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.

I'm wondering if now is a good time to purchase one of these or should I continue to play the waiting game for another 2 weeks? Also, is iDVD really that good to make you purchase…

Either way you want to do it. The internal SuperDrive for the POwerbooks is a great thing if you are going to be doing some DVD Creation on the go. I was going to get one but sin…

Hi, I'm setting up my G4 450 as a server. I'd like to be able to play movies out to my tv, which would need svideo. The graphics card at the moment only has vga and apple outputs. …

Most of the OEM Apple cards can display to SVIDEO with an adapter from Apple. You could try to get one of those.

I got the Radeon 7000 retail (about $110) as a second card for my tower about 4 months ago for the same reason. I don't remember how I decided on it, but I'm confident I weighed a…

I have a ti550 and would like to if it is woth it to upgrade my current ram of 512 (2 stick) to 1 gig (wich will be 2-512 stick). Keep in mind I will have to take out the 2-256 in …

You will see an increase for sure...if you don't have the money for a newer system a RAM upgrade is worth every penny. Especially if your running OS X.
