1. running emac (g4) in 10.3.9.... given copy of 10.4 upgrade.... did this... seemed successful.... modem (speedtouchusb 330) kept flashing red light..... after relentless search discovered needed upgrade driver modem... found one... installed.... still flashing red...
...ok... no problems, i'll restore (using restore disks arrived emac when new) 10.2 , try again...
...so, put in restore disk 10.2.... successful installation... came asking admin password.... ever use 1 password reason wouldn't accept it... no matter how many times tried re-starting, still asked admin password.... there 3 other users on particular emac , can log in passwords... not mine (admin)..... ideas, anyone?
, part 2...
when have got emac , running want run internet on on mac emac.... 2nd mac (g4) located in different room in house.... software/hardware/peripherals need this?
please bear in mind technical knowledge limited when comes installation stuff, 'step-by-step idiot guides' welcome!
cheers!
okay, boot restore discs again , use password utility reset password of account can't log into.
there few ways this. software built osx on whole, you'll need sort of connection. depending on how current modem connected modem, ethernet cable connecting 2 machines suffice? otherwise might have start looking @ wireless routers , cards, may expensive depending on how old machines are. i'd argue it's easier buy router if current modem supports 1 connection, , run ethernet cables each machine. sort of internet connection have , how connected emac currently?
