Powerbook problems w/ LaCie hard drive
I have an older Powerbook G4 that is not recognized by the external hard drive. It's running OS 10.2.8. When I do a backup, it backsup to the internal Mac HD, worthless. Any ideas on what I can do to correct this situation. When I go to system preferences, it shows the LaCie shortcut button and if I click on it it shows the drive but I can't get to the drive in Finder or on the screen. It only shows the Mac internal HD on the screen. Using a USB cable because the older apple doesn't have firewire.
I'm trying to get my music file from the old computer to a newer Macbook Pro so I can load into my iphone. I'd use the older ipod as a hard drive but only have itunes 6 on that and it seems you need itunes 7 to make that work.
Right now, I'm going nowhere fast.
