Synchronization between iBook G4 and MacBook

Hey there!
I just got my new MacBook and I love it! Til today I have had the last generation of the iBook G4. I want to synch both. The iBook-data should mirgate to my new MacBook. Earlier that worked a fire wire connection. Now I recognized that the MacBook does not have a fire wire sonnection. How does the synchronization work? With USB 2.0???
I would appreicate any comments which helps me to solve this "problem"...
Thank You!

The cable works fine, tried it between the PowerBook G4 and an external hard drive.
The MacBook does not boot. It turns on to a blank white screen and stays there. It won't boot into safe mode or single user mode or anything like that.
Yes, I do have the install discs and put them in to try and reinstall Leopard. They boot, but the hard drive won't show when it asks me where to install. I hear there's a bug with the hard drive not appearing there and waited up to an hour on that screen, but that didn't make it show either. Then I went into Disk Utility, but the hard drive wouldn't show there either. At some point it did, but I couldn't run a repair on it. Then I restarted with the installation disc in again and then it wouldn't show at all.

  • Syncing mail between iMac G5 and Macbook Pro

    I work at home on a G5 and regularly read and then delete or file my emails. I regularly sync between my G5 and Macbook Pro, which I use when traveling. My syncing routine works fine with the address book, calendar, etc., but when I go my Macbook Pro Mail account after syncing, the inbox is still full of mail that I have already read and filed on the G5. Is the syncing routine designed to replicate the mail accounts or do I need to reread, delete, and file the emails on the Macbook as well.
    PS: I am using email accounts with cox.net, i.e., not mac.com accounts.
    Thanks for any help.

    The underlying issue here is that you have chosen to use POP3 rather than IMAP mail accounts. Only IMAP mailboxes are 'synchronized' by default: it is virtually impossible to synchronize POP3 mailbox content.
    For a discussion of POP3, IMAP and mail synchronization options, take a look at the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum located here.

  • Syncing Mail Between My iMac and Macbook

    I am new to the Mac world (I am a PC convert) and I now have an iMac and a Macbook for work.
    I have a couple of questions (some of which belong in this group and some elsewhere but I figured someone here could point me in the right direction):
    1. My company's email does not support IMAP, only POP. What is the best way to keep my email clients sync'ed? Ideally I would like my Inbox and all of my folders to be the same on my desktop and laptop and it would be great if it was automated somehow.
    2. What is the best way to handle my iPhone? Should I make my Macbook the "Sync Master" and only sync it to that?
    3. What is the best way to keep my folders and iTunes sync'ed between my iMac and Macbook? Someone suggested Martian Slingshot as the best way to keep them together. Do other people concur?
    Any other advice/experience that people may have on the easiest way to use a Desktop in the office and travel with a sync'ed laptop is appreciated.
    As I mentioned, I am very new to the Mac world. I can't really think of any great way to sync them in the PC World either but I am grateful for your help. I know I should have gotten a Macbook Pro but my boss didn't want to get me one so I am stuck with the hardware I have.
    Thanks.

    What I've done with email in the past is set only one of the machines to delete email from the server (if your company allows you that option). But you need to make sure you check with the one that doesn't delete before the other. You may be able to delete manually as well, so don't delete anything from the server until mail has been downloaded to both (I think this can be done in Apple Mail under advanced prefs). But that won't help with tracking replies, etc. And you'll have to manage mailboxes seperately.
    .Mac has a bunch of syncing options, but you may not want to go to that expense.
    Sorry I don't have any advice on the other stuff, only running 1 Mac.

  • My host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

    my host name changes every few days, since Xmas adding a macbook its changed 6 times. Do I need to stop this? Does it cause problems with sharing between the iMac and macbook?

    There are several possible causes for this problem.
    1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local".
    2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
    3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
    4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
    5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
    6. See also this support article.
    Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

  • Sharing Files between Windows Vista and Macbook Pro

    Hi everyone!
    I have just bought my first Macbook Pro and I love it. I am running Windows Vista on my desktop and connect wirelessly to the internet via a Netgear router. I have managed to connect to the internet with the Macbook Pro wirelessly too.
    I am not sure how to set up file sharing between the PC and Macbook - can anyone point me to some SIMPLE instructions please?
    Many thanks

    this is a wonderful article! thanks so much!
    only one small change though. you don't really need to create another user ID to access the windows machine. i used my existing ID and it logged on fine!
    but still, thanks for the rest of the article. i was totally lost without it...

  • How do I sync Pages and Numbers between my iPad and Macbook Pro?

    I know there is a way to use iTunes to sync my Pages and Numbers files between my iPad and Macbook Pro, but I can't seem to find the app or software or instructions. I've searched iTunes and all I've found are the apps that I already have installed on my iPad. Can someone tell me where I can find the right downloads and instructions? Thank you.

    The exact same way as in the old version.
    Option 1) Select the content desired to sync and sync.
    Option 2) Drag and drop the content onto the device.
    If the side bar is needed/desired, typing Cntrl + S will display it.

  • No calendar synchronization between outlook2010  iphone4  and mobileme

    Since I bought mobileme everything went wrong.
    I can synchronize between mobileme and my iphone 4 (IOS 4.1)
    But this is all.
    No synchronization between outlook (2010) and mobileme (1.6.2)
    No synchronization between outllok and Iphone
    I tried almost everything..
    I removed itunes and reloaded itunes
    I removed mobile me and reloaded
    I repared Outlook
    I removed Outlook and reloaded outlook
    and finally I removed Office pro 2010 and reloaded it..
    Nothing worked at all..
    I have another computer (at home) which is perfectly synchronized, with mobileme, outlook and my iphone.. Also a PC Windows XP pro.
    I only use a single calendar..
    I cannot find what's up here. And of course asked several expert groups
    and obtained no answer. May be some of you experienced the same trouble and I could appreciate your feedback of what you did to fix this
    looking formard hearing from you
    Best regards
    Jacques

    Well, I have checked the iCloud settings on the phone. As I have mentioned above the are obviously storage at the iCloud in use because I can see that there are less than 5GB avaliable. But I can not see the new calendar entries on the phone.

    Hi ahmad_alnjjar,
    It might seems that the training center have created a new MCP ID for you. To solve your problem just give a call to your Microsoft Region Service Centers (https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/help.aspx) by calling them to merge your 2 MCP IDs to one
    account.
    Hope this helps :)

  • Bluetooth connection between iPhone 4 and MacBook Air

    How to enable bluetooth connection between iPhone 4 and MacBook Air?

    I used to be able to connect my iPhone 4 with my 3 yr old MacBook Pro using Bluetooth. I used my iPhone's personal hotspot more then once to access the Internet on my laptop when there was no wireless. I don't get why it wouldn't work with my new MacBook Air. That just seems silly. My laptop found my iPhone and was able to add the device, but then my iPhone wouldn't connect. Is there really no way around this??

  • I am still not able to use itunes match or cloud between my ipad and macbook air

    I wonder if the problem of not beig alble to use itunes match between my ipad and my Macbook air is because i have the two set up on different email addresses so that I can use facetime between the two devices,if so how do I remedy that? I also have two seperate Apple itunes accounts for the two,would they both have to be on the same account?

    Yes,  I am connected to the internet.  I am getting my mobile me account email but nothing from my exchange server account, however when I try to reply to a message it gets stuck in my outbox.   When I click on Get Mail and send nothing happens.  Usually I see the spinning wheel  but nothing now.   There are several messages in my out box from both the exchange and mobile me accounts.  Thanks 

  • How do I sync my icloud calendar between iPhone 5 and macbook pro without a 1 hour difference? I've made sure that the time zones are the same on all devices and it's still doing it.

  • Share cinema display between Mac Mini and MacBook Pro

    Hello -
    I am keen to get an LED cinema display to use on my new MacBook Pro - but I share my study with my children - so want to give them a MacMini to use.
    How easy is it two swap between the MacMini and the MacBook Pro ? I guess there is only one input in the LED cinema display ???
    Thanks in advance.
    Andrew

    Interesting - I have the same idea: sharing a 24" cinema display between a Macbook Pro for myself and a Mac mini for my wife.
    The only problem I see is that the display doesn't have any Firewire ports. So if I want to use an external harddrive (or a mini-DV camcorder) on both computers when connected to the display, then I'd have to plug that into the computer instead of the display ...
