Trouble networking/sharing with firewire

this is my first day with my new computer and i'm trying to network via firewire to my old G3 CRT(indigo). i can get it to boot up as target, but when i use the new computer to try to access the files, all i get is the rolling colored wheel for hours on end. the old mac hard drive shows on my desktop, but i can't access anything. i've turned on file sharing but other than that, i have no idea what else to do. the older computer is running 9.2.2 and also running 10.2.8. i have tried it with the old computer booted in each OS without any luck. anyone have any ideas what i'm doing wrong?? they swore to me when i bought this new computer that this would work, and i really need it to. i have WAY too much money tied up in apps that i need on my new computer. i'm afraid i'm finding out why i waited this long to upgrade!
iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

Your profile indicates you have an iMac G5 with OS X 10.4.2, but you are posting in the discussion area for the iMac Intel, whose OS X can be no lower than 10.4.4. If you have the iMac Intel, have you verified that all the applications that you are expecting to move from your old iMac will actually work on the new machine? If you are instead moving them to a new iMac G5, they will.
File sharing should be turned on in both computers to set up a network between the two. If you are using Firewire Target Disk Mode, simply double click the icon for the old iMac's hard drive to open it, and move whatever files you want to the proper location in the new iMac's hard drive. Tiger is different from Jaguar, so first read up on Tiger and to what location you should be moving things.
FYI, there is no Classic folder (OS 9) possible on the iMac Intel.

  • Trouble networking/sharing 2 macs

    I am still having troubles networking my MPB and Mac Pro. I have followed the directions to the letter and the MBP can't see the Mac pro or any drives or folders. The mac pro can see the MPB. Is there something I need to do in airport extreme?

    If both devices are connecting to the Extreme via wireless then there is usually nothing that needs to be done to the default Extreme settings. If you have changed a default setting in the Extreme then there could be something you need to change, but without telling us more information about the Extreme setup then we don't know what to suggest.
    So for a default Extreme setup and with file sharing enabled on both Mac's they should be able to see each other. One thing to check is File Sharing > Advanced to see the AFP is selected on both Mac's (again a default setting but worth checking). Also ensure under the Network settings for the port that you are using to connect to the Extreme that the router address is set (with an Extreme this will normally be 10.0.1.1).

  • A bug in network sharing with OS X leopard

    Hi guys I want to know where I can report a bug with apple I just figure out there is a bug in leopard in the internet sharing network preference, I usually leave the airport on my imac sharing the internet with my ipod touch, but every time I turn on my Mac it doesn´t stay emitting it starts off by receiving network and it stays there until I enable it in the system preference sharing folder. Funny thing is that when I do go to the sharing folder icon its enable, and I have to disable it and enable it again.
    I want to report this bug but where can I go report this bug.

  • Wireless Network Sharing with Neighbor

    If I'm sharing a wireless network with my neighbor, will AirPort Express Base Station work to enhance the wireless signal?

    Just to clarify here.....
    The Check "allow this network to be extended" in AirPort Utility > AirPort pane > Wireless tab that John Galt mentions is an adjustment that must be made to your neighbor's Apple AirPort router.
    Then you would configure the AirPort Express to "extend a wireless network".
    If the neighbor does not have an Apple router......then the Express will not help you. It's not compatible with products from other manufacturers for the purpose that you ask about.

  • Trouble capturing HDV with Firewire Basic easy set up

    I recently updated Final Cut and have since been unable to load HDV media
    via firewire using a Canon XH-A1. I am only gettng small fragments at a time
    and capture window reads (searching for media) most of the time during capture.
    Previously, I had no problem . Still able to load via Kona card with Betacam in standard def, etc.
    Any suggestions?

    userc wrote:

    A)Still this could remain a Canon camera's timecode implementation issue.
    B) Or caused by recent QT updates if you did.
    But...
    C) Just out of curiosity,
    do you have external devices like an external drive connected to your computer when your Canon is connected?
    If so, unplug everything from your FW bus but the camera's FW cable.
    Any improvements?

  • Problem Screen Sharing with my grandma.

    I am having trouble screen sharing with my grandmother's computer. I have a brand new Mac Book Pro 15-inch, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2 GB of memory with Mac OS X 10.5.1 . I bought my computer and my grandmother's back in October right after Leopard was released. She has a brand new iMac 20-inch, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2 GB of memory with Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 .
    We have been talking over video/audio chats using AIM for quite some time now with no problems other then an occasional internet problem (audio or video skips for a second or audio/video quality is bad for a few seconds). She is used to Windows so I have had to show/explain the basics of a Mac and every time she has a problem with something I try to help her by walking her through it, but it would be really nice if I could just do it myself through Screen Sharing. We have tried to share her screen but it comes up with and error message every time.
    I have looked at the things that people are saying about how to fix your problem with screen sharing and I have tried most of them but they don't seem to be working. Maybe I am just missing something.
    Please help me get this to work.

    As you say there is nothing Specific in the Info about Fair Usage.
    However the things you can not do are not so specific and could be stretched to cover what you want to do.
    However it would depend on how actively they searched the data traffic for the things that might be interpreted as P2P file sharing and the from it takes.
    As you can Video to some and Not Screen Share to others it sounds more like a NAT issue with (or possibly ports for Sharing Screens at your Grandma's) between you and your Buddy. ANd I think it is unlikely to be your ISP.
    The Screen sharing part of iChat does not use the listed A/V or login ports.
    It is supposed to use the Apple Remote Desktop ports that it is based on. However I have used Little Snitch which has pointed to many other Ports almost at random.
    Try changing the Login port at both your End and your Grandma's
    (iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server settings tab - change the port from 5190 to 443) You can only do this whilst logged out of the AIM servers.

  • Network-Shared Variable - read string with CVI

    I need to read an NSV string with CVI.  I have been digging into accessing and writing NSV with CVI, but they are all scalar value.  What should I do with strings, clusters and arrays?

    'm an employee at National Instruments and I wanted to make sure you didn't miss the Network Variable API that is provided with LabWindows/CVI, the National Instruments C development environment. The the Network Variable API will allow you to easily communicate with the LabVIEW program over Shared Variables (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4679). While reading these links, note that a Network Variable and a Shared Variable are the same thing - the different names are unfortunate...
    The nice thing about the Network Variable API is that it allows easy interoperability with LabVIEW, it provides a strongly typed communication mechanism, and it provides a callback model for notification when the Network/Shared variable's properties (such as value) change.
    You can obtain this API by installing LabWindows/CVI, but it is not necessary to use the LabWindows/CVI environment. The header file is available at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI2010\include\cvinetv.h, and the .lib file located at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI2010\extlib\msvc\cvinetv.lib can be linked in with whatever C development tools you are using.

  • Sharing a network connection with an Ipad2

    I have a windows desktop connected to a network. I'd like to share the network connection with my Ipad while it is connected via the USB cable to the desktop. Is this possible? How?
    Thanks,
    Shaun

    Well duh - no. I misread the question. I share the Internet connection from my iMac which is connected to the Internet via Ethernet cable to the modem.
    The iPad shares my iMac's Internet connection through internet sharing. The iPad is not connected to my Mac with the USB cable. Brain clot! But is it not possible to share the connection via Internet sharing in the Windows world?
    Sorry to the OP!

    Mudda, 
    Is LabVIEW 2010 installed on the PXI chassis or was this program developed on a different computer?
    If LabVIEW 2010 was installed on a different computer you may need the 2010 runtime engine on the controller. If the development environment is installed on the PXI controller then you should be fine. 
    How are you connecting to the PXI chassis is it on the network or do you have it directly connected to your development computer?
    If you look at this forum the same error occured when another device on the network was sharing the same IP address. 
    http://forums.ni.com/t5/Real-Time-Measurement-and/Deployment-Completed-With-Errors-Network-Shared-Va...
    Could you try plugging the PXI chassis in directly and see if that resolves the issue or changing the IP address?

  • Network Users with network homes not really working for me

    I have with great pain setup a OS X Lion server on a Mac Mini that was supposed to be my central server to have 4 network users accounts and all the users data is stored on an external disk array with mounted network homes to the 2 iMacs and 2 Macbooks I have in my home.
    I have gotten it all working and all my Macs are joined to the Open Directory and each User can login as a network users on any of the Macs and get their files via mounted home directory from the server. The home directories on the server are backed up with Time Machine.
    I have found the following items that do not work proberly:
    1) Desktop backgrounds settings are just lost sometimes for whatever reason. Desktop background goes to default and you need to manually set back to the one you have selected. This happen mostly if users have their own desktop pictures.
    2) Keychain get's screwed up. The user often get the "Keychain doesn't exist to store ..." message and need to select to reset the keychain. Anything I have tried from "Keychain First Aid" to removing and have a new one created doesn't fix the problem. It keeps on coming back.
    3) iTunes Storage and AppStore are getting confused about authorized computers. This is because a user logs in from another computer and then iTunes store would tell the user this computer hasn't been authorized to play the purchase music. Same happens with iPhone apps from the AppStore. Apparently those two stores are not setup to hanlde network users proberly.
    4) Permission issues happen sometimes in Application like iPhoto where it would complain not being able to see photos or cannot add new photos to the library. Need to run a permission repair on the Iphoto Library to fix this.
    5) One critical one is that it's not really possible to restore files from Time Machine. The Time Machine backup is done on the server by an administrator account directly backing up the user directories. When you go into Time Machine on the server even the admin can drill down into the user directories so no restore possible. The individual users have no idea that there was ever a Time Machine backup done as Time Machine is not setup in their accounts on the individual Macs. This prevents any possible restore.
    I reckon that many of the problems are related to having only one location for ~/Library as the individual Macs are writing their user related settings into this directory in a central location. So what happens is when something on iMac 1 and then I log in on iMac 2 that might not exactly match this Macs config and it get's confused throwing one of the above erors.
    Trouble is witth central network home directory the way they mounted i can't exclude the ~/Library folder. The only option I can see is mobile account because I have seen in the preferences that when they sync the handle Library items differently.
    Does anybody have any experience out there with this sort of thing and can advise what's the best way forward?
    If i can't resolve this I'll go back to have network users with local home directories on each Mac and just setup for each user a network share to which they copy files if they want them available on other Macs. Not as nice but at least it works!
    As a said note I did this to make things easier but it has up to now cost me trouble then i had before!

    Haven't heard anything from anybody so probably to daunting a topic ...
    I have now moved on to try Portable Home Directories (PHD) and syncing ... what a disaster!
    First it took  me ages to get this right as the way the home directores are mounted on the clients from the server it's just weired which has to do with how AFP mounts are implemented. Since one AFP mount can't be mounted by several users on the same system they use a workaround of mounting it to a temp directory and then linking it back to where it should be. Of course this causes major problems.
    Okay it kind of worked so let's move on to syncing PHD. First of all on initial creation it only sync a small portion of the directory that should be okay but on some of my accounts it never went passed this stage. It said it's all synced but it only had synced the first 10% or so of the data. I wasn't able to make it sync anymore.
    On other accounts it correctly synced all the data down, or so I thought. Apparently a few sync session back and forth and 50-60% of the data was gone. On further investigation it turned out to be iTunes and iPhoto libraries. Turns out does don't sync probably via Home Sync!!!
    Apple product is not able to probably syncing Apple specific library files!!!!
    So here my warning to everybody: DO NOT USE PHD and HOME SYNC to sync your data as you will lose stuff if you have iTunes and/or iPhoto libraries with Lion OS X Server!!!
    The whole Lion Server experience has been a disaster for me. Now I have a server that does file sharing and time machine backup sharing. I can do the same thing with a standard Mac using those services. What's the point of Lion Sever for Home if nothing works proberly?

  • How to configure Time Capsule etc as a local network server with remote access server and for backups

    I'm trying to set up new 3TB Time Capsule as a wireless network server (with remote access) and for backups for use in a small office (of two Macs). We have a late 2011 Intel MBP and a brand new MBA both running 10.8.3. We have two external 1TB hard drives that until now have been attached the MBP for storage and backing up that computer, which up until now was the only machine in use. The MBA is for a new employee and we need to share and work on the same files, both here in the office and ideally remotely too via Back to my Mac. The MBP needs constant access. The MBA only occasional. The TC has 7.6.3 firmware and we've set it up using AirPort Utility 6.2. It is currently attached to the MBP via ethernet and it has internet access via a Sagemcom router attached to TC's WAN port.
    We've managed to set up a wireless network and both have wireless internet access through the TC
    But there are so many issues I don't know where to begin - so I'll start with a description of what we're trying to achieve:
    I planned to use the TC as the main server drive and place all the key folders and files there so that both of us can access them wirelessly and remotely. The MBP would back up to the TC and to one or two of the external hard drives - one being attached to the Mac via USB and the other being attached to the TC's USB port. We would back up the important data on the TC using SuperDuper and copy it to both external USB drives.
    So , first of all, is that a sensible configuration? Should the 'server' be the one of the external hard drives attached to the TC USB port, backed up regularly to the TC using SuperDuper?

    But when you say 'So using USB drive does make sense if you want to use it as a file store', do you mean a USB drive plugged into the TC? I hope that I can attach an external drive to the TC so we can all access and read/write the content wirelessly via the TC network or remotely.
    Yes, USB.. as it prevents the sparsebundle mixing with data files. I guess it does depend on how much data you are talking about.. you can use the TC internal disk if you are careful and setup the sparsebundle with fixed sizes once you create them..
    And to be clear, I wasn't planning on backing up remotely via BTMM - only to access the shared folders on the TC data drive or USB external drive attached to it. I'm assuming that's ok?
    Yes, that is fine. Sorry I got the impression you were going to do backup over internet.
    What is the alternative? Having a Mac Mini that's always on? Do I need OS X Server etc.?
    A mini would be great.. you don't need server edition.. but I would see how the TC goes.. since you have it and it is much lower power consumption device. It is just that its design is not really for file storage.
    One big problem I have is to do with the sharing permissions. For everything on the TC or attached external drive attached to it, it says I have only custom access and every time I try to change permissions it says I don't have the permission to do that. And if I try to change the owner it says my user name is not valid.
    How is the security setup on the TC?
    The security is a bit tricky.. I must admit since I run windows computer in the network, that I simply turn on the guest account to read and write access. For a business setup that might not be adequate  but it allows me full access to all the files.
    If you setup the TC with user accounts then you are in trouble. That makes it very difficult to access, especially if one person already has the file open you may find a second user cannot login. I am not sure as I have avoided the security. IMHO it is meaningless.. since anyone with physical access to the TC can press the reset for one second and has full access.. and can add or change passwords.

  • Network sharing administrating

    Hello,
    I'm using network sharing to share my internet connection (I'm tethering and sharing the internet).
    I have a problem: _If I set up a password for the sharing, windows OS on other computers cannot connect._
    I solved it using no password, but now I have a question: _How can I administrate my network sharing to be able to kick, or ban IP addresses or MAC address?_ I would like to kick or ban computers from the sharing (since they are slowing down the internet).
    Thank you and waiting for your answer,
    Bharel

    pursistance is key! I'm glad you never gave up! keep on truckin'! I had this happening to me and toggling it off and on often times fixed my issue. I have to admit though, I eventually gave up on it, and purchased a 2tb time capsule which routes all my content flawlessly (however I'm connect viw ethernet now and don't need to share my network anymore.
    if you have time, feel free to tell apple about your situation and what you are running on. http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html I've seen too many wifi issues on here. I've already sent feedback of my own, but it wouldn't hurt to share your experience with this.
    That being said, I hope it's the end of your troubles with this, however, I have a feeling you'll have to keep on doing this because it'll just stop working. for me it was after waking from sleep.

  • Mac Pro Early 2008 problems with firewire 400 drives

    I am having some sporadic problems with firewire 400 drives and am trying to figure out my best options going forward. System 10.5.2 has hung on me twice in the first week of use, and each time I noticed from console there were some problems accessing one or more of these drives (even though I wasn't doing any reads/writes to/from them). Just before one of the crashes, Disk Utility also had problems "seeing" these drives. My external firewire drives are:
    Maxtor OneTouch III 750GB
    Acomdata enclosure/Seagate 400GB
    LaCie d2/160GB
    LaCie w/Lightscribe DVD
    I have this "cobbled" arrangement because I just upgraded from an eMac and needed these drives to manage video files, audio files, photos, etc. While I'd love to go out and buy new internals to install in my spare bays, and migrate the data to them, I will have to do that in stages as my budget is tapped out at the moment. My MacPro is the base version of the early 2008 units, with 300GB internal.
    In the interim, is it worth troubleshooting firmware updates for these externals, or am I destined to continue to have firewire problems? Is there a straight-forward/inexpensive way to remove these drives from enclosures/install in drive bays with an adaptor? I believe the external hard drives are all ATA type drives.
    Thanks in advance for any counsel.

    I would assume that the Maxtor may be SATA. Does it have an eSATA port? Also, there were a lot of threads (in OS X Leopard forum) about those OneTouch units. Same can be said for LaCie problems.
    Yes, check for firmware and configuration. In some cases, and what I do with any new OS, is to reformat all drives - gradually. Given the age of the eMac I'd guess firmware is out of date, and that the drives are formatted some time ago. While you don't have to use GUID, it is a good idea eventually, or just reformat a drive.
    Don't forget to test your drives with Disk Warrior (4.1) also.
    750GB WD Caviar is $139 SATA.

    Are you using daisy chains? you have one FW bus shared by front and back ports. Do you have any on FW800 or using FW400 to FW800 adapter cable? PCI Express FW400 card might even help a little.

  • Another "This itunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different icloud account than Apple ID "

    I saw another thread on the matter but thought I would post because the circumstances are different. Here is how it happened.
    I have had an Apple Store account for years and until recently our family has only had our one Mac and my iPhone 4. Thus any purchases we have made on the Apple App Store were made only with this account.
    We recently purchased two iPhone 5S's--one for my wife and one for my daughter. Neither had Apple IDs so first we set up my wife's iPhone and created an Apple ID for her. Next we used the Family Sharing feature to set up an account for our "under age 13" daughter.
    Because I am still waiting for my iPhone 6 Plus to arrive, and because the iPhone 4 cannot upgrade to iOS 8, and because my Apple ID is the only account with any apps that have been purchased in prior years, I set up my wife as the Family Organizer but when I set up her account, I chose the option to "share purchases from a different account" and entered the information for my Apple ID.
    My daughter is able to view my prior purchases on her iPhone, but when my wife tries to view my prior purchases, she receives the message "This iTunes account is set up to use Family Sharing with a different iCloud account than <her Apple ID>."
    I hope Apple is reading this. I would be more than willing to help them on this one as this feature is one of the main reasons I put our family on iPhones.

    I had this problem. I finally figured it out yesterday. Try this:
    On the device that is having trouble seeing purchases, go to Settings>iCloud>Family Sharing> Then tap on the user of the device you are on. Under "Family Purchases" make sure it has the AppleID of the person for that device. Mine originally had my husbands AppleID in there (he is the Organizer), but I changed it to mine. That doesn't make it so that the purchases are under me. The purchases remained under my husband, but my ID had to be in this spot for it to work.
    After that, I closed settings, then I went to Settings>iTunes and App Store> click on the AppleID and Sign Out, even if it has the right AppleID in there. Then Sign In again using the AppleID of the person on that device. Again-- even if it has the right ID in there to start, still sign out and back in.
    See if they show up. If they don't show up still, try doing a restart (hold down power button and home button until it restarts).
    They should show up by then, but if they don't, at that point, try to go into iCloud and Sign Out and back in.
    I think the key is having the right ID in "Family Purchases". I hope this works for you.
