His old ancient iMac, the little bondiblue one we will give to our grandaughter to play games on.
But I forgot that the old one doesnt have Firewire, so I cant transfer his iPhoto(the last summer wedding photos) to the new one?
What is the easiest way to do it? If its possible. My external HDs dont have USB.
I guess I could try to network, but his is os 9.
Thanks,
Jane

My wife buys me things to decorate the house with- since I have to "install" them, eh?

Our grandson just turned 8, so have to think of something neat for him.
Been searching for an Original Erector set, we gave our old 60 year old one away, I could kick myself, as those were just amazing.
So we will have to find something new, but along that same line. We did get him one of the new ones for Christmas. Any ideas? He is a really mechanical and loves to build stuff.
Oh, I better get back to my husband, and figure out how to transfer those wedding pictures.

The wedding pictures are just in a folder, there was no iPhoto in those days. its 866mb.

In OS X, the iPhotos are located at Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library. Alas, I recall nada re OS 9.
Still, you can either burn a CD of the iPhoto folder or copy to thumb drive etc., and then copy them to the above OS X folder on the new machine.

I could borrow a USB external hard drive? Seems thats the olny way.
Then I could pop them right into his iPhoto.

I didnt need anything for my birthday, so I got my husband a lovely new iMac, a 17 screen one this morning.
Oh c'mon Jane.... You just wanted to be sure to get a new iMac for your birthday
Make it a great birthday and both enjoy the new iMac

What a great gift.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY and enjoy your new toy.

Thats what I wil need, a crossover cable I think. I know there is one around here somewhere in this messy room.
Thanks,
Jane
Hey, this is fun! I was going to get him a new chain saw, but he repaired the old one.

I got one last year, 17" iMac iNtel duo-core 1.83, iCam built-in, 512 mb ram, 160 gig hd, and a 128 mb video.
Love it!
Glad you got a nice puter, and if you stand back away from it and look closely at it, it resembles a polaroid print.
Enjoy jcarter! Have a Happy one!

Somehow, Jane, somehow I really think you'll enjoy that gift far better than a chainsaw, even a new one.
Anyhow, congrats to the birthday boy . . . we've certainly had a big helping of celebrations heereabouts this month.

And I know I miss the birthdays here, so Happy Birthday to all TSers, and hope you all get a Mac-like present too.
Jane
Having a problem networking the new one in, but will work on that tomorrow.
Might have to restart these, so they will pick up on the new critter?

I just found that the reason that my little thumb drive, flash drive, whatever you call the little thingies, wont work on the old macs as its a different version of USB. Plug it in and it wont show up on the desktop, on either this old iMac nor my brother's old one.
So the only way to get those pictures off that machine, is to take the hard drive out, and put it into our daughter's Mac, but that means a drive to Boston.
Or the other option, is to upload the best of the pictures to our Shutterfly or Club Photo account, and have them make a CD from them, rather than make prints. So thats what I will do most likely. So I better get started picking out the best, as there are about 200 of these wedding pictures.
I am going to keep these instructions, as there are a lot of people upgrading from these old slotloading whatevers, and finding that the USB is not compatible.

Maybe I'm confused, but Jane's topic said
...Its(sic) my birthday, so I got this for my husband

Can I come live at your house for a few days?
Would that get me a new computer?
Apparently I could use one! 
All the best,

I would love to do this, I just hope I can get it to work. At the moment I havent been able to add Richie's computer to my two in a network. Ive got my G5 icon sitting on the desktop of the G4, and this is wonderful, just open the hard drive and drag anything anywhere. But I havent gotten it working with the new one yet.
I go to the Finder Go menu down to Network, and do it exactly like I do with these 2, but nothing shows up. I will work on it this afternoon.
But its these pictures off the old OS 9.2.2 one that I need.
Thank you for those links, I think I should be able to get it working.
I know Ive got an extra cable around here.

I don't know why/how, Jane (all my Older, Smarter Brothers/Sisters hereabouts will have to provide the explanation) but there have been times I could connect to the PB from the iMacIntel (your model) but not the other way 'round. Just couldn't make it happen through the directory display.
But, when I went to GO––>CONNECT TO SERVER and inserted the relevant IP address of the Mac with which I wished to share files, I get a connection every time. Saving those IP address in the GO window is the easiest way to make connections again, later.
You can find your IP address in NETWORK––>NETWORK STATUS––>your connection mode––>TCP/IP tab
Make sense?
Post by: jcarter on February 21, 2007, 03:20:52 PM
Ive always done it this way and it works so easily?
I just double click on the globe that indicates the computer I want to network, and bingo, is shows right up on the desktop within a second.
But his computer is on the same router but wont show up?
The menu wont even show up when I go to GO on his, sometimes it just blinks on for a second then goes away?
Thanks,
Jane
Post by: RHPConsult on February 21, 2007, 04:24:31 PM
you put in his IP Address going one way, OR yours going the other, and let the router take care of itself.
Are you using CONNECT TO SERVER, under GO, in TIGER on your new Mac?
That's how I got around nothing (zero) appearing, otherwise.

Second, recheck the settings on the new computer to be sure they are as directed in the links.
Third, check that Sharing is ON for the new computer.
Fourth, check those links again, carefully. It ain't rocket science. You can do it.

Hey Jim, you came to the rescue, now I can network all these Macs together.
Great!
Thank you!
Jane
We will work on the wedding pictures tomorrow, trying to network this old kerosene powered iMac to these new elect powered Macs will be fun, OS 9 and OS X,,,,here we go.
