Tranferring data between Mac

I need help in connecting and transferring data (mostly photos) from my old PowerPC 6400/180 to my newer 24" iMac. The 6400 has been upgraded with a G3 processor and runs on OS 9.1. The iMac is running OS 10.4.10. I think I may have a faulty ethernet card on the PowerPC, so I've been trying unsuccessfully to connect it to my router with either a LinkSys USB Network Adaptor(EtherFast 10/100) or a D-Link Wireless USB Adaptor(DWL-122). I'm afraid the USB devices may not be supported or have the necessary drivers to be used on the older PowerPC. My USB memory stick will not work either.

With a recent iMac, you should be able to connect it directly to another Mac (even an older one) using a standard Ethernet cable. Of course, if the Ethernet port on the 6400 is broken, it will not work. But you should try it. Make sure file sharing is turned ON on the 6400. I would use the iMac to look for and connect to the 6400. If it doesn't show up by "browsing," try putting the IP address that is shown in the 6400's TCP/IP control panel into the
Finder>menu>Go>Connect to Server...
window on the iMac, in the field "Server Address:".
If Ethernet does not work... Do you have a .Mac account with Apple? The online storage was recently upgraded to 10GB. Other services (such as your ISP) may also provide online storage. There is a program called Goliath that
http://www.webdav.org/goliath/
that allows access to online storage under the classic Mac OS. If you have such a resource, you could transfer the files there from the 6400 and copy them down from the iMac.
Actually, if your Ethernet does not work, you may not have Internet access (unless you use a modem and dial up). I suppose you could buy a cheap external FireWire or USB (or some have both) case and drop in the hard drive from the 6400 (I think 6400's have IDE drives). Then connect it to the iMac.

There is something incompatible would be my guess. Did you disconnect all your peripherals in safe mode just to check?
You might now create a new temporary user account. Log into the new account. Do the panics still occur?
I would also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. Sometimes they can be difficult to track down. Looking at each new panic log would help determine if it's cause is associated with the same extensions.

Transfering data between mac's

Hi,
I have an iMac & a macbook.
How do I transfer a lot of data between the 2?
I take it I buy a firewire to firewire cable.
How do I then go about transfering data.
Many Thanks,
Jeff

How do I then go about transfering data.
Connect them and start up one Mac with the T key held down. You can also use file sharing over a FireWire, Ethernet, or wireless connection.

Transferring Data Between Mac & PC

Hi! I've been a PC user all this while and I just got my very first Mac.
I'm wondering if there is a way to share data between my employer's PC and my personal Mac using my external backup drive. The HDD I currently have is formatted in NTFS and it does not allow me to transfer data from my Mac.
I do a lot of work at home and while I'm overseas and I need to read/ write from both computers very regularly.
Please help.

I'm looking to switch from a PC to a Mac, and all of my data is on two external NTFS hard drives.
Am I ok using NTFS-3g and keeping my drives formatted NTFS indefinitely, or should buy a new drive, format it FAT32, and move all the data to it?

hello bhi,
you want a connector for R/3 that runs in java?
if it is, you case use SAP JCo. I don't have any
idea however, if this connector could connect
ProjectServer and R/3.

Moving data between Macs

I have a lot of data that I'd like to move from an iMac to a MacBook. Would the best way be to ethernet them together and drag the directory from one to the other?

Transfering files across a newtork could be the easiest way.
There is also target disk mode which allows you to use one of your macs as a external hard drive of sorts.

Tranferring data to MAC Lion OSX

any ideas on how to accomplish this since there is no Palm software for Lion OSX? Can raw data be extracted from my Tungsten E2 and be manipulated into existing MAC programs (i.e. calendars, address book, etc.)?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

You can try the export option in Palm Desktop and see if the formats avail. are valid for MAC apps. I am not that familiar with the MAC but here is an article that may help. It states in the article to look into the sync solutions from Markspace for Lion 10.6.

High CPU when tranferring data between VLANs on the same subinterface

Hi
i have Cisco 2821 with 2 subinterfaces on the G0/0, with 2 different VLANs on them.
When i copy about 60 Mb/s between them, the CPU usage increase to 80-90 %, and start to drop the packets.
The CEF is on on all those subinterfaces.
Any recommendations ?
many thanks

Recommendation? Yes, you may need a faster router. At 60 Mbps, you might be bumping into the capacity limitations of the 2821.

Want to share application data between Mac's on home network.

Hello,
We currently have one iMac at home and I would like to start using separate logins for different family members, but I want to be able to share applications (Mail, Address Book, ICal, iPhoto, etc.) across accounts. Can it be done? I would hate to have to set up all the email account information again or have duplicate copies of the large iPhoto library. Or two separate versions of address book and iCal.
This issue is also the #1 reason why I hesitate to purchase another iMac or MacBook for our house. I want to be able to be sitting downstairs on the MacBook and access the, for example iCal and not have to run 2 different versions and worry about synching them.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad.

Hi Brad, OSX is setup to keep all this account info seperate, but on iPhoto for example, you can...
Move iPhoto libray...

Synchronization between Mac and iPhone using sync services framework

Hi,
I want to sync custom data between Mac app and iPhone app. In the first stage it would be sufficient to sync all data from Mac to iPhone, but I want to use sync services framework to make it extensible (just updating new data, syncing from iPhone to Mac, ...).
Are there any documents, reports, articles, examples, tutorials, books or anything where is described how to implement this?

No

~/Home/Library folder that may be incompatible?
Yes, big time. Mail, for sure, has a different file/folder structure, and would not be happy.
Plus, a number of apps (Apple and 3rd-party) are "Sandboxed." That's a security feature, to prevent malware or bad coding from affecting things it shouldn't. Some of their files, including the preferences files, aren't even stored in the same places!
Or to other places I'm not aware of?
Probably. If you have two versions of the same app, they may or may not expect the same data setup.
To have one User folder for both OS's would save a lot of drive space
Not if you use some or all of woodmeister50's suggestions.
But I'm also not sure how I'd use Time machine with such a set up.
Just as you do now. By default, Time Machine backs-up everything (except things like system work files, most caches and logs, trash) for all users and all internal drives & partitions. By default, it excludes external drives.
You can change those defaults, of course, via TM Preferences > Options.
See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #32 for details and considerations of multiple drives.
Presently I backup with . . . clones to other HD's
Good. Yes, clones are different. You need multiple "tasks" to back up multiple drives/partitions. But once set up, that shouldn't be a big deal.

Can't find data after transfer between macs using migration assistant

I wanted to transfer data between my Macbook air using Mountain lion and a MacBook pro using Mavericks. I did it using migration assistant through Wi-Fi. The process was completed without problems but I can't find the data on the MacBook pro!
It was my pictures folder, about 50Go and I can't find it anywhere on the new computer. It should be easy since there is almost nothing on there at the moment. It is a new install.
The disk utility tells me that I have now an extra 50Go of space used, so it must have been transferred...
Any idea?
Thanks

I found my data in the shared folder. Not all of it was there and in the end a nice lady from Apple told me to start again from the beginning and delete the mess the import program created
I am still a bit confused over the red circles but make sure you are in the right account when trying to see the data as I dont think even as admin I could see the main user account (I had 5 for the family).
There is a button under the get info tab that can change some of the permissions
Frustrating isnt it

Slow Data Transfer Speeds Between Macs.

Hello Can anyone please help?
When I transfer data between my MacBook and iMac it is taking ages and never used to be this slow a couple of months ago.
A 1 GB file is taking 2 hours. I am using an Airport Extreme 802.11n router on 5GHZ Wide Channel and when I check my connection using Network Utility it says 270 MBit/s.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Shaun

I am having a very similar issue. I am copying iTunes music to a USB flash drive formatted to FAT32. It is very slow - not as slow as you have indicated, but still very slow. Someone mentioned it could be Spotlight indexing the USB drive. I am going to turn indexing off and try again - although it is taking a long time just to stop the current copy that I had in progress.

My home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2.

my home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2, even during watching a movie. I go to the mac to re-turn on home sharing but it is still on. Any tips? I also have to turn off and back on at the mac every time i switch on my apple tv.

Sharing Stopped working again over night.
I went to Apple Support Artical TS2972
As soon as I did this Home Sharing started working
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
Firewall Section
5. Check Firewall Settings
If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
Block all incoming connections
Allow only essential services
If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
It made sense to me, but its still puzzling me after restarting a router would (in my first attempt) resolve the issue for a day. This this time I applied the port forwarding TCP and UDP ports and saved the settings in the DLink DIR-655 and both my iPad2 and iPhone 3GS were now again finding the share. My ATV2 is also now accepting the Share.
Tommorrow will be the true test.
