Re: I-tunes still not working

2009-02-21 Thread Manzie Greg 

Hello Martin

Please be aware that some early iMacs cannot support Target Disk Mode.  
There is a list of the capable machines here .


There are other ways to do what you want though. But I suggest you  
solve the T mode dilemma first.

Hi Neil

Thanks for the reply.Yes iI tried another firewire device and the  
ports seem to work.


Unplugging I did before and didn't solve that problem.

Neither in Disk Utility nor in System profiler I fnd the e-Mac.

I try to get a new firewire next week to see if that one is working.

Thanks again Martin

Hi Martin,

A few things come to mind:

- Sometimes when I've had external HDs not show up unplugging and
re-plugging the firewire cable has helped - worth a try.

- Open disk utility on the iMac and see if it finds the the eMac's  
disk.


- Run system profiler on the iMac (open "about this mac" and click  
"more

info" or go to Applications/Utilities/System Profiler) and look under
Hardware, Firewire, and see if the eMac's disk is showing up. Let  
us know

what it shows.

- Do you have any other firewire device you can try on both  
computers, in
turn, just to check that the firewire ports ARE working on both  
machines.


Another alternative, if you find you have problems with one or the  
other of
the firewire ports, would be to connect the two computers with an  
ethernet
cable (obviously the eMac would need to be normally booted, not in  
target

mode) enable file sharing and transfer the files over the network
connection.

Hi Martin,

To use firewire transfer, you need to have started one one the
computers in
Target mode - that way it just shows up as an external firewire
drive on the
other machine.

For the way you describe, ie to use the iMac to do the work, you
need to
start the e-mac in target mode. To do that, just hold down the  
"T" key
whilst you boot up or restart the eMac. It should startup with a  
blank

screen apart from the firewire symbol drifting around the screen.

You should then be able to see a new external drive (with the name
of the
eMac harddrive) on the iMac.

Cheers

Hi Everyone

I have an I-MC RUNNING 10.4.11 AND AN  e- Mac  running 10.4.11 as
well.I linked both machines with an firewire and try to transfer
my i-
Tunes library to the e-mac .

Can't find the e-mac in FINDER window on I-Mac.

How can I make sure that only the songs which are not on the e-mac
get imported.

Thanks a lot Martin
