Hi, I know this has been extensively covered and I've spent the last 2 hours trawling thru' various forums...BUT!

I've bought a previously loved imac intel duo running 10.5, I want to transfer
files from my old G4 PPC running 10.4. I've done everything you're supposed to do, connected them with 6 pin firewire, started up the G4 holding down the 'T' key, tried migration assistant, used 'target mode' etc. The G5 doesn't see the G4. The firewire symbol doesn't appear on the G4.

What am I doing wrong? Or what else can I try?
