Re: Next problem migrating from G4 Tiger to Mini Leopard
Wendell Mendell wrote: I posted earlier about migrating user accounts from my G4 Sawtooth, running 10.4.11 to my new Mini running Leopard. I solved my first problem by buying a 800/400 Firewire cable and now can bring up the Sawtooth in target mode. However I have two hard disks in the G4, and my system is on Device 2. Target mode only mounts Device 1 on the Desktop of the Mini. I can switch the hard disks so that my system is on Device 1. Unfortunately, I cannot remember if there are jumper issues on these IDE hard disks. Are there and what do I do? Just unplug the IDE cable to the drive that is appearing in Target Disk Mode. It should fall back to the other drive. This is a bit strange, I'm pretty sure I've used TDM in a Sawtooth and was able to see all the drives in it. But that might have been the HD and CD, I don't recall the details of it. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

mirror a drive
G'day I've got a bit of an OT . I'm trying to save multiple email, rtfd, and Zip files to a NAS server about 30 times per hour. The saving to server is proving very, very slow compared to saving the same files to an external hard drive off of the power mac. Time is critical, and the server is taking about 1:10 extra time per each group of 3 files saved. What I'd like to do is try mirroring the external HD to the server and update the mirror every time a file is added to the external. Is there any way to do this, OR is there something I should take into account to speed up the server.

iTunes Music Store issue
I recently downloaded the latest version of iTunes 8. I was about to play a track that I bought via the Music Store some time ago, and got a popup saying that my computer wasn't authorized, so I entered my password. After it communicated with Music Store for a long time, it reported back that my computer is already authorized, but did not continue to play the track. When I tried to play the track again, the same procedure happened again. After restarting iTunes, and trying it again--around the 5th or 6th time rather than saying my computer was already authorized, it reported that some component is missing. I plan to download iTunes all over again, but my bandwidth is currently tied up with something else. Anyone have any other suggestions I could try in the meanwhile? BTW--I don't know that this problem coincided with the latest download. I very rarely play the small handful of tracks I bought from the iTunes Store. This may have been a problem that existed for a long time.

Re: mirror a drive
G'day Dan Situation: a mail room getting HEAPS of artwork that has to be printed on a tight turnaround time schedule. 30-40 emails per hour. The email and art has to be date/time stamped and archived to the mac AND the server on a network. For some reason the network is @#$% slow. We're talking 1 minute 20 to save 3 files. Latest situation in last hour. We've compared the performance of the power mac to my iMac 8000 miles away (I'm the author of the Applescript handling the printing/saving) and discovered that the end user had a HP laser running on his power mac using AppleTalk. We removed the printer, turned AppleTalk off (and set to automatic) and now the server is nearly as fast as the external drive. We can turn AppleTalk back on, and still maintain the speed as long as the printer is removed from the printer list. New Question. Can we do anything to use this printer and maintain speed?

Better output from a PCI Video card, such as a PCI Radeon 7000 (Mac Edition or flashed PC card). Then you will have faster and better video output.

HELP!
hi all, newbie to this group. have a 2004 G5/1.8 DP all stock except 4 x 1GB RAM and second HD. isolated stand-alone machine not connected to LAN or internet. has run in this configuration flawlessly since i bought it in 2004. today while executing a command on video file, something i've done hundreds of times before, the processor fans began spinning up to levels that had never been reached before, and when i tried to move the mouse, the cursor was frozen in place. as the fans continued to accelerate, i yanked the power plug. i left it unplugged for 20 min to cool down. when i plugged the power cord back in and tried to start up, no chime, the power LED indicator on the front panel lit dimly for a few seconds, then flickered rapidly between normal brightness and dim, then came on full brightness, and after a few more seconds, a screen i have never seen on a mac appeared. it looked similar to an old DOS boot screen. it had some info about the machine, and a blinking cursor on a command line with a simple carat (), and instructions to type either mac-boot or shut- down and hit return. i typed mac-boot and hit return, and got a white screen that lasted 10 minutes before i manually shut it down again by hitting the front power button. i went thru this over and over, 6-7 times. twice the chime sounded, but cut off abruptly and uncharacteristically in mid-chime. same end result. the most recent time, it sat with the white screen for several minutes, then i got the blinking system folder/question mark icon on the screen and it won't go further. i've put the original system disc in the DVD drive, and it spins up for a few minutes, then ultimately spins down and self- ejects the disc. it's done this three times now.

question about data recovery from my Power Book: anything tricky with eSATA?
Dear Learned Community, This is my first post here, but I've enjoyed reading you for a few months or more--learned tons, thanks all. I need advice on: 1. using eSATA to get files back from the data recovery folk. My beloved 12-inch Powerbook G4, 1.5 GHZ, 1.25 GB, suffered disk failure--confirmed at the Apple store. DOA, unbootable by them. Normally I wouldn't even entertain data recovery pros. I back up all my client work multiple places... OK, so I lost the family photos. Well, KrollOnTrack found them, 100%. The evaluation and getting an index of what they recovered has been free: due to referral from Apple Store, they said. They're going to sell my files back to me. Are there any tricks to using the 160/USB Gig eSATA drive they propose using? Do I need a special cable? Which one? Can it become a Time Machine drive-- it will have ~80 GB open--and I'm upgrading a Tiger MacBook to Leopard soon. I plan to back up the photos from the eSATA multiple places, one being my 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB/500 GB iMac, and the other my Quick Silver 1 GHZ dual (2002)/1.25 GB/128 GB [its disk failed the same month as the PowerBook's, but it was fully backed up, I replaced the QS disk with a 160 GB Seagate Barracuda, didn't partition, should I--can I get all 160 GB then?]. 2. Do I want a bundle of DVDs instead? 3. I've heard just 38 screws and a new hard drive stand between me and a renewed PowerBook. The Apple folk want ~$350 for this feat. I'm not tremendously dexterous, nor do I actually need another computer (want, of course!). Should I: a. try it myself? b. wait for my children to get a few years older (walking, at least) and have them do it? c. find another way to secure a new disk in an old and noble computer? Thanks!

Re: Next problem migrating from G4 Tiger to Mini Leopard
On Apr 9, 7:45 pm, Wendell Mendell wmend...@mac.com wrote: I posted earlier about migrating user accounts from my G4 Sawtooth, running 10.4.11 to my new Mini running Leopard. I solved my first problem by buying a 800/400 Firewire cable and now can bring up the Sawtooth in target mode. However I have two hard disks in the G4, and my system is on Device 2. Target mode only mounts Device 1 on the Desktop of the Mini This happened to me with my G4 Quicksilver with two disk drives, my primary drive running 10.3.9 Panther. Making the QS the target from a then new G4 iBook running Tiger and then from an aluminum iMac running Leopard gave me only the three volumes on my secondary QS drive. My work around was to be running the Quicksilver and making the new machines the target. I was able to do the quick transfers of the Users folder. Migration Assistant was useless. I copied my email folders to the desktop of the new machines along with the mail preferences, as previously described in an earlier thread. http://groups.google.com/group/g3-5-list/t/aabee6132bfc9e3e?hl=en Then I imported the old mail into the new machines' Mail, along with the preferences which gave me the email accounts. I also captured my Safari bookmarks from the old preferences. Thinking back on this, I probably could have copied the Users folder from the QS primary drive to one of the secondary drive's volumes and let the new machines use the secondary volume.

Re: iTunes Music Store issue
I use a G4 MDD all day (10 hours) without any issues. OS 10.4.11 Since I've updated iTunes to 8.1 ( now 8.1.1), I have a severe slowdown of the Finder after I listen to 3 or 4 Podcasts (each about 30MB). It seems that the Finder loses control of the memory. I cannot get back to the Finder or Dock but Firefox continues to function normally I tried all that came to mind but found no other solution but reboot. Regular iTunes music does not seem to affect the Finder. Even for hours. But Podcasts do. I would appreciate any suggestions. I tried Onyx with a Restart. A simple Restart achieves the same result.

The email and art has to be date/time stamped and archived to the mac AND the server on a network. Won't help you right now, but the guys developing Dropbox have indicated they'll eventually do some p2p (direct peer to peer) sync. With that you could create mirrored folders on each system involved. ...Right now, Dropbox only syncs to/from their servers with an encrypted Amazon S3 cloud backing-store. Latest situation in last hour. We've compared the performance of the power mac to my iMac 8000 miles away (I'm the author of the Applescript handling the printing/saving) and discovered that the end user had a HP laser running on his power mac using AppleTalk. We removed the printer, turned AppleTalk off (and set to automatic) and now the server is nearly as fast as the external drive. We can turn AppleTalk back on, and still maintain the speed as long as the printer is removed from the printer list. New Question. Can we do anything to use this printer and maintain speed? Try switch the printer to use IPP instead of AppleTalk. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
