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.

HTH

Cheers




Neil

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
