Use iPad as portable mac with Tiger?

I need a walk around the house using an adjunct to my Mac Mini (2005 pre intel)  I now sit too long typing on the desktop keyboard and blood accumulates in the 85 year old legs and feet. Being able to take whatever file is being worked on and having a means to walk to a stand up counter, or work shop table, etc
would greatly improve the circulation. I've thought would an iPad work? it would need to access applications that work in oSx 10.4.11 such as MS Office 2004, Quicken, Safari, Firefox, mail, apple works, photoshop elements, iphoto.
My setup is via a D-Link router (wired) into a Comcast Cable Modem and I would expect any connection would be either USB or FW between the portable unit.
I have an early Titanium Laptop that runs 10.3.9 but it is too heavy to lug around very much.
Can an iPad help?

>PS.. am having difficult time posting on the discussions since re-installing Tiger couple weeks ago. Using Safari 3.04.
when go to save this it often reverts to a blank with all I type missing. In a couple of other attempts it was not successful
hope this one works.
You're not the only one, I'm about to give up helping here because of losing so many posts, the bloat & slowness of the new forum, & sometimes being logged out many times a day... then other days it works fine.
>Seems like a good idea... Not familiar with that Mac.. Have any pointers?
I think it's the lightest one on the market, Apple has new ones if course...

  • Can I use migration assistant from a mac with leopard to a mac with tiger?

    My old mac was upgraded to leopard, (don't ask me why), and I just got a new mac with tiger, although I ordered leopard up to date. Can I use migration assistant to move stuff from the old mac with leopard to the new mac with tiger, or do I have to wait until I get the copy of leopard? Plus, if I move files over now- like through email and/or network connection, and then when I get leopard and archive and install, what happens to my files?

    That is correct. You'll need either an ethernet cable or a firwire cable and a firewire to thunderbolt adapter to connect the two macs together. Here's info on Migration/Setup assistant

    Does your Mac have ThunderBolt ports?
    There are ThunderBolt to FireWire adapters.
    As far as I know there are no FireWire to USB 3 adapters.

  • How do I use Back to My Mac with a new Time Capsule if I don't have a MobileMe account?

    I just got a new time capsule and I'm trying to set it up so that I can remotely access the files when I'm at work/on the go etc. Now I have an iCloud account, but I don't have a MobileMe account. I do have an @me.com address because I enabled Mail thru the iCloud pref pane and I setup the @me.com email address but I'm still not able to use back to my mac.

  • Copying from a Time Machine backup to a Mac with Tiger

    I've got a Time Machine Backup of my MBP, which is running Leopard (obviously). I'd like to grab all of the files (recursively) from the latest TM backup of my "Documents" directory onto another Mac with Tiger.
    From the command line (on the Tiger machine with the TM firewire backup drive connected), I've tried:
    sudo cp -RL /Volumes/Daily/Backups.backupdb/My MacBook Pro/Latest/Macintosh HD/Users/sbrown/Documents/* ~/Documents
    However, it does not follow the hard links. How can I get it to follow whatever links it needs to to give me a complete set of the files in the Documents folder?

    Confirmed best practice (after hours with AppleCare)--will allow you to create a comprehensive backup of whatever you need from a former TM backup, without traversing aliases or needing to keep a Leopard install around after the initial step.
    You DO need to have Leopard still installed, just once. Simply boot into Leopard, navigate to your backup volume and go to Latest--> in the Backup DB. This is your entire system as it most recently appeared. If you have enough hard drive space on your TM volume, you can copy every folder here to the root level of the same TM volume. This would ensure a complete, up-to-date and Tiger-visible backup at the root level. However, you can also just copy the folders you need--to the same root level of the TM backup--and the OS will break all the hardlinks and create normal (duplicate) files in the new location.
    This is good because it bypasses your likely-small internal hard drive (which, if you're on a Powerbook, is a precious commodity). It just makes a dupe of your most recent backup. The other method (Show Original) won't let you get the entire drive state back easily. It requires manual lookup of every file you think you need, then a reboot into Leopard if you need another. This method lets you create a working archive.
    Hope that helps...

    Hello dewantaraaa
    If you want, you can backup your iPhone and then restore the iPad. Then you can put that back up on the iPad and sync what is on your computer.

  • Using Desktop Software for Mac with an 8703e - Can it be done?

    I downloaded the new BB desktop software for Mac but it doesn't seem to work with my 8703e device.  And since I had to erase the PocketMac software to install the new BB software, I now have no way to synch my Mac and BB.  Can anyone shed any light on this?

    You might check out the FileBrowser app on iTunes. I haven't used it, but it sounds like what you're after. When you say you can't use the Sierra iG2 with your iPad, I'm assuming you mean you can't plug it into the iPad. If it's plugged into a laptop and offering a WiFi hotspot, the iPad should be good with that. I use the Apple Camera Connection Kit to carry extra movies on an SD card. It uploads only to the Photos app, so no books, etc.

  • How can i use Mail on 2 macs with the same mail address?

    Hi,
    I have two Macs, connected through WLAN. From each Mac I can use Mail (sending and receiving) with the same mail address. This worked well; on each Mac I have separate files storing the mails (input, sent, trash, …).
    Some days ago I had to change the provider. (Perhaps this may be the reason for my problem?) Now both mail systems are connected - in the way that if I put on Mac *1 a mail into the trash it is automatically thrown into the trash on Mac *2.
    What is to be done to separate the two systems (i. e. make them independent of each other)?
    Hans

    It looks like you are using a IMAP mail account, a protocol used by most email providers nowadays. Read -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Message_Access_Protocol
    The main feature of IMAP is the sync of all the changes you do on your mail account. If you want to keep your mails on one Mac, have a look at this site -> http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3908294

  • Can I use my contact in Mac with icloud for bigger size of my contacts in Mac?

    My conact list has 3700 now.  My contact in mac book size is 4MB.
    Before, I used with icloud. It happended double or triple my contacts and it became a hugh file size and I deleted many same contacts.
    At that time, I was afraid to use icloud.
    Now, I can't synchronize my contacts in itunes with my iphone5.  IOS Maverick only allows my contacts to use with icloud.
    Can anyone know if I can use my big contact list with icloud without happening double or triple to be able to use with any devices of my same icloud id name?
    Regards,

    kind regards

    the product is support on mac os tiger. you just need to download the drivers for the product. if you have the black ink tank installed it will not print until you change the cartridge type in the printer settings under the quailty and media menu.

  • Can I use CS3 on a Mac with Lion 10.8.4?

    Hi, Ive recently purchased a Mac with Lion as the operating system 10.8.4, and have CS6 suite. However, my old mac runs CS3, and I still have this software which I also want to run on my new mac. However,when I go to open a flash file with CS3, its keeps saying trial expired. I have the serial number for this but it won't let me install properly as it thinks im upgrading but I wish to run cs3 for a special project. Can you help?

    Open the presentations in iWork '09, "Duplicate", then "Save". In the dialog box, towards the bottom, check "Save a copy as.." and choose "iWork '08" from the pull down menu. That should give a copy that you can take to the church Mac.
    Unfortunately I don't have iWork '08 available to check this so I can't guarantee that it will work!

  • Using iPad and LogMein app with Mac Mini Server

    Hello everyone, I'm new to the community and I would like to ask your opinions on something I'm considering.
    I'm currently using a MacBook Air beyond its capabilities. I'm running a dual system via Parallels since some of my work programs are Windows based.
    I'm planning to pass the MacBook Air down to one of my employees but I'm stuck on what I will purchase to replace it.
    I like the new MacBook Pro, but I don't like the $2200+ price tag. So what I'm considering is buying a Mac Mini Server ($900) and setting it up in my office with a HDTV as a monitor because I use construction design programs and the laptop screen is just too small for large drawings. The Mac Mini also has 1TB storage vs 256GB on the MacPro. I already have an external disk drive so that's no issue either.
    Also, since I still need mobile convenience, I'm considering downloading the "LogMein Ignition" app ($130) and using this to log in remotely with my iPad for complete access to all of my files and programs.
    What are some pros and cons I should consider before making this move?
    Thanks in advance for the help!
    Kevin

    > If your server is behind NAT, there is almost certainly no need for packet filtering and you should disable it.
    I disagree, Linc. PF is very useful to block known bad IPs and brute force attacks, which are an hourly occurrence, especially on ssh. I use this PF configuration for OS X, which blocks brute force attacks, updates IP blocks from emergingthreats.net, and more. My logs and pf table "bruteforce" are full of attacks and blocked sites (sudo pfctl -t bruteforce -Ts). I also run snort on OS X and can see that the snort alert triggers are greatly reduced by simply blocking all these packets at the network layer.

  • Is there any information about using iCloud on a Mac with multiple user accounts (Mountain Lion)

    When upgrading to Mountain Lion, you are asked to sign in using your iCloud ID.  I don't understand how to set up the proper synching of "stuff" if your Mac has multiple user accounts, and they each have their own iCloud ID.
    The whole issue of supporting multiple users on a Mac and making everything easy to understand with regard to iTunes and iCloud is, in my opinion, currently in a state of disaster.  Apple needs to address this.  They have conveniently made it a non-issue on iPads by not allowing multiple users.  I can tell you that as one of the resident iOS and Apple experts in my office, most of the questions I get from others (not work-related) are on this topic.  It needs to be easier to understand and accomplish.
    Thanks in advance for any information you have on this subject.

    HI,
    The Facebook Account needs to have "Chat"  enabled but it sounds like you did this already.
    I don't use Facebook but I have heard that there is a setting about using Different Browsers and allowing them to access your Chat option  (it would seem it gets limited to your normal Login and you can "Enable" Work or travelling options)
    For "Browsers" read "Other Apps" and try enabling this option.
