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!

    Hello,
    You need to put the Tiger Install Disc in the 2011 iMac, boot the 2011 uMac into Target mode...

    Boot the G4 holding the Option or alt key, hopefully the Install Disc in the 2011 iMac will show as a boot choice.
    We just want to use the 2011 iMac as a big expensive FW Optical drive, it cannot be installed osing the 2011 iMac itself.

  • 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.
    Search for cables and adapters on Apple's website:

  • 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.

  • PCMCIA firewire card for G4 laptop (follow-up to excessive timecode breaks)

    1.) It was recommended that I get a new firewire bus to resolve excessive timecode breaks when importing from a Canon camcorder to an external hard drive. I've been reading through posts on this topic...and saw getting a new firewire port mentioned a few times... How come when I called Apple to check on the cost of a new firewire card for my laptop Powerbook G4, I was told that nothing could be added without replacing the entire logic board? Am I missing something? I didn't say "PCMCIA firewire drive" - is that something special? Any idea of the cost to purchase and install?
    2.) Apple recommended just capturing to my internal hard drive, and transfering the projects. Apart from this being cumbersome... I need a little verification: if I transfer PROJECT X to my external hard drive, then do I also need to transfer my Audio Render, Autosave,Capture Scratch, Render, Thumbnail, and Waveform folders? [I realize this is basic, but I'm wary of losing the information the project needs and getting it all messed up]

    pcmcia is an card slot. If you have a 12" PB you may not have one.
    If you have a pcmcia slot, buy the card. Slide the card into your computer and start up. Put the camcorder on the card and your fw drive on the port built-in to your computer. Even if this does not solve the timecode issues, it will save you other headaches in the future.
    Question. Does capturing to your internal drive solve the timecode issues you are having?
    I disagree with the advice of capturing to your internal drive and transfering the project after the fact. There are a bunch of reasons why, and all of them are qualified, so I hesitate to go further until I know whether or not capturing to the internal drive is making your timecode headaches go away.
    I suspect capturing to the internal drive will not help the timecode issues which will make the whole point moot. But hopefully I'm wrong :>

    ps
    When you talk to representatives from Apple, you have to be conscious that if they are not specialists in the area you are focused on their advice may be based on general recommendations from an IT or home user perspective. There is a difference between talking to a sales person on the floor of the Apple Store and someone from the Genius Bar. And the person at the Genius Bar may have a tremendous background in network installations, but never have opened FCP. Or you might get lucky and get a FCP savvy genius, who would be a bit weak when talking about some other area.
    This is not a knock, just a reality. It is difficult to be deeply conversant with even one area. It is not realistic for the generalists you usually deal with to know the best answers to very specific questions.
    I'm working toward becoming a certified trainer with FCP and it is not easy or cheap to become an expert at this one application, never mind all the possible applications and hardware combinations for wildly different needs and budgets.

  • 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.

  • Kernel panic with PCMCIA wireless cards.

    UDEV throws a kernel panic when I insert either of two wireless PCMCIA wireless cards.
    UDEV version 106 and the latest kernel 2.6.20.  Both wireless cards worked just fine previously
    so I'm sure it's a problem caused by upgrading. 
    Has anyone else experienced this problem with PCMCIA cards?
    -A

    Seems about rite but my system works foro some time and then at some random point freezes... guess it could be the same issue tho.
    So its out of arch dev hands and needs a kernel update? Am i right to assume that next time kernel updates its the right time to try 20 series again?
    Yeah im drunk, tried to check for typing tho ^^

  • Does Lightroom 5 (CC) support tethering for a Nikon D1x with a Firewire Card on Windows 7?

    Our company wants to use an older, but fully functional, Nikon D1x and tether it to a Windows 7 Workstation with Adobe CC and a FireWire card installed. Will Lightroom 5 recognize the camera and allow us to manage workflow in a tethered setup, complete with photo taking and instant importing?
    Thank you,
    Jim

    Hi Hal,
    Thanks for your response!
    I noticed that this list only shows versions of Lightroom 3 and above. Would a D1x have found compatibility with an older version of Lightroom? If so, might this compatibility be carried forward?
    In either case, what third-party applications might you suggest?
    Thanks a lot,
    Jim

  • Communication with PCMCIA-modem card

    Hi there,
    I have to extend my LabVIEW driven sensor system with a PCMCIA-modem
    card (actually a GSM-card) so that my setup can transmit data
    automatically via GSM under special circumstances.
    Can anyone help me how to communicate with the modem-card and how to use
    the AT-commands in LV?
    Thanks a lot.
    Markus

    If a commercial solution is an option, you might consider contacting some of the
    NI Alliance Members. I know of one that has a product called "ModemNOW!" that
    I've heard good things about. Check out their page on the NI Solutions
    Directory page (sorry for the lengthy URL, the company is named Microsys):

    There are others out there. Another good site is the VI Market one:
    http://vimarket.com/
    I haven't run across any particularly complete or general-purpose examples for
    modem communications internally at NI.

  • SPI communication with PCMCIA 6062E Card. Is it possible?

  • Resource Conflict with PCMCIA Wlan Card on boot process

    - Did switch off the onboard wlan card in win and also with the switch near the onboard wlan.
    - Did flash the newest bios version
    Seems to be that the problem is in the loading process.
    Is it possible to switch off the onboard card in the loading process? Even if I am sure that it must be possible to have both cards installed?
    I am realy looking forward to get some help.
    A pitty that there is no chat.

    No, as far as I know you can disable only the LAN card and not WLan card.
    The WLan card can be disabled in the device manager.
    But did you try to change the BIOS options for the PCMCIA card.
    I dont know what notebook you have but the Toshiba BIOS provide configuration options on the second page.
    If the Device Config is set to All devices you will be able to change the PC card controller mode to: Auto selected, PCIC compatible or CardBus/16bit
    If it does not make any improvements then I assume there is nothing to do

  • Problems with PCMCIA-GPIB card

    Hi all
    I am using a PCMCIA-GPIB with driver version 2.2 on a Windows XP with a PCI-to-PCMCIA Adapter from Ricoh (device manager says: Ricoh R/RL/RT/RC/5C475II,R5C520 or compatible cardbus controller).
    The Win XP detects the card without any problems and there are no resource conflicts.
    However, I cannot communicate with GPIB devices and the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard says:
    1. NI-488.2 Software Presence = verified
    2. GPIB Hardware Presence =
    And then a new screen: "The trouble shooting wizard has detect that no GPIB interfaces are configured on your system"
    Can someone help me? There are no resource conflicts and I have also tried changing the PCI slot. The same problem also occurred when I installed the card in an
    other computer.
    Regards,
    Juan"

    I have tested a RICOH PCMCIA to PCI Adapter card. The PCMCIA to PCI Adapter card was tested using different operating systems (Win2000,XP,98,95) and using a Micron computer PIII 650 processor. When testing under the XP environment, with service pack 1, NI's device drivers Version 1.7 failed to load. (Code 10) Ni's driver version 1.7 was then removed and NI's device driver Version 2.2 was loaded. I did not experience any commutation problem as long as I used the standard NI calls. I did experience a problem with NI’s IBDIAG function call which is not supported under Version 2.2.
    I would recommend that you get the latest service pack for XP and NI’s device driver Version 2.2.

  • Km2m rebooting with installed firewire card problem fixed

    Go to BIOS,  Power management.  Choose IRQ/Event Activity Detect.  Disable Wake Up on PME.

    I installed the drivers before turning on my firewire device, it was plugged into my firewire port but it wasn't turned on, could this have still messed it up? And yes I have went to the multimedia menu and set the FW soundcard and everything seems to be running fine it recognizes it and everything there is just no sound. It may be something very small and dumb I am overlooking, I am going to reinstall the drivers with the device unplugged tonite and see if that helps. Thanks for the help

  • Can I use my iMac's mouse and keyboard on Target mode with my MacBookPro?

    I have my MacBookPro conencted to my iMac via ThunderBolt Cable.
    I want to be able to put my MacBookPro aside and use my iMac's mouse and keyboard.
    Is this possible?

    You'd have to switch the connections after enabling. It's not something I've tried so I don't know if your MBP will
    'see' them when they're already connected to your iMac. Worth a try though.

  • How can I re-activate my creative cloud  with a firewire disc in target mode?

    I am a hurrricane evacuee. I have lost my home to flooding. It will be months before I get my original internet connection back, if ever. I am staying at a friends and they have wifi, but I am not allowed to reboot their router or their modem. I have an old 7 year old mac book pro that won't run all the CS6 apps, and a mac pro 1.1 that will, but does not have wifi. I tried to tether the mac pro to the laptop and share the wifi to re-activate, but the mac pro is not picking up the connection without rebooting the homeowner's cable modem and router, which I am forbidden to do. So I am considering finding some firewire cable somewhere and trying to run the mac pro in firewire target mode, with the mac book pro connected to wifi internet to try to re-activate. Does anyone know if this will work? Also, is there any way to know which day of the month your subscription has to activate? I am going to be shuttling from one couch to another for some time, and if I am lucky enough to drag my mac pro along, I will have to keep doing this.
    Suggestion- Adobe should have a special alternate system for people who lost their internet and homes due to hurricane sandy and do not have wifi machines.

    Hi Kay,
    Sorry to hear about your difficulties on a lot of different levels . I'm inclined to think the target mode will not work because the activation process is reliant on the OS as part of the way it works. I think the target disk mode just treats the secondary system as an external drive - so the activation would be only affect the old mac book pro and not the apps on the target drive. But I could be wrong, it still might be worth testing given the circumstances. The activation process starts on the 11th of every month for your account.
