Re: Problems trying to use an iTunes folder (library) from Mac OS 10.5.8 (Leopard) in OS 10.10.5 (Yosemite)

[dianed143]

Please forgive my top posting as I'm on my phone. I've been wanting to research 
this myself. 

I had 2 machines, a G4 running Tiger and an 08 unibody MacBook running I 
believe ML. I've had iTunes in the G4 since the beginning of time and backed up 
the phone and iPad to it (until I had to upgrade to iOS 7 but that's another 
story). I was planning on a new laptop in the spring and knew I'd have a 
drastically smaller HD plus I could no longer back up the mobile devices. So I 
read up on migrating my library to an external drive which went flawlessly. I 
could read and modify my library from either machine and back up again too. 
This was a couple of months before the new laptop. 

Again, I haven't dug into it too deeply, but even when I hook the external to 
the new laptop and select the correct library path, all I can see in my library 
are the songs I've purchased that are shared via the cloud. :( which is about 
200 out of 1300, no playlists or anything else. 

I still have the old MB but I do want to wipe it at some point and it seems 
silly to have the tower and 2 laptops on my desk!

So based on my experience, I'm not sure upgrading your OS will solve your 
problem, unless maybe you go all the way up to Yosemite? I suppose I could try 
that as well, especially as I want to wipe the machine anyway.

Sleep issue

[dianed143]

I have a DP 1.42 G4 running the latest version of 10.5

Since Christmas, it has been going to sleep every 15 mins of unuse, unless I 
have the widgets open. FWIW I've always has the sleep settings turned on but 
they rarely work. 

So it's been over two weeks and its been working like a charm. No freezing or 
anything. I've been using it a lot during this time as well. The only thing I 
have to so is five it time to allow the BT mouse to resync. Yesterday I plugged 
in my Shuffle to recharge and ever since then it hasn't gone to sleep. I 
thought maybe iTunes kept it awake but that's not the case. 

Any thoughts? I've had it since new and its always been like this. The monitor 
sleep works correctly though. I replaced the power supply about two years ago. 

Thanks
Diane

Re: External hard drive vs. online back up sites

Vembu doesnt support Macs at this time. Why did you post this on a Mac list??

 Online backup option is a good idea. With this option we can safe our
 data in online servers, instead in local external drives. It will more
 helpful during the machine disaster case. You can try Vembu StoreGrid
 online backup software for this option, it transfer the data after
 encryption and compression. So it provides data saftey while transfer
 through network. Also it supports incremental backups, during the
 incremental backup only modified bytes will be transferred, so we no
 need to worry about the amount of data upload. It check the integrity
 of the data once the backup completed successfully.
 
 Too slow for large drives.
 
 Yes of course. To overcome this slow transfer, Vembu StoreGrid
 supports seed backup migration feature to avoid the data transfer
 through network. i.e,
 You can backup your drive in the local location, once backup completed
 in the local drive then you can copy the data and seed it in online
 server without any data transfer via network. Once you seed the data
 in the online server, thereafter only modified data will be
 transferred during the incremental backup.

 Perhaps.  But I think you'd need to modify safety to include accessible

 the backup after banking hours, that's a bad problem.

Can't you just drag 'n  drop the individual photos from TextEdit or

this  goop goes on for a number of MB's

I did try saving the entire file as .jpg and opening in PhotoShop  
and I get the

Could not open attachment6.jpeg because JPEG marker segment length

So I assume I am not selecting and saving  the proper header text

still get the same message. Perhaps I need to add some kind of text

Re: Power Supply

Ok so that option is out. Does this sound like a power supply or  
something else!

Alas, although Apple used essentially the same PSU design in many G4
models, the cables and connectors to the motherboard are different.

There are 20, 22 and 24 pin connectors, and even some with two  
connectors.


PSUs are interchangeable only within the same model.
