PowerMac Pro doesn't recognize the MacBook Pro in target disk mode

I'm trying to restore a disk from MacBook Pro from a backup, but my PowerMac Pro does not seem to recognize the MacBook Pro in target disk mode.  I have a FireWire 800 cable and adapter to the thunderbolt FireWire 800 port.  Is there something more I should do to get the Mac Pro power to recognize the MacBook Pro in disc mode target like an external hard drive?

There is no "Power Mac Pro;" are you referring to a Power Mac (which would be less than 11 years), or a Mac Pro? You try to migrate data from the MacBook Pro to another Mac, or vice versa?

    The Sansa times .mp3, .wma. OGG, FLAC and .wav. It cannot decode m4a or mpeg-4.

    Are downloads of iTunes? Apple doesn't want read you elsewhere on your computer and whatever this dopI little pocket music player they do is called?   M4a and .aac are owners of Apple formats.

    You must extract these files from CDs in mp3, or if you do not have CD you will need to convert m4a to mp3. Download the free media encoder and conversion (transcoding) these files mp4 to mp3 high quality, 192 Kbps or higher. If you use more low-quality mp3 will save you space, but the sound quality will suffer.

    And if you use iTunes to rip a CD, you can change the settings (in Edition/Preferences/Advanced/import music, which differs from the advanced visible tab) to mp3 instead of m4a files when rip you.

    If your files are m4p, the p is for protégés who are protected against copying the files, which means that you're not supposed to move on another device.  The only way to convert is to go into the underground world of pirate.

  • Check out the Photos (target disk mode) files

    Unfortunately, it seems that my iMac is damaged and I am in the middle of the tent back up all my files. The iMac won't boot to the top, and it looks like it might be a problem with the graphics card or the logic board. I can access Mode without failure, but it's pretty unusable due to the fragmented picture and lines on the screen. However, I was able to use the iMac with "Target disk Mode" for use as a hard disk.

    So, as I can not open the Photos app I was wondering how I can recover the files it contains? If I copy my file from the library on another computer I will be able to use / access that previous files I had saved in Photos? My understanding is that the files are stored somewhere in the library? I do not use iCloud!

    Most of the things I want to back up are in the files that I can just slide through a macbook via firewire, but I worry about what the other files I might lose (what I forget). Pictures is the only app I can think where are stored the files differently I use however.

    It would be great if someone can help with this, thanks in advance

    Usually Yes

    The best solution is to restore you last backup to another computer, since it is a full disc and not affected by problems with your main computer - this is why you should always have a good current backup

    If for some reason that doesn't work then just drag the photo library to the other computer and save it to the top of there

    Extract the files is a last resort because you lose everything except the original photos - all editing, any organization, etc - your original photos are in the folder of the masters in the photo library

  • How can I see the user on a target disk library?

    Migration Manager does not work to move a user to a new iMac. We can slide on the user a little at a time, but how do you make the user visible on the disk library I target disk mode? (The old laptop will start is no longer)

    Open your home folder on this drive, choose go to folder from the Finder menu and provide the library as the path.

  • iMac 27 "retina (end of 2015) with target disk Mode Macbook Pro?

    Hello

    I am interested in buying an iMac 27 "5 k retina (end of 2015) my household has also two early 2011 15" Macbook Pro, which are still in use.

    I understand that this iMac no longer manages the target Display Mode. As I am unable to use the iMac as an external display for my Macbook, would it be possible instead, connect via Thunderbolt, a Macbook to the iMac, and access only to files hang when necessary?

    If this can complicate things, I am limited as to how I can custom configure how to buy the iMac 27 "(je serais d'acheter la base 27" iMac, avec 1 to de disque DUR). " I also intend on buying an external SSD that I would use to run/start the iMac, using the drive HARD internal to the iMac as ' dedicated local storage'otential

    EDIT: Would there be potential problems? I would be able to access just like I would if I say it, hooked to a USB key? If I was working on the files, I need to import them to the iMac or be able to work directly from the drive?

    Yes.

  • BIOS doesn't recognize the new drive to CD/DVD on TECRA S1

    Replaced my default drive SD-R2412 with a new SD-R2512. Unfortunately, when I boot the drive is not recognized. Any help or advice gratefully received.

    Thank you very much

    Kevin

    Hello

    Don t think you would be able to solve this problem without to replace the CD/DVD drive again.

    You get an IDE #1 error message. Am I wrong? This happens because your CD/DVD drive supports master/slave/c-salt settings wrong!
    Because no compatible settings BIOS cannot recognize it properly.

    In your case I would contact the local ASP for more information on compatible CD/DVD players and get a new one.

    Good luck

  • Sansa fuze doesn't recognize the storage capacity all and does not load?

    My 8 gb sansa Fuze only recognizes about 400 MB and will no more. It is just over a year and has worked well before. Nor my sansa fuze or clip will hold most any kind of a charge. The clip is about 2 years old. I recently bought a new computer and I am running windows xp. The two sansas stopped working after I tried to load them into my new pc. What could have caused this and how can I solve this problem? Thank you.

    You can have a file in there that stifles the Sansa, wielding Media update. If it gets stuck, hold the power button and keep it for 20 seconds after the screen turns off.

    Your update is probably spent the USB mode to automatic detection, which will be a PSG connection if it detects Windows 10 or 11 on your computer - but XP comes with WMP 9 unless you have updated, that would send Auto Detect Meteorological Service of the Canada in the event where it is not working properly.

    I suggest reloading the firmware, just in case. Search in the firmware upgrade instructions near the top of the first page of the forum force MSC for the upgrade.

    Then choose a mode - MTP or MSC, depending on what you are used to - rather than the automatic detection function.

    And if it remains stuck, while you are using MSC run Error Correction. Right-click on the drive, properties, tools, error checking. He might find a problem file.
