How do I migrate Thunderbird POP messages from my old Mac to my new Mac without going through gmail?

Bought new Mac last November. Need to migrate 5 years' worth of Thunderbird POP messages from my old Mac to my new Mac. For security reasons, I do NOT want to upload everything through gmail, but copy them directly through a flash drive. Don't know where to find the Thunderbird POP message files inside Mac OS. Help?

  • How do you migrate itunes and iphoto from an old imac to a new imac

    I am trying to move my existing itunes and iphoto libraries from an old iMac to a new iMac.  Migration Assistant does not seem to have any way of doing this.  What would be the best way to migrate these to the new iMac?  Thank you.

  • How can i migrate a single application from my old macbook to my new macbook

    Can I migrate only single applications or files using the migration assistant? how?

    I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
    All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
    Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
    Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync.  

  • How do I migrate my Firefox bookmarks from my old pc to my new MacBook Pro?

    Opened my new refurbished MacBook Pro today and went through the migration process to move files from my almost 10 year old PC running XP-3 and Firefox 27.0.1 and it doesn't appear that my bookmarks found their way to the MacBook. If I download and install Firefox on my Mac how can I get all of my bookmarks from my old PC onto the MacBook?

  • How Do I migrate Adobe digital Editions from an old PC to a new PC

    I have Adobe Digital Editions installed on an old PC with a lot of eBooks from various book stores and public domain sites.
    Now I want to migrate this Content to a new PC without downloading again every book from the sources.

    If you already enable the iCloud mail you can't change it.
    If you don't, you can choose a username for your @icloud.com account.

    How do you migrate Sage Instant Accounts from my old pc to my new imac. Thanks

    Nelly, I found this on the Sage web site:
    [click to enlarge]
    That means you will not have access to Sage at all from a Mac. If Sage is a work requirement, you will have to set up your Mac to run Windows as well as Mac OS. If this is a home product, there are many Mac financial products to which you could probably import your current data on the PC.

  • The display on my MacBook Pro from 2007 finally gave out, how do I transfer all the data from the old one onto my new one?

    A week or so ago, the screen on the Macbook Pro I've had for 5 years went permanently black. The screen itself still works, but it's just all black. Went from flickering/flashing to black. I didn't have any kind of warranty on it or anything, and in addition to all of the other things about it that needed fixing, it seemed like it'd just be cheaper to get a new Macbook Pro.
    My question is: How do I get all the stuff from the old laptop to the new laptop without having to use the old laptop's display? Is there a cable I can use to connect the two, and I can just access the old one from the new one?

    FireWire between the two (get appropriate 800-800 or 400-800), Target Disk Mode on the old one, appears as an external disk on the new one. Drag everything over, or use Setup Assistant if first start of new one, or plain old Migration Assistant. You really don't need a display to see a prancing FireWire icon, do you?

    (with the added advantage that since you ain't booting anything off the drive, can turn the Mac on or off at will without risking data corruption on the drive)

  • I set up my new computer using the apple ID i always use, and then later migrated all my files from my old mac book to the same new one, but under a different user (same ID). how do i consolidate the two users on my new mac book?

    Well if you use the Finder Go menu to Computer, a window opens up double click on your boot drive and then on Users folder, open the other user folder and open Public and drop your files into DropBox
    When you do this it will copy them and change the permissions and user assigned to it, so log into the other user and place them into your respective normal folders.
    Once you have all your files over and don't need the old user, use System Preferences > Accounts to delete it if you wish, however it's good two Admin accounts on the machine in case something bad happens in the other. Some people for security reasons on use a Standard account for most uses and a emergency Admin account.
    One can still do most Admin things in Standard user.

  • How can I migrate data from an old MBA to a new one without having access to the screen of the old one? The screen of the old MBA is damaged !

    How can I migrate data from an old MBA to a new one without having access to the screen of the old one? The screen of the old MBA is damaged !

    If your "older" MBA has a Thunderbolt port then it isn't that old. See Target Disk Mode about how it's used. Note that without a monitor you won't be able to tell from the screen when it has fully started, and if it succeeded in starting in TDM. If it did, then the hard drive should appear on the Desktop of your new computer. You can then access it to transfer your files. You can even use Migration Assistant or any backup utility to transfer data. Just don't try to transfer system files.

    This is a question for my brother, and he has an iMac PPC (he calls it the "ball") from 2003, which has a FireWire port.  He wants to get a new iMac, which I see has the Thunderbolt port.
    The new iMacs also have a FireWire 800 port, so a FireWire cable will work.  The "ball" sounds like a G4 iMac, which has a FireWire 400 port, so either a cable with different plugs or an adapter would be needed.
    He has found your very detailed instructions about using Migration Asst
    For best results, use Setup Assistant when the new Mac first starts up, not Migration Assistant later on.
    to set up the new Mac with everything he currently has on his old Mac.
    Since the old Mac is a PPC Mac, he/you probably should not transfer applications --  most 3rd-party apps that work on the old Mac won't work on the new one.
    I see the Apple store has a Thunderbolt-Fire Wire cable -- will this do the trick?
    It looks like it would, but it's F/W 800, so you'll still need a F/W 400-to-F/W 800 cable and an adapter.
    Or, use an Ethernet cable and transfer via network.

    Install iTunes 9.2.1 on your computer. If the device's requirements specify iTunes 10 or newer, you need to purchase Mac OS X 10.5 on DVD.

    Hi FWFFP,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below will explain how to get music onto your new computer.  I'd personally recommend the option of copying the iTunes library from your current computer to an external drive, because it creates a backup for you as well:
