Trying to get old data off a g4 tower

Hi- I am trying to get old data off a g4 tower using macbook and firewire but I am not succeeding. My old monitor doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I also have a Gdrive if that might work.

Here's another method.
Buy one of these hard drive adapters.

Remove the hard drive from the G4. Using the above adapter, connect the drive to your MacBook. Copy the files you want.
 Cheers, Tom

  • Trying to get old emails off old n96 forever

    hi
    giving my old n96 away and deleting contacts etc ok.
    because i'm no longer synching this phone to my outlook mailbox it won't wipe all the deleted messages.
    have tried removing the MfE application and associated content but they are still there.
    can anyone help?
    thanks

    Hello.
    I suggest you reset your phone with *#7370#.
    *#7370# will restore the phone from ROM and whipe all stuff on C:, and set it in a state as it was when you got it. (firmware uppdates will still be applied)
    Alos by reset the phone the new user will get a fresh phone they can customize them self.

  • I have a 4s and i am trying to get my photos off my phone and back onto my computer. any advice?

    I have a 4s and i am trying to get the photos off of my phone and back onto my computer.... i am not able to delete these photos (only the ones in the camera roll can i delete )   if anyone has any helpful tips they would be appreciated. thank you

    Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process cannot be deleted direct on the iPhone.
    Photos transferred from the computer are optimized for viewing on the iPhone – the original resolution of these photos is reduced, and the reason transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported. Photos transferred from your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data
    Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process are removed from your iPhone in the same way. To remove all photos that were transferred from your computer, deselect sync photos under the photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by sink.

  • TC 500GB died today - how do I get my data off of it?

    My TC has been working great until today when the power died.  Tried unplugging/plugging it back in, but still dead.  Currently I have it unplugged and will wait a few hours before I plug it back in hoping life will flow back into it.
    If not, how do I get my data off of it?
    SN: 6F914B92UJ

    Either remove the hard disk.. there are plenty of sites about replacing the hard disk in the TC.. if you do it carefully,, heating the rubber foot really hot with hair dryer or hot air gun,, then you can simply peel it back and undo the 10 small Philips head screws.. get a USB to sata converter at local computer store.. a bare one is less than $20.. a decent box might be $40..
    Or repair the TC.. in the end that is cheap.. you can get it repaired or do it yourself if you have a few clues.. and then sell it on ebay once you recover your data and wipe the drive. The repair is cheaper than sale price.
    Just type in google Time Capsule repair.

  • I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do?  How can I get the data off this disc?  I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

    Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive.  Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth)  around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
    If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.

    It's too late. If you had been syncing your phone with that computer prior to the screen failing, it wouldn't be asking you for a passcode...

  • Trying to get my music off of my old PC and on to my new mac

    i have an old PC laptop running windows XP, it also has an oder version of ITunes. I have an old IPod, everything is touch sensitive and the buttons light up red (i think it's second gen). i just recently purchased a mac mini and i need to get my music off of the old PC and on to the new macif anyone knows how to do this i would much appreciate your help.
    P.S. I'm still learning about my mac so go easy on me

    I believe your iPod is 3rd Gen (with the 4 buttons on the top?)
    Long story short, an iPod formatted on a PC can be read by a Mac computer, you can download a 3rd party software e.g. Senuti (Google search please) and install it on your Mac Mini, use this software to transfer the songs from your iPod to the iTunes of your Mac

  • Getting old site off the 'net without appropriate files. (to start over with same domain name)

    As a complete novice, I'm not even sure how to start this question...but, I have tried everything and I think I have "lost" my website in terms of bringing in back into DW and changing/updating it.  My backup files on my computer have disappeared and the appropriate files through my cPanel to bring it back to in order make changes aren't there.  The website still functions, but it is outdated for my business needs.
    So, at this point, my question is this; how can I gain control over the domain and start over from scratch.  I don't want what is out there anymore, but without control through the above mentioned devices, is it even possible to build a new website and get the old one off the 'net as it is and still keep the original www.name.com?
    I'm clueless at this point.  Thanks.

    So, at this point, I don't know what is really going on.  My main goal was to get my existing website off the net and put something updated on with the same domain name.  I was successful with what JTANNA suggested, but I don't know what I'm doing with a mirrored site in terms of what my needs are.  I am not against changing the domain name and just leaving this one out there, though I did put a great deal of time into building it.  I would take some further help if anyone has more suggestions, but I'm about ready to move one.
    Thanks for trying to help.
    You will need to sort out the FTP issues because when you have edited your site, you will need to upload it and so FTP details will be required.
    Your first port-of-call to sort this out is to contact your host who can reset the password for you so that you can start all over again.  The alternative, is to give your password/login details to Murray (PRIVATELY) so that he can try from his machine.  When this is done, you can always change the password for your own security.

  • Getting old data onto new hard drive

    I've backed up my current hard drive and I will be replacing it with a new one tonight. My question is once I do this, do I just plug in my external drive with the back up and then...? How do I get my old data onto the new hard drive? Thanks!

    How did you back it up, Surfer?
    If you "cloned" the existing internal to the external, using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner, then you simply boot from the external drive, use Disc Utility to make sure that the new drive is formatted using the GUID partition scheme and HFS(extended) file system (and reformat it if it is not), and then clone back to the internal.
    If you backed up using Time Machine or Disk Utility, then it will depend on what you chose to back up, but you may be best off re-installing the OS from your OS DVDs and then "migrating" the material from the drive (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 for some general information and links to other relevant material).
    If you simply backed up data by dragging it across to the other drive then you will need to re-install the OS and applications from the original discs, set up a user account and then drag things back to the appropriate locations.
    In all cases you should make sure that the drive is partitioned with the GUID partition scheme, and formatted as HFS(extended) first, though.

  • Can you get your data off of a broken iPhone 3gs?

    I dropped my iPhone 3gs and it broke apart. Took it to someone to fix it and it broke even worse. I was going to sell it to a company that would repair it and sell it. Before I do that I want to get all of my data off it...is there a way I can do this or am I just screwed?

    No, but unless the company you're selling it to has forensic methods of extracting the data, it's unlikely they can get at it either.  When they're done fixing it, there will be new parts and the phone will be wiped of data.
    If there is really sensitive data on the phone, and you're worried - best to take a sledge hammer to it, and call it a loss...
