Target Mode with multiple partitions??? Also file sharing

I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to my older G4 using a firewire cable. My G4 has 2 hard drives, and one is divided in to 2 partitions. When I restart my G4 in target mode only the drive that is my start-up disk shows up.
Is there any way around this?
I've thought about just connecting my computers through file sharing but it only lets me share files in my public drive. Is there a way to share all of my files?
Thanks,
Justin

Emailing you now...
Lets say the Username on Machine#1 is jk1, Username on Machine #2 is jk2, and is an admin on #2...
Then from Machine#1 use Go>Network, type in the name of Machine #2, (use the actual IP if the name can't find it), it should come up with the Dialog box with jk1 filled in for the name and asking for the password... but you have to change the name to jk2, (the one with permissions on Machine #2 to see everything), then type in the password of jk2.
The only thing I can see why this wouldn't work for you is if Machine #1 can't find #2, or Permissions need Fixing on #2.

  • FireWire Target mode and multiple partitions or volumes

    Hello,
    If I take my laptop and split it into two partitions, then put it in FW mode and attach it to another mac, with both volumes mount, or just the first one as laid out on the disk?
    Let's say only the first volume mounts, can I put files there, and then install Leopard on the 2nd partition and have Leopard boot ok or does it need to be on the first partition??
    Thanks

    Both partitions will appear. Both can be made bootable.

  • Is it possible to start a MacBookPro in target mode with a MacBookAir?

    Is it possible to start a MacBookPro in target mode with a MacBookAir?
    I have a MacBookPro and I would like to start it in a target mode using a MacBookAir as a disk cible,
    is it possible to do it?  Which cale or adapter do I need to do it?

    Yes, you can use Target Disk Mode with a suitable adapter:
    OS X Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
    To determine the cable you need requires you describe which MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models you have. The latest ones have Thunderbolt ports, for which you can use a Thunderbolt cable. If the MacBook Pro has only a FireWire port, you can use a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter. Early MacBook Air models have neither.

  • Installing Lion clean on hard drive with multiple partitions

    I have a spring 2008 24" iMac running Snow Leopard.
    I am about to put a new 2TB hard drive in it and after I do that I want to do a clean install of Lion on it.
    I do not want to upgrade my Snow Leopard install to Lion. I will keep it on my back up drive as a fallback incase of serious workflow incompatiblities with the new OS.
    For my workflow I create and use multiple partitions (Mac OS,  Windows and multiple HFS+ for data) on my hard drive and I have seen that Lion creates it's own hidden recovery partition as well for the recovery functionality.
    My questions are:
    1) Will I have issues running Lion on a partition on a hard drive with multiple partitions that have different file systems?
    2) If I install Lion into one of these partitions will it create it's recovery partition within the space of the partition it is being installed into?
    3) I will be creating a clean install by downloading Lion using the App Store and then burning an installer DVD using instructions I found elsewhere and then using that to do the install on the new drive. Is that the best route to take?
    All my current data I will have on a backup external hard drive and after I complete the Lion install on the new larger drive I will manually reinstall all my software and move my data back from my backup drive to the new drive one partition at a time except of course for OS partition. I keep all my real user data outside of that partition anyway.

    I believe this article answers most of your questions.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    or possibly
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4649
    You will most likely run into the error message that "Some features of Mac OS X Lion are not supported for the disk" if you have multiple partitions set up, especially if they were not set up using Bootcamp and/or have serveral different file systems.
    You can confirm that the Recovery Partition will not be installed by checking Disk Utility for your current partition map scheme.
    This is most definitely not the end of the world as it is quite easy to create an external Recovery disk.
    1) No, you shouldn't have issues running Lion, but Recovery HD will not be created.
    2) No, and in your case it doesn't sound like it will be installed on your internal drive at all.
    3) Yes. If you begin with an empty partition, then install Lion that would be considered a clean install.
    Hope that helps.

  • Backup to AirDisk with Multiple Partitions Using Time Machine?

    Hello All,
    I've seen some discussion on the net that suggests it is possible to have one USB drive with multiple partitions connected to an Airport Extreme so that Time Machine can be used to back up several machines to different partitions of that drive. I've got the drive partitioned and attached to the AE. I can see the partitions through Finder but Time Machine does not see anything. Can anyone clarify for me what I need to do in order for TM to see those partitions?
    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    Thanks so much for the reference! Merely reformatting the partitions as indicated in the link did the trick. I did not need to use the command line call to get the drives to appear. A key first step after partitioning seems to be opening a Finder window, clicking on the Airport Express shared volume and then clicking on each partition you want to be able to access. This seems to register each partition. Only then are the partitions available to Time Machine.

  • Will there performance improvement over separate tables vs single table with multiple partitions?

    Will there performance improvement over separate tables vs single table with multiple partitions? Is advisable to have separate tables than having a single big table with partitions? Can we expect same performance having single big table with partitions? What is the recommendation approach in HANA?

    Suren,
    first off a friendly reminder: SCN is a public forum and for you as an SAP employee there are multiple internal forums/communities/JAM groups available. You may want to consider this.
    Concerning your question:
    You didn't tell us what you want to do with your table or your set of tables.
    As tables are not only storage units but usually bear semantics - read: if data is stored in one table it means something else than the same data in a different table - partitioned tables cannot simply be substituted by multiple tables.
    Looked at it on a storage technology level, table partitions are practically the same as tables. Each partition has got its own delta store & can be loaded and displaced to/from memory independent from the others.
    Generally speaking there shouldn't be too many performance differences between a partitioned table and multiple tables.
    However, when dealing with partitioned tables, the additional step of determining the partition to work on is always required. If computing the result of the partitioning function takes a major share in your total runtime (which is unlikely) then partitioned tables could have a negative performance impact.
    Having said this: as with all performance related questions, to get a conclusive answer you need to measure the times required for both alternatives.

  • Saving spool request with multiple Adobe PDF files to local directory

    Hi,
    I have a spool file with multiple Adobe PDF files in it.  You can only save the spool content to local directory by opening and save each PDF files.  Does anyone know whether there is a way to combine all the PDF files within a spool into one big PDF file?

  • IMac DV 450 Target Mode With Vista....?

    after my imac died, i was told i could recover the data using target mode..
    anyway i dont have another mac to load it with, so am trying to use my vista laptop.
    came across an app called HFSExplorer which should allow me to view the contents of the mac once in target mode... (as the drive doesnt show up in my computer as standard)
    anyway, problem is - even with the HFSExplorer app, it doesnt see the mac...
    there are a good few things i could do with rescuing from the drive, so any ideas?
    cheers

    I don;t think that can work. You need to start the Mac in FireWire Target Disk mode and have it connected to the other computer with a FireWire cable. Sounds like you imac won't start.
    Probably the easiest way to look at the files from a PC is to pull the drive from the iMac and use a gadget like this:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/U2NV2SPATA/
    to connect the bare drive to your notebook. Remember, not all files will be readable on the PC. MS Office files should be no problem, but files from a Mac-only application may not be directly readable.

  • Failure when FWSM in transparent mode with multiple contexts

    hi experts,
                We have two FWSMs working in active/standby state,  configured with multiple contexts in transparent mode. and the "outside" and "inside" interfaces for each context are in same subnet. 
                Now we have one FWSM broken and the RMA part can't arrived in short time, so  we have the risk that the sencond FWSM could be failed as well.   In the worst case if the two was broken or powered off simultaneously,   i wonder that if the communications between multiple contexts could be ok???
    thanks in advance.

  • Problems with IPhone 5 and File Sharing with ITunes

    I am using an app that let's you create ringtones. Once created you are supposed to be able to see the songs in the file sharing part of the apps tab on IPhone device on ITunes. However, I can't scroll down to see my files. I can see the part that says apps that allow file sharing, but if I click and arrow down it only moves on the left part of the screen and changes the device to Genesis. I recently purchased a Mac, and this is the first time I am using ITunes with Mac and have this problem.

  • Time Machine doesn't like external drives with multiple partitions

    I've had a problem with Time Machine on both 10.5.0 & 10.5.1 - Time Machine could not create the initial backup regardless of all the things I tried.
    I have a Powerbook with a 300Gb Maxtor connected via firewire 800. This drive had been partitioned into three partitions (which I've used with other backup tools without problem).
    Apparently the problem I had been having with Time Machine was that there were three separate partitions on the external drive. As soon as I took a chance and wiped all of those partitions and made a single partition, everything was fine.
    I had called Apple Tech Support shortly after I got Leopard and when I discovered the problem with Time Machine. I specifically asked if there would be a problem from the multiple partitions and they didn't think there would be, but they were sure. Looks like Apple was wrong.
    If you are having problems with Time Machine with a drive that has multiple partitions, trying changing your external into a single partition drive.

    You will note that I was referring to a Powerbook and the Apple Partition Scheme. There might be something different happening for Intel/GUID users.
    10.5.1 did address other issues with other partition types. Time Machine seems to have trouble with certain partition schemes. I'm not surprised that multiple partitions and GUID works because of things like bootcamp. Apple probably tested specifically for that type of config. They may not have worked all the bugs out of multiple partitions on a Apple Partition Scheme.

  • JDeveloper 10.1.3 Bug With Multiple JSF Config Files?

    There seems to be a problem with JDeveloper 10.1.3 when you have multiple JSF configuration files. I have three configuration files created for a JSF application. One file contains navigation cases, a second file contains the managed beans, and a third file consists of the regular faces-config.xml file.
    When you are working with a backing bean in JDeveloper, it seems to have a nasty habbit of sticking a "new" managed bean definition for the backing bean you are working on in the faces-config.xml file.

    Good point. We'll try to address this in the production release of 10.1.3.
    Thanks,

  • Trying to setup 1131 in autonomous mode with multiple ssids and vlans

    hi there,
    I'm trying to setup an aironet 1131 in autonomous mode with a WLAN for each VLAN.
    I can connect to the SSID "BLUGstaff" but I don't pick up a DHCP address and when I set a static IP I can't anything on the vlan so I can only assume I have made an error.
    I have attached the config for the access point.
    The switch port the access point connects to has the following config...
    interface FastEthernet1/0/3
    description ## Access Point ##
    switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
    switchport trunk native vlan 121
    switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,121-124
    switchport mode trunk
    spanning-tree portfast
    end
    Can anyone explain what I've done wrong? Thanks in advance for any help,
    Huw

    Hello Huw,
    as i see in your confirguartion.
    native VLAN is 121. so you have to correct following in your AP configuration
    1) interface Dot11Radio0.121
    encapsulation dot1Q 121 native
    bridge-group 121         ->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> change this to brige-group 1 , native always tied to bridge group 1
    2)
    interface FastEthernet0.121
    encapsulation dot1Q 121
    add also under this sub interface
    bridge-group 1
    please let me know how it goes.
    Kind regards

  • Target Mode with PCMCIA Firewire Card??

    Just bought a 17" PowerBook. Planned to use migration tool to move data and info from my old 15" TiBook. BUT!! My TiBook's internal Firewire port fried a couple of years ago and I've been using a PCMCIA Firewire card. Can you access Target Mode through an external Firewire card?? Doesn't seem so.
    When I boot with "T", it comes up in target mode, but migration tool doesn't recognize the target mode machine thru pcmcia firewire.
    Any solution?
    Jim

    If you are able to mount an external FW drive on your Ti's desktop using the PCMCIA adapter, then perhaps you can clone your TiBook's HD to the external and then use the external as a source drive for Migration Assistant. (You are able to use a bootable clone on an external FW drive as a source for Migration Assistant, in any case.)
    Good luck!
