The manual for the Mac Pro shows a bay for 3 hard drives which are empty and so I filled them with my hard drives (3) from my G4 Mac which bend the pins on my hard drives and possibly on the may have bent the pins in the Mac Pro. I did buy the Apple Care so they did replace the mac and after testing found the problem was operator error. Anyway, they said to put the hard drive back into my G4 which does have a fire wire 800 pci board and use a fire wire cable between the 2 macs and start up in with the T key held down. I did this but all I seem to get is a screen full of a large T moving around. Am I holding down on the the right key, the one on the Mac Pro or should I hold the one on the G4 or maybe both? Thanks for any help as all my files and info are on those 3 hard drives.

Once a target computer is started up as a FireWire hard disk and is available to the host computer, you can copy files to or from that volume.

Just to close the loop on thisŠI connected a keyboard to the G4 and started
it in TD mode. I inserted the OS install disk into the MacBook, and the
screen froze. I shut down using the power button and restarted, and decided
to try one more time. I inserted the install disk again, and I got the
option to install the OS. But it required me to shut down and restart. And
my gut told me that it was going to try to install on the MacBook, which I
definitely didn't want. So I aborted the installation.
I'm going to borrow the Cinema display that I gave away with the G5 and
connect it to the G4. Then I'll be able to see theG4's hard drive and should
be able to reformat it. And I'll make sure I do a Secure Erase before
reformatting as Otto recommended.
Thanks again for the suggestions and advice. You guys are amazing!

The OS X version for the Power Mac can't install on the MacBook. I wonder
if it would have given you the option of installing on the Power Mac, still
connected in TDM?
Anyway, once you have a monitor and keyboard on the Power Mac, simply boot
from the install disc (either via System Preferences > Startup Disk if it's
already running, or by holding the C key down during bootup) and then
reinstall.

Since I still had the G4 in TD mode, I was going to try again to install the
OS using the MacBook. But someone else in the house shut the cover on my
MacBook, which broke the TD mode connection. I've tried repeatedly to
reestablish it, but nothing happens. I've even tried to just start the G4,
and nothing happens. When I press in the power button, the light comes on as
long as I hold the button in.
Any suggestions?

I have a new iMac and love it. I still haven't transitioned over completely, so my PC laptop sits next to it.
One problem is reading mail -- I don't seem to have a choice to send mail to SPAM from the iMac, but I can from my PC. So when I get fed up with spam, I have to turn on my PC to deal with it. I find that if I just delete it, I keep getting more, but if I send it to SPAM, I don't.
So what am I missing? I'm sure it's there; I just haven't found it yet.

Can anyone suggest a reliable word processing app for the iPad (G4)? I need to be able to open MS Word documents and edit them (don't need any fancy stuff, just text editing). There is a plethora of apps in the app store and for every review that gives an app a 5 star there is a review giving 1 star. Very confusing.

Do you need to retain the MS formatting? If retaining the original MS Word formatting is important, your options are limited. Many things will import MS Word, but they won't necessarily retain all formatting. If you only need to import MS Word but maintaining formatting is not important, that's opens many options.
Good Luck,

Hello, I am looking for anyone with knowledge about old ibooks and software.
I have a ibook G3 500
it has os x on it it, I believe the very first os x.
It has not been turned on for close to 10 years.
I had it packed away after a move many years ago, and quite honestly forgot about it... lol
Well I dug it out today, plugged it in, and powered right up.
The safari and ie for mac that were on there, both were acting funny while trying to do anything on line. (safari more than ie)
anyway, I tried to download a new safari and it said my computer did not support it.
So with as old as that ibook is, does anyone know what would be the newest operating system, that the ibook can handle or that would be good for it, and where would I go to get an older OS?
Thanks for any help or advice!
Stacey

Ever hear of a great program called MacTracker? It is a database of pretty much everything Mac. It will tell you that and much more. Since you said 500 MHz I'm assuming it is the first of the white rectangular ones, not the colored clam shell ones, which were slower. MacTracker says it can run Tiger, 10.4.

It is a "Powerbook4,1" and can be upgraded to MacOS 10.4.11
It can also take 640 MB of RAM (it may only have 128 MD in it).

I check email from GMail, Yahoo and Comcast on my iPhone4. If I open Facebook from a browser, I get an email telling me that someone has opened Facebook. Fine w me, on my iPhone4 I just delete the email, but it doesn't delete, it ARCHIVES at GMail. How do I stop this archiving and delete these messages first time using the iPhone4?

On my MacBook Air running 10.8.2, I have to wait for it to slowly find the network. When it does, I have to go to the network drop down list and click the network "frontier8888" for it to be connected. I never had to do this before, it just automatically got the network going for me. (My MacBook Pro works fine.)
For network preferences, I have frontier8888 as location. I have tried it with automatic and it makes no difference.
I have "Wi_Fi is connected to frontier8888 and has the IP address ……."
Network Name: I have frontier8888
I have run disc utilities, doing both the permissions and disc check and repair.
Is there something I am missing that I can do to get it to work normally?
Also, when I click Safari and I finally get the network working, I have to force reload the first page I want, then it works fine. This, I do not understand at all. Any help would be appreciated.
