G4 to Intel Duo2 Mini - Help!

Hi all

-

Old person needing help to transfer files from my gen G4 mini 1-my mini Intel 2 Duo of recent 2009 here.

Data sheet:

Old Mini:

G4 Mini 1.42 Ghz with OS 10.5.8 (mf 2004 apx.)

Optical drive is broken - do not accept DVD/CD

LaCie external drive connected to the G4 mini with firewire and USB cables

LaCie has been implemented as a bootable drive.  It is divided into two sections: one with 10.3 Panther and the other with Leopard 10.5.8.  Time machine is on the section of Leopard.

New Mini

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26 Ghz with OS 10.6.8 (mf. 2009 apx.)

Problem:

I read the messages that say it isn't a good idea to use the migration assistant or firewire target mode disc G4 Intel because they use different code.  Better to install fee copies of the software on the new system and the transfer by USB, backups on external or optical disks, or via ethernet.

Ok.  I am now officially lost.

The files that I want to transfer are Mac application files and MS Word files.

Mac application files:

Text editing

Mail - my mailboxes

iPhoto - my photos

Safari - bookmarks

iTunes - audio podcasts / books and music

Stickies

MS Office

I have MS Office 2004 edition installed on the old mini for G3 and upward, so my documents have been created in this application.  I should install it on the Intel mini, OR do I need to install a new MS Office 2008 I have that I never opened that says the requirements are for a PPC G4/G5 or Intel processor?

I don't quite understand libraries and other parts of the MacOS system...

If anyone can tell me how to get the foregoing transferred on the mini Intel, step by step, I would be very grateful.

I don't know where to start, and I don't really know what other info to put in this post that you might need to know in order to help others that I do not have wifi.  My internet is via ethernet.

Thank you!

I would use Word 2008 in case you later want to increase past Snow Leopard. Make a backup of Snow Leopard before doing anything. Copy the user folder of leopard on the Snow Leopard desktop. Then in the Leopard user folder, open the folder of the user and copy the files to the same location in Snow Leopard, for example Documents to Documents, pictures, photos. For mail, do not copy the entire your user library, copy only the folder Mail in Snow Leopard user library. Once that is done, open the respective applications and access the newly copied files.

  • HP 15-f209wm with Intel Celero: need help with a unusual amenities. Install windows 7 on a new computer windows 10.

    Hello

    I am really puzzled here and need help you guys!

    A friend of mine, who is not computer savy is used to windows 7 and would like to 'return' in Windows 7 to a windows 10.
    She recently bought a new computer:
    Black HP 15.6 "15-f209wm with Intel Celeron N2840 4 GB memory 500 GB (windows 10)

    And had me working on it to install it as a Windows 7.
    The problem that I didn't forsee is that after I installed wiondows 7 Nothing worked because all the installed drivers were too 'new' for the Windows 7 operating system at least that is what I think the problem is.

    The main thing that doesn't work is the USB ports and Wifi,
    and I cannot find drivers to make this 'connection', this 'bridge' of sorts between Windows 7 operating system and the hardware inside the computer.  And I can't find solutions on the net!

    An idea that I'm trying is to copy and paste drivers from another computer Windows 7 HP, on it. But I don't know if that's going to walk.

    I am really confused with this and need your expertise!

    We thank you in advance.

    * Note *.
    This computer has not been upgraded from a previous version of Windows.
    I tried the Driver Booster to see if it would be the auto scan, detect and install fix it but it didn't.
    I got the Lan/Ethernet is finally working.

    Hello:

    This driver installs usb, not the chipset driver controllers... (the last driver that I posted on my first answer).

    Download, unzip and run the setup.exe file.

    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/download/25687/us B-3-0-Intel-USB-3-0-Driver-for-Intel-NUC6i-x-SY

    According to the specifications of product for your laptop, the USB driver above must have worked.

    If the usb driver 3 above fails to install the usb controller...

    Please view the the hardware ID for the USB controller requiring driver.

    To find the hardware ID, go the Device Manager and click on the usb controller requiring driver.

    Then click on the Details tab in the upper part of the window of the USB controller.

    Now you will see a drop-down list of property, and it will be set to the Description of the unit.

    On this list and select the 2nd (Hardware ID).

    After the first string of characters you see in the window.

  • Intel Rapid Storage help

    Hello and thank you for taking the time to help me.

    Today, I had to do a fresh install, I have 2 x 750 GB HDDs in Raid 0 and as you can see by the photo, I joined Intel Rapid Storage has them in a Raid, but when I go on my computer its shows only a hard drive to 697 concert should it not read 1 397gig as IRS there value?

    and thanks again for ideas.

    Hello!

    It seems that the RAID and cache drive has not been configured correctly. RAID 0 indicates the correct TSRI but not on my computer storage space, and the 60GB SSD shows as a caching device, even if the page indicates the acceleration is disabled.

    I recommend you recreate the RAID and starting from scratch. Follow the instructions below:

    1. Delete the current RAID configuration and recreate the RAID 0 by following the steps described in this article.
    2. Follow the instructions step by step in this video to make a clean Windows installation.
    3. After you have installed Windows, install drivers in the correct order specified here.
    4. Then you can Activate the acceleration on the SSD by following the steps here.

    Let me know how it goes!

  • Defective video on Mac Pro Intel card?, help!

    Hi all, my Mac Pro Intel crashed at recentpy. At the start, it appears that the SSD drive had failed completely. Since I replaced the drive however at startup, I now feared vertical lines. What is a graphics card problem? I have tested the monitor and it works fine on other machines. The machine hangs at startup and I tried a number of different ways starting in diagnostics etc. The video in the machine card is a Geforce.

    Sounds very like the graphics card has disappeared.

    which he was.

    my mac Pro 3.1 Nvidea GeForce 8800 GT went bang a few months ago

    in a rather more psychedelic way. still, it lasted 7 years when it was supposed to give up almost immediately.

    replaced by a Nvidea GeForce GT 120, which is fine.

    a lot of options out there if you don't mind is not to have the screen of "boot".

  • WRT160N + Intel 5100AGN Questions, help please!

    Hi all! I'm a happy user of WRT160N V.2 for several days. I've updated the firmware to 2.0.2.I have laptop with wifi Intel 5100AGN built into the adapter. My internet connection is 100 Mbps, by using DHCP, but I have the static IP chosen on the router configuration, Net provider said its best with them (he told me that because of the thought IM client with * beep * y netgear router etc.). I chose for the wifi encryption WPA Personal.Thats my little information may prove necessary resolve my issues.

    Therefore, the router works perfectly, but I don't understand why my wifi 54 Mbps? First day where I set it up, my connection was moving in all 65-72mbps. I don't know what happened, but now its 54 Mbps (im in about 3 meters from the router, signal strenght 100%). I tried several options that I found in the menu router without results. First I tried to change the Capture of N (wlanadv.transrate) rate of Transmission of Auto - 15 - 144mbps. My laptop connected successfully to the router, but still at 54 Mbps. In the menu of basic wireless settings I choose mode manual network and changed its joint Wireless-n only. With this changed option I could not log in again. Changed desktop pc t mixed. I'll be happy to understand what I'm doing wrong... Thank you in advance!

    Oh! You have WRt160N, settings 5 GHz is not for you, don't go with 5 GHz settings...

    As you have WRT160N v2 router there a lot of problems with the Build11 2.0.02 firmware, you should downgrade of firmware to Version 2.0.02 Build 08 v2Firmware WRT160N, see the link here

  • Vista stops computer a min - help!

    Just replaced power supply and also reset cmos battery replaced. Boots fine in safe mode for as long as I want. On normal startup he rolls 1 min turns off. Have no restore and power has exploded onto the last automatic update Vista last week. Ideas were to start to solve the problem?
    Thank you in advance!

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    Please first check that when you the physical switch turn on wireless communication, you should also somewhere (probably near the switch) see an orange light.
    If this isn't the case, then there is something wrong.
    Did also attach you the antenna cables to the Wifi card?
    You use the Windows XP client or customer of Intel for wifi?
