I have just started a new job where everyone uses Macs and knows little to nothing about computers in general. We have a variety of Macs (G4, G5, PowerBooks) with each one running a different OS. (Mostly 10.X) Problem is that Im in charge of networking them eventually and most importantly, I have to figure out a way to get 5000+ files from one G4 to another. Tried FireWire but that didnt work (I think ports are fried) and then I tried transferring to a JumpDrive. Catch was that some file names had $,%,# and so on in them and it wouldnt get copied. I ended up having to rename a ridiculous amount of files. Then to top it all off, my colleague arranges and works with his files by date modified. Now when I renamed them and/or copied them to a JumpDrive, all the dates got changed and he wasnt happy. In addition, he claims that he has moved data over using an external hard drive and never had the date change problem. Please help me, I was hired to do some tech stuff but Macs are driving me bananas. Any resources/suggestions and so forth would be more than welcome! I really would like to love Mac but have had nothing but issues with stupid stuff!!!!
