| How do I transfer my files from OS 8.5 to a newer iMac? I have an old imac 233 here that has os 8.5 on it and I am having a tough time getting files transfered over to my new imac. I tried a usb hard drive and the old mac did not pick it up. Any ideas?

| Thanks for the info. When I do that it gives me this error: "This file server uses an incompatible version of the afp protocal."

| That did not work either. When I go into Network Browser on the old imac and click on the new imac that it sees I get the error message "The server James Computer cannot be found". The old imac sees the new imac but seems like it cannot connect for whatever reason.

| I am dealing with a similar problem (8.1). I'll let you know if I get it solved. |

| Maybe AppleTalk needs to be turned off in both machines? This is just a guess.

| Well, I can't speak for 8.5, but I did transfer some files from OS 9 just last week to 10.4, and was able to connect over ethernet by typing in the IP address of the 10.4 machine. Anytime I tried to transfer larger files, it would drop the remove connection. So, I had to make a change on the 10.4 machine which fixed it. But, I don't think that is your problem. |
