I have an old Mac, an LC. Back then, USBs were not even around yet nor were CDs for that matter. However, the information on it (max 40 Megabites, not gigs) is very valuable to me and I woul like to know how to transfer it to the iMac with Lion. It does have an s-video port and I remember connecting a modem to it at one time. Most data was transferred using 3.5 inch diskettes back then.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

I have an old Summer 2000 iMac DV SE running Tiger. Recently when I powered up the machine I saw the display flicker a bit then went dead. I also began to smell something burning from the rear ventilation ports. Now when I press the power button, it lights up for a brief moment then the burning smell returns.

View 6 Replies View RelatedThis Friday I am going to treat myself to a new MBP with the arrival of Snow Leopard. Are there any tips or pitfalls to be aware of when transferring data from old MB to new MBP? I plan on using Migration Assistant with firewire. SEEMS pretty straight forward. Need to transfer all applications and data. I still haven't entirely shaken my Windows past, so I am a bit nervous. Also, after the transfer is complete, what is the best/most secure way to wipe out the MB HD, reinstall OSX 10.5, and prepare for an ebay sale?
View 3 Replies View RelatedLike many, very recently I took the plunge: 27" iMac / Quad Core / i7 / 1TB HDD / 8GB RAM and I couldn't be happier! What is the best solution for transferring data from an old hard drive (formally inside a PowerMac G5) to the brand new iMac? My first attempt was with the 'Akasa Integral HDD External Enclosure' however this doesn't appear compatible with the file structure of Tiger, let alone Snow Leopard. The PowerMac G5 tower itself has a failed power supply, so connecting from Mac to Mac isn't an option either.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a unibody macbook model 5,1. I currently have it dual booted with windows-xp so I can play games(upgrading to 7 soon), and I want more harddrive space. I am debating between buying a new internal and simply upgrading or just getting external. Does anyone know if running games off of an external decreases performance? I was also wondering how hard it is to install a new harddrive and transfer all the data from the old one, also how do you transfer the data between harddrives?

View 13 Replies View RelatedWe have two Mac laptops: a PowerBook (running OS 10.5 Tiger) and an iBook (running OS 10.4). In a very unfortunate accident the screen literally broke off of the iBook. (A little kid flattened the screen out, and just broke it off). The computer itself seems to be OK, but nothing shows on the screen of course (cables twisted out, torn, etc.)
My main questions are: I had a few very important documents, that I need to get from that laptop as soon as possible. Is there any way to connect the two laptops and access the broken computer's hard-disk that way? If yes, how would I do that? The broken computer starts up, seems to be working fine otherwise. I do have a firewire cable, could I use that one? How do I make the connection, meaning software-setup?
Secondly, the iBook was just over a year old. Is it worth getting it fixed? The screen itself is not broken as far as I can tell, but it literally broke off of the main body, and some cables seem torn. Otherwise this laptop was in perfect shape before, rarely used.
Does anyone have a preferred method of transferring from 'old' to new?
View 24 Replies View RelatedWhen I restart the g4/800mhz quicksilver while holding "t" it issues the sound of happiness and hums for a bit then clicks off. There is no regular error message on the imac but I did get "there is no osx disc on your old computer, etc". Is there any way to do this without having to be smart enough to put every file in the right place on the imac? These machines are supposed to be smarter than I am right? BTW every drive on the g4 has os 10.4 installed on it. I'm looking for that clean transition from one computer to the next. Also, is there some reason I wouldn't be able to install os 10.5 that came with the imac on a macbook/2.0?

I have a 13" MBP and just got a new 500gb HD to pop in replacing my 160gb one. I have about 200gb free on an NTFS external I was planning on using time machine to back up my system for seamless HD swap but as we know, macs don't play nice with NTFS. If possible, I would like to not have to re-install all my applications and such. I found other software (SuperDuper) that should do the same thing but none will play with my NTFS external. I guess my question is this: I have a SATA to USB adapter, can I: Plug in new HD via USB, Format to OSX Journaled, then do a time-machine backup to the new drive, pop in the new HD and be good to go?

earthsaver - Aug 10, 2009 - 10:37 pm Backups.backupdb is the folder containing Time Machine's backups of your Mac. Normally you wouldn't want to delete this, however since you used this hard disk with your PC, it's probably partitioned as Master Boot Record instead of Apple Partition Map; the latter will function better with your Mac.......................
