System Migration HELP!!! anyone? anyone?

So i have a g4 tower running 10.4.xx and i want to use system migration to pull all the info onto my new macbook pro running leopard. not a problem normally but the firewire ports on my G4 are dead! so i can't boot and hook it up in target mode.
Is there an easy way to still use system migration without firewire? i was thinking share the whole drive on the G4 mount it on the desktop of my new system and run system migration and select the mounted drive. would this work?
anyone with info would rock and i will thank you forever.. ok maybe just thank you but i will totally appreciate it!
cheers,
jess

Migration from a G4 to a MacBook Pro requires careful considartion. Many doing such a migration have difficulty with the Migration Assistant. See this user tip:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350&tstart=0
As for repairing your Firewire ports, make sure you have a current clock battery. That's a simple 3.6V 1/2 AA battery from Radio Shack, catalog item 23-026. That may fix it. If it doesn't you can sometimes take a can of compressed air to the ports themselves. If that doesn't work, do as scb suggests. Make sure they are 6 pin firewire, and not 4 pin.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ should list some Firewire PCI cards which support Target Disk Mode. Google is your friend!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Connecting your MacBook Pro and your MacBook Air will be the fastest way, but you have to spend money on cables and adapters (also, your MacBook Pro doesn't support Thunderbolt).
As you have a Time Capsule, one thing you can do is to start your MacBook Pro and make a Time Machine backup. Then, turn on your MacBook Air and set it up. Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so select the option to restore the backup from the Time Capsule and be patient. This can take a lot of time if you have to migrate a lot of files

The verification lists my card data and address etc. correctly but I need to keep entering the card security number. Support keep telling me to delete and re-enter my car info which does not help. Anyone else seen this issue? Seems to be something to do

Seems to be something to do with a new security check they have put in the system that does not work correctly and support is totally incapable of helping me out.
wth am i gonna do im feed up and on top i have no one to help me been calling itunes for days now im ****** off to the maxxx

I've been jumping through the hoops with Apple Support on this issue....first time I called they said I should try updating from IOS 4.0 to 4.1....tried that and the issue still persisted...then I called back to update the ticket and get the next steps...they said that the Bank is rejecting the request for verification and that is why it keeps prompting (which doesn't make sense since the confirmation seems to go through successfully). The rep also contacted the iTunes dept and had them run the verify manually and said the bank rejected it. The next hoop they want me to jump through is calling the bank to verify that the account is in good standing and inquire about the rejected requests. I'm fairly certain the bank account is in good standing....will verify of course....but I find it hard to believe that all the people who have posted here, plus countless others that are experiencing the same issue but haven't, are ALL having banking issues in the last 24hrs...I'm more convinced there is a disconnect on the back end between iTunes and Financial institutions...
I'm not sure I buy in to everything I was told...he also told me he has had several calls on this issue and they were all told to check with their banks. He could not verify that any of his past calls were resolved. Needless to say I'm not 100% believing everything he told me....weak response from Apple support on this issue so far.

When I try to enter codes for digital movie downloads it tells me "code redemption is temporarily unavailable. Try again later." Customer support has been no help. Anyone else have this problem?

Am sick of going back and forth with what has turned out to be worthless customer support. Have sent them so much info and pictures, no help. All they do is send me links for instructions on how to redeem the codes. I know how to redeem, I have redeemed at least 50 codes. To them I am obviously an idiot though. To me it seems to be a problem on their end, but can't get an answer from them on why it is telling me code redemption is unavailable. Please help! Anybody!

Confirming my suspicions with every passing hour. Support on this forum is non-existent like the support from Apple support. But, you got my money now... why would you care?

Please help if anyone can!!!

I have multiple issues. first, i have a problem on iteration. i am given
(x,f(x)) and (x + d, f( x + d)), where x ranges from Xmin to Xmax and d = (Xmax - Xmin)/100. Draw the curve f(x) = X^3/100 - x + 10, where x ranges from -10 to 10 in this fashion. And am asked to draw a hundred line segments joining those points.
I have already figured that the distance d = 10-(-10)/100 which is equal to 0.2. Since i am told to draw 100 line segments, i figured that increasing -10 by .2 will take 100 iterations to get to 10.
Now my question is how do i use a "for" loop to represent the above statement. I have tried couple of them, but it doesn't seem right. example of the one i tried is:
let x = 10
for(i = -10; i < x; i++). I know this is wrong. Please help if anyone can. I will really appreciate and thanks in advance.

double d = 0.2;
This is how far i have gotten. Now i don't know how to set up my 'for' loop for the x values. That is, how can i state that from -10 with an increment of 0.2 will take 100 iterations to get to 10. I hope am not confusing you. Below is the question

As has always been the case, you cannot go back.
Sorry

Cannot create new folders on desktop. Cannot drag new items onto desktop. Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal. Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas. Thank you.

I can no longer create new folders on my desktop. The option to do that is now light gray on the drop down menu and can't be selected.
I cannot drag new items onto desktop any longer either.
The Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal.
Folders and items on Desktop open and work normally.
Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas.
Thank you.

Take these steps if the cursor changes from an arrow to a white "prohibited" symbol when you try to move an icon on the Desktop.
Sometimes the problem may be solved just by logging out or rebooting. Try that first, if you haven't already done it. Otherwise, continue.
Select the icon of your home folder (a house) in the sidebar of a Finder window and open it. The Desktop folder is one of the subfolders. Select it and open the Info window. In the General section of the window, the Kind will be either Folder or something else, such as Anything.
If the Kind is Folder, uncheck the box marked Locked. Close the Info window and test.
If the Kind is not Folder, make sure the Locked box is not checked and that you have Read & Write privileges in the Sharing & Permissions section. Then close the Info window and do as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo Desktop
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”). Quit Terminal.
Relaunch the Finder.
If the problem is now resolved, and if you use iPhoto, continue.
Quit iPhoto if it's running. Launch it while holding down the option key. It will prompt you to select a library. Choose the one you want to use (not the Desktop folder.)

I've got HPePrint App on my ipad, when I touch the photos icon the App closes, HP can't help, has anyone got an ideas for a solution?

Yes, you should get an email if somebody replies to a thread you started or one to which you posted. I did; that's how I knew you had replied. Check up at the top of the right column of this thread. In the "Actions" box you should find "Stop email notifications" if you are subscribed to this thread.
One step you didn't list among HP's suggestions is a compound action: delete the app, reset the iPad (by holding down the home and start buttons together for ten seconds), then reinstall the app and test it. If it still falls over, I would say the HP app has not kept up with iOS changes and needs updating -- OR your iPad has developed some persistent internal corruption in its photo storage that only the HP app trips over (in which case, the app still needs updating, but it's going to be much harder for HP to determine how).

System Migration Check up

Hi Friends,
We have planned to migrated our Production systems to a different hardware. Operating system and Database remains the same. Does SAP provides any Check on the system after this homogenous system migration ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vimal

Hi,
If you have got Enterprise Support from SAP, you are eligible to get some feedback on the migration process and post migration tuning. For this you may need to raise an OSS message to SAP support.
Hope this helps.

System Migration Agent

Hi,
I updated recently with system update and shortly after the system migration agent box started having a canary. At random albeit regular (2 out of three times) when I click on a desktop icon or try to perform a funtion like delete on an item the system migration box appears and starts having a coronary. Is there anybody with a fix for this.
Thanksing you in advance for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Removed the system migration agent. It seems the last update of thinkw vantage software has corrupted a couple fo its component parts and I have had to remove them.
