Transferring from Tangerine Clamshell to iBook G3 - confused

Try as I might the information re: firewire and non- firewire hardware, crossover cable or ethernet cable, and Migration Assistant has me baffled. Here's what I need to do:
Transfer documents, mail settings, emails and mailboxes, iTunes library, browser settings & bookmarks, etc from a clamshell (no firewire) running 10.3.9 to an iBook G3 (with firewire) running 10.4.6.
I can't make out whether to use Migration Assistant because it's not the first time the iBook is being used (I travel with it but it's going to my son who owns the clamshell). Or whether to use crossover cables? I'm pretty sure a plain ethernet cable wouldn't do, would it?
Can anybody provide me with step-by-step?
I'd be mighty beholden. . .
eMac G4, iBook 600 mgz, 10.4.6, Mac OS X (10.4.6) Tangerine Clam 10.3.9
eMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Connect the two machines with any Ethernet cable; the newer iBook G3 can use either Ethernet cable for this purpose, and if either machine can use either kind of cable for that purpose, you can use either cable. Enable File Sharing on the tangerine iBook from the Sharing pane of System Preferences, and then log into it from the newer iBook; you will need to know the tangerine's IP address, which can be found in the Network pane of System Preferences. To connect to a server, use the Finder's Connect to Server command, entering the IP address followed by the username and password of an administrator account on the other machine.
Once you have the whole disk mounted, locate your home folder on the other computer and copy individual files into the home folder on your current machine. If you want to copy the entire home folder, rename your current home folder in the Finder before beginning the copy.

Books transferred from Itunes to Ibooks loses author and category information.

How can I get author and category information for pdfs to transfer from itunes into the ibooks app on Mavericks? I just transferred my book collection from itunes to the ibooks app and have lost all the author and category information that I entered on all my pdfs. Do I now have to re establish this info in ibooks app? Ibooks doesn't appear to allow for creation of new categories or editing of author's name when it assigned unknown to all my pdfs. My book library appears to have been seriously downgraded by this "upgraded" os.

totally agree with you. Exactly the same here.
you can't re-establish this info in iBooks because it doesn't allow you to do it. No editing and organising at all (except from moving into a section of your choice).
In addition to no editing/changing, no backup/restore, no books/pdf location settings (all placed in user-library), etc. ... simply a complete disaster.
For me a killer-criteria to use OSX Mavericks! That forces me to move back to OS X mountain lion!
What did the Apple iBooks dev team think when creating this application? Come on this can't be true!

Getting data transfered from old HD to new ones, leaving 2 slots filled . .

Hello,
*(Below is a thread I started in another forum, but, didn't get my final questions answered (see at bottom of this post in BOLD), and am hoping for further help and suggestions. I know there is a lot to read here, but, I think this information will help other novices, such as myself. Thanks!)*
I have 2 new HDs (each 1T) uninstalled, and I have my old HD (160 gigs) currently residing in one of the two slots in my G5. Any ideas on the best way/process to get the data transfered from the old HD to the new ones, leaving my two slots filled with the 2 new drives AND my data from the old HD transfered and intact, with a RAID0 setup?
OR, are there any other suggestions on a good setup with the 2 new HDs??
I'm open to suggestions.
I always back-up on external HDs, so, is their a need for me to worry about setting up a RAID0??
I'm doing video processing for DVD release.
Should I just max out the 2x1T gig HDs and not worry about a HD failure??
All Suggestions welcomed!!
Thanks, Jack
*FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
You are limited with only 2 drive slots. In this scenario what usually works best is a small fast drive (eg Velocirapter or SSD) for OSX/Applications and a large drive for video files. It is not advisable to have the operating system running from a striped array.
Since you already have the drives, here is what you can do.
Install one new drive and format the partition you wish to use for OSX. You may not want to use the whole drive for OSX, so make 2 partitions. Be sure that it is GPT-formatted so it can boot.
Use CarbonCopy Cloner to copy your current OSX partition to the new one.
Set the startup disk as the new partition.
Remove the old drive and replace it with the second new one.
Reboot, and partition/format new drive.
*Hey Cutterman,*
Thanks for the advice. That sounds like a good set-up. I'll have to research the process of doing what you've advised, but, should work out ok:
A. Install one new drive and format the partition you wish to use for OSX. You may not want to use the whole drive for OSX, so make 2 partitions:
1. Partitions are done under Disc Utilities correct? Never done it before; will take a look.
B. Be sure that it is GPT-formatted so it can boot.
2. GPT is also done under Disc Utilities, correct? Here I start to get a bit confused, as I've formatted Extended Journal, SO, the partition with the OSX & Applications is formatted GPT, and the rest of the HD is formatted as Extended Journal?
C. Use CarbonCopy Cloner to copy your current OSX partition to the new one.
3. So, I partition the first new HD and use Carbon Copy Cloner (also under Disc Utilities) to copy the OSX & Applications from my original HD to the first new HD, correct?
D. Set the startup disk as the new partition.
4. This will be an option when I setup the partition???
E. Remove the old drive and replace it with the second new one.
F. Reboot, and partition/format new drive.
5. QUESTION: So, you recommend not striping the HDs: If I do a RAID 1, which sets up a mirror of the HDs, and since the first new HD is partitioned with the OSX & Applications, AND is set up as the Startup Disk, then the second new HD will also mirror that?? Another QUESTION: Even if the second new HD does not mirror the OSX & Applications, the second HD will only mirror the space/partition not utilized by the OSX & Applications partition, correct?
Thanks for your help!!
Jack
*FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
OK I will try to answer your questions. To begin, if you want to mirror the 2 drives then you will need to boot from the SL install DVD or an external (USB/firewire) drive to set it up. IMO for your purposes it is too much hassle and a waste of HD space.
1) Yes partitions are created in Disk Utility
2) Yes, you choose a volume Scheme (ie number of partitions) and size them by dragging the separator bar. Then select the planned boot partition and click Options..., then choose GPT. I think it is usually the default but check and make sure. Extended journaled is the usual format.
3) You need to download Carbon Copy. It is a free tool that will copy the entire image of your current system partition to the new one and make it bootable. Consider making a donation as it is a very useful and frequently updated utility. It is fairly intuitive to use. You can also use the restore feature in Disk Utility but I have had more experience with Carbon Copy.
4) Once the copy process is finished the new boot partition will show up under the startup disk selections (this tool is in System Preferences).
*FROM 666Sheep:*
If may i correct one thing: OP, don't choose GPT (GUID Partition Table). You got PPC Mac (G5), so valid partition type for you is Apple Partition Map (APM).
GPT is for Intel Macs and you will not able to boot from this kind of partition.
*FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
Thanks for the correction- my bad. No familiarity with non-Intel Macs.

*Hi All,*
*Since this process will come to a head on Tuesday/Wednesday, and I hope to be successful in transferring Old HD data to new HD/s.*
*A: I'm still a little foggy here, as I thought I'd set up the 2 new T-gig HDs so that if one of them failed, I'd still have the data backed up on the other HD; more ideas concerning this would be reassuring:*
*WHAT DOES "IMO" mean?*
*(IMO for your purposes it is too much hassle and a waste of HD space.)*
*As I understand the points made: After I partition the first new HD, and Carbon Copy data from old HD, I then install second new HD, and this will just act as an overflow from the first partitioned HD, correct? Because, if set up a Raid1/Mirror, the OSX partitioned portion of the first new HD will not copy to the second new HD, and that space on the second new HD will be wasted, correct?*
*Also: I have to set up RAID1 (if I do not set up RAID0), correct?*
*RAID 1*
*From WIKI: RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the disks, making a form of 1:1 ratio real time mirroring. The contents of each disk in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array. A RAID 1 array requires a minimum of two drives.*
*Carbon Copy is a free tool that will copy the entire image of your current system partition to the new one and make it bootable.*
*1. Is my old HD partitioned? Is that done automatically by MAC prior to PC purchase?*
*2. Do I Carbon Copy the whole old HD or just parts? (eg. OSX, Photo Shop, After Effects, Various Files)*
*3. I read that it is necessary to DEACTIVATE Photo Shop (I have CS3) prior to doing Carbon Copy. Is that correct? If so, does this also apply to other Adobe applications? Such as After Affects, Illustrator??*
*Thanks to all for the help!!*

Confusing Information:
A1: You also want to make sure the drive you are backing up to is formatted Mac HFS Extended (HFS+) if using Mac OS 8.1 or above.
A2: On PowerPC Macs, your clone should be partitioned as Apple Partition Map.
*Q? I thought the new HD (1T) should be formatted in Extended Journaled?*
B: Also disable Spotlight (in 10.4 only) on your destination drive using Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy to add the destination drive to the pane.
*Q? I'm using 10.4.11, so, I should follow these instructions?*
C: If possible, boot into safe mode to perform the backup (holding the SHIFT key at startup). In addition, you can clone while logged into another administrative user that you don't use at all to avoid further complications of changes which may be happening to your regular user (though don't use Fast User Switching to get into that other user, since that other user is still active when fast user switching is used). Otherwise you are going to be running a backup on a live system which could have changes happening while you are attempting to backup. These may yield an imperfect clone, with uncertain success at recovery. It may be possible that your clone will have its own hardware issues, so make at least two copies.

Opening PDFs from gMail account in iBooks

I've previously opened PDFs from gMail messages using iBooks but today, for some unknown reason, I cannot open any new PDF file attachment larger than 200k.
iPod Touch 8GB (2nd generation) using iOS4.1- Still have 5.7GB available so I'm not sure why certain size files won't open.
I've even tried using Safari w/ gMail account - In both cases, as soon as I try to open the PDF attachments w/ iBooks, the display drops out without transferring to Ibooks as it used to do.
Message was edited by: MacNoob0909

Tried resetting - No joy.
When I tried to open the attachment w/ "iBooks", the iPod switched to iBooks and an "Untitled" file showed on the bookshelf momentarily then the display dropped out and returned to the "Home" screen. No joy there.
Even tried opening w/ "Quick Look" - Again, no joy. Just a dropout and back to the "Home" screen.
Looks like I may have to do a total reset - Now iBooks loads w/ "Untitled" file displaying and then the display drops w/ a return to the home screen - In the process of total reset as I write this - Will update after I do a restore. - Its going to take at least 2 hours for reset/restore operation.

Song transferred from old account suddenly no longer plays after years of having no issues

A song I transferred from an old apple account years ago stopped working today and to play it in itunes, I am immediately prompted to log into my old account which is no longer active because I deleted the email address that was linked to the account. How do I retrieve the song? It is no longer available for purchase on itunes.

Apple responded:

Hello there,
We have heard about your issue from the discussion thread below:

We would like to know if you would be able to provide the following:
- What is the title of your book?
Thank you,

Which was the same as no response — since they never followed up.
I did provide them with the title of the book, which is:

The customer just emailed me again to find out if I knew why their videos won't play in the iBooks Author eBook — since upgrading to iOS8. She states:
"I was wondering if you ever heard anything about this. My iBook still does not work. Today there was a upgrade this morning for IOS 8.1 which I downloaded and it made no difference for my vimeo on the iBook."

How to view data in SNC after getting transferred from ERP

Hi all
I have transferred material ,vendor, customer ,scheduling agreement ,demand from ERP to SNC system.
Now I want to view this demand in SNC. What I have done is in SNC is I opened supplier view.
In supplier view, I opened SMI monitor. Now when I click on F4 help of product I am not able to view the material
which I had transferred. Same is the case with location.
I know that in SNC, in order to view data following assignment is required.
Material  Location  Business Partner ( Org ) --- > BP ( Person )  User.
Now I have assigned Material to location .
Location to BP ( Org ).
BP ( org ) to BP ( Person ).
BP ( Person ) to user.
But still I am not able to view the data in F4 help ( For SMI overview screen ).
Next I learnt about Selection modes in SNC.I think I need to assign selection mode u201CPDNF_NEWu201D
To application ID of SMI overview screen in order to view Product and location in F4 help.
If I am correct than please let me know how should I proceed. Else please let me know
What all configuration is required to view product and material data in F4 help and eventually the demand which I
Had transferred from ERP.
Best Regards
Rahul

Hi Vasu/ hi Nikhil,
I have done what you mentioned but still could not see the data in SNC Web UI.
Let me explain once again.
Consider a case when Panasonic ( Supplier ) is managing inventory for Walmart ( Customer ).[ VMI scenario ]
Now
Step 1 : Walmart will create Material,Location,SA ,demand in his ERP.
Step2 : Master data with demand will get transferred to from customers ERP system to SNC system.
I can see Product and location by SNC -- > Master data -- > Product/Location.
Till this point everything is fine.
Next I have done following.
Assign my user to Business Partner of type org ( Customer ).
Location is assigned to Business partner.( Customer ) as material will be shiped to customer location.
Location is assigned to model 000
Material is assigned to Location and Planning version 000.
Now logically assignement is as follows.
User -- > BP --> Location --> Material.
Now when I go to customer view ,in product and location,I should be able to see my product and Location.
But I am not able to see.
Could you help where I am going wrong.
Regards
Rahul

If someone could please help me, I would greatly appreciate it !!
Thank you so much,

How did you transfer the photos from your other iPhone? If you did it by importing them from the old phone to a computer and then used iTunes to sync them back to the new phone, then you would delete them by syncing again using iTunes but this time change the selection of which photos are to be synced. Each time you sync using iTunes, it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selection in iTunes.

The Domains.site2 file transferred from another mac won't open in iweb

Just transfered a Domains.site2 file from one mac to another in the applications support/iweb folder. But when I open iweb I get the error: can't read Domains.site2 file. Any thoughts on why this might be? It's a large file - over 2 gigs, transferred from an iMac running OX 10.5 to a macbook running OX 10.6
Thanks!

Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

How Can I copy purchased books from my MAC book iBooks to my iPhone iBoooks

I wasn't sure where to put this because it has to do with my Macbook air and my iPhone 5S and iBooks on both units.
I am using iBooks version 1.01 (281) on my MAC book Air. My OS is OS X version 10.9.4 Mavericks.
About two weeks ago, I upgraded my iPhone 4S to a iPhone 5S (64 gigabyte). I currently have iOS 8.0 on the iPhone.
So, I have lots of books that I have purchased over the years from iTunes and now iBooks. All of them have been backed up to the cloud. They were also backed up to iTunes on my MAC from my 4S.
I tried to download the books from my iCloud to my iBooks on the new 5S and it all worked. But there is one missing book. (Staying Strong by Demi Lovato) I have purchased this book three times from iBooks. All three purchases are still listed in my purchase history there. It is in my MAC book iBooks library (but no longer in iTunes because Apple separated the Apps a while ago). And I can read it there. But it is NOT in the iCloud for some reason.
Everything I find on the Apple site refers to iTunes which is outdated since it is no longer part if iTunes (now it's a separate app). Where can I find information on how to copy the book from my iBooks app library to my iPhone iBooks app so I can read it on my iPhone 5S? Is there a way to even do this? Do I have to buy it agin for the fourth time?
I don't want to go back to that lousy PC?

When I connected my iPhone, it automatically synced right away. I did click on the iPhone button and saw the contents of my iPhone including the Books. When I clicked that 'Books' button. But since the book in question was not on my iPhone, it did not show up in the list so I could not select it like you suggested. Therefore I could not sync that book to my iPhone. Thanks for the help though.
The good news is I did manage to get the book on to my iPhone.
When her book came out for preorder about a year or two ago, I looked for it in the iTunes store and preordered it. About a week after it came out, I found what was basically the same book for a dollar more. ($7.99 and $8.99) I figured there must be something additional (features) in the $8.99 book. So I bought it too. As far as I could tell though, they were exactly the same. So I decided to hide one of them so they would not both show up in my Library. Anyway, I went to my iTunes/iBooks account and managed the hidden books area. I unhid the Demi book and then it showed up in my iCloud to download on my iPhone. Now they are both on my computer so I need to figure out which one is the other one and hide it. So then I can delete it from my computer just have the one that is on my iPhone on both systems. But at least I found a way to get a copy on my iPhone.

I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone. The iPhone only accepts transfers from the original iTunes PC.

I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone 4S. The iPhone will only accept music transfers from the original iTunes PC. I have come to understand that an iPhone can have only one "daddy" iTunes PC, but have not been able to find out how to change the "daddy". I have done a backup of the iPhone, and a "Restore to Original Settings". Then I restored the content using the new iTunes PC. My Apps and contacts, etc. are back on the iPhone, but it still won't accept music from the new iTunes PC.

What happens when you try to sync the iphone to the new computer?

I had an iPhone 4 with all my music on it. Got rid of my desktop when I got an iPad. Now I have iPhone 4S. How do I get my music transferred from old phone to 4s and iPad without a desktop with iTunes on it?

Restore the device from the backup created.
If no backup exists, there is nothing to recover.
