Please let me know, if the target disk mode worked for you - pretty much have the same problem. I did what Wjosten proposed and connected my Powerbook G4 with a firewire cable and started it in target disk mode. The connection works - I have no problem seeing my target disk on my new Macbook Pro and I can open any file on the target disk. But still, when I start the migration assistant, it does not recognize the disk - it has been really frustrating to me. Please let me know, if you came up with a solution. I asked this question yesterday in a separate thread but got no answer...
Thanks

Sep 27, 2012 4:18 PM in response to Msiegenthby Laura Holck,I did not run migration assistant. I connected the computers together with a firewire cable and started the G4 in target disk mode. It appeared on the desktop of the Macbook Pro and I was able to transfer the files with a copy command.

I probably will end up doing that, I was hoping to avoid having to reinstall all the programs I have on my old powerbook, I could have saved a lot of time.
Thanks for your help

Jan 1, 2013 8:46 AM in response to Msiegenthby pike67,Exactly the same here. Old MacBook doesnt appear in Migration Assistent when in target disk mode - the disk mounts on the desktop, but is not seen in Migration assistent.
Ofcourse i can copy the files. But I want the bundle of applications, drivers, etc.... Anyone ?
