 10.5 PPC.
    But after I installed the PPC 10.4, I went to my macbook pro and tried to install 10.5 Intel.....and it wouldn't let me!
    So now I am learning about the Apple Partition Map format for a drive versus the GUID format and that basically one is for PPC and the other for Intel.
    But I would like to know if there is any way to format a drive in such a way that I can indeed install PPC and Intel version of an OS onto one physical drive in separate partitions???
    anyone?

    It's not intuitive but it's possible. You must set up your external drive using the APT partition map. Install the PPC version of OS X on one partition. Now here's the trick: You must install an Intel version of Leopard on a drive that has been partitioned using GPT. Then clone that installed version to another partition the external drive that now has the PPC version of Leopard. You now have a PPC version of Leopard on one partition and in Intel version on the other partition. You will find you can boot an Intel Mac from that partition even though the drive is partitioned APT.
    The problem is that Leopard will not allow itself to be installed on an APT partitioned drive. But an Intel version of Leopard will work just fine from an APT partitioned drive.

  • PPC to Intel Upgrade

    So, here is my situation, I have had my PPC G5 for about 2 years and my wife for about a year. Shortly there after, BAM, Intel based Macs hit the shelves. After all of the money invested in these machines (upgraded ram, air port cards, etc.) I don't really feel that dropping that sort of cash is the best move, but I want to upgrade to an Intel based mac...for obvious reasons.
    The question, is it possible to update the hardware of a PPC to Intel? The way Macs are set up, my first thought is no, but hey, beyond gaming and graphic design, I know jack about computers. If it is not possible, is anyone aware of a trade in program, one where you could get credit for your current tower to put toward a new one?
    Thanks for the help!

    No. The designs are very different.
    The best trade-in program is taking advantage of one of the key differences between Macs and Windows PCs - Higher resale value. Sell it on eBay or locally through Craigslist.
    I have had my PPC G5 for about 2 years and my wife for about a year.
    Not sure how the wife is part of the picture here...
    If you added a hard drive, you can keep that for your new Mac (if it's a Mac Pro) or use it in an external case for Time Machine on any new Mac. You should remove all the extra RAM and just keep the stock RAM installed. You generally get more if you sell your upgrades separately, such as the RAM module matched pair(s) and the AirPort kit. If you bought Leopard, install the original Mac OS X installation and sell the Leopard license. But be sure to include the original discs and manual with the Mac; the discs are always part of the Mac package.
    There are plenty of people who want the last and fastest of the PowerPC Macs, like the one you have. It can run PowerPC (non-Universal) apps better and faster without the Rosetta emulation needed by Intel Macs, and run Classic apps under Tiger. If it's two years old, it's probably one of the "dual core" models (as opposed to he earlier dual single core models), which to me is more valuable. And it's still pretty fast running Leopard, if you have at least 2GB of RAM, compared to dual core Intel Macs like iMacs and MacBook Pros.

  • PPC G5 intel upgrade.

    Hello,
    I know this is a silly question but I'd figure I'd throw it out there...
    Is it possible to upgrade the mother board from PPC to Intel? I love my machine but don't want to spend the $$$ on a new tower.

    Does 10.4.6 have two different install CDs for PPC and Intel?
    Also, is only CD 1 required for OS install?
    Thanks!

    I tried my black OS X 10.4.6 CDs on a G4 yesterday specifically to see if an install from disk 1 only is possible. Sadly it is not. It requires about 400 GB from disk 2 no matter how minimal you try to make it. My disk 2 contains the following and the install needs everything except languages:

    Upgrade to Leopard
    Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
    Upgrade beyond Leopard
    OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A

  • Difference in sound between Logic on PPC and Intel (64 Bit)

    hi,
    I'm using PPC for Logic Pro. Is there any difference in sound between using logic pro on PPC and running it on Intel Macs. I'm not good in tecnical things, but someone told me, Logic would sound better on Intel based Macs, because the system is 64 bit instead of 32 bit on PPC. Is that true? Any experiences?
    Thanx,
    grooveX

    There are no differences!
    the "sound quality" is stryctly relted with the Audio equipment.
    (the new Intel Xeon processors are faster than PPC... in 2008... obviously... but in 2003/4/5 PPC G5 was much faster than same year 2003 Intel Xeon release
    If you work with DAE TDM HD accell in PPC or on Intel the sound will be the same...
    obviosly if some update shoot down the compatibilty with PPC side you will cannot use the future upgrades...
    if you use a Motu 828 Mk3 the sound will be great... and same as ppc or Intel or Windows and Linux
    (but Logic works on Mac... PPC and Intel... is the same... logic is the master of the sound).
    Anyway... I think the analog recording studio in the 1970 1990 gives you a super great sound... in some cases the analog recording studio sonds much better that digital studios..
    I'm talking about a simple example.. the audio frequency are from 20 to 20.000 HZ... the music quality... (artistically) is not related with the quality of the machine that you use for make it....
    I suggest you not follow the mode ... and run to buy the last model .. most often are money thrown to the wind.
    if you buy a good new interface.... you are in the rigth way...
    but the very important thing is:
    MAKE YOUR MUSIC AND DON'T MATTER ABOUT these unnecessary competitions ... is only useful to those who sells computer!
    I know people that doing good music with old G4 ...
    ...music with highest quality ...
    is not the machine that makes the music .... Only MEN can obtain a piece of art ... even using dirt!

  • Best practice migration 10.4.11 G4 PPC to Intel server

    We are ready to upgrade our aging server to a new Intel system. I am wondering the easiest approach. The current server is not running the Universal 10.4. I don't believe there is any viable option that doesn't require lots of hands on rebuilding to move from 10.4 PPC to 10.4 Universal. If that is true, I figure the best route might be to upgrade to 10.5.1. Can I take a backup drive and do this on the Intel machine? I am thinking it will not go for this and I likely have to upgrade on a PPC system and then clone that over to the Intel. Will the format of the drive effect this? I am thinking it will in which case I am thinking my only solution is the topicdesk tool for migrating email as the rest will not be a big hassle. Thanks for any thoughts!

    Paul,
    I tested this on a borrowed Intel workstation, so I was only able to run it for about a day or so. In that short time I did not encounter any problems.
    The GUID Partition table is available in Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities). Select the hard disk, then the Partition tab should appear. Select the number of partitions then click options. You will see the GUID as one of the options.
    You can use CCC to clone from a boot drive to another disk. Before I started cloning, I turned off all services and disconnected the network cable.
    It seems like Leopard loads all the files it needs to run on an Intel box.
    As long as the target disk has enough space, it does not have to match the size of the source drive. It's generally best, to erase the target disk before cloning.
    One last thing, if you are trying to upgrade a production server, I would use CCC to clone the current 10.4.x set up to a disk image. That way you have something to fall back to if anything goes wrong.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • How to migrate ARD 3 Tasks from PPC to Intel platform?

    I have been trying to move my ARD install from an old PPC 10.4 Server to a new VMWare ESX hosted Intel 10.5 Server.
    I've seen http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080403105655929 which tells exactly how to do this and I have done this before from a PPC Server 10.4 to a PPC 10.4 Server.
    Now however when I try to do this none of my tasks appear in the new Intel 10.5 setup. I have seen notes that trying to move /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist from a PPC install of ARD3 to an Intel install of ARD3 will not work and I will have to rebuild the tasks.
    Could someone please verify if I have to rebuild all my tasks (a stupid thing to have to do mind you)or if there is a way to migrate my ARD3 install.
    Thanks,

    The tasks are stored in ~/Library/Preferences/Remote Desktop. Make sure that folder was copied correctly.

  • Retro Migration: Intel mac mini to PPC G4 powerbook

    I have a perfectly good top of the range G4 powerbook sitting around and my partner wants to use it to to go mobile, is it possible to use the leopard migration assistant to move data from an intel mac mini to a G4 powerbook, is it all just a normal transfer or is there anything special i need to do?

    You want to be careful about using the migration assistant when it comes to copying items from the user library. Rather than use the migration assistant, I'd do a Finder copy of the Documents, Pictures, Music and Movie files and install the programs manually. If you want to give her her bookmarks, contacts, and mail, you can safely copy the Safari folder from the Library to the G4's Library. I'd set up Mail Accounts on the G4 manually and then export the mail from each mail folder and copy them over for import. I'd export the contacts and then import them as well.

  • Migrating from PPC to Intel. Copied iTunes library manually to default location, but iTunes won't recognize it - seems to work, but no songs visible. Using Lion on Mac Mini Server.

    I've never had iTunes fail to recognize a library when I moved it to another location, or restored it to the default location. It always just works. But not this time.
    I copied my roughly 30G library into the default location, but iTunes doesn't see it at all.
    I have no idea what to try next. Help.

    Did you copy everything? Media folders, library files, artwork folders, etc?  Did you put them in the default location of Music/iTunes/iTunes ?
    You can also try starting iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to where you did put the library file.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • Leopard to SL, PPC to Intel

    Trying to be forewarned, so I can assess computer downtime, about any special issues I may face when I move from my PB G4 (PPC) with OS X 10.5.8 to a MBP (Intel) with Snow Leopard.
    Appreciate any advice/warnings.
    Thank you.

    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.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

    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:

    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)
