I will soon be purchasing a Dual 1.8 G5 to replace my trusty Yikes! machine. Can I use Carbon Copy Cloner to move files over a LAN? Also, The Yikes! is running Jaguar, will there b…

Shut down both machines and start up one holding down "T" on the keyboard. This boots the machine into "Target Disk Mode", turning it into essentially a big expensive firewire hard…

Don't use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your whole user dir and expect it to work. The Prefs might not work. Copy your lib instead and import addresses and other things manually. F…

CCC is best for copying and making backups of SYSTEM folders and OS installations, not for transferring files. That is unless you want to clone an entire drive. Use Target disk M…

You could also boot from the 'Software Restore' CD and partition your new G5's drive (I recommend doing this anyway) into at least two partions. On the second partition, install a…

FYI: The Yikes! G4 will not boot as the target disk because it has a different FireWire controller that does not permit that 'feature'. You can, however, use the G5 as the target d…

Hmmm...so instead of manually unscrewing the hard drive out of my dad's old g3, dumping into a firewire case, and plugging that into the new mini mac I got for him, I can just put …

Correct.

thanks!

You guys are all screwing everything up. Seriously. You can use Carbon Copy Cloner to get your ENTIRE /Users directory as long as you copy over the netinfo database as well. Exa…

I recently bought a 40 gb hitachi harddrive for my pismo g3/400, and now I am trying to install panther on it. Whenever I get to the disk select screen, it tells me that I can not …

Update - it seems that all i needed to do is restart the computer and boot from the OS X discs again. After this, panther let me install onto the harddrive.

They have a few G4 AGP models on eBay, but their feedback isn't that great. Has anyone here dealt with them, either as a buyer or seller? If so, please share your thoughts.

Actually, a client of mine bought an Sawtooth G4 from them. The thing wouldn't boot. And it was so full of dust, i could scoop it with my hand.

Yikes!...errr, I mean Sawtooth! Did they let him return it without any hassle?

I heard nasty things from other readers on that site

I bought an old 15" Studio Display from them (Manta style with DVI) and it has one stuck pixel, that's it. I've been really pleased with it thus far and didn't have any problems w…

Boy do I have a story for you about that company. I posted about this waaay back when. In fact, I think it might have been one of my first posts. A ways back I bought a 9600/350…

/\/\ Whoa, I know not who to buy from!

Thanks, all, for your opinions. Looks like they go on my "avoid like the plague" list, right up there with MacMall!

Thanks for the heads up! Another one on the crap list. Brad
