Re: Transfering files
imacbob wrote: Hi, I need some help with this, it's got me stumped. My wife has an imac slot loading, G3 350 mz, 320 mb ram, 20 GB hard drive running system 9 with no internet access. She runs her office on this computer and was backing up to zip disks. The zip drive has died. We tried to use flash drives but when they are inserted we get the never ending watch. I think its a USB 1 vs. 2 issue. It shouldn't be, the flash drive should still be usable whether even if it is USB 2. It may just take time because of the slow speed of USB 1. She has another imac tray loading, G3 233 mz, 64 mb ram, 4 GB hard drive running system 9 with no internet access. I'd like to backup the first imac to the 2nd imac. Any ideas how? Any other backup ideas? If they both have FireWire then you can use a FW cable between them and use FW Target Disk Mode. Old down the t key one one and the FireWire symbol will start bouncing around the screen. That machine can then be used just like a firewire drive. Otherwise, as others have suggested use Ethernet. -- 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 a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: G3 Slot Loading Imac Issue
I'm going to try command V next. I tried Command-Option-N-V(?) to reset NVRAM and it didnt go all the way through. Here is some of what I got: I know this is a late comment, but I have been following this thread; when U reset the PRAM, you DID hold the keys for four(4) restart bongs, right? Also, I think i asked this before, but I remember you mentioning you loaded the OS in the HDD using another machine, I think? What Mac did U use? Finally, It might be time to consider re-installing the original HDD, and using your 10.3 install disk to reset the password. Craig W.

Re: G3 Slot Loading Imac Issue
If it was running OSX before, there's a good chance it already had the firmware update. Besides, we accidentally did that to a 350Mhz Blueberry slot-loader, installed 10.4 without updating the firmware. In that case, it stops recognizing the monitor, and it just stops displaying video. -Elliott Price Mac Computer Repair - Santa Barbara Graphic Design - Artwork Setup Websites - Low Cost Custom Websites On Sep 5, 2009, at 9:28 AM, Jasiu wrote: really?

Getting Mail to work with two machines
Hi there: I am hoping there's a way to get the newer machine (see details below) when it fires up Mail to do so using the mailboxes on the older machine. (This is because I generally use the older machine but occasionally it's not available to me.) It looks as though the Synchronize feature only works 1) if you have a .Mac account, which I don't, or 2) only if your mail server uses the IMAP protocols, which mine doesn't...they use POP. Is there some other technique I can use to achieve this? Mail on the older machine is version 2.1.3, and I don't know the version on the newer machine since I just installed Snow Leopard last night. As always, my thanks in advance! *** Bill Spencer in Maryland IMac Core Duo 2.4 ghz/1 g RAM/Snow Leopard IMac Core Duo 1.83 ghz/1 g RAM/Tiger --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
