What type of cable needed to copy older iMac G5 HD to iBook?

My iMac G5 circuit board died a while ago. I am using an iBook and I want to remove the HD from the G5 and copy it to my iBook. I was told to use a SATA to USB adapter to do so. Is that correct? Do I need more specific info? (I looked at sites selling various SATA products and I don't know which one I need).

Hey Mr. Easy,
I was told to use a SATA to USB adapter to do so. Is that correct?
Yes that would be right. Here's one at OWC:

Depending on where you live, I have one from Micro Center that I got for $14. I use it all the time.

I repair and donate these to schools in my area. Email me if interested and for more info.

    No. Your iMac only has DVI video connection. You would need an iMac with Thunderbolt.

    Assuming that your cable modem has Gigabit Ethernet ports (possible, but it probably does not) Cat 5e or Cct 6 would do the job that you need.
    If the cable modem is using a 10/100 Mbps port, then Cat5 will be OK.

    Copy what kind/type of DVDs?  For non-copy protected DVDs you can use Disk Utility (in the Applications folder) to make a disk image of the DVD disk and then burn it back to a disk.

    It was the older type (pre 80s) of cable with an earlier colour coding (CW 1293)
    Here is the colour coding.
    The predominate wire is the coloured wire ( Blue, Orange, Green,  Brown, Grey) It then has it's associated white wire which, if you carefully strip of the outer insulation of the overal cable you will see that this pair (Blue/white) is twisted together.

  • I have a new Mac with usb 3.0 ports. What type of cable do I use for an old usb 1 printer

    I have a new IMac with usb 3 ports. What type of cable do I use for conncting on older usb 1 device?

    AFAIK, use the USB 3.0 port to the printer. It should be backward compatible. If not, return the useless computer or get a new printer.

  • What type of cable is required to move photos from iPhone 4 to Mavericks iMac?

    what type of cable is required to move photos from iphone 4 to imac mavericks?

    The Apple cable that shipped with the iPhone - the same cable you use to sync the iPhone with iTunes on your computer, charge the iPhone with your computer and with the included power adaptor.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
    With a Mac you can use iPhoto to import photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll, or the Image Capture application as with any other digital camera with both applications included with every Mac.

  • What files do I need to copy to move iCal data from an old hdd?

    I have recently recovered the data from a broken hdd and want to reinstall my iCal data on my new hdd. I have copied 'user/library/application suport/ical', 'user/library/preferences/com.apple.ical.plist' and 'user/lbrary/calendars' from my old hdd to my new one but iCal still start up empty – without my old calendar data. Are there still some files I need to copy?

    I strongly recommend you check in Native Instruments and confirm whether your version is even going to run. This is not always necessary, but in your specific case, you're trying to migrate software running on a G5 (PowerPC CPU) to a MacBook Pro (Intel CPU). There is a pretty good chance that if you copied over your files, or even if you installed from the original media, the software might not run and might not even install on a MacBook Pro because it uses an Intel CPU. If the version on your G5 does not support Intel processors at all, you will have to upgrade the software.
    This is much different than the situation with the current Macs and apps from the Mac App Store, where migration is very simple and could be done manually by dragging the single self-contained app file over with essentially zero risk. But you're working with an application built a half a decade ago.

  • What Type Of Cable Is this???

    Ok this cable comes into my house through the attic, and goes down into the wall to a junction box that connects to the standard type phone cable, but it was filled in with bonding and smoothed over so I am not digging it out again. It seems to have 12 wires in it and the colour coding is different?? Any ideas what this cable is and what wires I need to connect to the standard cable again?
    Solved!

  • What type of connectors needed for optical audio out?

    Hi, looking at upgrading to an imac and I noticed on the spec it has optical audio out which would be great to go into my audio interface. What connector do I need? Is it TOSLINK type?
    Had a look at the picture of the rear but couldn't see an optical out port, only the jacks for analogue. Where does the optical come out!?
    Thanks!

    If you want to connect the iMac to something that has Toslink then you would need a cable similar to this:
    http://www.amazon.com/6ft-Toslink-Mini-Cable/dp/B000FMXKC8/ref=pdcp_e_1?pf_rd_p=413863501&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0002MQGRM&pf_rd_ m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rdr=1TDMZGX7YP22Q17RP1X3
    I use one myself, they work fine.

  • What type of HBA needed for 220 R to connect to 3100 JBOD

    Hi
    We have a number of 3100 JBODs that are not currently being used and I am planning to use them to connect to the 220R server. What type of HBA we would need to make that happen.
    Thanks
    Srini

    Sorry, you won't be able to connect an Sun Storage Array 200 to an Intel server. The array uses a Sun sbus HBA. It is commonly known as a SOC adaptor and is only available in sbus, so the array can only be connected to Sun sbus systems, not pci systems.

  • HT5299 what size thunderbolt cable .2 or .5 for imac

    i want to connect a imac 17" to a imac 21.5. what size thunderbolt calble. .2 or .5

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can buy the cable you want. If you have them separated, go for the 2 m. Thunderbolt cable, and if they are together, go for the 0.5 m Thunderbolt cable. However, note that the 0.5 m. cable may not be enough, so it's better to go for the 2 m. Thunderbolt cable.
    Note that, to be able to use the cable, you must have two Mid 2011 or newer iMacs that include Thunderbolt. Older iMacs haven't got it
