How do I transfer an address book from one computer to another?

I'm trying to transfer an address book from my G4 to my Imac G5 and can't seem to figure out how to do it. I've tried exporting out of one, but the other doesn't read it. These computers are not connected so I'm transferring via cd.
Thanks,
Dick Skover

Hi Dick
If they are both running Tiger
Use "Backup Address Book" in Address Book > File to make a copy then
"Revert to Address Book Backup" on the iMac
I use this for backing up both Address Book and iCal as a matter of course (it is the Apple recommended way in the Help files) I put them into a folder in my "Documents" and clear old copies once a month. If you use .Mac I would certainly recommend it seeing the problems with data loss some folks have had.

How do i transfer my address book from one computer to another

Old computer is XP new compiuter is 7. Mozilla Thunderbird is the email program. Both are installed on separate computers.

On your old computer (XP), go to Thunderbird (TB)
select Address Book
highlight which address book you want (such as Personal Address Book)
from menu bar select Tools then Export
enter a name such as addresses.ldif Use LDIF rather than CSV format!
select a destination folder such as Documents
click Save
copy the file (addresses.ldif) to your new computer via disk, memory card, or even email!
put the file in your Documents folder on the new computer (Win7)
On your new computer, go to TB
select Address Book
from menu bar select Tools then Import
click Address Books then Next
highlight Text File (LDIF, ...)
click Next
select the folder (Documents) and file (addresses.ldif) and click Open
the addresses will be imported
success! click Finish
Notes:
The address book you import will take on the name of the file without the .ldif extension (e.g. addresses). You can rename the file before you import it. Just keep the .ldif extension.
If you want more than one word in the name, use an underscore instead of a space (e.g. Personal_Contacts). Don't use spaces! They really complicate things.

HT1473 How can I move my iTunes software from one computer to another?

I purchased a new PC. I tried copying my iTunes software to the new computer, but it wouldn't open. So I downloaded a new copy of iTunes to the new computer. When I tried to sync my iPhone to the new iTunes, it wouldn't allow me to put the music on my iPhone into the iTunes library because my new PC wasn't "Authorized".
How to I move the iTunes software from my old PC to the new PC so I won't have this sync problem?

See this migrate iTunes library post for moving your library across.
You don't generally copy installed programs, but rather use their installers on each machine.
You can authorize the new computer from the Store menu. The menu bar is initially hidden but can be revealed with CTRL+B.

How can I move PSE 7.0 from one computer to another without a disc?

I had PSE 7.0 on an old laptop. I bought a new one and cannot find my old installation disc. How can I move it from one PC to another? I have not been able to get to the Adobr support center.

You do not want to move Adobe applications between machines. Download and install the application.

How do I move PSE 8.0 from one computer to another?

I wish to move PSE 8.0 from my old computer to my new one, how do I do this please? I tried activating it with Adobe with the same details as my account, but it hasn't been added to my account. I also looked in System Info in PSE 8.0 to find my serial number, but it is only 20 digits long and Adobe says that to activate any key it must be 24 digits long. So in short, how do I do this?

How do I move iTunes music content from one computer to another?

I need to move iTunes content from an older MacBook, which serves as the music source for our audio system, to a new Mac mini, which will now do the same.
I know to move the folder in the music folder but I would like to make certain the playlists are moved in conjunction with the move so I don't have to recreate the playlists on the new mini.
I can't find any information on how to do this in the faqs, in the Take Control books, or the latest system manuals.
Any help would be much appreciated.

How do I move purchased tv show from one computer to another - same acct.

I have multiple computers that are all authorized to use the same iTunes Store account. I purchased a season pass to a TV show and when new episodes become available, my daughter's computer is first to download. I would like to also play those episodes on other authorized computers in the house. How do I go about this? I tried to move the show from my daughter's computer to my iPad and then move from my iPad up to my computer but it will not let me do that. Tips are apreciated.

Copy them to dvd, flash drive, external drive,etc.
What was the problem with the ipad?
Sync it to ipad, then without syncing, connect the ipad and click File>Transfer Purchases

How do I move my iTunes library from one computer to another?

Is it accessaible online or how do I do it?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you do it properly there is no need to "import" anything on the new computer, you connect iTunes to a copy of the original library and it just works.

How to transfer the whole address book from one no...

Dear friend,
Could you please advise me "how to transfer the whole address book from one nokia to another nokia phone via blue tooth connectivity. (move one by one is not convenience for my hundreds of contact.
Thank and waiting for advice...
victor

If your phones have the built-in "Transfer" (sometimes called "Switch") application, try it.
Otherwise, depending on the model(s) you can also copy all contacts to/from the memory card, and get them over that way.
And you can also synchronize both programs to the same service (e.g., Outlook on a Windows PC using Nokia PC Suite).
And newer versions of Nokia PC Suite can also be used to make a backup of one phone, and then restore to another.
PC Suite you can find here: http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite

How do I move an address book from a pc to my MacBook Pro

How do I move an address book from a pc to my new MacBook Pro

Hey andreafiona,
You can either manually migrate or use Windows Migration Assistant. I'd like to direct you to two articles - the first one here will go over generally what Windows Migration Assistant is about. For you, I'd skip to the section titled "What gets transferred, and to where?" and then "Email, contacts, and calendar information" so you can read about where you contacts will get moved if you choose the WMA option:
About Windows Migration Assistant
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796
Then, this next article will be a step by step process for transferring from your PC to the MacBook Pro and will include using both Windows Migration Assistant and manually migrating, whichever you choose:
