![]() Personally, no matter what, I'd never buy the full version. The drive I can't see on the desktop is a Seagate Model ST3408 10A.I don't know if the full version allows for more than one screen (I'm pretty sure it doesn't) but the only disadvantage of the free version is that you have to reconnect like every 20 min. The other drive (that does appear on the desktop) has a jumper. The pins, where I think the jumper should be, don't have any jumper. However, none of the First Aid functions are available (Verify permissions, Verify Disk, et cetera).Ĭould it be whether the drive is set to Master? That's the one thing that's not clear to me at this point. The DW box showed the drive as the Orange Icon with the Firewire symbol and provided disk size et cetera. I then used Disk Utility and it could see the drive. DW took a fair amount of time but, in the end, did not see the drive. I opened Disk Warrior, while the drive was wound down, and the drive started. ![]() I unplugged and replugged the USB connector and, on replugging, got this message "The disk you inserted is not readable by this computer". I have gone through the OWC suggestions about connecting and reconnecting without results. The USB is connected directly to my iMac running OSX 10.6.6. I have the Blue power light and the Red IDE/ATA light but the drive is not appearing on the desktop. The drive with the system is another story. I got the Orange Disk icon on the desktop and could transfer files. When I hooked up to the non-system drive HD of the G4, everything was fine. I have the OWC Universal Drive Adapter (USB 2.0). I keep one of those generic ide/sata to USB adapters in my laptop bag for just such an occasion. If it's not available for your firmware, you'll need to remove the hdd and do a "from another volume on this computer" and plug it into the usb/firewire. If a monitor can be borrowed, why not simply use it to do that? In fact, my original thought regarding ryck's question was to connect the two Macs with an Ethernet crossover cable and transfer files that way I didn't make the suggestion only because a monitor would be required to enable file sharing on his daughter's computer. ScreenRecycler now enables you to use this spare computer as a second display for your Mac.Use any machine as an additional monitor for your Mac !"Īnd in any case, ScreenRecycler needs the two Macs to be networked if they are, then the problem is already solved without any additional software, via standard Ethernet file sharing. "If you own two computers with separate screens you can use ScreenRecycler.Many Mac users have a second computer sitting right next to their main computer on their desk including a nice display. Seems to me that ScreenRecycler is the opposite of what ryck needs—it would allow him to use another Mac's monitor as an additional display: ![]() I can't check with her right now as she's unavailable, so I'll just ask: "Suppose the G4 OS is not the latest version.will that be a show-stopper, or just affect transfer performance?" ![]() I'm pretty sure the firmware is fine (the G4 used to be mine) but I'm not certain about the OS. The instructions talk about firmware and software being up to date. Update: I may have found the answer here although I still have a question. If it won't work in target is there any other way to get the G4 to see either her MacBook or my iMac (2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) running 10.6.5 However, I'm now not certain that that will work. She won't be bringing the monitor so I thought "Target Disk". She'd like to get rid of the G4 this weekend (Translation: stash it in my attic) and has asked if she'd be able to transfer files when she gets here. She also has an Intel MacBook (1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo) running OSX 10.5.8. Hope I picked the right forum (thought that me being 10.6 might provide admittance).feel free to move, if not.
