Greetings all,
I have a Powerbook G4 connected to an Intel iMac via Target Disk mode,
with the intent of copying files to the iMac in preparation for a
"nuke and pave" for the G4 Powerbook (which it desperately needs at
this point, as it is exhibiting serious OS issues, hence why the owner
gave it to me to help them out).
The iMac is running Lion (10.7) and the G4 is running leopard
(10.5.8). Here are my questions:
1) in Lion, how do I make the folder window (when opened in List view)
indicate at the bottom of the window the no. of items currently in the
folder (as
it does in Leopard and snow Leopard)? Every window in 10.5, when
opened, displays information re; the no. of items in the folder, and
the amount of
disk space still available - I want to replicate that in Lion.
2) probably more important, as i am copying all these files from the
G4 to the iMac (wedding photos, darn it, the ONLY copies, darn x 2!,
so I gotta get them
off!), sometimes the copying hangs on a (I suspect) corrupted
file, and I can't get the iMac to give up trying (the little grey "X"
in the copy progress bar
supposedly used to "stop copying" is thoroughly useless) -
currently I have no choice but to relaunch the Finder, which in turn
hangs to relaunch until
I either unplug the FW cable to the G4, or shut down altogether
and relaunch, which I know is NOT the best option. Any way to make the
iMac give up
copying harmlessly?
Any thoughts on either would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Dana
