I am trying to set up my new (refurbished) MacBook (with 10.5), and I want to copy everything over from my G4 iBook (running 10.4.11) but there is a glitch. I shut down the iBook, connected the firewire cable to both machines, and restarted the iBook holding down the T key. The big firewire symbol appears on the iBook screen, but the MacBook gives this error message: "There are no versions of Mac OS X available on your old Mac. You can only transfer information from a Mac that has OS X installed. Click Continue to keep trying, or click Cancel to stop the transferring."
Do they really mean it has to be the same version of OS X? The cable worked a few months ago to transfer files between a G4 iMac and an intel Mini and hasn't been abused since then. I know the iBook is working as I am writing this message on it. Any ideas will be most gratefully appreciated. Alex Whitman -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
